An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan
Chapter 323: Arriving at the Smell
Faced with the emperor's questioning, An Lingrong did become nervous all of a sudden.
She had previously thought that Yongzheng's arrival this time was unusual.
In the past, if the emperor turned over his own name card, a young eunuch would usually run to Yonghe Palace to inform him in advance. This was also to allow the concubine whose name was turned over to have time to take care of herself.
Afterwards, whether she was carried to the Yangxin Palace or the emperor came in person, there would at least be some spare time.
For example, this time when Yongzheng came, he went directly to Yonghe Palace. An Lingrong just realized this. There was no chance to prepare beforehand. This was different from the past.
In addition, it was obvious that Yongzheng did not come here to be served. It seemed more like he had a lot to say, so he wanted to find someone to talk to.
After An Lingrong heard the emperor's complaints, she realized that Yongzheng had suffered setbacks from the empress dowager.
It’s a pity that even though An Lingrong had heard about the grievances between the mother and son, she didn’t dare to comment on it.
The only thing she could do was to persuade the emperor from different angles in order to bring him some comfort.
Now, Yongzheng asked her if she knew why he came here. In just a short moment, An Lingrong's mind was already in turmoil.
"Your Majesty, are you missing me?"
After a brief silence, An Lingrong smiled slightly and started to make some deliberate witty remarks.
"Hahaha, there are so many concubines in the palace. If I miss them one by one, I'm afraid I won't be able to remember them all!"
Seeing An Lingrong showing such an expression, Yongzheng also laughed and then shook his head.
"When I went to see your sister Wan before, I smelled a very special fragrance there. After asking around, I learned that it was you who gave it to Wan Wan."
When An Lingrong heard Yongzheng's sudden explanation, her eyes flickered slightly and her heart was filled with surprise.
She had indeed had various ideas before, but she had never imagined that the reason for luring the emperor was actually because of the fragrant honey she gave to Zhen Huan.
That thing was originally carefully prepared by An Lingrong, and its function was very simple, which was to calm the mind and soothe the spirit.
Because during that period of time, An Lingrong noticed that Zhen Huan's condition was not right, so she guessed that she had experienced the transition from being in great favor to falling out of favor and then rising again. The gap was too great, and her mentality was somewhat broken.
An Lingrong's original intention of giving the bottle of nectar to Zhen Huan was to hope that Zhen Huan could use it to face the emperor in a peaceful manner.
At this point, An Lingrong still doesn't know whether Zhen Huan has adjusted her condition, but one thing is certain, that is, the emperor seems to like this fragrance very much, otherwise he would not have come to her on his own initiative.
"I just like to play with these things on weekdays... In addition, Sister Wan seemed to be in a bad mood at the time, so I gave this thing to her."
An Lingrong did not show her surprise, but just looked confused for a moment, and then she explained to the emperor.
However, Yongzheng had no doubts in the first place, and upon hearing this, he also said: "You all entered the palace at the same time, so naturally you have a good relationship. If everyone can be like you, my harem will naturally be much calmer."
It was obvious that Yongzheng's words had a hidden meaning, and he was directly referring to Hua Fei and others.
In response, An Lingrong said nothing, as if she hadn't heard it.
The emperor can directly give instructions on many things, and if others want to follow suit, it depends on the emperor's mood.
An Lingrong knew that if she followed and agreed now, she would not be blamed by the emperor, but there was no benefit in doing so, so she might as well choose to ignore it.
Yongzheng's main purpose was to find someone to talk to. After speaking with An Lingrong, he no longer had any scruples in his heart and began to talk about his childhood for a rare time.
"I remember that back then, the Empress Dowager was only a concubine. After giving birth to me, she was given the title of noble lady this year. However, she was still unable to raise me personally, so my father arranged for me to live with the Imperial Concubine Tong Jia..."
Yongzheng and An Lingrong were lying together, and what they were talking about now were purely childhood memories.
An Lingrong listened quietly and understood the difficulties the emperor had faced back then.
At that time, Uya had not even been granted the title of concubine, and was not the head of a palace, so she naturally had no right to raise the child she gave birth to.
It just so happened that Concubine Tong Jia had no children and was of noble status, so Kangxi gave the fourth prince to her.
But then again, Yongzheng also gained many benefits from being raised by the imperial concubine.
After all, Concubine Tongjia not only had a very noble family background, but she was also a "close relative" to Emperor Kangxi.
With this in mind, Yongzheng, who was enjoying the emperor's favor, could naturally often see his royal father. Not to mention that later, after Concubine Tong Jia was promoted to Imperial Concubine, she was named Queen. In this way, Yongzheng, as her adopted son, was equivalent to being gilded with a layer of gold.
An Lingrong remembered that the reason why the emperor was able to ascend the throne smoothly was not only because of Nian Gengyao as his right-hand man, but also because of the brother of Concubine Tong Jia, the commander of the infantry Longkodo, who also made an indelible contribution!
But now, from Yongzheng's tone, An Lingrong could feel a strong resentment.
It seemed that he had been dissatisfied with his adoptive mother and nominal "uncle" for a long time?
An Lingrong did not continue to think about it. Anyway, what the emperor was talking about now were all palace secrets, and even if she heard them, she had to keep them to herself. Otherwise, if they leaked out, she would definitely be held accountable.
……
The night passed quickly and when An Lingrong woke up, the emperor had already left.
"My Lord, are you okay?
Fang Ruo came over to help An Lingrong get up. Seeing the two big dark circles under An Lingrong's eyes, she couldn't help feeling distressed.
She knew that the young lady was pregnant now and the emperor certainly could not take any drastic actions.
But looking at An Lingrong's appearance, it was obvious that she hadn't slept all night!
In fact, Fang Ruo was right in her guess. An Lingrong had been listening to the story so much that by the time Yongzheng finished speaking, it was almost dawn. She was almost unconscious by then and naturally didn't know when she fell asleep.
"Aunt, when did the emperor leave?"
After An Lingrong was dressed neatly, she asked Fang Ruo this question.
"It's about the same as usual. The emperor is always strict with himself and won't sleep too much."
Fang Ruo had also served in the Yangxin Palace before, so she was of course very familiar with Yongzheng's daily routine.
"Oh."
An Lingrong nodded, thinking that he was worthy of being the emperor. Such energy and self-control were indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Just as An Lingrong was preparing to start a new day, Liuyun suddenly walked in.
"what happened?"
Looking at Liuyun who suddenly came in, An Lingrong hadn't spoken yet. Fang Ruo guessed that something must have happened outside, so she took the lead in asking.
