The Return of An Lingrong in Legend of Zhen Huan

The weather is getting warmer in June and July, and this year's summer seems to have come especially early.

Just like in his previous life, the emperor went to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat, bringing Concubine Jing and Concubine Duan with him, as well as the princes and princesses and their biological mothers. Needless to say, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were the favored ones. In this life, An Lingrong was not only favored but also pregnant, so naturally she went with them as well.

Concubine Hua was just like she was in her previous life. Concubine Cao took a hairpin to tease Wen Yi, and the Emperor waved his hand and let Concubine Hua go to the Old Summer Palace as well.

Similar to the previous life, the Queen lived in Taohuawu, Zhen Huan lived in Bitong Academy, Shen Meiyu lived in Xianyue Pavilion, and Concubine Hua lived in Qingliang Palace. The only difference was that An Lingrong did not live in Fanying Pavilion as in the previous life, but was arranged to live in Luxiangzhai.

This surprised An Lingrong. Luxiangzhai was close to the emperor. According to Shen Meizhuang, An Lingrong's residence was specially ordered by the emperor.

An Lingrong was a little bit incredulous at first. After all, since Zhen Huan became favored, the emperor had gone from coming every day to only eight or nine times a month. Now he specially arranged for her to come so close, which really surprised her.

An Lingrong touched her almost seven-month-old belly and thought, after her offensive over the past few months, the emperor would at least no longer treat her as a toy like he did in her previous life. Now it seemed that she had some weight in the emperor's heart.

Then she looked at her belly worriedly. If these were really twins of the same sex, she just hoped she could save both of these poor children.

Since she became pregnant, she has been going to Suiyuxuan quite often. She has finished studying the Four Books now. Zhen Huan is also looking forward to having a child. When the time comes, the emperor will show his love and Zhen Huan will plead for her. An Lingrong touched her belly and said: Don't worry, kids. Mother will not let anything happen to you.

In about a month, An Bihuai will be thrown into jail because of the Northwest grain issue. Before An Lingrong entered the palace, she wrote a letter to warn An Bihuai. After entering the palace, if any letter from the harem is to be sent out, it must be reviewed by the emperor.

An Lingrong could only express her feelings of missing her father and mother in the letter, but in fact, the letter was implicitly criticizing An Bihuai. Others might not be able to see it, but An Bihuai could definitely see it. She only hoped that her good father would not cause trouble for her in this life.

As An Lingrong was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to travel, the Emperor specifically allowed An Lingrong to travel slowly. So An Lingrong waited until all the other concubines had left before she slowly packed up and set off. She arrived at the Old Summer Palace three or four days later than the others.

After arriving, he learned from Zhen Huan who came to greet him that Shen Meizhuang was pregnant.

An Lingrong was stunned for a moment, and then she thought that it was indeed at this time that Shen Meizhuang was framed by Concubine Hua for a fake pregnancy. An Lingrong thought about it and decided not to help the two of them.

Firstly, she was upset about what happened to Yu last time; secondly, she was about to give birth. If Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu were hurt, the emperor would definitely come to see her and take the opportunity to gain some favor for the child.

After Zhen Huan accompanied An Lingrong to settle down, she went to pay respects to the Emperor and Empress, and finally came to Shen Meizhuang's Xianyue Pavilion with Zhen Huan. "Oh, sit down, sit down. You must be exhausted from the journey. I'm pregnant and it's not convenient for me to pick you up. Fortunately, Huan'er is here."

Shen Meizhuang was guarding the door. When she saw An Lingrong coming, she quickly invited her in and considerately placed a cushion on the stool. An Lingrong was already exhausted from having rushed all the way here, so she sat down and drank a cup of brewed tea.

"When I came, I saw only Sister Wan, and I thought Sister Mei was too busy with palace affairs to have time. I never thought that Sister Mei was pregnant. Congratulations to Sister Mei for making her wish come true."

Shen Meizhuang has wanted a child for a long time. Ever since An Lingrong became pregnant, Shen Meizhuang has been extremely envious, and now she is pregnant too.

Shen Meizhuang touched her belly and said lovingly: "When the baby is born, the two children will be less than a year apart in age, so they will have a companion."

An Lingrong smiled and said, "Yes, and I heard from Sister Zhen that the Emperor gave you the character 'Hui', so you are now the Concubine Hui."

Shen Meizhuang nodded and said, "Yes, the three of us are now equal. Rong'er is not allowed to bow to us when he sees us in the future."

"Pingli is fine. Besides, it would be bad if someone caught him." Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan looked at each other and said helplessly to An Lingrong: "You are the most cautious, so let's do as you say."

After that, they chatted for a while, during which Shen Meizhuang showed An Lingrong the prescription. An Lingrong knew how to make perfume, and she also asked Wei Lin and Bao Yu for advice from time to time in her life, so she now has some knowledge of medicine. An Lingrong took the prescription and found out that it was actually a prescription for delaying menstruation.

I don’t know where the medical book Shen Meizhuang translated came from, I can’t tell.

Afterwards, they chatted for a while and An Lingrong wanted to plan the next step quickly, so she said goodbye to Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, saying that it was getting late and she had to go back to take pregnancy-preserving medicine.
