An Lingrong after rebirth

"It's just a few idle words, why do you have to apologize?"

The emperor responded but still didn't raise his head from the memorial.

Zhen Huan paused for a moment and continued, "Your Majesty must have been exhausted all day. Why don't you take a break? I brought some snacks from the Yanxi Palace. Your Majesty, please take some time to enjoy them."

"What did you bring today?"

"Your Majesty, before I came, Longyue wanted to eat jujube paste and yam cake, but she felt sleepy after it was ready, so I put a plate of it here, and also prepared a bowl of white fungus soup, so it won't be too sweet."

The emperor seemed to be intrigued by what Zhen Huan said.

Putting down the red brush in his hand, "Hanhuan has taken so much trouble, how can I not use some of it?"

"Silang is always busy with government affairs. These are just small things. If they can help relieve Silang's fatigue, then this snack will be of the greatest use."

"The emperor changed his address, and Zhen Huan immediately followed suit. For a moment, the atmosphere between the two seemed very good."

"But what exactly is going on in her mind? Even though she calls him Si Lang, who is she thinking of? I'm afraid only Zhen Huan herself knows."

They both sat down and Zhen Huan took out some snacks from the food box.

"But the Emperor finished his bowl of Tremella soup, and Zhen Huan stared at the ground in front of her, lost in thought, and even forgot to hand the handkerchief to him."

The emperor reached out and took the handkerchief from Zhen Huan's hand, and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it?"

Zhen Huan seemed to have just realized what was happening. She turned to look at the emperor and forced a smile. "Silang, you worry too much. I am fine."

"You look so distraught, how can nothing happen to you? Is there something else that you cannot tell me?"

Zhen Huan struggled for a moment, and finally made up her mind after gritting her teeth. She said, "I met Sister Mei on the way here. Sister Mei was in a hurry to go back to prepare snacks for the Eighth Prince, so I didn't talk to her for a long time. Seeing Sister Mei taking so much trouble for the child, I envy her."

Having said this, Zhen Huan lowered her head, her expression becoming a little more lonely.

"Your Majesty just asked me if Longyue was distressed when I came here. It is true that Longyue has not seen Your Majesty for a few days and naturally missed him very much. But ever since the Ninth Prince moved out of the Yanxi Palace, this child has been depressed..."

There is no need to say more.

At this point, Zhen Huan's voice paused.

He looked as if he was about to cry.

"The emperor had experienced a lot in his childhood, and he always thought that his so-called adoptive mother's words would not be false. Now, after hearing what Zhen Huan said, I wonder if he recalled some memories."

But after all, I still have some rationality.

He sighed softly, "After the Queen was injured, her body is not as healthy as before. With Prince Nine in care, Jingren Palace will be more lively. If Longyue misses his brother, you can take him to Jingren Palace often. After the New Year, let Xiaojiu return to Yanxi Palace."

What Zhen Huan said today must have been guided by an "expert".

Hearing the emperor's reply, he was not surprised.

Then he looked up and said, "I'm not just worried about Longyue. Silang also said that Huanhuan is always worried about the Queen's health as well."

"Ninth Prince is in a state of turmoil right now. If he can help His Majesty to relieve her boredom, it would be a good thing. But if this causes the Empress to be exhausted, Huanhuan will be doomed to die."

The emperor fell silent after hearing this.

After thinking for a long time and about to open his mouth to respond, Zhen Huan opposite him suddenly covered her mouth with her hands and made a dry heave sound.

"What's the matter?" As he said this, he handed the handkerchief back to Zhen Huan, turned around and shouted, "Su Peisheng!" In just a cup of tea, Wen Shichu had hurried into the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

After taking the patient's pulse, Wen Shichu knelt down with a look of joy on his face. "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Concubine Wan is pregnant and has been pregnant for more than two months."

"what?"

Zhen Huan had a look of joy on her face, and seemed quite surprised.

"Your Majesty's pulse is beating like a pearl. It is absolutely true that you are pregnant. It cannot be faked."

"Shiro..."

The emperor's face was now so wide that he couldn't hide his smile.

"Great! Concubine Rou is pregnant, which is great news. I didn't expect Huanhuan to be pregnant as well. This is a blessing for the harem. Su Peisheng, pass on the imperial decree to inform the six palaces that Concubine Wan has contributed greatly to the birth of the royal heir, and she shall be restored to the position of Concubine Wan!"

"twitter!"

Everyone in the Yangxin Palace was in a joyous mood, but Cui Jinxi outside the palace looked distressed.

Su Peisheng left the main hall and said with a smile, "Empress Wan is very happy, why do you seem unhappy?"

Cui Jinxi waved her hands after hearing this and said, "How could that be? It's just that the queen had a miscarriage last time, and I'm just worried about her health."

Su Peisheng smiled and nodded, and then said, "I think the emperor and the queen will have a private conversation for a while, why don't you go to the side and rest for a while."

"I heard that the emperor's decree is to be announced to the six palaces, so you should go there early." Cui Jinxi waved her hand to refuse. Su Peisheng turned around and left in a hurry without saying much.

The news that Zhen Huan had regained her throne and was pregnant again soon spread to the six palaces in the east and west.

When An Lingrong heard the news, for some reason, a strange emotion emerged in her heart.

"I subconsciously thought of the twin boy and girl that Guaerjia failed to report in my previous life. But it only took a moment before I collected my thoughts."

"Zhen Huan has not left the palace yet, so how could there be any problem with the child? However, since they are both concubines, there is no need to worry about giving any rewards."

Just a few days later, when the various palaces came to pay their respects, they would just say a few words of congratulations, and that was all.

But now that she is pregnant, there is no reason for her to bring the Ninth Prince back to the Yanxi Palace.

This matter can only be left at this point.

After coming out of Jingren Palace, An Lingrong took Shen Meizhuang's arm and said, "Sister Mei, why do I see that you look strange today? Is there anything wrong?"

Shen Meizhuang's smile was a little forced, and then she shook her head. "I think I didn't sleep well last night, and I feel a little sleepy for a while, so I'm not in good spirits. It's nothing, you don't have to worry."

"Didn't you sleep well? Did the two kids bother you?"

"Isn't it normal for children to cry occasionally? I'm fine, I'll go back to sleep soon."

"Then I will take the child to Chengqian Palace first, so that my sister can have a good rest."

Shen Meizhuang did not refuse and nodded, "Okay, but I'm afraid you will have to work hard to prepare snacks today."

"Sister, you do this every day, but I'm only doing this for one day, so why should I say it's hard?"

The two of them talked without stopping.

Behind them, Zhen Huan looked at the two of them from behind, with a somewhat lonely look on her face.

After supporting Cui Jinxi all the way to a secluded place, he asked, "Is what Xiao Laizi said two days ago true?"

Cui Jinxi looked a little hesitant. "My queen, Xiao Laizi is Xiao Yunzi's brother. He has always been loyal to you. I'm sure he wouldn't deliberately deceive you."

"It's just that the virtuous concubine has always been as calm as a chrysanthemum, never getting involved in palace fighting. After entering the palace for many years, there is no grudge between her and the concubine."

"I think that maybe Xiao Laizi heard something from somewhere and misunderstood it, so he thought that the virtuous concubine was deliberately investigating the virtuous concubine's affairs in private, right?"

After hearing this, Zhen Huan turned around and glanced at Cui Jinxi. "Since I met her on the palace road that day, her attitude has made me feel very strange. Maybe she has some ideas in her mind, so she secretly asked someone to investigate?"

Cui Jinxi listened to Zhen Huan's tone and knew that if she had a different opinion again, the other party would probably overthink it.

After a brief pause, he continued, "Your Majesty is right. If that is the case, should we think of a way to dissuade Your Majesty from having such an idea?"

"Once suspicion arises, how can it be easily dispelled?" Zhen Huan whispered, her expression seemed conflicted and fierce.

After a long while, he finally said again, "Let Xiao Laizi keep a close eye on him. If the eunuch who is investigating still doesn't stop, kill him first, and then see what the virtuous concubine will do."

At this point, Zhen Huan looked up at the sky and said, "Sister Mei, you and I have always had different wishes. If that day really comes, please don't blame me."

"In the end, I only hope that my Zhen family can be vindicated and my children will no longer be the descendants of criminals!"

"Zhen Huan is different from others. Since she became pregnant, the emperor has either not entered the harem for half a month or stayed in the Yanxi Palace."

"Some people were happy and at ease, but the other two who were pregnant felt very uncomfortable, especially Noble Lady Rou, who was also pregnant."

"Everyone else has been promoted, but I haven't made any progress. It's even difficult for me to see the emperor. But Concubine Rou is just unhappy in her heart, and Concubine Wen has been feeling unwell recently."

"When a normal person is three months pregnant, the fetus should be stable and not as uncomfortable as when they first get pregnant. But Concubine Wen is different from others."

There was no discomfort at first, but after three months, I felt uncomfortable every day.

"Not to mention eating, even eating snacks, I would vomit all the time. I feel so uncomfortable every day, and I am getting thinner and thinner."

"Although Zhuying tried every possible way to prepare more meals for the other party, it was useless. The imperial hospital doctors also saw five or six people, but there was no improvement."

Zhongcui Palace.

Concubine Wen’s face turned pale and she leaned weakly on the couch.

Zhu Ying beside her held a bowl of porridge and said, "Madam, if you are pregnant and can't eat for a long time, you will feel uncomfortable, and the little prince in your belly will be even more uncomfortable. You should at least have some."

Concubine Wen shook her head bitterly, "Aunt, it's not that I don't want to eat, it's just that I really can't eat..."

"My lady, it is very hard for a woman to be pregnant. Even for your own health, you cannot go without food for such a long time. I did not add anything greasy to this porridge, but I did add some lotus seeds, which is very refreshing. My lady, would you like to try it?"

Concubine Wen was already feeling hungry, but she didn't dare to eat because she thought about vomiting all over the place.

"At this moment, please ask Zhuying to say so, and she suppressed the churning in her stomach. She reached out to take the porridge and sniffed it. As expected, a refreshing fragrance filled her nose."

Concubine Wen looked a little better. She took a sip and found that she didn't feel her stomach churning.

A feeling of joy surged in my heart. I took the spoon and soon, a bowl of porridge was in my stomach.

Passing the bowl to Zhuying, Concubine Wen smiled and said, "I have been tortured for so many days. It turns out that my aunt is capable. She is worthy of being someone close to the Queen Mother."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. The Queen Mother only hopes that you can be in good health and give her another healthy grandson."

Zhu Ying smiled and responded, "This porridge is edible, but such a small bowl is definitely not enough. I will serve you another bowl. I also prepared a few refreshing side dishes this morning. You can try it later."

"In this case, thank you for your hard work, aunt."

"You're welcome, my lady."

"Zhu Ying bowed and turned away. Concubine Wen held her handkerchief and tucked the corner of her mouth, but a hint of worry flashed in her eyes."

"Although this is her first pregnancy, she has seen other people get pregnant before, whether in the grassland or after entering the palace."

"She believes that she is a woman from the grassland and her body is much healthier than that of ordinary concubines. Why is she the one who is like this now?"

And... only the porridge made by Zhuying is tasty to me.

Everything is really unusual.

"But even though she thought so clearly, she still felt confused about the road ahead and couldn't see where she was coming from, because the entire Imperial Hospital now only has a mouth."

No matter how much I ask, I can't really figure out anything. Maybe it's just what I have thought about before.
