An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

The Queen only needed to look at the expressions of Concubine Sheng and Concubine Tian to know that the two of them had nothing good to say in their hearts, but the funny thing was that the Queen didn't want the two of them to see it.

This Concubine Wan is more like Rouze than Zhen Huan. When the Queen saw her just now, she was even stunned for a moment.

The Queen almost immediately knew why the Emperor doted on her so much and was extremely angry.

Especially that Concubine Wan, who actually ignored her, the queen, and stood beside the emperor to accept her gift, without even returning the gift.

The Emperor's disregard and indifference made the Queen furious. At that moment, she wished she could kill Concubine Wan with a single blow.

But she is the queen, she cannot use such a direct and bloody method. This woman who is almost exactly like Rouze should die as miserably as Rouze.

The queen managed to maintain her emotions. She even turned around and responded to their calls, "Are you two sisters going to see Concubine Xia?"

"Yes, but the emperor just went in, and he must have a lot to say to Lady Xia, so it's not appropriate for me and my concubine to go in now."

"Fortunately, you two are sensible and will not embarrass the emperor."

The Queen said something ambiguous, then turned around and left with Zhuxi and Feiyun, leaving Lingrong and Concubine Tian smiling at each other, then went back to the main hall to drink tea and chat.

The two people thought that after visiting the children and Xia Dongchun, the emperor would take Concubine Wan back to Yongshou Palace to continue their affectionate relationship and cultivate some love between men and women.

However, they did not expect that the two of them would make a detour and come to Concubine Tian's place. The emperor even solemnly introduced Concubine Wan to the two of them, and told Concubine Wan that Lingrong and Concubine Tian would take care of her in the future.

"I would like to thank you two majesties for your care, but I am a loner by nature and usually don't like to leave Yongshou Palace, so I don't think I will cause you too much trouble."

Concubine Wan didn't even bow to the two of them. She just sat next to the emperor. She didn't even look at Lingrong and Concubine Tian when she spoke. Instead, she turned her head and stared at the emperor with an indescribable tenderness in her eyes.

Concubine Tian felt disgusted. She raised her hand and pressed her lips with a handkerchief, raising her eyebrows to signal Lingrong to fight against her.

Lingrong had no interest in having any verbal dispute with her. Looking at the emperor's expression, she knew that if Wangui could not be embarrassed, the emperor would definitely make herself embarrassed as well.

"Since my sister likes quietness, we will naturally instruct the Ministry of Internal Affairs or others to disturb her less and leave enough space for the emperor and my sister.

Today, Concubine Xia gave birth to a prince for the Emperor, and maybe one day we’ll hear good news from Concubine Wan.”

"Madam Shengfei has good intentions, but my body has been ruined in Ningguta and I am no longer able to conceive. I am destined not to have the good fortune that the two majesties have."

Concubine Wan said this very calmly, but tears had already fallen. She raised her handkerchief and wiped her face silently, then slumped in the chair with a weak look on her face, her eyes withdrawn from the emperor's face.

The emperor immediately held her hand to comfort her, and even scolded Lingrong for talking nonsense, which made Concubine Wan sad.

Ling Rong let out a long breath calmly. She suppressed the anger rising in her heart and forced a smile, "It is my fault that I have made Sister Wan sad."

"It's not my sister's fault. It's my body that is not strong enough to bear children for the emperor."

Listen, these words don't sound like something Zhen Yurao would say.

Ling Rong had lived in the Zhen family in her previous life and had met Zhen Yurao. She was not such an annoying person, and no one knew what she had been through to become like this.

But the emperor was very pleased with it. In front of Concubine Wan, he completely ignored Lingrong and Concubine Tian and only cared about her.

Lingrong didn't know what to say. She could only shut her mouth and listen to the emperor's corny words to comfort Concubine Wan. Concubine Tian couldn't bear to hear a word and could hardly hide her rolling eyes.

"Your Majesty, this is all my own fault. Why do you have to blame Concubine Sheng? Concubine Sheng is doing this for our own good. She hopes that we can have many children.

There is at least one person as tolerant as this in the palace, and I can't help but associate with her."

"Concubine Sheng is indeed a good person. Although she is sometimes outspoken, I am relieved that Wanwan is friends with her."

Although the emperor was talking about Ling Rong, his eyes were on Concubine Wan from beginning to end. "You have been staying in Yongshou Palace without going out. I am afraid that you will be depressed. It would be better for you to go out more often to broaden your mind."

"Your Majesty, I am used to living alone. If you are worried that I will be depressed, why not reward me with a pipa?

The window is cold, I fold my hands slowly and gently, tears fill my eyelashes.

Concubine Wan sighed deeply, and without waiting for the emperor to reply, she stood up and took her leave. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and walked out of the door supported by a little palace maid.

He did not greet anyone, nor did he even say goodbye to the emperor.

In her past and present lives, Lingrong had never seen such a woman before. She didn't even know what expression she should have when facing the emperor.

"You have seen the temper of Concubine Wan. I have promised her that she does not need to pay respects to the Queen. You should not bother her too much on weekdays."

The emperor was not displeased, which meant he liked her. Ling Rong was about to nod, but Concubine Tian said foolishly, "Your Majesty, this Concubine Wan is wild and unruly. It's fine that she didn't bow to the queen and the concubines, but now she's leaving without saying a word or bowing to the emperor?

Such behavior is against the palace rules. If you don't want Concubine Wan to make a big mistake in the future, you still have to punish her."

Lingrong coughed, trying to attract Concubine Tian's attention, but who knew that Concubine Tian had already regarded herself as the future queen, so she insisted on intervening in something that she should have turned a blind eye to.

"Reverend Wan has just entered the palace, and I think she has not been taught by a nanny, so she knows nothing about the rules.

It would be better if the Ministry of Internal Affairs assigned two maids to take care of Concubine Wan's daily life and teach her the rules of the palace.

This way, she won't make mistakes easily in big or small matters, and it will be good for her, Your Majesty...what do you think?"

The Emperor's expression was serious, and he obviously thought this proposal was not good, but Concubine Tian seemed unaware, and even looked a little smug, "The palace rules cannot be made wrong. In the past, Concubine Qi did not learn well, and she copied the palace rules thousands of times before we had the rules we have today.

But Concubine Wan is very smart, I believe she will be able to master it in no time."

"That's just her nature. There are too many rules in the palace, which restrict her." The emperor finally spoke, interrupting Concubine Tian's chattering, "What I like is that she is not afraid of power. You don't have to worry about it. Do you understand?"

"I understand," Concubine Tian bowed her head, and Lingrong followed suit, "but this is in the palace, she can't stay in Yongshou Palace forever."

"If she is willing, then come out. If she is not willing, then stay seated. I don't want to hear you gossiping about Concubine Wan in private anymore. Concubines in the palace are not country women. Stop doing such shameful things."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two had no choice but to answer yes again. Ling Rong cursed the emperor for being crazy in her heart. When she saw the face that looked like Queen Chunyuan, she didn't care about anything.

Although Lingrong learned some news in advance, the emperor hid Zhen Yurao very well, and his people were never found, so there was no way for him to interfere.

Unexpectedly, once this person entered the palace, the emperor could no longer see anyone. Lingrong was worried that the emperor would get carried away and give her a concubine title and send her a child to raise.

After all, in the eyes of the emperor, promotion in rank is a trivial matter. There is no need to do anything great for the country. All you need to do is to please the emperor.

The three people parted unhappily, and the emperor left with a wave of his sleeves. It was said that he went to Yongshou Palace.

Upon hearing the news, Concubine Tian cursed inwardly for a long time, and took Linglong's hand and began to list Concubine Wan's faults. But in the end, she was just ignoring palace rules and seducing the master. She didn't understand much else.

"Okay, let's go see Lady Xia so we can get some rest early.

I have been irritated by this bitch all night, I will apply some pearl powder to prevent her from causing me to get wrinkles."

"Why are you getting angry with her? The emperor should still favor her. If you say too much, the emperor will hate you instead."

The two chatted all the way to Concubine Xia's bedroom. At this time, the child and Concubine Xia had been cleaned up, and Concubine Xia was lying on the bed, babbling something to the child.

Seeing Lingrong and Concubine Tian coming, Concubine Xia asked Mingyu to hold the child in front of them, and then took the child away before the Ninth Prince cried.

"I don't know where this child got so much grievance from. He cried like a cat for two cups of tea. When the emperor came in with that Concubine Wan, he cried even harder.

Unfortunately, he was small and had little strength, so he just sobbed, and it broke my heart to hear him."

Ling Rong sat down and held Xia Dongchun's hand. "You usually have so much fun playing with your child, but you're already bored with your child less than a day after giving birth."

"Playing with a child and raising a child are two different things." Lady Xia said with disdain, "What's more, he is a brat who doesn't care about his mother. I don't have the energy to make him happy."

"So you are trying to please the emperor?"

"Your Majesty? I don't think your Majesty needs us to cheer her up. Look at Concubine Tian's face. She must be mad at Concubine Wan."

Concubine Tian took a glance and turned her head away in displeasure, "I just don't believe that you are lying here and being mad at her."

"How could I not feel it? As soon as she came in, she said she envied my good fortune to be able to give birth to an heir for the emperor. Then she started to cry and wail. The emperor didn't even say a word to me, and hurried out to comfort her.

The two of them chattered in the main hall for who knows how long before the emperor brought her in again. He only said a few words to me, thanking me for my hard work, promoted me to the position of concubine, then tossed his sleeves and left.

He didn't even bother to take a look at the Ninth Prince, so he probably doesn't even know that the child is in poor health."

It is not difficult to see that Concubine Wan angered almost all the concubines in the palace by herself, but she was not as restrained as Zhen Huan, and she had the support of two close sisters.

She simply separated herself from the rest on purpose, as if she didn't care at all that anyone in the harem might be plotting against her.

"Noble Wan is obviously a smart person. It is hard for me to imagine why she is making enemies everywhere in the palace. Could it be that she doesn't like the emperor and wants to leave the palace as soon as possible?"

Ling Rong was amused by her own guess. She shook her head and said, "Now that she is the only one favored by the emperor, the people in the harem have to give her some face and will not tear their faces apart in public. Maybe this is what she wants."

"Although they won't tear each other apart openly, I don't know how many obstacles they will create in secret. Could it be that the former Queen Chunyuan was such a fool?"

Lingrong didn't know Empress Chunyuan, but she had heard a little from the Empress, mostly words like "pure and kind". The Emperor's evaluation of her was also that she was gentle and kind.

"She is well-read, gentle and kind, has excellent dancing skills, and is proficient in all arts, such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She sounds like a perfect person." Ling Rong held her handkerchief and recalled the few memories of Queen Chunyuan in her mind bit by bit. "But she married her sister's husband and made her sister hate her. It is very likely that she is a fool who only cares about love."

This evaluation was not good at all. Concubine Tian sneered and said, "She is indeed similar to Concubine Wan. She is also the same in that she cannot handle the relationship between sisters in the palace well."

"So no matter how she makes trouble, we don't have to worry too much. The one who will be most worried will be the Queen.

Queen Chunyuan is an invincible person. I wonder if the queen can still sleep tonight."

Xia Dongchun looked at Ling Rong's face with a confused look on her face, but she soon understood what Ling Rong meant and also smiled.

"Lady Xia... no, Concubine Xia, I need your help with something." Concubine Tian hesitated for a while and decided to use Xia Dongchun's identity as a bondservant for generations. "You have the most connections in the palace. Be our queen and spread the good news that you will raise the third prince again."

"This is not difficult, but if the emperor finds out, I will not be able to escape the blame."

"You don't have to worry too much. I have already arranged the affairs of the former court. The rumors in the harem are just a little help."

"I don't understand the affairs of the previous dynasty, and I don't want to get involved too much. As for the affairs in the harem, I will handle them in your name. I hope Concubine Tian doesn't mind."

Concubine Tian snorted and laughed. She didn't expect that after Xia Dongchun gave birth to a son, her mind became brighter. She wouldn't have other ideas and wanted to seize the position of queen.

This time it was just a test. Concubine Tian also looked at Lingrong with suspicion. She was also a concubine with a prince. She didn't know how long she could be loyal and help her.

"If you do a good job this time, you will definitely get some benefits. As for that Concubine Wan, I don't want you to be friends with her. This is a simple thing that can be done, right?"

"You don't have to tell us that we don't like her either," Xia Dongchun held Ling Rong's hand tightly, "It's a pity that the emperor likes her, and we can't shake her for the time being."
