If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

Chapter 218 Chrysanthemums Bloom

After seeing everyone off, Ling Rong sat in front of the dressing table with a speechless face. Nanny Li personally helped her take off her hairpin, "Mammy, what does Concubine Chun mean by being here? What's the purpose of this?"

"What can that mean? I guess she just wants to surrender, but she can't bring herself to do it. After all, you were not as good as her when you entered the palace." Nanny Li complained.

"But, even if my family background is not that good and my initial position is not high, I am still a concubine now. Why should she, a maid, look down on me?" Ling Rong was so angry that she laughed.

"So you don't have to pay attention to her. Although she is from the Manchu military flag, she is still young and the emperor will not favor her. By the time the emperor favors her, you will have established yourself and you don't have to pay attention to her." Nanny Li said nonchalantly.

Ling Rong nodded. This made sense. She was already four months pregnant. Even if she was now favored and pregnant, her child, whether a princess or a prince, would be one year older than her. "I'm not worried that she would influence me. I just couldn't understand her attitude. Why was she so offensive? Well, forget it. If you can't understand it, don't think about it."

Inside Jingren Palace, the Empress stood in front of the desk and wrote big characters, but her state of mind had changed, and she was writing more and more skillfully.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Xia heard it carefully. The Emperor called General Nian his benefactor." Jianqiu reported to the Queen with worry. Noble Concubine Hua is now a noble concubine, and the Emperor still respects the Nian family so much. What should Your Majesty do?

"How are the Fourth Prince's studies going recently?" The Queen did not respond to Jianqiu's question, but instead asked about the Fourth Prince.

Jianqiu was stunned when she heard the question, and then said, "The experts in the study said that the Fourth Prince studies very hard. Although he started later than the Third Prince, he has much better talent than the Third Prince." Speaking of this, Jianqiu had a proud expression, as if the experts were praising herself instead of the Fourth Prince.

"It's good that he knows how to make progress. It's worth my raising him." The queen said lightly. So what if he is a benefactor? Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. The emperor may favor him now, but it doesn't mean he will always favor him.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Hua..."

Jianqiu was interrupted before she could finish her words. "She has been spoiled for a long time. Do you remember why she is favored?" The queen paused and continued, "As long as Huan Yixiang continues to be there, she will not be able to make any waves. Well, the weather has been cold recently. Watch the nanny to buy more clothes for the fourth prince in time."

"Yes, the northwest wind has been blowing recently and the weather has become cooler. I have told the nanny that the queen doesn't need to worry." Jianqiu replied with a smile.

The queen wrote one word "Fu" after another on the table. Finally, after writing two, she stopped. She sat down and rubbed her sore wrist. Jianqiu went out and got a steaming hot towel and put it on the queen's wrist. "Your Majesty, you must be tired. Let me massage it for you." As she spoke, she rubbed the queen's right hand through the hot towel.

Jianqiu was massaging the queen's wrists, and the queen suddenly asked, "Are the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden in full bloom recently?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the weather has turned cooler. The most beautiful flowers blooming in the Imperial Garden are chrysanthemums. Many new varieties of chrysanthemums are being cultivated in the greenhouse." Jianqiu said this and remembered the funny things that happened last year and couldn't help laughing.

"What's wrong that makes you so happy?" The queen asked puzzledly when she saw Jianqiu suddenly laughing. She had pinched her hand more than once or twice, so why was she laughing?

"Speaking of chrysanthemums, do you remember, Your Majesty? Last year, when Concubine He was still Lady Shen, the Emperor gave all the newly cultivated green chrysanthemums in the greenhouse to Concubine He. But when she was delivering the flowers, she happened to meet Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua thought that the Emperor gave them to her, so she intercepted the chrysanthemums. But she didn't expect that they were given to Concubine He. I remember that Concubine Hua was so angry that she threw away all the chrysanthemums in Yikun Palace." Jianqiu couldn't help laughing again.

"Now that you mention it, I remember it. I only remember that Concubine Hua threw the chrysanthemums. So that's how it was." The Queen couldn't help but laugh. This was how it was in the palace. No matter how favored you were, you couldn't suppress the constant flow of new people into the palace. With new people there would be new favorites. Even Concubine Hua, who was constantly honored and favored, had also encountered Zhen and An.
