Rebirth · Mausoleum

The carriage that rolled steadily on the flat official road was completely different from the carriage that entered the palace for the draft, and it was also different from An Lingrong's small carriage that entered the Old Summer Palace that day.An Lingrong lifted up the curtain quietly, and the figures of the palace guards were closely guarding the carriages, the rough scenery revealed in the cracks, the dust from the horseshoes mixed together and threw it to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong put down the curtain without looking at it for a few moments. If she was still in An's house in the past, she would definitely not dislike it. It can be seen why so many people hold on to it tightly after enjoying wealth and never want to let go.

The journey to Yuanmingyuan was not very far, An Lingrong got out of the carriage with Bao Juan's support, Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan who got out of the carriage first saw her also got off the carriage, and then the three of them took each other into Yuanmingyuan and packed their things first. The three get together again.

"It's cool here, even if there are fewer ice cubes, it doesn't feel hot." An Lingrong carefully looked at the layout of the palace, and was attracted by the blue-patterned enamel lotus incense burner in the center, and touched it with his hand.

"I don't know, my lord. This Zuiyun Pavilion is on the second floor. It's cooler off the ground. It doesn't matter if there's less ice." The sharp-eyed servant who recommended An Chang put his hand on the censer and immediately complimented, "This censer is the emperor's censer. Said that the little master is good at mixing incense and specially put it on for you, this blue-patterned enamel lotus incense burner burns incense quietly, even if it burns incense in summer, it will not be stuffy."

"The emperor really has a heart." An Lingrong smiled softly, "Bao Juan."

Baojuan handed the father-in-law a kit.

The recommending father-in-law opened his eyes and smiled, "My lord, you are welcome to settle down. If there is anything you need, just ask the servants, and the servants will leave first."

"My lord, you are honored and favored now, are you going to pay your respects to the emperor later?" Bao Juan asked.

"Naturally." An Lingrong nodded.

Baojuan helped An Lingrong to Qinzheng Hall, only to see Su Peisheng guarding the door.

"Eunuch Su, can you tell me that I'm here to greet the emperor?" An Lingrong asked politely.

"Master An is auspicious, but Master Cao and nobleman Guan sat inside and talked for a long time." Su Peisheng wondered.

An Lingrong savored this sentence carefully, but he didn't feel unhappy at all, "Then father-in-law let me know, Lingrong is leaving first."

"Okay." Seeing that An Chang was interested, Su Peisheng agreed wholeheartedly.

"Isn't this Sister An?" Cao Guiren came out of Qinzheng Hall.

"Your Majesty Cao, Wan An."

"Sister An, don't need to be too polite." Cao Guiren helped An Lingrong up, "Sister Wan is still talking with the emperor inside, why don't the two of us go back by the way."

"it is good."

An Lingrong thought it was Zhen Huan who had a good chat with the emperor, Cao Qin knew the interest and withdrew, and the two only chatted on the way back.

"Huh? It seems that there are two young children playing?" An Lingrong saw two young children on the slope across the lake.

"Yes, those are the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother." Cao Guiren recognized it.

"Fourth elder brother and fifth elder brother? It seems that they have never been mentioned by the palace people that they are raised in the Old Summer Palace." An Lingrong said in surprise. Now that she is not the Concubine Li who knows the secrets of the harem, she naturally asks carefully and curiously about everything.

"The fifth elder brother's biological mother is Concubine Yu. After giving birth to the fifth elder brother, concubine Yu moved out of the palace and lived in the Yuanmingyuan to pray for the fifth elder brother. Occasionally, concubine Yu would be summoned by the queen mother to return to the palace to discuss Buddha's wishes with the queen mother. This time, Concubine Yu happened to go back to the palace and came back together along the Yuanmingyuan to escape the summer heat." Cao Guiren explained the fifth elder brother in detail.

"What about the fourth elder brother?" An Lingrong asked again.

"Sister An, you know that since the fifth elder brother and the fourth elder brother became close, the emperor's affection for Concubine Yu has almost become indifferent." Cao Guiren did not speak directly about the fourth elder brother, but only whispered Old things.

"My sister understands, thank you for your reminder." An Lingrong wanted to salute again to show his gratitude.

"My sister really doesn't need to be too polite. My sister also has a doubt and I want to ask my sister to answer it." Cao Guiren said in a friendly manner.

"Sister Cao, please tell me."

"I don't know if sister Guan can dance?" Cao Guiren asked directly without making any detours.

"My younger sister has never seen Sister Guan dance." An Lingrong said truthfully, seeing Cao Guiren frowning, he continued, "I just saw that Sister Guan is slender and has light limbs, so she should know a little bit."

"My sister knows." Cao Guiren nodded.

"Sister Cao, my younger sister is not good at singing. It's a good thing to combine singing and dancing, but my younger sister's throat is a little itchy recently, I'm afraid it's not good." An Lingrong said worriedly.

"Sister An, please take a good look at the imperial physician. The imperial physician Jiang has something to do at home recently. I heard that the new imperial physician is good at medicine." Cao Qinmo's eyes flickered, and he patted An Lingrong's hand to comfort him.

"Thank you, Sister Cao, for your concern."

"Sister Wan is also at Sister Mei's place." An Lingrong stepped across the threshold.

"Ling Rong, you are here." Shen Meizhuang ordered happily, "Caiyue, bring me another bowl of sour plum soup."

An Lingrong sat next to Zhen Huan at the Eight Treasures Round Table, "Hey, I didn't even drink Sister Wan's sour plum soup."

"Huan'er doesn't like sour food, hey, why don't you let me eat this bowl." Shen Meizhuang reached out to get the soup.

"Master, you have been drinking for four or five nights before going to bed, seriously hurting your stomach." Caiyue stopped her little master.

Shen Meizhuang smiled embarrassedly, seeing An Lingrong's bowl brought over, he quickly recommended it, "Try it quickly, I didn't say it, this sour plum soup is really delicious."

An Lingrong took a sip and praised, "This taste is even better than those made by the imperial kitchen."

"Yes, I think so too. It's a pity that Huan'er doesn't like sour ones."

"That's Fuling's sour plum soup is really good." Caiyue said.

"Fu Ling?" Zhen Huan asked.

"It's the little maid sent by the palace to serve the little master."

"It just so happens that I'm also a sour eater, why don't I ask sister Mei's Poria for this sour plum soup recipe, sister Mei, don't be reluctant." An Lingrong said with a smile.

"It's all my sisters, you're welcome, Caiyue."

"Then thank you sister, Yu'er, follow Caiyue to get the prescription."

The three of them talked about Wen Yi's first birthday banquet next month, and then about the matter of their heirs, and Mei Zhuang took out a prescription.

"This is the prescription that I begged from Imperial Physician Jiang, both soft and hard." Shen Meizhuang spread out the prescription and handed it to Zhen Huan and An Lingrong, "He said that if you follow the prescription, you will definitely get a boy. You should follow the prescription too."

"Which other doctor Jiang could be? Isn't it the Jiangcheng who takes care of me and Lingrong on weekdays, and is the best at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology?" Shen Meizhuang said.

"If you don't say it, I'll remember it. It seems that the imperial physician who took care of Mr. Cao was also surnamed Jiang." Zhen Huan said.

"Yes, don't worry, I have found out that although they are a family, they are of the same father and mother, and fire and water are incompatible." Shen Meizhuang affirmed.

"Prince Jiang's medical skills are good, but this prescription involves a major event." An Lingrong said.

Zhen Huan also nodded.

"I know you are worried about me. I have read many medical books before deciding to use this prescription." Shen Meizhuang was confident.

"I always think it's not right. I'll use it after I ask Imperial Physician Wen." Zhen Huan returned the prescription to Shen Meizhuang, "Liu Zhu, go to the Imperial Hospital to see if Imperial Physician Wen is there. If he is, please come here immediately." .”

"My little master doesn't know, Mr. Hu Guogong's grandson is seriously ill, and Mr. Wen went to see a doctor. He said that all the food and lodging will be in Huguogong's mansion. Mr. Wen will not come back until Mr. Sun's grandpa recovers from his illness." Liu Zhu replied.

"When did he go?" Zhen Huan was slightly puzzled.

"Just yesterday afternoon, Grandpa Sun fell ill suddenly, so Master Wen left in a hurry."

"It's such an unfortunate coincidence." Zhen Huan frowned, she always felt that there was something wrong with this prescription, and she was panicked.

"Yu'er next to me knows a little bit about medicine. Last time Miao Qing was seriously ill, she was the one who managed to save her. Why don't you write me a copy of this prescription, and I'll let Yu'er think about it carefully when I go back." An Lingrong road.

"Alright." Zhen Huan said.

Shen Meizhuang wanted to say something else, but seeing the seriousness on Zhen Huan's and An Lingrong's faces, he swallowed the words back.

On this day, An Lingrong and Meizhuang wandered around the Old Summer Palace again, and Zhen Huan was called to Qinzheng Hall again.

"Sister Mei, Yu'er thought about the prescription a few days ago and said that the prescription is not harmful. It's just that Yu'er said that he didn't know if it would be compatible with other medicines." An Lingrong slapped his fan lightly.

"You and Huan'er are just too concerned. I have already asked my new Imperial Physician Liu Huan Liu, who has replaced Imperial Physician Jiang, whether the prescription is good or not." Shen Meizhuang said indifferently.

"Liu Huan Liu Imperial Physician?" An Lingrong asked.

"It's a new imperial physician in the palace, he is actually from my hometown, so I can be regarded as a reliable imperial physician." Liu Duan, Shen Meizhuang, was very happy to have this fellow villager, and even looked a little happy.

"Is your medical skill okay?" An Lingrong coughed lightly.

"It's not bad. Look at the pimples on my face. Doctor Liu prescribed a prescription and they disappeared within two days. Did you cough just now? Is your throat okay?" Shen Meizhuang pointed to the pimples on his face, He asked Ling Rong another question.

"I don't have anything to do if Imperial Physician Jiang isn't here, but Imperial Physician Jiang is out of the palace, my throat tends to get more and more uncomfortable." An Lingrong smiled.

"Then I'll ask Imperial Physician Liu to come over and show my sister, the throat is a big deal, we have to be careful."

An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang smiled knowingly.

The two of them wandered through the lively places in the Old Summer Palace a few days ago, and today they went to a secluded place.

"...The source is not deep but the stream is far away, the root is not solid but the tree is long, the virtue is not strong but the country is safe..."

"Hey, there seems to be a child reciting the book." Shen Meizhuang was surprised.

The two moved forward, and sure enough, a boy was reciting a book at the source of the bubbling stream, and the words were loud and clear, while another boy was slightly younger, squatting boredly on the big rock and looking at the older boy. It was the fourth and fifth elder brothers that An Lingrong saw that day.

"It's really rare that this child can memorize "Remonstrance Taizong Shi Sishu" so smoothly at such a young age." Now Shen Meizhuang was even more surprised to see that it was only such a young boy who had endorsed it.

An Lingrong didn't understand poetry, but from Shen Meizhuang's astonishing compliment, he probably understood that it must be difficult to memorize the articles.

The fifth elder brother was already impatient, and when he saw two strangers in bright clothes approaching, his eyes lit up immediately.

"The two ladies are auspicious." Although the fifth elder brother was lively, he bowed respectfully, and the fourth elder brother who endorsed the letter heard the voice of the emperor's younger brother, and hurried over to bow.

An Lingrong chuckled when he saw this man's humble appearance, "Are you the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother?"

"How does this lady know?" The fifth elder brother looked at An Lingrong roundly.

An Lingrong thought of teasing the children, "How did the fifth elder brother know that we belong to the mother, that's how I know you are the fourth and fifth elder brothers."

Shen Meizhuang pulled the corner of La Lingrong's clothes, and there was a smile in his eyes, but there was a little more worry between his brows.

An Lingrong felt puzzled and looked at Shen Meizhuang, just as Meizhuang was about to speak, Fifth Prince's childish words came to their ears again,

"Then this empress must be as smart as me."

Anling Rong hadn't heard such a childlike and funny words for a long time, and now he laughed so much that the corners of his eyes wrinkled a little, and Mei Zhuang also forgot to worry for a moment.

"Good brother, you are really cute." An Lingrong knelt down and gently touched the fifth elder brother's head, fearing that the fourth elder brother beside him said coldly, "I just heard the fourth elder brother recite the book, and the recitation is really neat , presumably the fourth elder brother must be very studious."

"Your Majesty is overrated." The fourth elder brother only replied lightly, as if it should be so.

"Oh, my good elder brother, your mother-in-law is looking for you." A nun hurriedly walked up to the fifth elder brother, and saw Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong, two favored concubines, rushing to pay their respects.

"I met Mr. Shen Gui, An Chang is here, Mr. Shen Gui, An Chang is in Wan'an."

"Since we are looking for Fifth Elder Brother, let's quickly take Fifth Elder Brother away." Shen Meizhuang said.

"Yes." The nun hurriedly took the fifth elder brother away after hearing Guiren Shen's words, and the fifth elder brother could only bid farewell to the fourth elder brother hastily.

Seeing the two of them walking away, Shen Meizhuang said to the fourth elder brother, "The two of us will leave without disturbing the fourth elder brother to endorse."

Seeing that Shen Guiren's expression was as indifferent as those of the concubines he had seen before, the fourth elder brother glanced at An Changzai, but An Lingrong smiled at him and said, "Yes, fourth elder brother is so diligent in studying, my colleague My sister left first."

The fourth elder brother was silent, bowed respectfully and said, "Mrs. Shen, Mistress An, go slowly."

Shen Meizhuang nodded and pulled An Lingrong away.

"Sister Mei, you seem to be a little worried when you see the two princes?" An Lingrong asked puzzled.

"Lingrong, you don't know that the fourth elder brother was rejected by the emperor because his biological mother was an ugly and lowly maidservant who was obtained by the emperor after he was drunk. The fifth elder brother is also influenced by him now that he has come close." Shen Meizhuang held An Ling Rong's hand tightened.

"I think it's kind of pitiful for him to be alone." An Lingrong sighed, what she learned from Cao Qinmo naturally couldn't be revealed in front of Meizhuang.

"Don't be confused, although we shouldn't find out what the emperor likes, but we must understand what we dislike." Shen Meizhuang raised his eyes solemnly.

"Yes. I think that although the fifth elder brother is not as good at studying as the fourth elder brother, his innocent appearance is rare in the palace." An Lingrong's heart brightened inexplicably when he thought of the fifth elder brother.

"Yes, although not as clever as the fourth elder brother, this temperament is good. It is also a blessing for Concubine Yu to raise such a child in this deep palace..." Shen Meizhuang felt very sad, "I don't know when we will And have kids."

An Lingrong struggled for a moment, but finally became cruel, and said softly, "Sister, don't worry, with my sister's favor, there will be one soon."

The author has something to say:

Sister Meizhuang will have a fake pregnancy in the next chapter, alas
