Travel through different worlds and experience different lives

Now that my mother is here, it would be bad not to go. I have to go. The emperor is trying to get me out. It is really a happy and sad day, haha.

An Lingrong sent the young eunuch who had just brought her mother here to go to Yimeyuan to look for her maid and eunuch.

There was indeed no one left in this palace, even the cleaning maids were sent out to play. After all, there was really nothing to do here, and who knew that his mother would come today.

Soon the young eunuch and the eunuchs and palace maids from Yongshou Palace came back. There were quite a lot of people, at least dozens of them. When Mother An and Aunt Xiao saw so many people, they realized that it was really good for the women here, and they felt relieved.

Yunxue, Yunshuang and Shunfengshunshui said happily: "Your Majesty, we picked a lot of flowers, please put a few in your room."

An Lingrong smiled and said: "I don't like plum blossoms. Didn't I just tell you that? Don't worry about it. These are my mother and aunt."

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly bowed and greeted her. Mother An was also happy. She asked the maids next to her to give each of them a red envelope of three or two taels of silver and said: "From seeing how you get along with the Empress, I know that you really treat her well. I feel much more at ease when you are by her side."

An Lingrong said to Yunxue: Go and give the half-yearly salary as a reward to the eunuch who just came to see you according to the amount of your monthly salary. Today is New Year's Eve, everyone should be happy.

Let Yunshuang get a few sets of jewelry according to the preferences of An's mother and aunt, and also bring some better inkstones for An Bihuai and his younger brother. There is no need to send silver, as the shop will send some to the An family every month.

It was getting late, almost five in the evening, so An Lingrong could only take her mother An and Aunt Xiao to the Qianqing Palace in a sedan chair.

The few people didn't talk much on the way. After all, many things that should be said had been said, and things that shouldn't be said could not be said.

When they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, the eunuchs began to make announcements, and then everyone who was not of high rank like An Lingrong had to stand up and pay their respects.

An Lingrong nodded and said: Everyone, get up. Today is a family dinner, no need to be polite.

After An Lingrong sat down, these people sat down too. Then they saw that Concubine Chen was wearing a purple palace dress today. It was very beautiful because An Lingrong had changed the style to make her look more graceful.

Everyone also discovered that this lady was wearing half a mask, which was the same purple as her clothes, and there was a purple lotus painted between her eyebrows.

On your clothes, on your head, on your wrists, there is nothing but lotus. No one would believe that you are not the lotus fairy.

An Lingrong is wearing a half mask that covers her eyes and nose, and there is a three-dimensional lotus carved out of the mask between her eyebrows, which looks as if it were inlaid there, right at the center of her eyebrows, making people feel as if the lotus was meant to grow there.

The mask is also purple, with small lotus flowers carved into the corners of the eyes.

No one would believe that she was not the Purple Lotus Fairy, mainly because she was too mysterious. Every man wanted to see what kind of face was under the mask.

This mask only reveals the area below the nose, where the tip of the nose is also a lotus that is as small as it can be.

This is a magic weapon, so it naturally does not need any hanging rope. Unless An Lingrong is willing, no one can take it down.

And you won’t feel anything when you put it on your face, it feels the same as usual.

Ever since I needed to wear a veil frequently, I came up with this idea. This mask can also change color. It will change color according to the clothes I wear. Others will think that I just have masks of various colors.

Of course, there are indeed different colors placed outside, and this mask needs to be glued to the face, so no one will suspect anything.

Only those with dark hearts would think that An Lingrong was disfigured, so she wore a mask.

An Lingrong looked even more mysterious and charming with the mask on, so everyone couldn't be happy even though they thought she was disfigured. Even with her disfigured face, she was still much more beautiful than everyone else with the mask on.

Not long after An Lingrong sat down, the Emperor came back. Naturally, Nian Gengyao was also here today. Now Nian Gengyao looked at An Lingrong with murderous eyes. An Lingrong just glanced at him lightly, and Nian Gengyao was already in pain.

The most terrifying thing was that he couldn't scream, his face was covered with sweat from the pain, and he was terrified in his heart. The look in the man's eyes just now was clearly as if he was looking at a dead person. Well, if that person could take his son's life, how could he not take his life?

When his sister offended someone, it was his brother who threatened that Concubine Chen would pay the price. Now he was the one paying the price, and Nian Gengyao was sure that if he could not get the forgiveness of Concubine Chen at this palace banquet, his people would die one after another.

And his sister would also feel worse than death. This feeling is very strong, but every time she wanted to beg for mercy, she couldn't open her mouth, and heard his terrified words in her ears, "You must hand over your military power after today. The reason is that you form a clique for personal gain. If you hand it over voluntarily, I will spare your sister's life, otherwise I will make her live, otherwise, die." Of course, you can struggle. If you don't see the military power handed over tomorrow, you and your son will be included in it. You'd better take care of yourself.

Nian Gengyao now wants to kill himself. If he cared about your revenge, would he still cut off your son's legs?

Before, the legs of Nianfu were just a warning. It seems that I am really old and can't see some things clearly. Do you still think that people are really incapable? If they are incapable, how could the queen and the queen mother be useless now?

Yes, Nian Gengyao knew that the Queen Mother wanted to die, but she couldn’t.

The whole day was spent in suffering.

Thinking of this, he could not even care about the pain in his body. He stood up and said to the emperor: Your Majesty, I have an old illness, so I will hand over the tiger talisman for today's New Year's Eve dinner.

The emperor was very happy to hear this, but he did not show it. He just smiled and said: That's good, it's just right for you to stay at home and recuperate. Only when you recover can you serve me and the Qing Dynasty.

Nian Shilan was a little shocked when she heard this. Her brother had an old illness? When did it happen?

I asked anxiously: Brother, are you okay?

Nian Gengyao shook his head and said: Brother is fine now, but he has always had the old illness and it has been too long. He is old now and if he doesn't get treatment, he won't live for many years.

After hearing this, Nian Shilan no longer worried about the military power, but began to care about her brother's health.

Nian Gengyao was still very pleased in his heart. He felt that his love for his sister was not in vain. However, now that the military power had been handed over, there was no way he could get it back.

Even if the emperor wanted to give it to Concubine Chen, he would not agree. This is the gap.

Now that I think about it, those people saying that Concubine Chen was a demon concubine, wasn't that exactly what she wanted?

This makes her act even more unscrupulous. As long as you say something, she will say that she is a demon concubine. A demon concubine can't help being a demon.

So now everyone wants to say that you are not a demon concubine, but others say that is not possible, a demon concubine is a demon concubine, she must be a demon concubine.

Seeing her dressed like this now, how can you not understand why the emperor hasn't taken her down yet? It's 100% because she's too beautiful. If she were disfigured, there would be no way that there wouldn't be treatment by the imperial physician. That means she just doesn't want to be seen by others, including the emperor.

Thinking of this, I felt a lot better. At least the emperor was also under the control of the evil concubine, no, Concubine Chen, right?

He was a general and just had his military power stripped away, which didn't seem like a big deal.

An Lingrong has the highest position in the palace now. Even Concubine Duan does not have a higher title than Concubine Chen Feng, so An Lingrong sits closest to the emperor.

The emperor was now being a bit attentive, and everyone present could see it. He gave Concubine Chen this and that to eat, but in the end Concubine Chen glared at the emperor. The emperor tried to restrain himself a little, but the glances he gave from time to time still betrayed his humble heart.

An Lingrong also ignored this idiot. Yes, in An Lingrong's eyes, the current emperor was just an idiot, like a pug. If you glare at him, he will think you pay attention to him and will be happy. It was really speechless.

Of course there had to be singing and dancing at a palace banquet. An Lingrong was not interested in any of that, so she didn't watch it, but everyone else was watching with great interest.

An Lingrong only took a glance and knew that this was the idea given by the female Zhuge Zhen Huan.

Shen Meizhuang thought this was for her own good, but she didn't know that there were ministers' families present at such a palace banquet. Was it really a good idea to go to a brothel outside to find singers and dancers?

An Lingrong was not belittling these people, but in the eyes of these officials' wives, these people were just playthings that were not worthy of being shown in public. Was it really okay to do this in such an occasion?

And aren’t there any dancers and singers in the palace?

The most important thing is that the dancers and singers in the palace were arranged to be just backup dancers. What’s the purpose of this?

The dance is novel, but you have to consider the occasion. What does it mean to perform such a seductive dance at a family dinner?

Because the clothes are thin, even translucent, and many private parts have just a little more cloth. This is not something people dare to do in modern times. After all, these private parts are vaguely visible. Although there is an extra piece of cloth, it is also translucent.

Oh my God, this dance itself is used to seduce men. Now there are so many men in the hall, and their blood is boiling because of this dance. Although they don’t have nosebleeds, their faces are flushed red.

An Lingrong took one look and thought it was boring. Could it be that she couldn't stand these men?

If men wear bikinis in modern times, they will have a massive hemorrhage.

The Emperor once again regretted dismissing An Lingrong, otherwise he could have asked her to help manage the harem. But now she won't do it. If they want to blame someone, blame themselves. They asked Shen Meizhuang to help the six palaces, but they didn't think of her as a mere noble lady helping the six palaces. Did they really think that Shen Meizhuang was a capable person?

It was only after the Queen Mother assisted in management for many years that she achieved some success and was able to give her family an important position.
