The Queen has arrived: An Lingrong does not want to fight in the palace after her rebirth

"I thought you were still being petty and didn't want to see me." The emperor drank the Tremella and Lily Porridge in his hand and started chatting with An Lingrong.

"I am unhappy. You were rejected by Concubine Wan just now, and then you came to me. Everyone in the palace is making fun of me, saying that I am a dispensable person. That's why I am angry." An Lingrong looked at the emperor's red and swollen eyes and the blue veins on his forehead. She knew that he was troubled by something, but she didn't ask and just acted like a jealous little girl.

"Then why are you willing to open the door for me tonight?"

An Lingrong said sweetly, "After the emperor came twice, I had already calmed down. But the emperor has been busy, so I can't disturb him. It's cold tonight, and I can't bear to let the emperor freeze."

"You're easy to coax."

This was a hint of something, but An Lingrong pretended not to know. Anyone in the harem who had a little bit of information knew everything about Prince Dun. Zhen Huan had just come out of the Yangxin Palace, so she would not ask about the involvement. She just pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "So the emperor is used to bullying me."

"I have come to you with a gift of apology. If you don't want it, I will leave." The emperor said as he took out a brocade box from his sleeve and slowly opened it. Inside was a hibiscus hairpin inlaid with gold, pearls and gems, which sparkled brightly in the candlelight.

An Lingrong was startled. The hibiscus flower was the excuse she used to visit Concubine Duan at night. She didn't expect the emperor would still remember it. When he was attentive, his affection could melt people, but when he was unfeeling, he could hurt people with just a flip of his hand. Why bother to explore his thoughts at this moment? Just accept it. She put the hairpin on her head lightly:

"I am so happy that Your Majesty still remembers me. I have nothing to offer, so why not give Your Majesty a massage?"

"He's a businessman. Let's go." The emperor hadn't slept well for many days and really wanted to relax. As he said this, he took An Lingrong's hand and walked towards the inner room.

The candlelight in the inner room was bright, and a rex rabbit skin cloak with white brocade embroidered with dark patterns was particularly eye-catching under the light.

The emperor glanced at it casually and said, "This cloak is not your size. When did you get it?"

An Lingrong also seemed to reply casually: "This was given to me by Concubine Nian when I first entered the palace. Concubine Nian is tall, and this cloak is indeed too long for me, so I found it and wanted to give it to Concubine Xia."

The emperor didn't care who Concubine Xia was, but the petition from a few days ago came to his mind again. He said nothing more, but just lay down on the bed in a depressed mood: "I am very tired."

An Lingrong said no more. Concubine Cao came and said that Concubine Nian fell ill due to missing the Emperor and wanted her help with advice all day long. She really had no good ideas, so she came to An Lingrong and asked her for advice. Tonight she completed Concubine Cao's entrustment, and whether it would succeed or not depended on the Emperor.

The emperor lay in her arms and finally remembered why he slept so soundly here. The smell on An Lingrong's body was extremely comfortable. He had secretly smelled this kind of smell on the Empress Dowager when he was a child, and it was difficult to find it again afterwards. Now smelling the nostalgic smell, he finally fell into a deep sleep.

"The Emperor went to Yonghe Palace?" Zhen Huan couldn't believe it. The Emperor accepted all her opinions tonight, which made her think that she could guess the Emperor's thoughts. When the Emperor asked her to go back first, she really thought that he still had government affairs to deal with. How come he went to Yonghe Palace in the blink of an eye?

"Your Majesty, everything has its pros and cons. Concubine Wen is a favored concubine. Your Majesty's gains tonight are far greater than a one-night stand." Jin Xi saw clearly that Zhen Huan's actions tonight were too risky and too capable, making the Emperor temporarily uncomfortable. Naturally, he had to find someone to relieve the pressure, and the always weak Concubine Wen was naturally the Emperor's first choice. However, since his own Majesty could influence the Emperor's heart, she was naturally better.

Zhen Huan thought of the past, her eyes were cold, "Princess Wen is used to retreating in exchange for advancing. Men all like weak women, and the emperor is no exception. But Jinxi, I can't retreat. Chun'er's blood has not yet cooled in my hands. If I still put the emperor first in everything, I won't be so lucky to meet someone who will sacrifice his life for me next time."

"So, Madam, you have to sail against the current and head against the wind."

"Yes, I can't retreat." Zhen Huan murmured to convince herself.

The next day, the emperor recovered very well. He was clear-headed and thought about what happened last night. He suddenly asked:

"Rong'er, have you heard about the uproar in the palace these days?"

An Lingrong suppressed the yawn that was about to come out of her mouth, and tears welled up in her eyes: "What does the emperor mean? I am stupid, please tell me clearly."

Seeing her embarrassment, the emperor stopped asking questions and said, "I have been busy these days. When you have time, please come to the Yangxin Palace and relax for me like before."

An Lingrong nodded and listened, swallowing a yawn that was about to come out of her mouth. This time, she could no longer hold back her tears and they flowed out.

"Forget it, I'm leaving, you can sleep for a while."

An Lingrong nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice. She was really sleepy. She saw that the emperor's muscles were tense and his expression was tired last night. She massaged the emperor almost the whole night, and now she could not hold on any longer.

Half an hour later, Rendong helped An Lingrong up and went to pay her respects to the Queen.

However, today's greetings were extremely simple. The Queen only said a few words in a hurry, and then asked everyone to leave, leaving only Zhen Huan.

As they walked out of the door, Xin Chang muttered, "Since you have something to do, can't you just skip the day of greetings? You have to come here."

Everyone pretended not to hear and went away together.

In the afternoon, the task of persuading Prince Dun's wife was finally accomplished, and the Emperor summoned Zhen Huan to the Yangxin Palace and praised her again.

Three days later, Princess Gongding moved into Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother never stopped twirling her Buddhist beads. She sat upright and accepted the greetings from Princess Gongding. She kept instructing her to live a good life in the palace. The little princess reluctantly agreed.

After lunch that day, the Yikun Palace, which had been deserted for more than half a year, finally became lively again.

The emperor was coming to have dinner, and Concubine Nian was so happy that she kept changing her makeup and clothes in front of the mirror. She was also so anxious that she kept urging the small kitchen to prepare all the dishes that the emperor liked to eat every day.

Finally, he added a lot of spices to the incense burner: "Songzhi, I feel that the smell of Huanyi incense is back."

Songzhi looked at the busy Concubine Nian and cried with joy: "Yes, the emperor has always been deeply in love with you, and he can't bear to see you so sad. You should take a rest first, so that you will be energetic to welcome the emperor when he comes."

After hearing this, Concubine Nian thought it made sense and quickly turned around and leaned back on the couch, her beautiful eyes constantly looking outside the room, and then looking at the time on the Western clock inside the room, wishing that meal time would come right away.

The emperor was homesick and hesitated for a long time along the way, but finally arrived at the Yiku Palace.

When the two met, they were speechless for a while. Concubine Nian was so surprised that she asked:

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
