An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

"Sister, if I like this thousand-layer cake, I will make some tomorrow. Has Chun'er visited Tangli Palace recently? I haven't seen Chun'er for a long time. If she were here, she would definitely eat these All the cakes went into her belly.”

"Hey, sister, teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish. My sister's craftsmanship is really good. How can I be embarrassed to always eat cakes made by my sister? I'll see if I have time one day and go to Yining Palace to follow my sister. Learn the essence of making mille-feuille cake. I have tried it twice before, but unfortunately I didn’t succeed.”

"Before I entered the palace, I followed my mother. I was not treated well by the aunts in the An family since I was a child. The aunt who was the housekeeper in the house always thought of ways to deduct our food rations. As a last resort, my mother would think of ways to make cakes. , it’s just flour mixed with other things, changing patterns in turns. Over time, I learned it after seeing it too much. Now that I’m in the palace, what kind of delicacies can my sister learn? When she wants to eat, she calls. Ju Qing goes to Yining Palace and tells me, I will personally deliver the steaming pastries to your door."

"My sister is interested."

"When I was a child, I was thinking that if I couldn't find a good job when I grew up, I would open a breakfast shop and sell pastries, haha."

"Then sister, do you regret entering the palace?"

"I don't regret it. I came from a poor family. Unlike Sister Wan and Sister Mei, I have suffered a lot since childhood. The only way out is to enter the palace."

"Oh, I have never thought about entering the palace. All this is just following my father's orders. In this life, I wish to have only one heart and never be separated. Unfortunately, I cannot control my fate. Now that I have entered the palace, I will not regret it in the future. Everything If there are gains, there must be losses, and if there are losses, there must be gains. If my sister is able to leave the palace one day, if she goes to open a breakfast shop, I will help her. "

"If you make me laugh, my sister will be favored by the emperor, and she will surely be prosperous and wealthy throughout her life!"

"But who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

Zhen Huan was thinking, and a trace of melancholy came to her eyes. An Lingrong remembered that last night, she heard the news from Qin Sanyue that when Eunuch Su brought the emperor's decree to Tangli Palace, Zhen Huan used her body to hug him. After avoiding the emperor, the emperor must be unhappy in his heart, so last night, the emperor favored Liu Zhu again, which was to show Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan was in a bad mood. An Lingrong chatted with her for a while in Tangli Palace and then returned to Yining Palace.

After dinner, a gray figure flashed in through the ajar door of Yining Palace. Even without looking, An Lingrong knew it was Qin Sanyue.

After all, she is a woman, but she never wears colorful clothes, and only wears plain clothes of grey, white, blue and black.

An Lingrong remembered that he had told her several times, but she said: "My lord, as long as this slave does not disobey my orders, I hope my lord will give me some freedom in this dress."

An Lingrong couldn't say anything more.

Qin Sanyue leaned down and whispered in a low voice: "My young master, please take a closer look. Concubine Wan went to Yimei Garden alone."

"Oh, that's not surprising. Empress Guanbi is in a depressed mood. It's probably because the emperor loves Liu Zhu that she went to Yimei Garden to relax, right?"

"But, my lord, not long after Empress Guanbi entered Yimei Garden, Prince Guo also went to Yimei Garden alone, following the route that Empress Guanbin took. It seems that Prince Guo was deliberately following Concubine Wanbin. The queen’s.”

An Lingrong's eyebrows twitched and she couldn't help but ask: "Then, did Huanbi also follow?"

Suddenly, she reacted quickly again.

"You, you mean Prince Guo is alone?"

"um, yes."

"Go get me a cloak, and we'll also go to Yimei Garden."

Qin Sanyue was a little unhappy. If this was a private meeting, then if they went like this, wouldn't they disturb other people's good things?

An Lingrong looked indifferent to her expression of reluctance. At this time, Liu Zhu was lying in the emperor's arms, very affectionate!

The two of them entered the Plum Blossom Garden. They were still in front of the smooth boulder. The dense plum trees were intricately arranged. The fragrance of plum trees overflowed, making people feel refreshed. Compared with winter plum trees, autumn plum trees are also unique. The beauty is gentle and less arrogant.

An Lingrong listened to the footsteps not far away. She carefully opened the plum branches and looked around. She vaguely saw two figures, one tall and one short, standing opposite each other. Wan Bin was holding a lantern in her hand, reflecting a The ground is full of light and shadow.

She listened carefully with sharp ears. Prince Guo's voice was very soft, but it was very clear to her ears.

"Empress Guanbi, it's all because of my impoliteness that I was able to let Liu Zhu take the position, which hurt my empress. I will apologize to my empress now."

"Prince Guo, what are you doing wrong? Liu Zhu is my personal maid, and it is my honor that the Emperor loves Liu Zhu."

"..." The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

"Do you really feel honored? If you really feel honored, why would you come to Yimei Garden alone at this time, holding a lantern?"

"I like Yimei Garden. I often come here for a walk when I have nothing to do. I also come here when I miss my family. I mostly come here when I am happy or unhappy."

"The first time I met my empress was in the Yimei Garden."

"Are you serious? Is there really such a coincidence?"

"Really, when I first saw the empress, I saw a woman as beautiful as a fairy standing under the plum blossom tree. I was still sighing that this woman must be a fairy who has descended to earth. I didn't expect that she was the emperor's favorite concubine. I still sighed. I clearly remember the image of the empress hanging the hand-cut statue under the plum blossom tree, and the sincere wish she made.”

An Lingrong's heart skipped a beat. If she continued to say these words, she would go beyond the realm of thunder. She suddenly heard other trivial and messy footsteps everywhere. For safety reasons, she coughed lightly.

"Prince Guo, it's getting late. I remember there is something else going on in the palace, so I have to go back to the palace first."

"Wait a minute, Concubine Wan, I have something to show you."

Wan Concubine picked up something from Prince Guo's open palm, a small red hollow portrait, which was exactly the small head cut by Xiao Yunzi for Concubine Wan Concubine.

Guanbi's face turned red and looked particularly charming under the moonlight. She put the little figure into her arms in a panic. She didn't have time to say goodbye to Prince Guo and fled Yimei Garden in a panic.

Hearing the footsteps of King Guojun walking away, An Lingrong and Qin Sanyue squeezed out from the thick plum branches that were still wet with dew.

Fortunately, I coughed in time, otherwise, Prince Guo's next sentence might have been: Concubine Wan, this is the first time I see you, and you are in my heart.

But what's so good about him falling in love with her at first sight? If he's not careful, he could kill two people.
