An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

After Concubine Jing recovered, the preparations for the ceremony of conferring her the title of Concubine officially began. Although there was no separate ceremony for Lingrong, all the necessary etiquette was followed.

The emperor had been accompanying Lingrong in a side hall even before the ceremony began, which made the concubines in the harem jealous and they kept glaring at Lingrong.

But no matter whether they felt jealous or thought Lingrong was unworthy, the ceremony of conferring the title of concubine ended smoothly. From today on, Lingrong was the legitimate Concubine Sheng, and no one could question her anymore.

At the same time, He Anming also found out that Ling Rong was pregnant again. This double happiness made everyone in Chengqian Palace happy for a long time.

But for the sake of safety, Lingrong did not inform the emperor of the news of her pregnancy.

After all, she had just been promoted to the position of concubine, and there was no way the emperor would promote her again.

In the end, the reward will only go to my father, and he will be promoted to a higher position.

Although his father was a hopeless person, his promotion to a higher position would bring him greater benefits, so it was not completely unacceptable to him.

Just be careful and tell your father not to do anything evil to squeeze the people's money and anger the emperor.

The only good news now is that Concubine Tian and Concubine Chun are both pregnant. The Queen's attention will not be focused only on herself, and it will not be as difficult to guard against her as it was when she was pregnant with Youning.

But Concubine Tian's pregnancy also brought a new problem, that is, He Anming could not just take care of himself and not take care of Concubine Tian.

Lingrong was somewhat worried that such a skilled imperial physician was not around. After all, the queen was an expert in medicine, and her methods were difficult to detect. Imperial Concubine Jing was killed silently, and there was no evidence to be found.

"My lady, you have forgotten what Doctor He said again."

As the weather gradually got warmer, the prepared tea began to reach room temperature. It really felt tepid and unpalatable when I drank it.

"The imperial physician's words are not an imperial decree, so you don't have to obey them all the time."

“But…” Zhao Shui subconsciously reached out to feel Ling Rong’s pulse. Her pulse was smooth and strong, indicating that she was indeed in good health. “Although I am not well-trained, I also know how much harm thinking too much can do to the body.

When it comes to curing illnesses and saving lives, a doctor’s words are more unquestionable than an imperial decree.”

"Yes, yes, Doctor Zhaoshui, I will obey your instructions. I don't want to think about anything else. I will wait for you to serve me well."

Zhao Shui nodded repeatedly and pushed the bowl of tea over, "Drink more water, madam, your lips are dry and chapped.

Spring is here, so please don't let your temper get any worse.

Besides, even without Imperial Physician He, we still have Imperial Physician Wei.

The reason why Her Majesty had supported Imperial Physician Wei so early on was to deal with the situation today, wasn't it?

Now is the right time, your Majesty, what do you have to worry about?"

Under Zhaoshui's watchful eyes, Lingrong finally finished the glass of water. Although she was still a little worried, she was indeed comforted by Zhaoshui's words.

Apart from He Anming, he still had the Imperial Physician Wei to use, so he wouldn't be completely unaware of the Queen's plot against him.

"Fortunately, you are by my side. I feel much better now."

Lingrong smiled and praised Zhaoshui. Although this maidservant was not as capable of doing great things as Jianqiu, she was loyal and had a quick mind. Having her by her side made her feel more at ease.

"It's a pity that my medical skills are not good enough, and I can't let Your Majesty rest assured like Imperial Doctor He or Imperial Doctor Wei."

"You've done very well. If you want to improve further, then finish reading the remaining medical books." Ling Rong knew that Zhao Shui had been a bit lazy during this period, so she teased her on purpose to make her more flustered.

Zhaoshui was relatively calm, not embarrassed by being caught being lazy, "This medical book is not that easy to understand. After reading it, I need to ponder it for a long time before I can understand it."

"I don't know when our Divine Doctor Zhaoshui will be able to surpass Imperial Doctor He, so that I can sit back and relax and walk around the palace with ease."

Zhaoshui murmured that he might have to wait a few more years, but when he saw Lingrong's mischievous smile, he knew that his queen was making fun of him again.

"My queen, you are becoming more and more lively. It seems that the little master in your belly is also naughty. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well all night."

"If he's naughty, you'll be asked to take care of him, but you can't just sit there and watch the master make a fool of himself."

The two were chatting and laughing when they heard Concubine Tian and Noble Lady Xia asking for a meeting. They were already sitting in the main hall drinking tea.

It was rare for these two people to come to see her together, and Lingrong also became a little interested, so she asked Zhaoshui to prepare some of their favorite drinks so that they could have a more enjoyable chat.

"Empress Sheng is so long in coming. Could it be that now that she has become a concubine, she has forgotten us sisters?"

Xia Dongchun's tone was frivolous, with a hint of sarcasm, which not only did not make people angry, but also amused them.

"From now on, I will definitely keep my bed ready for you every day, waiting for Concubine Tian and Concubine Xia to come here hand in hand, so that we can have some interesting sisterly conversations."

"I have to come to see you every day, wouldn't that be annoying? Don't you think so, Concubine Tian?"

Concubine Tian just smiled a little, and her words were not as sharp as before, "I am not a concubine yet, but you two keep calling me 'Madam'. If the Empress hears this, she will definitely say that you are overstepping your authority."

Although she said so, Lingrong saw that Concubine Tian seemed to be enjoying it, so she did not change her name and let herself be secretly happy.

The three of them chatted and laughed for a while before Concubine Tian spoke about the purpose of her visit today - she had recently discovered that Jianqiu, who was by the Empress's side, often came to the Yanx Palace. Sometimes she came to bring gifts to the Empress, and sometimes she simply came to chat with the maids in her own palace.

"What did Jianqiu say to those palace maids?"

"In fact, it was just some words of warning, telling them to serve well and pay more attention to me and the heir on weekdays, and not to listen to the instigation of others and make irreparable mistakes."

Concubine Tian recalled the information she had found out, but still did not notice anything unusual.

But she was displeased with Jianqiu's behavior of beating the palace maids in her palace, and she had completely banned them from serving her in the past few days.

"What Jianqiu said doesn't sound strange.

But her purpose in coming to find the maids in your palace is definitely not simple. I am afraid she wants to find out the situation in Yanxi Palace so that she can bribe a few maids to serve the queen. "

Now that all three of them had been harmed by the Queen, they no longer had so many scruples when chatting privately. Ling Rong directly pointed out that the Queen had evil intentions, but these two people did not show any surprise.

"That's what I thought, so I deliberately avoided them.

But this is not a long-term solution, and I can't rely on Sonny to take care of me alone."

When Lingrong heard this, she subconsciously looked at Xia Dongchun. She remembered that some time ago, Xia Dongchun said that most of the servants serving Concubine Tian were palace maids sent by the Fucha family.

"The Fucha family is prosperous. Why not ask your father to find a way to send a few reliable maids into the palace? That way, you don't have to worry about them being turned against you."

"That's easy for you to say. The next draft is still several months away. It's not that easy to stuff someone in at this time."

Concubine Tian was not satisfied with Lingrong's idea. She snorted and couldn't even drink her favorite tea.

“The maids were bought for money, family and future.

With Concubine Tian's current status and family power, it is not difficult to satisfy them.

After the generous reward was handed out, they would naturally not be tempted by the petty profits offered by Jianqiu. "

Ling Rong really couldn't give any suggestions on disciplining the palace servants. Either give them enough money, or beat them into submission. Other than that, there seemed to be no better way.

To exchange sincerity for sincerity? Lingrong herself no longer had sincerity, and she did not think that someone as high and mighty as Concubine Tian would have any sincerity towards the servants.

"Behind Jianqiu is the Empress. In terms of power and status, who can compare to the Empress?"

So what? Ling Rong asked herself in her heart, as long as Ulanara was still sitting on the throne, no one in the harem could be more noble than her.

If we want to solve this problem thoroughly, we must start from the root and remove the Queen from the throne.

She, Fu Cha, is qualified to be the queen, but I don't know if she has the ambition to do so.

"In that case, there is only one way." Ling Rong deliberately did not say it directly. She looked at Concubine Tian's face, paying attention to every subtle expression, "But this method also depends on whether Concubine Tian has this ambition."

Concubine Tian was not a fool after all. She took a sip of tea and said, "This method is good, but it is not easy to implement. Besides, it is a serious crime."

Ling Rong tilted her head and shrugged, indicating that she had no other ideas. However, she fell silent, which made Concubine Tian anxious. "Do you have any good ideas?"

"Tianpin also knows that my family background is not good. Although I have a princess by my side, I can't compare to the prince.

There are many things that I dare not think about or do. "

"It seems that Concubine Sheng is not going to help me?" Concubine Tian had a cold face. She was about to threaten Lingrong, but saw the other party shook her head first.

"In this palace, besides her, only you, Concubine Tian, ​​are qualified to sit in that position, so why wouldn't I want to help you?" Ling Rong looked at Xia Dongchun who was standing aside. The latter had a confused look on her face, and obviously didn't understand what they were talking about.

"It's so tiring to talk to you." Lady Tian muttered, "Then do you have any good ideas? Don't be so hesitant. It makes me anxious."

"Princess Tian, ​​it is too difficult to bring her down, unless we can find solid evidence and put it before the emperor.

But think about it, since we entered the palace until now, what evidence can we produce as the fatal arrow?"

"This..." Concubine Tian thought of the musk beads given by the Queen, and also of the schemes that An Lingrong had suffered. She really couldn't make the Emperor believe her.

"It seems that you have thought it through. What we need to do now is to find a way to catch her in the act, so that she has no chance to defend herself and the emperor will have no choice but to deal with her."

“It’s really not an easy thing to do.”

Concubine Tian finally understood the reason why Lingrong hesitated. She couldn't help but sigh and put her hand on her belly.

"You two are really too bold." Xia Dongchun finally realized that these two people were plotting against the queen. "Aren't you afraid that someone will tell others about it?

"No one in my Chengqian Palace will talk nonsense, unless it's you who has remained silent, Lady Xia."

"Tsk," Xia Dongchun frowned, and almost rolled her eyes at Lingrong, "I won't tell her that someone contacted me before I entered the palace, saying that they would support me to rise to the top.

In the end, he turned around and used musk to harm me, hoping that I would not be able to have children. People like this better get into bad luck. "

"Then there's no need to worry." Ling Rong still had a smiling face, which made Xia Dongchun feel a chill. He felt that she was just like a fox.

"The best way is to get involved yourself," Lingrong reminded Concubine Tian again, "The emperor cares most about his offspring. If the royal heir is threatened or harmed, he will definitely not sit idly by."

Lingrong was completely certain that the Queen would soon take action against Concubine Tian, ​​but she didn't know what method she would use.

Therefore, she couldn't think of any way to help Concubine Tian and could only wait for the Queen to take action so that she could counter her moves.

"But the Queen may take action at any time. It is best for Concubine Tian to ask the imperial physician to check her residence from time to time, so as to avoid being tricked without knowing it."

Only after Lingrong passed on all her "experience" to Concubine Tian did she send the two people away.

It's just that Xia Dongchun came back and went to the side hall to play with Youning. I don't know whether she really likes children or she just doesn't want to stay in Yanxi Palace.

But when she came, Lingrong had to accompany her, lest others would find out and think that Lingrong was too rude.

It’s just that Xia Dongchun never said anything to Ling Rong and was really serious about playing with You Ning.

Sometimes she was sewing the little rabbit, and sometimes she was carrying Youning and teaching her how to walk. She ran around without looking tired at all.

It was not until dinner time that Xia Dongchun was about to leave, still unsatisfied. "I really don't know if Concubine Tian can keep her child. If only she were as cute as Youning, she could play with me."

Ling Rong really didn't expect that Xia Dongchun, who loves beauty and coquettishness, actually likes playing with children so much. "Why do you like children so much? I thought you would dislike them getting your Suzhou embroidery dirty."

"It's because this palace is too boring, and it's not like I can ride a horse in the garden," Xia Dongchun snorted, "The emperor doesn't like me either, so I have to think of some fun on my own.

But... you really want to send that Concubine Tian to the position of Queen, the Fucha clan is not someone you can easily deal with, so you better be careful!"
