An Lingrong after rebirth

"Hua Fei is like this, Yi Xiu is not surprised and does not show any anger. She seems to smile helplessly and says: Hua Fei is so impatient. She does not see others competing with her for favor. She is still a little girl."

"After Yixiu said this, the hall remained silent, and several people didn't know how to respond for a moment."

Fortunately, Yixiu did not expect others to respond to her, and her eyes turned slightly to Jingfei, "Jingfei, tell me if there is anything missing. After hearing this, Jingfei stood up and said, "Queen, the Seventh Prince is still young, won't you bring her and her son this time?"

"Yi Xiu smiled and looked at An Lingrong. I thought about the deep sisterly love between Shupin and Xianpin. If Shupin stays, Xianpin will naturally have to stay as well. Why don't I leave this matter to Shupin and ask in person?"

"If Xianpin wants to go with you, you can come back to the palace. One or two more people won't be a big deal, right!"

"Seeing An Lingrong agree, Yixiu nodded, feeling satisfied. I have kept you talking for so long, and my sister must be tired. You should all go back and prepare as soon as possible. We will set off in a few days."

Yes, I’ll take my leave.

The three of them left Jingren Palace together. Before Concubine Jing could speak, Concubine Xin couldn't help but speak first, "Sister, why don't you go to the garden? There's only one chance a year...!"

"An Lingrong smiled and said: The Queen asked this question just now. I have been there for several years, so I don't think it is anything new. Besides, Hong Zhao is too attached to the Queen Mother now, and I have no choice!"

"So I decided to stay in the palace, so as to save the emperor from trouble! I am ashamed to think so, sister."

Concubine Jing responded from the side, causing An Lingrong to burst out laughing, "Look at what the two sisters said, it's not like someone else is wronging me and not letting me go with you."

"Okay, okay, it's getting late. I'm in a hurry to go to Yonghe Palace. My two sisters need to go back and pack their luggage. Can you guys go back quickly?"

Concubine Jing nodded and said, "Okay!"

The three of them left separately. An Lingrong supported Lian'er and walked slowly. Just as they turned the corner at the entrance of Jingren Palace, Lian'er couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, the Queen asked you to ask Concubine Xian. Isn't this a sign of hatred?"

An Lingrong looked at Lian'er with amusement, "Oh? You saw that too?"

"Everyone in the palace knows that the Queen is on good terms with Concubine Xian. The Queen's decision not to go to the garden this time was her own. Whether Concubine Xian goes or not has nothing to do with us."

"But the Queen asked you to ask. What if Concubine Xian wants to go but is too embarrassed to ask and has to say she doesn't want to go? Wouldn't that make Concubine Xian unhappy?"

"Lian'er pouted and said something that surprised An Lingrong. After following me for so many years, this little girl has finally grown up."

"The Queen is plotting this. Now that she has spoken, I have no choice but to ask. Even if I ask, I will naturally want to bear the consequences of making Sister Mei unhappy. It's a pity that the Queen has overlooked one thing..."

Lian Er turned around curiously and asked, "Madam, what's the matter?"

"An Lingrong did not answer immediately, but shook her head and said with a smile: This is a big secret of Sister Mei! But if anyone wants to talk about it, it shouldn't be me who should say it, so don't pry into it, little girl."

"Lian Er knew that An Lingrong was joking with her, so she wasn't afraid and said with a smile: 'If the Majesty doesn't allow me to ask, then I won't ask.'"

I remember that the Queen once said, "If one day I can figure out the key myself, that will be considered a real ability!" An Lingrong turned her head and glanced at Lian'er, I've been waiting for this day for you.

"After that, the master and servant shut up and headed towards Yonghe Palace. When they arrived at Yonghe Palace, Shen Meizhuang was holding an embroidery frame, looking down and frowning. She hadn't moved the needle and thread in her hands for a long time."

"I don't know, maybe she doesn't know how to embroider or something! An Lingrong didn't let anyone know, and when she saw this look when she entered the room, she immediately smiled and asked, 'Sister Mei, what are you embroidering? Why are you holding an embroidery frame without moving?'"

"Shen Meizhuang looked up in surprise when she heard the voice, and immediately smiled when she saw An Lingrong. You came at a good time. Come and show me this tiger head pattern."

I always can't embroider well. I've embroidered and revised it many times, but it never seems right.

"An Lingrong paused, not knowing what she was thinking of. Her eyes turned slightly red, and a smile crept up on her cheeks again. Lian'er quickly stepped forward and took the embroidery frame from Shen Meizhuang's hand."

Let me see!

"An Lingrong lowered her head slightly and tilted her face slightly. Seeing this vague pattern in her memory, she suddenly asked for something."

"She reached out and took the needle and thread from Shen Meizhuang's hand, and stopped after a moment, "Sister Mei, do you think this is okay?" Shen Meizhuang took it and looked at it, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Oh, I've seen your embroidery skills a long time ago, and I'm still fascinated by them now. This embroidery palace is even more amazing. With your skills, this tiger head is truly lifelike."

As long as my sister likes it, Shen Meizhuang turned her head and looked at An Lingrong. She was startled and reached out to hold An Lingrong's hand and said, "Rong'er, what's wrong? You don't look very happy."

"An Lingrong shook her head. No, sister. I am embroidering small summer clothes for the children. In a couple of days, sister will take Jun'er to try on the size to see if it fits. It can be opened immediately."

"With your skillful hands, I can only leave mine alone. Shen Meizhuang deliberately teased, why can't you come alone today, where is Zhao'er?"

"I have just come from Jingren Palace and have not returned yet! The children are all at home! No wonder you seem to be in low spirits, but what does the Queen want?"

An Lingrong shook her head and said, "Sister, I don't plan to go to the garden this year. I have already asked the Queen for permission to stay in the palace to handle the affairs of the six palaces."

"Really? If you don't go, I won't go either. The kids can have more fun together. As soon as An Lingrong finished speaking, Shen Meizhuang spoke without hesitation, which surprised An Lingrong."

"Sister, I have my own plans for not going to the garden, so why should I stay in the palace?"

"You and I are the only good friends in the harem, and the three children can play together. If you don't go, why should I go to the garden alone to waste my time? It's better to be with you in the palace every day, it will be more relaxed."

"Shen Meizhuang waved her hand nonchalantly. Why do you suddenly want to stay in the palace? Although the emperor and empress are not in the palace, you are the only one in charge of palace affairs, which is very tiring."

"An Lingrong finally smiled at this moment. Isn't it because I have my sister to help me?"

After saying this, An Lingrong stood up and walked to Shen Meizhuang, "Sister, this time I really need your help to deal with the affairs of the six palaces."

An Lingrong suddenly had a cramp, causing Shen Meizhuang to mutter inwardly, "Of course I can't bear to see you working yourself to exhaustion, but I noticed something strange about you today, are you hiding something from me?"

After hearing this, An Lingrong motioned Caiyue to go to the door and take a look. After closing the door, she leaned in and whispered in Shen Meizhuang's ear, "Sister, I think I'm pregnant again!"

"An Lingrong's voice was soft and gentle, but Shen Meizhuang suddenly stood up. Lian'er, Caiyue, go guard the door. No one can get close."

After the two hurriedly left, Shen Meizhuang held An Lingrong's hand and said, "Rong'er, is this true? Has Jingren Palace not discovered it?"

"After saying that, I realized that she probably didn't. If she knew, she wouldn't let you stay in the palace."

"It's good that you understand what I mean, sister. But today the Queen agreed to the plan to alienate us? There was a hint of sneer in her voice when she said this."

Shen Meizhuang was stunned after hearing this. What did you mean?

"An Lingrong's eyes turned slightly, and she told me everything that happened in Jingren Palace today. Then she added: Originally, Jianqiu should have made the trip, but she insisted on asking me to tell it."

"I thought to myself that she might have done this on purpose, to make her think that I deliberately didn't let you go to the garden, in order to create discord between us!"

Shen Meizhuang smiled coldly. She had calculated everything, but she didn't expect that I was not as intoxicated as others, the so-called favor!

"Yes, this is the key point that Lian'er didn't see through! Among the women in the harem, who wouldn't want the emperor to take a second look at them?"

"But Shen Meizhuang is not one of them, so the Queen's plan will definitely not succeed this time."

"Sister is right. We just need to live our lives well and don't need to worry about other things."

Shen Meizhuang nodded. Others have said these things. Your pregnancy is a great joy. Do you know how long it has been?

"An Lingrong lowered her head and reached out to touch her flat belly. 'It's been about a month since my sister's baby was born!' A month is before the fourth princess went out?

"Shen Meizhuang frowned slightly. It's not even three months yet. It's just right that we don't go to the garden this time. You just need to take care of your pregnancy. When they go to the garden, I'll take care of the palace affairs and you don't have to worry about it."

After hearing this, An Lingrong held Shen Meizhuang's arm and said, "Sister Mei, I know you treat me the best!"

"After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang reached out and touched An Lingrong's forehead, saying, 'Don't act weird like that, be gentler.'"

"Yes, yes, yes! I have to take good care of this belly, so that when the baby is born, my sister can give me good things!"

"Shen Meizhuang glared at An Lingrong helplessly, and the two smiled at each other. Only laughter remained in the hall."

"After sitting for a while, An Lingrong called Lian'er in and asked her to go to Jingren Palace to report that Shen Meizhuang would not go to the garden either."

"An Lingrong left Yonghe Palace only after Xiaolian'er came back. But just as she reached the gate of Yanxi Palace, she heard footsteps coming from behind."

"Turning around, he saw the emperor coming in a sedan chair. An Ling supported Lian Errong and was puzzled as to why the other party came so suddenly. He stepped back a little according to the rules and waited for the emperor's sedan chair to land before kneeling to salute."

I, your concubine, pay my respects to His Majesty, and wish you good health and happiness!

The emperor strode down from the sedan chair and reached out to pull An Lingrong up. "Where are you coming from? Where are the children?"

"An Lingrong stretched out her hand and took the other person's strength to stand up, then she spoke; Your Majesty, I went to Yonghe Palace and just came back from Sister Mei."

The children are all at home. The emperor took An Lingrong by the hand and said, "I heard from the queen that you are not going to the garden this year and want to stay in the palace. Why is that?"

The Empress was indeed very decisive. An Lingrong smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, both the Emperor and the Empress will go to the garden, but the Empress Dowager will stay in the palace. Although there won't be much to do in the palace, someone will still need to watch over it."

"I kept Sister Xinpin last year, but I can't let her suffer every year! Although I am not talented, I am willing to share the worries of the emperor."

"Rong'er understands the general situation, but I will be thinking about you day and night after being away for several months."

"An Lingrong's neck turned red after hearing the emperor's words. She pushed the emperor lightly. The emperor was so disrespectful in broad daylight."

"Even so, An Lingrong's appearance made the emperor laugh heartily, and the two of them talked all the way into the main hall."

"I just happened to see Hong Zhao lying on the bed, looking out the door with his head raised, as if he heard the two people talking!"

"When the two came in, the little guy immediately started to cry out, 'Father, mother!' The emperor saw this and laughed, 'This kid has sharp ears.'"

As he spoke, he stepped forward and picked up Hong Zhao. An Lingrong followed suit and picked up the princess. "Not only are his ears sharp, his lips are sharp too. They always scare the princess awake."

"It's just that the princess seems to have gotten used to Hong Zhao's yelling. Even though his voice was so loud, she didn't cry this time."

"The emperor listened and looked over. The third princess just stared with her eyes wide open and babbled non-stop!"

"Hahaha, in my opinion, the princess will also be led by Hong Zhao to grumble all day long! An Lingrong sighed helplessly. I don't know who this kid takes after. I wonder if the emperor was like this when he was young?"
