An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"Yes, Madam, I may have entered the palace after that incident, so I was not clear about it just now."

"That's strange," Ling Rong said in surprise, "There was no talent show that year, so how did you get retained?"

Caiping was stunned for a moment. She had never thought that Concubine Sheng would actually get to the bottom of such a trivial matter as when she entered the palace.

I felt a little panicked, worried that my true identity would be revealed by her.

"The selection of palace maids is held once a year. I am listed in both the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Your Majesty can send someone to check. I was selected and entered the palace that year."

"You are so beautiful. If you were selected into the imperial palace at the same time as us, I'm afraid you would be kept by the emperor and become a noble."

Only you think being kept by the emperor is a good thing, Cai Ping muttered secretly. She shook her head and complimented Ling Rong, "Empress Sheng is as beautiful as a fairy, how could the emperor be interested in a humble concubine like me."

"Beautiful as a fairy? You are a good talker, but there are so many beauties in the palace, and my appearance is not as good as yours."

Ling Rong never thought that she was a very beautiful woman. Her slightly austere appearance and her submissive expression made it so that even if she had some beauty, it was overshadowed.

After being reborn and sitting on the throne of a concubine again, life is really different from before. When others flatter her, they will also talk about her beautiful appearance.

At least she didn't scold herself for being unworthy or having evil intentions, Ling Rong thought silently, "So do you want to serve the emperor?"

Caiping wanted to shake her head immediately, but she suddenly thought of her mission and hesitated again - although Prince Guo was now imprisoned in the mansion, he still had not withdrawn his mission, and even on the day when Concubine Xu was crowned as a concubine, he asked Gao Yi to hint to him to continue lying in wait.

I'm afraid Prince Guo is still trying to find an opportunity to kill the emperor, and becoming his concubine is indeed a good opportunity.

With Concubine Sheng's recommendation, even if the assassination failed, he could frame Concubine Sheng and save Prince Guo.

"I... naturally want to stop being a maid who does rough work, but since I entered the palace, I have never seen the emperor. I am afraid that I don't have that blessing."

He looked reluctant just now, but turned around and said he was willing. It seems that this person's identity is indeed not simple.

If it is related to Prince Guo, I wonder if he was an assassin sent into the palace. If so, then this would be an opportunity to harm the emperor.

However, you can't recommend her yourself, otherwise you will only get yourself into trouble.

The two people had their own thoughts at this time, but their goals were surprisingly the same. Unfortunately, the emperor was unaware of this.

"A thorny hairpin and a cloth skirt cannot hide your beauty. A place like a greenhouse where hundreds of flowers are blooming will naturally make your beauty even more beautiful.

As long as you are willing, if you walk before the emperor, you may have a chance to win his favor. "

Ling Rong deliberately sulked and told Zhao Shui to get the man out of Cheng Qian Palace. Zhao Shui understood his master's intention and was no longer as kind as before. He deliberately drove the man away with a cold face.

Seeing Caiping walking away in confusion, Zhaoshui reported back to Lingrong and told her everything about their encounter with the Third Prince.

"Third Prince is so young, but he really appreciates beauties. I'm afraid that when he goes to Jingren Palace today, he will try to ask the Empress to let Caiping serve him."

"But I think the Queen will not agree to this. The Third Prince is at the age of studying, and it is not good for him to be exposed to matters between men and women too early."

Lingrong fanned herself, wondering whether she should help Caiping and let her become the emperor's concubine as soon as possible.

If the Third Prince really likes Caiping, it is possible that a rift might arise between him and the Emperor, causing him to lose the Emperor's favor.

But Lingrong also knew that although the Third Prince was not very smart, he still had admiration and respect for the Emperor. If Caiping became a concubine, he might not have the courage to make trouble in front of the Emperor.

As for whether the emperor would take a fancy to Caiping, Lingrong had never seriously thought about it. After all, the emperor had favored two palace maids, Fuzi and Yu Ying'er, so it was not surprising that he would like one more.

"It's okay. The Third Prince should have asked you about Cai Ping. Today, stand guard at the gate of Chengqian Palace. When the Third Prince leaves Jingren Palace, tell him about the humiliation Cai Ping suffered in the flower room. He is the most compassionate person and will probably rush to the flower room to look for Cai Ping immediately."

"But if that's the case, then Cai Ping won't be able to become the emperor's concubine?"

"No, she will find a way herself. We just need to ask someone to help her see the emperor smoothly."

Ling Rong smiled meaningfully. She had to find a way to save He Anming anyway. Since there was no better way at the moment, she could only try a roundabout way.

If He Anming was lucky enough and Caiping happened to be the assassin planted in the palace by Prince Guo, he would really have a chance to save his life by saving the emperor.

If luck is bad... Lingrong could not help but sigh again. She could only think of other ways, such as asking the Queen Mother to get sick again.

However, if I harm the Queen Mother, I am afraid that I will be suspected. If Youning is taken away by then, I am afraid that I will not be able to raise this baby well.

Fortunately, the Third Prince's actions were all in line with Lingrong's guess. After listening to the gossip of Zhaoshui and others chatting on the roadside, he hurried to the flower room to see Caiping and asked her to follow him to serve the Prince.

In order to make Caiping believe him, he even said that he had received orders from the Queen Mother and would ask the Emperor for an order later.

When Cai Ping heard that she had to serve the Third Prince for no apparent reason, she felt like the sky was falling. She was clearly still thinking about how to kill the dog emperor, but now she was about to be taken away by this brat, the Third Prince.

Alarm bells rang in Caiping's mind, and she was anxiously thinking about how to reject the Third Prince.

"Third prince, please forgive me for rejecting your kindness." Cai Ping's voice was gentle, and it was indescribably comfortable to hear, but the words of rejection did not make Third Prince happy. "I like these flowers and plants. I hope Third Prince will allow me to continue to stay in the flower room."

"I know you are not happy in this flower house. How can a small patch of flowers compare to the colorful flowers in the imperial garden?

You have suffered enough humiliation, I hope you can relax a little."

Caiping didn't know where the Third Prince heard this, but she didn't have the heart to correct his thoughts at this moment. She just kept saying that she didn't want to go to the Prince's residence, and that there were no young women in the Prince's residence except for the older maids.

"Please Third Prince, please consider this servant and don't force her."

"I know what you are worried about. Wait a minute. I will ask the Emperor to rescue you from this sea of ​​suffering."

The more Caiping refused, the more the Third Prince insisted. He remembered what the Empress Dowager had said, that since his biological mother was not around to take care of him, the Emperor would always be more partial to him, so as long as he begged the Emperor, this palace maid would become his.

Unfortunately, when the Third Prince went to the Yangxin Palace to plead for mercy, he came to nothing. The eunuch told him that the Emperor had gone to visit Concubine Sheng and it was unknown when he would be back.

The Third Prince was not familiar with Ling Rong, and it was not a good idea for him to rush directly to Chengqian Palace to plead with the Emperor. He could only wait in the Imperial Garden and hope for an "encounter" by chance.

Although Lingrong was accompanying the emperor in the palace, she knew the situation in the imperial garden and the greenhouse very well. She intended to show the emperor the flowers in the octagonal vase and suggested that she wish to replace some lotus flowers in the vase.

"I want to pick some lotus flowers myself, but now that I am pregnant, I dare not go out alone."

Ling Rong held her belly and leaned on the emperor's shoulder with a pitiful look on her face. "Your Majesty, would you like to accompany me to the flower room?"

The emperor wanted to say these were small matters and ask the servants to do them, but when he looked down and saw Lingrong's eyes, he could not say the words of refusal.

Well, this girl must have been bored in the palace, so she used the excuse of picking flowers to ask me to accompany her for a walk.

"Since Rong'er likes it, let's go and take a look. Maybe they have cultivated some new varieties."

Ling Rong naturally nodded happily, and the two of them went out together without calling for a sedan chair.

Without any accident, the two met the Third Prince in the Imperial Garden. He tried to plead with the Emperor, but was choked back by Ling Rong's words "How is your education?"

"It's still early, why don't you study in the palace, but come to wander around in the imperial garden? Are you ready to study at university today?"

"In reply to the Emperor, I have finished my university studies. The way of university studies is to manifest the bright virtues..."

When the Third Prince heard the Emperor asking him, he subconsciously began to recite the entire text, but the Emperor didn't want to hear how familiar he was with it at this time.

"Now that you have memorized it, let's talk about how to achieve perfection and how to achieve it."

"…This means to reach the most perfect state. As for how to achieve it, I, your son, have not yet learned it."

The emperor sighed. What he asked was already the simplest question, but Hongshi still couldn't answer it, and he didn't know where the book went.

"If you memorize the book all day without understanding it, it is useless to read it."

As Lingrong was still there, the emperor was not too angry. He endured it again and again and asked the third prince to go back to the prince's residence and copy the entire text of the university twice to fully understand its meaning.

"Father, I will go back to study now. However, I have one more request. Please allow me to do so."

Studying is one's own business, but one keeps delaying it, and even makes agreeing to his request a condition for studying.

The emperor was even more furious, but he still had the nerve to ask the Third Prince to speak, wanting to hear what his urgent needs were.

"Today, I met a palace maid who was bullied in the palace. I would like to ask the emperor to show mercy and allow the maid to serve me."

"What did you say?"

The emperor was already burning with rage at this point, he had never imagined that the Third Prince, at such a young age, was thinking about all sorts of romantic things, which was truly a shame to his ancestors and a disgrace to the Aisin-Gioro family.

The Third Prince was still unaware of the Emperor's anger. He ignored Ling Rong's attempts to comfort him and resolutely spoke again, asking the Emperor to allow the woman to serve him.

The emperor's face turned completely dark, and he stared at the chattering Third Prince until the latter slowly closed his mouth.

"Go back to your brother's school and don't let me say this a second time."

"Your Majesty! This is all I ask, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that the Emperor followed Concubine Sheng away, the Third Prince didn't care about being afraid and immediately wanted to rush forward to continue begging for mercy.

Su Peisheng stayed and stopped the Third Prince, "Third Prince, please forgive me for being rude. The Emperor asked the Third Prince to go back to school, which means he rejected your request.

Please don't damage the relationship between father and son for a palace maid."

"You still want to teach me a lesson?" The Third Prince's temper also came up at this time. He pushed Su Peisheng, but found that the latter did not move at all, and even had that disgusting smile on his face.

"Xiao Jiang, help the Third Prince back to the Prince's Residence. It's getting dark. Be careful with your steps. If you drop the Third Prince, the Emperor will not forgive you."

Xiao Jiang agreed hurriedly, but he felt extremely bitter in his heart. This was not about the emperor not forgiving me for falling down the Third Prince. This was about asking me to take the Third Prince away quickly and not let the emperor continue to be angry.

However, no matter what Xiao Jiang thought, Su Peisheng politely said goodbye to the Third Prince, and returned to the Emperor despite the Third Prince's shouting.

It was a pity for the young eunuch Xiao Jiang, who could only try his best to stop his master, to avoid having his life ruined by his master's words.

On the other side, Lingrong was comforting the emperor, saying that the Third Prince was young and should read the book slowly.

"I have high hopes for Hongshi. But as the eldest son, he is really not very capable.

He was no match for Hong Zhou, who had been in poor health for many years and rarely read books.

Today, you are still so stubborn and have been bewitched by a palace maid, forgetting what you should do."

This was what Ling Rong wanted to achieve, so she naturally would not continue to comfort him. Instead, she mentioned other princes for comparison, "Your Majesty, some are better at leading troops, some are better at making plans, and some are better at observing worldly affairs and criticizing current ills.

Your Majesty has many children, and they all have different strengths. I think that Your Majesty should give him more time.

You never know, these princes are the talents the country needs."

The emperor naturally thought of his several princes. Now Lingrong and Tianpin are both pregnant at the same time, so perhaps they can give birth to two more princes.

There is no rush to choose a crown prince, just take your time to pick the most suitable candidate.

"Rong'er is right. Everyone has their own aspirations. I'm afraid Hongshi hasn't found the direction he is best at yet. I am a little anxious."

"Yes, Your Majesty. As for the maid, it must be that the Third Prince saw her being bullied and felt sympathy for her, so he begged Your Majesty many times.

I think that the Third Prince is a kind-hearted person."

The emperor seemed to be moved by what he said. He took Lingrong's hand and patted it gently again and again, "Rong'er is the most gentle and virtuous, and she has won my heart."

As the two were talking, the door of the greenhouse opened. Caiping was holding a bunch of cannas that were still dripping with water in her arms, and was looking at the emperor helplessly.
