An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Ling Rong was confused by the barrage of questions from Prince Guo. She frowned and took several steps back, very puzzled. "May I ask, Your Majesty, are you here to investigate the case on the orders of the Emperor?"

Prince Guo was stunned for a moment, then he quickly realized that his tone was too harsh. He turned away unnaturally, and spoke again after a while, "I am just asking a simple question, and Lady An does not need to treat it as a major enemy."

Lingrong was almost laughing at his anger. A prince didn't think about sharing the emperor's worries, didn't think about his own happiness, and his mind was full of romantic things.

She even had a private relationship with the emperor's favorite concubine without knowing the consequences. If Zhen Huan had not been confined to Yongshou Palace, I don't know how these two people would have been able to have any contact in private.

They dare to have an affair under the emperor's nose. These two people really love seeking excitement.

"If the prince wants to ask about Concubine Zhen, he can go to the imperial court and ask the emperor. It is obviously an act of usurpation for the prince to contact the concubines without the emperor's permission."

Ling Rong did not want to say anything more and immediately turned around and wanted to leave. However, Prince Guo's mind was full of Zhen Huan and he kept asking why Concubine Zhen was demoted.

"I have found out that there is no solid evidence that Concubine Tian lost her child. How can it be that—"

"Your Highness!" Ling Rong couldn't bear to listen any longer, she interrupted Prince Guo's nonsense with a stern voice, and finally suppressed her anger and said, "I didn't want to say more, but Your Highness obviously doesn't recognize his own identity, and he has been thinking about reaching out to the emperor's harem all day long!

"Zhen Changzai is the emperor's concubine, and the prince is the emperor's seventeenth brother. You two can't even be called uncle and sister-in-law. Why do you have to get entangled in this and ignore the emperor's majesty!"

Lingrong was extremely angry, but thinking that she was the one who was in contact with a stranger, she did not dare to speak too loudly. She could only scold and back away, lest someone saw her and reported it to the emperor.

Prince Guo's face turned red after being scolded by this call. He finally remembered his identity, but in his heart he still felt that he and Zhen Changzai admired each other and there was no romance between them.

He completely forgot how he stared at Zhen Huan's feet that were splashing the water in the lake, and how he changed his poems to tease her.

He attributed everything to excessive drinking, but he didn't realize that it was the alcohol that revealed his true nature and made him no longer able to wear the mask of a gentleman.

"But Concubine Zhen would not do that." Prince Guo was still struggling. Like Shen Meizhuang, he was unwilling to believe that Zhen Huan also had imperfections.

"In the prince's heart, Concubine Zhen is very important." Ling Rong smiled and looked at Prince Guo with a rather mocking look, "If the man was unmarried, or if Concubine Zhen was no longer in the palace, the prince's attitude this time could be called affectionate.

But now that Concubine Zhen has entered the deep palace, she is responsible for the honor and disgrace of dozens of members of the Zhen family. The prince's love will only make her die without a burial place."

Lingrong really didn't want to say much to Prince Guo. She couldn't be like these two people who couldn't see clearly her own identity. After all, everything she did in the palace depended on the emperor's whim.

Prince Guo finally stopped stopping her, and Ling Rong hurried back to Shuimu Mingse. She had wanted to have a good tour of the Old Summer Palace, but Prince Guo ruined her mood, and she just wanted to have a good sleep.

But as soon as she lay down on the reclining chair, Ling Rong couldn't help thinking about what Prince Guo had said. For the sake of Zhen Huan, Prince Guo would definitely spare no effort to find out the truth about Concubine Tian's loss of her child.

But after investigating for a long time, he could only say dryly that there was insufficient evidence. He thought that the charge of murdering the heir to the throne had already been pinned on Zhen Huan's head and could never be removed.

However, Lingrong was also very clear that Zhen Huan had not suffered much in this life and could not conceal her edge well, which made everyone in the palace hate her.

By the time the confinement in Yongshou Palace is lifted, I'm afraid Zhen Huan will have been reborn from the ashes and will become even more difficult to deal with.

The best plan for now is to consolidate her favor while Zhen Huan is away, and it would be best if she could get pregnant and become a concubine.

She got pregnant right under the noses of the Queen and Concubine Hua, and even gave birth to a child successfully after ten months of pregnancy. Ling Rong felt a splitting headache just thinking about it.

However, pregnancy is not something that can be achieved just by wanting it. Ling Rong can only think carefully about the current situation and how to make the emperor love her more.

After thinking about it, Lingrong remembered that she had promised the emperor to give him a gift in the Old Summer Palace. At that time, Lingrong had no idea what she could give the emperor.

I know nothing about state affairs, so I can either talk to the emperor about calligraphy, painting, chess, or serve him well in his daily life. Otherwise, I can only try my best to deal with love affairs.

If it was the last method, he would be very good at it, but when he thought about being constantly despised by the emperor, he suddenly felt a little disgusted.

Forget it, it’s better to shoot three arrows at once and gain a reputation of being diligent.

Because she put all her attention on the emperor, Lingrong was favored by the emperor. Not only did she often serve him with writings, but she also received some valuable rewards.

But she knew very well that too much is as bad as too little, so she also advised the emperor to visit Concubine Jing and Xia Dongchun. These two people were now on good terms with her, so they would not be like the Queen and Zhen Huan, who would immediately trip her up.

As for Shen Meizhuang, it was purely her own fault, and Lingrong did not want to offend the Emperor at this time.

Nowadays, there are many beautiful girls in the harem, so Lingrong is not so worried about being targeted by the Queen and Concubine Hua.

However, the queen was obviously not satisfied. Xia Dongchun was simple-minded, and even if she was favored, it would only make it easier for the queen to extend her hand into the Imperial Household Department.

Concubine Tian was recuperating in the palace because of a miscarriage. The Queen still needed her to stay to counsel Zhen Huan, but she didn't want to ask her to come over. After much thought, the only one left was Empress Chunyuan's blessing, so she agreed.

Soon, the queen ordered someone to bring Fu Ying to live with Xia Dongchun in Shangxia Tianguang.

Although Fu Da Ying was brought to the Old Summer Palace by the Queen, she secretly came to Shuimu Mingse where Ling Rong was under the cover of night.

Lingrong was ready to go to bed, but because of Fu's visit, she had to be extremely alert.

"I congratulate the young lady on her promotion to a noble lady." Fu Da Ying still called herself a servant, and only dared to stand up when Ling Rong spoke.

Lingrong was no longer surprised by Fuzi calling herself a slave. Since she was determined to please her, she let her use her face, which was similar to Zhen Huan's, to belittle herself.

"You just arrived at the Old Summer Palace today, why are you here at Shuimu Mingse?"

"Of course I came to tell you something happy," Fu agreed with a faint smile, and immediately told you how Concubine Tian tortured Zhen Huan, "Concubine Tian bribed the guards and also dressed up as a ghost to scare Concubine Zhen.

But later he found it was useless, so he had people catch a lot of bees and put them in the bedroom, stinging Concubine Zhen badly. I heard that her face was red and swollen for several days.

Lingrong also didn't expect that Concubine Tian would only use some minor means to torture Zhen Huan's body.

After all, she didn't have the courage like Concubine Hua to force Zhen Huan to drink a bowl of safflower.

"If her pretty face continues to be tortured like this, I'm afraid it will never be able to compare with yours." Ling Rong did not show any joy on her face. She was more concerned about what Fu Zi was going to do here.

"My lady, you are praising me so much, but I am really flattered." Fuzi was very proud of her face, and couldn't stop smiling when she heard Lingrong praising her. "But in my heart, my lady is the one who looks like a fairy."

Lingrong didn't believe a word of the compliments on her appearance. She just shook her fan and waited for Fuzi to reveal her true intention.

Fuzi laughed dryly for a while, and finally couldn't help but tell her the purpose of her visit, "My lady, this time I came to Yuanmingyuan because the Empress wanted to do something."

Seeing Fuzi hesitating, Lingrong became quite impatient. She knew in her heart that no matter what the Queen wanted to do, Fuzi would not tell her everything without reservation.

But just a few words are enough. She likes to look for support everywhere, so just don't refuse.

"The Queen thinks that the young lady is too favored, and wants me to find a way to take away the young lady's favor."

Ling Rong sneered. The competition for favor in the harem was no secret. Why did she bother to tell herself, "It's your ability to take it away. It's not a big deal."

"The Queen gave me this recipe."

Fu Zi took out a piece of paper from his arms, Zhao Shui quickly took it and handed it to Ling Rong.

When she unfolded it, Lingrong discovered that it was actually the secret recipe for having a child given to her by the queen in her previous life. It was said to be extremely effective and would definitely help her conceive a boy.

"The Queen really values ​​you. If you get a dragon fetus, you will definitely be loved by the Emperor. Maybe you can be promoted to the position of concubine like Zhen Changzai in the past."

Ling Rong was shaking the paper. This prescription was extremely powerful. In her previous life, she was able to get pregnant even though her body was damaged by the Xiji Pills. Now that Fuzi had this prescription, she only needed the emperor to favor her for a few days to get what she wanted.

But she didn't believe that Fukuko would be kind enough to give her the prescription. After all, no matter who got the disease, they would want to hide it for fear of being discovered. How could they give it out so openly?

"Keep it. I will stay here in Shuimu Mingse, waiting for the good news of your pregnancy."

Fuzi grabbed the paper and looked at Lingrong several times, as if she couldn't understand why Lingrong didn't accept the prescription. "Young Master, don't you want it?"

"I had a miscarriage in the past, which damaged my foundation. The imperial physician also said that it would be difficult for me to have children in the future, and any prescription I use would be useless."

How can the Queen's things be used casually? Although this secret recipe for having a child is effective, it will not only drain your body, but the children born will also not grow up. If it is really such a good thing, I am afraid the Queen would already have several princes now.

"I've noted your kindness." Ling Rong guessed that Fuzi was either instructed by the Queen to deliberately reveal the secret recipe to completely ruin his own body, or Fuzi didn't dare to use it indiscriminately and wanted to find a sucker to try it out first.

It just so happened that I had taught her a method to gain favor before, so I brought this recipe as a "thank you gift" and made Lingrong the unlucky idiot.

Fuzi wanted to say a few more words of advice, but Lingrong yawned, waved her hand and told Zhaoshui to chase them away.

"Ying Ding, you have been traveling a long way today. It is better to have a good rest first and get enough energy to serve the emperor. This is the most important thing." Zhaoshui helped Fu Ying Ding to get up and walked her out of Fengle Pavilion with a smile. "It is late at night and the road is long. Please walk slowly."

Fuzi hesitated for a long time, and finally left with the lantern. When Zhaoshui returned to the palace, Lingrong was already lying on the reclining chair, sleeping in a daze.

On the second day after Fuzi arrived, the Queen held a banquet at Penglai Yaotai and invited all the sisters in the harem to drink.

Since Penglai Yaotai is surrounded by water, all the concubines need to take a boat to get to the island. Since this is the first large-scale banquet since coming to the garden, the emperor and the queen mother are very polite.

The vast blue sea, the fairy mountains and pavilions, Lingrong was amazed at the exquisite architecture when she first arrived on the island. Xia Dongchun followed her and rarely did not mock Lingrong for being worldly-wise.

After all, this was the first time for Xia Dongchun to come to Penglai Yaotai. Even though he had seen all kinds of magnificent palaces, he was still shocked by this fairyland on earth.

Not far away, descendants of the Eight Banners stood at the bow of a boat that was hung with flags and streamers of various colors. From a distance, one could be infected by the vigorous momentum and also developed a desire to race on the sea.

Xia Dongchun was the most excited, his eyes drifted straight towards the Eight Banners descendants. He wished he could be a man too so he could do something earth-shaking.

"If Concubine Xia were a man, she would surely be a brave warrior."

"My Xia family has been brave and loyal to our country for generations. It's a pity that I can't join the army. I can only watch you and do some embroidery work every day."

When Lingrong heard these familiar words, she thought of Xia Dongchun in her previous life who was given a dozen scars by Concubine Hua. They said the same words, but their circumstances in the previous life and this life were completely different.

In fact, Ling Rong had also thought about this: if she still had a conflict with Xia Dongchun during the talent show, would this life be exactly the same as before? She would be able to predict the development of everything and climb to a high position smoothly.

"What are you thinking about, An Lingrong?" Xia Dongchun waved her hand in front of Lingrong. She had completely forgotten that Lingrong was now of a higher status than her. "You are the emperor's concubine. No matter how powerful and handsome the young men of the Eight Banners are, they can only watch. Do you understand?"

Ling Rong was shocked by her words, and wished she could immediately step forward to stop Xia Dongchun from talking nonsense, "Don't talk nonsense, you are really not afraid of death."

"Look at your guts," Xia Dongchun said disdainfully. She stroked the tassels on her earrings and motioned Lingrong to look at Fuzi who was sitting at the end of the banquet. "She has something interesting to show us. You are so curious, I'll tell you in advance."

Ling Rong smiled knowingly. What else could Fu Zi's good performance be? It was nothing more than the Jinghong dance that she practiced day and night. She was probably afraid that the Queen had personally hired someone to teach her so that she could be more like Queen Chunyuan.

She patted Xia Dongchun's arm and without giving Xia Dongchun any chance to keep her in suspense, she walked into the banquet first, found her seat and sat down.

Next to her was Concubine Cao holding Princess Wen Yi. As soon as Ling Rong sat down, the two nodded to each other as a sign of greeting.

Concubine Cao was not bad looking, but she dressed in an old-fashioned way. Lingrong knew that she was under the command of Concubine Hua and had to dress like that.

She is so scheming that it would be much easier for the two of them to fight against the Queen together.

But Concubine Hua is still alive, and it is not yet time for Cao Qinmo to shine.
