An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"Your Majesty is right! I will follow your instructions and will not forget them at all."

Faced with the temptations and warnings from the Queen Mother, An Lingrong understood the deep meaning behind her words clearly, and at the same time she also understood that the Queen Mother was worried that she would become spoiled by her favor.

After all, An Lingrong was able to make the emperor ease his attitude towards the empress dowager, which shows that she has a certain weight in the emperor's heart.

Under such circumstances, it is fortunate that we are also worried that if An Lingrong relies on the emperor's "favor" for her and whispers something in the future, it will naturally lead to endless troubles!

An Lingrong's respectful and obedient behavior made the empress dowager relax a lot. She then chattered with her and told her some interesting stories about when she was raising the prince.

"You don't know, this newborn child is particularly troublesome. Even if there are these maids and palace maids to serve him, as a biological mother, how can I rest assured? I was worried about the fourteenth child all those years ago!"

The Empress Dowager seemed to have inadvertently talked about her experience of raising an imperial heir, but the person she mentioned was not Yongzheng, but her other biological son - the fourteenth prince of Kangxi!

Hearing this name, An Lingrong's heart trembled slightly, and she felt something unusual.

She didn't know much about the Nine Dragon Battle for the Throne, but she also knew that Yongzheng had put in a lot of effort to be able to successfully inherit the throne.

Originally, as Yongzheng's biological mother, the Empress Dowager should have been Yongzheng's greatest help before he ascended the throne, but in reality this was not the case!

The bottom line is that when the Empress Dowager gave birth to Yongzheng, she was not even a concubine, so she was naturally not qualified to raise the prince.

Therefore, not long after Yongzheng was born, he was taken to Empress Xiaoyi Ren, who was Longkodo's sister!

An Lingrong heard from the old people in the palace that this Empress Xiaoyi Ren was no ordinary person. Not only was she of noble birth, but when she entered the palace, she was initially granted the title of Noble Consort, then was promoted to Imperial Noble Consort, and finally became Empress!

It was also because of this reason that Yongzheng and the Empress Dowager were not close at all when he was a child, and they rarely saw each other on weekdays.

The "Fourteenth Child" that the Queen Mother mentioned now was the child she gave birth to after she became the head of a palace. At that time, she naturally had the qualifications to raise the royal heir personally, and she gave all her motherly love to her youngest son.

Perhaps it was envy and jealousy that Yongzheng was never nice to his younger brother who did not support or depend on him but was very close to his enemies. After he ascended the throne, he no longer needed to pretend.

The Queen Mother obviously wasn't just speaking casually when she mentioned the Fourteenth Master!

Because of this, after An Lingrong thought of this, she became even more cautious when facing the Queen Mother.

"Don't be too nervous. After all, you are favored by the emperor. Perhaps your situation will be much better than my situation back then."

The Queen Mother told An Lingrong how she raised the Fourteenth Prince, and she was very interested.

After she finished speaking, the empress dowager saw that An Lingrong had not shown any significant reaction, so she changed the subject and looked very optimistic about An Lingrong.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

An Lingrong smiled slightly, her tone neither humble nor arrogant.

After realizing that the Queen Mother might want to use her to speak well of the Fourteenth Master, An Lingrong's attitude towards the Queen Mother suddenly changed.

Since the Queen Mother now thinks that she is a "useful person", she certainly won't be fussy about small matters.

An Lingrong also knew her position, so, what she thought in her heart was one thing, but when dealing with the Queen Mother on the surface, she also had to be more flexible.

At least, she couldn't be like a blockhead and remain silent, so when the empress dowager was narrating, An Lingrong would respond from time to time.

But An Lingrong would not interrupt others or express her own opinions, she just made herself look "well-behaved".

After the Queen Mother spoke for a while, she of course noticed the change in An Lingrong's attitude, but she didn't think much about it. She just waved her hand and said lightly: "After saying so much, I am also tired. Never mind, An Guiren, you should go back and rest."

The Queen Mother knew that An Lingrong was a timid person.

Therefore, the Queen Mother would not find it too strange that An Lingrong did not respond.

She hoped that An Lingrong could speak well of her other younger son in front of Yongzheng, but the empress dowager was not in a hurry.

"Yes, then I will take my leave now!"

Seeing that the Queen Mother finally agreed to let her leave, An Lingrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Without saying much, she bowed and left the hall with Sun Zhuxi beside her.

"My dear An, please forgive me for being so talkative. The Queen Mother really likes you very much!"

While escorting An Lingrong out of Shoukang Palace, Sun Zhuxi did not forget to praise her with a smile.

An Lingrong knew that the old nanny in front of her was the empress dowager's confidant. When praised in person by such an old lady, she simply smiled and behaved appropriately.

"Okay, young lady, I will take you here. You must have a good rest after you go back!"

After sending her out of the palace and watching An Lingrong get on the sedan chair, Sun Zhuxi turned around with peace of mind and went back to report to the Queen Mother that he had successfully completed his mission.

"left already?"

The Queen Mother was silently flipping through a Buddhist scripture. When she saw Sun Zhuxi coming back, she asked her a question.

Although she was asking a question, the empress dowager's eyes were fixed on the words in the book, and her gaze did not shift to Sun Zhuxi. It was obvious that she was just asking casually.

"Yes."

Sun Zhuxi did not say much, but just told the Queen Mother how he put An Lingrong on the sedan chair and watched her leave Shoukang Palace.

……

On the other hand, on the way back to Yonghe Palace, An Lingrong was thinking about the deeper meaning of her previous conversation with the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother had a very clear purpose in saying those things, which was to strengthen the impression of the Fourteenth Master in front of her. At the same time, it was also to pave the way for the future.

Having said that, the Empress Dowager Uya became the Holy Mother Empress Dowager because of Yongzheng, but she and the emperor did not share the same mindset.

In An Lingrong's view, this royal family's noble mother and son seemed to be one respectful and the other tolerant, but that was just an appearance, and could only be maintained when things were calm.

If there is any slight disturbance, it is easy to become estranged!

Just like before, the empress dowager and the emperor obviously had some conflict. One refused to pay his respects, and the other, although secretly anxious, could not do anything except summon the concubines and let them fan the emperor's pillow.

An Lingrong was very clear about this. Both mother and son were holding each other accountable. Before there was a suitable opportunity, they would rather remain deadlocked than give in.

"It's strange to say, how could the Queen Mother not know that the Emperor has such a bad temper? She deliberately mentioned the Fourteenth Master at this time..."

After careful consideration, An Lingrong felt more and more puzzled.

According to rumors and the empress dowager's own account, the fourteenth son of the late emperor could be said to be the apple of her eye.

If not for this, Yongzheng would not have been so jealous.

But if that's the case, it's really hard not to be suspicious when the Queen Mother takes such action at this time!

"Forget it, let's wait and see."

As the sedan chair landed, An Lingrong let out a long sigh of relief and made a decision in her heart.

She was not in a hurry to guess what the Queen Mother was thinking.

Her top priority now is to rest and take care of the baby. As for other things, they can be put aside for later.
