An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

The next day, the emperor was busy with official duties in the Qinzheng Palace. An Lingrong was serving tea and water, waiting for the pen and ink.

The tea is ordinary tea newly produced in Yuanmingyuan, and the pastry is crispy peanut cake that ordinary people can eat. Today's breakfast was specially prepared by her. It was a simple four dishes and one soup, but it made the emperor burst into tears. , then he told her that she could come in and out freely when she came to the Qinzheng Palace.

During breakfast, the emperor saw the simple four dishes and one soup. He paused with the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Mr. An, this reminds me of a scene from my childhood."

An Lingrong put a piece of foie gras into the emperor's bowl and said: "Your Majesty, try this. This foie gras is fragrant and tender. Your Majesty works hard for the country and the people, and is worried about the country and the people. His complexion is yellow, so take good care of it." liver."

The emperor took a small sip and praised him profusely: "An Gui's craftsmanship is really good. I have never tasted such smooth and tender foie gras. On weekdays, she doesn't allow me to eat this or that in the queen's palace." I can only eat things that are good for my health. The taste of Hua Fei is too strong. The hot pepper makes me cry. She also said that it is very enjoyable. The food cooked by An Guiren reminds me of the taste of my mother and concubine when I was a child. .”

An Lingrong smiled and said: "How can my concubine's craftsmanship be compared with that of the Queen Mother? As long as the emperor doesn't dislike her."

The emperor pulled a large bowl of rice and asked An Lingrong to fill another bowl and said: "I have two mothers and concubines. I am not talking about the current queen mother, but my adoptive mother. She is a person with an extremely gentle temperament. Unlike my biological mother.”

An Lingrong said softly and stopped inquiring into the emperor's private affairs. If he was deeply in love, he would tell her if he wanted to. It would be rude to inquire rashly.

The emperor really stopped talking. After eating a meal, he frowned and said that after he finished approving the memorial, he would take the concubines to enjoy the garden.

After a while, I heard Eunuch Su outside the door coming to announce: "Your Majesty, this is a good report from General Nian."

The emperor's brows were filled with joy: "Open it quickly and take a look."

Eunuch Su opened it and handed it to the emperor. The emperor looked at it, patted his thigh, and said to An Lingrong: "My lord An, Nian Gengyao has won the battle. I really don't underestimate him."

An Lingrong said softly: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."

The emperor lowered his eyebrows and said, "Su Peisheng, go to the Taihang Mountains and call Concubine Hua to the Old Summer Palace. For the time being, ask her not to practice with her hair on."

An Lingrong's expression was stern. She did not expect that Concubine Hua would turn over so soon. Her hand holding the tea cup tightened, and the hot tea made her hurt.

Concubine Hua is indeed back. She is different from the past. She is wearing a plain gray robe. Her hair is not decorated in any way. It is tied loosely behind her head. A few pieces of hair hang down, making her look even more graceful and charming. Charming, especially among all the red and green figures.

The anger in Concubine Hua's eyes had subsided a lot, and she said affectionately to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I have been to Taihang Mountain for some time to sincerely repent. I haven't seen the Emperor for many days, and I even want to lose weight because of the Emperor."

The emperor said gently: "Thanks to Nian Gengyao for winning the battle, you are able to come to the Old Summer Palace to see me. You can live in Linchuan Hall for the time being."

An Lingrong was startled. The Linchuan Hall was adjacent to the Qinzheng Hall where the emperor handled court affairs. I am afraid that the emperor was not only caring for Concubine Hua because of Nian Gengyao's outstanding military achievements, but also because he missed his old feelings. No matter how arrogant and domineering Concubine Hua was, He was so arrogant that he wanted to assassinate Hui Guiren and the emperor's heir, but he could still forgive her.

Concubine Hua had the motive to kill, but the emperor saved her in time and did not cause the big mistake of killing the nine clans. The emperor also needed their Nian family.

The emperor took a group of concubines to visit the garden, and Cao Guiren, Li concubine, and Kang Changzai followed closely behind.

Su Peisheng introduced it as he walked: "This is a large royal garden. Young masters, please take a look at this map."

Hui Wanren said to An Lingrong and Wan Guiren: "Why does this map look like a pin character?"

Su Peisheng nodded and bowed in agreement: "Yes, what Mr. Hui Gui said is absolutely true."

Concubine Hua said calmly: "Eunuch Su, this doesn't look like the character Pin. I look like the character Lu, so talkative."

Su Peisheng smiled awkwardly and said, "What Concubine Hua said is that it's all the slaves' talkativeness. Please, all my young masters, follow the Emperor closely and don't fall behind."

Su Peisheng said: "Old Summer Palace consists of three gardens: Old Summer Palace, Changchun Garden, and Qichun Garden. There are mountains, water, flowers, birds, trees, and..."

Concubine Hua glared at Su Peisheng and walked to another road.

The emperor said: "Do you know the name of this park and the origin of the two characters Yuanming?"

Concubine Hua said: "Your Majesty, round means perfection, and bright means bright rule." The emperor nodded.

Zhen Huan said: "The merits are complete and the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are the emperor's hope." The emperor glanced at Wan Guiren with approval.

An Lingrong added: "Yuanming is the Buddhist name used by the emperor when he was young. The emperor believed in Buddhism and was named Yuanming layman. He studied Buddhism deeply. This garden by the late emperor was given to the emperor and was specially designed for him. I am determined, and I also hope that the emperor will work hard to govern."

The emperor was surprised and surprised. He looked at An Lingrong with admiration. An Lingrong bowed slightly and responded humbly.

The emperor said: "People in Angui know a lot. They even know my Buddhist name. Anbi Huai teaches me better."

Why should my father teach me? I came prepared, but I just checked the information in advance.

An Lingrong looked around, seeing towering ancient trees, lakes, bridges, gardens and rockeries, and countless treasures.

Already accustomed to this, she stopped at the fountain.

The fountain is very spectacular. It looks like a stone niche like a doorway. Below it is a big lion with seven layers of water curtains.

There is an oval chrysanthemum-shaped fountain at the front and bottom. There is a large square water fountain tower on the left and right sides, with a total of thirteen floors. Water jets are sprayed from the top. Eighty-eight copper pipes are arranged around the tower, spraying water together, all open. Such as a flash flood.

An Lingrong walked closer and could no longer hear Su Peisheng's voice, the sound of water flowing, and the sound of thunder.

Lotus Pond, Ten Thousand Flower Array, Bird Cage, Square Outside, Haitang Hall, Yuanying Temple, Dashui Method, Water Viewing Method, Line Method Wall...

His ears gradually became quiet, and An Lingrong was about to follow the group to the lotus pond when he suddenly heard Shen Meizhuang exclaiming in surprise.

"Oh, what is it?"

"Sister Mei, what's wrong with you?"

"Su Peisheng, please help Huigui to rest against the tree."

A red spot appeared on Hui Guiren's neck. At first it was only the size of a pinhead, but at a second glance, it was as big as a corn kernel.

"Don't move, let me take a look," An Lingrong touched Hui Guiren's finger, and something black fell from between his fingers. Hui Guiren's scream was deafening: "What kind of insect? Ah~~~~ It's so scary."

"Don't be afraid, you've already pinched me to death." An Lingrong said.

Concubine Hua looked at Hui Guiren with a playful look on her face, taking pleasure in others' misfortune.

An Lingrong picked it up and saw that it was a female spider. It was very small. She had just bred recently. The body length was no more than five millimeters. The eyes were slightly retracted. The carapace and appendages were yellow-white. The abdomen was triangular and conical. It was not weakly venomous. .

An Lingrong quickly told the emperor that the emperor Xuan Wen Shichu came to check Hui Guiren. When Wen Shichu arrived, Hui Guiren was exhausted and fell crookedly into Wan Guiren's arms.

The emperor was anxious, and the group had no intention of enjoying the scenery anymore, so they dispersed and returned to the palace.

An Lingrong thought, there is no reason why this kind of female spider, which grows in the wetlands of the south and is not afraid of heat but afraid of cold, appears in the dry season of the north?
