If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

It was certain that Lingrong would not receive any letters from home. She did not go out except to pay respects. Unexpectedly, while she could sit still in Anlan Garden, someone else could not.

"My lady, the rumors in the palace have been getting more and more outrageous recently." Bao Que said angrily. She went to collect the monthly allowance today. Previously, the monthly allowance of Anlan Garden was delivered to Anlan Garden by the eunuchs, but it was not delivered this month. When she went to collect it, she heard a group of people chattering about whether their lady had fallen out of favor.

"When the Northwest Army's rations were intercepted two days ago, they all said that the young lady's father was the magistrate of Songyang County, so if Jiang Wenqing was convicted, the young lady's father would also be implicated." Baoque became more and more angry as she spoke. In other words, the young lady did not allow them to argue with others outside, otherwise she would have to argue with them.

"Yes, I heard about it too. The emperor has been busy recently and hasn't been to the harem, so they've been saying that you've fallen out of favor. I don't know where they heard that your father was transferred to an idle position, so they started to talk nonsense. Their mouths are like a broken basket, leaking everything wherever they go." Juqing was very worried. She vaguely heard that these were gossips from Suiyuxuan, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.

While listening to them talking, Lingrong did not stop accumulating flowers in her hands. She wanted to make a few sets of fine cotton pajamas for the emperor. She asked the Imperial Household Department to cut the fabric for her. When she went to get it, she saw that they had a lot of leftover scraps of cloth. These scraps of cloth were useless in the Imperial Household Department, so the manager of the Imperial Household Department gave them to Lingrong after taking a look at them.

"Okay, don't be angry, come here, let me take a look." Ling Rong didn't care much about these rumors. She knew that rumors could kill people, but this matter didn't cause any substantial harm to her. As long as the emperor summoned her again when he was free, the rumor would have no effect.

Bao Que walked over to Ling Rong and squatted down. Ling Rong held the flowers she had just collected and tried them in her hair. She was not satisfied with them no matter how she looked at them. She asked Xiang Juqing, "How do you think it looks like this?"

"This flower doesn't suit her short bun today, let's use this, this bunch of plum blossoms will look good." Juqing picked up a bunch of plum blossoms I collected two days ago, which looked much better. She picked up another bunch of plum blossoms and put them together, which made it look even better.

"Well, take them and share them." Lingrong was in a very good mood. She generously gave them the palace flowers she had collected in the past two days. She felt pleasing to the eyes when her palace girls were dressed up beautifully.

Seeing that Lingrong was not affected by the gossip in the palace, Juqing and Baoque stopped thinking about those trivial matters, and they happily went to divide the palace flowers together.

Lingrong drank tea and watched the two little girls skipping out. When the rumor started two days ago, she asked Xiaoshuer to investigate. It started from Suiyuxuan. Since the rumor started, Shen Meizhuang and Xin Changzai, who had seen her later, and Jixiang who was beside Concubine Duan, also came to ask Lingrong. These people were not trustworthy, but they could definitely cooperate. Only Zhen Huan wanted to take advantage of this to suppress herself.

Concubine Hua has not done anything except cutting down on food, ice and other small things. Lingrong knows that Concubine Hua does not want to offend the Queen Mother, so she dare not do anything to her again. She can only disgust herself with these small things. However, Lingrong has the emperor's words, so if she wants to cause trouble, she can just go to the emperor's small kitchen to get food.

However, Lingrong wants to lie dormant now because she has no children and has not made any contributions to the country. It is not easy for her to climb up again. Therefore, it is easy for them to find fault with her as long as they are of higher status than her. Although the emperor can protect her, it does not mean that the emperor is willing to clean up this mess for her all the time. Therefore, Lingrong still has to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity.
