An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

Liu Zhu was favored by the emperor because of her strange fragrance. After one night, Liu Zhu was granted permanent residence and had a separate palace to live in. This made the ladies in the palace envious. Rumors began to spread in the harem. Some people said that Zhen Huan was not interested in the emperor. It’s not true love. They were flirting with Prince Guo in front of the emperor by the lotus pond. Some people say that it was Zhen Huan who recommended Liu Zhu to the emperor and promoted Liu Zhu to replace him. The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds, and so on. There are explanations.

An Lingrong didn't take it seriously in Yining Palace, but Zhen Huan was sitting uneasily in Tangli Palace. Unknowingly, Liu Zhu next to her clung to the emperor, and she jumped from her personal maid to the emperor's. Concubine, she naturally has complicated emotions.

An Lingrong lit incense in Yining Palace. It was a new incense made last night. He tried it today. Qiaoyu couldn't put it down after smelling it. However, as a woman, Qin Sanyue didn't like to apply rouge. Qin Yueyue would avoid smelling anything with a strong scent whenever he tried it.

The little stool who was practicing arm strength with Qin Sanyue under the sycamore tree shouted: "My lord, Ju Qing from Tangli Palace is here."

Qiaoyu welcomed Juqing in. Qiaoyu said respectfully: "Mother Libin is blessed. My young master said he hasn't seen your empress for a long time and would like to invite her to Tangli Palace to reminisce about the past."

An Lingrong calmly swept the burning ashes into a pile, swept them into a special silver plate, and said softly: "Ju Qing, go back first! I still have things on hand to finish. When I'm done, I'll pay a visit to Concubine Wan in person."

An Lingrong's body had a kind of indifference that could repel people thousands of miles away. Her tone was low, light, and extremely gentle.

After hearing this, Ju Qing had no choice but to say: "Okay, then this slave girl will go back and tell my mistress, don't forget Empress Libin, my mistress is waiting for Empress Libin."

Qiaoyu said coldly and expressionlessly: "Humph~~ Little Master, the last time I took Sister Yue Yue to Tangli Palace, I was rejected by Empress Guan Bin. I still remember it fresh in my mind! "My young master, please don't agree to them so quickly, let them have a taste of waiting for someone else. I think this concubine asked my young master to come, mostly for Liu Changzai's sake."

An Lingrong couldn't help but admired: "Qiaoyu, smart, yes, wait two days before talking."

Two days passed in a blink of an eye. An Lingrong took Qiaoyu and carried the newly made corn and sesame cake to visit Zhen Huan in Tangli Palace.

An Lingrong gently knocked on the door of Tangli Palace. Ju Qing trotted over and opened the palace door. With a smile on her face, she took the cakes handed over by Qiaoyu with both hands. The cakes were placed in a basket and covered with white cotton cloth. It was still steaming through a layer of white cotton cloth. It looked like it had just come out of the pot.

"The pastries made by Empress Libin are the best ones I have ever tasted in this palace. Empress Libin's craftsmanship is so good." Ju Qing secretly opened a corner of the white cotton cloth and looked at it again and again.

When An Lingrong walked into the palace, he saw Zhen Huan sitting in the palace, holding needle and thread in her hand and doing embroidery. She smiled slightly at An Lingrong, with extremely complicated emotions flashing in her eyes.

Liu Zhu's successful rise to power was a psychological test for Zhen Huan. Even though she was much better than Liu Zhu, she would inevitably feel disappointed and angry. When she saw An Lingrong coming, she did not get up and was slightly startled. He smiled and said, "Sister An is here. Sit down quickly and let Ju Qing serve tea."

An Lingrong smiled slightly, sat down and said, "Sister, this is for decoration on clothing." What Zhen Huan embroidered was a small frog, all made of green silk thread.

Zhen Huan smiled and said: "Yes, I want to embroider an ornament on Longyue's hat so that it doesn't look so monotonous. I made a hat for her by hand a few days ago. The weather is getting colder. She likes frogs."

An Lingrong lowered his head and took a closer look and said: "Sister, Longyue is quite masculine! Girls all like flowers, butterflies and the like, but she likes frogs, which is a little different. "

Zhen Huan sighed quietly and said straight to the point: "Sister An, I am really happy for Liu Zhu. Liu Zhu had a strange fragrance that day. It must be the spices that my sister prepared for her! Such spices are not I gave it to her."

An Lingrong lowered his head and pretended to look at the embroidery carefully and said casually: "Sister, the spices on Liu Zhu's body were indeed prepared by me for her. This Mingren didn't say anything secretly. Look, a touch of spices on Liu Zhu's body, After climbing up to the emperor, won’t my sister be able to summon me for the sake of Jin Feng’s permanent presence?”

There was no trace of sullenness on An Lingrong's face. She spoke very calmly, and she knew that her words had hit the mark.

Zhen Huan coughed violently, and after finally regaining her breath, she said: "Sister, how come you have used such clever thoughts on your sister? Have you forgotten that you and I, Sister Yumei, the three of us? If you want to push Liu Zhu to the top, I have no objection, but why can't you tell me in advance? Liu Zhu is my personal maid after all."

An Lingrong said calmly: "Sister, I think you misunderstood. Liu Zhu was not recommended to the position by me. I just prepared a spice for Liu Zhu at her invitation. It was in the lotus pond that day that the emperor noticed When it comes to her, it seems that it’s not because of the fragrance on her body, I don’t know the reason, but she is attracted by the emperor. This is probably just her luck! "

Zhen Huan said softly "Oh" and stopped talking.

An Lingrong persuaded: "Liu Zhu is my sister's personal maid. She moved out of Tangli Palace overnight and is no longer with her. My sister must not be used to it. When she is not used to it, don't I still be there?" , Sister, you can talk to me if you have anything. By the way, I heard that my sister is hiding from the emperor. Why? You must be more open-minded."

Zhen Huan sighed: "I don't know why, since Liu Zhu left, I don't want to compete for those vain honors anymore. I just want to be alone and choose a more restrained way to soothe myself. Well, firstly, you can improve your cultivation and taste, and secondly, you can pay more attention to your own heart. The emperor's favor is a life-saving sword and a head-killing sword. It is more important to care for yourself. "

An Lingrong silently helped Zhen Huan on the sidelines, nodding frequently and saying: "Sister is right, there will always be times when people around you can't be kept. Huanbi married into the Prince of Guo County before, so my sister must have been disappointed too. It's been a while, but fortunately, Liu Zhu is with her, and now Liu Zhu is favored by the emperor. My sister should be happy for them. My sister usually takes care of them. One of them has become a princess, and the other has become a princess. Chang Zai, aren’t these the people around my sister? If my sister needs their help, will they turn them away?”

An Lingrong deliberately emphasized the words "keep out".
