"Sister Cao."

Cao Qin silently glanced at Sun Miaoqing who was beside An Lingrong, "Sister An."

"Concubine Hua's empress is a little bit pale today."

"The empress loves gorgeous things, and the empress is always frugal, so it is inevitable to compare." Cao Qinmo always speaks carefully outside.

"Yes, it's just that the emperor advocates frugality, and the empress should pay attention to it so that others will not say a few words."

Seeing An Lingrong, Cao Qinmo didn't care about it. Sun Changzai probably understood what she meant, and nodded with a smile, "My sister will let the empress pay attention. My sister will leave here on the way back to the dormitory."

An Lingrong and Sun Miaoqing stopped for a while, then walked forward.

"do you understand?"

Sun Miaoqing looked at the back of An Lingrong who was only one step away from her, "My sister can see clearly."

"Then, do you have anything you want to tell me." An Lingrong stopped and turned around, "Or, do you want to ask me anything."

Sun Miaoqing shook her head, "Since entering the palace, my sister has helped my sister a lot, and my sister has never repaid her." After a pause, she firmly held An Lingrong's hand, "Now my sister is willing to show it to my sister, my sister's choice It is my sister's choice."

An Lingrong felt warm in his heart, Miaoqing followed her so firmly without asking anything, this kind of trust moved her who had experienced countless quarrels, and she held her hand back, "It's rare in the deep palace to have a capable person." People who tell the truth together, I only hope that we can go to the end together."

"Your Majesty, the empress is here."

"Chen and concubine greet the emperor."

"Come on, get flat." Yongzheng said lightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Empress walked to the Emperor's side, "This month's harem bills have all been settled. The ministers and concubines have brought them to the Emperor to have a look."

Yongzheng only flipped through a few pages, "Why does Yikun Palace spend 8000 taels this month, more than three times more than the Queen's Palace?"

The queen tried her best not to let the smile rise from the corner of her mouth, but her words were still generous as always, "The new year will be over in a few months. Concubine Hua has always liked luxury, so it will inevitably cost more."

"Even so, you are the empress and she is the concubine, so her spending must not exceed that of the empress's palace."

"Concubine Hua pays attention to her appearance, and the decorations she uses are often decorated with gold leaf. She also ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a new batch of jewelry and clothes. In addition, when the general entered Beijing in the year, Concubine Hua must reward her, so she spent more. Women are pleasing to themselves, let alone Hua. The concubine is also the face of Zhou's family and the royal family." The queen talked about the reasons for Concubine Hua's expenses, but every sentence mentioned the word Nian's family, which made the emperor unhappy.

"She said it was for the Nian family, so it's nothing." Yongzheng flipped through the ledger impatiently and threw it aside, "In the future, tell me how much money she uses in the palace."

"Yes." The queen glanced at the account book that had been thrown away, "It's just that this is just the daily expenses of Yikun Palace. After a rough question from the concubine, the money that Concubine Hua rewards people is more than this amount."

"Nian Gengyao must have subsidized Concubine Hua a lot. The wool comes from the sheep, so let her do it." Yongzheng seemed a little indifferent.

The queen's smile was not so natural for a moment, "I dare to ask, if the money came from Nian Gengyao's mansion, would the emperor have rewarded Nian Gengyao so much? If it wasn't for the emperor's reward, Concubine Hua would spend so much money in a month. So much, where will the money come from?"

"I know more or less about this, so I don't need to say it."

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, Suiyuxuan and Yanxi Palace have each sent a set of pajamas, please take a look at them." Xiao Xiazi handed over two clothes in boxes.

"Suiyuxuan and Yanxi Palace really have a good understanding, the emperor might as well take a look." The queen returned to her graceful smile.

"Bring it."

The queen opened the box above, picked up the fabric and said, "It must have been embroidered by the nobleman in Guan. Although this embroidery is not the best in the palace, it is better than a friendship."

Yongzheng took the pajamas, "That's right, if it's Mrs. An's, the embroidery work will be several times better. Look at the box below."

The queen paused for a while while stroking the pajamas, and then opened the second box. Seeing the pajamas in the box, her smile froze again, "Mr. An's embroidery is indeed one of the best in the harem."

The queen didn't take out the pajamas, so Yongzheng slowly touched the pattern of the golden dragon coming out of the clouds on the pajamas, and there was a rare emotion in his eyes, as if he had fallen into some memory, "This pajamas are very rare. The empress said that the embroidery is brilliant."

"Why do you keep staring at me today?"

An Lingrong tidied the emperor's clothes, looking at the pajamas on the emperor's body, his expression was a little uncertain, "This pajamas seem to be embroidered by concubines."

"Of course you embroidered it, why can't you recognize what you embroidered?" Yong Zheng felt a little funny when he saw An Lingrong's reaction.

An Lingrong was a little dazed, looking at the pattern of the golden dragon out of the clouds on the pajamas. In her previous life, she had never seen the emperor wear the pajamas embroidered with the pattern of the golden dragon out of the clouds. Some couldn't believe it."

"Silly Ronger, didn't you give me this pajamas for me to wear? Even the queen praised you for your good embroidery."

An Lingrong was slightly stunned, queen, the queen actually saw this pajamas, and clenched her fists in the air, these days are going so smoothly, I didn't expect the emperor to put it on like this and let the queen see it, careless, I'm afraid It was when the queen saw this pajamas that she had been really remembered by the queen.

Yongzheng pinched An Lingrong's cheek, "I'm just curious, where did Rong'er learn this embroidery technique?"

"My concubine likes novel embroidery methods, and she often embroiders in different ways. The emperor saw that the sachet embroidered by my concubine is a different embroidery method." An Lingrong pointed to the half-embroidered sachet on the table far away. .

"I like your embroidery method very much, you might as well embroider a few more pieces for me when you have time." Yongzheng took An Lingrong's hand and walked towards the bed.

"The emperor likes it, and the concubine will definitely make a few more for the emperor." An Lingrong bowed her head shyly, but the emperor could like it so much just by changing the embroidery method. She An Lingrong was in the empress's place after she joined the empress in her previous life. It is not difficult to imitate a lot of embroidery techniques of pure Yuan old things, and their emperor is still that infatuated person.

"Today is Laba, and the harem is going to pay respects to the empress dowager. Do you have any requirements for dressing up?" Zhu'er secretly looked at the various jewelry in the dressing box of the young master. There are so many jewelry. The little master dresses up beautifully, so that the little master can count in the six palaces.

Zhu'er's thoughts are the most easy to understand, everything is shown on her face, An Lingrong saw that her baba was looking at the dressing box and she understood a little bit, and said, "Today I am going to see the queen mother, I am going to see the elders, dress up The ones that are more plain but can show that I am a favorite concubine will be fine."

So An Lingrong wore a well-groomed flag head, adorned with hairpins and hairpins that the emperor rewarded but not the best. On his upper body, he wore a water-color blouse with silver thread chain link flowers and a satin skirt with the same water-color Ruyi silver pattern. A brocade-studded fur canopy is made of fine materials, but it looks plain and clean.

Just like this, standing in the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace does not look outstanding, but anyone who looks at her can tell that she is the emperor's favorite concubine.

"Guan nobleman, Fucha nobleman, An nobleman, Cao nobleman, please greet the Queen Mother."

"I wish the Queen Mother good health and good fortune forever." The four people who were named by the eunuch greeted the Queen Mother together.

Unsurprisingly, Mrs. Guan was named by the Queen Mother, Mrs. Wan's words were pleasing, and the Queen helped her a little more. The Queen Mother seemed very satisfied with her, and rewarded her with two pieces of brocade. It is directly saying that I want more nobles from Guan to go to Shoukang Palace to copy scriptures.

"Which one is Mrs. An?" The queen mother asked again.

An Lingrong took a step to the left and made an unmistakable salute. Even though he was surprised in his heart, he spoke without surprise or joy, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, this concubine is the noble An Shi."

The Empress Dowager pays the most attention to etiquette, and she is quite satisfied with An Lingrong's attire and calm appearance, "I heard that you have a lot of talents, but you also know how to measure."

"The empress dowager praises, which of the sisters in the harem is not good at something, and the concubines are just a bit rough. If the sisters don't give in, there will be no time for the concubines to show themselves." An Lingrong lowered his head again. humbly said.

The queen mother nodded and didn't care too much about it, "Aijia also heard that you often go to Baohua Hall to worship Buddha sincerely."

"Yes, paying attention to the Buddha's heart is the most important thing." An Lingrong replied piously.

"That's right." Compared to the similarity between the noble man and someone, the queen mother obviously found something close to An Lingrong, "If you have time, you can come to Ai's family to discuss Buddhist scriptures."

"Thank you Queen Mother." The Queen Mother did not force Zhen Huan to go to Shoukang Palace to copy the scriptures. It can be seen that the Queen Mother only recognized her and had no taboos. An Lingrong sincerely bowed down.

Different from Guan nobleman's sweetness and cleverness, An Lingrong doesn't talk much, but her actions are very polite, just like the emperor told the queen mother, An Lingrong is a woman who feels happy and peaceful.

The queen mother's heart moved, "It's rare that there are concubines in the harem who love to worship the Buddha, Zhu Xi, go and bring the red sandalwood beads that have been opened before the case to Mrs. An."

An Lingrong showed some obvious joy and bowed to the Queen Mother again before taking the beads.

"Queen Mother, Mrs. An is here."

"Since you're here, let her come in." The queen mother never put down the Buddha string in her hand.

"May the Empress Dowager be safe and blessed." An Lingrong bowed respectfully.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Empress."

"It's a coincidence that you came here. You came just after the nobleman left." The queen mother said silently again in her heart before putting down the Buddha string in her hand.

An Lingrong was not afraid to reveal his stranger to Zhen Huan, and said with a slight smile, "Your Majesty Guan is copying scriptures at the Queen Mother's place, and the concubines can't disturb her. Is the Queen Mother going to worship the Buddha?"

The queen mother nodded and paused slightly, "If you are interested, you may wish to accompany Ai's family to worship the Buddha."

"The concubine only paid tribute to the Buddha with the concubine Yu, and it is an honor for the concubine to be able to worship the Buddha with the empress dowager today." An Lingrong said flattering words, without any flattery on his face.

The queen mother smiled lightly, helped Zhu Xi into a hall where the Bodhisattva was placed, An Lingrong followed the queen mother, took the red sandalwood Buddha beads rewarded by the queen mother from Juqing's hand, and knelt down and recited together.

This kneeling lasted for two hours.

"Look at your child, you look like a weak willow, you don't look very tired after kneeling for two hours, you can see that you often kneel and worship." After this kneeling, the Queen Mother saw An Lingrong's performance in her eyes, and she spoke a lot closer.

An Lingrong replied shyly, "Not often, there are many things that ministers and concubines like to fiddle with on weekdays, but worshiping the Buddha is absolutely indispensable."

"You are better at living than nobleman Guan." The queen mother praised casually.

When An Lingrong heard the words Guan Guiren, his eyes shifted to the incense burner beside him, and he changed his mind, "The queen mother has been lighting this sandalwood?"

"how?"

"Although people who worship the Buddha like to light sandalwood, but after burning sandalwood for a long time, they are prone to fatigue. The concubine loves to play with spices. It is better for the concubine to recommend a lighter incense. The queen mother occasionally lights it to relieve fatigue."

The queen mother didn't seem very surprised that An Lingrong would mix incense, and she didn't refuse, "The Ai family will try it when they have time."

"Look, servant girl, this nobleman An is really versatile, and his temper is so calm, it's very rare." Waiting for nobleman An to leave, he said to the queen mother with a sigh of relief.

"It's true to be multi-talented, but it doesn't have to be light-hearted. I heard that nobleman Guan is exquisite in all aspects. This nobleman An is not uncommon for friends, but these two people are not compatible."

"It's inevitable that there will be some unhappiness between the concubines." Zhu breathed out.

"Forget it, except for Concubine Yu, it is very rare to have a junior who can accompany Ai's family to worship the Buddha. Fang Yi is right. Mrs. An is a person who is knowledgeable and willing to work hard. Such a person is okay to be pampered by the emperor. .Unlike the noble people in Wanwan who mourn their families, they need to hold back."

Ever since the nobleman from Guan went to the Empress Dowager’s palace to copy Buddhist scriptures, the emperor spent more time in the queen’s palace, and fewer days to go to the nobleman’s place, but the place where the other concubines stayed remained the same. Concubine Hua, Mrs. An, and Sun Changzai , Occasionally saw Mrs. Cao Gui, Qi Concubine and Xin were always there, and for a while the harem seemed to be covered with rain and dew, and the days were much calmer.

An Lingrong remembered that the winter of this year was the beginning of truly revealing the Queen's thoughts.

"You guys seem to have made an appointment today, and you will come at about the same time." The Queen smiled.

"Today is such a coincidence, maybe we have been together in the palace for a long time, and the sisters here have a tacit understanding." Mrs. Wan spoke with a generous smile.

"Cough cough..."

"How come Mrs. An is coughing, but he is cold because of the cold?"

"Thank you, Empress, for your concern. It was my concubine who was careless. I accidentally caught a cold while watching the snow a few days ago, and I haven't recovered yet." An Lingrong covered his handkerchief and coughed twice in a low voice.

Sun Miaoqing, who was sitting by the side, said with a worried face, "Sister An has taken a lot of medicine and it is not getting better."

"Mr. An's voice is not good because of the wind and cold, the emperor will still go to sit with Mr. An." Concubine Qi's words seemed to make no difference whether An Lingrong's voice was good or not, so there was no need to worry about it.

Cao Guiren took a sip of the good tea prepared by the queen, "This voice is a big deal, An Guiren should be more cautious."

"Yeah, sister has never heard sister An singing. If her voice is not good, wouldn't it be a pity for her singing." Zhen Huan said a few words casually, somewhat insinuating that it's a pity that An Lingrong's voice is not her voice.

An Lingrong just sat there and thanked all the concubines for their concern.

Just as he was talking vigorously, the rich man over there suddenly retched twice.

After a while, the nobleman Fucha revealed that she was pregnant.It's just that the nobles of Fucha are usually not favored, and they are lucky enough to be summoned only once in a few months, which makes Concubine Hua Zhen Huan and even An Lingrong feel a little embarrassed.

However, when the nobleman of Fucha, who usually doesn't talk much, became pregnant, he became talkative, and his words offended Hua Concubine Zhen Huan and An Lingrong.

"Aren't you angry, my lord?"

"Why are you angry?" An Lingrong walked slowly with Baojuan's support.

"Aren't the words of grace and blessings that the nobleman Fucha said are poking at the pain of the young master? What's more, looking at her pregnant appearance, the young master is in the first house with her, so what will happen in the future? angry."

"Concubine Hua and the nobleman Guan are not angry, so why should I be angry? Besides, the emperor will be happy to have more children." An Lingrong said lightly, and it would depend on her wishes to provoke her to do something with the nobleman Fucha. I don't want to, but I don't forget to feel disgusted at the end, "If the emperor is happy, I will be happy. Next time, don't talk about the nobleman Fucha. It will make others think that I don't want to see other people get pregnant."

"Yes."

"Doctor Jiang is waiting?"

"Physician Jiang should be here at this time."

An Lingrong nodded, "Go back to the palace."

"An nobleman, Wanfu Jinan."

"Doctor Jiang get up quickly."

Jiang Cheng stepped forward to feel his pulse, "My lord's wind and cold are no longer a serious problem, and he will recover after two days of rest, but his voice may respond to the previous Liu Wu, so there may be some delay."

"Juqing, go and cook today's medicine for me; Baojuan, go and get some candied fruit."

"Yes."

An Lingrong stood up and looked at Jiang Cheng, who was still kneeling on the ground, "The doctor Jiang is serious. Cao Guiren told me about Liu Du, and I know a little bit about it. I know why your problematic prescription was made into a card. Did you pick up a piece of ordinary prescription without any problems?"

Jiang Cheng shook his hand, "Thank you, my lord."

An Lingrong smiled slightly, "Physician Jiang seems to often ask for the peace pulse for Concubine Hua."

"Yes."

"I once had the honor to go to the inner palace of Yikun Palace. The Huanyi fragrance of Yikun Palace is really nice to smell, and the doctor Jiang often took the pulse of the concubine Hua, but he didn't tell her a word." An Lingrong stepped forward One step further, "Huanyixiang should be rewarded by the emperor to the concubine Hua. Doctor Jiang is a smart person, and he should know that no matter how big a towering tree is, it will die one day, and whether it dies or not depends on whether God is willing to give it to you." A drop of rain."

Jiang Cheng was already dripping with cold sweat at this moment, "Please tell me clearly, my lord."

"Don't worry, I am the Concubine Hua, and I will naturally think about Concubine Hua, and I will definitely not harm Concubine Hua, but I have a few things to tell you, don't worry, it's not a big deal." An Lingrong Supporting Jiangcheng, Zhen Huan told her about Huan Yixiang in the previous life. The Emperor Jiangcheng would never dare to speak out about this matter. Even if he dared to speak out, she would never have set foot in Yikun Palace in this life. How could she know such a thing? What does Mixin have to do with her, "I like the cleanliness the most. I remember the first time I saw Grand Physician Jiang, I felt kind. Sure enough, as soon as Physician Jiang spoke, I was free for more than a month."

If it wasn't for An Lingrong's support, Jiang Cheng would have staggered a bit, "Your master will do it."

When Bao Juan and Ju Qing came back, they saw their young master sitting there with a sense of melancholy, while Imperial Physician Jiang lowered his head and tidied up the medicine box, "Young Master, don't worry."

"There is Lao Jiang, the doctor."

"Recently there is an epidemic outside the palace, so the young master should be more careful."

An Lingrong accepted Jiang Cheng's overture with a smile, "Thank you, Imperial Physician Jiang."

"My lord, drink this medicine while it's hot." Ju Qing brought the medicine to An Lingrong, seeing that An Lingrong was still frowning, "My lord, what worries you?"

"Physician Jiang said that there is nothing wrong with my body. After all, Mr. Fucha is right. This fate is destined." An Lingrong sighed.

"Young master, don't worry, the young master is also a blessed person." Bao Juan thought that this was the reason for sending her and Ju Qing away, and immediately comforted An Lingrong.

"En." An Lingrong absently replied.
