"But Concubine Duan doesn't like the way I dress. Today, I wore this dress to pay my respects to her, and she reprimanded me."

Concubine Qi looked aggrieved. She stepped forward and took the emperor's arm, speaking in a coquettish tone.

An Lingrong finally understood what was going on after hearing this. Concubine Duan must have gotten the emperor's favor and the pleasure of manipulating people by having Zhen Huan dress up like Chun Yuan. Now that Zhen Huan has fallen out of favor, she wants to create another Chun Yuan to win over the emperor...

"Ha~" An Lingrong couldn't help but laughed out loud. When she came to her senses, she saw Concubine Qi glaring at her. But it was not her fault. It was Concubine Duan who came up with the idea of ​​letting Concubine Qi dress up like Chun Yuan.

An Lingrong suppressed her smile and looked at Concubine Qi seriously, pretending that nothing had happened. Concubine Qi did not dare to say anything because of the presence of the Emperor.

"Why would she scold you for nothing? Could it really be because of a piece of clothing?"

The emperor continued to walk forward, turning the rosary in his hand. Seeing this, An Lingrong knew that the emperor was already getting a little impatient.

"Empress Duan wants me to dress more modestly, but I don't like that. I like to dress more beautifully..." Concubine Qi pouted, with a look of grievance on her face.

"It's probably because Concubine Duan is no longer at the age where she likes bright colors. Noble Lady Qi is still young, so it's normal for her not to like it. If she mentions it again next time, you can talk to her nicely. Concubine Duan has a gentle personality and will definitely not embarrass you next time..." An Lingrong smiled and comforted, and the emperor nodded in agreement.

After hearing this, Concubine Qi glared at An Lingrong. She wanted to resist, but Concubine Duan would only scold her more fiercely every time...

"The Concubine Chen is right. It's just a small matter. There's no need to get angry about it. It's time for you to grow up and stop acting like a child." The emperor said as he continued walking forward. When he reached Qianqiu Pavilion, he went in and sat down.

"Empress Chen, Concubine Wan is about to give birth, and Concubine Duan has not been feeling well recently. I saw her in Suiyuxuan today and she didn't look very well.

I remember that you knew her before you entered the palace. If you have time that day, you can give her some advice. It is not good for the baby in her belly to worry all the time."

The emperor frowned slightly and spoke with a worried look on his face.

"Your Majesty, rest assured that Concubine Wan and the child will be fine."

An Lingrong knew that this dog emperor must have seen Zhen Huan today, and she thought of Chun Yuan who died during childbirth, so she spoke.

"Well, I believe in what you say the most. What you say is always true."

As the emperor spoke, he held An Lingrong's hand. Concubine Qi's face was almost distorted with anger, and she cursed in her heart: Vixen!

"Your Majesty, I have stewed some purple ginseng and old duck soup. Would you like to try it?" Concubine Qi wanted to pull the emperor away from An Lingrong, so she spoke.

The emperor was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and looked at Concubine Qi with a dark and unclear look.

Seeing that the emperor was stunned for a moment, Concubine Qi didn't understand what was going on. She looked at the emperor with a pair of innocent big eyes, just waiting for him to answer her.

"Go back to the palace and eat by yourself!..." After a few breaths, the emperor spoke with a slightly angry tone, and Concubine Qi was stunned.

She just wanted to ask, what did I say wrong again?!

After the emperor finished speaking, he stood up, and An Lingrong also stood up and walked behind the emperor.

"Your Majesty." Concubine Qi shouted, stood up and wanted to chase him, her tone full of grievance.

"You, don't have to follow." The emperor waved his hand and walked forward. An Lingrong raised her eyebrows slightly. Concubine Qi was also lucky. If she had not missed the selection that year, the first person to die would not be Xia Dongchun, but her. She was really stupid...

Just after breakfast that day, Xiao Xiazi came to Chengqian Palace to find An Lingrong, saying that the emperor was angry at the morning court today.

An Lingrong agreed, packed up briefly and got on the sedan chair. When she got off the sedan chair, Su Peisheng came to meet her.

"Long live the Queen." Su Peisheng bowed. An Lingrong raised her hand and Su Peisheng led her inside.

"What is the emperor angry about?" An Lingrong asked softly as they walked.

"At the morning court today, Lady Wanpin's father, Lord Zhen Yuandao, was dismissed from his post and imprisoned because of Qian Mingshi's incident. His family was also confined in the palace...

To put it bluntly, this matter was actually nothing. It was just an investigation of an official, but the emperor was furious about it.

Now, seeing that all the servants have been driven out and no one is allowed to serve, I am afraid that the emperor will get sick from anger, so I troubled you to come back..."

Su Peisheng bowed and frowned, then spoke with an apologetic look on his face.

"I'll go in and take a look." An Lingrong sighed lightly and walked into the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

"Your Majesty." An Lingrong had already walked in before she spoke. When she entered, she saw the emperor sitting on the Luohan bed and writing.

An Lingrong approached and saw the table was already covered with papers with various "忍" characters written on them. She felt calm but concerned.

"What is your Majesty doing?" An Lingrong said as she stepped forward and held the hand holding the pen. The emperor looked up and saw An Lingrong looking at him with a distressed expression...

"Rong'er! I am the emperor! Why does he disobey me?! I wish I could kill him right now! But I'm afraid they will say that I am tyrannical!..." The emperor spoke as if he had suffered a great injustice, with tears in his eyes.

An Lingrong knew his personality. He was suspicious and conceited. He was ruthless, but he would not tolerate anyone questioning him, let alone disobeying him. Now, she must be really angry...

"Is the emperor worried that Concubine Wan will be bad for the unborn baby after she finds out, so he feels bad about it?" An Lingrong thought for a moment and felt that what the emperor needed most now was a way out.

Before this, the emperor had ordered all officials to write poems to insult Qian Mingshi, and two people had been punished for this.

There have been examples of punishment before, but Zhen Yuandao still relied on his status as a censor and refused to yield even if it meant death, imprisonment, or exile. He really had a "guts"...

Who is he trying to show his unyielding spirit to? ! For the people? But is this kind of thing important to the people? !

It doesn't matter at all! He is clearly going against the emperor!

An Lingrong knew that since ancient times, censors had been willing to die for giving advice, but if it was for the people, for all life, even if it was just to get a few grains of rice for the people, then it would be worth it.

But if he risked his entire family's lives just to make the emperor bow his head, An Lingrong would think he was stupid!

The emperor is the Son of Heaven! Even if he was really wrong, he couldn't be so disobedient. Under the imperial power, how could he be allowed to have an opinion? ...

What's more, doesn't the emperor have any dignity? It seems that no one in the Zhen family understands this...
