If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

On the second day after Lingrong returned to the palace, she went to the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace to pay her respects.

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Jing is here to pay her respects to you." Aunt Zhuxi walked into the small Buddhist hall and reported to the Empress Dowager who was meeting Buddha Bean.

"Ah."

"Then I will take Concubine Jing to the side hall first." After Aunt Zhuxi said this, she bowed and left when she saw that the Queen Mother did not speak.

"Aunt Zhuxi, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look more rosy and beautiful." Lingrong said jokingly. She wanted the empress dowager to be her backer, so she was happy to flatter the people around her.

"Your Excellency is getting more and more talkative. It's because you are pregnant that I am happy too." Aunt Zhuxi offered Lingrong tea. "Now that the weather is getting cooler, I'll give you a cup of Guiyuan Qizao tea."

"Thank you, auntie. But you can't just give me a cup of tea after you congratulate me." Lingrong chatted with Zhuxi with a smile. After a while, a palace maid lifted the curtain from the inner hall. Lingrong knew that the Queen Mother had finished paying homage to the Buddha.

Seeing this, Ling Rong immediately stood up and saluted, "Your concubine greets the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."

"Get up, you are pregnant, you should be careful." The empress dowager smiled gently. The emperor had few children, and she had gone to the Old Summer Palace. Now there were three pregnant concubines in the palace. She had been smiling in her dreams these days.

"Thanks to you, this child is very strong." Ling Rong replied.

"I heard that you moved into Yongshou Palace after you came back. Are you used to it?" When Lingrong heard the Queen Mother mention this, she knew that the Queen Mother might be dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, I'm used to living here," Lingrong replied with a smile. No matter how many problems the Queen Mother had, she would not let her not be promoted.

"Well, that's good. The emperor values ​​his offspring and wants to promote you all. I heard that your title is Chen?" The empress dowager was too lazy to play tricks with her and brought up the matter directly.

"Oh, is that so? I have heard that I would be promoted, but I have not heard the emperor talk about the title yet." Even if she has heard of it, she would not admit it. It will only be hers after the emperor writes it down in black and white. Otherwise, there will always be changes. If there is a change, then it means she hasn't heard of it.

"Well, it's better if you don't know. I tell you the truth, I don't think the word 'Chen' is good." The Queen Mother had a gentle expression but a serious tone. It seemed that she really didn't like this word.

"Empress." Ling Rong called softly and said nothing more.

"The word 'Chen' means Purple Star, also called Emperor Star. This word is not good for you. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, although Concubine Chen of Guanju Palace was favored, she was..." Although the Queen Mother did not continue to say the rest of the words, Lingrong waited for a moment. Yes, Concubine Chen of Guanju Palace was favored, but she was also a target in the harem and had a short life.

"Your Majesty is right, but I really have no say in the matter of the title." Lingrong's wry smile was meant to tell the empress dowager that she didn't mind changing it if she wanted to, but she couldn't say that.

"That's right. I like you, a gentle and virtuous girl. I will give you the title of 'Xian'. What do you think?" The Queen Mother referred to herself as "I" in the first half of the sentence, and referred to herself as "this palace" in the second half, which means that the second half of the sentence was not really about asking Lingrong.

"I thank the Queen for bestowing the title." Lingrong bowed to express her gratitude. The grace of the royal family is something you cannot decide whether to agree or not.

"Well, I'm tired, you should go back and have some rest too." The Queen Mother saw that the matter had been settled, so she ordered Ling Rong to leave.

After leaving Shoukang Palace, Lingrong was deeply puzzled. Although she could understand that the Queen Mother was doing this for her own good, she didn't understand why she would pay attention to this. But it didn't matter. The word "Chen" was indeed too ostentatious.
