An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

The Queen actually came to Yining Palace in person to find An Lingrong, but no matter how hard and soft the Queen tried, An Lingrong just shook her head gently, and her originally soft eyes looked more firm and decisive at the moment. She didn't want to diagnose and treat the queen. How could she treat her enemy who had killed her in her previous life, and help her enemy give birth to a child? An Lingrong reiterated his old words and suggested that the queen adopt another person's children into her own name, even if they were the noble Princess Wen Yi.

"Empress, I know your thoughts, and you want to spread your descendants for the Emperor." Although An Lingrong's voice was soft, every word was full of power, "However, I think that although The Empress can take under her banner the children of other concubines who are willing to adopt their children to you, but the relationship between the children and their mother is irreplaceable. It may break the hearts of the biological mothers, and it may also cause the adopted children to have doubts due to the change in their status.”

After hearing her words, the queen frowned slightly, with displeasure on her face. An Lingrong did not intend to look at her face at all, and continued: "Actually, the Queen can enhance the continuation of the royal bloodline through other methods. For example, she can encourage the concubines to be more active in reproducing offspring for the royal family. , or set up some reward system to encourage them to continue to have children for the royal family. This can not only ensure the purity of the royal bloodline, but also maintain the harmony and stability of the harem. In fact, there is only one queen in the world, so why should the queen care about all this? All the concubines and their children must be called queen and concubine! They can all be regarded as your biological children!"

After listening to An Lingrong's suggestion, the queen's eyes flashed with surprise. She re-examined this usually inconspicuous concubine, and the queen nodded slightly to express her approval of An Lingrong, because the queen had no way to refute.

"What you say makes sense, and I will consider it carefully," the queen said. "However, you still have to remember that as a member of the royal family, your responsibilities and obligations are irreplaceable. I hope you can create a happy life for the royal family." Give birth to more heirs." After a few polite words, the queen prepared to leave Yining Palace.

An Lingrong bowed his head respectfully and saluted, indicating that he accepted the order. She knew that as long as she refused the queen's proposal, the queen would definitely think of other ideas, such as adopting the sons of other concubines to herself, etc. But she didn't know which elder brother or princess in the harem the queen would like?

A few days later, the queen followed the planned plan and asked the emperor to raise Princess Wen Yi under her banner. The queen brought Princess Wen Yi into Jingren Palace and specially decorated Jingren Palace. , the renovated Jingren Palace is splendid, every part reveals nobility and magnificence, which is dizzying for the eyes. The carved doors and windows, the screens inlaid with gems, and the ingenious furnishings all demonstrate the noble status of the queen.

However, although the queen was full of confidence and waited for Princess Wen Yi to throw herself into her arms, the development of things was beyond her expectation. Princess Wen Yi is young and delicate, but she shows amazing wisdom and unique side. At a young age, she was not interested in the gorgeously decorated Jingren Palace. After all, she had stayed in Jingren Palace before. She preferred to see a gentle and pleasant face. Compared to the majesty of the queen, who was always dark. She couldn't even smile with a face.

At first, the queen tried to win over Princess Wen Yi with sweet words, hoping to quickly establish a good parent-child relationship with her. She gently stroked Princess Wen Yi's head and said in an extremely gentle voice: "Princess Wen Yi, you are a good child. When you came to Jingren Palace in the past, the mother-in-law thought you were very obedient. Now you have grown up." Gao has grown up a lot, so he will naturally listen to his mother and concubine more. "

However, Princess Wen Yi smiled slightly and said: "Empress, I only have one concubine. My concubine is Empress Xiangbin. From now on, I can only call you Imperial Concubine. Even if I live with the Empress in the future, I There is still only one mother-in-law.”

When the queen saw the kind words and talked to Wen Yi, she still didn't give her any face. She couldn't help but feel very angry. She immediately changed her face, then another face, and started to teach Wen Yi with a stern tone. Princess Yi. She frowned and said loudly: "Princess Wen Yi, no matter whether you call me the empress or the mother-in-law, I will have strict requirements on your daily life and study. If you make the slightest mistake, The Queen is never lenient when punishing people, and you’d better not drink the wine as a punishment! Do you understand what I said?”

Princess Wen Yi has been a master who is not afraid of trouble since she was a child. She was not afraid at all, straightened her chest, and replied firmly but with disdain: "The Emperor, I know you are the queen, but I will not because of the Emperor's I will obey you in everything regarding my identity. If Wen Yi has done something wrong, then he is willing to accept the punishment. If Wen Yi is not wrong, the Emperor will not punish him unreasonably. "

The queen looked at the little person in front of her who was gradually growing up and becoming autonomous, and then looked at the still young Honghui next to her. A feeling of powerlessness emerged on her face. She could not fully control such a small princess. , she felt a little depressed and lost.

The reason why Concubine Xiang was willing to let Wen Yi be raised by the Queen was because she had already guessed that with Wen Yi's current wisdom, it would be a thankless and laborious task for the Queen to control her.

In Junhui Palace, Imperial Physician Wen checked for Ping'an pulse on Concubine Hui every day, then went to Tangli Palace to perform Ping'an pulse on Concubine Wan, then went to Yining Palace to perform Ping'an pulse on Concubine An Lingrong, etc. In the past, Imperial Physician Wen could People who don’t come to Yining Palace to take pulse, for some reason, now have to come to Yining Palace every day.

According to Dr. Wen, the network of relationships that the Queen has woven through years of hard work is huge and tight. This network not only involves important ministers in the court, but also extends to every corner of the harem. Many seemingly inconspicuous maids and eunuchs, All are under the authoritative control of the Queen.

An Lingrong was secretly frightened when she heard that she couldn't help but suspect that the emperor was interested in deposing the queen. This was probably due to this reason. The queen was too powerful. Even the imperial guards had her minions. Important ministers in the court, most of the harem concubines, etc. Zhongdu had been spying on the queen, but now it seems that his previous understanding was still too naive.

Just after Concubine Xiang adopted Princess Wen Yi to the queen, the emperor suddenly announced a shocking news - he adopted Concubine Qi's third elder brother to the queen. This was a mixed blessing for Concubine Qi. It is definitely more promising to follow the queen than to follow her. However, with the adoption of the third elder brother, there will be fewer opportunities to meet the third elder brother in the future. Compared with Honghui in the queen's palace, the third elder brother has a higher status. Be more noble.

On the surface, Honghui is the queen's child, but in fact it is the child of a mute slave girl in the palace and the emperor. It is just that the queen secretly took it as her own and claimed to be her child.
