An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

October 2nd was the full moon feast of the 16th Prince. The Emperor personally gave the name of the 16th Prince - "Honghui".

When Honghui was born, his mother died and he was not the Queen's biological son, but the Queen treated him better than her own son.

As soon as she heard Honghui's cry, the queen threw away the jade Ruyi in her hand in panic, and hurriedly took the child from her grandma's hands, hugging him in her arms, humming and rocking his body, her eyes full of love.

The location where the queen's feet are located is called "Qingli Garden". This royal garden is usually closed. Today, the dignitaries of the capital and the royal family gathered together with great momentum.

The clear water is picturesque, and the lake where the flower boat shuttles is called Bishui Lake.

The boat was full of guests, singing and dancing, making it very lively.

The right side of Bishui Lake is full of antique hexagonal pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and the scenery is pleasant.

There are squares, courtyards, red caves, green grasslands, rockeries, and pavilions.

The largest palace in Qingli Garden is called "Tianhui Tower".

Tianhui Tower was packed with people. The Queen was standing on the main seat in the center of the hall, holding Honghui in her arms.

Honghui has become the focus of everyone's attention since the day he was born. On the day of the full moon ceremony, the weather was surprisingly good. The wet land that had been soaked by the rain the day before had dried up early this morning. It was a sunny day with a gentle breeze. Hot or cold.

The queen had high hopes for Honghui. She was eager to make him the prince and inherit the throne.

The concubines in the harem have their own thoughts and expressions.

Shen Meizhuang also picked up his son back to the palace yesterday. His fourteenth elder brother, whose nickname is Hong Shou, was born on April 25 and whose nickname is Wang Zongguang.

Hong Shou also looks very similar to the emperor, with eyes and ears like Shen Meizhuang, and a gentle and elegant personality.

An Lingrong thought of Saturday Blessing and couldn't help but want to hug Hongshou. The queen only saw him once at Hongshou's full moon banquet. Later, for Hongshou's safety, the emperor took him to Tonghua Terrace and Yusha Palace and handed him over. Concubine Chen and Concubine Shu raised her together.

Hong Shou holds a bunch of red windmills in his hands. The leaves are made of red paper and spin when encountering the wind. They are very beautiful.

An Lingrong placed a gentle kiss on his forehead and said, "Brother Fourteen, can you let An Niang Niang play with your string of red pinwheels for a while? An Niang Niang will give you a rabbit candy in exchange."

Hongshou, who was almost three years old, shook his head gently and said, "Ms. An, this string of windmills is for Brother Sixteen. He is celebrating his birthday today and cannot give it to An."

An Lingrong said with a smile: "Hongshou is really sensible. Then Hongshou will go with Madam An to meet Brother Sixteen."

Hongshou was innocent and childlike, and immediately got off the stool, letting An Lingrong hold his hand, and skipped to the front hall. Afterwards, Shenmeizhuang, Zhen Huan held Long Yue, who was almost two months old, and Xia Ruchun held Little Chunchun, who was almost two years old, and Chungui held Bao'er, who was one and a half years old, followed by palace maids and eunuchs, and the group moved forward in a mighty manner.

The Queen Mother, supported by Aunt Fangruo and Aunt Zhuxi, sat next to the emperor. She looked at the scene happily and said, "The Ai family is really satisfied. Look, since Li Bin entered the palace, the number of people in the harem has changed." There will be more and more heirs, and the Ai family will no longer have to worry."

Aunt Fangruo responded to the Queen Mother and stood aside quietly, watching the bustling crowd quietly.

"Come here, Hong Shou, Long Yue, come to the Imperial Grandmother. Oh, Hong Shou has grown taller again. Come and give the Imperial Grandmother a hug." The Queen Mother smiled so brightly that her face was filled with wrinkles. .

"Imperial Grandmother is lucky. This windmill is for Brother Sixteen. Imperial Grandmother can't snatch it away! Return it to me quickly!" Although Hongshou is young, he is very articulate.

The Queen Mother grabbed the windmill and raised it high. When Hongshou saw that the Queen Mother would not give it to him, he became anxious. He climbed on the Queen Mother's shoulders and sat on the Queen Mother's lap. The Queen Mother happily handed over the windmill to him. In his hands, his hands circled him and held him in his arms, doting on him.

The Queen winked at the side, and Aunt Jianqiu went over and said: "Ms. Hui Bin, the Queen Mother's health is not good. Don't let the fifteenth brother harm the Queen Mother. Keep an eye on her."

Shen Meizhuang's face suddenly changed. She took a step forward and hugged her fifteenth brother down. The Queen Mother immediately changed her face and said, "Let Aijia play with him for a while longer. This is because I saw you pregnant in ten months." I personally raised the child I gave birth to, and tonight Aijia will take him back to Shoukang Palace to sleep, and let her hammer Aijia’s back and recite poems.”

The queen glanced at Shenmeizhuang coldly, her eyes full of displeasure, but she had no choice but to let the Queen Mother hold the fifteenth brother. The windmill that the fifteenth brother originally wanted to give to the sixteenth brother also fell behind the queen mother. In their hands, an old man and a young man were having fun, so happy that they seemed to have forgotten that this was the Queen's birthday.

An Lingrong gave the sixteenth brother a set of homemade cotton clothes and trousers, Shen Meizhuang gave two strings of silver jewelry to wear on his hands, Zhen Huan gave a warm cotton vest and scarf, all homemade, and there were many other royal relatives and nobles. The queen ordered Jiang Fuhai to register all gifts of treasures. An Lingrong carefully looked at them. The queen didn't even look at anything related to food and clothing expenses. She ordered Jiang Fuhai to seal the boxes and move them away.

Just as the guests were seated one after another, there was a sudden scream. An Lingrong looked at the sound and looked over. Wasn't that Xi Changzai who had just entered the palace not long ago?

Xi Chang Zai, named "Xi Min of the Sochu Luo family", was originally selected by the emperor as a noble person when he entered the palace. Later, the queen recommended "Shu Min of the Nala family" in front of the emperor. The emperor did not ask the reason in detail. In order to In order to deal with the queen, she was replaced by "Nala Shumin" and became a noble person.

And this "Suochuo Luo Shi Ximin" volunteered to go to the laundry. The laundry is a place that can train people and experience it. Later, she met Zhou Ninghai, and she was quite scheming and successfully connected Xiang through Zhou Ninghai. The concubine, under the arrangement of the concubine Xiang, was favored by the emperor and was granted the title of "Chang Zai".

Xi Changzai overturned the tea cup in front of him and said in shock: "This is poisonous. Look, look quickly."

An Lingrong quickly stepped forward and took a closer look. He saw that the tea on the table turned dark red, while the other teas on the table were all light green.

Concubine Xiang asked in confusion: "Xichang Zai, what are you doing? The tea in this palace usually has green tea and black tea. What's all the fuss about this."

Xi Changzai shook his head violently and said: "No... Madam Xiangbin, the cup of tea in front of me just now is light green, exactly the same as other teas, except that something fell into it from my armor just now. , and it turned into deep red.”

An Lingrong whispered: "Xi Changzai, please stretch out your armor and show me."

All the concubines in the palace like to wear armor, and the armor that Xi Changzai wears is worn by Xiang Concubine. Because Wen Yi clamored for her to hug her, Xiang Concubine took off the armor and let her hug her. Xi Changzai helped her hold it.

I often put it on my finger when it was fun.
