If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

Zhen Huan was about to get up and walk out, Ling Rong didn't think much and just kept drinking and watching the singing and dancing. Her drinking capacity was trained in her previous life, when she was out of favor, sad and upset, she always wanted to get drunk to relieve her sorrow, but being drunk or not really couldn't solve her problems, and she did drink a lot today.

"Your Majesty, although the singing and dancing today are grand, they are inevitably a bit stereotyped. It is a family dinner and all those present are relatives. It would be better to think of something relaxing." Taking advantage of the break between singing and dancing, Concubine Cao recommended to the emperor that they change the way of playing this year.

"Tell me what ideas you have." The emperor was already bored of watching singing and dancing every year, so he was happy to see new ideas today.

"Since the sisters present here have been accompanying His Majesty, they naturally have their own strengths. Why don't you write them down and draw lots? Whoever draws the right one can use it to entertain the guests. What do you think, Your Majesty?" The emperor nodded. It was indeed a good idea. After watching the singing girls dancing all day, it would be nice to see the talents of the concubines today.

"This is a fresh idea. Let's do as you say." The emperor said curiously. After the emperor agreed, Concubine Cao led people to prepare the paper for drawing lots. When Ling Rong was bored and looked around, she found that Jingpin was not sitting in her seat either. She asked Bao Que, "When did Jingpin leave?"

"My lady, Concubine Jing has been out for a while. She probably went out not long after Concubine Wan went out. I'm afraid she went out to sober up." Baoque replied. Lingrong has been with Baoque recently. After all, she is worried that Juqing is someone Zhen Huan once gave her, and Baojuan is the Queen's person. The one they trust the least is Baojuan, and then Juqing.

Juqing has no intention of betraying her master now, but Lingrong's attitude towards Zhen Huan is no longer the same as she had imagined. They are now beginning to have conflicts and estrangement. She doesn't dare to bet on whether Juqing will betray her, so maybe she should try when she has a chance.

As they were talking, Concubine Cao led her maid towards the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have already prepared the things. Since it was my idea, I will do the job of drawing lots and issuing orders."

"Why, you haven't come up with this idea yet?" the emperor teased her. The emperor thought she had learned some skills and wanted to show off, but he didn't expect that she herself had not come up to the stage.

"I have no talent, I can only play with beads, which is not worthy of being performed in a high-class place. I have already thought about it," Concubine Cao replied to the emperor and turned to the crowd and said, "Sisters, no matter what you perform, I will give you a string of beads to show my appreciation. Your Majesty, do you think this is a good idea?"

"Although it's lazy, it's acceptable as a forced effort." After saying this to everyone, Concubine Cao said to the emperor. The emperor had no interest in her pearl necklace, so he didn't make things difficult for her.

"It's really interesting. I've heard that the ladies in the palace all have their own strengths. Today I'm really going to open my eyes." Prince Dun laughed and joked. Lingrong couldn't understand what he meant and felt more of a mockery.

"Then why don't you let the Queen go first?" No one responded to Prince Dun's words, so Concubine Cao immediately changed the subject.

"You are the mother of the little birthday boy, so please help me draw." Lingrong thought that the queen was really smart. It might not matter if she drew, but it must not be anything too difficult for Concubine Cao to draw.

"Thank you, Queen, for your kindness." Concubine Cao said, then turned around and took out a slip of paper from the lottery box. She unfolded the slip and said with a smile, "Please write the word 'longevity' in your own hand."

The queen laughed when she heard this. It really suited her. "It's really hard for me to be in front of so many people."

"The Queen's calligraphy is outstanding. I don't think Concubine Cao will let the Queen get away with it so easily." Concubine Duan said with a smile. As an old man in the palace, she knew that the Queen's calligraphy was good. While she was talking, the eunuch brought up a table with pen, ink, paper and inkstone ready.

"In this case, today is Princess Wen Yi's birthday, so I will write a character for longevity and give it to her," the Queen said, taking advantage of the situation. She was the first to start this game, so she couldn't ignore her and had to sing along.
