Rebirth · Mausoleum

It was getting warmer day by day, and Chunri finally came to the palace slowly. The flowers bloomed the best in spring. The empress happily picked out many flowers and moved them to Jingren Palace for a flower viewing banquet, inviting all the concubines in the palace, except Duanfei Concubine Hui and Concubine Mu took leave and the rest of the concubines were present.

"The flowers chosen by the empress are really good." Concubine Qi pointed to the peony with a smile, "Look at how well this peony blooms, it matches your color."

Concubine Rong saw the queen smiling, looked at Shaoyao and said, "This unqualified peony is no match for the beautiful peony after all."

This remark reminded all the concubines who knew about it that they promised the year before last that when Concubine Hua was in full bloom, she also provocatively pointed out that the queen's pink peony was inferior to the color of peonies when she was admiring the flowers, but now Concubine Hua is already The demotion was agreed, but the queen was still standing in the palace.

"The color of the peony is too bright, so I don't like it." The queen picked off the pink peony that bloomed just in front of her. "This year's peony is still blooming so well."

"What the empress said," An Lingrong looked around at the flowers before opening his mouth, "The concubine sees that the flowers in the Jingren Palace of the empress are blooming so well, but I can't tell whether it is superior or not. Chosen."

"That's right, the camellia and rhododendron are excellent." Concubine Jing paused for a while, "It seems that the crabapple is missing?"

The empress smiled a little more, "This year's begonias are not good, so I didn't pick them into the palace."

An Lingrong sighed slightly in his heart, Zhen Huan used to like crabapple the most, and even compared it to himself, but now there is no crabapple for viewing flowers, and she stepped on peony, which marked Zhen Huan's departure from the palace, and Nian was trampled under it.After all, the queen's flower viewing banquet is boring, but no matter what I think in my heart, I still want to praise the queen on the face.

The queen suggested, "I'm used to admiring flowers, why not mention some interesting ones, all the sisters know a little about poetry and books, why don't you choose a flower that you like, and then recite a poem."

"The empress's suggestion is very interesting." Concubine Qi was the first to agree.

Who in the harem didn't know that concubine Yao was from a small family, and naturally knew that she seldom read poetry and books.Now Concubine Mu is quiet and the Empress is getting more and more energetic, everyone only thinks that Concubine Yao is going to embarrass Concubine Yao.

"What is it, Concubine Qi thinks it's very interesting."

"See Your Majesty."

"Get up."

The concubines and concubines smiled sweetly when they saw the emperor setting up Jingren Palace. They unconsciously straightened their temple hair, straightened their hairpins, or regretted not wearing anything.

"Just now the empress suggested that you sisters choose a flower poem that you like. Not only the younger sister Qi concubine found it interesting, but the concubine also thought the empress empress's suggestion was very good." Rong concubine replied the emperor's words.

Yongzheng squinted his eyes and looked at the queen. The queen smiled back, and Yongzheng also smiled, "It seems that the queen's idea is very popular among the concubines."

Seeing that Concubine Yao's expression was normal, Mr. Jin still insinuated, "I don't know what are the requirements for this poem?"

"With our talent and learning, if we want to compose poems, it would be laughable and generous. Just memorize a poem that suits the occasion at will." The queen said, only widening the scope of the poem, showing her understanding of the concubine Yao, but the occasion is also particular , the emperor can see the difference between high and low, it's not that simple.Concubine Yao has been favored for a long time, even though Concubine Yao keeps a low profile, there are only a lot of people watching the fun.

Unexpectedly, Yongzheng nodded and said, "The empress's proposal is good, but it's just that other people don't care. Concubine Yao is afraid that she can't read well if she reads less poems and books. Why don't she just let her be lazy for a while and just listen to learn more about the poems and books?" .”

The emperor's words belittled An Lingrong on the surface, but actually avoided her embarrassment. Several concubines had teased and snickered, but the empress's satisfied smile just faded slightly, and she threw the words to An Lingrong, "Although All the concubines agree with this proposal, if Concubine Yao does not participate, it will depend on Concubine Yao's opinion."

If An Lingrong agrees with the emperor's words and does not participate, he will offend the concubines who agreed with the palaces, and if he does not agree with the emperor's proposal, it will be back to the emperor's face.

An Lingrong blushed slightly, and saluted, "All sisters agree with the empress's proposal. It is not good for the concubine to disturb the interest of the sisters. Fortunately, the concubine has served the emperor for a while, and I have learned a thing or two. As long as you Sisters, Empress Empress, as long as the emperor doesn't dislike his concubines."

Yongzheng was a little surprised, but still smiled, "That's good, don't let her pick it out, just let her go. You don't have to be restrained, go choose flowers."

When the emperor said so, the concubines didn't say much and went to choose the flowers they wanted, and then carefully thought out the poems, just waiting to read them one by one in front of the emperor.

Seeing that everyone was pondering for a moment, the queen smiled and said to the emperor, "It seems that all the sisters are very reserved. It's not as if the concubines are the first to recite poems."

Yongzheng nodded.

"Baibao Lan protects Xiaohan, and the Chenxiang Pavilion is a sight. Whoever is the master of the spring in spring is the peony." After reading, the queen said embarrassedly, "I don't know poetry very much, because I love peonies. One or two, I have already started, sisters, don't be embarrassed anymore."

Concubine Qi said, "The empress's poem not only sets off the spring scenery, but also fits the identity of the empress. The poems chosen by the empress are so good, why do I underestimate myself. The concubine also made a fool of herself in front of all the sisters."

After finishing speaking, I read Wang Wei's "Paradise" again, and then Concubine Rong read the poem of Du Juan, Concubine Jing read the poem of Camellia, the atmosphere became more relaxed, and all the concubines also read out their own affairs. When the concubine came down, she also recited a poem after the nobleman Jin took a look at Concubine Yao's face, and concubine Yao and nobleman Lan stayed until the end for no reason.

Yongzheng nodded. He knew most of these concubines were talented in poetry, and there was nothing new. He turned his eyes to An Lingrong, with some jokes in his eyes and a curiosity that he didn't know, "Concubine Yao hasn't read poetry yet. Woolen cloth."

An Lingrong gave the emperor a slight look. In the eyes of the emperor, he only regarded her as coquettish. An Lingrong bowed to the queen again, "The concubine also reads peach blossoms, but this peach blossom is different from the peach blossoms of concubine Qi's younger sister."

The empress just pretended not to see the emperor feeling better after seeing An Lingrong glaring at him, "That's what you think."

"The bamboo wind shakes in the green rhyme, and the red buds smile like peaches in late spring."

An Lingrong just read the first two lines, not the last two lines, "These are the poems of my concubine."

"Concubine Yao's poem is wrong, why is there only the first two lines, could it be that she rarely forgets it when she reads?" Concubine Qi sneered.

"Shu Yu Chunhua competes for favor, and the heart is full of fragrance and the tree is enchanting." Noble Lan said indifferently, no matter how inappropriate the content of the poem is, "The Yao concubine does not understand poetry, so she can read a poem about flowers after everyone Poetry is not easy, not to mention that this poem is so "enchanting" that it is not easy to read it in public."

If Yongzheng was surprised to hear that An Lingrong was able to recite a poem after everyone else, seeing that she only recited the first two lines, he added the last two lines in his heart, and his heart moved. These two lines clearly spoke of her. There is a saying of "the heart is full of fragrance and the tree is enchanting" if you don't like to compete for favor. Although An Lingrong itself is not enchanting, maybe he likes it for a while, but it can be regarded as a unique fragrance.

It was beyond his surprise that nobleman Lan, who was not much to talk about, opened his mouth to rescue An Lingrong. He seldom summoned nobleman Lan, and now nobleman Lan can utter a few words. "It seems that Mr. Cha Lan hasn't written a poem yet."

Honorable Lan bowed, "The concubine doesn't like flowers and plants, not to mention the empresses of all the palaces have almost finished talking about the flowers that bloom in spring. The concubine chooses the other one and I hope the empress and the emperor will approve it."

"That's right."

Nobleman Lan didn't expect the emperor to agree so quickly, so he paused for a moment and said, "The pine at the bottom of Yuyu Jian, the seedlings on the Lili mountain, the stems are one inch in diameter, and the shade is a hundred feet."

"You actually like pines and cypresses. Women are mostly delicate and few people like pines and cypresses." Yongzheng stared at nobleman Lan.

Lan nobleman won the emperor's blue eyes, and his complexion did not change. "The concubine likes the spirit of pines and cypresses standing upright and not forgetting to shade others. What's more, the pines and cypresses are evergreen all the year round, so the concubines can be less sad. Concubine Qi's poems about peach blossoms are good, but unfortunately they are not as good as Wang Mian "Where peaches are vulgar and plums are fragrant, only old plums are self-sufficient." Seeing how Concubine Qi talks about poetry, there should be more self-sufficiency in plum blossoms. It is also peach blossom, but it is not as good as the oleander of Concubine Yao."

Concubine Qi didn't want the quiet nobleman Lan to be so eloquent when she talked about poetry, even though she came from a family with a little poetry reading, she couldn't refute, and she was always beaming and could only stare at nobleman Lan.

These people are also surprised by An Lingrong. In this life, she swallowed many poems in order to please the emperor more. She recited this poem just to make the emperor think of the following two sentences. She was willing to rescue her and help her return what Concubine Qi said. She didn't say a word, but it seemed that she had taken the most advantage in front of the emperor.

However, it is still unknown who took advantage of the way the emperor looked at nobleman Lan.

"You know a lot." Yongzheng looked at Mrs. Lan, then at Concubine Yao, and finally at the Queen, and smiled knowingly at the Queen, "I still have papers to approve, and you did a great job at the flower viewing banquet today. I'm going back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation first."

"Yes."

After the emperor left, the flower viewing banquet ended in a short while.An Lingrong walked back to the Palace of Yanxi Palace with nobleman Jin talking and laughing.

"Ms. Yao concubine stay behind."

Noble Lan stepped forward to salute from behind, "There are still a few good flowers in the imperial garden. I don't know if the concubine Yao is willing to walk around with my concubines to enjoy the flowers."

Suo Chuo Luo Xianyuan only looked at An Lingrong, Fucha Chenling was directly ignored by her.Nobleman Jin was not embarrassed, he pursed his lips and smiled, "Nobleman Lan doesn't chat with his wife as often as my concubine, since nobleman Lan rarely invites others to enjoy flowers, this concubine will go back to Yanxi Palace by herself first."

"Okay." An Lingrong responded with a smile, and went to the Imperial Garden with Mr. Lan.

"Your Majesty, this nobleman Lan is so ignorant." Jian Qiu rubbed and pushed the Queen's shoulders.

"If it wasn't for Concubine Qi and Concubine Rong who are not good at studying, Mrs. Lan usually doesn't fight or snatch, how could I be willing to give her a chance when the emperor lacks such a person." The queen lifted the tea cover, "It's just that the emperor In dealing with Long Kedo's matter involving Suo Chuo Luo, she doesn't know how to repay Ben Gong, but she even spoke to help Concubine Yao."

"This Concubine Yao is silent and she doesn't know when she hooked up with nobleman Lan."

"Isn't she always so quiet?" The queen took a sip of tea, "Concubine Rong is also quite capable. Concubine Mu has been so disheartened since she gave birth that she doesn't even go out of the palace, and elder brother Liu is also abolished. Noble lady Lan Aren't you unwilling to help Ben Gong, so Ben Gong asked her to see what would happen if she followed Concubine Yao. Concubine Mu is the most concerned about the child, brother Six is ​​already abolished and there is nothing worth keeping. "

"The nobleman Lan?"

"A noble person who has never been favored and has no children, how much effort does it take me to get favored just now?" The queen raised her head slightly, "If I can make her be favored, I can also make her fall out of favor. Concubine Rong has been practicing recently."

"I've been practicing. She practiced martial arts in her early years, so it's not a problem to expand her body. It's just that it will take some time to soften her body."

The queen nodded reassuringly, "She has also been out of favor for a long time, what's the use of just having a useless elder brother, it's better to share some favors so that others will be less proud."

"I remember the last time I enjoyed the flowers with Mr. Lan in the winter, looking at the plum blossoms leaning against the plum garden." An Lingrong was supported by Ju Qing, "I remember, and I also gave Lan a branch of plum blossoms that were not fully bloomed." My lord."

"Yes." Suo Chuo Luo Xianyuan nodded, "It's better to revisit the old place, there are few people in the plum garden in spring."

An Lingrong nodded, and the two walked together to lean on the plum garden, An Lingrong let go of Ju Qing's hand, Ju Qing obediently followed behind, and so did the eyebrows beside Lan Guiren.

"Admiring the flowers today, I am very curious why the nobleman wants to help me."

Suo Chuo Luo Xianyuan said slowly, "Your Majesty said that Yimei Garden is the place where you and the emperor first met."

"Yes."

"The concubine remembers the nostalgia in the eyes of the empress at that time. Today, in front of all the concubines, only the empress dared to stare at the emperor, and the emperor was willing to protect the empress. This rare friendship in the palace made me see a little bit, and my selfishness made me insist. It is to protect the two points, so the concubine has the courage to help the empress." The nobleman said calmly, "Of course, today's success, the concubine has other selfish intentions, and the concubine's family was implicated by the Longkoduo incident. The concubine has to contribute to the family in the palace. The concubine understands that once she shows her edge in the palace, she has to rely on someone."

An Lingrong saw the wonderful man in front of him with a cold face but finished speaking frankly, as if he was talking about another person, "You are so blunt when you speak bluntly. I will protect you after being favored. I want to know why you chose me."

"Concubine Mu is no longer able to help you. Now you are fighting against the empress and only noble Jin can help you. She is not the most favored, but I am afraid that you will not be able to do what you want, and the empress does not have many concubines. This is one of them; concubine. I have seen you protecting Concubine Mu, but Concubine has never seen the empress protect Concubine Qi and Concubine Rong like that, this is the second." Suo Chuo Luo Xianyuan showed a strange smile, "The third thing, Naturally, the concubine has nothing to worry about, and decides to be one of the plum blossoms in the palace."

An Ling felt that the third item was a bit strange, and remembered that nobleman Lan deliberately dressed up to suppress his appearance at the banquet, remembered nobleman Lan's aloof and uncompetitive appearance in the past, and nobleman Lan in the past when he faced the palace in the plum garden. Disliked by Hua', he had some guesses in his heart, finally suppressed his curiosity and said, "I heard that you have some disagreements with Chen Ling's family."

"My lord, don't worry, the concubine will not be the first to choose in this direct conflict. The concubine is not as good at talking as the nobleman Jin, but today the concubine is willing to speak up and help you at the flower appreciation banquet hosted by the queen, but she, Fucha Chenling, dare not do it .”

An Lingrong nodded, she was willing to believe her five points because of nobleman Lan's surrender, which directly offended the queen, "I can promise you, but in the future, I will still say that old saying, it will see people's hearts for a long time." .”

This day after the flower viewing feast, nobleman Lan, who was cold-faced and knowledgeable about poetry and books, quickly gained the favor of the emperor, and became the No. .

The people who saw that Concubine Mu was no longer on good terms with Concubine Yao and were waiting to see Concubine Yao's jokes became colder, but the rivalry between Concubine Yao and Concubine Yao did not end because of Concubine Mu's fading out, but because the new nobleman Lan became more and more fierce.

The main hall of An Lingrong's Yanxi Palace often looks like this: nobleman Jin Linglong often talks about trivial matters in the palace and avoids nobleman Lan, and nobleman Lan keeps a cold face and says a few words from time to time, either mocking nobleman Jin or accepting An Lingrong If the two of them can talk to each other as little as possible.

"Your Majesty, your letter from home has arrived."

An Lingrong took the envelope, opened it and read it.

'It's not safe to ask someone to help write a letter home even after a few years.I don't know if the empress is in good health or if she is living a happy life.Everything is fine here in the Anfu, the empress does not need to worry, I wrote a special letter today because I have a happy event to tell my empress.Brother Ning has achieved some success in business these years, and now his family is in the south of the Yangtze River, which is considered to be a well-known and wealthy businessman's family, and your father no longer forces him to study and become an official.In addition, Mr. Sun from Suzhou Weaving is on good terms with Brother Ning. He heard that his younger sister is also in the palace.The whole palace still needs to be taken care of by the empress, if there is any need, the empress can write back. '

An Lingrong's eyes were slightly wet. It looked like this letter was written by Lin's entrusted person. There were also several large bank notes in the envelope. It can be seen that the An family has indeed developed well over the years, and she felt much more at ease in the palace.

An Lingrong put down the letter paper and gave the banknote to Ju Qing, "Today is April [-]th."

"Yes." Ju Qing kept the bank notes as usual.

"Is your majesty feeling uncomfortable these days?" An Lingrong asked tentatively.

Ju Qing thought about it carefully, "I haven't heard anything about this servant girl. The emperor has just finished dealing with Long Kedo's matter, and he has won the new favor of nobleman Lan. The only thing that the empress dowager is seriously ill is worth worrying about the emperor."

An Lingrong was in a trance for a while. In the previous life, the emperor fell ill because of Zhen Huan's unhappy birthday. As a result, when he served the emperor, he couldn't get concubine An at that time.

"Ms. Yao Concubine."

"Eunuch Su, please stand up."

"The emperor said that he will come to you for breakfast tomorrow, so the slave will come to inform you first."

An Lingrong put on a skillful smile, "Thank you, Eunuch Su."

That's right, the emperor is happy with a new love, and the political affairs are going well, but the old man can't compare with the man in front of him after all.After all, some things in this life have changed with people.

The author has something to say:

Because this part of the situation in the palace after Zhen Huan left the palace needs me to grind it out out of thin air, so the update will be a little slower QAQ. In addition, regarding Sun Miaoqing’s withdrawal, I push it like this: Miaoqing feels that she still cannot keep her child under the protection of the joint cooperation with Ling Rong. If the risk of losing the child is exacerbated by continuing to fight for favor, it's not because she doesn't hate her but because she doesn't dare to take the risk (her character is still relatively cowardly), and Hong Xu is "injured by milk soup" to the outside world, she thinks It is possible to live safely in the harem without grace like Concubine Qi.

I feel that what everyone said is very reasonable (sure enough, I don’t have enough brainpower), and I decided to change the branch line of Miaoqing according to my thoughts (the content of the Queen’s speech above has changed)
