An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan
Chapter 443 Father is more valuable than daughter
"Your Highness, Concubine An! Good news! The Emperor has come to see you in person!"
An Lingrong had just sat down to rest for a while when she saw Fang Ruo, who she had sent to collect the gift from Concubine Yun, bringing in Xiao Xiazi, who had a very happy face.
Although Xiao Xiazi had not been to Yonghe Palace for a long time, when he saw An Lingrong, he immediately stepped forward and happily "announced the good news".
Having said that, this news is not good news for An Lingrong.
The emperor came to visit her suddenly. Based on An Lingrong's understanding of him, visiting her was probably not the main reason. Something must have happened that made him come to her side!
There are countless beauties in the harem. An Lingrong has no intention of competing for favor. She only tries to "win over" the emperor when necessary. She should know how to prescribe the right medicine, and she always succeeds.
Apart from this, on weekdays, An Lingrong would not take the initiative to show off outside, let alone show herself in front of the emperor.
In this way, she naturally avoided the "hostility" of many people.
But at the same time, this also caused An Lingrong's status in the emperor's heart to be in a fluctuating and unstable position.
Now that the emperor came over on his own initiative, An Lingrong's first reaction was that it was either related to Zhen Huan or Shen Meiyu.
In short, something must have happened to one of these two people!
Otherwise, Yongzheng was fine, why did he come here?
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Just as An Lingrong was speculating in her heart, Su Peisheng's singing of ceremony came from outside, which made An Lingrong put aside all distracting thoughts in an instant. She knelt down with Fang Ruo and others to welcome the emperor's arrival.
"Anpin, didn't I tell you that you are extraordinary now, so there is no need to be polite when you see me!"
As soon as Yongzheng entered the room, he saw a row of people kneeling in the hall. Among them, An Lingrong had the most standard posture. Even though her belly was bulging, it did not affect her salute at all.
If it was an ordinary and insignificant person, Yongzheng would certainly not care.
But An Lingrong was pregnant and was already quite advanced in age. When Yongzheng saw this, he was shocked and quickly signaled for everyone to help An Lingrong up from the ground.
"Your Majesty is considerate of me, but etiquette cannot be abandoned. I cannot become arrogant because of this."
An Lingrong knew that this would definitely "scare" Yongzheng, so she did it on purpose.
But in fact, An Lingrong didn't really kneel down like that.
She is not a fool, how could she not care about her own body and her child?
Long before the emperor came, An Lingrong had already adjusted her posture. At first glance, she seemed to be kneeling properly, but in fact she was not really kneeling on one knee. Instead, Fang Ruo beside her was secretly assisting her, so she was not very tired.
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Fangruo and Liuyun immediately understood what he meant and hurriedly helped An Lingrong up from the ground.
"Okay, sit down first."
Yongzheng personally stepped forward and helped An Lingrong to the chair, and then he gave Su Peisheng a look.
The latter immediately understood what he meant and left with all the servants.
"Why did the Emperor come to my palace at this time?"
An Lingrong saw all of this but pretended not to know. Instead, she asked Yongzheng what he meant by this word.
"I haven't come to see you for a long time. I just walked nearby, so of course I came to visit you."
An Lingrong's words made Yongzheng feel uneasy.
It’s not just that he hasn’t come to see An Lingrong for a long time?
During this period, Yongzheng was immersed in the joy of the birth of his youngest daughter, and was also delighted because Nian Gengyao led his troops to victory after victory.
Therefore, after dealing with official business, Yongzheng would either give his private time to Zhen Huan or to Concubine Hua. The only free time he could squeeze out was spent on visiting his daughter and Shen Meiyu in Xianfu Palace.
As for An Lingrong?
If I hadn't been "reminded" by the Empress Dowager when I went to Shoukang Palace to pay my respects to her, that one should not let too many "flowers" stand out, but should share the love and affection equally, then I would have remembered that there were quite a few pregnant concubines in the Forbidden City.
So, Yongzheng came to Yonghe Palace.
Rather than coming to visit An Lingrong, it would be more accurate to say that he had to come here to make his presence felt because of the Queen Mother's words!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern!"
Having lived together in two lifetimes, An Lingrong knows Yongzheng too well.
At this time, she certainly knew what the emperor was thinking, but on the surface she looked very moved and expressed her gratitude to Yongzheng very seriously.
Yongzheng was already feeling uneasy, and the more "serious" An Lingrong's attitude was, the more uncomfortable he felt.
"By the way, it seems like you haven't seen your sister Wan for a long time!"
Yongzheng wanted to ease his embarrassment, so he prepared to chat with An Lingrong.
As a result, the topic that the emperor blurted out was another woman——
After hearing this, An Lingrong naturally had no reaction. She only said, "It is not convenient for me to go out right now, and the same is true for Sister Wan, so we haven't seen each other for a while."
"Well... this is as it should be."
What Yongzheng said just now came out of his mouth completely, and after he finished speaking, he realized that it was a little inappropriate.
Fortunately, Concubine An is completely different from Concubine Hua, and she is not the kind of person who gets jealous.
Thinking of this, Yongzheng looked at An Lingrong with a gentler gaze, and continued, "Nian Gengyao previously followed my orders to lead the troops to fight. When he passed through Jeju, the food and grass that were supposed to be sent to the front were robbed by bandits. Your father was also an escorting official at the time, and he was implicated for some reason and was thrown into prison. Fortunately, the truth was finally revealed, and your father was cleared of all charges. I know he was cautious, and you served me wholeheartedly..."
After speaking a lot, Yongzheng finally said that he would promote An Bihuai's official position, which could be regarded as a double compensation and encouragement to the father and daughter of the An family.
After the emperor said this, An Lingrong was indeed a little surprised.
She knew that Yongzheng was just "making small talk", but she never expected that An Bihuai, who was thousands of miles away, could actually take advantage of this.
But for An Lingrong, this is actually not a bad thing.
She no longer had any feelings for that father.
In his previous life, he had to wait until he gained favor, and then the emperor made him a prefect in order to save his own dignity.
It can be said that An Bihuai has almost no ability of his own and he got to the position entirely through connections.
Unfortunately, because he could not control his greed, he was eventually executed by the emperor.
If things happened all over again, An Lingrong didn't know to what position Yongzheng would promote An Bihuai this time.
But as long as the other party continues to "repent", it is only a matter of time before the final disastrous consequences are incurred.
"What? Are you so happy that you're stupid?"
Yongzheng had no idea what An Lingrong was thinking. Seeing her standing there in a daze, he thought she was simply overjoyed, and he thought he had finally "coaxed" the right person.
However, An Lingrong knew very well that the emperor's mood was fickle. When he was happy, it was one thing, and when he was unhappy, it was another thing, so she immediately began to make a series of high-sounding excuses and words of panic.
Such a reaction undoubtedly made the emperor more satisfied, so he decided that the matter was beyond doubt and could not be changed.
