Chapter 348 It’s really her
Lingrong could not have imagined such a queen. She was completely different from the queen in her previous life. The queen in her previous life was obsessed with the emperor's love and the power in the harem, but the current queen seemed to be more free and easy. She never let go of the power, but she no longer expected the emperor's favor.
"Okay, I'm tired, let's go!"
Following the Queen's order to expel the guests, everyone stood up and walked out in a happy mood, but Ling Rong was full of doubts. How could the Queen be so generous as to let all the concubines compete for her favor? Was she killing someone with a borrowed knife?
The Queen's behavior made Lingrong a little confused, but it also deepened her suspicion. The Queen was reborn. The most direct and effective way to make a person's heart change so quickly is to make her disappointed in the people or things she cares about most.
In her previous life, the Queen was extremely disappointed as she watched the Emperor's growing favor towards Zhen Huan. At that time, she had already given up the Emperor, whom she cared about most, in exchange for power. Unfortunately, the Third Prince was really not worthy of being used. In this life, the Queen adopted the Fourth Prince, which was one of the reasons why she suspected the Queen.
But Zhen Huan has also changed a lot. What Zhen Huan did in this life was really too childish. Although this time it was because Ling Rong was reborn and knew Zhen Huan's thoughts and methods in advance, Zhen Huan's ability to respond was really too weak.
It really doesn't seem like Zhen Huan's level, unless this is not Zhen Huan from the previous life, but who else could she be if not Zhen Huan?
Ling Rong, who returned to Anlan Garden, became more and more confused. Everyone's IQ and methods were online, but why did Zhen Huan go wrong? Could it be...
"Juqing, the end of summer and the beginning of autumn is the best time to eat lotus roots. Invite everyone to come to my garden tomorrow to eat lotus roots. Tell the imperial kitchen to prepare a lotus root banquet tomorrow."
The next day, those who came were those who were of lower rank than Ling Rong or who were on good terms with Ling Rong. The Queen, Concubine Hua, and Concubine Duan did not come.
If it wasn't a gathering of only family members, then all the conversation would be meaningless flattery. Ling Rong didn't care about these. What she cared about were the desserts that were served.
"The new lotus roots have come down. This lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cake is Sister Mei's favorite. Everyone should try it. There is also osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, which is not bad either." Following Ling Rong's invitation, those who liked it or not used small silver forks to pick up a piece and put it into their mouths.
Lingrong also ate two pieces. She looked at Zhen Huan as if inadvertently, and saw that she had eaten three or four pieces. "Lady Wan, don't eat too much. There will be other delicacies later!"
Zhen Huan smiled shyly, a little embarrassed to be named, "The Imperial Concubine's is still the best. I always feel that the candied lotus root here lacks flavor."
"If you like it, bring more when you go back. I must have made more today." Lingrong smiled gently, but she couldn't help feeling a chill in her heart. Zhen Huan hated sweet food the most.
Today's goal was achieved, and Lingrong felt relieved. She had no interest in eating anymore. It seemed that this Zhen Huan was not the same Zhen Huan.
Zhen Huan really had problems, but that didn't mean the Queen didn't have any. After all, the Queen in this life raised both the Fourth Prince and Princess Wankang. In her previous life, she looked down on these illegitimate children. If it weren't for the throne, the Third Prince would never have entered her eyes.
"Your Majesty, you never like crowds, so why are you inviting so many people to a banquet today?" After seeing everyone off, Ju Qing couldn't help asking Ling Rong, who looked very tired.
"To verify something."
