An Lingrong after rebirth

Before Shen Meizhuang could finish her words, a figure flashed past the door and the emperor appeared at the door. The light dimmed and An Lingrong and the other looked up with a look of surprise on their faces.

They hurriedly helped each other to stand up and saluted the emperor. The concubines greeted the emperor and wished him good health and happiness. The emperor strode forward.

I personally helped An Lingrong up. Although she was a little girl, she had her own thoughts. This really impressed me. An Lingrong smiled and pushed the emperor, "Your Majesty, Sister Mei is still kneeling."

After hearing this, the emperor laughed and helped Shen Meizhuang up. Mei'er, Rong'er, you two are simple-minded people. It's great for you to be together.

Shen Meizhuang was still in a daze, not knowing what to do. An Lingrong helped the emperor to sit down, then reached out and slapped Shen Meizhuang in the face. They both sat down, and then she said in a tender voice: "Your Majesty, you opened it so quietly that you scared Sister Mei."

Your Majesty, please comfort me. If anything goes wrong with my sister, I will not tolerate it.

The emperor pulled one of them with each hand and squeezed Shen Meizhuang's hand, "Mei'er is not such a timid person." Rong'er is about to become a mother, and her mouth is getting more and more powerful.

Shen Meizhuang finally reacted, and looking at the hand being held by the emperor, she couldn't help blushing in front of An Lingrong. She gently pulled her hand back.

Thinking that the emperor must have something to ask Rong'er, it would be inconvenient for her to be here, so she stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I got up in a hurry and haven't packed yet. I will come as soon as I have packed."

Just let Rong'er go to accompany the emperor. The emperor nodded and said, "Okay, you go."

Shen Meizhuang glanced at An Lingrong, and only after seeing the reassuring look in An Lingrong's eyes did she help Caiyue to retreat. After Shen Meizhuang left again, An Lingrong waved her hand and cleared the people in the hall.

When there were only two people left in the hall, she opened her mouth and asked: Your Majesty came in such a hurry, I dare to ask, is it because of my father's military rations?

The emperor chuckled and said, "You are quite honest. After this happened, I was thinking whether you would be anxious if you knew about kneeling. Su Peisheng said that she was pregnant, and he would always let you know no matter what the result was."

I came to see you so that you wouldn't guess blindly, but I didn't expect you to be in no hurry at all, which surprised me. Your Majesty, I just told Sister Mei that once I entered the palace, I belonged to your Majesty.

Naturally, we have to consider the emperor at all times.

It is not for any other reason. I have disregarded the emperor's care for so long. Even if that man is my father, he should be punished if he is wrong. I think the same way.

I have heard these words outside just now. Rong'er is indeed different from other women. I really like her. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise.

An Lingrong said softly, sighing softly, "Your Majesty, I have a question in my mind?" I am just a small noble, let alone Songyang County, I have no way of knowing what is happening in the capital outside the palace.

But today's matter was reported to me and Sister Mei early on. Your Majesty, I really feel it is very strange. If I did not have some plans in my mind, I would not be sure whether the baby in my belly would be safe in my grief now.

Huang Shang's eyes showed anger after hearing this. He had been on the throne for a short time, but he had very few offspring, with only three growing up.

Now that there is finally a pregnant woman in the harem, these people are all so worried. They can't just live a good life, but they have to create these troubles.

The emperor already hated the infighting in the harem, so how could he be angry after figuring it out?

But I can't show it in front of An Lingrong, I can only comfort her, "Rong'er, don't worry, I will have someone thoroughly investigate your father's matter. I will not let a bad guy go, and I will not wrongly accuse a good guy."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, An Lingrong suddenly stood up and knelt in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, I have a request and would like to ask for your permission." The emperor was suspicious by nature.

When he thought about what he had heard outside before, and that it might be that An Lingrong was pretending in front of Shen Meiyu, his face suddenly turned cold.

There was no divine hand to help An Lingrong, but he just asked: "What's the matter?" An Lingrong didn't pay attention to the change in the other party's tone, and said respectfully: "The emperor did it for me."

I am extremely grateful that my father did not order the beheading of my concubine after the military ration incident. But I have one thing to say, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame me.

If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Even for the sake of the child in your belly, I will not blame you! The emperor's calm tone made An Lingrong hear a different meaning.

What do you mean by not blaming her for the sake of the child? It's just to make her think about the child in her belly, don't say anything excessive! However, An Lingrong never thought of pleading for An Bihuai, so she didn't care about it.

Taking a deep breath, An Lingrong spoke again: Even if Your Majesty has not had any concerns about military rations, these thoughts have been turning over in my mind. In the past, it was because the harem was not allowed to interfere in matters of the previous dynasty.

I didn't dare to say anything, but now that my father was involved in this matter, I had to say a few more words. When she said this, a look of sadness appeared on An Lingrong's face. She held her stomach before speaking again.

No matter what the outcome of this matter is, I beg Your Majesty to punish my father severely. If my father is wrong, please do not spare my face and just deal with him according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty.

If my father did nothing wrong, please decree that he be dismissed from his position and allowed to be an ordinary citizen. The emperor was stunned by An Lingrong's words.

It took him a long while to react. He reached out his hand to pull An Lingrong up. Rong'er's words made me confused. When An Lingrong looked up again, tears were flashing in her eyes.

Your Majesty, I know best what kind of person my father is. I have seen him since he was young. He is selfish and always puts profit first in everything. How can such a person be an official?

If I let it go, he will become more and more arrogant because he has a daughter in the palace. One day, I will find it even more difficult for the Emperor. These are my true words, please understand my Majesty.

It is rare that your father can raise a good daughter like you. The emperor said, holding An Lingrong's hand again, his tone softened.

But have you ever thought that if your father is punished, you will be the daughter of a traitor; if he is dismissed from his official position, you will be a traitor. Either way it will be disadvantageous to you. Do you really want to make this wish?

No matter Your Majesty is the daughter of a criminal or a commoner, I have no complaints. I just hope Your Majesty will not make things difficult for me, otherwise I will never be able to part with you even if I die.

Moreover, my father is incompetent and easily deceived. He is an official who cannot benefit the people. If one day he is instigated to bully the people, he will be guilty of a capital crime. After all, he is still my father no matter what, and I don't want to see him like this.

An Lingrong's voice was firm and without any hesitation, which made the emperor even more satisfied. He paused and said: If you were the daughter of a criminal, the baby in your belly might be implicated, would you be willing to do that?

If the emperor comes as well, I will be grateful for his favor. Besides, the child in my belly is the emperor's child first. I believe that no matter she is the daughter of a criminal or a commoner, as long as the emperor is willing to protect her, no one will dare to bully her.

The emperor looked at An Lingrong's face full of sincerity, and finally nodded with satisfaction. Rong'er sees it most clearly. I am very pleased. It is worth my love for you these days.

An Lingrong wiped her tears with a handkerchief and forced a smile. Your Majesty, in my heart, the greatest contribution my father made in his life was giving me this life, allowing me to enter the palace and be selected.

I am very glad to be with the emperor, and I feel so happy to have someone to rely on, but I cannot erase the guilt he committed. At this point, An Lingrong's voice became soft again. The emperor once said that my voice is very similar to that of an old friend of yours.

It is the Emperor's luck that he chooses me during the palace selection. But for me, being able to stay with the Emperor throughout my life is the greatest luck in my life!

I am very grateful that Your Majesty feels familiar with me. I wish to repay your kindness in my lifetime.

The emperor pulled An Lingrong closer to him and said, "What Rong'er said made me happy. I will protect you and the child well and will not let others bully you."

I would like to thank the Emperor on behalf of my child, and thank his father. The Emperor saw that there were still traces of tears on An Lingrong's face that had not been wiped away, so he reached out and took the handkerchief to wipe them.

Rong'er has a snow-white complexion. "Don't cry anymore in the future. It doesn't look good when you cry." An Lingrong chuckled and a slight blush appeared on her face. "Your Majesty, are you making fun of me?"

After saying that, he took two steps back and said, "Your Majesty, Sister Mei is coming. Your Majesty hasn't had breakfast yet, let's have it together!"

I thought I would see An Lingrong crying today, but I didn't expect to see this young woman showing such a righteous side, which made the emperor even more satisfied.

The emperor was in a good mood and did not refuse. He nodded and said, "Okay, let me see what you are having for breakfast?" An Lingrong pulled the emperor to sit down and pointed. The emperor will be wronged today. There are many things that the concubine cannot eat when she is pregnant.

Only Sister Mei’s osmanthus lotus root powder cake is edible. This will be our breakfast today. It will be enough with a portion of porridge. Your Majesty, take a look and see if you have an appetite.

As An Lingrong was talking, she glanced at Qiufang when she saw her coming in. Qiufang understood and said nothing. The emperor was not a person who took orders seriously. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "Rong'er, for the sake of the child, I will naturally share the joys and sorrows with you."

I have eaten Mei'er's osmanthus lotus root powder cake several times before in Bitong Academy, and Concubine Wan also praised it very much. Today I want to try yours to see how different it is.

An Lingrong smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, Sister Mei knows that I am pregnant and feeling uncomfortable, and cannot eat the food I cook. Today, Your Majesty will benefit from this."

The emperor laughed loudly, "You mischievous ghost, okay, okay, okay, I will take advantage of you today." The two sat down, and soon Qiu Fangliu came in with Shen Meizhuang. After breakfast, the emperor got up and left.

When there were only two people in the hall, Shen Meizhuang said worriedly: "Rong'er, it's hard for me to say anything since the emperor is here. Have you asked the emperor to plead for your uncle?"

An Lingrong would not blame Shen Meizhuang for not knowing about her family's affairs. Shen Meizhuang had been loved by her father and mother since childhood, so how could she understand that there would be a father like An Bihuai in the world.

An Lingrong shook her head, Sister Mei, I won't plead for him. Shen Meizhuang looked puzzled when she heard this, and An Lingrong gave her a look.

Sister Mei, do you know how my father got this official position? In short, An Bihuai can't be an official anymore, so it doesn't matter whether he buys the position or not.

An Lingrong explained in detail why she did this, so that Shen Meizhuang would not misunderstand that she had a vicious mind and could not even help her own biological father.

Seeing Shen Meizhuang shaking her head, An Lingrong spoke again, "Sister often praises my embroidery skills. Do you know that my mother was a famous Suzhou embroidery embroiderer in Hangzhou?"

After meeting my father, she quit her job at the embroidery workshop and followed him to Songyang County. His official position was bought with the money my mother earned from embroidery.

"Buying an official position!" Shen Meizhuang exclaimed in a low voice, knowing that such a thing should not be heard by others, and whispered to Rong'er not to let a third person know about this.

An Lingrong heard the concern in Shen Meizhuang's words and nodded, "Don't worry, sister. It doesn't matter if others know. I have already made it clear to the emperor. Whether he is guilty or not, he will be dismissed from his official position."

But if that's the case, Rong'er, you just...

My sister is worried that if she doesn't have a father who is an official, it will be difficult for her to stay in the harem! But in the harem, if we look at the family background, how can Noble Lady Fucha lag behind you and me? She is from the Fucha family, and now she doesn't even have a title.

Shen Meizhuang still frowned slightly and nodded. What you said makes sense, but there is a difference between being a commoner and being an official. It is far from being comparable to the brightness of the family. I am still very worried.

Sister may be confused, why am I so resolute, An Lingrong took the initiative to change the subject. Didn't you say that your father bought an official position? If not, it must be because of this.

There are countless cases of buying and selling official positions in the world. If it was just because of this, why would I be so determined! My father is a heartless person who favors his concubines over his wife.
