An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

After leaving Jingpin, Lingrong stood in the courtyard, hesitating whether to go to Shen Meiyu's Cunju Hall.

But thinking about the fact that Shen Meizhuang went to see Zhen Huan after she was released from house arrest, she felt quite uncomfortable.

After all, they were childhood friends, so I could never compare to them.

Ling Rong took a look at the plaque of Cun Ju Tang and finally gave up the idea of ​​paying a visit. She finally left with Zhao Shui.

Now that spring has arrived and flowers are blooming, I feel a lot lighter once I take off my heavy winter clothes.

Ling Rong strolled lightly around the Imperial Garden, picking flowers and looking at the grass, and seemed to be having a good time.

As soon as she approached Chengrui Pavilion, she heard women's laughter. Lingrong was very familiar with the voices of these people. They were Zhen Huan, Shen Guiren and Chun Changzai.

It was unknown when koi were raised in the pond of Chengrui Pavilion. Chun Changzai held a bowl of fish food and lay on the beauty chair to feed the koi.

"Feeding the fish here is more comfortable than in the Thousand Carp Pond." When the Thousand Carp Pond was mentioned, Concubine Chun's voice became weaker. "Every time I go to feed the fish, Concubine Hua complains that I'm too noisy, but it's obviously far away from her Yikun Palace."

"Could it be that Chun'er was clamoring to go fishing, which made Concubine Hua worried and not let you go out to play." Shen Meizhuang also grabbed a handful of fish food and sprinkled it into the pond bit by bit.

In this life, Concubine Hua did not push Shen Meizhuang into the Thousand Carp Pond, nor did she use a fake pregnancy to cause her to fall out of favor. Therefore, she did not have a very bad impression of Concubine Hua, and her guess was quite objective.

But it was different for Zhen Huan. She and Concubine Hua were now at loggerheads, and she looked a little displeased when she heard the name.

"Sister Mei forgot that when she first entered the palace, she was punished with house arrest and was required to copy palace rules. Wasn't it all because of this Concubine Hua who pushed for it?"

Shen Meizhuang couldn't help feeling sad when she thought about this, because she knew very well in her heart that the punishment of copying and house arrest was just a struggle between Hua Fei's faction and Huan'er.

She and Huan'er had long been regarded as being in the same party. At that time, Huan'er was in great favor, and it was not easy for Hua Fei to go against the emperor's wishes and take action against Huan'er.

He could only settle for the second best and chose to target himself, a person who had no favor and was a member of Huan'er's party. After all, he was just a victim of Huan'er's failed struggle.

"Yes, Concubine Hua..." Shen Meizhuang lost interest in feeding the fish. She threw all the fish food in her hand into the pond and turned to sit on the other side.

"Sister Mei," Zhen Huan immediately sat down next to Shen Meizhuang and held her hand. "We have known each other since childhood. I will never let you suffer any more grievances."

"Huan'er." Shen Meizhuang didn't know how to answer for a moment, but stared at by Zhen Huan's sincere and passionate eyes, she nodded. "We are sisters with one heart, and we help each other."

Lingrong listened to Zhen Huan's confession to Shen Meizhuang from afar, and she knew very well in her heart that Shen Meizhuang would definitely return to her sister Huan'er.

After all, people like Shen Meizhuang value friendship the most. Considering the sisterhood between her and Zhen Huan in the past, she would not turn against her on the spot.

But the rift between them was also obvious. In Lingrong's view, it was just a matter of saving face.

Seeing the two of them holding hands, Chun'er also put down her fish food and ran over, shouting that she should be included. "And there's Chun'er, sisters, don't forget Chun'er."

"Of course I won't forget you." Zhen Huan smiled and patted Chun Changzai's hand. "All the delicious cakes in my palace went into your stomach."

"But Sui Yu Xuan is so far from Yong Shou Palace, Sister Zhen." Concubine Chun pouted and acted like a spoiled child. She separated Zhen Huan and Shen Mei Zhuang's clasped hands, held Zhen Huan's hands tightly with both of her own, and looked at Zhen Huan with a pitiful look, "Sister Zhen, can you let Chun Er go and keep you company?"

Zhen Huan lived alone in a palace, so she naturally didn't want to be crowded with others. When she was in Suiyuxuan, Chun Changzai used the excuse of visiting her and ran into the emperor several times.

That is to say, she is still young, and the emperor only treats her as a little girl. As she grows older, isn't this just having someone competing for his favor by his side?

Since she regards the emperor as her husband, naturally she is unwilling to give him up to anyone else.

But it would seem unkind for her to say no. Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meizhuang, hoping that she could ask for help.

Unexpectedly, Shen Meizhuang completely misunderstood her meaning and directly spoke for Chun Changzai, "You used to live together, but now you are far away from each other, so you are not used to it."

"Yes, Sister Shen, Chun'er used to play with Sister Zhen. They even picked osmanthus flowers from the trees, dried them, and made lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cakes to eat."

Chun Er was still innocent, seemingly unable to see the rejection on Zhen Huan's face, "Since Sister Zhen moved to Yongshou Palace, she has never made cakes for Chun Er herself again."

"You little girl..." Zhen Huan smiled and glanced at Chun'er, "It was the emperor who asked me to move to Yongshou Palace. I will ask the emperor's opinion in a few days. Chun'er, can you wait for two more days?"

"Well then." Concubine Chun knew that she couldn't just move the palace so easily. At least she had to get the permission of the emperor or the queen. Now that Zhen Huan had made concessions, she couldn't push her further. "Chun'er wants to drink the milk tea made by Aunt Jingxi. Sister Zhen can't refuse this."

"Of course. After we feed the fish, we'll go to Yongshou Palace and sit for a while. Ask Jingxi to make a few more cups." Zhen Huan agreed with a smile. The three of them reached an agreement and immediately planned to get up and go back to Yongshou Palace.

Lingrong eavesdropped for a while, and when she heard that they were about to leave Chengrui Pavilion, she quickly pulled Zhaoshui and hid behind a big tree nearby.

Only after the three people walked away chatting and laughing did he dare to walk out with peace of mind.

"My lady, let's go back to Chengqian Palace. When we left the palace, Aunt Fangjing told me many times to come back early so that she could do moxibustion for me."

"Then let's go back." After eavesdropping for so long, Ling Rong was a little tired. For the sake of her own health, she acquiesced to Aunt Fang Jing's practice of moxibustion every few days.

Anyway, the imperial physician said that this was a good thing. She just needed to lie down and someone else would do the rest. She was happy to enjoy it.

But just after returning to the palace, before she even had time to do moxibustion, Songzhi from Yikun Palace came to Chengqian Palace and said that Concubine Hua had invited her for an important matter and asked Lingrong to come over immediately.

It was probably about the move to Chengqian Palace. Based on Lingrong's understanding of Concubine Hua, she knew that apart from this matter that caught Concubine Hua's attention, there was nothing else going on.

But this was ordered by the Emperor. Why didn't she go to the Emperor to show off her power instead of asking a concubine like her to do so?

Her heart was full of rejection, but she didn't dare to say anything. If Concubine Hua was determined to find fault with her, it would be useless to make excuses.

The only way was to make Concubine Hua feel from the bottom of her heart that she was only given this little preferential treatment because of the emperor's guilt.

Ling Rong asked Aunt Fang Jing to present Song Zhi with the reward money, and Song Zhi accepted it without hesitation. She looked a little proud, "My queen is in a bad mood today. An Changzai should think carefully about how to reply later, so as not to make the queen even more unhappy."

After receiving the money, Songzhi became more talkative. Lingrong secretly calculated Hua Fei's temper. In her previous life, she was asked to sing for entertainment, but in this life, she didn't let others know that she could sing. As a result, she didn't know how Hua Fei would torture her.

When she stepped into Yiku Palace for the first time after her rebirth, the decoration was still as magnificent as before. The strong smell of Huanyi incense filled the palace. Not only Concubine Hua, but even the palace was permeated with the scent.

Concubine Hua was sitting on a high seat. When Lingrong came in, she was eating a bunch of grapes and let Lingrong squat there to pay her respects.

When she finished eating the grapes, she realized that Ling Rong was speaking, "Why is An Changzai still being so formal? Stand up and answer."

"Thank you, Madam Hua Fei." Ling Rong was already used to these little tricks of Madam Hua Fei, and she did not show any dissatisfaction at all. "I wonder if Madam Hua Fei has asked me to come here, but what is your instruction?"

"It's not a big deal, but I got some news that the Queen invited Madam Lin to visit the manor. Is that true?"

Lingrong didn't expect that this news had only just reached Hua Fei's ears, and even she herself had almost forgotten about it completely.

"It's been a long time since I went to Tangquan Palace." Lingrong wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Thank you, Empress Hua, for caring about me so much. Now my mother has returned home."

"I'm not asking you to come and worry about you. I've already told the emperor what the queen did outside the palace. The emperor has promised to ask the imperial physician to see your mother. Now her eyes are almost healed."

Concubine Hua showed a proud look, she cared most about the emperor's favor.

Now, just by telling the Queen about this inappropriate behavior, the Emperor has placed her under house arrest.

If more faults of the queen were collected, it would not be impossible to drive this old woman Ulanala off the throne.

No wonder the Emperor put the Empress under house arrest in disguise. It turned out that it was Concubine Hua and her brother Nian Gengyao who did it. The palace in the past and the harem all said that the Empress was unkind. If the Emperor didn't do something, he would not be able to shut up these two siblings.

But this move did deal a blow to the Queen, but it also exposed your own ambitions, Empress Hua.

"Your concubine thanks Empress Hua." Lingrong had no idea what Empress Hua was planning by bringing this up, so she could only thank her obediently.

"Okay, get up." Concubine Hua didn't care. She touched her belly with hope on her face. "Since you gave me the medicine in Tangquan Palace, I will help you this time.

I owe you a favor as a concubine, and I can't afford to lose face."

When Lingrong heard what Hua Fei said, she finally felt relieved. She thought that Hua Fei called her over because the Emperor was moving the palace for her.

Who would have thought that just as she had put down the heavy stone in her heart, Hua Fei's next sentence lifted it up again, "Changzai An is now living alone in Chengqian Palace, and she is favored by the emperor."

Ha, that’s really the case.

Ling Rong had already thought of an excuse on the way, and when Hua Fei asked her, her eyes immediately turned red and she held back her tears and apologized to Hua Fei.

"I am naturally not worthy of living alone in the palace, but the emperor said that this can be regarded as compensation for me.

I first lost my child because of praying for blessings, and then because the maidservant Fuzi who served me won the emperor's favor, the emperor probably felt a little sorry, so he allocated this Chengqian Palace for me to live in."

When Concubine Hua heard that the emperor had favored another palace maid, she became angry again. She had heard that this Fu Zi looked quite similar to Zhen Huan, and it was possible that the emperor was using her to remind him of someone else.

Hua Fei snorted coldly, and the coldness on her face made people feel scared.

"Wanpin was just a noble lady at that time, but she dared to put on airs and punish concubines." In the matter of the murder and loss of her child, Hua Fei rarely felt some sympathy for Lingrong.

But he thought more about himself. Concubine Duan killed his child, but the emperor still gave her the title of concubine.

The same goes for the bitch Zhen Huan. I don't know how she bewitched the emperor and was able to advance to a higher position even after harming someone else's child. She even lived in Yongshou Palace, which was closest to the emperor. She was just as disgusting as Concubine Duan.

"Why are you crying? It's so rude." Seeing Ling Rong crying out of grievance, Concubine Hua was furious. "Don't you know how to resist? Go cry in front of the emperor. What's the point of crying here?"

"But Empress Hua, I am a concubine of low rank and low family background, and I am not as favored by the Emperor as Wanpin is. How can I compete with Wanpin?"

Concubine Hua was furious when she heard this, but she had to admit that what An Lingrong said was true. She herself had now become a concubine, and her brother was the most capable subordinate of the Emperor.

He still had to endure the humiliation of thinking that Concubine Duan was on an equal footing with him. He could only teach Concubine Duan a lesson in secret, and he couldn't kill this bitch with a single knife to vent his anger.

"Then you will just endure it for the rest of your life, and be trampled under the feet of Zhen for the rest of your life." Concubine Hua was planning to give Concubine Duan some chili water tonight, and for the moment she was too lazy to torture Lingrong.

"Empress Hua..."

"Alright, go back to your Chengqian Palace and cry." Concubine Hua got a headache when she heard Lingrong speak. She called Songzhi over and said, "Give the dress to An Changzai. I heard that An Changzai is an excellent embroiderer. I like peonies the most, so please ask An Changzai to embroider one for me."

Lingrong held the tray Songzhi handed over, on which was a bamboo green dress without any decoration. "Yes, this Manchu dress...Are you sure you want to have peony embroidery on it?"

"Tsk... just embroider when I tell you to, but stop talking."

This green color wouldn't necessarily look good with the bright red of the peony... Ling Rong swallowed what she wanted to say, and could only hold the dress in her hands to pay her respects, then left the Yikun Palace at the drop of a hat.

Only after leaving Yikun Palace far away did Lingrong dare to take a deep breath. The fragrance of joy that filled the entire palace was so suffocating.

Especially since a large amount of musk was added to the Huan Yi incense, she really didn't dare to stay in Concubine Hua's palace for too long.

As soon as she returned to Chengqian Palace, Lingrong asked Zhaoshui to invite Imperial Physician He. All the imperial physicians in the palace knew about the situation in Yikun Palace. He felt Lingrong's pulse but did not dare to tell her about the situation in Yikun Palace. He only reminded Lingrong vaguely that it would be better for her to go to Yikun Palace less often.

"These are some scented pills that I prepared. My lady, you can take some with you. They will definitely be of some use."

Lingrong didn't hesitate. She took the scent pills and immediately put one into the scent bag she carried with her.

"Thank you, Doctor He."

He Anming cupped his hands and accepted the full purse of silver Ling Rong handed over with a clear conscience. "If the young lady has used up all the money, just ask Miss Zhaoshui to go to the Imperial Hospital to get some more."

After seeing off Imperial Doctor He, Ling Rong finally relaxed. The musk in the Huan Yi incense was too overbearing.

She usually avoided Concubine Hua, but she couldn't resist Concubine Hua asking her to embroider a skirt. If she was called to Yikun Palace to embroider every day, she would never have a child in her life.

Fortunately, there is a reliable He Anming. The Fucha family is really a family with vision. Although Concubine Tian is spoiled, this imperial physician is very well taken care of.
