Ling Zhiyan was not surprised to hear that Concubine An was promoted to Concubine An. Although the evidence that Lord An mixed up with the Helan Zhang was given by Xiao Lanzhan, Xiao Lanzhan also had to do a complete set of acting. Lord An was “committed” this time, and it was reasonable for his daughter to be promoted in the palace.
Hanxiang looked uncomfortable when she heard that An Guiren had a position in her life.
“Why did a noble concubine leave and another one come?” Hanxiang was very dissatisfied.
Ling Zhiyan smiled and said, “It’s okay, it’s better if you get used to this kind of thing.”
At this time, Xinlu outside the door reported that it was Guipin An who came in to pay his respects.
“Is this here to demonstrate? I just got the power and became so arrogant. What else can I do in the future?” Hanxiang said with a dark face, looking down on Concubine An.
Ling Zhiyan reminded: “Hanxiang, it’s getting more and more unruly. Come to the pair of jade bracelets in the warehouse.” Then she said to Xinlu, “Take the person in.”
Xinlu nodded and invited someone. Even if Hanxiang didn’t want to, she could only go to the warehouse to pick up things.
When Concubine An came, she was wearing official clothes. When she was promoted to Concubine, her clothes were much more gorgeous. She was also given a palace master’s seat, which was really glorious.
As soon as Concubine An came in, she greeted Ling Zhiyan first. After seeing it, Ling Zhiyan said, “Concubine An doesn’t need so much gift. Today is a good day for Concubine An to be promoted, and there is nothing to give to this palace. This pair of jade bracelets are good, so I just treat it as a gift to Concubine An!” After that, Hanxiang gave the things.
When Concubine An saw that Ling Zhiyan had prepared a gift, she smiled and said, “I dare not do this, the Empress is too polite.” But her eyes were aimed at the bracelet.
Although the An family is from the Censorate, they also know how to be honest. After all, if the Censorate is corrupt, it will be considered to be rotten to the bottom. Therefore, there are very few things that An’s family can take out. The daily expenses of An’s Concubine are distributed according to the palace ritual system, so the things are not much better.
