An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Lingrong originally thought that the Empress would take action against Concubine Tian as soon as possible, but she did not expect that as spring passed and summer came, the Empress remained silent, as if she was truly a kind and loving Empress.

"The Third Prince made a scene in Jingren Palace again last night. I heard that he wanted to go see Li Changzai.

But the Queen Mother did not allow it, so the Third Prince burst into tears and kept telling us how much he missed his biological mother.

In the palace, rumors about the Third Prince can be heard everywhere.

I think the Queen Mother did it on purpose, letting everyone in the harem take a look at the Third Prince, the prince who is ungrateful for his upbringing.

It was the Emperor who put Concubine Li under house arrest, not her, Ulanala. If the Third Prince continued to make noise, it would not only disgust the Emperor, but would also cause the Empress to reconsider whether to support another prince.

"My lady, these rumors are not good for the Third Prince's reputation.

Your Majesty, are you just going to let the rumors spread like this without doing anything to stop them?"

"I don't know what the Queen is up to," Lingrong and Zhaoshui walked to the gate of Jingren Palace and happened to see Xia Dongchun, "but she has reasons for everything she does. We should be careful and must not come into contact with the Third Prince these days."

Seeing Concubine Xia getting closer, Zhaoshui didn't say anything. She just nodded, then helped Lingrong stop and waited for Concubine Xia to go and pay her respects to the Queen Mother together.

"The weather is getting hotter," Xia Dongchun wiped the sweat from her forehead, using the silk handkerchief that Lingrong had embroidered for her. "This sweat can't be wiped away, it sticks to my face and is very annoying."

Ling Rong looked at the handkerchief and understood Xia Dongchun's series of small actions. "The texture of the handkerchief is smooth, and it is not very suitable for absorbing water and wiping sweat.

If Lady Xia doesn't mind, please come and sit with me after paying your respects and see if there are any other handkerchiefs that you like."

"How can I do this?" Xia Dongchun pretended to decline. "You worked so hard to embroider it. I'm sure I'll feel uneasy if I take it away for nothing."

"If you feel guilty, you don't have to do it." Ling Rong glanced at Xia Dongchun and walked into the main hall first.

Xia Dongchun didn't expect that she had only said a few polite words and the handkerchief was gone, so she hurriedly chased in and asked Lingrong for two handkerchiefs before she was willing to give up.

In stark contrast to the joyful atmosphere between the two, the people sitting in the main hall all had serious expressions on their faces, and no one knew what had just happened.

"What happened? Why is the atmosphere so cold?"

"It's the Third Prince. He didn't go to morning reading this morning and rushed to Changchun Palace without caring about anything.

He said that Li Changzai was ill, and he was worried and couldn't concentrate on reading. "

Concubine Tian glanced at the Queen and saw that she did not show any displeasure. She continued to talk in a low voice with Ling Rong, "The Queen sent someone to ask the Third Prince to leave Changchun Palace, but was sternly refused. I heard that Jianqiu was slapped by the Third Prince."

"There's nothing wrong with the Third Prince caring about his biological mother."

The Queen actually heard their conversation clearly. "It's just that he shouldn't be so excited. He should go back to the Emperor or me and get permission before going."

"Is Concubine Li unwell? She makes Third Prince so worried." Seeing that no one responded in the hall, Concubine Chun spoke up so that the Empress would not be too embarrassed.

"I have indeed been feeling a little unwell these past two days. I have already called the imperial physician to see him. In fact, it is just a fever, and it will be fine after taking medicine.

I just don’t know who told the Third Prince and who deliberately exaggerated it, causing the Third Prince to be so unruly.”

Although the queen wanted to test everyone, all the concubines had a wooden face and did not show any strange expression.

"After the Third Prince finishes school, the Queen will ask him in person. If someone is really deliberately instigating her, she must not be let off easily."

Chun Changzai's belly was getting bigger and bigger, but her limbs were still thin, which looked really scary.

But her movements were so large that she felt like she would slide off the chair in the next second and fall to the ground screaming in pain.

Although Lingrong was far away, she still subconsciously turned her body away and did not dare to look directly at Chun Changzai.

"It's just hard for Jianqiu, I'm afraid..."

"Jianqiu did something wrong, and she deserves to be punished." The Queen's face suddenly turned cold. She glanced at Chun Changzai's belly and quickly changed her tone, "In two months, it will be your due date. You don't have to come to Jingren Palace every day to pay respects. You should take good care of your health."

"Ever since the incident with Imperial Concubine Jing, I dare not use her anymore."

Concubine Chun stroked her belly, with more worry on her face than the sweetness of being a mother. "I have been thinking all day long about how long it will take to give birth, but the days go by day by day, and there is no end in sight.

Sometimes I even think that if I had not conceived a child, I could still be as happy as before."

Concubine Chun is still young and her childishness has not completely faded away, but she has to become a mother. Even after being pregnant for ten months, it is difficult for her to become mature and reliable immediately.

Therefore, all she could think about was giving birth to this "burden", regaining her freedom as soon as possible, and enjoying her former happiness again.

"When you give birth to a prince, you will know that having a child is a blessing in life."

No one knows how the queen sneered in her heart, but many women in the palace have not become pregnant since they entered the palace.

To everyone, what Concubine Chun said was no different from showing off.

As expected, Xia Dongchun only snorted, "If your sister Xu heard this, I don't know how sad she would be.

If it weren't for the conspiracy by Mrs. Nian, I'm afraid she would have a son to raise.

But Chun Changzai has this blessing, but she would rather not have it, but it’s really…”

Xia Dongchun acted as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. She looked at the many concubines in the palace who had no children and sighed as if she felt sorry for them.

Concubine Chun didn't expect Xia Dongchun to jump out and act out such a drama. Although she still felt that this child was hindering her fun, she quickly changed her words to avoid attracting everyone's jealous eyes towards herself.

"It seems that Sister Xia misunderstood Chun'er's meaning," Concubine Chun showed a very cheerful smile, "Chun'er meant that having a child means having a weak spot.

If I accidentally hurt the child, I don’t know how sad I would be.

That’s why I said that if she wasn’t pregnant, it would be fine. She wouldn’t have to face so many dangers while still in the womb.”

Seeing Xia Dongchun's disdainful look again, Concubine Chun's smile deepened, "People's hearts are hidden, Chun'er's worry is not excessive.

Look, I didn't say anything just now, but Sister Xia made an impassioned speech, saying that I didn't want to have children.

If I wasn't here today, I don't know what would be spread about it.

If the Emperor heard these rumors, wouldn't it only add to his troubles and make him dislike me?

Your Majesty, you must help Chun Er prove her innocence to the Emperor."

"You are quite eloquent. You accused me of slandering you in just a few words."

Xia Dongchun was not afraid of Concubine Chun's remarks. She snorted and rolled her eyes at Concubine Chun.

"If you really like it, you wouldn't have said those annoying words just now."

As the tension grew, the queen remained unmoved. She just held her forehead, as if she didn't hear the quarrel at all.

After all, this was the scene she liked to see the most. What did it matter if they quarreled in Jingren Palace? It would be fair to them to fight each other outside Jingren Palace to justify what had happened today.

However, she still had to consider her reputation as the queen. After Concubine Chun and Concubine Xia had another round of quarrel, the queen spoke quietly and pretended to stop the two of them.

"You are arguing in Jingren Palace like this. Don't you think I am serious?"

Concubine Chun and Concubine Xia immediately lowered their heads. Xia Dongchun was more decisive. She stood up and saluted the Empress, saying, "I dare not."

Chun Changzai also wanted to get up, but seemed to think that the Empress would stop her, so she hesitated to stand up.

Unfortunately, the Queen Mother never spoke, so she had no choice but to bow to the Queen Mother and apologize despite her big belly.

"Get up, I won't bother with you about today's matter.

But you two must remember that Jingren Palace is not a place for you to act recklessly, and you must be careful with your words and actions."

"Yes, Queen, I will learn from you."

After the two of them exchanged greetings again, the queen asked everyone to disperse.

Xia Dongchun and Concubine Chun were unable to return to their seats and left Jingren Palace with the crowd.

Xia Dongchun was obviously still angry. She followed Ling Rong all the way, thinking about what she had just said.

"I didn't even argue with that bitch," Xia Dongchun was so angry that his face fell, and he snorted heavily with his cheeks puffed up, "Next time I must take the initiative and make her mouth unable to utter a word."

"Why, do you still want to give her a slap and give her a good lecture?"

"Yes, beat her mouth until it is swollen and see if she can still speak sweetly."

Ling Rong recalled that in her previous life, Xia Dongchun wanted to slap herself and Zhen Huan and others. If Concubine Hua had not arrived in time, she would have had to endure the slap.

"You are just a noble, how can you have the power to discipline the concubines?

What's more, Chun Changzai is pregnant. Although her status seems to be the same as yours, her status is higher because she has a child.

If you really dare to slap her, at the very least you will have to apologize, or at worst you may be banished to the cold palace."

Xia Dongchun obviously didn't believe it. She frowned her two beautiful eyebrows and said with a tone full of doubt, "How can it be to the extent of being banished to the cold palace? It's just a slap in the face. At most, she can hit him back."

"When I first entered the palace, you were the one who reminded me of many etiquettes. How come I am no better than when I first entered the palace? I even forgot that I cannot overstep my authority."

"Those things were told to me by my father and mother when she entered the palace. Of course I know them."

Xia Dongchun wilted, but she still grumbled in dissatisfaction, "I never have to be so restrained at home. Whoever provokes me deserves to be beaten."

"This is in the palace, not your Xia family." Ling Rong stood in front of the Chengqian Palace, staring at Xia Dongchun's face seriously, "Everyone can take your life, maybe with power, maybe with poison, do you still think you can attack others at will?"

"I... am I really going to do it? Can't I just say something harsh?"

“Whether you are just saying something harsh or really want to do this, you know it much better than me.

Lady Xia, you have been smart for so long, please don't be stupid at this time."

Ling Rong was always worried that Xia Dongchun would accidentally do something stupid. After all, she didn't have the brains to scheme against others. If she went against Concubine Chun, she would be the only one who would suffer.

That's why Lingrong couldn't help but persuade her a few more times, hoping that it would be best to persuade Concubine Xia to give up this idea.

"Okay, okay, I won't do anything rash, at most I'll just have a verbal argument with her.

In this way, you can always rest assured, right? "

Hearing Ling Rong's indifferent "hmm", Xia Dongchun became a little anxious. She took another step forward and stood beside Ling Rong, "Can I go in now? I still want to play with You Ning."

Ling Rong nodded helplessly. She knew very well that Xia Dongchun didn't listen to what she said at all.

"I hope you can think carefully about what I said, Lady Xia."

"Okay, okay, I really understand."

Xia Dongchun entered the main hall before Lingrong. She didn't have time to say anything more to Lingrong and went directly to the side hall to find Youning.

However, Aunt Fang Jing stopped her because Youning felt a little unwell when he woke up in the morning, and Doctor He was taking Youning's pulse at this time.

"I forgot to tell you that Youning is feeling a little unwell today, so I'm afraid he can't play with you.

If you don't mind, Miss Xia, please follow me to pick out a few handkerchiefs that you like."

Xia Dongchun looked at Fang Jing, then turned to look at Ling Rong, hesitated for a moment, and then followed Ling Rong to pick out the handkerchief.

Finally, she returned to the Yanxi Palace with the handkerchief in her hands, feeling satisfied, and completely forgot what Lingrong had told her.

A few days later, she had an argument with Concubine Chun in the Imperial Garden. When the argument became intense, she even pushed Concubine Chun.

Fortunately, the maidservant followed her all the time, so Concubine Chun did not fall to the ground in the pushing and jostle.

However, because she almost fell, Concubine Chun was frightened and immediately had a miscarriage. She felt so much pain in her abdomen that she could hardly control herself in the Imperial Garden.

Xia Dongchun was already frightened silly. She stood there, not knowing what to do.

"My Lord, what should we do?"

Mingyu had obviously never seen such a scene before. She subconsciously stood in front of her master, fearing that someone would use this opportunity to attack Concubine Xia.

"What else can we do? Go find the imperial physician and make sure to save Concubine Chun's child."

Xia Dongchun's heart was pounding at this moment, but he could only try his best to calm himself down and think of ways to save the situation.

She quickly instructed everyone not to move Concubine Chun at will and just place her in the pavilion.

The maidservant beside Concubine Chun seemed to have found a backbone at this time, and immediately helped her master to sit down. Mingyu followed her master's instructions and quickly ran to the Imperial Hospital to ask the imperial physician for help.

Seeing that everyone was doing as he was told, Xia Dongchun felt somewhat relieved. However, when he saw Concubine Chun's appearance, he was still worried that she would have a miscarriage.
