An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

For An Lingrong, she didn't care that the emperor used her as a "confidant" object.

On the contrary, if she could please the emperor just by chatting with him, and then sleep with him till dawn, this state would be perfect for An Lingrong.

Although An Lingrong had already adopted an indifferent attitude towards palace affairs after the lessons learned in her previous life, and did not mind serving the emperor, if she could live an easier life, why not do it?

Therefore, when Yongzheng arrived at Fanyin Pavilion, An Lingrong had already led everyone to kneel in front of the door to greet him.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be healthy and well!"

As soon as An Lingrong opened her mouth, Fangruo, Liuyun, Baojuan and others knelt down and paid their respects.

"You are still pregnant, there is no need to perform such a ceremony, get up quickly."

An Lingrong was still pregnant with his child. When Yongzheng saw that she was still respectful, he immediately stepped forward and helped her up.

When An Lingrong stood up, all the palace maids and eunuchs, both big and small, also stood up.

Yongzheng supported An Lingrong, and they walked into the hall together.

Su Peisheng was very perceptive and knew why the emperor came here this time to find Concubine An, so he took the initiative to lead people to guard outside.

"Eunuch Su..."

Fang Ruo and Su Peisheng were also old acquaintances and had worked together for a while. When she saw Su Peisheng's attitude, she immediately understood that the reason why Yongzheng came to see An Lingrong tonight was probably not simply because he missed An Guiren, but for other reasons.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Su Peisheng to bring people to guard outside the door!

"Don't worry, my lady will be able to serve the emperor well, and if the emperor needs us, he will let us servants in."

Su Peisheng smiled at Fang Ruo, but did not mention the information he knew and ignored the other party's inquiring look.

When Fang Ruo saw this, she immediately realized that things were just as she had thought before, and it was indeed not that simple.

Unfortunately, Fang Ruo had no other choice but to pray silently for An Lingrong and hope that everything would go well.

……

"Mrs. An, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why do I feel like you seem to have lost a lot of weight?"

In the main hall, Yongzheng and An Lingrong did not hesitate to sit down on the small kang nearby.

At this moment, looking at An Lingrong who looked more and more delicate under the candlelight, Yongzheng first noticed her face, and then found that her figure seemed a little thin, so he became concerned.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine. It may be the light that dazzled Your Majesty."

An Lingrong smiled slightly and brushed aside the emperor's concern for her.

She is self-aware and knows that her appearance is not outstanding.

The saying "three thousand beauties in the harem" is just a joke, and the number of people in Yongzheng's harem was very small, not so exaggerated. But how could those who were valued by the emperor and taken into the palace be just ordinary people?

Those who are favored by the emperor either have considerable power behind them, and taking them into the harem is a form of marriage alliance, which is more important than emotional inclination, or they are simply able to please others with their beauty.

In this regard, An Lingrong's mother's family background was there, and An Bihuai was just a small county magistrate, so naturally he had no status to speak of. As for her appearance, An Lingrong was not very good either.

It was for this reason that An Lingrong was always ignored by the emperor when she entered the palace in her previous life.

But after the Queen's "teaching", An Lingrong learned to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses.

Now, all these have become An Lingrong's advantages.

Even when she was pregnant, An Lingrong was still able to maintain her appearance.

However, unlike the past when she was forced by the Queen to take medicine to avoid pregnancy and then had to try to get pregnant, An Lingrong did not need to use those dangerous drugs, nor did she need to use things like "Xiji Pills" to harm herself in order to maintain her favor.

Anyway, An Lingrong doesn't care whether the emperor will stay on her side. All she needs to do is make sure she doesn't look unkempt and can leave a certain sense of presence in the emperor's heart.

Now that she had seen all of Yongzheng's reactions, An Lingrong was certain that all the methods she had used were just right.

After the two talked for a while, Yongzheng saw that the atmosphere was good and prepared to reveal his true purpose.

"Mrs. An, you have indeed worked hard to give birth to a dragon offspring for me."

Yongzheng held An Lingrong's hand and said earnestly, "I am not as blessed as the Holy Ancestor. If you gave birth to a prince... I would be happy. If it was a princess, I would also like it. But you are only a noble after all. According to the ancestral system, you cannot raise the heir to the throne yourself."

As Yongzheng spoke, he observed An Lingrong's reaction.

When An Lingrong heard the previous words, a mixture of shyness and happiness appeared on her face.

However, when he said that noble ladies could not raise their children personally, Yongzheng noticed that An Lingrong's eyes were obviously stunned, and then the smile on her face seemed a little forced.

For some reason, when An Lingrong looked at him with such a slightly sad look, even though she didn't say a word, Yongzheng felt a little guilty.

As a result, Yongzheng began to feel sorry for An Lingrong.

"The reason I said this is that I want you to be prepared in your heart."

Yongzheng looked away and continued, "According to palace rules and ancestral system, there is no precedent for concubines to be promoted after giving birth to a child."

What this implies is that if An Lingrong is still just a noble lady after giving birth, she will definitely not be able to raise her child personally.

Yongzheng said this very clearly, which could be regarded as a "precaution" in advance so that An Lingrong could be mentally prepared.

Hearing this, An Lingrong sneered in her heart.

Yes, according to the rules of the palace, there is indeed no such precedent.

But usually she was favored enough that she would be promoted by the emperor long before giving birth.

After all, An Lingrong had been a "favored concubine". How could she not know that if the emperor wanted to favor someone, he naturally had plenty of ways and means to do so?

Like ancestral family rules, they are often just an excuse, just like the "rules" themselves were made by the emperor.

For example, didn’t Zhen Huan back then already become “Princess Wan” before she even gave birth to her child?

However, An Lingrong was naturally confident that she could become the mistress of a palace before her child was born.

But this all depends on the emperor's will, so An Lingrong still showed a respectful attitude.

"The Concubine Hua came to see me before..."

Yongzheng originally wanted to end the topic here, but when he saw An Lingrong looking sad, he subconsciously told her the reason behind his visit today.

When An Lingrong's eyes widened, Yongzheng reacted and said, "So, I remembered that I haven't come to see you for a while, so I came to see you now!"

Although he forced himself to interrupt the topic, Yongzheng was still in a dilemma.
