Rebirth · Mausoleum

"Your voice is still not good? I remember it has been some time." Yongzheng said.

"Back to the emperor, Imperial Physician Liu said that the concubine is weak, so she will recover slowly." An Lingrong tried to lower her posture as much as possible. At this time, the emperor's praise was like a thorn in her back, and she missed the emperor's sympathy when he looked at her. And the Queen's eyes were more serious.

"Well, the seventeenth brother is late! You will be punished with three glasses of wine!" Yongzheng raised his glass high and said to the king of Guojun.

"It's my brother, isn't it? My brother, let's do it first as a respect!" King Guo stood up and happily raised his wine glass and drank three cups before sitting down.

Concubine Hua suddenly loses her composure while drinking, which attracts the attention of the emperor and empress. With a poem from Lou Dong and Prince Dun's verbal help, Yongzheng expresses pity and promises to see Concubine Hua at night.

When everyone saw that Concubine Hua won the favor again, the rest of the banquet was just a formality.

"It was really dangerous when I played the music just now, but fortunately Ling Rong reacted quickly." Mei Zhuang walked back to his place with Zhen Huan and An Ling Rong before he frowned, "If the strings of the piano were broken in public, the consequences would be disastrous."

An Lingrong nodded, "Fortunately, I found out that Sister Wan's dance was not delayed, but I don't know why the Yueqin suddenly behaved like this. Could it be that I played too fast and the strings couldn't bear it?"

"Probably not, there is definitely something strange about this matter." Mei Zhuang spoke a little coldly, "Maybe some people did it."

"What happened to the strings?" Zhen Huan was puzzled.

"You don't know, Ling Rong originally played well, but the strings are about to collapse suddenly. Otherwise, your dance will be better!" Mei Zhuang said angrily, "Speaking of who is the one who dislikes us the most, Not that one!"

"Sister, don't be angry, I didn't make a mistake in dancing. Right now, my sister's pregnancy is the most important thing." Zhen Huan comforted her.

"We wereted so much on trying to bring her down, how can I not be angry now that she has returned to favor so easily! Besides, the child in my belly is only a month old, so I can't keep it..."

"Sister, you can't say that. With the three of us here, there will be no accidents for this child." An Lingrong interrupted Shen Meizhuang.

"My lord is auspicious, the emperor got a few good poems and would like to invite the nobles from Guan to enjoy them." Xiao Xiazi said hello.

"Then you go." Mei Zhuang said.

Zhen Huan followed Xiao Xiazi to the Hall of Qinzheng, and An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang chatted for a while.

"After today, I'm afraid Concubine Hua will make a comeback."

Jian Qiu stepped forward to squeeze the Queen's shoulders.

"No matter what Concubine Hua is, the empress is still the queen." Jian Qiu said, "However, the emperor still summoned nobleman Guan in the afternoon."

"The nobleman from Guan is the new favorite, and Concubine Hua is the old love. It is inevitable that there will be some discord between the old and new lovers. I just want to see that there is no chaos." The queen reached her temple, and Jian Qiugai rubbed her shoulders and gently pinched the queen's temple. "But looking at it today, An Changzai is more discreet than nobleman Guan."

"She just plays the Yueqin better."

"Your Majesty Guan played the tune after finishing her sister's old dance. If it wasn't for her, I am afraid that Noble Man Wan would not be able to dance a new dance and return to Prince Dun's 'beauty is beauty, nothing new' to preserve the face of the emperor. I should look up to her because of her ability." The queen closed her eyes, "It's a pity that although the Yueqin is good this time, it can't compare to Concubine Yu."

Regardless of whether the women in the harem are willing or not, from this day on Concubine Hua's favor is as strong as before.

A few days later, An Lingrong's voice recovered, and he brought the newly copied Buddhist scriptures to the Chaohua Hall again. This time, there were already people in the hall piously chanting scriptures on the futons, and the servant girl was waiting in the corner of the hall.

"Since we're here, let's go together. Naturally, you don't need to pay too much attention to etiquette in front of the Buddha."

An Lingrong took a hesitant step into the hall, walked to another empty futon and saluted Concubine Yu who was still reciting sutras and didn't even open her eyes, "Thank you Concubine Yu."

After all, without hypocrisy, he knelt on the empty futon and recited silently.

An hour and a half passed quickly, An Lingrong opened his eyes, and Bao Juan, who was at the side, quickly walked to her side to help her up.

"An Chang still has a Buddha in his heart." Concubine Yu got up with the help of her maid.

"Being more sincere, concubines are naturally no better than concubines Yu." An Lingrong said.

"A few days ago, I heard Shuang Yinyue's voice from the Kyushu Qing Banquet. I wonder which newcomer is playing it?" Concubine Yu bowed to the Buddha statue.

"It's the concubine."

"The piano skills are good, but the two strings of my Frost Yinyue may not be able to withstand that speed."

"Thank you for reminding me, the concubine did not make a mistake."

"I'm afraid my sister will know it when she gets the Yueqin." Concubine Yu looked at An Lingrong after three worships.

An Lingrong was not afraid at all, and admitted frankly, "Yes."

Concubine Yu smiled, "That's right. Do you know that playing the piano is one of technique, and so is emotion?"

"My younger sister is still young, and she doesn't understand any emotions."

Concubine Yu showed surprise on her face, and An Lingrong obviously understood, she didn't expect that the little girl who had just entered the palace was not troubled by the love between men and women, she laughed softly, "You are much smarter than me, if I had How nice it is to be like you."

"Mother!"

The four people in the hall saw a small group running to Concubine Yu, stopped in front of her, and then lightly stepped on Concubine Yu's waist, "Emiang is indeed here."

"Fifth elder brother Wanan." An Ling bowed.

"Hello, Madam An." Hong Zhou blinked, "Huang Ama is here too!"

The bright yellow figure appeared at the door, and everyone bowed their heads in salute, "May the emperor be safe and secure."

"You don't need to be too polite." Yongzheng only brought Su Peisheng behind him, "I met Hongzhou and wanted to visit you. I didn't expect Rong'er to be here too."

"An Changzai often comes here to pay homage to the Buddha, and we get to know each other once or twice." Even when facing the emperor, Concubine Yu, he still had that indifferent look.

"Yes, my concubine often copies Buddhist scriptures, and I brought them with me today." An Lingrong picked up the bamboo basket on the ground, "My concubine's handwriting is not good, the emperor laughed at me."

Yongzheng looked at the Buddhist scriptures in the basket and said, "Rong'er's handwriting is indeed not good." Seeing the face of the person in front of him darken, he raised a smile, "I will teach you another day."

An Lingrong suddenly raised his head, looking at the emperor with moist almond eyes, "Really?"

"Naturally." Yongzheng's heart softened quickly.

An Lingrong raised a shallow smile, "The emperor always promises, and the concubine will remember it in his heart."

"As long as there is a Buddha in your heart, how can the Buddha dislike the ugliness and beauty of the characters?" Concubine Yu said lightly.

"Although the Buddha said that all living beings are equal, it would be better if the concubine could practice her calligraphy and present it to the Buddha."

Concubine Yu didn't refute and looked at Hong Zhou, "Are you hungry after wandering around?"

Hong Zhou looked at Huang Ama, at his own mother-in-law and then at Madam An, and nodded obediently.

An Lingrong did not forget that the emperor's original intention of coming here was to see Concubine Yu, and continued, "Why don't concubines take Fifth Elder Brother to have some snacks, it just so happens that some afternoon snacks should be brought over at this time."

"Alright." Yongzheng nodded.

"Go." Yu Pin said to Hong Zhou.

After An Lingrong led Hong Zhou out of the Chaohua Hall, Su Peisheng and Concubine Yu's personal maid, Zizhu, also retreated. The hall was suddenly deserted, and there was a long silence.

"I haven't seen you for a long time... are you... how are you doing?" Yongzheng looked at the beautiful woman he hadn't seen for a long time and asked this sentence.

"There is no difference between good and bad." Concubine Yu lowered her eyes and did not look directly at the man in front of her.

"A few days ago, I heard Rong... An Chang playing the Shuang Yinyue reminds me of you back then."

"The concubine only wants to spend the rest of her life safely."

"You're still blaming me." Yongzheng sighed.

Concubine Yu didn't answer.

"I have already punished the noble Fang who killed you and Hong Zhou for you."

"Your Fang?" Concubine Yu raised her head and smiled at the emperor. This smile was truly overwhelming, even though Yongzheng's eyes were still so cold, he was stunned, "The nobleman of Suiyuxuan? A powerful nobleman, does the emperor really think that she can harm our mother and son? Does the emperor not understand?"

"Hong Zhou, what do you like to eat?" An Lingrong led Hong Zhou back to Zuiyun Pavilion.

"Can you mention anything?" Hong Zhou asked with his small round eyes open.

"Of course." An Lingrong smiled.

"Meat!" Hongzhou felt that his words were a little loud, "Madam An, can you not tell Erniang that she sincerely worships the Buddha and never eats meat, so it's not too late as a son, but..."

Seeing that Hongzhou's voice was getting softer, An Lingrong gently patted his head, "Don't worry, I won't tell Concubine Yu." Chao Yu'er ordered, "Bring some meat-filled snacks and count them. Less, more flavor."

"Thank you, Empress An!" Hong Zhou gave An Lingrong a bright smile, An Lingrong felt that her heart was going to melt, she was tired of living in the palace, it was really her luck to meet Hong Zhou.

Hongzhou stayed in Zuiyun Pavilion for more than half an hour, An Lingrong thought that the emperor and concubine Yu had almost finished talking, so he asked Yu'er to bring Hongzhou, who was half full, back to Chaohua Palace.

The emperor had already left, and Concubine Yu asked Yu'er to thank An Chang for taking care of Hongzhou, and took Hongzhou back to Yilanxuan where they lived.

"How is An Chang waiting for you?" Concubine Yu patted the child's head.

"Miss An treated her son very well, and gave him a lot of food." Hongzhou recalled that Niang An often liked to touch his head.

"Where does An often live?"

"Zuiyun Pavilion, it's very fragrant inside but not hot at all." Hong Zhou looked up at Er Niang, "Although she is not as beautiful as Er Niang, she is really as gentle as Er Niang, unlike other empresses who just look gentle .”

"Really?" Concubine Yu's expression softened a bit. Zuiyun Pavilion is a good place. The emperor seems to like An Changzai very much today. The important thing is that she seems to treat Hong Zhou really well, "Your emperor Ama and the others rarely come to the Old Summer Palace, if you like this Empress An, it’s okay to play with her, as for your Huang Ama, who has a lot of political affairs, don’t bother him.”

"My son knows."

"My lord, congratulations, my lord!" Yu'er happily ran to An Lingrong.

"It must be a big thing to make Yu'er lose his composure." An Lingrong put down the bellyband that was embroidered for Meizhuang's child and raised his eyebrows.

"Isn't it, my lord, Jiang Wenqing, the magistrate of Songyang County, was ordered to escort the army rations in the Northwest to the enemy soldiers on the way, and some of the rations were robbed. What's wrong?"

An Lingrong was shocked, and tightly wrinkled the hand holding the bellyband so as not to lose his composure, "Songyang? Is it related to my father?"

"Yes, my lord! My lord's father suggested that Jiang Wenqing could not prevent the enemy from fleeing, so he arranged himself to be stronger with the army. Your father protected part of the army rations and arrested Jiang Wenqing himself after the emperor issued an order. Now the emperor is gone. Changed Jiang Wenqing's post, Jiang Wenqing has already been sent to prison, let your father replace Jiang Wenqing as Songyang county magistrate!"

Baojuan on the side immediately congratulated the young master one by one after listening. Although An Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt as if she was in the clouds. Although she asked Aunt Xiao to give her father a letter before entering the palace, but An Bihuai still had a few catties and a tael. Clearly, how can there be such a great ability?

"But it's true?" An Lingrong couldn't believe it.

"Such great news, this servant will never get it wrong!" Yu'er beamed with joy.

"That's right, Yu'er heard right about this day's big happy event. Lingrong, I heard about Jiang Wenqing, so I came here to congratulate you." Shen Meizhuang was supported by Caiyue into the hall.

"Sister Mei, why are you here, sit down quickly." An Lingrong poured a cup of tea for Shen Meizhuang himself, "Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true. This matter happened in the Jeju world. My father is the co-leader of Jeju. He praised your father." Shen Meizhuang patted An Lingrong's hand, "Now the northwest is not peaceful, your Good luck is coming."

An Lingrong shook his head, "The northwest is not peaceful, she is the most important thing, I am nothing."

Mei Zhuang wanted to say something else, Xiao Xia came to An Lingrong, "My lord is auspicious, the emperor wants to summon An Xiaozhu."

"Go quickly." Shen Meizhuang smiled.

In her previous life, An Bihuai did nothing on this matter and was even implicated in being imprisoned. She went to beg Shen Meizhuang to intercede with the emperor, but Shen Meizhuang did not speak in the end. Although An Lingrong understood that Meizhuang pleaded for her father in order to prevent Concubine Hua from letting her go Her father died, but she still had to vent her anger on Meizhuang.Now that An Bihuai has made a contribution to this matter, she feels a little uneasy. She still can't figure out what happened to An Bihuai, and the gate of Qinzheng Palace has already arrived.

"Your Majesty, An Chang is here."

"May the emperor be blessed with peace and prosperity." An Lingrong stepped forward to salute.

"You don't have to be polite, Rong'er, come here."

An Lingrong took the emperor's outstretched hand.

"Your father is good. Something happened to the original Songyang county magistrate when he was escorting the army rations. I have sentenced him to death. I let your father take the original position of Songyang county magistrate." Yongzheng felt that the person holding him heard Zhan Lijue froze when he said the word Zhan Lijue, but he didn't appease him.

"The emperor has clear rewards and punishments. Concubines don't understand political affairs. If my father can serve the emperor one or two times, it would be an honor for the concubine's family." An Lingrong said a little confused.

Yongzheng was satisfied with An Lingrong's appearance of being ignorant of political affairs, and he was even more satisfied when he heard her modest words, and he should be rewarded for his merits, but it would be bad if he was not careful, so he pulled her up on the couch to sit with him.

"A few days ago, I saw that you and Concubine Yu could have a few words."

"Miss Yu Concubine seems to be a bit indifferent with her whole heart dedicated to Buddha, but in fact, she can still get a few words."

"She is willing to give you her Shuangyinyue." Yongzheng waved his hand, and Su Peisheng immediately presented the Shuangyinyue.

An Lingrong got up from the couch in surprise, and touched the Yueqin lightly, "Really? This Shuangyinyue is a rare and good Yueqin. Is Yu Concubine really willing to part with it?"

Yongzheng looked at An Lingrong with joy in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was a qin lover, "When you were playing the qin, I wanted to give you the Yueqin that was in your hand, but now she is willing, it is the best, and the Shuangyinyue can be in your hands, it is not lonely took it."

"The concubine should thank the emperor and concubine Yu." An Lingrong took the Shuang Yinyue from Su Peisheng's hand and tried the strings twice, and looked at the emperor with curved eyes, "Since the concubine got this violin I can’t bear to send it back.”

Yongzheng smiled heartily, "Since Rong'er has a good piano, why not let me be the first to listen to Rong'er's playing."

Su Peisheng moved an exquisite stool with a wink, An Lingrong's cheeks were slightly flushed, "That concubine would rather obey her orders than be respectful."

Now that the matter of An Bihuai is gone, Zhen Huan will not be pleading for her to make an alliance with the Queen. In this way, Zhen Huan will owe Zhen Huan less favors, and the Queen, I don’t know if she will come to win her over again. She is now Concubine Hua's.
