Chapter 165 Life is worthless, the more chaotic the better
"Sister, you didn't go yesterday, but you missed a great show."
An Lingrong sneered and spoke.
"what happened?"
Fu Cha Zhixi naturally knew what happened yesterday, and looked at An Lingrong with pretended curiosity and asked.
"Yesterday, Concubine Cao deliberately asked Sister Zhen to perform the stunning dance, and Prince Dun also used this incident to mock the emperor. You don't know that the atmosphere was almost frozen yesterday. Fortunately, Prince Guo showed up in time to save the situation, but Prince Dun still refused to give in."
"Later, Prince Yi couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to speak up to ease the atmosphere, which gave the emperor a way out."
"At that time, Concubine Cao wanted to say something irrelevant. The Queen, who always liked to watch the concubines fight, could no longer sit still and took the initiative to stand up and block Concubine Cao's words."
An Lingrong spoke with a sigh.
She felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart. Zhen Huan was so favored, but the emperor still pushed Zhen Huan into such an embarrassing situation in order to save his own face.
"Sister, do you think the emperor really likes Sister Zhen?"
An Lingrong looked at Fu Cha Zhixi and couldn't help but ask.
"Why do you suddenly ask such a question?"
Fu Cha Zhixi did not answer An Lingrong directly, but asked back.
"I just think that the emperor seems to like Sister Zhen very much, but once the critical moment comes, he is not reluctant to sacrifice Sister Zhen."
An Lingrong spoke with a sigh.
Zhen Huan looked at all the favored people like this, and someone like her who was only slightly favored would probably be the first one to be abandoned by the emperor.
She looked at Fu Cha Zhixi somewhat uneasily, her eyes full of confusion and helplessness.
She had always thought that if she could be a little more favored, she could live a good life. Now that she is favored and her life has become better, she thought that she has established a firm foothold in the palace.
But now that the facts were before her, she didn't think the emperor would have said a word to help her if she had been the one pushed to dance the Jinghong Dance.
"In fact, concubines are just concubines. Aren't there enough concubines who have died in this palace?"
"These concubines are like leeks, growing one after another. Even if all of us are gone, the emperor will still have enough."
Fu Cha Zhixi shook his head, looked at An Lingrong and said with a smile.
It may not be a bad thing that An Lingrong realized the emperor's ruthlessness and cruelty so early in the harem. At least she would not be like Zhen Huan, who had high expectations but ended up leaving with disappointment.
Although in the plot Zhen Huan returned to the palace from Ganlu Temple and killed everyone, the girl Zhen Huan who longed to be with the emperor had died in the Forbidden City, and the one who was left was only Concubine Xi who pursued power and longed for revenge.
"elder sister."
An Lingrong naturally understood the meaning of Fu Cha Zhixi's words, but she didn't think that her sister was the same as her.
"The emperor values you so much, how could he treat you like this?"
"Of course not. I am just one of the concubines."
Fu Cha Zhixi smiled faintly and retorted.
"But my sister is of noble birth, unlike me who is of humble origin, so the emperor will naturally not have any scruples."
An Lingrong spoke anxiously.
"No matter how noble one's birth is, one is still a slave in front of the royal family. What is the difference between slaves of high and low status?"
Fucha Zhixi spoke.
"But the less others take us seriously, the more we should take ourselves seriously."
"If this palace just waits for the emperor's help, it will only fall into endless pain. The best way is to save ourselves."
Fu Cha Zhixi did not want to convey any negative thoughts to An Lingrong, but wanted to tell her that the emperor did not take them seriously, but she should not belittle herself.
If he doesn't give it to you, then take the initiative to fight for it. Benefits are something that will never fall from the sky, and will never slip from a man's hands.
Even if there were any, they were just the bones left over from taming a puppy. If you ate his bones, you would never be able to straighten your back again in the future.
"Yes, sister, I understand."
An Lingrong swept away her previous loss and frustration, and her heart was suddenly filled with hope.
After her sister gave birth to the child, she stopped burning incense and tried to get pregnant as soon as possible.
No matter what happens in this palace, having a child is like having an extra bargaining chip.
When people want to deal with this, they will take the children into consideration to some extent.
"By the way, Concubine Hua recited a poem yesterday. I saw that the emperor seemed quite moved. It seems that Concubine Hua will most likely regain his favor."
An Lingrong thought for a moment and then spoke.
"It's a pity that after all the effort we put in, Concubine Hua still didn't pay any price."
An Lingrong spoke with some dissatisfaction.
"Don't worry. The reason why Concubine Hua can be so domineering in the palace is partly because of the emperor's favor and partly because of Nian Gengyao."
"There is no need to worry about the emperor's favor, but Nian Gengyao is indeed a bit tricky."
"But we don't need to spend too much time on this matter. I heard my father say that Nian Gengyao was extremely arrogant and domineering in his dealings with others, even in front of the emperor. Such a high profile is probably just adding fuel to the fire, but he himself didn't realize it."
Fu Cha Zhixi spoke meaningfully.
"Sister, you mean, Your Majesty?"
An Lingrong thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Yes, it's just as you think. Our emperor is a ruthless man who fought for the throne during the previous emperor's battle. Do you think he would allow someone to offend his imperial dignity?"
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at An Lingrong with appreciation, nodded and said.
"Yes, Nian Gengyao will probably be like a grasshopper in autumn and won't be able to jump for long."
An Lingrong nodded thoughtfully and said.
"But are we just going to do nothing?"
An Lingrong turned to look at Fu Cha Zhixi and asked.
"What do you think can be done?"
Fu Cha Zhixi asked back.
"Add another handful of firewood."
An Lingrong's lips curled up in an icy arc.
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at An Lingrong and gave a meaningful smile.
"To be honest, this Concubine Hua is indeed not a good person, but at present she is the only one who can suppress the Queen. If she is gone, won't the Queen become even more arrogant?"
"What do you mean, sister?"
"Don't worry, take your time. I can't tell when the baby will be born. The more chaos there is in the palace, the better."
Fu Cha Zhixi reached out and held An Lingrong's hand, comforting her softly.
"I know what to do, sister."
