The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

A month later, the Queen Mother suddenly asked the Queen to come to Shoukang Palace for a visit. The Queen thought at first that she had not done anything recently, and both Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan's pregnancies were fine, so why did the Queen Mother want to see her?

"May the Empress be blessed with good health and happiness."

"Get up."

"Yes."

"And there is another thing I asked you to come here today."

"Your Majesty, please feel free to speak."

"I'm also leaving Huipin's baby in your hands."

When the queen heard this, she opened her mouth but was interrupted by the queen mother: "I believe you can keep these two children."

The Queen opened her mouth but said nothing. Both of them knew very well why the Emperor had few children. The Queen Mother knew the reason clearly.

The queen lowered her head and said, "Since the Queen Mother has ordered this, I dare not refuse. It is the Queen's duty to look after the concubines in the six palaces."

"It's good that you know your responsibilities. If you want to stand firm in your position, you must be firm and flexible, and know when to relax and work hard. You are the empress of the Qing Dynasty and the empress of the Ulanara clan. Your every move will attract the attention of the world and will also affect the honor of your family."

Seeing that the queen did not speak, the queen mother continued: "You are my cousin's daughter. I hope you can preserve the honor of the queen and the honor of the entire Ulanara family."

"Yes."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "You promised well, but I want to ask you, a few days ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a batch of materials to Concubine Rou, what's in it?"

"Empress Dowager..." The Queen was about to say something.

"You are the Empress of the Qing Dynasty. No matter which prince succeeds to the throne, you are the Empress Dowager. If I hadn't stopped you, the consequences would be disastrous. If it weren't for me, do you think you could still stay here when Concubine Hui had a miscarriage? Haven't I given you a warning yet?"

The Queen Mother did not give the Queen a chance to speak: "Huipin and Xin Guiren's pregnancy, and Zhen Guiren's premature birth. If Zhen Guiren had not concealed the time of her pregnancy, I'm afraid her pregnancy would have been ruined. You have done a lot of evil."

"Noble Lady Zhen was born a palace maid, and she used dirty means to ascend to power. How can such a person be worthy of being the biological mother of the prince?"

"What about Concubine Hui? What about Concubine Xin? What excuses do you want to make for yourself?" The empress dowager looked at the people in front of her whom she had personally chosen, and couldn't help but regret that she should not have allowed Chun Yuan to enter the palace in the first place.

The queen also said that everything she did was for the glory of the Ulanara family. She talked about her miserable life and that her child had died young. If she wanted to preserve the glory of the Ulanara family, she had no choice.

"When Concubine Rou was pregnant, don't think I didn't know what you were thinking. In the past, the Fourth Prince was raised alone in the Old Summer Palace, and you could have raised him. Now, although he is being raised by Concubine Jing..."

"Empress Dowager." The Queen interrupted the Queen Mother and slowly raised her head. The cruelty in her eyes made the Queen Mother shudder. The Queen also realized this and quickly lowered her head again: "It was really hard for Concubine Rou to raise three children. She is also a good fertile woman, so it's a good opportunity for her to give birth to more children for the royal family."

The Queen initially set her sights on the Third Prince, after all, he was the Emperor's eldest son, his mother was the daughter of a criminal, and Concubine Qi was stupid and easy to control. But now that she saw An Lingrong's child, she felt that since there were better ones, why bother with a useless one.

An Lingrong had lived two lives, so she naturally knew that in the palace, the concubines would feed their children sedatives in order to prevent their children from being too lively. The princess was okay, especially the prince.

At first, An Lingrong felt sorry for the children and did not give them any sedatives. She just asked them to stay in the palace except for going to the prince's residence to study. Anyway, she was the only one in the Yanx Palace and all the palace maids were replaced by people who were loyal to her. But even so, the Queen still kept an eye on her.

The Queen initially thought that An Lingrong was prone to dystocia because she had multiple pregnancies, and she had started fumigating with moxa at three months old, so she planned to let her die in dystocia and raise the child herself, but she actually gave birth to the child safely. Later, because of the incident between Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua, and because An Lingrong was usually cautious, the child was almost three years old now, and she would be able to remember things if she was older.

"Concubine Rou's child is already two and a half years old."

"The child is still young and can't remember things."

The two stayed in Shoukang Palace until dinner time, and then the queen left.

After the queen left, Aunt Zhuxi said worriedly: "But if the queen mother does this, wouldn't it chill Concubine Rou's heart?"

"If she could stop..." The Queen Mother sighed, holding her forehead and said, "I hope Concubine Rou can also understand me."
