An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

The Empress's test made Lingrong give up Tangdi, and also made her give up a chess piece.

Lingrong had already sent people to take care of the remaining palace maids in Chengqian Palace, including their families.

Because of this, Ling Rong had almost spent all her savings and could only live a tight life in the palace.

But the good thing is that there is no need to worry about anything. The Queen's people have tried to infiltrate many times, but in the end they always failed.

It was not until a month later, when Concubine Tian had finished her confinement, that the Empress took the opportunity when Concubine Tian came to express her gratitude and asked Concubine Qi to follow Concubine Tian to Chengqian Palace.

The first time she saw Concubine Qi, Lingrong knew that the Queen was making a move.

However, apart from the problem with the bead, Ling Rong didn't see anything else about her.

Could it be that the Queen Mother is planning to ask Concubine Qi to come over every day and use this little musk to make her have an abortion?

"What are you thinking about? I just said a few words and you stared blankly."

Concubine Tian waved her handkerchief in front of Lingrong, her tone rather displeased, "Why, you don't like me coming to look for you, do you dislike my noise?"

"How could that be? The presence of Concubine Tian has brought glory to my humble Chengqian Palace. I am so happy that I cannot contain myself. How could I find you noisy?"

Ling Rong answered Concubine Tian with a few words, which made her laugh happily. "This is the first time Concubine Qi has come here. Could it be that she needs my help for something?"

"No, I just thought that I hadn't paid a proper visit to Concubine Sheng yet, so I begged Sister Tian to bring me here."

Oh, they even called Sister Tian. Lingrong looked at Concubine Tian mischievously, causing the latter to get goose bumps without knowing why.

"You two can chat about your own things. Why are you looking at me?" Concubine Tian changed the subject and stood up to go see Youning. "Youning can call me mother now, right? I'll go see her."

"You brought Concubine Qi with you, why did you run away first?" Ling Rong stopped Concubine Tian's actions, "We are not that familiar with each other, I am afraid that we will not be able to entertain you well, you should just stay with her obediently."

"What kind of poor hospitality? Are you afraid that she will outshine you because she's young and pretty?"

"Look, look. You still hate me for saying that you are old and ugly," Lingrong joked with a smile. Concubine Tian snorted and took Sang'er to the side hall to find Youning.

Concubine Qi was not afraid of strangers. She took the initiative to sit next to Lingrong and the first thing she said was "Sister Sheng".

Lingrong raised her eyebrows in surprise. She didn't think that Concubine Qi was the type to call everyone sister or younger. She wasn't the innocent Concubine Chun.

"Lady Qi called me so affectionately, could she really want something from me?"

"No, I just fell in love with my sister when I saw her. If I had the chance to live with her, I would be so happy all day long.

I can’t talk to my sisters at home, but when I meet my sister, I have a lot to say.”

So you were waiting for me here. Ling Rong nodded thoughtfully. She did not reply, but just watched Concubine Qi talk endlessly about intimate things until she was tired. Then she slowly responded, "It's a pity that I have not been in good health recently. I need to rest for this baby."

Lingrong did not mention the emperor's oral order not to allow other concubines to live in Chengqian Palace, otherwise Concubine Qi would not be able to maintain her smiling expression.

Such a beautiful face should keep smiling to make yourself feel pleasing to the eye.

"I think it's because my sister is bored in the palace that she feels depressed. I can accompany her for a walk every day and stroll in the imperial garden. She will feel more relaxed."

Ling Rong pretended to be embarrassed and sighed, "It's a pity that I often feel uncomfortable due to fetal movement. The imperial physician has repeatedly advised me not to walk around and move around. It's best to rest in the palace."

Concubine Qi was choked again, and the smile on her face could hardly be maintained, which made Lingrong feel happy just by looking at her.

"I didn't expect that Concubine Qi likes to wander around. Concubine Tian just came out of confinement recently, so she must be feeling bored. Wouldn't it be better if you two sisters could wander around more?"

"This...I originally wanted to get closer to Sister Shengfei."

"The fact that you can come and talk to me today shows that we are already very close sisters.

There’s no need to do all this walking together, talking all day long, or anything like that.”

Seeing that Concubine Qi was about to speak, Ling Rong interrupted her again. She pointed at the string of beads and said, "Sister, these beads are so beautiful. Are they a gift from the Emperor?"

"This was given by the Empress. She said that the color is fresh and it is most suitable for a young and beautiful concubine like me."

"My sister is indeed a beauty, no wonder the Emperor and the Empress both like her.

I think it won’t be long before my sister gets good news about her pregnancy.”

Lingrong raised her handkerchief to cover her nose. Fortunately, she had a scent pill hanging around her waist, otherwise she would have been afraid of being affected by the musk.

"I am in good health, so the good news will surely come soon." There was a gleam of determination in Concubine Qi's eyes, which was very dazzling.

"But I heard that if you can have more contact with children and pregnant women, the fetus will come faster." Concubine Qi pulled Ling Rong's sleeve, "Good sister, I want to move in with you, sister, please agree to it."

After going around in circles with this sentence, Lingrong no longer had the heart to continue teasing her and told her the emperor's order with great embarrassment.

"Then after my sister gives birth, we won't have to worry about disturbing her anymore," Concubine Qi was not discouraged by being rejected. She didn't care whether Lingrong was pregnant or not. She just thought that it would be more convenient to win favor this way.

After all, Concubine Xin has very little favor, and whenever the Emperor comes to Chuxiu Palace, he is actually visiting her, so it is difficult for her to win more favor.

It just so happened that An Lingrong was pregnant, and the emperor visited her and Princess Youning every now and then.

But what's the point of looking at a woman who can't serve in the emperor's bedchamber? If I were there, I would ensure that the emperor would not be able to leave Chengqian Palace.

It was a beautiful dream in Concubine Qi's heart, but unfortunately Lingrong made excuses again and again and refused to let her live in Chengqian Palace.

But now she has received orders from the Queen Mother to get rid of An Lingrong's pregnancy, but how can she do that if she can't get close to her?

I finally caught the loophole in her words, I can't let her escape, "Then I'd like to thank you very much, sister. After you give birth, I will move in and accompany you every day."

Lingrong didn't expect that Concubine Qi would use this pole to climb up, which scared her. Fortunately, she had the emperor as a shield. Even if Concubine Qi decided to move in on her own at this moment, she would not be able to move in in the future.

"If my sister really wants to move into Chengqian Palace, then she can ask the emperor in person.

After all, it was an order from the emperor, and I'm really used to living alone.

For a moment, I really didn’t want to mention this to the Emperor.”

What she meant was that Lingrong didn't want to live with Concubine Qi. If she wasn't afraid of upsetting the Emperor and herself, she could just ask for it.

The smile on Concubine Qi's lips froze. She suppressed the anger in her heart and wished she could slap An Lingrong in the face.

"It seems that Concubine Sheng is really bored and is making fun of my sincerity.

Since you don't want to be disturbed, why don't you make it clear from the beginning? "

"Don't hit a smiling person. Sister Qi, you call me sister so affectionately. How can I have the nerve to reject you?"

Seeing her angry, Lingrong felt inexplicably happy. At this moment, she even felt a little regretful that she couldn't tease her a little longer.

When Lingrong looked up, she saw the figure of Concubine Tian at the door. She had an idea and deliberately asked Concubine Qi why she didn't go to live with Concubine Tian but came to find her.

Concubine Qi naturally wouldn't say that she was doing it for the emperor's favor. She snorted, "Concubine Tian just gave birth. It would be bad if I moved over and disturbed the princess."

"But you said you would move in after I give birth. Aren't you afraid of disturbing me?"

Concubine Qi was about to open her mouth to refute, but she found that she had blocked her own way, "That, that's not because of me, because Concubine Sheng and I hit it off right away, that's why I wanted to live in Chengqian Palace so much."

"So, in your eyes, I am more important than Concubine Tian."

Lingrong smiled with her eyes curved, and you couldn't tell at all that she was setting a trap for Concubine Qi.

For a moment, Concubine Qi did not react to why Lingrong asked this. She wanted to say that you two are the same, but when she remembered that the Queen asked her to find a way to get close to An Lingrong, she had to say that she did like Lingrong more.

Ling Rong smiled even more happily. She took Concubine Qi's hand and patted it gently, "No one has ever valued me more than others. Whether this is true or not, I feel very relieved."

"Of course it's true," Concubine Qi thought she had moved Concubine Sheng with just a few words, and immediately held Lingrong's hand, "Concubine Tian and I are both from aristocratic families, and our relationship seems to be good, but it's all because I tolerate her temper.

But I am also a spoiled girl at home, and I would never lose my temper like her.

You have been tolerating her for a long time, haven't you become fed up with her?"

She even asked back, so she's not stupid. Ling Rong muttered to herself, and the smile on her face became even brighter, "I don't think so. Concubine Tian is straightforward and very easy to get along with."

As soon as Ling Rong finished speaking, Concubine Tian deliberately stepped heavier and walked into the door. The sound of her shoes made Concubine Qi shudder.

Only at this moment did she realize that the woman in front of her was actually plotting against her.

She never speaks ill of others behind their backs. Now that Concubine Tian has heard about it, it will be difficult to have a good relationship with her in the future.

"Princess Sheng, why are you..."

"Princess Tian is back. She's having fun playing with Youning."

Lingrong interrupted Concubine Qi's words. She glanced at Aunt Fangjing behind Concubine Tian, ​​and became even happier when she saw the latter making a gesture as if everything was okay.

"It's fun to play with Youning."

Concubine Tian glanced at Concubine Qi. She wanted to ask Concubine Qi to give up her seat, but she didn't expect the latter to simply raise her head and completely ignore her.

"But I didn't expect that you and Concubine Qi were having a happier chat," Concubine Tian stood in front of Concubine Qi, staring down at her, "some people were so happy that they forgot their positions and sat in places where they shouldn't be."

Concubine Qi snorted, suddenly stood up and gave her seat to Concubine Tian.

But she didn't want to sit on the short embroidered cushion, so she simply bowed perfunctorily, found an excuse that she had something to do in the palace, and planned to leave.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Concubine Sheng and I haven't said anything yet, but you straightened your back."

Concubine Qi could only bow again, lower her head, and wait for Concubine Sheng or Concubine Tian to call her to stand up.

However, she didn't expect that the two men didn't say anything and just let her squat there until her legs became numb and then they asked her to get up.

Concubine Qi had never suffered such humiliation before. Not only did she have to put on a smiling face and agree with Concubine Sheng, who came from a poor family, but she was also humiliated by Concubine Tian, ​​who was only one level higher than her.

One by one, once I get pregnant, I can step on them all.

"Look, look, she just left in a rage after being asked to squat for a while." Concubine Tian snorted coldly. She also glanced at Lingrong unhappily. After all, these two people were talking about her in private, and she didn't know what An Lingrong said.

"If I wasn't pregnant now, I'm afraid Concubine Tian would also want me to squat for a while longer." Lingrong saw through Concubine Tian's thoughts. She did not hide anything and told her exactly what Concubine Qi had said.

When Concubine Tian knew the whole story, her face turned even worse. She just thought that Concubine Qi took the initiative to make friends with her because the relationship between Fucha and Guaerjia had eased.

However, he never imagined that Concubine Qi actually intended to use him as a stepping stone to climb up.

Now that he saw Concubine Sheng as a more useful stepping stone, he kicked her away without hesitation and climbed on with a licking face.

If I hadn't heard it, I would have been kept in the dark and taken advantage of by others.

"It's too easy for her to just squat for a while. She will have to suffer some pain afterwards."

Lingrong spread her hands, with a helpless expression on her face, saying, "Please don't ask me for help." In order to let Concubine Tian deal with Concubine Qi with peace of mind, Lingrong did not even tell Concubine Tian that the beads in Concubine Qi's hand were also musk beads.

However, Concubine Tian was obviously a person who made a lot of noise but did little. After several days of saying this, she did not take any action against Concubine Qi. Instead, Concubine Qi asked the Emperor to leave the palace several times.

Every time she complained of a headache or feeling uneasy, but the emperor just fell for it and was always happily asked to leave.

When the emperor came to Chengqian Palace, Concubine Qi also used the reason of heart palpitations to want to ask the emperor to leave, but Lingrong only needed to say that she had stomach discomfort, and the emperor would stay immediately. No matter how she "persuaded" the emperor, she failed to send the emperor away.

Fortunately, after examining the baby, Imperial Doctor He found nothing wrong. It was just a normal fetal movement. "It should be that the heir stretched his arms and legs in the belly, touching Concubine Sheng's internal organs, causing the pain. Your Majesty and Concubine Sheng, you can rest assured."

"Look at how painful you are. I'm really worried that you're going to give birth early."

Ling Rong glanced at He Anming on the side, then looked at the emperor shyly, "It's because of Your Majesty that you want to abandon me and go to see Concubine Qi."

"You, I've been pampering her these past few days, and you're jealous of her.

If you missed me, why didn't you send someone to inform me, instead of staying alone in the palace, waiting for me to come over?"
