An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Lingrong and Jingpin talked about pregnancy for a long time. Jingpin had been childless for many years and did have some doubts about her body.

After all, several new concubines had become pregnant one after another, and although she had regained favor, there was still no good news.

Because she had no hope of having offspring, Jingpin had not tried to win over the imperial physician over the years. Even if she had made up her mind, she didn't know who to find.

Unfortunately, the imperial physicians that Lingrong was familiar with were all in the palace. She had also arranged for a few in the garden, but she still couldn't trust them completely.

After all, Jingpin's body is similar to Huafei's, and ordinary imperial doctors dare not tell the truth.

Even if an imperial physician like Wen Shichu, who would rather sacrifice his nine clans than his beauty, took the patient's pulse, I'm afraid he would keep silent and just prescribe some ordinary conditioning prescriptions.

After all, which imperial physician would dare to ask the emperor whether Concubine Jing wanted to be treated the same as Concubine Hua, not to be allowed to know that her body had been ruined by Huan Yixiang, and not to be allowed to have the chance to give birth to an heir to the emperor?

"Sister, this matter cannot be rushed. It is more important to hold on to the power in your hands," Ling Rong said to comfort her. "When we return to the palace, I have a familiar imperial physician who can help you take your pulse.

Moreover, I have asked Baoque to help me find out the prescription for Hui Guiren's health these days. When she comes, you and I can treat her together."

Although it was just a gift from a friend, Ling Rong's words were sincere. When Jingpin heard that Shen Meizhuang had used the prescription to heal her, she was also somewhat tempted. "Thank you, sister. I'm afraid Concubine Hui is reluctant to release the prescription."

"It's okay even if you don't want to leave," Ling Rong comforted Jingpin, "You won't stay in this garden for too long anyway. Wait until September when the summer heat has completely subsided, and then go back and take good care of yourself."

Jingpin sighed slightly. She could actually ask an imperial physician to take her pulse. But for some reason, she had a vague feeling that the imperial physician in the palace would not tell her the truth.

I just want to have a child, why is it so difficult?

"Sister Jing, Sister An, what are you talking about?" Speaking of Cao Cao, he appeared. There were many people following Shen Meizhuang, probably they were all there to protect the royal heir in her belly. Lingrong saw Fangruo with her sharp eyes, and secretly sighed in her heart that the emperor really cared about her.

Even when Zhen Huan was pregnant, the ceremony was not as grand as Shen Meizhuang's.

As soon as Concubine Jing saw Shen Meizhuang coming, she immediately arranged for someone to bring her a cushion and carefully arranged for this precious guest to sit down.

"Sister is pregnant, why did she come so early? The banquet was busy, if she got bumped, it would be harmful to the heir."

Shen Meizhuang sat down calmly, and only drank the fruit drinks and snacks after the imperial physician had examined them. "Sister is also responsible for assisting the six palaces, so I have to come and see about the banquet, so that I can feel at ease."

Lingrong sat with Jingpin and chatted with Shen Meizhuang. After all, Lingrong was not aware of what Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan had said, so she still regarded Shen Meizhuang as a sister in the harem with whom she had a good relationship.

Yesterday, Lingrong was thinking about holding a banquet, so she stayed up all night to embroider a few bellybands for the royal heir in Shen Meizhuang's belly as a gift.

Because Lingrong didn't want to use Zhen Huan's fabric to make clothes, she simply took advantage of Shen Meiyu's pregnancy and cut the precious fabric sent by Zhen Huan to make some bellybands for the child.

This gift was not expensive, but with Lingrong's embroidery skills and thoughtfulness, it became a very precious gift.

Shen Meizhuang now believed that Ling Rong's comfort that day was intended to sow discord between her and Zhen Huan, so she made up her mind to distance herself from this scheming person.

But after all, they were in the palace, and they would see each other every day. Therefore, even though he had some complaints about Lingrong, he still smiled and said thank you for his sister's kindness.

Just as Jingpin was about to talk about her gift, a palace maid came over to ask about the teacups.

"My Lady Jingpin, I wonder if the Queen Mother will attend the banquet today. Should we prepare the teacups according to the rules?"

Thinking of the fact that the Empress Dowager had given Shen Meiyu a hairpin yesterday, Concubine Jing hesitated for only a moment, then ordered the little maid to prepare all the tea cups immediately, and even added an extra banquet table on the high seat.

The little girl wiped her sweat, agreed hastily, and planned to go to the back to tell others to prepare new teacups and tables.

But when she passed by Shen Meizhuang, she was stopped. The little girl saluted in a panic, thinking that she had just forgotten to greet her master.

"It's such a hot day, it's hard for you to run around for today's banquet. Go find Caixing later and get some money for tea and snacks, then you can have a good rest."

Upon hearing Shen Meizhuang's instructions, Concubine Jing frowned slightly, but it was not a big deal after all, and she returned to normal in a moment.

"It's still early to leave the banquet. Go down and rest for a while, then do what Jingpin tells you to do."

When the little girl heard that she could take a rest, she immediately agreed happily. After bowing to the three people again, she slowly retreated.

Jingpin was a little shocked by Shen Meizhuang's sudden arrangement. After all, the Queen had given her full authority to organize the banquet.

Although Shen Meizhuang had the power to assist in the management of the six palaces, if she wanted to intervene in this matter, she should have asked me beforehand. How could she change the order in front of me?

Lingrong was the most sensitive. When she saw Jingpin's expression, she knew that she was just as surprised as she was by Shen Meiyu's sudden "kindness".

Now, everyone in Xifeng Xiuse is busy preparing for the banquet, fearing that some master might use unsuitable utensils, or that something might harm the fetus or the body.

There was even a group of people busy decorating the banquet and arranging the seating arrangements right in front of Shen Meizhuang.

But she said lightly, telling the little girl not to rush to hold the banquet, showing some consideration for the servants.

"Sister Shen is pregnant now, but she's still worrying about these trivial matters," An Lingrong said jokingly, "Today is to celebrate Sister Shen's pregnancy, so Sister Shen should just sit here and wait for the delicious food and wine to be served to her."

"Sister An, don't talk nonsense. Concubine Shen is pregnant now, so she can't drink alcohol casually." Jingpin gently tapped Lingrong's forehead. She knew that Lingrong was helping her find an excuse to find someone else to add tables and chairs for the empress dowager. "Even you don't know much about the taboos for pregnant women. It seems that I still have to keep an eye on these things personally."

Jingpin took advantage of Lingrong's words and proposed to supervise the palace servants who were preparing. Shen Meizhuang thought Jingpin was worried that she had eaten something that a pregnant woman shouldn't eat, and gave her a grateful smile.

"Lingrong still has to congratulate sister for getting what she wished for." But Zhen Huan has already been released, so you don't need to use the child in your belly to plead with the emperor.

Shen Meizhuang was really happy. The emperor treated her like a treasure and sent imperial doctors and maids to serve her at Bitong Academy all the time. It was completely different from when Zhen Huan was pregnant and there was no protection at all.

This made Shen Meizhuang believe what Ling Rong said before, thinking that the emperor really loved her, so he was so cautious, fearing that something would happen to her and the child.

Especially last night, the emperor, faced with Huan'er's beauty and affection, still went back to Bitong Academy with me. If he hadn't been worried about the child, I'm afraid they would have spent another night together.

"I've been looking forward to having this child for a long time. Now that I finally got my wish, it feels so unreal." Shen Meizhuang held Ling Rong's hand and talked about the restrictions imposed on her by the imperial physician and Fang Ruo. Even her favorite Biluochun was not allowed to be used too much.

"There has been no happy event in the palace for a long time, and the emperor cares about my sister the most, so it is not excessive to be cautious."

Shen Meizhuang was originally shy, and her face turned redder when she heard Lingrong say that, but she still looked dignified, "If my sister is pregnant, the emperor will definitely be concerned."

Lingrong touched her belly and found that she was indeed pregnant, but she would never let the emperor and the concubines know at this time. The best option was to quietly wait for the baby to be born under the light of her sister.

She pretended to be disappointed, her eyes drifted towards the door, and saw Zhen Huan, Xia Dongchun and Fu Changzai approaching slowly, "I'm afraid Lingrong doesn't have such good fortune as her sister."

"Lingrong, Huan'er is actually very regretful..."

"Sister Mei, what bad things are you saying about Huan'er behind her back?" Zhen Huan quickened her pace, leaving Xia Dongchun and Fu Changzai behind. She gently took Shen Meizhuang's hand and glanced at Ling Rong who was sitting opposite her. "I pay my respects to Noble Lady An. May your majesty live long and healthily."

"Get up, Zhen Changzai." Ling Rong did not make things difficult for her this time, and immediately raised her hand to tell Zhen Huan to get up. "Changzai is smart, she remembered the rules of greeting after just one try."

"With the guidance of the noble lady, I will naturally learn it." Zhen Huan's face was not shaken at all. She and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other tacitly. "Otherwise, if you are bullied by others again, it will only make you suffer."

How could Lingrong not hear that Zhen Huan was implicitly mocking her for using her position to bully others? But she has always been a mean person who becomes arrogant when she succeeds, so there is no reason for her to be afraid of Zhen Huan's mockery.

She even nodded, seeming to agree with what Zhen Huan said, "It's right for Concubine Zhen to be cautious. After all, if Concubine Hua meets someone who doesn't know the rules, she will probably use more direct means to make her remember the rules."

Xia Dongchun behind her chuckled. She remembered very clearly how Zhen Huan was slapped, and she would look back at it from time to time.

But Lingrong didn't dare to laugh like Xia Dongchun, so she could only cover half of her face with a fan, revealing a pair of curved eyes.

"Noble Lady Hui and Noble Lady An are both here. Did Concubine Xia forget to pay her respects?" Zhen Huan would not be knocked down by a laugh. She slowly turned her head and glanced at Xia Dongchun and Fuzi with an especially sharp look.

Fuzi squatted down and saluted in a panic, but Xia Dongchun was very leisurely. He greeted Shen Meizhuang first and then Lingrong in a standard manner.

That look was simply a model for Zhen Huan, telling her to take a good look and see how a ceremony should be performed.

This is completely different from the Xia Dongchun in the previous life who would make mistakes even when performing etiquette. Ling Rong sometimes wonders if this Xia Dongchun is also a reborn person. How can he be similar to the previous life, yet not quite the same?

But if Xia Dongchun was really reborn, I'm afraid the first thing she would do would be to kill me. Why would she be like this now, helping me to look down on Zhen Huan?

Zhen Huan was so angry at Xia Dongchun that she took a deep breath. Xia Dongchun had never made any big mistakes. The only time was when she seduced the emperor before meeting the queen.

But since this matter involves the emperor, Zhen Huan hesitated again and again, and could only say sarcastically, "Xia Changzai really knows how to be polite and observes etiquette. Since she entered the palace, no one can find the slightest fault with her."

Xia Dongchun was not stupid, so she naturally knew what Zhen Huan was alluding to. It had always been her, Xia Dongchun, who bullied others, so how could such a vicious woman who harmed others dare to challenge her.

She suddenly stood up, pointed her finger at Zhen Huan's nose, and shouted at her in a hoarse voice, "Bitch."

If Lingrong hadn't held her back, Xia Dongchun would have rushed over and slapped Zhen Huan's face hard, even though the wound had healed and she had forgotten the pain.

Zhen Huan was startled, but still remained calm. She held Shen Meizhuang's hand tightly and looked into Xia Dongchun's eyes without avoiding.

"Okay, we are all sisters, why do you have to quarrel like black-eyed chickens?" When Shen Meizhuang saw that her Huan'er was at a disadvantage, she immediately jumped out, holding up her position as Concubine Hui and the power to assist in managing the six palaces, and told everyone to stop quarreling.

Ling Rong took advantage of the situation and pulled Xia Dongchun to sit aside, far away from Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang. "How can you win an argument with her?"

"I just despise her arrogance. If she knew etiquette, how could she be slapped by Concubine Hua? If she was truly kind, how could she cause you to lose your child?"

Xia Dongchun was furious and deliberately raised her voice so that Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang could hear, "What are you pretending to be a loving sister? When you are in trouble, you can only cry and wail a few words, and you can't even find any evidence!"

Who can compare with you, a know-it-all? Ling Rong comforted Xia Dongchun while secretly sabotaging them in her heart. After all, the two of them were confined because of "iron evidence".

"Evil woman, bitch." Xia Dongchun was so angry that she pulled Lingrong's hand and cursed Zhen Huan harshly. Lingrong had no choice but to smile along and nod her head occasionally to show that she believed in Xia Dongchun's judgment.

Only after the banquet was ready and the other concubines had arrived did Xia Dongchun stop talking, and obediently sat in her seat, waiting for the Queen to come and start the banquet.

What no one expected was that the Queen Mother actually came to the banquet. Fortunately, Concubine Jing insisted on preparing tables, chairs and food in advance and did not lose her manners in front of the Queen Mother.

"Jingpin has done a good job. Sit down and have a good rest." In order to support Jingpin in her competition with Concubine Hua, the Queen Mother personally taught Jingpin for a long time. Today, in order to show her importance to Jingpin, she praised her several times in a row.

Concubine Hua, who was sitting nearby, could hardly maintain the smile on her face. While the Empress Dowager's attention was diverted to Shen Meiyu, she glared at Concubine Jing.

"This is the first child after the Emperor ascended the throne, and he must be taken care of carefully. Queen, have you arranged the staff?" The Queen Mother knew the Queen's methods very well. The Emperor had no children, and the Queen had made "indispensable contributions."

But the children in the palace died one after another, and there were rumors among the ministers that the emperor was unkind and was being punished by God.

If this child cannot be born, I am afraid that the throne will be unstable.

"In reply to the Queen Mother, everything has been arranged. Even the nanny who gave birth has been invited to Bitong Academy in advance."
