An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red
Chapter 202 Concubine
"In reply to Lady Anpin, you have not been feeling well recently, so you should go to bed early.
It is really too hot today, so I want to go to the beach to enjoy the sea breeze."
In a place where no one could see, Huanbi clenched her fingers tightly. She knew that her words would not be believed at all, but she had no better excuse to explain why she went out so late at night.
You can't say that she came here to have a secret meeting with Prince Guo.
Thinking of this, Huanbi raised her head slightly and glanced at Prince Guo.
Her burning eyes caught the emperor's eye and he felt that there was something going on between the two.
But Lingrong knew very well that Huanbi's love for Prince Guo was just unrequited.
The only person that Prince Guo truly loves and treats as his wife is Zhen Huan.
"Really?"
The emperor looked at Prince Guo with an expression that could be described as playful, and his mood was much better than when he was playing chess and waiting for Prince Guo just now.
After all, the emperor likes those noble ladies who are well-educated and well-mannered. How can he be unhappy when Prince Guo, who makes him jealous day and night, likes a maid who can't read or write?
Lingrong sighed in her heart, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you know that the one he covets is actually your Concubine Xu, and Huanbi is at most a last resort for him.
If given a choice, Prince Guo would definitely not admit that he had a secret meeting with Huanbi today.
It’s a pity that Prince Guo had no choice but to accept it.
"...Yes, it was my brother who called her here."
The letter written by Zhen Huan was still in Prince Guo's clothes on his chest. How could he dare to joke about the future of both of them? He could only give no explanation and let the matter get worse and worse.
"I have a crush on Miss Huanbi, so I wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to her. I didn't expect to delay His Majesty's cruise. I really shouldn't have done that."
Explaining the tip-off as a secret meeting at night would not only allay the emperor's doubts, but also make their future tips more reasonable.
Lingrong thought for a moment and then showed the same expression as the emperor, an expression that showed that the two of you were in tune with each other.
"Rong'er also thinks that Prince Seventeen and Huanbi are a good match for each other." The emperor's smile deepened. He was even happier at this moment. He only regretted that he had not caught Prince Guo and Huanbi doing this in public.
"As long as they are lovers, they are a good match." Ling Rong played with the chess piece in her hand, "I only knew that Prince Guo was fond of poetry and books like the emperor, and I thought he would pursue a woman who shared the same feelings with him.
Now it seems that if you like this kind of thing, you don’t need any external restrictions.”
The emperor also looked at Prince Guo meaningfully, until he nodded slowly, then he spoke again, "If you really like her, just marry her.
Although my birth is low, I can still be a concubine."
Unexpectedly, Prince Guo shook his head, his tone even a little anxious, "Noble Lady Xu only has Huanbi as her personal maid, and I cannot take the last trustworthy maid away from Noble Lady Xu just because of my personal feelings."
Hearing Prince Guo say these words, Ling Rong almost laughed out loud.
She said that she loved Huanbi, but she was unwilling to marry her. How could the emperor believe her if she refused to make up her lie?
"There are countless people serving Lady Xu, so losing Huanbi is not a big deal.
If you are worried, I will give Concubine Xu a few more palace maids."
Prince Guo was still hesitant. He glanced at Huanbi and said, "This... but those people are not what Concubine Xu is used to. I'm afraid they are reluctant to let Huanbi leave."
Prince Guo refused again and again, and the emperor's dissatisfaction rose again, "I didn't expect that the Seventeenth Prince would care so much about my Concubine Xu."
As soon as he said this, Prince Guo immediately realized that his attitude was too obvious. He glanced at Huanbi and said, "It's mainly because Huanbi has been with Concubine Xu for a long time, and I really can't bear to let her go."
Huanbi immediately spoke up, echoing Prince Guo's words, "I grew up with Concubine Xu, and I really don't want to leave and leave the young lady alone in the palace.
If Liu Zhu was still here, I could still feel a little relieved, but..."
"Liu Zhu?"
The emperor didn't remember which one Liu Zhu was at all. It was only when Lingrong mentioned it in a low voice that he remembered that she was the one who followed Yu Guan's woman.
"Liu Zhu has committed a serious crime and is still in the Ministry of Punishment. He cannot return to Concubine Xu for a while."
In fact, the mistakes made by Yu Ying'er and Liu Zhu were all instigated by Nian Da Ying.
The reason why the emperor has not dealt with the matter until now is just to wait for the Nian family to fall, and then he can put the blame on these two people for all the mistakes made by Nian Shilan and spare her life.
Although she could not be given the position of concubine as before, she could still be made a concubine or even a noble lady.
"Your Majesty, when Concubine Xu was Concubine Wan, she had many servants around her.
For example, Aunt Jiaoyue is very much trusted by Concubine Xu.
If the emperor is worried that after Concubine Xu leaves Huanbi, there will be no suitable person to serve her, why not send Aunt Jiaoyue back? "
This Jiaoyue is the Queen's person. Lingrong laughed secretly in her heart. She didn't believe that the Queen would turn a blind eye to Zhen Huan's little trick.
The emperor doesn't know about Aunt Jiaoyue's problem, but Huanbi knows it.
Sending a questionable person to serve the young lady at this moment will only make her feel restricted.
Although Huanbi wanted to live with Prince Guo together, she was worried about Zhen Huan and was unwilling to leave Yuedi Yunju at this time.
She bowed her head slowly and saluted, "I don't want to leave you, my lady. I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life, and..."
Huanbi looked up at Prince Guo, then lowered her head again with red ears, "Besides, I know that my status is low and I am not a good match for you, Your Majesty. It is enough for you to say that you like me in this life."
Huanbi's words were a mixture of truth and falsehood. People who didn't know her would really think that she was a person who didn't ask for anything.
However, no matter how she plans today, she cannot, like in her previous life, become the second lady of the Nianhulu family and be on equal footing with Meng Jingxian because of Zhen Huan.
Even if she is recognized as a sister by Zhen Huan in this life, she can only be a concubine at most.
What's more, Zhen Huan may not necessarily recognize Huanbi as her sister.
"After all, it is your lifelong happiness, I believe Lady Xu will not stop it."
Lingrong smiled and spoke, as if she and Concubine Xu were close sisters, "Knowing that Huanbi has someone in her heart, I'm afraid Concubine Xu is eager to make the decision for her and marry her to the person she loves.
Your Majesty, what do you think? "
"Noble Lady Xu cares the most about the people around her," the emperor nodded, agreeing with Ling Rong's words, "You might as well tell Noble Lady Xu about this, so as not to delay Old Seventeen.
He finally met someone he truly loves, and I thought, no matter what, I must make him get what he wants."
"The emperor said so."
Lingrong also nodded. In the eyes of the emperor, the one Prince Guo liked at the moment was Huanbi. However, the emperor could not forget the relationship between Prince Guo and Zhen Huan. "In the past, when Prince Guo expressed his love, he liked to write love poems.
Now facing Huanbi, it is completely different, and he directly proved it with his actions. "
When the word love was mentioned, the three people except Lingrong looked a little strange.
The emperor, in particular, frowned, as if he was also wondering whether Prince Guo liked Concubine Xu or Huanbi.
Helped Concubine Xu to arrest people, helped Concubine Xu to speak for her, and even the letters exchanged between her and Concubine Xu.
It seems so unbelievable that he said he liked Huanbi at this moment.
Could it be that in Prince Guo's eyes, Concubine Xu is not as good as Huanbi?
"Matters of love cannot be measured by these external things, but there are always things like loving someone and loving their dog."
Prince Guo gave an ambiguous explanation. He always liked to play dumb in front of the emperor, waiting for the emperor to figure out his true meaning.
"No problem. Let's go directly to Yuedi Yunju tomorrow and talk with Concubine Xu about your affairs."
The emperor waved his hand, and as suspicion arose in his heart, his anger rose again.
However, he still remembered the new song Lingrong had mentioned, so he decided to board the ferry at night and go boating on the sea with Lingrong.
"It's just that it's too late at night. If you two want to meet, you'd better do it in the daytime.
Things like love can still see the light of day. "
The emperor said something meaningful and left with Lingrong.
The two men boarded the ferry and looked at Prince Guo and Huanbi standing there from a distance, not knowing what they were talking about.
As soon as he got on the boat, the emperor's expression turned completely cold, because after Ling Rong's words, how could he believe what Prince Guo said?
"I have been in the harem all day, and I didn't even know that Huanbi and Prince Guo were in love.
Tomorrow when the Emperor meets Concubine Xu, he must ask me how these two fell in love with each other."
Ling Rong pretended to be curious, smiling, "The prince and the maid, this is even more shocking than the story in the book."
"I will ask you about this tomorrow, but tonight, let me listen to the song you carefully prepared."
The two of them sang songs and talked about poetry on the ferry all night long, until late at night, when they could no longer hold on, they went to Pengdao Yaotai to sleep.
The next morning, the emperor hurried to attend court, leaving Lingrong alone on the island to sleep.
There was no need to pay respects to the Empress today, so Ling Rong slept peacefully until breakfast time was past, and then she woke up leisurely.
"The young lady slept for a long time. It seems that she is not in a hurry to know about Huanbi and Prince Guo."
Zhaoshui wrung out a handkerchief to clean Lingrong's face, and teased her with a smile on his face.
"Don't worry, because I know everything. But... I'm curious about what kind of expression Concubine Xu will have when she finds out."
"That's a pity. My Lord can't see it with his own eyes."
Zhaoshui was actually a little curious, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the young lady was not the empress, and she could not interfere in the affairs of other concubines.
"It doesn't matter. As long as we know the identity of Huanbi when she married into Prince Guo's palace, we can guess what Concubine Xu is thinking."
The Emperor and Zhen Huan did not let Lingrong wait too long. That afternoon, news came out that Huanbi would marry into Prince Guo's mansion as a concubine.
Zhen Huan did adopt Huanbi as her sister, but only in her own name, not the Zhen family's.
The tablet of Huanbi's mother still could not be enshrined in the Zhen family ancestral hall, and Huanbi could only keep it with her. She was still the mistress with no name or status.
But no matter what, Huanbi fulfilled her wish and married Prince Guo, whom she loved.
As for whether the two people can be like they were in their previous lives, there is no way of knowing.
After all, Meng Jingxian is not stupid. She is now the mistress of Prince Guo’s mansion. She will definitely not make things easy for Huanbi who has just entered the mansion.
"Lady Xu has done her best and even accepted her personal maid as her sister."
Zhaoshui's opinion of Concubine Xu has changed, but she still feels a little strange.
"If I were Lady Xu, I would ask Lord Zhen to adopt Huanbi as his adopted daughter instead of myself."
Lingrong saw the reason why Zhaoshui had a good impression of Concubine Xu. After all, the palace maids were of low status, and if one day they found out that their mistress treated them as sisters, they would naturally feel comforted and felt that they were respected.
"Don't worry, if our Zhaoshui takes a fancy to a young man from a certain family, I will definitely ask my father to adopt you as his adopted daughter.
As long as she is not a royal relative like Prince Guo, it will be no problem for her to be the legal wife."
"My lady!" Zhaoshui's cheeks quickly turned red. She turned her head away and dared not look at Lingrong. "My lady, why are you teasing me again? You were clearly talking about Huanbi's matter."
"Isn't this because we are worried that Zhaoshui has been deceived by Concubine Xu and has foolishly believed that she is a good person?"
Lingrong said it bluntly, telling Zhaoshui not to trust others as if they had been drugged for just a small thing they did for him.
Zhen Huan does have this kind of charm, but the servants around her must not think that Zhen Huan is a good person.
Otherwise, how can they unite to face the outside world and make life difficult for Zhen Huan?
A few days after the news spread, Huanbi was married quietly and was carried in a sedan chair through a side door into Prince Guo's mansion.
At the same time, Huanbi successfully informed Prince Guo of what Zhen Huan was going to do, but without Shen Meiyu's help, Prince Guo didn't know how to bribe Shen Zishan.
In the end, it was Huanbi who told Prince Guo that Shen Meizhuang had an affair with Wen Shichu and was pregnant with his child.
Although Prince Guo was somewhat shocked, he did not make any negative comments about what Shen Meizhuang did. After all, in the eyes of Prince Guo, true love is more important than ethics. As long as Wen and Shen are truly in love, it is understandable that they did something so shocking.
After all, the current emperor is the most heartless and has no sincerity towards the women in the harem. It is even supportable to make people sad and desperate, and cause the concubines to choose others.
Just like himself and Huan'er, they can be blessed and protected.
At first, Prince Guo was unwilling to use the matter of Shen Meizhuang to threaten Shen Zishan, but after several contacts, Shen Zishan did not waver at all, and even began to doubt the intentions of Prince Dun and Prince Guo.
In desperation, Prince Guo told Shen Zishan what Shen Meizhuang had done, trying to get Shen Zishan's help.
But the night Shen Zishan received the news, he became so anxious that he fell ill and slept for three days and three nights without waking up.
Shen Meizhuang was so anxious that she was running around in the Bitong Academy, but she didn't know that it was because of the things she had done that her father fell into a coma.
