An Lingrong is reborn, the reorganized team is killing like crazy

An Lingrong looked down at Concubine Duan, stretched out her hand to lift her chin, and said slowly: "Don't worry, the next one is you."

Noble Lady Duan raised her eyes to look at An Lingrong, her eyes were flustered for a moment, then she calmed down and said, "Noble Concubine Chen, aren't you afraid that this will get to the ears of the Emperor?"

"Really? Then you'd better do it as soon as possible." An Lingrong straightened up and turned away without looking at her again.

Lady Duan looked at An Lingrong's back as she left, and opened her mouth, but said nothing...

As the weather grew warmer, Zhen Huan's belly grew visibly bigger. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor took everyone to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat.

In early June, good news came from the southwest. Feng Chi led his troops to seize a large number of seals of local officials and chieftains, as well as a large amount of weapons of the Yunnan-Tibet private soldiers.

Together with Sengge, the minister stationed in Tibet, he promoted the policy of "transforming the natives into officials". The two of them, one a military man and one a civil official, temporarily pacified the southwest. When Feng Chi returned to Beijing, the emperor held a banquet to welcome him at Jiuzhou Qingyan.

Towards evening, An Lingrong and Fu Cha came out to enjoy the cool air and happened to meet Concubine Li who was sitting by the lotus pond.

"Long live the Imperial Concubine Chen, and long live the Imperial Concubine Rui." When Concubine Li saw that it was An Lingrong and Fu Cha, she hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"No need to be polite. Why is Concubine Li enjoying the cool air here alone?" An Lingrong said as she sat down with Fu Cha and motioned for Concubine Li to sit down as well.

"It's wonderful to watch the sunset here. The weather is very good today, so I thought of coming here to watch the sunset." Concubine Li spoke. Although her expression was still indifferent, her tone was much gentler than before.

"Really? Then let's watch the sunset here together." Fu Cha spoke, and a palace maid brought over tea.

"How is Longyue these days?" An Lingrong asked Concubine Li with a faint smile on her face.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Without those villains causing trouble, Longyue and I have become closer." Concubine Li spoke, finally with a smile on her face.

"You raised her, so she is naturally the closest to you. If you have anything to say in the future, just tell me. If you feel bored, you can bring Longyue to play with Wangshu."

After Fu Cha finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, and Concubine Li nodded tactfully.

An awkward silence followed, with An Lingrong and Fu Cha silently regretting why they had said "Let's watch the sunset together..."

"What are you looking at? You look so absorbed in it." Fu Cha noticed that Concubine Li was frequently looking at the fork in the road ahead, so he asked.

"Is the emperor going to hold a banquet today? I have seen several waves of people passing by." Concubine Li came back to her senses and answered, pointing at a group of dancers who had already passed by.

"I know this. The emperor is going to host a banquet in Jiuzhou Qingyan to entertain General Feng today. I heard that the emperor wants to grant a marriage between General Feng and the granddaughter of Lord Chu."

An Lingrong and Fu Cha looked ahead. Fu Cha looked as if he understood everything, and when he spoke the rest of the story, he even lowered his voice intentionally.

"General Feng has pacified the southwest, and the emperor has held a banquet, but I don't know if the emperor is going to grant her a marriage. How about the granddaughter of Lord Chu?"

An Lingrong looked at Fu Cha with curiosity on her face, and unexpectedly, Concubine Li's cold face also showed curiosity.

"The granddaughter of Lord Chu is called Chu Mingyan. It is said that after meeting General Feng a few years ago, she has been reluctant to get married. It was not until last year, when her family repeatedly pressed her, that she said she was interested in General Feng.

Bu Chu went to the palace to ask the emperor, General Feng will return to Beijing soon, and the emperor will definitely grant the marriage to the two. "Fu Cha lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously.

"Where did you get the information? Is it reliable?" An Lingrong joked with a smile, fanning herself with a look of disbelief.

"Of course it's true. My father and Miss Chu's father were classmates. He told my father himself." Fu Cha looked serious, and An Lingrong curled her lips.

"I don't believe Lord Fucha would be the same as you..." Due to the servants around her, An Lingrong did not say the word "gossip", but Fucha understood it immediately.

"Oh, you don't know, my father is even more...well..." Fu Cha said, raising his eyebrows towards An Lingrong, meaning that if I understand, you understand too...

"Didn't the Emperor even ask General Feng's opinion? He just granted the marriage..." The two of them understood each other, but Concubine Li might not understand, so she looked at Fu Cha and asked.

"Of course I have to ask, but I think General Feng will agree. Although I have never met Miss Chu, Miss Chu's talent is among the best in Beijing." Fu Cha said with a smile, his face full of confidence.

"Yes, since she is the granddaughter of Lord Chu, she must be good. Although General Feng is a military commander, he looks more like a civil official. It is credible that the noble lady in the capital fell in love with him at first sight."

After listening to this, An Lingrong nodded, confirming the truth of Fu Cha's gossip.

"Lady Li, what are you looking at?" Fu Cha saw Lady Li looking in the direction the dancer left, raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes and asked.

"Nothing, I just thought that Miss Chu must be both talented and beautiful, and she is worthy of General Feng." Concubine Li came back to her senses, straightened her body, and spoke.

"Of course. General Feng is now a favorite of the emperor. If the emperor is willing to grant the marriage, it must mean that he thinks the two of them are a perfect match." Fu Cha said with a smile. The three of them drank tea and there was another period of awkward silence.

Fortunately, after a few breaths, the three of them saw someone coming from the front. When the person got closer, they could see clearly that it was Feng Chi and two guards walking towards them.

"Long live the Imperial Concubine Chen, and long live the Imperial Concubine Rui and Noble Lady Li." Feng Chi walked closer and bowed to the three of them.

"General Feng, please don't be so polite." An Lingrong said with a smile, and Feng Chi stood up.

"Congratulations to General Feng for pacifying the situation in the southwest. The emperor has been in a very happy mood these days because of this." An Lingrong continued and looked at Feng Chi.

Feng Chi had lost a lot of weight and his complexion was darker, but he still looked much fairer than the guards behind him. Compared with the military generals, he really looked more like a civil official.

"Thank you, Her Majesty Concubine Chen. How have you been lately?" Feng Chi spoke, his tone full of the majesty that only a military general could have.

"It is naturally a great honor for the emperor and me to have soldiers like General Feng defending our country." An Lingrong did not expect Feng Chi to ask this. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said.

"As long as your Majesty is well, it's good. The Emperor has summoned me, so I will take my leave now."

Feng Chi nodded and bowed to An Lingrong. When he looked up, their eyes met for a moment. An Lingrong was startled. That look...

She actually felt the burning longing in his eyes...

When An Lingrong came back to her senses, Feng Chi had already turned around and walked towards the fork in the road. An Lingrong sat down in a panic, picked up the teacup beside her, drank it all in one gulp, and forced herself to calm down. She must have seen it wrong just now...
