An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

"Among the girls who entered the palace at the same time, three had already been pregnant, especially Concubine Tian, ​​who was already three months pregnant."

Shen Meizhuang was anxious to get pregnant, whether in her previous life or this life. She had suffered too much and could not wait to have a child so that others would not bully her at will.

"The concubines who failed to get pregnant are you, Chun Changzai who is too young to serve in the emperor's bedchamber, and Borjigit Guiren who no one wants to offend.

Shen Meizhuang is still in favor, so naturally she wants to have a child and climb up the social ladder."

"Don't hint to me here that not everyone wants to have a baby." Xia Dongchun was not interested in being pregnant. She had only been in the palace for a short time and was living comfortably under the protection of the queen. She didn't even think there was anything wrong with it, let alone risking her life to have a baby.

"It would be best if you both were pregnant. Then when it gets hot, I'll be alone in the Old Summer Palace."

"It would be boring to play alone, Xia Changzai."

"Mingyu and Rushuang are much more interesting than you." Xia Dongchun held the pear blossoms. Although she didn't get the sachet this time, she got these pear blossoms of excellent quality, which was worth the trip. "It just so happens that I will check it for a few more days, so you can just focus on embroidering your sachet."

Ling Rong did not force it, thinking that Xia Dongchun was unwilling to tell her at this time because he had not yet found out the truth.

Wen Shichu was easy to deal with, he was just an imperial physician. But Prince Guo was a prince after all, so it would be difficult to find out about him, even if there were other people in Xia Dongchun's family.

Summer, winter and spring come and go quickly. Chengqian Palace suddenly became quiet. Ling Rong lay comfortably on the reclining chair under the pear tree, enjoying the rare quietness.

However, this palace was destined to be restless. It was said that at noon, Concubine Chun went to Yongshou Palace and said that she wanted to be with Zhen Huan no matter what, and begged Zhen Huan to plead with the emperor.

No one knew what Zhen Huan said, but Concubine Chun left Yongshou Palace crying. When she returned to Suiyuxuan, she cried for a long time with her personal maid.

In just one afternoon, all the concubines in the palace knew about the falling out between Concubine Chun and Zhen Huan. They also heard that the emperor had also gone to Suiyuxuan and Yongshou Palace and was annoyed to the point of being exhausted.

Lingrong was in Chengqian Palace, listening to the news brought by Baoque and laughing happily. She had no idea what had happened between the two sisters that they had such a big quarrel.

After all, their friendship in their previous life was solid, and they never had any conflicts until Chun Changzai passed away.

But after asking for a long time, I still couldn't find out what the two people talked about in the palace.

Not only Lingrong, but even Baoque felt it was a pity. She would run out from time to time and bring back some seemingly plausible news, but none of it was true.

Fortunately, the emperor, who knew the truth about the quarrel, came to Chengqian Palace. Without Lingrong asking, the emperor told everything like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

They were all trivial matters. Wanpin didn't want Chun Changzai to move to Yongshou Palace, so she said that Yongshou Palace was bestowed by the emperor alone, and she couldn't reject the emperor's feelings, so she asked Chun Changzai to understand things.

She also mentioned that if Chun Changzai was favored in the future, she would be able to live in a palace all by herself, and it is possible that she would become the mistress of a palace in the future. It would not be good for her to live in her Yongshou Palace.

But Chun Changzai mentioned that Wanpin had promised her to ask the emperor something in the imperial garden. She felt that Wanpin had deceived her and ran away crying out of sadness.

"This Concubine Chun is too petty." The emperor sighed. He really didn't know how to deal with the issue of friendship between women, so he took refuge in Lingrong Palace.

"Chun Changzai is still young after all," Lingrong poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea for the emperor, hoping to help him cool down in this summer, "She left the Yanxi Palace in the past because she wanted to be closer to her beloved sister Zhen.

The quarrel is just because she is sad that she cannot live with Wanpin. Your Majesty should not be upset about it."

"It's okay for her to cry easily when she's young, but if she starts quarrelling with a concubine like this, it will be hard for not only Wanwan, but me as well."

"Then..." Ling Rong hesitated for a moment. From what the emperor meant, he naturally didn't want Chun Changzai to move to Yongshou Palace and disturb his and Zhen Huan's good fortune. In this case, she had no choice but to follow his wishes and speak, "If the emperor is worried that she doesn't know the rules, just ask the head aunt of Sui Yuxuan to take good care of Chun Changzai.

After all, she is an elder in the palace, so it would be more considerate to take care of Chun Changzai."

"Hmm." The emperor hesitated for a moment, but nodded after a moment, "That's true. I wanted to send a nanny to teach her, but it's not a big mistake after all. Su Peisheng, who is the head aunt of Sui Yuxuan? Tell her to take good care of Chun Changzai."

Su Peisheng responded hesitantly this time. He looked at Lingrong hesitantly, then at the emperor.

Ling Rong naturally knew what Su Peisheng was hesitating about. After all, the head aunt of Sui Yuxuan should have been Cui Jinxi. But when Zhen Huan moved to Yongshou Palace, Cui Jinxi and Kang Luhai followed her, resulting in the absence of a head aunt and a chief eunuch in Sui Yuxuan.

Now it seems that the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not replace the Suiyuxuan, but no one knows where the original head aunt and chief eunuch of Yongshou Palace went.

"If you don't know, go ask." The emperor had no patience. Seeing that Su Peisheng refused to speak, he lowered his tone.

Su Peisheng had accompanied the emperor for many years, so he naturally knew that his hesitation displeased the emperor. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "The head aunt of Suiyuxuan is Cui Jinxi. She should have gone to Yongshou Palace with Wanpin now."

"Yongshou Palace?"

"Yes, it is in Yongshou Palace."

"You've done a good job." The displeasure on the emperor's face was already overflowing. Su Peisheng didn't dare to stand anymore. He knelt down obediently and begged the emperor to forgive him.

"Your Majesty, this is not Eunuch Su's fault." Ling Rong persuaded the emperor softly. She had deliberately brought up the matter of the head aunt, and now that the emperor was angered, she would naturally add fuel to the fire.

"I think it's because the Ministry of Internal Affairs didn't select a head aunt for Sui Yu Xuan in time. After all, Concubine Chun is not the head of a palace."

"The decree to confer Wanpin and move to the palace was issued at the same time. Why did the head aunt of Suiyuxuan follow Wanpin to Yongshou Palace?" The emperor ignored Lingrong's persuasion and was angered by the word "the master of a palace". "When Wanpin was still a noble lady, she lived with Chun Changzai. She was not the master of a palace, so Cui Jinxi recognized her as the master."

Su Peisheng already had some feelings for Cui Jinxi. Now hearing the emperor's harsh words, he was afraid that the emperor would order Cui Jinxi to be executed in a fit of rage.

"Your Majesty, I think Cui Jinxi has not yet learned the rules. I will go to Yongshou Palace and ask her to make amends for her crime and serve Concubine Chun well."

The emperor said all these words in a hurry, but he didn't say a word. He weighed the beads in his hand and looked at Su Peisheng's panic with cold eyes.

In fact, it was normal for concubines to take the maid with them when they moved to another palace, and there was nothing wrong with Concubine Wan and Cui Jinxi doing so.

But how could Su Peisheng not know that his master was the most suspicious. When he thought about how Concubine Wan had to obey the arrangements of the mistress of the palace when she was still a noble lady, he suspected that she was coveting the position of concubine or even imperial consort.

Otherwise, with Concubine Chun living in Suiyuxuan, she couldn't take Cui Jinxi away casually.

"Your Majesty," seeing that the emperor was unwilling to give permission for a long time, Ling Rong had to speak again. She wanted to give Su Peisheng some face, and she could make a good impression if she took the initiative. "After all, Wanpin was already a concubine when she left Suiyuxuan, so this matter can be regarded as an accident."

Lingrong's words successfully drew the emperor's attention to herself. The emperor knew that she had a bad relationship with Zhen Huan. But now she spoke impartially and did not do anything to take advantage of Wanpin's misfortune.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I only overstepped my bounds because I saw that Your Majesty was in a bad mood." Ling Rong softened her voice immediately when she saw that the Emperor was looking at her. She carefully reached out her hand and only dared to touch the Emperor's hand when she saw that the Emperor did not show any sign of rejection, "Your Majesty..."

"Forget it, go ahead and do it. Just ask Cui Jinxi to go back to Suiyuxuan, and leave the chief eunuch to Wanpin. After all, she is used to it, and it would be bad to change it all."

Su Peisheng finally got the emperor's approval. He immediately thanked him and gave Lingrong a grateful look when he stood up.

Lingrong just smiled. She took a quick glance and then turned her head to look intently at the emperor's profile, which made the emperor feel uncomfortable and touched his face.

"Your Majesty, please have a cup of chrysanthemum tea. I notice that your eyes are red and your lips are chapped. I think you have a fever." Lingrong handed the teacup to him and watched the emperor drink two cups before pouring herself a cup.

"Rong'er is the most considerate. I feel much more comfortable when I come to your place."

Even if someone else is the emperor, they will feel just as comfortable here. Ling Rong often coaxes the emperor, always pays attention to his mood, and always pretends to love the emperor terribly.

If a man came over, even if he didn't like Lingrong, he would never say anything bad.

"The Emperor is comfortable and at ease, but he is unwilling to come and visit often." Lingrong swallowed the question whether he was more comfortable in Yongshou Palace or Chengqian Palace. She couldn't remember clearly, but always felt that she had asked similar questions before.

She didn't remember what the emperor answered, but she always felt unhappy after hearing it.

"Now when I look at Concubine Wan, I always feel that she is not as pure and kind as before." The emperor sighed. He often dreamed of Wanwan these days. Sometimes he would dream that Wanwan punished Gan to kneel, causing her to have a miscarriage.

When he wakes up in the middle of the night, he always thinks of Concubine Wan asking An to pray for blessings. The two faces were so similar that he could hardly tell them apart.

But Gan was extremely disrespectful to Wanwan, and An was uncomfortable kneeling for a long time because she was pregnant, so Wanpin seized the opportunity to make a mistake.

Indeed, the only purely good person in this world is Chun Yuan.

Ling Rong naturally didn't know what was going on in the emperor's mind, but she knew that the emperor himself said that Zhen Huan was okay, but if she dared to agree, the emperor would immediately think that she was slandering Zhen Huan and she would have to be punished.

Therefore, she did not respond to the emperor's words, but just sighed silently.

Fortunately, the emperor still had a pile of memorials to review in the Yangxin Palace, so he only sat there for a while and then returned to the Palace.

Finally, after the emperor left, Lingrong laughed out loud behind closed the door. Cui Jinxi had helped Zhen Huan a lot in her previous life, but in this life, because Zhen Huan was favored early, the two had not experienced any hardships together, and the relationship between master and servant was not that strong.

But Cui Jinxi was still willing to follow Zhen Huan to Yongshou Palace, which showed that she knew very well that Zhen Huan would be favored, and as long as she stayed by her side, her status would definitely be high.

Su Peisheng was quite smart and made arrangements for Cui Jinxi without making any fuss.

But unfortunately, Lingrong knew about the feelings between them, and also knew that Cui Jinxi's support for Zhen Huan could only be helped a little by Chun Changyi's incident.

Cui Jinxi, if you were with Chun Changzai, you wouldn't have to suffer in Ganlu Temple. Maybe Chun Changzai could have been saved by you, and she wouldn't have lost her life in a muddle like in her previous life.

Su Peisheng acted quickly. Not long after Ling Rong sent the emperor away, she heard that Cui Jinxi had returned to Sui Yuxuan. Jiaoyue, the former head aunt of Yongshou Palace, also returned to serve Zhen Huan according to the rules.

Chun Changzai only needs a few tears to transfer away the most capable aunt around Zhen Huan. Zhen Huan must be angry at this time, thinking that her sister Chun'er is not simple.

"Zhaoshui, go and ask about the situation in Yongshou Palace, especially this Jiaoyue. Find out where she served before returning to Yongshou Palace."

"My lady, why not ask Xiao Yunzi?" Zhaoshui reminded Lingrong that Xiao Yunzi was also one of their own, and it would be more convenient to use him to investigate Yuxuan's affairs.

"Don't rush to use him," Ling Rong shook her head. She still insisted on using the servants she already had. After all, Xiao Yunzi had received the favor of Concubine Hua, so Ling Rong didn't dare to use him easily. "Just find out some of her preferences. When we meet Jiao Yue in the future, it will be easier for us to please her and bribe her."

That night, Ling Rong embroidered the sachet for Xia Dongchun. She couldn't wait to know about Wen Shichu and Prince Guo, to see which of the two had more leverage so that she could find fault with Zhen Huan and make her suffer more.

But after the sachet was delivered, Xia Dongchun did not send any news back for several days. He only sent Ru Shuang over, who briefly mentioned that Wen Shichu often treated and prescribed medicine for Shen Meizhuang, and then refused to say more.

Moreover, Xia Dongchun refused to leave the Yanx Palace in recent days. Ling Rong asked people to wait for her in the Imperial Garden and near the Yanx Palace for several days, but there was no chance to see her.

Now, if you want to know the information Xia Dongchun has found out, you can only take the risk and go to the Yanxi Palace to ask her in person.

But now that Concubine Tian is pregnant, Lingrong has to hide in the Yanx Palace, fearing that she will become someone else's scapegoat if she is not careful.

Ling Rong felt vaguely uneasy because the Queen was under house arrest in disguise and the harem could be said to have been calm for a whole month. The occasional minor matters of jealousy and vying for favor were all settled one by one by Concubine Hua.

But in fact, lurking beneath the calm surface is a turbulent undercurrent.

Concubine Duan who is trying hard to recuperate and prepare for the coming day, Shen Meizhuang who is taking the prescription for childbearing and trying hard to win favor, and Concubine Tian whose baby is already three months pregnant.

It seemed as if an invisible hand had gathered all these things and people together, just waiting for a slight push to cause a huge uproar in the palace.
