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

"My lady, Princess Wen Yi has been taken to Concubine Hua's palace!" Rendong's information always comes at a timely moment.

An Lingrong stopped fiddling with the flower dew in her hand and said to Ren Dong thoughtfully, "The Concubine Hua is panicking."

Rendong had heard a lot of things from outside, so she naturally knew that although Shen Meiyu was punished by the emperor, Concubine Wan, who was on good terms with her, was not implicated, but was even more favored. The eunuch Huang Guiquan, who had ignored her a few days ago, was killed by the emperor for a reason. Now, whenever there is something new in the palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send it to the Bitong Academy first, and then to other palaces. It seems that Concubine Hua will not be willing to accept this after being favored for so many years.

An Lingrong gently placed her hand on her belly, where life had once been conceived. Although she was conceived out of calculation, when she felt the first fetal movement, An Lingrong was extremely looking forward to her birth. She even thought countless times that perhaps the prescription given by the Queen still had a glimmer of hope. As long as she waited a little longer, there would always be a new life to meet her. But in the end, it was all in vain. She put her hand down from her belly, put away the flower dew and said to Honeysuckle:

"Let's go see Concubine Duan."

Concubine Duan carefully looked at An Lingrong and asked puzzledly, "You want me to help Concubine Wan when necessary?"

An Lingrong nodded and smiled, "Your Highness, you are very clear-headed and you know what has happened in the palace recently. I just want to make Concubine Cao understand one thing."

Concubine Duan asked suspiciously, "What?"

An Lingrong said sternly, "Let her know that Concubine Hua is unreliable. The women in the palace will use her daughter to scheme for honor and favor. If she wants to give her daughter a stable life, she can only rely on herself."

Concubine Duan couldn't understand it for a moment and continued, "Even if that's the case, she was willing to do it. Cao Qinmo is a cunning person. Many of the evil things that Concubine Hua has done over the years were planned by her. This is a case of evil people being punished by evil people."

An Lingrong hit the nail on the head: "Your Majesty, the child is innocent. You just said that she was the military advisor when Concubine Hua did evil. But if she can be used by us, she will also be a sharp blade to stab Concubine Hua when the time is right."

Concubine Duan was silent for a long time before she spoke: "I still remember when Princess Wen Yi was one month old, she was so small and soft, she was so lovable. At that time, I was particularly envious of Concubine Cao's blessing. I have no hope of having children in this life, but I can't bear to see that child being schemed against. I promise you that if someone uses Princess Wen Yi as a tool to win favor and love, I will definitely help."

After getting a satisfactory answer, An Lingrong asked the question in her mind: "Since the Queen likes Wen Yi, why didn't you attend her first birthday ceremony?"

Concubine Duan smiled and said, "Since ancient times, there has never been a good banquet. I am too lazy to look at the faces of those people, so I just avoid them."

After An Lingrong left, Jixiang couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, why didn't you tell An Changzai directly? Because you already regarded her as an ally, and in order to make her feel at ease and to prevent others from being suspicious, you didn't want to attend Princess Wen Yi's banquet."

Concubine Duan smiled and said, "You think she wouldn't know if I didn't tell her. This person is very thoughtful and can see through things and people's hearts. After she came here tonight, she will naturally understand my intentions."

Jixiang thought for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, are you really not going to form an alliance with anyone else? After all, Concubine Wan is more beautiful and favored than Concubine An."

Concubine Duan waved her hand slightly and explained to Jixiang:

"It is rare for Concubine Wan to have such a beautiful appearance, but do you still remember the rumors before Yu's death? Sometimes there is wind in a hole, because there is really wind blowing in. Before she was favored, there was a storm in the palace, and after she was favored, there were constant storms. If I choose her, I am afraid it will be difficult to have peace in the future. On the contrary, Concubine An has been cautious all the way from entering the palace to now, and she has gained some trust from the emperor. If the time comes, she will help the concubine."

"trust?"

"She doesn't have any family background now, so the emperor is more confident in her and naturally has less guard. That's how he gained trust."

In Qingliang Palace, Princess Wen Yi was suddenly separated from her biological mother and had been crying every night. Although Concubine Hua had never given birth to a child, she loved Wen Yi very much and took care of her personally every night without taking off her clothes. Her eyes were red and her face was haggard. However, the Emperor still did not come to Qingliang Palace again. He just talked about poetry and music with Zhen Huan every day, and even allowed Zhen Huan to go to the study to accompany the emperor at any time, which was an honor that even the Queen did not have.

In a blink of an eye, the Chinese Valentine's Day arrived, and the Jiuzhou Qingyan was filled with singing, dancing and orchestral music.

It just really proves what Concubine Duan said: There is no good banquet.

Zhen Huan's favor has been growing day by day in recent days. Other concubines entered the hall on their own, but she was the only one who was carefully led into the hall by the emperor. The emperor's tightly clasped hands with hers made many people jealous.

After three rounds of drinking, Concubine Qi, relying on her drunken courage, spoke to Zhen Huan in a veiled way: "Lady Wan, you are so lucky. The emperor held your hand alone among so many people. It is really enviable."

Before Zhen Huan could say anything, the emperor sitting at the top of the table was unhappy: "Concubine Qi, I see that the food on your table is quite rich."

When Concubine Qi heard this, she thought the emperor cared about her, and said shyly, "Thank you for your concern, your Majesty. I think it's good too."

The royal family did not expect Concubine Qi to be so stubborn, so they said impatiently: "I mean, even if there is food to eat, it still can't stop you from talking."

Concubine Qi was very upset for a moment, and she quickly raised her wine glass to drink to cover up her embarrassment.

Zhen Huan was naturally happy to hear that the emperor defended her. She raised her eyes and smiled gently at the emperor, her eyes full of gratitude and tenderness. The emperor raised his glass to signal Zhen Huan to drink with him. Zhen Huan felt extremely sweet inside. Before entering the palace, she made a wish in front of the Bodhisattva, wishing to win the heart of one person and stay together until old age. Now this wish seems difficult to realize, but the person she likes is so sincere to her, so she is satisfied.

Concubine Hua was standing opposite and watching Zhen Huan flirting with the Emperor in public in the hall. She was extremely angry, but she couldn't show it, so she could only glare at her.

While the banquet was going on, the palace maid beside Concubine Cao quietly entered the hall and kept whispering to Concubine Cao.

"Clang!" It was the sound of a wine glass falling to the ground. The sudden sound immediately made everyone focus their attention on Concubine Cao.

Concubine Cao stood up in panic and apologized: "Your Majesty, I have lost my manners."

Before the Emperor could speak, Concubine Hua asked her, "Noble Lady Cao, what's wrong with you?" Her tone was urgent, as if she knew what was going to happen.

Concubine Cao's anxious expression was real. She said in a hurry, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Wen Yi is vomiting milk and crying non-stop. I was so anxious that I lost my manners in front of the palace."

When the emperor heard that Wen Yi was not feeling well, he immediately asked with concern, "Can you please summon the imperial physician? What's the reason?"

Concubine Hua also had a look of anxiety and self-blame on her face. She pleaded guilty with tears in her eyes: "I have already consulted the imperial physician, but he has not been able to find out what the problem is. I have failed to take good care of Wen Yi. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

When the emperor heard that they had not found the cause of the illness, he was anxious and began to comfort her: "It is common for children to get sick. I see that you have looked very haggard these past few days. How can I blame you? I will go with you to see Wen Yi. I will leave this place to the care of the queen."

Hua Fei chose the right time. In her previous life, she dragged the emperor away when the banquet was almost over, and everyone followed her to visit Wen Yi. In this life, Wen Yi fell ill before the banquet was half over, so the emperor had to let the queen continue to host the family dinner, so that Hua Fei had the opportunity to be alone with the emperor.

Zhen Huan looked at the emperor's back as he walked away. Even though she was doing it for her daughter, she couldn't help feeling lost. Today was the Chinese Valentine's Day!

I was feeling melancholy for a moment and drank a few more glasses.
