An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

Chun'er slept with the emperor unscathed and was promoted to a noble one night. After being ridiculed by Cao Guiren for catching ants in the imperial garden last time, she came to Yikun Palace instead of going to the imperial garden and begged An Lingrong to use medicinal powder to drive them away. Insects and ants. An Lingrong couldn't resist Chun'er, so he made a packet of powder to repel insects and ants and gave it to Chun'er, and watched her sprinkle the powder on the rain-wet soil that was drying quickly. Chun'er then happily went to the Yanxi Palace to find the noble Fucha. At a young age, she was still very innocent. In this harem, in her eyes, except for Concubine Hua, who was a heinous villain, everyone else They are all good people. Just because Concubine Hua's badness can be seen with the naked eye, and there are turbulent undercurrents hidden underground, Chun'er said that she only believed in her own eyes, and things she didn't see could not be counted. In her eyes, a wealthy and noble person She was supposed to be a good person, but after losing her child and becoming mute, Chun'er felt more pity for her.

The noble Fucha took Lanxin to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers. Lanxin fumbled with her hands, holding the flowers that Chun'er had picked for her, and smelled them again and again, feeling very satisfied. An Lingrong talked about this matter as a joke in Tangli Palace. It happened that the emperor came to Tangli Palace and presented Zhen Huan with new varieties of begonia flowers. When he heard about this, he asked Su Peisheng to declare Chun again. When Chun'er went to bed, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were both happy for Chun'er, but accidents always came out of nowhere. It was a sunny day but thunder broke out on the ground.

Chun'er happily went to the Yangxin Hall to sleep all night. After breakfast the next morning, An Lingrong invited Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and others to meet the Queen. Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, he could vaguely feel the Queen's expression. It was so right that An Lingrong didn't think about it. Anyway, Xia Ruchun in the palace had gone to Taihang Mountain, and her daughter had been sent to Concubine Duan who was staying at home. The mute Fucha nobleman was in a good mood and came to pay his respects to the queen. If you're not in a good mood, don't come to pay your respects to the Queen. This is something the Queen has approved on her own in front of all the concubines. Often the seat of the noble Fu Cha is empty, and the seat of Xia Ruchun is also empty. The concubines come one after another. , but Chun'er didn't see the shadow, and An Lingrong felt uneasy.

When she first went to Tangli Palace to call Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan said that Chun'er had gone to Yangxin Palace for one night, but logically she would be sent back to Suiyuxuan before breakfast. The emperor had to attend the morning court, and Chun'er also There was no reason to snooze in the Yangxin Palace. Even if she wanted to snooze, the servants in the palace would wake her up.

The queen glanced at An Lingrong lightly and said softly: "Okay, everyone is here. This noble Fucha is physically handicapped. It's not her fault if he doesn't come to invite An Bengong after the emperor's approval. Xia noble has gone to the Taihang Mountains." Cultivation, everything that should come has come, so let’s have a good chat!”

Cao Guiren asked: "Queen, where is that Chun Gui Ren? Why are you raising your arrogance just now after being granted the title of noble? It's so late and there is still no sign of him."

Concubine Qi couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Cao, what kind of noble man is Chungui? He is a child who has not grown up yet. The emperor is also soft-hearted. Chun Chang promoted himself to a nobleman with such a slight fuss. He has not yet served as a nobleman." Go to bed, when I saw Mr. Chungui yesterday, the gonggong sand on my hand was still fine."

The queen smiled softly, obviously agreeing with what Concubine Qi said, and said: "Okay, it's just a child. Speaking of this Chungui man, he just got sick and didn't know how to control his temper. He was punished by the emperor to be imprisoned for three months early this morning. , the emperor also imprisoned her in the Palace of Prayer, which was the first case since the Qing Dynasty. If the noble people want to make trouble, just go and make trouble with the nuns and priests in the Palace of Prayer. Children who will not grow up, luckily they meet When we get to the emperor, the emperor is tolerant."

An Lingrong was shocked. Seeing Zhen Huan's expression suddenly changed, Cao Guiren and Qi Fei looked at each other and smiled disdainfully. She didn't know why Chun'er was punished by the emperor!

Three months of confinement was quite serious, and for the young Chun'er, it must have touched the emperor's nerves.

After coming out of the Queen's Jingren Palace, An Lingrong took Qin Yueyue, Zhen Huan and Liu Zhu to the Palace of Prayer, while Shen Meizhuang went to the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace to visit the Queen Mother. Although the Queen Mother's condition had improved, she had not yet recovered. recover completely.

As soon as Chun'er saw Zhen Huan and An Lingrong, she couldn't help crying and said while crying: "Sister Wan, Sister An, why am I so unlucky!"

Zhen Huan quickly wiped away her tears, and Liu Zhu opened the basket and showed it to her: "Look, Chun'er, we brought some cakes made by An Gui people, eat them quickly!"

Chun'er smiled before she wiped the tears off her face, grabbed the cake and stuffed it into her mouth. An Lingrong quickly persuaded her, telling her to eat slowly and not to choke.

After Chun'er was full and her tears were gone, a few people chose a clean spot in the small garden outside and sat down. Chun'er said with full of grievance: "Last night, well, yesterday Chun'er went to Yangxin with the emperor. When I was sleeping in the palace, the emperor did not bring pastries this time, but dumplings. Before I had dinner, I played leaf cards with the emperor again. Sister Wan, Sister An, and Sister Mei taught me leaf cards last time. I actually won several games, but they were all dumplings. I didn’t want to eat those dumplings. The emperor said that you should not be picky about what you eat, otherwise you will be malnourished and will not grow taller, so I reluctantly ate one plate. I couldn’t eat it and I didn’t bother to beat the leaves. After the cards were drawn, the emperor went to review the papers and asked me to go to sleep on the dragon bed alone to warm him up."

Zhen Huan said in confusion: "Chun'er, these are very common and normal things, but why does the emperor punish you with three months of confinement? Is this a serious punishment for violating palace regulations?"

Chun'er paused for a moment and said, "Sister, listen first, let me finish what I have to say first." After that, she cried again.

An Lingrong advised: "Don't cry, don't cry, speak slowly and don't be in a hurry."

Chun'er took a breath and continued: "Later, I fell asleep. I don't know how long I slept, and then I fell asleep and had nightmares."

Chun'er patted her chest and said, "Do you two sisters know who I dreamed about?"

Qin Sanyue said: "Chungui, please tell me, stop showing off!"

Chun'er nodded and said, "I dreamed about Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua chased me in my dream and grabbed my collar. Fortunately, I ran fast and she didn't catch up. Then I talked in my sleep."

An Lingrong's heart tightened. It turned out that Chun'er had a nightmare and was tricked by the emperor.

Emperor: Why is Concubine Hua chasing you?

Chun'er: It was my fault that I pretended to be a ghost to scare you last time, but you're not crazy either. It's just because of your hard work, Empress Li.

Just such a sentence made the emperor very angry. He pinched Chun'er's nose tightly to wake her up, and asked about the matter in detail. Chun'er had to tell her why he pretended to be a ghost to scare Concubine Hua. It was Concubine Hua who bullied Zhen Huan, but Chun'er couldn't stand it and wanted to scare her.

The emperor asked Chun'er to get up from the bed at that time, and asked Su Peisheng to stand under the window sill in her thin pajamas. He asked Su Peisheng to send Chun'er to the Palace of Prayer at dawn, where she would kneel down and copy scriptures and pray for blessings. The punishment period was three months.
