Chapter 196 Yu Rao's Thoughts (Part )
Zhen Yurao answered neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"When I first entered the palace, the Imperial Concubine told me to come to her if I needed anything."
"Your Majesty's words are as clear as day, so I can come here naturally."
Xia Dongchun raised his eyebrows and was about to sneer.
When An Lingrong saw Xia Dongchun like this, she knew that she might have misunderstood.
Really, I can't let her go on.
An Lingrong quickly interrupted Xia Dongchun who was furious.
“Miss Zhen is right. Since it is the Imperial Concubine’s intention, then go in as soon as possible.”
Having said that, An Lingrong calmly blocked Xia Dongchun.
"I still have to send Jing'an to the Empress, Chaopin, aren't you going to pick up Prince Hongxi?"
Xia Dongchun hadn't reacted yet as to why the tone suddenly changed and he hadn't even performed yet.
What does this mean?
What do you mean?
An Lingrong?
Seeing Xia Dongchun's still confused face, An Lingrong sighed in her heart. Never mind. She couldn't be relied on.
Jing'an looked at her mother, then at Empress Chao, and then at Zhen Yurao over there. The little princess was getting a little anxious.
She tugged at An Lingrong's sleeve, "Mother, brother Hongxi."
As soon as An Lingrong saw Jing'an, she immediately had an idea.
She said to Jinghe gently:
"Okay, mother will take you to find brother Hongxi right away."
Then, An Lingrong said to Xia Dongchun:
"Let's go first. It's getting late. The children must be waiting anxiously. Be careful that your Honghan will quarrel with you again."
When Xia Dongchun heard this, he thought of his son's devilish behavior and compromised. It seemed that An Lingrong had changed her mind again for some reason.
"Okay, go pick up Hongxi."
Afterwards, Xia Dongchun walked straight in without even looking at Zhen Yurao.
Zhen Yurao stood there, looking at the backs of the two people.
Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong were both concubines, but Xia Dongchun's status was more grand.
The orange Manchu dress she wore was gorgeous and expensive. The red and jade on her head were both priceless. The earrings dangled and the rubies were bright red. The palace maids following her also made her look even more imposing.
The concubine is really ostentatious.
Among all the concubines, she was considered to be in a higher position.
As for An Lingrong, this Concubine An is much more low-key. The pink clothes are also made of good material, but not those extremely rare ones. Although she has a lot of jewelry, in terms of value, they are not as good as those of the Concubine Chao.
Yes, Concubine An’s family was not prominent, and she was among the last few in terms of seniority and offspring among all the concubines. However, the pearl earrings on her ears were of good quality.
After Zhen Yurao saw this, she had an idea in her mind.
After calming down, Zhen Yurao also stepped into the gate of Chengqian Palace.
As soon as Zhen Yurao arrived at the entrance of the main hall, she saw Xia Dongchun coming out with a little boy, who was Prince Hongxi.
An Lingrong held Jing'an's hand, and Concubine Xian's maid Ruyi personally accompanied them and sent them out of the palace.
They talked and laughed along the way, but when Xia Dongchun saw Zhen Yurao, the smile on her face froze for a moment and she stopped looking at her for a moment.
Zhen Yurao deliberately made way for them and waited until they left before going to the main hall.
Zhen Yurao thought she had to wait for the message, but she saw Shunxin, who was beside Concubine Xian, was already waiting there.
"Miss Zhen is here, our queen is waiting for you inside, please come in."
Zhen Yurao was stunned, then smiled.
"it is good."
When I entered the inner room, I saw Huimin holding a cloth tiger.
When Huimin heard the noise and saw Zhen Yurao coming, she signaled everyone around her to step back.
After Zhen Yurao finished her greetings and saw that there was no one else around, she said:
"Sister Min, this is."
"Yu Rao, come and sit here."
Huimin patted the area beside her and said, "This was Hongyao's favorite cloth tiger when he was little. Hongxi kept asking for a wooden sculpture, so I thought of carving a tiger for him and found this cloth tiger."
Zhen Yurao leaned close to Huimin and also leaned over to look.
"Sister Min is amazing. She can also do wood carving."
Huimin laughed when she heard her say that.
"This is what Chaopin taught me."
"She's always been handy."
Huimin looked at Zhen Yurao and said, "I heard that you had some conflicts in front of Chengqian Palace today?"
Zhen Yurao pursed her lips, and Huimin understood at a glance.
"She's wrong this time. I've already told her."
"She has a very impulsive temper. Fortunately, you are sensible."
Huimin patted Zhen Yurao's hand as she spoke.
"I'm sorry to have wronged you this time."
Zhen Yurao then became happy, and she took Huimin's arm affectionately.
"With my sister here, Yu Rao won't feel wronged. I've heard about Chaopin's temper before, so I won't bother with her."
"How have you been these days? Has no one in the palace been giving you any trouble?"
Huimin asked.
Hearing this, Yu Rao hesitated and found it difficult to say the words she had prepared.
Seeing Zhen Yurao like this, Huimin gently turned her body over.
"You, don't have to think so much about Sister Min."
Zhen Yurao looked at Huimin. The torment of so many days turned into pain and she could no longer bear it.
"Sister Min, Yu Rao really doesn't know what to do."
"The Emperor has been hinting at this frequently in recent days. I'm afraid it won't be delayed for much longer."
Zhen Yurao buried her head in Huimin's arms, "Sister Min, I really don't know what to do."
"Although I was told before that I had to go for the Zhen family, it's really hard for me to convince myself."
Huimin felt the wetness on her chest, and helplessly touched her head gently to comfort her.
"Yu Rao, this matter is up to you to decide."
"You are the daughter of the Zhen family, and you are also Zhen Yurao."
Zhen Huan has abandoned her family and eloped with Prince Guo. People are selfish.
Zhen Huan also knew what her fake death meant, and she also knew what would happen to her family if she flattered the emperor, but she still left.
No?
It is normal for Zhen Yurao to hesitate.
Huimin knew very well what kind of person the emperor was.
Zhen Yurao sobbed and her words were intermittent.
"But, Sister Min, if I agree, Zhen Yurao will no longer be Zhen Yurao, and I will no longer be Zhen Yurao!"
Huimin patted her back gently, "Zhen Yurao is Zhen Yurao."
"No matter what, you are still that Zhen Yurao."
"A moment of forbearance cannot change what is in your bones. If your heart remains the same, you are still Zhen Yurao."
Huimin meant something.
Huimin knew what Zhen Yurao was referring to. She was a substitute, wagging her tail for pity, and had lost her pride. How could she still be Zhen Yurao?
However, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge; if you can endure for a while, you can see the future.
Huimin didn't say much and just let her think about it.
Zhen Yurao's body convulsed from crying. She stopped talking, only her body moved up and down.
Huimin just held her in her arms and let her think it through.
Zhen Yurao was silent for a very long time, so long that Huimin's arms were numb, but she did not urge her.
After a while, Zhen Yurao said in a muffled voice:
"Sister Min, I've made up my mind."
