If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

"Okay, it's enough that I know what you mean." The emperor did not say anything else about this matter. He came to tell her not to discuss it with her, but just because he didn't want her to have any resentment because of it in the future.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your understanding. I am grateful." Ling Rong was extremely grateful. When she recovered, even if the emperor did not punish her, she would deal with this trouble herself.

Everyone in Changchun Xianguan was still discussing Princess Wen Yi's first birthday banquet, but the focus of the discussion had deviated to something else entirely.

"Hey, Queen, you said that Li Jingui died early. Who made the Fourth Prince smarter than the Third Prince?" Although Hua Fei said this to the Queen, she actually said it to Qi Fei, who was so angry that she was speechless. Hua Fei smiled and said, "You always laugh at me for having no children. How come you have a son, and he is the eldest son, but he is so stupid."

"Hua Fei, don't lose your temper." The Queen finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted her. Hua Fei received the warning and stopped talking. "Princess Wen Yi is about to turn one year old. It's reasonable for you to be promoted to a higher position,"

When the Queen said this, Concubine Cao was so happy that she put down her tea bowl and was about to stand up to thank the Queen. However, she stopped when she heard the word "but". "But the Emperor said that he is currently engaged in military operations and is in a tight financial situation. He must hold a grand ceremony to confer the title upon you after the war is over. There is no rush at this moment."

Concubine Cao's expression changed again and again, and finally she replied with a smile, "Yes, I am deeply grateful for the emperor's kindness, but I am too humble to dare to accept such a great favor. I will be satisfied as long as I can accompany the emperor and the queen." She knew that if her status could not be raised this time, it would not be easy to raise it again.

"I know you are sensible. The emperor will give you a pair of white jade ruyi for the princess to use as a pillow. I will have someone bring them back to you later." Seeing the queen's innocent smile, I wonder if they have noticed that it was the queen who prevented Concubine Cao from being promoted. She was the first to mention to the emperor that Concubine Cao should be promoted. She was also the one who mentioned that the harem was cutting back on expenses for the war. Concubine Cao was just an unimportant little character. Of course, the emperor would not spend money on her. The money saved was military expenses.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Cao had nothing else to say except thank you.

When the crowd dispersed and Jianqiu went to see them off, she heard someone calling her, "Aunt Qiu."

Jianqiu turned around when she heard the voice and saw the Fourth Prince standing alone under the rockery at the door. Her expression changed immediately. She hurried over and said as she walked, "My Lord, why are you here? Where are your maids?"

"They have ignored me for a long time. Can I pay my respects to the Empress?" The Fourth Prince looked down. He knew his situation. His father didn't love him, and his mother didn't care about him. What's more, his mother was dead. So he could only hope to win her sympathy by paying his respects to the Empress. Of course, it would be fine if he could win the sympathy of others as well.

Jianqiu grabbed the hand of the Fourth Prince as he shook her clothes and said, "The Queen has just gone to bed."

"Then can I pay my respects to the Emperor Father?" The Fourth Prince asked unwillingly. If he couldn't win the Empress' sympathy, he could only pin his hopes on his own Emperor Father, after all, he was still his biological father.

"Wait until the emperor summons you, okay?" Jianqiu didn't give the Fourth Prince a chance to pester her, and directly waved her hand and ordered, "Come here, send the Fourth Prince back properly."
