If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

The Queen Mother ate the cool dessert and felt comfortable. She leaned on the couch and asked Ling Rong, "How come you have time to come and see me today?"

The Queen Mother was in a very relaxed mood now. Lingrong knew that she was enjoying her meal. "The Queen Mother is blaming me for not coming for a while." Lingrong often paid her respects to the Queen Mother and treated her like her own elder. Therefore, although the Queen Mother could not love Lingrong as much as her own juniors, she was also very caring to her. Lingrong believed that if anything unexpected happened in the future, as long as she didn't make any mistakes, the Queen Mother would definitely save her life.

"Look at her mouth, she's so eloquent." The Queen Mother also teased Lingrong to Aunt Zhuxi with a smile, and Aunt Zhuxi also laughed.

"I heard that you have a poor appetite due to the hot weather recently, so I made this dessert for you to try." Ling Rong also showed off her achievements to the Queen Mother at the right time, "Listen to me, this thing is very difficult to make. Look, my arms are so tired that they are thin."

Lingrong pretended to raise her arm for the Queen Mother to see, and the Queen Mother reached out and slapped her, "You are asking for a reward from me? Tell me what you want while I'm happy now," the Queen Mother smiled and glanced at Lingrong.

"Well, you have to let me think about it carefully, Aunt Zhuxi, you are most familiar with the Empress, please give me some advice and tell me what good things the Empress has." Ling Rong looked at Aunt Zhuxi mischievously.

"Look, Miss Jing is so mean. She asked me to pick good things for her. If they were good, you would be reluctant to give them away. If they were not good, she would come to me." Aunt Zhuxi also pretended to be unhappy and said.

"Then let her bribe you, but the bribe cannot be too light." After the Queen Mother said this, Lingrong also started laughing.

"Your Majesty, although the weather is hot, you can't eat too much ice. I'll try to make something else for you to try some other day." Ling Rong first whetted the empress dowager's appetite so that she would have a suitable excuse to pay a visit to her in the future. Although she could come, she couldn't just come casually like strolling in her own yard.

"Well, it will be ready in a few days. The Emperor will take us to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat," the Queen Mother said nonchalantly.

"The Old Summer Palace, I haven't been there yet, is it beautiful?" In her previous life, Lingrong was taken there by Zhen Huan, but this time, Lingrong believed that the emperor would take her with him.

"It's beautiful. The Old Summer Palace is the largest garden in the country. It was awarded to the Emperor by the late emperor," the empress dowager said as if she was immersed in memories. Ling Rong just looked at the empress dowager quietly and at the scenery in the distance.

Aunt Zhuxi reminded Lingrong that it was time for the Queen Mother to rest, so Lingrong did not disturb her and bowed and left. It seems that the Queen Mother is also a person with a story.

The young eunuch held an umbrella for Lingrong, and the three of them braved the scorching sun at noon and returned to the Yanx Palace. When they got back, Lingrong's face was flushed from the heat. As soon as she sat down, the reward from Shoukang Palace arrived. The Empress Dowager rewarded her with a double-sheng plum blossom hairpin and a box of palace-made velvet flowers. Lingrong happily thanked the Empress Dowager for the reward. It was indeed more generous than what she had asked for.

She remembered the hairpin of the two immortals of harmony and unity that the Empress Dowager gave to her sister Mei in her previous life, which made her very greedy. This time, she didn't have to be envious. Ling Rong lay on the small couch and looked at the plum blossom hairpin carefully. The hairpin was made of silver and looked very plain, but the hairpin craftsmanship made the plum blossom look lively and vivid.

Lingrong likes this step-shaking ornament very much, it is both low-key and generous.
