An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Chapter 315 The beginning of the calculation

When Ling Rong returned to Yuedi Yunju, the emperor also rushed over with Su Peisheng.

As soon as he entered the room, the emperor remained silent, with an ugly dark face. If you didn't know, you would think that Lingrong had done something wrong and offended the emperor.

The moment Lingrong saw the emperor, she sighed in her heart, but had to pretend to be gentle on her face. She secretly glanced at Su Peisheng, asking him with her eyes what was wrong with the emperor.

Su Peisheng gave him a look that showed everything was fine, and stood behind the emperor, slowly shaking his head.

"It's hot today, Your Majesty must have sweated a lot. I've prepared some iced watermelon, Your Majesty, please try it later."

After receiving Su Peisheng's signal, Lingrong completely relaxed. She sat next to the emperor and put the frozen watermelon slices to his mouth.

The emperor grunted and started biting the watermelon. His teeth were chilled by the cold watermelon and his lips were also stuck to it.

"Ok?"

The emperor was brought back to his senses by the watermelon. In a blink of an eye, he saw Lingrong smiling beside him, and even eating some icy watermelon slices.

"You always have these weird ideas."

The emperor was not annoyed, and just ate watermelon slices with Lingrong. After a while, he spoke, "Did you go to the Queen Mother's today?"

"Yes, Sister Jing Guifei said that she must talk to the Empress Dowager about the latest events in the palace no matter what."

"The Queen Mother no longer asks about matters in the harem, so you should not disturb her with these matters." The Emperor frowned, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"I think so too," Ling Rong echoed the emperor's words, "but there are some things that I, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Tian are really powerless to do."

The Emperor naturally knew what Ling Rong meant, because the Queen could no longer be in charge of the harem, and the Queen Mother did not want the power to fall into someone else's hands, so she could only try her best to interfere in the affairs of the harem.

After all, the empress dowager's status is there. Even if these three women who have the power to assist in managing the six palaces are unwilling, they can only listen to the empress dowager's words obediently and report from time to time.

Especially after arriving at the Old Summer Palace, the Empress Dowager's avoidance and frequent attacks on the Jingren Palace all showed that she could no longer tolerate it and was forcing the Emperor to release the Empress.

"Tell me what the Queen Mother said today."

"In fact, he didn't say much. He just told me and others to be dedicated and to share the emperor's worries like the queen did, and not to show up again..."

Ling Rong stopped talking and didn't finish her words.

But the emperor wanted to hear it. He frowned and urged in a rather harsh tone, "What happened?"

"Don't let the same thing happen to Concubine Wan again." Ling Rong seemed helpless, but still said the rest of the words, "It's just that I don't quite understand why the Empress Dowager is so unhappy when Concubine Wan hasn't done anything wrong since she recovered from her illness."

How could the Emperor not know the Empress Dowager's true intention? She is just taking the opportunity to criticize the concubines to criticize me, the Emperor.

It can be seen that giving a surname to Concubine Wan caused the empress dowager a sense of crisis. She was worried that she would give the throne to someone else, so she hurried to her side.

If this was the Fourteenth Prince's backyard, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager would have dealt with Yixiu long ago. How could she allow her to harm the harem and future generations?

"There is something that happened recently. Chun promised to be released from house arrest. I want to bring her to the Old Summer Palace to reunite with the Seventh Prince. Rong'er, please handle it. Don't go to the Queen Mother recently."

Hearing that Chun agreed to come to the Old Summer Palace, Lingrong's heart moved, and she suddenly came up with a plan, but this plan still needed Cao Qinmo's help.

"I will handle it well. Your Majesty, don't worry about Concubine Jin."

Seeing that Lingrong understood what he meant immediately, the emperor smiled a little, "Rong'er is getting more and more adept at handling the affairs of the harem. In the future, those who are capable should do more work and do more things."

"That won't do," Ling Rong refused the emperor without even thinking, "My monthly allowance is only so little, and I have to do so many things, isn't that too easy for the emperor?"

The emperor couldn't figure out for a moment whether Lingrong felt that her position was too low or she was simply using this matter to act coquettishly, so he looked at Lingrong with interest to see what she could say.

Unexpectedly, Lingrong stopped talking and instead brought both children up and fed them watermelons herself.

Youning particularly liked this frozen watermelon slice. She sat in Lingrong's arms, eating the watermelon attentively, and didn't even look at her royal father.

Soon, the watermelon slices were all used up. Youning was full of energy and wanted to go out to play, while Hongyu was also a little drowsy and sat next to the emperor and refused to leave.

Lingrong didn't hesitate and just left Hongyu to the emperor's care and went out to play with Youning in her arms.

Because she wanted to find Cao Qinmo for something, Lingrong simply took Youning to Jianbi Pavilion to go boating and appreciate the lotus flowers, and sent someone to invite Cao Qinmo and her daughter to come as well.

Cao Qinmo arrived quickly, and Youning only had time to pick up a lotus flower before she saw Wen Yi. She ran over excitedly, hugged Wen Yi, and put the flower directly into his hands.

A few harmonious maids were also very tactful. They took the two princesses to play on the other side, leaving the pavilion to Lingrong and Cao Qinmo.

"It seems my sister has something to tell me."

"Chun promised to be released from house arrest and will come to Yuanmingyuan to reunite with the Seventh Prince in the next two days."

"What did you say?" Cao Qinmo's voice could not help but get louder, but soon she lowered her voice, "...What do you mean, is the emperor planning to return the Seventh Prince to Chun Da Ying?"

"That's about it. The emperor also asked me to do this well and bring Chun Ying to the Old Summer Palace."

"She harmed Wen Yi, was released after being locked up for a month, and even brought the Seventh Prince back to her side. Why is she so lucky?"

Ling Rong nodded, and waited until Cao Qinmo's emotions had stabilized before continuing, "In the final analysis, it's because Honghui is a prince.

To be honest with you, the Emperor seems to be interested in training these princes. I don’t know the real purpose and I don’t dare to guess rashly, but based on these actions, I think you can guess a thing or two.”

"Just because Wen Yi is not a prince, should she be ignored like this? Apart from me, her mother, who else really cares about the suffering she has endured?"

Cao Qinmo must have been extremely angry, as she did not maintain her usual calmness in front of Lingrong. She bit her lips hard, thinking about how to ask Chun to agree to atone for his sins with the Seventh Prince.

Training a prince is nothing more than training an heir to the throne, but isn't it said that the Seventh Prince can't grow up? What's the point of training such an heir?

Since he is dying so slowly, we might as well send him to hell early. This way he will have a chance to pick a good baby and never meet a mother like Chun Da Ying again.

"What do you want to do, sister?"

"I originally thought that since she was grounded, I should just teach her a lesson.

But I didn't expect the emperor to let her go so easily, making my actions a joke."

Cao Qinmo took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down. "I must deal with Chun Cheng, and I can't let her live a comfortable life."

Ling Rong nodded and casually mentioned another matter, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has recently imported a lot of mutton, and there are many omissions in the accounts. I will have to recalculate these accounts in the next two days, and I may not be able to find Shui Mu Ming Se.

If you need anything, please send someone to Shuimu Mingse to find me. I will definitely help you."

The point that Lingrong conveyed was not help but mutton. After all, the Seventh Prince was in poor health and had to rely on medicine and food for recuperation on a daily basis.

If Cao Qinmo could use the method of food incompatibility to attack the Seventh Prince, then she would have the opportunity to achieve her goal quietly without being suspected by anyone.

At this time, Cao Qinmo frowned, not knowing whether he understood.

Could it be that my hint was too subtle? Ling Rong thought for a while, and then said more clearly, "Mutton is indeed a good thing, but it is not advisable to eat too much."

Cao Qinmo raised her head and looked at Lingrong inquiringly, but Lingrong looked normal. "After all, you can't over-replenish your body in summer, otherwise it will hurt your body."

"it is good."

Looking at Cao Qinmo's expression, Lingrong felt that she should have realized something, but she didn't know where that wrong feeling came from.

As long as she goes back and asks the imperial physician in private, she will know everything clearly.

Ling Rong didn't want to explain things too clearly, in order not to expose herself. After all, she was trying to play a big game of chess and could not afford any mistakes.

Two days later, Ling Rong sent someone to pick up Chun Da Ying and placed her in Wuling Chunse, which was very close to Yuedi Yunju.

Chun agreed to be polite to Lingrong, and his expression became even better after seeing the decorations of Wuling Spring.

She even called her Sister Sheng all the time, as if the two of them had a very close sister relationship.

"The Emperor knows that you and Concubine Wan had a good relationship in the past, so he asked me to arrange for you to live closer to her.

I originally wanted to let you live in Yuedi Yunju, but then I thought it would be more comfortable to live alone.

If you need anything, just send someone to Shuimu Mingse to let us know. We are not far away and it is very convenient."

Chun nodded in agreement. She walked around the room and suddenly remembered something. "Thank you, Sister Sheng, for taking care of me. Chun'er really likes the scenery of Wuling, but this place used to be where the Empress lived... Is it a bit bad?"

“The various palaces in the Old Summer Palace were originally intended for casual living.

The Empress had lived not only in Wuling Spring Scenery, but also in Shangxia Tianguang Natural Painting. It was just that the scenery she wanted to see was different every year.

So you don't have to worry too much, just stay here with peace of mind."

Chun agreed and then felt relieved. He asked Xue'er to pack the luggage he brought with him. "Sister Sheng, Chun'er would like to ask, has the emperor told you when Chun'er can see the Seventh Prince?"

"The emperor has not yet given any instructions on this matter. He probably wants to wait until you are settled before discussing it.

The main reason was that the Fourth Prince was recorded in the jade book of Concubine Wan a few days ago, and the entire palace was busy with this matter.

Now that he finally has some free time, the emperor couldn't wait to bring you here, so the matter of the Seventh Prince has not been dealt with yet."

"Sister Sheng, I heard on the way that... the emperor wants to record the seventh prince in the imperial book of Wan Guiren? Is this true?"

This news was originally spread by Ling Rong, but she naturally pretended not to know at this moment, and was even very surprised, "Who is so bold as to make up stories about the prince? Where did you hear it, I'll ask."

"No, it's just... I heard it from someone." Chun Da Ying only heard it by chance. She didn't know who said it, but seeing Ling Rong's irrelevant answer, she had some conclusion in her heart.

But Chun agreed and asked again, "Sister Sheng, does the emperor really think so?"

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Lady Wan just wants to raise a child for the emperor. Now that she already has the Fourth Prince, she won't adopt another heir to the throne.

You, put your heart back in your stomach."

Chun nodded in agreement. She was obviously a little emotional about this matter. She kept asking, "Why did you choose the Fourth Prince in the end?"

"Isn't this great?" Ling Rong smiled. She seemed to be comforting, but in fact she was provoking Chun Ying's anger. "Seventh Prince's mother is still you. Isn't this something worth being happy about?

Why should you make yourself unhappy and embarrassed by rumors that you heard from others?

Well, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has purchased a lot of mutton recently. Eating mutton in summer can stimulate appetite and improve health. My sister is weak, so you can ask Xueer to get some and make some dishes she likes.

Each palace in the Old Summer Palace is specially equipped with a small kitchen, so you can use it at ease, sister."

Lingrong did not agree with Chun to continue chatting. She gave some instructions to Xueer and then took Zhaoshui to Wanfang Anhe to report to the emperor.

When I arrived, the Emperor was playing chess with Concubine Wan. The two were in love and the atmosphere was harmonious, so it was not easy to suddenly interrupt.

But Lingrong didn't care. She spoke a few words to the emperor and took the initiative to tell him that Chun agreed to meet the Seventh Prince.

"She won't be allowed to see me once every seven days. Now that the day hasn't come yet, why is she acting so mad again?"

Lingrong glanced at Zhen Huan and saw that she didn't seem to care about this matter, so she started talking again about Chun agreeing to know that Concubine Wan was going to adopt the Seventh Prince.

Zhen Huan's expression finally changed. The chess piece at her fingertips was gently put down with a subtle and crisp sound.

Lingrong and the emperor both looked at her, as if it was a huge noise just now.

"I did ask, but I don't know which servant spread the news. I think it was just an accident."

"Tell her not to think too much. I and Lady Wan are just worried that no one will take care of the Seventh Prince."

"Yes, Chun promised to be in the palace at that time, but the Seventh Prince was in the Old Summer Palace. The Emperor was just worried that the Seventh Prince would be upset without his mother by his side.

Please ask Sister Shengfei to help my sister explain to Chun Ying."
