An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Upon hearing that Concubine Li had recovered, the Emperor went to sit in her palace to show his concern.

Concubine Li was not as flamboyant as she used to be when she was favored. Instead, she was like a frightened deer, always paying attention to every little movement around her.

She was completely attached to the emperor, and her impatient temper was calmed down at this moment.

The emperor finally had the mood to appreciate her beauty and took her to recall the time when she first entered the palace.

Concubine Li was once favored by the emperor because of her beauty, and now she is favored again because of her beauty.

However, the Queen Mother was destined not to let a concubine who had a history of madness serve the Emperor. Seeing that the Emperor had no intention of leaving until dinner, she took the initiative to ask someone to invite the Emperor to Shoukang Palace.

The emperor thought that the empress dowager was ill and was very panicked, but he did not expect to be bombarded with questioning as soon as he entered Shoukang Palace.

He repeated several times what it meant to treat everyone equally and to expand the royal family. Finally, he moved on to Concubine Li and asked the emperor to find a secluded place for her to live until her madness was completely cured.

"Lipin is almost recovered now. If it weren't for Zhen, she wouldn't have been frightened to the point of going crazy."

The emperor actually didn't like Concubine Li that much, he was just temporarily dazzled by her extraordinary beauty.

But the more the Queen Mother tried to stop him, the more he couldn't help but go against her will.

“I know that if the emperor hadn’t wanted to keep Zhen’s father to collect evidence of the Nian family’s crimes, she would have been banished to the cold palace long ago.

After all, she still retains her position, and it is her blessing to be favored occasionally. I know that you miss Rouze in your heart, so I don't want to stop you.

As for this Lipin, she is already a lunatic. If she accidentally hurts you, I am afraid that the whole government will be worried. "

Since Rouze's death, the Queen Mother rarely talked about Rouze so frankly with the Emperor. She only mentioned it occasionally when the Queen did something out of line in order to protect her.

"Rou Ze passed away many years ago, but the Queen Mother always mentions Rou Ze because of her."

When Rouze was alive, the empress dowager was extremely fond of her.

Although the Queen Mother thought that Rouze was not suitable to be the mistress of the house, she had been married as her principal wife after all, so the Queen Mother could only accept her fate and discipline her.

But Rou is only good at love between men and women. She is particularly partial when managing the household and is completely unable to be fair and just.

Not only was she not as good as Yixiu, she was even not as good as Jingpin, who was very young at that time.

But she was able to win the emperor's heart by playing the piano, dancing and composing poetry all day long.

Even the concubine's behavior spread out and was talked about and laughed at by the emperor's brothers.

If Rouze had not passed away early, I’m afraid the outcome of the fight for the throne would be unknown.

"Rouzhe is also my niece. I miss her as much as the emperor does."

The Queen Mother sighed. She didn't miss Rouze at all. She was just a defeated woman, and it was an honor for her to call her niece.

"It would be great if that's the case," the emperor looked at the empress dowager meaningfully, "It seems that the Empress Dowager likes Yixiu more."

The Empress Dowager also disliked Yixiu. She was too cunning, which resulted in the Emperor having few children at his age.

These two sisters have only romantic thoughts in their minds and have not made any progress at all.

"...I am only concerned about your health, the Emperor. There are too many flowers in the palace, and you will be dazzled if you are not careful."

"What flower do you think is not charming?"

The emperor wanted to test the empress dowager's attitude. He wanted to know which concubine was so bold as to gossip about him in front of the empress dowager.

"Your Majesty, it has been a while since you last visited Concubine Jing. She has been so busy with the affairs of the six palaces these days that she even forgot to rest."

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief. She had sent some love wine to Concubine Jing today. If she could lead the Emperor over, it would naturally be a good thing.

It turned out to be Concubine Jing, the emperor murmured in his heart, Concubine Jing was beautiful, but too dignified and not likable.

She used to dress old-fashionedly and was like an invisible person in the palace. It turned out that she had reached some consensus with the Empress Dowager, which gave her the confidence to stand on the stage.

"My son will go to see Concubine Jing tonight, so please don't worry, Madam."

When the empress dowager heard that the emperor agreed to go to Xianfu Palace, she smiled with relief.

Concubine Jing has a high enough position and is a dignified and proper person. When the Nian family falls in the future, she will be the most suitable candidate to check and balance the queen in the harem.

Shen Meizhuang was also suitable, her family was powerful and she was a calm person. But unfortunately, her methods were not good enough. She made many enemies in the palace by cutting the regular dishes. She would only run into obstacles everywhere if she assisted the six palaces.

"Then I won't stay any longer. You two haven't seen each other for a long time. I'm sure you have a lot to talk about."

The Emperor no longer has the time to be affectionate with Concubine Jing. He would rather go to Chengqian Palace to visit the pregnant Concubine An than to see those turtles in Concubine Jing's palace.

But the Empress Dowager had already spoken, so the Emperor had no choice but to go.

Concubine Jing in Xianfu Palace had already made preparations. She took fertility-enhancing drugs for several days in a row, just waiting for the emperor to visit her so that she could conceive.

The love wine sent by the empress dowager finally came in handy. Under Concubine Jing's constant urging, the emperor poured cup after cup into his stomach.

The effect of the wine took effect quickly. Even though the two people had their own thoughts in their hearts, they fulfilled the Queen Mother's wish and spent the night in endless joy.

But the joy of this night was in vain. The emperor never went to Concubine Jing's place again after that day. Instead, he began to stay overnight in Shen Meizhuang's palace.

It’s a pity that Shen Meizhuang ignored the emperor. Even though the emperor kept giving her rewards, she was just indifferent. Her smile was not as bright as the one Wen Shichu showed when he came over to take her pulse.

But the emperor seemed to be competing with Shen Meizhuang and was used to sticking up to her despite the beauty's cold face.

Seeing that the Emperor began to linger in Xianfu Palace again, Concubine Hua began to get anxious. After all, that bitch Concubine Jing had snatched away her right to assist in managing the six palaces, and Shen Meizhuang had always been at odds with her.

But now that she was pregnant, even if the emperor came, he could only stay with her for one night and could no longer stay with her every night like before.

Therefore, even if Concubine Hua was unwilling to share the emperor's favor with others, she had to find some way to let the people around her keep the emperor for her.

It’s a pity that her concubine Lipin is beautiful but crazy and not suitable for sleeping with the emperor.

Cao Qinmo has an ordinary appearance and is not favored by the emperor at all. The only person who can make the emperor look at her more is Wen Yi, who is now being raised by her.

Now, only Yu Ying'er is left in Chuxiu Palace.

But she is arrogant and domineering, and the emperor might not like her.

Concubine Hua was worried sick, so she asked Songzhi to call Cao Qinmo to Yikun Palace and asked her to think of a solution.

"By the way, let her go see Wen Yi first, and then bring her to the main hall." Concubine Hua stopped Song Zhi. She held her forehead and gave Cao Qinmo the opportunity to visit Wen Yi as a reward.

"Your Majesty is so generous," Songzhi stood at the door, turning her head slightly to look at Zhou Ninghai beside her, "In this way, we don't have to worry about Concubine Cao not thinking of a solution for Your Majesty."

"That's exactly the point." Zhou Ninghai immediately stepped forward and served tea and water to Concubine Hua. "Your Majesty is very wise. Songzhi can't compare to you even if she studies for a hundred years."

"You two are always so sweet-talking. Are you short of money again?"

Concubine Hua was amused by the two people. She waved her hand and told Songzhi to quickly invite Cao Qinmo over.

"Lingzhi, go grab a few handfuls of golden pumpkin seeds later and share them among you.

After all, you have been working hard these days, so you deserve some rewards."

Concubine Hua was a very generous person. The rewards she gave to these servants were just a few months' salary.

"Your servants are waiting for the Madam to give birth to a little prince and then reward us with a house to live in."

Zhou Ninghai spared no effort to cheer Concubine Hua up, and Lingzhi beside him also joined in the fun, which for a moment really made Concubine Hua forget all the worries she had just had.

Soon, Songzhi invited Concubine Cao over. Because she had visited Wen Yi in advance, she was in a good mood at the moment and couldn't help but put on a gentle smile on her face.

Concubine Hua's eyes were hurt by that smile. Now Wen Yi is her daughter, and Cao Qinmo had better not be ungrateful, because the child will never return to her.

"Is Wen Yi okay?"

"Wen Yi is fine, still as cheerful as before, but looks a little thinner..." Cao Qinmo answered Concubine Hua subconsciously, but was quickly stopped by Concubine Hua's unfriendly look.

She bit her lower lip and tried her best to maintain her breathing. Although she was furious, she did not dare to show it in front of Concubine Hua.

Fortunately, Songzhi spoke up at this time, and she explained Wen Yi's situation one by one, "The nurse said that the princess now sleeps well at night, I think it's because the queen accompanied her a few days ago."

"Wen Yi is young and gentle, so she should be pampered." Concubine Hua deliberately looked at Cao Qinmo. She touched the jade bracelet on her wrist, "Wen Yi is taken care of so well, you should be relieved."

Cao Qinmo raised her eyes slightly, and the next moment she sat down again with her head lowered. Her voice was low, and if you listened carefully you could detect the trembling in it.

"Wen Yi is the daughter of the Empress. How can I not feel at ease?"

Concubine Hua was very satisfied with Cao Qinmo's answer. She asked Lingzhi to serve her tea and then began to talk to Cao Qinmo about her thoughts.

"Your Majesty, Yu Ying'er has already put the dementia-causing drug into Concubine Duan's medicine.

When Concubine Duan is released from house arrest after a month, she will be nothing more than a fool and will no longer be a threat to the Empress."

Concubine Hua glanced at Cao Qinmo and said, "Now Concubine Duan is handed over to Concubine Li and Yu Ying'er to deal with. However, the emperor has been lingering in Xianfu Palace these days. Do you have any solution?"

In Xianfu Palace there are Concubine Jing and Shen Meizhuang, both of whom are quite good-looking, so it is normal for the emperor to linger on them.

Cao Qinmo couldn't figure out for a moment whether Concubine Hua wanted to deal with these two people, or just wanted to bring the emperor's favor back to Yikun Palace.

"As for Concubine Jing, I heard that it was the Empress Dowager who asked the Emperor to go there. This..."

"Stuttering and hesitating," Concubine Hua hated this kind of look the most. She rolled her eyes almost to the sky, "Concubine Jing, you can't do anything, but Shen Meizhuang must have a way."

Cao Qinmo thought about it for a while. She didn't know much about Shen Meizhuang, but she also knew that Shen Meizhuang had seen the imperial physician for a long time in order to conceive a royal heir.

Presumably, this child is still the one she cares about and cherishes the most. If she wants to take action against Shen Meizhuang, she will probably have to do something with this child.

"My lady, now that Concubine Fu has lost her child again, there has been no happy event in the palace for a long time.

The noble lady Hui cares most about having children. If she gets pregnant again..."

Cao Qinmo paused for a moment, which made Concubine Hua glare at her impatiently. "Why keep me in suspense? Keep talking."

“If she faked a pregnancy to win favor, she would naturally be disliked by the emperor once the truth was revealed.

Moreover, she cannot sleep with the emperor during her false pregnancy. Even if the emperor likes Concubine Hui, he will not accompany her every day. "

This was something Concubine Hua had never thought of. If the blame of fake pregnancy was really pinned on Shen Meizhuang, she would never be able to turn things around in her life.

"That's a good idea, but Shen Meizhuang has Wen Shichu by her side. How are you going to make her think she's pregnant?"

"This Imperial Physician Wen is someone who needs to be dealt with." Cao Qin sighed silently. Concubine Hui had an imperial physician by her side, which made many of her methods less effective.

"If Concubine Hui doesn't have a trusted imperial physician now, this fake pregnancy method could really be a dead end."

"Even if I take action, it will only make him sick. I'm afraid that Wen Shichu will come back before your plan even begins."

Cao Qinmo naturally knew that faking pregnancy to win favor was no longer the best way, so she could only think of some other ways to make Concubine Hua happy.

"Then Concubine Chun has the best relationship with Concubine Hui. Now I think we can do something through Concubine Chun to turn the sisters against each other."

"They are not united in the first place," Concubine Hua thought that starting with Concubine Chun was indeed a good idea, but unfortunately she didn't know how to do it, so she could only hope that Cao Qinmo could come up with some ideas.

But it is not easy to make them turn against each other."

“Now the Emperor favors Concubine Hui, and she stays in Chuxiu Palace every day.

But Chun Changzai's Suiyuxuan is like a cold palace. She favors me but forgets to share her share with the sisters. Unless you are a saint, you won't be angry. "

Concubine Hua always felt that Cao Qinmo's words were mocking her. After all, not only did she favor the emperor, she also didn't want the emperor to go to other people's palaces.

Could it be that Cao Qinmo had already had second thoughts and wanted to betray me?

But Wen Yi was raised by her, if Cao Qinmo harmed her, it would only make Wen Yi's life miserable. I don't think Cao Qinmo would be so stupid...

"Empress?" Cao Qinmo waited for a long time but did not get Concubine Hua's approval. She called out twice uncertainly before bringing Concubine Hua back to her senses.

"Just go ahead and do it. If it doesn't work... I believe you don't want to know what I will do."

Concubine Hua looked carefully at the expression on Cao Qinmo's face, trying to find some clues from it.

"In fact, there is no need for you to be so anxious. Once you give birth to a prince, neither Concubine Jing nor Concubine Hui will be able to shake your position."

Cao Qinmo spoke tentatively, but was quickly glared at by Concubine Hua, and could only smile awkwardly.

"As long as that old woman is alive, my wish will be fulfilled one day later."

Cao Qinmo rolled her eyes and lowered her voice, "I have heard of a way that may be able to help Your Majesty."
