An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

The reason why Concubine Qi came to see the Queen this time was that she felt very resentful and urgently needed to talk about it, and she also wanted to sow discord at the same time.

However, Concubine Qi never imagined that the spearhead would eventually be directed at herself and her son.

Moreover, hearing the Queen's tone which was obviously filled with displeasure, Concubine Qi felt uneasy.

Looking at the Queen's attitude, it seems like she's even angrier than when Concubine Hua pretended to be sick?

Concubine Qi was very worried that the Queen would not allow her to have any contact with the Third Prince anymore, but she did not dare to remain silent. After some psychological preparation, she said, "Please forgive me, Queen! I know I was wrong! But Hongshi is still a child after all..."

"child?"

The Queen didn't wait for Concubine Qi to finish her words, and suddenly sneered, "Oh, Concubine Qi, you really have a bad memory. I just finished speaking, and you forgot it?"

Previously, the Queen accused Concubine Qi of disobeying her previous orders and still having secret contact with the Third Prince. Concubine Qi then said that this was because her son was young and missed her, so he often went to Changchun Palace to visit her.

But as soon as Concubine Qi said this, she was immediately refuted by the Queen.

Indeed, if we use the princes of the Kangxi Dynasty as an analogy, then a prince as old as Hongshi will basically be leaving the palace to live alone.

The Queen used the events of the previous dynasty as a metaphor. In addition to attacking Concubine Qi, she also wanted to warn her to face the reality and not ruin her son's future.

But unfortunately, Concubine Qi obviously didn't hear the key point of the Queen's words.

At this time, seeing that Concubine Qi still dared to use such a poor excuse to cover up for Hongshi, the Queen was immediately furious!

"Jianqiu, go and call the Third Prince over to me!"

The more the Queen thought about it, the more she felt she couldn't swallow this humiliation, so she didn't argue with Concubine Qi and directly ordered Jianqiu to find the culprit.

"Miss!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Qi panicked instantly, "Hongshi... is he still studying now?"

"so what?"

The Queen said, "You, my dear mother, didn't care about your son's future. I asked you to discipline the child, but you didn't listen. How come you remember now that he needs to make progress?"

After saying this, before Concubine Qi could think of a response, the Queen continued, "Besides, I am his stepmother. Isn't it okay for me to meet the Third Prince now?"

"Yes... Her Majesty has always loved Hongshi, so it is only natural for me to pay my respects to Her Majesty."

Seeing that things had come to this, Concubine Qi, who was not good at speaking to begin with, felt as if her mouth was locked. She could not utter any words to refute, and could only watch Jianqiu leave in silence.

"Okay, stop standing here."

After Jianqiu left, the Queen planned to get rid of Concubine Qi, the Third Prince's "mother" who would obviously be a hindrance, as soon as possible.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Qi was stunned at first, and then begged, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen Hongshi for a long time, just let me stay aside!"

"I will teach your good son a lesson. If you stay aside, I am afraid that he will be too confident and will not take my teachings to heart."

The Queen looked at Concubine Qi and pondered for a while, as if she had figured it out. She said, "Forget it, just stay in the back. At least you can see her shadow through the screen!"

Seeing that the Queen had said so, Concubine Qi had no choice but to nod in agreement silently.

After all, she is now in the Queen's palace. If she is unwilling to hide behind the screen, she will definitely be "invited" out by the Queen. At that time, even seeing her son through the screen will become a luxury. This is naturally unacceptable to Concubine Qi.

Jianqiu has always been very efficient. Since she received the Queen's order, she naturally brought the Third Prince back quickly.

"Your son pays respects to the Empress Dowager!"

The Third Prince did not know that the reason the Queen had called him here was to "bring him to task". When he saw his stepmother, he acted very cordially and paid his respects to the Queen respectfully.

The Queen acted the same as usual, gently helping Hongshi get up, and then asked him in detail about his daily progress in his studies.

After the Third Prince answered, the Queen changed the subject and began to criticize Hongshi.

Concubine Qi, who was hiding behind the screen, felt bitter about this, but there was nothing she could do. She could only watch her honest son nod and agree under the Queen's harsh words.

……

At the same time, after parting with Zhen Huan and the others, An Lingrong returned to her own Fanyin Pavilion. She took off the heavy pearl hairpins on her head and enjoyed Fang Ruo's skilled massage to relieve her physical discomfort.

On the other hand, An Lingrong was also thinking about what would happen after coming to the Old Summer Palace this time.

"By the way, Aunt Fangruo, is Princess Wenyi's birthday coming soon?"

An Lingrong suddenly remembered something important, so she opened her eyes and asked Fang Ruo who was massaging her shoulders.

Because it was such a long time ago, An Lingrong couldn't be sure of Princess Wen Yi's birthday.

But there was one thing that An Lingrong knew clearly, that was when she and others first came to the Old Summer Palace, they happened to encounter Princess Wen Yi's first birthday party.

It was also at her first birthday party that Cao Qinmo secretly planned, with the help of Prince Dun, to allow Zhen Huan to perform the "Stunning Dance" in public.

After this stunning dance, Zhen Huan's status in Yongzheng's mind was further elevated, but it also brought him great hatred.

But then again, due to some coincidences, Shen Meizhuang, who was supposed to be framed by Concubine Hua for a fake pregnancy at this time, has already become pregnant, and the storm has been avoided, which is also a good thing.

"My Lord, I cannot remember the exact date of the princess' birthday, but I think she is almost one year old!"

While serving An Lingrong, Fang Ruo tried hard to recall the past, but she gave an answer that was not quite accurate.

When An Lingrong heard this, a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

Seeing Fang Ruo looking at her with a puzzled look, she thought for a moment and said, "I happened to hear Sister Wan and the others mention that Concubine Cao seemed to be preparing for this matter. Just now, an idea suddenly occurred to me, and I thought... Concubine Cao came to Yonghe Palace to find us before, maybe it was for this matter?"

Sure enough, after An Lingrong said this, Fang Ruo suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

After thinking about it for a while, she also felt that this was very likely, so she said: "Although Concubine Cao is scheming, she also cherishes the princess from the bottom of her heart!"

If it was for the sake of her own daughter, Cao Qinmo would most likely try to win over the concubines in the palace to build momentum!
