An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

The emperor's mood was a little low. After An Lingrong's enlightenment and companionship, he woke up refreshed and regained his vitality. He came from the tunnel, and naturally he returned from the tunnel. When the emperor was about to leave, An Lingrong mentioned Chun Changzai just right. She guessed that the emperor had probably forgotten her. So far, Chun Chang was still an ignorant child in the emperor's heart.

It had just rained a few days ago. The soil in the Imperial Garden was moist and fragrant, and there were few people around. Only Chun Chang and his maid Yu'er walked around the Imperial Garden in the drizzle, peeling away the densely packed peonies, peonies and crabapples. After waiting for flowers, they arrived at an open area that used to be filled with all kinds of rare roses. Since Concubine Hua left, the roses in the garden have also been destroyed to pieces. It seems that no one has visited this area. After taking care of it, the broken branches and leaves on the ground were left to dry and danced in the wind.

Yu'er held a goose-feather umbrella, but it couldn't cover Chun Changzai's body. Chun Changzai had half of his body leaning out of the umbrella, his hair was wet and stuck to his forehead, but he was still full of interest and pointed at the soil turned up on the ground. Said: "Yu'er, throw a little bit of the cake residue at this position, and a little at that position. You see, there are many ants from the side of the stone. Let's wait and gather more ants together. All of them will be gone." Take him back to the palace."

An Lingrong saw Chun Chang squatting on the ground with Yu'er from a distance. The hem of his clothes was soaked in the soil and was dirty and wet. He caught the ants and put them into a light-colored jar with a smile on his face.

An Lingrong asked loudly: "Chun'er, it's still raining today. Why are you catching this ant?"

Chun Chang raised his head and responded: "Sister An, the noble Fucha couldn't speak yesterday when he had an audience with the queen. Her maids Lan Xin and Kang Luhai followed the noble Fucha to play in the imperial garden. Lan Xin said she wanted to hear She smelled the fragrance of flowers, but it was a pity that she couldn’t see with her eyes. She didn’t dare to enter the imperial garden, saying that she was afraid that the ants and bugs inside would get from her feet and head into her clothes and bite her skin, so I took the rain with me today. Come and catch the ants, and after I surround this small area and catch all the ants and bugs, the rich and noble ladies can come in and enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden."

An Lingrong was slightly shaken, and there was a faint sour smell in her nose, but she soon calmed down. An Lingrong was about to urge her to go back to Tangli Palace early, so as not to catch a cold due to the rain.

Unexpectedly, Cao Guiren, who happened to be passing by, was taking Lin Qing and Concubine Qi with him. Princess Wen Yi and the third elder brother were still holding hands and standing side by side. When they learned that Chun Chang was catching insects and ants in the imperial garden, Princess Wen Yi was also making a fuss. To catch him, Cao Guiren could not suppress his emotions. He stared at Chun Changzai as if he were looking at an extraordinary monster. He said to Concubine Qi beside him: "Isn't that Chun Changzai? Why is it so big? He is still so childish and ignorant, I don’t know why his father would send such a young child to the palace to be a concubine for the emperor, it is really rude!”

Concubine Qi smiled and said: "Sending her to the palace earlier can save a lot of money in raising her! Sooner or later, this daughter will belong to someone else's family. Presumably Chun Changzai's father and mother are more transparent and sent her in earlier to occupy a place for the emperor. Let’s raise her as a child and concubine!”

Cao Guiren rolled his eyes at Concubine Qi and said, "Look at your mouth. People say that those who give birth to sons are stingy people! I really agree with your mouth! It's not good for Chun Chang to take advantage of his parents. How long had it been since Chang Zai had been in the palace before she accompanied the emperor to bed once? The emperor was still reluctant to touch her because she was not fully developed yet! I heard that the emperor announced that she had entered the Yangxin Palace, so the two of them carried several plates of cakes and played with each other. After playing leaf cards for several hours, Chun Changzai even asked someone excitedly if she could get pregnant. She was already sleeping with her! Look how proud she was. She had never heard that you could get pregnant by playing leaf cards. Yes, do you think it’s childish?”

When Cao Guiren said this, her voice rose unconsciously, and she didn't know whether she did it on purpose or accidentally. Chun Chang heard these words just as Feng was following her. She raised her head and stared at Cao Guiren, and pulled Yu'er's body. Yu'er still had the pipa she often used on her back, and Chun'er gave it a try. He snatched the pipa up and held it in his arms while glaring at Cao Guiren and said, "Cao Guiren, could it be that you grew up out of thin air on your own? Don't these people have to eat one bite at a time and grow up like this day by day?"

An Lingrong saw Chun'er using the pipa. At this time, she didn't want to play the pipa in the rain to add to the scenery. The pipa was her weapon, and it could hurt people by transmitting sound.

An Lingrong shouted: "Chun'er, stop! Stop playing the pipa and go back to the palace. Look, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. I won't be able to catch all the insects and ants in a while."

Chun Changzai slowly handed the pipa to Yu'er's hand with some displeasure. He gave Cao Guiren another look, picked up the ant jar and walked out of the imperial garden. Passing by Cao Guiren, Chun Changzai said calmly. He hummed and said: "I'm going to see the emperor tonight, isn't it just for sleeping? If you can't get pregnant by playing leaf cards, the emperor will always have a way. If you dare to talk nonsense, I will definitely report you to the emperor." "

Wen Yi, who was next to Cao Guiren, was smart and clear. He ran over quickly, pulled Chun Changzai's clothes and said, "Empress Chun, can you not tell your father that my mother-in-law will never say anything wrong about you again? Don't Say, next time Wen Yi will accompany you to catch ants, okay?"

Chun Chang Zai's brows softened, and he took Wen Yi's little hand and said, "Then, for Wen Yi's sake, we won't complain to the Emperor for the time being. Wen Yi should go back obediently!" After saying that, Chun Chang Zai She gave Cao Guiren a hard look and left. Looking at her walking away, she was still angry!

An Lingrong took Qin Sanyue back to the palace. Cao Guiren asked slowly from behind: "Libi, are you still used to living in Yikun Palace?"

An Lingrong said calmly: "Thank you for your trouble, noble Cao. The Yikun Palace is suppressed by the soul of Concubine Hua! I believe that no monsters or monsters dare to enter the Yikun Palace."

Cao Guiren was stunned and didn't say a word.

I don’t know what tricks Chun’er used. Anyway, the emperor really announced that Chun’er would go to bed that night. I heard that Chun’er went to the Yangxin Hall to wait for the emperor before dinner, and waited for the emperor to return to the Yangxin Hall. At that time, Chun'er waited too long and fell asleep outside the Yangxin Hall. The emperor carried her in, but he still thought that she was too young and her body was not well developed, so he couldn't bear to do anything to her, so he let Chun'er wear it. She slept on the bed in the Yangxin Hall for one night, and the emperor also wore her clothes and hugged her. Chun'er said that she had no status in the palace and would not be bullied. The next day, the emperor actually promoted her to a Chun noble, which made Cao Guiren's teeth itch. , the queen's face was also dark, saying that this Chun'er had no heirs yet, was young and ignorant, but how could he dare to criticize the emperor's decision for treason? !
