An Lingrong after rebirth

Qiu Fang nodded quickly. I said, this is just my guess, I don't know the specific reason. What is Xin Changzai's real purpose? I don't know.

Now that Concubine Xin has no bad intentions, the other concubines can naturally be controlled.

Hmm! Let me think about this matter. Let's go see Xiaoliu. Ah has been sleeping in Shoukang Palace for a long time. It has been half a month since Xin Changzai came to visit.

Inside Shoukang Palace

Concubine Duan was kneeling on the ground, her face full of discomfort, but the empress dowager seemed not to see it. She picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said to herself: The emperor cares about his friendship with you.

I made you a concubine, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious? You couldn't get the Sixth Prince, but you set your sights on Concubine Xian, and even thought of getting rid of the mother and keeping the son?

Concubine Duan, do you have any excuse for this matter?

Concubine Duan supported herself on the ground with one hand and lowered her head. The Empress Dowager is wise and I dare not argue any more!

"You dare not", are you saying this as if I am wrongly accusing you?

The Queen Mother sneered, "The Hua Concubine is powerful." It's understandable that your life is difficult because of what happened back then, but this is not a reason for you to do evil.

Considering that you have served the Emperor for many years, I will not show off this matter in front of others. But considering the virtuous concubine, I will demote you to the position of concubine. Take good care of yourself in Yanqing Palace and don't come out again unless necessary.

Concubine Duan's expression did not change. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you for your grace." Well, you can go down!

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, Duanpin stood up with great effort, thanked Zaien again, and then walked out tremblingly. Seeing this, Jiji hurried forward to support Duanpin.

The master and servant looked at each other, and a trace of sadness flashed in their eyes.

The Queen Mother sighed, "It's unfair." Why can't they just live in peace and save me some trouble? Instead, they have caused so much trouble. The harem is restless.

If she wasn't kept for the future to check and balance Concubine Hua, there would be no need to keep such a vicious person.

Of course, Duanpin could not hear what the Empress Dowager said. On the palace road, Duanpin supported Jiji and walked very slowly, her face becoming fierce.

Why has my surroundings become so dilapidated? Wasn't it all because I helped you, Aisin-Gioro, and was retaliated against? Now you think it's my fault?

Concubine Hua made me drink a pot of safflower, but you, Queen Mother, still turned a blind eye.

Hehe...hehe...Jiji, I'm here. Is Your Majesty feeling unwell?

Ji Ji felt very uncomfortable when she heard Duanpin's weak appearance. Duanpin shook her head, thinking about it for a long time, and finally sighed.

"I'm hungry," this is Duanpin, who has come this far by enduring. The only best thing Duanpin has done in all these years is

"I am inferior to others in rank, so I can only endure. I don't know how long I can endure. It's like I was originally on equal footing with Concubine Hua, but I have been tortured by her for so many years."

If you can't hit the target with one strike, you can only endure...

An Lingrong was coaxing the Sixth Prince to take a nap, and was just about to take a short break when Yan Gui pushed the door open and came in. "Madam," An Lingrong turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yan Gui walked quickly towards An Lingrong and said, "My lady, the servants around the Queen Mother said that Concubine Duan was demoted to Concubine Duan." An Lingrong asked, "Is it because of Sister Mei's meal?"

The other party did not say it explicitly, but just asked the servant to tell the queen.

An Lingrong nodded, I understand. After Yan Gui left, An Lingrong lay down again. But in her heart, she thought about whether she was too hasty to refuse the queen and give herself the power of the palace.

Without palace power, you can only control the people in your own palace. Many things are not very convenient to do, so it is better not to do them.

For example, if he had no one on his side this time, why would he go to the Queen Mother and ask her to help investigate it.

If I find out the truth myself and cry in front of the emperor, Duanpin will not just be punished one level lower. Even if that doesn't work, I can make Duanpin suffer in private.

There is no need to demand everything from others like I do now. Now that I am in good health and the Sixth Prince is growing up day by day, it is time to find some ways to give myself some power in the palace.

Thoughts were flying in her mind. After an unknown amount of time, An Lingrong tilted her head and fell into a deep sleep. She was awakened by a babbling sound.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Liu Ah lying beside her, gnawing on her little fist. An Lingrong laughed when she saw this. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a voice from behind: Are you finally awake after sleeping for so long?

An Lingrong turned around in surprise and saw the Emperor and Shen Meizhuang sitting opposite each other, playing a chess game that had not yet been completed.

An Lingrong's face suddenly turned red, and she quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

, forget it, get up! An Lingrong stood up and looked at the emperor coquettishly. The emperor is really, he didn't even let anyone wake me up when I came?

As he said that, he walked to Shen Meizhuang and gently pinched her shoulders, and Sister Mei did the same.

The two of them laughed out loud. "Don't blame Mei'er. I didn't let anyone call you." An Lingrong didn't respond. She turned around and walked to the couch and picked up the Sixth Prince.

The emperor and his sister haven't finished playing chess yet, but you can keep an eye on me and hurry up! "Are you really going to lose your temper?"

The emperor said with a smile, and An Lingrong gave him another look. It's getting late, Your Majesty doesn't have to eat, Sister Mei is pregnant.

The meal cannot be missed, so I went to the small kitchen to take a look. Amid the laughter of the two, An Lingrong carried the child out of the main hall. She looked up and saw Lian'er. She gestured in front of her, and Lian'er immediately followed An Lingrong's footsteps.

"Your Majesty?" "I remember there is a hairpin made of goldfinch feathers in the storeroom. Please take it out and send it to Concubine Jing in Xianfu Palace."

Lian'er was stunned, not knowing what reason to use.

Just tell them that you want the osmanthus almond cakes from Concubine Jing's palace, and take the Sixth Prince to Xianfu Palace another day.

Lian'er responded, and An Lingrong went into the small kitchen to check the ingredients for dinner before returning with the child in her arms.

After dinner, Shen Meizhuang returned to Yonghe Palace, while the emperor stayed in Yanx Palace.

After a while of making love, both of them were exhausted. An Lingrong leaned on the pillow, looked at the emperor's lazy expression, and suddenly spoke.

Your Majesty, the aunt from the Queen Mother's palace came to my palace today. "Hmm? What are you doing here?" But the Queen Mother missed Xiaoliu?

No, it was about Concubine Duan being demoted to Concubine Duan. The emperor looked suspicious and said, "I have heard about this from the empress dowager." If it weren't for General Qi Ru's previous merits, I would never let him go easily.

"But the Queen Mother has already dealt with this matter, so I can't say more. I will just compensate Mei'er in the future."

"Your Majesty is wise. I have no doubts about the Empress Dowager's decision." I was just thinking that Concubine Duan wanted to give Xiaoliu a necklace at her full-month banquet, and I thought she must be a kind person. I didn't expect that she would be so vicious in private.

Now that she thinks about it carefully, she wanted to give the necklace to Xiaoliu that day to celebrate her full moon. At this point, An Lingrong approached the emperor with a very scared look.

Your Majesty, I am afraid. If Concubine Duan has feelings for the Sixth Prince, will I still be able to stay alive? Your Majesty...

The emperor frowned and patted An Lingrong on the back gently, "Rong'er, don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt our son," and I will definitely protect you and your son.

Yes, thank you, Your Majesty.

An Lingrong's soft voice made the emperor feel distressed, "Don't worry, Xiaoliu will grow up safely, and you will always be safe by my side."

An Lingrong nodded silently, and the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms without saying anything.

The next morning, An Lingrong waited on the Emperor to attend court, and then went to pay her respects to the Empress. "After leaving Jingren Palace, An Lingrong paid her respects to Concubine Jing. I wonder if Concubine Jing will be free these two days?"

"Little Six is ​​usually bored in the palace. I heard that Concubine Jing in Xianfu Palace has raised several orchids. I wonder if this concubine and Sixth Prince have the honor to go and see them."

Concubine Jing loves children very much. Unlike Concubine Duan, she will not take the initiative to harm others. After hearing that An Lingrong took the Sixth Prince to Xianfu Palace, Concubine Jing was happy and did not refuse.

Reaching out and holding An Lingrong, "Sister, you're welcome. Of course you can! You can come anytime you are free."

Thank you very much, Your Majesty. After the two of them agreed, they returned to the palace. Since Shen Meizhuang did not come today, An Lingrong had breakfast alone.

After finishing breakfast, he comforted the Sixth Prince and walked around the yard in his arms before entering the palace and sitting down. Then, the eunuchs shouted outside: The Emperor has arrived...

An Lingrong put the Sixth Prince down, stood up and went to meet him, and they walked back together a few moments later. "How did the Emperor find time to come today?"

After the court session, she thought of Xiaoliu and came to see him. An Lingrong pointed at the Sixth Prince who was lying on the couch and eating his fingers.

He said: "There it is! Your Majesty, look, you are here so early, have you had breakfast?"

No? "Then Your Majesty, accompany Xiaoliu, and I will go to the small kitchen to take a look? Prepare breakfast for you!" Okay, go ahead! After leaving the main hall, An Lingrong sighed helplessly. She had planned to go to Xianfu Palace today.

"It looks like it will have to be put on hold again. Fortunately, An Lingrong had just finished her breakfast, so the Emperor didn't have to wait long to get his breakfast."

Seeing the emperor put down his chopsticks, An Lingrong asked, "Your Majesty came suddenly today, and the food in the small kitchen was a bit hasty. I wonder if it suits your appetite?"

The emperor nodded. Things like yours are always good. I have been thinking about Xiaoliu's name these days. "I have discussed with the empress dowager that we should give him a name when he is one year old."

"But you can also think about it early in advance, so you don't have to worry when the time comes." An Lingrong was delighted and her eyes lit up after hearing this.

But then he thought about the Queen Mother's intention to give the name at the age of one, so he suppressed his joy. Your Majesty, Xiaoliu is only a little old, and it's still a long way to go before he turns one.

How could the emperor be so worried about this so early? "Xiao Liu is my son. I just gave him a name. How can I say I am worried about him?"

But the prince's name has always been a very important thing. I will tell you when I have a clue. Yes, thank you, Your Majesty.

After An Lingrong responded, the emperor said again: There are still some memorials in the Yangxin Palace. I will go back first and come to see you and Xiaoliu another day.

An Lingrong was surprised that the emperor suddenly changed the topic, but she immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I'll see you off." An Lingrong took the emperor's arm and escorted him out.

After the emperor walked away, An Lingrong turned and entered the palace, asked the wet nurse to carry the Sixth Prince, and prepared to go to Xianfu Palace. An Lingrong asked someone to summon Jiaozi, and brought a few people, staggering to the gate of Xianfu Palace.

Ever since Shen Meizhuang moved out, the Xianfu Palace has become much quieter. Seeing the deserted appearance, An Lingrong shook her head slightly.
