If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

Lingrong returned to the palace half a month later than the others. Nanny Li had already packed her luggage and other things, and she brought many more things with her when she left than when she came.

On the day of returning to the palace, Nanny Li called Lingrong to get up at the end of the 3:00 pm. After Lingrong had packed up, she lay on the small couch waiting for them to come and say that they could set off. She was drowsy and took another nap. When she woke up, it was already daybreak.

Instead of waiting for someone to tell her that they could leave, Juqing came to bring her breakfast.

"What time is it now?" Ling Rong was still half asleep and only knew that it was almost dawn.

"My lady, it's already the end of the morning hour. Eunuch Zhang was afraid that you would be hungry, so he asked the kitchen to deliver breakfast first." Juqing replied with a smile.

Lingrong readily accepted the help and got up to wash her hands and eat. In fact, she couldn't help rolling her eyes in her heart. She had slept for an hour and still hadn't set out yet. Why did she have to get up so early? The Emperor and the Empress were not here, and no one would find fault with her for this. It would be better for her to sleep comfortably until the end of the morning hour and then get up for breakfast.

After Lingrong washed her hands, she sat down at the table. Today's breakfast was simple, with two kinds of porridge, one bowl of sweet porridge with eight treasures, one bowl of chicken porridge, one basket of shrimp dumplings, one basket of steamed buns, two plates of pickled vegetables, one plate of garlic cucumber, and one plate of sour and spicy green bean sprouts. After Lingrong sat down, Juqing served her the dishes. Juqing had been serving her since she entered the palace, and was familiar with her dietary habits. She scooped a bowl of chicken porridge for Lingrong, and then helped her serve the dishes.

Ling Rong was still a little groggy from sleep, so she didn't eat much. "I'm done. If you haven't eaten yet, take the rest of my food and share it with me. I don't know when I can go back at noon."

"Yes, young lady." Ju Qing agreed softly, and then asked the little palace maid to come in and clean up the dishes. She didn't think there was anything wrong with what Ling Rong said. After all, the meals they ate were different from those of the masters, and there was no time to eat on the way. It was Ling Rong who sympathized with them and let them pick out the ready-made food first. For the eunuchs who couldn't enter the house to serve, they might not be lucky enough to get a bowl of rice before leaving. If they didn't get to eat, they would have to go back to the Forbidden City hungry to eat.

After dinner, Lingrong sat in the room with Juqing, eating melon seeds and waiting to set off. In fact, Lingrong was also curious about what was being packed outside. It took from the beginning of the yin hour to the beginning of the wei hour and it was still not finished. Lingrong was really bored waiting, "Juqing, help me up and walk."

"How about, young lady, you go to the bathroom first?" Ju Qing reminded in a low voice.

Ling Rong thought about it and realized that she had not gone to the bathroom after dinner. If she went to the bathroom later, it would be inconvenient for her to go to the bathroom. After all, this dress was not that convenient to wear. It just so happened that Ling Rong had just reached the back of the screen when she heard Li Ma Ma's voice coming into the room, "My lady, we are leaving. Have you packed?"

"Why don't we go first?" Ling Rong was really a little embarrassed. She had just prepared herself up and now she had to leave. What a perfect time.

Upon seeing this, Juqing immediately walked out and whispered a few words in Li Ma's ear. Li Ma then said, "Juqing, go and tell the young lady to tell those who haven't had breakfast to have breakfast before leaving." Lingrong, who was behind the screen, felt relieved when she heard this. She felt at ease and asked someone to help her clean up so that she could go to the toilet.

The journey back to the palace was not very far, and since there were fewer people, the journey would be faster. However, even so, when Lingrong returned to the palace, it was already past lunch. After returning to the palace, Lingrong went to the Queen's Jingren Palace to pay her respects to the Queen. Fortunately, the Queen did not see her, but asked Jianqiu to pass on the message, "Ms. Lingrong, the Queen has instructed that you should go directly to Yongshou Palace to have a good rest after you return."
