An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

After returning to Chengqian Palace after several months, Lingrong actually felt as if she was in another world.

The Old Summer Palace is huge and has beautiful scenery. I don’t have to pay my respects to the empress all day long. I was so happy.

Now that I am pregnant, I don’t know how many dangers I will face if I return to the palace.

Moreover, after Baoque asked to leave, the Queen assigned a few more palace maids to Lingrong in accordance with the regulations of the noble lady.

Lingrong didn't need to think too much, there must be the Queen's people among them.

In fact, the queen has one or two spies in every palace, but some concubines are not favored, and it is even difficult for them to see the emperor for years.

Those spies would not be used, and anyone who saw them would think they were the most loyal servants.

Lingrong is now a noble lady, and should have 4 palace maids and 4 eunuchs serving her, excluding the head aunt of Chengqian Palace and the chief eunuch.

The only two people who can be considered confidants around him are Zhaoshui and Xiaochizi.

Baojuan went, and Baoque also went. This time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent three palace maids at once, and I'm afraid none of them are capable.

"Let Aunt Fang Jing train them well and see if there are one or two who can be trusted.

The chief eunuch of Chengqian Palace is old and unwilling to serve, so Xiao Chizi has to take care of the remaining three."

Ling Rong felt a headache when she mentioned the eunuchs and maids serving in the palace. The young eunuchs were fine, after all, they couldn't get close to her, and they could just complete the tasks they were told to do.

This personal maid was not careless at all and got tricked accidentally.

"Zhaoshui, if it weren't for you, I don't know how difficult it would be to navigate this deep palace."

"My lady has been worried these days," Zhaoshui brought the pregnancy medicine to Lingrong, "At least we have the Imperial Physician He and the Imperial Physician Wei in the palace, so I think my lady doesn't need to worry too much about this pregnancy."

Ling Rong picked up the spoon and stirred the bitter black medicine. She couldn't help but pause when she heard the name of Doctor He. After all, this man was raised by the Fu Cha family. How could she dare to tell him everything just like that?

But the child is growing up day by day, so even if we keep it a secret, it won’t last long.

"Forget it, let's keep it a secret for a while. But if you want to learn medicine, you can go to the Imperial Hospital to find Wei Lin. He is just a doctor and is not that busy."

Ling Rong never forgot that Zhaoshui wanted to learn medicine. After all, it would be beneficial to her. Therefore, she prepared gifts as soon as she returned to the palace, and planned to ask Zhaoshui to deliver them to Wei Lin, as a gift for Zhaoshui's apprenticeship.

"My lady, it doesn't matter if I don't learn it. It's a waste of money..."

"It doesn't matter, if you learn it, it will be good for me too.

After all, you are the only one I can trust in this palace."

"Yes, my lady." Zhaoshui seemed to be encouraged by these words. She accepted the gold and silver items with confidence and planned to visit the Imperial Hospital in the next few days.

"Prepare some gifts and go to Noble Lady Tian in a few days."

Under He Anming's care, Concubine Tian's health has fully recovered. Even after not seeing her for a few months, her figure has returned to its previous state.

Lingrong looked carefully and even felt that Concubine Tian was more beautiful than when she first entered the palace. She felt much better because she didn't have to face the emperor's old face anymore.

"Oh, what brings Concubine An here?" Concubine Tian was as stubborn as ever. She glanced at Ling Rong and said, "Concubine An should be busy accompanying the emperor."

"Lady Tian is joking." Ling Rong didn't care about her sarcasm. After all, this was her personality. The only bit of scheming was written on her face.

"Your Excellency must know best that the favored ones in Yuanmingyuan are Zhen Changzai and Fu Changzai.

Even Concubine Hua cannot compare to these two."

"It's useless." Concubine Tian was furious when she heard Zhen Huan's name. She tightly grasped the teacup, "Even a lowly maid is more favored than you, how can you compete with Zhen Huan.

With your noble status or your disappointing belly?"

Ling Rong touched her belly, as if she was irritated by Concubine Tian's sarcasm. "Concubine Zhen is really favored. Even when her affair with Prince Guo was exposed, the emperor never despised her."

Although Concubine Tian had never been to the Old Summer Palace, she had heard a lot about what happened between Zhen Huan and Prince Guo.

Everyone thought Zhen Huan was in big trouble, but who would have thought that the Queen would let her go so easily and not directly charge Zhen Huan with adultery.

The Emperor was even more surprised that after hearing about the affair between Prince Guo and Zhen Huan, he could still sleep on the same bed with Zhen Huan as if nothing had happened.

The emperor was so bewildered that he didn't even care about the shame.

"So what if she is favored? She is still not even a concubine. Even the title of emperor has not been given back to her."

"I am just worried that if Concubine Zhen is reinstated as a concubine, she will find a way to retaliate against us."

Ling Rong looked at Concubine Tian's suddenly changed expression and couldn't help laughing in her heart. How come Concubine Tian was still the same as in her previous life, losing her courage at the slightest scare?

"She was clearly the one who did something wrong, how dare she take revenge!"

“After all, Zhen Chang was only under house arrest at the time, and the revenge of the infant spirit and the bee sting on the face were all done by other people.

Given her personality, she won't tolerate it."

Lingrong's trip was not just to visit Concubine Tian, ​​her real purpose was to rekindle her hostility towards Zhen Huan.

I'm afraid that Concubine Tian is stupid and will completely forget the revenge for losing her son after not seeing Zhen Huan for several months.

She had to make Concubine Tian and Zhen Huan become enemies, and she couldn't let the Queen be so contented as to turn her attention to herself.

Concubine Tian really lived up to expectations. When she was provoked, she couldn't help cursing Zhen Huan. She looked like she wanted to eat Zhen Huan alive.

"She killed my child, so she will never be able to have another child again." Concubine Tian murmured to herself. She knocked over the cup in her hand, and the tea splashed all over her hands before she came to her senses.

In order to prevent Zhen Huan from giving birth, Concubine Tian must rely on the help of He Anming.

However, since Zhen Huan has Wen Shichu who is devoted to her, it would not be easy for Concubine Tian to take action against her.

"My dear, regaining your favor is the most important thing now." Ling Rong pretended to persuade her, but what she was thinking in her heart was how could it not be enough to only harm Zhen Huan? Taking away her favor was also an important matter.

"When the emperor was in the Old Summer Palace, he would reward me with things from time to time."

Concubine Tian was not worried about her favor at all. She slowly wiped the water stains on her hands and threw the priceless handkerchief on the ground.

"But you, who are not pretty and not very smart, should pray hard so that the emperor does not forget you."

Now that Concubine Tian could no longer scold Zhen Huan, she simply started to make sarcastic remarks towards Ling Rong. She never beat around the bush when she spoke and always hit people hard where they were hurting.

Calling her Lingrong just hurt her heart, but she didn't know how to refute it.

You can't just be like Concubine Tian and say bluntly that she is the real fool.

Finally Lingrong managed to persuade herself to leave. She forced a smile, bowed slightly and wanted to leave.

"It's been a while since Concubine An asked the imperial physician to check her pulse," Ling Rong had already stood up, but Concubine Tian suddenly mentioned this, "Don't be so ignorant that you are pregnant. This young lady has already told Imperial Physician He, go back to Chengqian Palace and wait."

Lingrong felt nervous about this sudden relationship. After all, she was very careful and never showed any discomfort during pregnancy in front of outsiders.

Why did Concubine Tian suddenly want to ask the imperial physician to take her pulse to see if she was pregnant?

"Thank you for your concern, Your Excellency. I have not been feeling unwell these days, so there is no need to trouble Imperial Doctor He."

"What's the problem? When I was pregnant, he went to Chengqian Palace every day.

What, could it be that Lady An is really pregnant and doesn't dare to let outsiders find out?"

After hearing what Concubine Tian said, Lingrong knew that she couldn't avoid having her pulse checked this time.

Even the pulse-taking thing might have been the Queen's idea. It seemed that Baoque's request to leave had aroused the Queen's suspicion.

If you don't want to be discovered that you are pregnant, you have to be tough at this time.

After all, he was no longer in the Yanx Palace, so there was no need for him to obey Concubine Tian's orders.

"You are joking, my lady. I feel very well, so I won't bother you to worry about me."

Concubine Tian seemed to be unwilling to give in. She looked An Lingrong up and down, with her eyes fixed on her belly for a long time.

Until Lingrong was leaving, Concubine Tian was still insisting. She sent someone to call He Anming over regardless of the consequences, and did not care about Lingrong's refusal at all.

It seems that this is really the Queen's mission, which is why Concubine Tian takes it so seriously.

He Anming finally came with the medicine box, but he stood at the door and did not come in.

Zhaoshui originally wanted to find an excuse to send He Anming away, but was finally rejected by Lingrong.

After all, you can't escape the fifteenth day if you can't escape the first day. Given Concubine Tian's personality, she might personally bring someone to check Lingrong's pulse.

"Master An, I haven't seen you for many days."

He Anming saluted, still carrying the medicine box, and did not approach Ling Rong.

"After all, Imperial Doctor He is busy taking care of Lady Tian and cannot go to the Old Summer Palace."

Ling Rong was in no mood to greet He Anming. When she thought about the fact that she could no longer hide her pregnancy, she felt irritated.

She stretched out her wrist, motioning He Anming to come over and take her pulse.

He Anming hesitated for a while, but still walked closer. He spread a white handkerchief on the body and carefully felt Lingrong's pulse.

The pulse is like beads rolling on a jade plate, flowing smoothly, and it is undoubtedly a slippery pulse.

"The young lady is in good health, with abundant blood and energy, and the royal heir in her belly is also healthy.

But if the young lady looks worried and depressed, it will be bad for the fetus."

Ling Rong adjusted her sleeves and just nodded when she heard what He Anming said.

After all, this man is Concubine Tian's man. I believe that everyone in the palace will know that she is pregnant tomorrow.

I have done my best by giving him a good look.

"Do you need some pregnancy-maintaining medicine?" Seeing that Ling Rong remained silent for a long time, Zhao Shui had to speak up so as not to embarrass He Anming.

"For now, you don't need to drink too much medicine," He Anming folded the handkerchief and slowly put it into the medicine box, "Just be careful and don't worry too much."

"The days and nights in this palace are long, and the dragon fetuses keep getting into trouble. How can we not be worried?"

"When I heard that it was Concubine Tian who summoned me, I guessed it." He Anming could actually laugh, "Although Concubine Tian is spoiled, she won't do anything to the heir to the throne."

Ling Rong was not too worried about Concubine Tian, ​​she was just a pawn of the Queen. If she was asked to do something to harm others, it would be better to use Concubine Fu.

What is scary is the Queen and Zhen Huan who works for her.

She was so cruel as to abort even her good sister Shen Meizhuang's pregnancy, so how could it be so easy to keep her own pregnancy?

Ling Rong really couldn't help it. She sighed deeply, waved her hand and wanted to ask He Anming to leave.

"If you are worried, I can take a few days off..."

Ling Rong interrupted him, her words were lighthearted but her brows were furrowed tightly, "You can avoid the first day, but you can't avoid the fifteenth. Imperial Doctor He, report the truth to Lady Tian."

This time it was He Anming's turn to be stunned. After a while he finally responded with a low "yes".

Before leaving, he took out some pills that neutralized musk from the medicine box and stuffed them all into Zhaoshui's hands.

"I will send some new ones in a few days. No matter what, we can still take some precautions."

Without waiting for Lingrong to refuse, He Anming took the medicine box and left.

Zhaoshui held the porcelain bottles in her hands, not knowing for a moment whether she should chase after them. She looked back at her mistress, and only accepted them with peace of mind when Lingrong nodded.

"My lady... there shouldn't be anything wrong with these incense pills."

"It shouldn't be, but it's always better to be cautious. We can ask a few more doctors to take a look."

Lingrong suddenly remembered that there was still one in the sachet on her body. She took it out and smelled it, only to find that it had lost its fragrance.

A few days later, He Anming sent over new incense pills. After Lingrong accepted them, he went to Yanxi Palace to inform Concubine Tian that Lingrong was pregnant.

Soon, the news spread throughout the palace like wings.

Although the Queen told him to take care of himself when she paid her respects, the look in her eyes was extremely frightening when one looked closely.

The queen has gone a little crazy now. She does not allow any concubine in the harem to get pregnant, even if the concubine has a bad family background and is not favored by the emperor.

Batches of gifts were delivered to Chengqian Palace. The gift sent by Zhen Huan was particularly generous, and the standard even surpassed that of Concubine Hua.

There are several pieces of jewelry that are simply not suitable for a noble like Lingrong to use. I think they were all awarded by the Emperor when Zhen Huan was promoted to the position of concubine.

However, unlike Shen Meizhuang, the emperor did not come to visit Lingrong in person when she was pregnant this time, and he did not even send Su Peisheng or Xiao Xiazi to ask about it.

Lingrong heard people whispering near Chengqian Palace more than once, saying that Lingrong and the royal heir in her belly were not favored at all, and even if she gave birth to a royal heir, he would only be given to other concubines to raise.

Zhaoshui was even more angry than Lingrong. She rushed out and looked for him many times, but could not find who spread these rumors.

Lingrong didn't care too much. The emperor had always been lukewarm towards her, so it was not surprising that he now disliked her.

If she were her in her previous life, she would definitely be angry about why she could not compare to Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan, or even to Concubine Tian.

Now that the Queen and Zhen Huan are both eyeing him in the palace, the Emperor's indifference will prevent those irrelevant people from focusing their attention on him.

"My lady, Concubine Zhen is here."
