If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

The decree for promotion had been issued, and on the next day at an auspicious time they held the conferring ceremony in Jingren Palace. Although the process was cumbersome, to summarize it was that they were led by Concubine Hua, who was wearing a pomegranate red auspicious dress, to kneel down and worship heaven and earth, and then let the Queen drink the concubine tea again.

During the ceremony, Lingrong secretly glanced at the Queen. The Queen was still smiling as gently and generously as before, but Lingrong, who knew the Queen well, clearly felt that something had changed about the Queen. She was not the same as before. If the Queen in her previous life saw them smiling generously, she would not be able to hide her deep disgust in her bones. But now there was obviously no disgust in the Queen's expression, but a feeling that Lingrong could not describe. If she had to put it in words, she felt that the Queen's expression was more like she was watching a joke, as if she saw a group of clowns who couldn't wait to step into another fire pit.

This feeling always made Ling Rong feel awkward. She didn't know why the Queen had such an expression, or she didn't know what made the Queen change. Could it be the Fourth Prince? In the previous life, the Queen didn't adopt the Fourth Prince. In this life, although the Fourth Prince's jade disc was not recorded in the Queen's name, he was now raised by the Queen.

The enthronement ceremony went by quickly. Concubine Hua was already Concubine Hua. Her face was filled with pride and complacency. This was the honor brought to her by her mother's family. Concubine Hua sat on a stool and accepted the greetings from everyone. She thought in her heart that if she had another child, her life would be complete.

After the ceremony, Lingrong returned to Yongshou Palace to take off her cumbersome dress to relax, but she didn't expect that many people came to congratulate her, including Sister Mei, Concubine Shun, Concubine Xin, Concubine Chun who has always been on good terms with Zhen Huan, and Concubine Duan, who seldom appears in public, also came this time with Princess Wen Yi.

"Sister Duanfei is here, what a rare guest." Forget about others, but Concubine Duan must go out to greet her.

"From what you said, you have been getting better recently. And there is a wedding going on, so I brought Wen Yi here to have a drink of wedding wine. You won't ignore us, mother and daughter." In her previous life, Lingrong was not familiar with Concubine Duan, but she didn't expect her to be so funny.

"Look at what Sister Duan said, how could she not be welcome? Juqing, quickly serve tea to Concubine Duan." Lingrong said with a smile. It seemed that Concubine Duan chose her between her and Zhen Huan.

Ling Rong signaled to Li Ma to go to the imperial kitchen to request two tables of food to entertain them. It was already past lunch when they arrived, and no one had eaten yet. If she didn't make some arrangements, she would be too hungry to bear it.

During the banquet, the Emperor presented two dishes and the Empress presented two dishes. Everyone talked and joked together. Lingrong felt that this was the first time she had felt such a relaxed atmosphere in the harem, whether in her past life or this life. She believed that others felt the same way.

Several people were chatting and laughing together. Since many of the people present were pregnant, most of the topics they talked about were about children and how to take care of the body.

"My nanny doesn't let me eat more. I'm easily hungry now, but she still doesn't let me eat more." Shunpin said with a smile. If the nanny wasn't paid by her mother's family, she would have suspected that she was bribed by someone in the harem.

"That's right, Madam Li is here too. She doesn't let me eat too much either, and she requires me to walk for an hour every day." Lingrong also said with a smile. Madam Li did tell her to exercise every day, walk for fifteen minutes after each meal, and also to visit her in the morning and evening. So she should come out at this hour.

"Don't be ungrateful. The maids are all doing this for your own good. I don't even have an older maid to keep an eye on me." Sister Mei said. There really wasn't an older and more experienced maid around her, so she fell into Zhen Huan's trap so easily.

"That's right, sister. If you are still not satisfied, Nanny will not agree." Ling Rong said with a smile.
