An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

When Prince Guo heard the Queen Mother's question, he could only walk forward quickly and tell her about his mother's recent situation.

No matter how unhappy the emperor was, he could not offend the empress dowager, so he could only let it go and not question the reason why Prince Guo entered the palace and why he was entangled with Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan finally changed into her dance costume and quietly returned to her seat, her heart still beating fast. This stunning dance did not win the emperor's favor, but instead made her lose face in front of everyone.

She could never have imagined that her dance steps would be similar to Fu Changzai's.

Things have not been smooth sailing since she entered the palace, and the days when she became Wanpin seemed like something that happened in her previous life.

Why did the emperor's favor change overnight? In the past, the emperor held me in high esteem and doted on me wholeheartedly. Now that I have put aside my pride and status to please him, I still cannot go back to the way I was before.

Is it true that the emperor is so heartless that he prefers the newcomers over the old ones?

Zhen Huan's heart ached. The emperor's indifference and distrust had already deeply hurt her.

She was tortured and abused in Yongshou Palace, but the emperor never asked about it, and did not even punish Concubine Tian who did it.

And today, the Emperor was even more distant from her. She was mocked by the concubines, but the Emperor did not even show any protection for her and only gave her some useless jewelry and clothes.

No matter how valuable these material possessions are, what use are they? How can they protect you from the attacks in the palace?

Zhen Huan was in a low mood. Shen Meizhuang watched her from afar and wanted to go forward to comfort her, but they were sitting far away from each other. She could only ask Caixing to pass on a few words of comfort while delivering some pastries.

Now that the two of them have formed an alliance and she is pregnant, she can only rely on Huan'er to win the emperor's heart.

Today's dance performance was originally discussed privately by the two of them, but they never expected that Huan'er would lose her pride and actually imitate Fu Changzai.

Did she really think that if she danced the same dance steps, the emperor would like her more?

Now it seems that Huan'er can no longer win the emperor's heart, so she can only find ways to win over other concubines to consolidate their positions in the palace.

An Lingrong and Huan'er are incompatible, and he does not like her divisive nature. Now that he thinks about it carefully, only Chun Changzai, who is far away in the palace, can be used.

In addition to Zhen Huan, Fu Changzai also took the initiative to perform. She did not dance, but instead wrote a song to congratulate Shen Meizhuang on her pregnancy.

She was not good at poetry and literature, and only learned a little from studying with the emperor. Therefore, her lyrics were just standard and did not violate etiquette.

The emperor felt the most accomplished. He revealed a proud look and told Prince Guo how Concubine Fu wrote this poem under his guidance.

"Your Majesty is already an extraordinary person in poetry and literature. I never thought that the disciple he taught would be so outstanding. Given time, I will not be able to match him."

The emperor laughed out loud, accepting all the compliments from Prince Guo. "Old Seventeen, you are known for your romantic reputation, and I don't know how many girls in the boudoir have fallen in love with you. Now that you are twenty-five, you can't delay getting married any longer."

The Queen Mother beside him also nodded, and before Prince Guo could find an excuse to refuse, she spoke, "It's my fault. My health is getting worse day by day, and I forgot that Yunli's mansion has not had a wife yet.

I remember that Meng Jingxian, the daughter of the Duke of Pei, had been in love with Yunli since she met him once when she was a child. "

"Duke Pei loves his daughter deeply and has mentioned this to me many times in private. His words are sincere and touching." The emperor looked calm. He glanced at Prince Guo who was sitting on pins and needles, and said, "Seventeenth Old Man, what do you think of Mrs. Meng?"

Prince Guo already had Zhen Huan in his heart at this time, so naturally he didn't want to have anything to do with other women. He immediately stood up and bowed, repeatedly expressing his refusal.

"I already have someone I like in my heart, but I am thousands of miles away from her. In my heart, she is my only wife."

Lingrong was listening from below and almost laughed out loud. She looked at Zhen Huan who was still grieving for the emperor, and then looked at Prince Guo who was speaking earnestly from above.

She really couldn't understand why coveting her brother's concubine and flirting with the emperor's concubines was considered a sign of deep affection in Prince Guo's own eyes.

In her previous life, she had guessed that Prince Guo and Zhen Huan were having an affair, and in this life, the two of them are entangled together again. I can only say that it is fate and character that make it so, and that these two people are destined not to be content with the status quo.

But at this moment, Zhen Huan was in no mood to appreciate Prince Guo's deep affection, and Prince Guo's words would only disgust the emperor.

As expected, the Emperor did not allow Prince Guo to continue his romantic life, and he and the Queen Mother agreed to marry Meng Jingxian into Prince Guo's palace as his wife.

No matter how much Prince Guo refused, it was of no use. In order to put an end to his coveting of his concubines, the Emperor directly issued an edict, forcing Prince Guo to kneel down and accept the order, and marry Meng Jingxian as his wife.

The emperor was in a really good mood now. He waved his hand and rewarded Prince Guo with many gifts. Even the servant who served Prince Guo received a generous sum of money.

The banquet finally ended in a joyous atmosphere. Lingrong sat for a long time, feeling sore in the waist and legs.

After returning to Shuimu Mingse, Zhaoshui still gently rubbed her for a long time before she gradually recovered.

"My lady, today's incident is strange. Concubine Zhen actually secretly learned Concubine Fu's dance steps." Zhaoshui really didn't understand. Although she didn't like Concubine Zhen very much, she always felt that she should not be the kind of person who likes to steal skills.

Lingrong hummed, but didn't know how to explain to Zhaoshui. After all, Zhen Huan was not stealing any skills at all. It was just because of her that she taught Fuzi the dance steps that Zhen Huan had worked hard to research in advance.

It originally belonged to her, so of course it's exactly the same.

"This is indeed very strange," Ling Rong did not tell the truth, "Maybe it is indeed a spiritual connection between the dancers."

Because Fu Changzai pleased the emperor very much today, the emperor naturally went to rest during the day.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang discussed in the Bitong Academy in the middle of the night and finally decided to find a way to bring Chun Changzai to the palace, to make her win the favor of the emperor and consolidate their positions in the palace.

"Sister Mei, Chun Changzai is only a young girl now, she is a little too young."

Shen Meizhuang held Zhen Huan's hand, and the two sisters looked at each other in silence, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes, "Huan'er, now the imperial concubine in the palace is eyeing you covetously, and I'm pregnant, and you're the only one who's isolated and helpless, and I'm always worried.

We two sisters were of one mind when we entered the palace, but we still suffered a lot. I am doing this for your own good. Do you understand my thoughts, sister?"

"Sister Mei, Huan'er understands, she understands everything." Zhen Huan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She used to be proud of her beauty and talent, but now that she came to the palace, she realized that these could only win temporary favor, not lifelong love.

Look at Nian Shilan. No matter how rude and impolite she was, the emperor would not treat her badly because her family had military power.

"But we still have to ask Chun Er. You said she is still young." Shen Meizhuang was worried that Chun Chang Zai was too innocent and might not be liked by the emperor. "Or, we can support the maids around us to take the throne."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan immediately shook her head. Liuzhu was fine, but Huanbi was the daughter of a criminal. If the emperor found out that she was his sister, the entire Zhen family would be doomed.

"Since Huanbi was caned, her waist has been in trouble. How can she serve the emperor? As for Liuzhu... Sister, she has been with me since she was a child, and I can't bear to let her go.

Sister Mei said so, but you already have a suitable candidate here. "

Shen Meizhuang was choked by this question. Juqing was ordinary in appearance and it was rare for the emperor to like her. Fuling was a maid in the Old Summer Palace and could not be fully trusted.

As for Caixing... I was also reluctant to let her go. Besides, she was my maid. If she really won the emperor's favor, and competed with me for the emperor in the future, what should I do?

Now whenever I think about it, I feel uncomfortable, as if my bones and flesh are being cut.

"……not at all."

Zhen Huan couldn't help feeling unhappy when she heard this answer. She only wanted to send my people to the dragon bed, but was unwilling to offer her own maids.

What is the purpose of proposing this idea?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Zhen Huan immediately suppressed it in panic. No, Sister Mei just thought of this idea, she didn't do it on purpose.

Everyone may have such bad thoughts occasionally, but they would never have such thoughts between the two sisters.

"Then... let's ask Concubine Chun what she thinks. If she agrees, we will ask the Emperor to take her over."

"But you have to explain to her clearly that the palace is dangerous," Shen Meizhuang felt very scared when she thought of the things they had experienced, "Fortunately, she has Cui Jinxi by her side, who is quite familiar with you.

It will also be easier for us to send a message back to the palace."

"Sister Mei, there is one more thing." After thinking it over, Zhen Huan finally expressed her worries, "Empress Hua is very jealous, so you must be careful. Doctor Wen is someone Huan Er has known since childhood, so you can trust him.

If you feel any discomfort, please remember to ask Doctor Wen to come and check your pulse."

As soon as children were involved, Shen Meizhuang became cautious. She trusted her sisters and naturally also trusted Wen Shichu.

However, there are already Imperial Physicians Zhang and Zhou serving in Bitong Academy, so Shen Meizhuang can't use the excuse of adding Wen Shichu.

"How about this, let Doctor Wen come to check my pulse every five days. It won't be too noticeable, and it will also allow us to have an idea and avoid being harmed by some people with ulterior motives."

"That's great. I hope the little prince in your belly can grow up healthy. This way, we two sisters can truly gain a foothold in this palace." Zhen Huan sighed deeply. Now that the emperor was being hot and cold towards her, she felt timid in doing things.

How wonderful it would be if I could go back to the time when I first entered the palace with the emperor. But he was so heartless and unfaithful that he betrayed the sincerity of his daughter.

If we have to compare, in fact, the emperor is much inferior to Prince Guo in appearance. In terms of poetry and books, the emperor has a stronger murderous intention, unlike the prince who can guess his thoughts.

Even today, Prince Guo was accompanying himself with music and dancing. At that moment, he seemed to be bathed in the early spring sunshine, like a free wild goose, flying away from the deep palace.

It's a pity that when she came to her senses, she was still in this deep palace, being bullied and ridiculed by all kinds of women, and the emperor only gave her some clothing materials, making her lose face.

"Just having this one child is not enough for me. Huan'er, you must take good care of your body. It is also important to be pregnant with an heir to the throne.

Look at Concubine Qi. Even though she is old and ugly, she doesn’t have to worry about the fading of love because she has the Third Prince to rely on.

I asked my father to find this recipe. It is very helpful in helping with pregnancy. Take it and use it."

Zhen Huan stroked her face and finally took the prescription in her hand. No matter what, it was impossible for her to be with Prince Guo, and she should not cross the line even if her heart was moved.

Finally, the two agreed on this, and one of them started writing a letter and ordered someone to send it back to the palace as fast as possible. The other one found Doctor Wen and got medicine according to the prescription to help with pregnancy.

However, one day, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang received a reply from the palace. Chun Changzai thought they could go to the Old Summer Palace for fun, so she happily agreed.

Shen Meizhuang also used the excuse that she was bored during her pregnancy and wanted to chat with Chun Changzai and reminisce about the past. She successfully asked for the emperor's favor and brought Chun Changzai to the Old Summer Palace.

At the beginning, Chun Changzai still wanted to live with Zhen Huan, but Zhen Huan used the excuse that it was Concubine Hui who asked her to come, and if they didn't live together, it would make the emperor unhappy, so she lightly rejected it.

This made Chun Changzai very depressed. She became friends with Zhen Huan as soon as she entered the palace, but Zhen Huan repeatedly refused to live with her, which made Chun Changzai begin to realize that the sisterhood between them was not reliable.

However, Cui Jinxi often advised her that life would be more interesting with more friends in the palace. She convinced herself not to worry and just continue to be friends with Zhen Huan.

But why is it still like this today? Is there really no sisterhood between them? Is everything just like what Mammy said, just exploitation?

"My lady, my lady, when I went to Bitong Academy to ask for a prescription for you, I ran into Concubine Chun.

Concubine Chun and Concubine Hui live together in Bitong Academy, and they look so familiar with each other, just like sisters."

Ling Rong unfolded the prescription, glanced at it casually, and then placed it on the table. "Did Lady Hui ask you to pass on any message?"

"Lady Hui said that this recipe is just an ordinary recipe for regulating menstruation. If the young lady wants to get pregnant, it depends on fate."

"Okay, let's go to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine. Remember to tell the Imperial Physician that this is the prescription given by Concubine Hui, who recommended it to me because it worked well for me."

Baoque listened carefully and wrote down every word Lingrong said before rushing to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine.

While Baoque was away, Lingrong wrote down the prescription and asked Zhaoshui to go to Jingpin and deliver the prescription. "Remember to bring this prescription back. If Jingpin asks, just say I forgot to keep a copy."

Zhaoshui knew that Lingrong didn't want to leave any evidence, so he blew away the ink marks, and then Baoque took a step forward to remove Shuimu Mingse.

Of course, this prescription for regulating menstruation is not enough. Any imperial physician can find out the effect of this prescription. Even if Concubine Hua got it, she would think that this prescription is fake and would want to dig out the real prescription.

The Queen's recipe for helping pregnancy came in handy at this time.
