If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

Inside Bitong Academy.

"My lady, the emperor left in a hurry, I'm afraid..." Jin Xi said as she gently combed Zhen Huan's hair. Zhen Huan felt a headache just after seeing the emperor off, so she asked Jin Xi to help her take off her hair and loosen it up.

"I know, but if Concubine Hua regains her power and has the authority to assist in managing the six palaces, our lives will be difficult." Zhen Huan felt even more headache when she thought of this. No, she couldn't let Concubine Hua regain her power.

The Emperor had originally intended to return to the Qinzheng Palace to handle government affairs after leaving Bitong Academy, but he couldn't let go of the matter of Concubine Hua. He wanted to see what the Empress thought.

"You will be returning to the palace at the end of the month. Are you still busy?" The emperor drank tea and read a book as if nothing had happened, but his mind was not on the book at all.

Although the Emperor asked her if she could handle the work, the Empress knew that the Emperor probably didn't want to hear her say that she wasn't busy at all. "It's OK, but I just went back and added two new concubines, Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Shen, who are pregnant, so I am indeed a little busy."

"You should be more careful. They are still young. You should take better care of them." The emperor replied softly. He was now hesitating whether to mention the matter of Concubine Hua or not.

While the emperor was hesitating, he saw a young eunuch coming in from outside. Upon closer inspection, he found it was Zhang Qilin. "Your servant pays his respects to His Majesty and Her Majesty the Queen." Zhang Qilin came to announce the good news, so he looked very happy.

"What's the matter?" Two months ago, Zhang Qilin was sent by Su Peisheng to be with Concubine Jing. What was he here for?

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jing is pregnant." Zhang Qilin said.

"This is great news," the queen said happily, "There has been no good news for many years, but this year three of my concubines are pregnant at once. I will go to the Buddha to pray on the first day of the new year."

"I know you have a good heart." The emperor was also happy. He was already smiling so hard that his teeth were showing. "When did this happen? Why did you report it only now?"

"Because it's been less than two months, Doctor Zhao wasn't sure for fear of making you happy in vain. Now that Doctor Zhao has said it, he can assure you that it is definitely pregnant." Seeing that the emperor was happy, Zhang Qilin spoke more cheerfully.

"Rewards, there are rewards. Each servant serving in Anlan Garden will be rewarded with two months' monthly salary." The emperor said happily.

"Your Majesty, you can't just reward me. You see, Concubine Jing also needs to be rewarded!" The Queen joked. She was not just joking, she wanted to see how important Concubine Jing was in the Emperor's heart.

"She deserves a reward." The emperor said these three words briefly. He was hesitating. After all, three concubines were pregnant, so he couldn't just reward Concubine Jing.

"Noble Lady Jing is already a noble lady. If she is rewarded further, she will be promoted to a concubine. It is also right for her to be promoted for giving birth to an heir to the emperor." The queen said with a smile.

"Then let Fucha and Shen be promoted together. We cannot favor one over the other." The emperor said when he saw that the queen had no objection.

The Queen naturally had no objection. Of course, she could also tell from this that the Emperor was really concerned about An. After all, the fact that Fucha and Shen were pregnant did not make the Emperor agree to promote them. "Yes, after the promotion, Concubine Jing and Concubine Shen will be able to become the masters of a palace. Where do you think we should move them to?" the Queen asked again. She wanted to test whether the Emperor wanted to move An to Chengqian Palace.

"Since Fu Cha is already living in the main hall of Yanxi Palace, let her be the head of Yanxi Palace. Shen is in her advanced period, so move her to Qixiang Palace. That was the former residence of Lipin, and it has everything you need." The emperor paused when talking about Ling Rong. He really wanted to move her to Chengqian Palace, which was closer to him, but that would make her a target in the harem. If that's the case, it's better to keep her away from him. "An should be moved to Yongshou Palace."

"Yongshou Palace?" The queen asked in doubt. She thought the emperor would give the best to An, but this also showed the emperor's love for her.

"What's wrong with Yongshou Palace? Is it not good?" The emperor asked puzzledly after hearing the queen's words.

"It's not that it's bad, it's just that the Yongshou Palace has been in disrepair for a long time. If Concubine Jing moves there, she will need to ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to renovate it first. Just talking about Concubine Jing, Your Majesty, look at their titles..." the Queen chuckled.

"Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs repair it first. If it doesn't work, let her go back two days later. As for the title, I'll think about it again. If you can't handle it, let Concubine Hua help you." The emperor stood up and walked out. He didn't want to hear the queen's refusal.
