An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Su Peisheng pretended not to care and casually put the willow-leaf purse into his arms.

"Oh, luckily the queen saw it, otherwise I would have lost this thing."

Ling Rong just smiled without saying anything. Her smiling tiger look frightened Su Peisheng a little. He was worried whether the Concubine Sheng had discovered something.

"Thank you, Madam."

"You don't have to be so polite, Eunuch Su," Ling Rong began to rummage through some patterns in her embroidery basket, "but you and I both know what the willow leaves folded into a heart mean. No matter which beauty you like, you must protect her well.

If the other party is also interested in you, you might as well talk to the emperor about it earlier. After all, because of the matter of Concubine Wan, the palace is particularly sensitive about private transactions. Don't let the emperor have a grudge against you because of this, Eunuch Su."

After hearing Ling Rong's words, Su Peisheng felt much more at ease. At least Concubine Sheng didn't know who gave her the purse, so he could get away with it as long as he covered it up a little.

It’s a pity that Lingrong didn’t give him this opportunity. She picked a lotus pattern from the basket and handed it to Su Peisheng.

"I have no intention of threatening you, so don't worry, Eunuch Su. You have done a lot for me in the past. If you confess to the emperor one day, I will definitely help you to plead for him.

Today, I will pretend that I have not seen anything. Please, Eunuch Su."

"Empress Sheng, this Liu..."

"It would be nice to use jadeite to make a lotus pattern, but I like peach blossoms the most, so I will have to ask the emperor for help in the future."

Ling Rong smiled and spoke, her eyes fell on the flower in Su Peisheng's hand again, "Eunuch Su, there is no need to explain. If this Willow Leaf Heart belongs to someone else, I can also agree. When he asks the emperor to marry the beauty, I will help him to ask for it."

Things had come to this point, and Su Peisheng knew he could no longer hide the truth, so he stopped pretending and sighed imperceptibly.

"The emperor has been in a bad mood recently, and I don't want to provoke him at this time." Su Peisheng was very helpless, "So please help me keep the secret, I will find an opportunity to confess to the emperor later."

"You don't have to worry. I won't say a word. Otherwise, why would I help you cover it up today and not let the emperor see it?"

Su Peisheng is not someone who can be easily bribed. He has been serving the emperor since he was a child and has almost never been treated harshly. His beloved Cui Jinxi has not suffered any hardship because of Zhen Huan, and he will not resent the emperor because of Cui Jinxi.

It would be difficult for him to gain any benefit from it, and he might even get resentment from Su Peisheng, which would be a hindrance to himself.

"You and Xiao Xiazi have helped me a lot, and I remember it in my heart. Lord Su is at peace.

But you still have to keep this thing away. If someone else sees it, it might cause a lot of trouble."

In Concubine Jing's previous life, she used this willow-leaf purse to pull down both Cui Jinxi and Su Peisheng, which made the emperor suspicious.

But at the same time, it also pushed Su Peisheng completely into Zhen Huan's team, making all her plans go more smoothly.

In this life, Ling Rong naturally couldn't let others get this advantage, so she tried her best to use this matter to show her goodwill to Su Peisheng.

Seeing that Su Peisheng was still so worried, Ling Rong gave him a lot of gifts, "Take it, Eunuch Su. I was able to get a coral today, all thanks to you.

Besides, with a beautiful woman by his side in the future, Eunuch Su will also have to buy some land."

"...I thank the Empress Sheng."

In the end, Su Peisheng left with trepidation in his heart. He knew in his heart that the affair between him and Jinxi would naturally not be revealed to others at this time, but he was afraid that Concubine Sheng would use this matter to threaten him and ask him to do things for her.

Could it be that I really have to tell the emperor about this first and ask him to help me and Jinxi be together?

But with Concubine Wan’s “pearls and jades” before her, I’m afraid the Emperor will feel that his loyalty is flawed and he’ll be unwilling to trust her.

"My lady, Eunuch Su has a bitter face all the way. I'm afraid he is thinking of a solution."

"Let him worry as much as he wants. He dropped this willow-leaf purse on himself. It can only be said that it is God's will." Ling Rong sighed and reminded Zhao Shui to pay attention to the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. "Since it is God's will, we must grasp it well. What's more, I am just selling it for good, and I have no intention of breaking them up.

I think Eunuch Su will soon understand and won't be as nervous as he is today."

Ling Rong guessed correctly. When Su Peisheng delivered the coral to Chengqian Palace, he looked much more relaxed and even said many words of congratulations based on this auspicious message.

Lingrong had not expected such a big coral. She looked left and right, and for a moment she couldn't understand why the emperor was so generous.

The emperor hasn't been doting on me recently. When he was in high favor, he did give me all kinds of good things, but since I was promoted to the position of concubine, the emperor began to favor the noble ladies more.

I don't know what went wrong today.

Ling Rong murmured in her heart, and verbally agreed with Shanhu's praise. After all, the Emperor was in the side hall accompanying Youning, and she had to let him know that the gift was not given in vain.

Not long after, the emperor came out. Seeing Lingrong praising Shanhu, he couldn't help but find it interesting and a smile appeared on his face.

"Why did the emperor come out? But Youning is too naughty?"

"Youning is sleepy. I saw she was asleep, so I came out." The emperor glanced at Lingrong and asked, "Do you like this coral?"

"I like it. It would be even better if I could make two coral bracelets for Youning."

"You are really greedy. You just got such a big one, and you still want to ask me for more." The emperor had never seen such an unsatisfied person, but he didn't mind and even found it interesting. "The others have been sent to Old Thirteen's house. If Rong'er wants them, he can only tell him in person."

"This..." Ling Rong was a little embarrassed. She blinked her eyes and mentioned Youning's longevity lock intentionally or unintentionally. "Youning's longevity lock was given by Prince Yi. If Youning asked for it herself, Prince Yi would probably give Youning some."

"You have quite a few ideas."

As expected, the emperor would feel much better when Prince Yi was mentioned, but soon, he sighed, "It would be great if the others could make me worry less like Old Thirteen does. It's a pity that I feel uneasy day and night."

This matter involved state affairs. Lingrong didn't know much, so naturally she didn't dare to say anything. She just smiled and said that Prince Guo probably knew he was wrong, otherwise he wouldn't have stood outside the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity regardless of rain or shine. Please forgive me.

"If Meng hadn't been pregnant, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been willing to bow his head." The emperor was still a little annoyed. "If he really knew he was wrong, he wouldn't have waited until now."

Ling Rong had no choice but to remain silent again. She was not in a position to discuss state affairs, so she could only pretend not to understand and say that she was stupid. She just thought that it was good enough for the brothers to be happy.

"Brotherly harmony is naturally a good thing, but it requires sincerity."

Sincerity? I think your sincerity is only for Queen Chunyuan.

Ling Rong smiled and replied, "Having a child means having a soft spot. How can parents bear to see their children suffer?"

"Some people can't bear to see their children suffer, but some people use the babies in their bellies as bargaining chips." Kong You has a face similar to Rou Ze, but his character is really low and despicable.

After many twists and turns, the topic finally came back to Zhen Huan. Ling Rong breathed a sigh of relief and said meaningfully, "I'm going to say something disrespectful, but in the harem, everyone feels that only having a child can make them feel truly supported.

I sometimes think that if one day I am no longer favored by the Emperor, with Youning and Hongyu around, the Emperor can come to see me from time to time."

"You're quite straightforward."

Although Ling Rong couldn't tell whether the emperor was happy or angry, she knew that he was in a peaceful mood at the moment. "I am stupid and can't hide my thoughts from the emperor, so I will tell him whatever I want.

When my father made a mistake, I also told His Majesty what was in my heart, without hiding anything."

Parents, children, and love, these are the things that the women in the harem care about. As the ruler of a country, the emperor naturally knows all about this.

He even knew that some things were not as simple as they seemed, but since he had the evidence, he was not willing to spend time and energy investigating and would just give the result as it came.

Just like when Concubine Qi lost her son, the Emperor knew it wasn't Zhen Huan who did it.

But Zhen was rotten to the core. Her father secretly married the daughter of a criminal, so naturally her daughter followed suit and wanted to have a taste of what she couldn't get.

After being pampered for two days, he already wants to ask for benefits for the family. It's really annoying.

Now that she is in Ningguta, she can still make Prince Guo travel thousands of miles to the border for her. I wonder how much trouble she will cause in the future.

"It's understandable to do it for the sake of your family, but too much is as bad as too little. Do you understand?"

"Your Majesty is right." Ling Rong bowed slightly. Looking at the emperor's expression, she knew that her master was beginning to overthink things again.

From Prince Guo to pleading for his parents, I don’t believe you wouldn’t think of Zhen Huan.

"I'm not scolding you, Rong'er, there's no need to be so scared."

"I understand. As the saying goes, there is no order without rules. Your Majesty being strict is good for both the former court and the harem."

"It would be great if everyone was as sensible as you." The emperor sighed. His fluctuating emotions made him a little tired.

"If everyone is like me, I'm afraid Your Majesty will find it boring." Ling Rong smiled and continued to guide the emperor naturally, "Look, you are frowning again. You are obviously very happy when playing with Youning. Your Majesty should pay more attention to the children."

"It's good to have a few princesses, each of them is beautiful and cute, but a few princes, alas."

The emperor pinched his brows and sat down with a tired look on his face. Hongzhou and Hongli had been repeatedly negligent in handling affairs in recent days and were really useless.

“The princes are still young and need to study hard with the emperor.

What's more, Your Majesty is in his prime, and I don't know how many princes will cause you trouble in the future."

Lingrong handed the medicinal meal to the emperor, but the emperor took only two bites and put it down - thinking of the deceased Sixth and Seventh Princes, how could the emperor have the heart to eat.

"If it weren't for that recipe, I would have a few more children."

"That prescription is harmful. I have already instructed the Imperial Hospital not to allow the imperial physician to use that prescription to dispense medicine.

With Imperial Physicians He and Zhou supervising every month, this kind of thing will surely not happen again.

However, the problem still needs to be solved from the source. It would be great if we knew who leaked this recipe."

As the emperor spoke, he became worried about the royal heir because of Lingrong and became dissatisfied with the queen.

In past and present lives, Lingrong has served the emperor for too long. She has already figured out exactly what he cares about most and the meaning of every one of his expressions.

"Noble Lady Chun and Noble Consort Jing are both heartbroken because of the loss of their children. I really don't want to see the sisters in the harem fall into pain again.

If the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital could develop a better prescription, the ladies in the palaces would not take such a risk. "

The emperor nodded. He was of course aware of the source of the prescription. Ulanara had killed countless children in the harem, and who knows how many more people would be harmed in the future if this prescription was left behind.

This Ulanara family member really cannot be kept. But if she is deposed at this time, the previous dynasty will definitely cause trouble. They said that the harem cannot be left without a master for a day, so they asked me to appoint another queen.

Fucha was indeed worthy of being the queen, but her frequent contact with Hongzhou made her thoughts too obvious.

As for Guaerjia, the emperor felt a headache just thinking about it. She disregarded the emperor's face and made a sensation in the city about the affair of Concubine Wan. Such a person does not have the ability and qualities to become the queen.

The emperor thought for a while and found that none of the women from the Manchu army flag in the harem were suitable to be the queen, but there were a few from the Han army flag who were quite good.

If this An family...

The emperor's eyes fell on Lingrong, who didn't understand why and could only smile.

"Your Majesty, what did I say wrong?" Ling Rong really didn't know what the emperor's sudden look meant. It was a little inquiring and a little surprised, and different from every previous look.

"An Linglang is your younger brother, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The emperor changed the subject so quickly that Ling Rong was a little confused for a moment. "He has now been awarded a seventh-rank official position and lives in the capital with my mother."

"I have never heard you mention him."

"I don't understand the affairs of the previous dynasty, nor do I know what Ling Lang is doing now, so I seldom communicate with Ling Lang, and naturally I seldom mention it."

Ling Rong was even more confused, and she asked tentatively, "But what did Ling Lang do wrong to upset the emperor?

If this is true, Your Majesty does not need to worry about me, and he will bear all the rewards and punishments himself."

"If I really blame you, won't you plead for mercy?" The emperor didn't believe that this little girl would ignore the affairs of her family.

"If he is really wrong, I will indeed beg the emperor to spare his life and will not completely ignore him. After all, he and I are brothers and sisters, and it is really difficult to part with him.

But if it is not a matter of life or death, I will not speak up. I believe that the emperor will make a wise decision. "

After hearing Ling Rong's answer, the emperor suddenly became stern, "Why, if I harm his life, then I am not decisive enough?"
