An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

"My lord, my brother has replied." Qin Sanyue strode into Bitong Academy and handed over a letter.

Qin Sanyue's father, Qin Ziqiang, supports the matter of entering the palace. He said that if one more person enters the palace, there will be more care.

His son Qin Xiaofeng is in his thirties and nearly forty years old. He is experienced, steady and able to endure hardships.

His daughter Qin Lihua is in her early thirties. She is careful, patient, perseverant, and has a flexible and steady mind.

Whether it was a son or a daughter, he said, it depends on An Lingrong's opinion.

An Lingrong thought for a while and asked Qin Sanyue: "Qin Sanyue, do you have a better relationship with your brother on weekdays? Or do you have a better relationship with your sister?"

Qin Sanyue frowned slightly and said, "Well, it's not good to go back to the young master. The two of them attach great importance to money."

An Lingrong frowned secretly. The most important thing she wanted from someone was loyalty, followed by ability.

An Lingrong asked sideways: "Your sister Qin Lihua is not yet married when she is thirty. Your brother is nearly forty and has two sons. He has to support his family. It is understandable that money is important."

An Lingrong said in a calm voice: "For your brother, which one is more important, the money or the son?"

Qin Sanyue blurted out without hesitation: "Back to my little master, my son is important. He said that everything he has done so hard is for his son."

An Lingrong smiled and said, "This is reasonable."

An Lingrong asked Qin Yuyue to learn more about Qin Xiaofeng's growing up experience, hobbies, etc. She also combined it with everything Lingrou had seen in the clothing store for so long. Qin Xiaofeng was considered a very rigorous and calculating person. , does not have any adventurous spirit, is a relatively conservative person, and enjoys family happiness with a wife and children around his knees. The more money, the better, but he is not a greedy person.

Soon, An Lingrong and Qin Ziqiang reached an agreement and decided to choose a suitable time for Qin Xiaofeng to enter the palace.

During this period, the emperor often announced that as soon as Hui Gui and her entered the Qinzheng Palace, the one whom Hui Gui wanted most from the emperor was the fourteenth elder brother. However, since he could not see the fourteenth elder brother, he would inevitably sigh, which would affect the emperor's mood. The emperor simply asked Hui Guiren to stay in his palace more. He would visit her more when he had time, and told her to stop running to Qinzheng Palace.

An Lingrong took the newly made strawberry pastry to the Qinzheng Hall to find the emperor. He was about to mention to him about Qin Sanyue's brother, Qin Xiaofeng, when he put down the pastry and saw the emperor bending over the desk to review the papers non-stop. The emperor He is indeed a very diligent person, and he has endless reviews. When he heard the footsteps, without raising his head, he asked: "Mr. Angui, are you here?!"

An Lingrong paused and said softly: "Didn't the concubine disturb the emperor? The emperor didn't even raise his head, how could he know it was a concubine?"

There was a trace of silk on the emperor's face and he said softly: "Mr. An, don't worry, I smell a special fragrance. Whenever An Gui comes, he will definitely bring me something to eat. The other concubines are covered in food when they come. The only thing Angui people bring when they come to my palace is fireworks."

An Lingrong smiled softly, took out the strawberry cake and placed it on the desk on the emperor's right side, and said, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard. Why don't you take a break and eat a strawberry cake to relax."

The emperor rubbed the knuckles of his hands, intertwined his fingers, turned them around twice to relax, picked up a piece of cake that melted in his mouth, and praised: "Yes, anything in your hands can turn into a miracle, I I don’t usually eat strawberries, but I didn’t expect this strawberry cake to taste so good.”

An Lingrong turned around and walked behind the emperor, starting from his shoulders and neck, all the way to his back, and down to his waist, and carefully beat him lightly, until all the muscles in his body became loose.

The emperor shook his head slightly and said: "Well, it will be much more comfortable if you press it like this."

An Lingrong put her hand lightly and said, "Your Majesty, after I went back last time, I carefully remembered the Emperor's instructions and wanted to recommend someone to the Emperor."

The emperor said attentively: "Well, okay, is it a boy or a girl, and what is your age?"

An Lingrong said thoughtfully: "Yes..."

Outside the door, Su Peisheng pushed open the door and walked in. He was so nervous that he was sweating profusely and didn't bother to knock on the door. His hand was still half on the door, with a panic look on his face.

The emperor asked: "Su Peisheng, what's wrong with you?"

Su Peisheng took a breath and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong, something happened to Princess Wen Yi?"

An Lingrong's head swayed slightly for a while. She retracted her hand and urged: "Your Majesty, go and have a look!"

Then he asked Su Peisheng: "Eunuch Su, what's wrong with Princess Wen Yi?"

The emperor put down the half-eaten pastry in his hand, stood up, looked solemn, and walked out without saying a word.

An Lingrong followed closely, and Su Peisheng followed closely behind An Lingrong, hurried all the way to Fanying Pavilion where Cao Guiren lived.

The design of Fanying Pavilion is simple and simple, with a strong classical artistic atmosphere. It is surrounded by green bamboos, surrounded by birds and flowers, and has antique furniture, giving it a feeling of tranquility over time.

It was eerily quiet outside Fanying Pavilion. Apart from the occasional chirping of insects and birds, there was almost no other sound.

"The Emperor has arrived!" Su Peisheng pushed open the door of Fanying Pavilion, and Cao Guiren's mournful cries came from inside.

It turns out that the sound insulation effect of the main door of Fanying Pavilion is particularly good, and there is almost no abnormal sound from outside.

An Lingrong's heart seemed to be tightened by something, which made her breathless. Su Peisheng's face turned pale, and the emperor pushed Su Peisheng away.

I saw Cao Guiren crying so much that she almost fainted. Half of her body fell on the chair, and the other half of her body was dragged limply on the ground. The skin on her face was red from crying, while Princess Wen Yi who was holding her arms had a look on her face. dull.

Wen Yi looked at Cao Guiren blankly, then raised her eyes to look at the emperor. She didn't feel panic at all, and slapped her little hand on Cao Guiren's back, as if to comfort Cao Guiren.

When Concubine Li saw the emperor, she quickly supported Cao Guiren and saluted the emperor. The maids and servants next to her knelt down.

Baojuan lowered his head and couldn't see any expression on his face. His face was almost touching the ground.

The emperor shouted: "Mr. Cao, what's wrong with you? Don't scare my Princess Wen Yi. Come on, Wen Yi, come to me."

The emperor turned his head and stroked the top of Princess Wen Yi's hair, gently dragged her across her body, held her in his arms and said, "Tell your father, what's wrong with Wen Yi?"

Duke Wen Yi opened his mouth and hesitated to speak, but no words came out.

Su Peisheng coaxed in a low voice: "Princess Wen Yi, do you feel uncomfortable somewhere? Who bullied you? Tell the emperor, and the emperor will make the decision for you."

Wen Yi suddenly opened his mouth wide, and tears poured out continuously like pearls.

But not a single sound came out. Cao Guiren came over and lay down at the emperor's feet, crying out of breath and said: "Your Majesty, Princess Wen Yi doesn't know... I don't know what happened. No matter how the concubine talks to her, she He just didn’t say a word, he just... couldn’t say a word, what’s wrong with this child?”

Obviously, Cao Guiren's sudden high-pitched voice frightened Princess Wen Yi. Wen Yi stared at the emperor with wide eyes in horror. The emperor's eyes moved and he hugged her tightly: "Su Peisheng, go and tell the imperial doctor to come and examine Wen Yi." , go quickly. Mr. An Gui, come and see what's going on with Wen Yi first."

An Lingrong took Wen Yi out of the emperor's arms and responded: "Your Majesty, okay, I will check Wen Yi's body right now."
