An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

An Lingrong sighed, handed the child to Asang, and asked her to take it back and take good care of it. He sent away Monk Sankong, and then told Xia Ruchun with a serious face that the matter of the child was put on hold for the time being, and the reason was not found out. , and there was no evidence to prove that she was related to Concubine Hua. She told Xia Ruchun to keep an eye on the people who had been in contact with the child and notify her immediately if there was any news.

An Lingrong quickly returned to Yikun Palace. For some reason, the interiors of Yikun Palace had been replaced with new ones, but she still didn't like the name. She wanted to change the name, so she sent Xia Ruchun's daughter's clothes to Ci After Ning Gong was given to Concubine Duan, she went to Yangxin Hall to find the emperor. When the emperor heard that she had changed the name of the palace, he asked her to write down several palace names. An Lingrong liked Bitong Academy, and the emperor said Yuanmingyuan There is already a Bitong Academy, which is difficult to distinguish and the name is inappropriate.

So after thinking about it, An Lingrong simply said: "Then please ask the emperor to give me a name!"

The emperor thought for a while and said: "In principle, the names of the palaces in the harem are all designated by the emperor and cannot be changed. However, due to Concubine Hua's incident, the Yikun Palace was changed. So let's change it to Yining Palace. From now on There is no such thing as Yikun Palace in the harem."

An Lingrong left with satisfaction. The emperor made a new plaque for her and replaced the old one. An Lingrong was still thinking about the Taihang Mountains. She couldn't handle this matter well, but there was one person who could, and that was the queen. An Lingrong asked Xia Ruchun to send the news to the queen's palace by flying pigeons. The queen They sent someone to secretly investigate the matter and found Taihang Mountain. To their surprise, the queen took the child back to the palace to raise her without finding out what was going on.

When Qin Sanyue reported the news to An Lingrong, she was shocked. The queen was worthy of being a queen, and she would not shrink back or be timid in doing things. After dinner, Aunt Jianqiu came to Yining Palace to pass on the Queen's instructions, saying that the Queen asked An Lingrong to go to her palace to check her body. An Lingrong thought that the Queen usually had a special imperial doctor Zhang Mi to check her. Why is there no need to check her body by myself? But the queen sent someone to call her, so how could she refuse to go? Could it be to check the health of the baby girl in Taihang Mountain?

An Lingrong really guessed it. The queen pointed at the sleeping baby in the fluffy rabbit quilt and said softly: "Libin, you must have seen this child before. This is the child from Xia Ruchun. Look, what a cute child!”

An Lingrong's scalp felt numb and he said: "Empress, the origin of this child is unknown, why did you bring her back to the palace? Isn't the Empress afraid of causing trouble?"

The Empress whispered: "Li Bin, I know what you mean. What you mean is that this child was picked up by the abbot. It's unclear. But when you look at her like this, don't you think she looks like the same person?" What?"

An Lingrong shook his head and said: "Empress, please forgive me for my blindness. I can't see. All the babies in this world seem to look similar."

The queen nodded and said: "You can't see it, but I can see it. Even Xia Ruchun can see it. This child looks like Concubine Hua. You see that the emperor misses Concubine Hua very much. If this child is placed in the palace, The emperor will definitely like it if he is brought up without anyone noticing."

An Lingrong asked: "Then what does the Queen intend to do with this child? Although he is being raised in a deep palace, what will happen if the Emperor discovers it sooner or later?"

The queen smiled slightly and said: "This child is of great use. Since Li Bin has seen this child, I don't mind telling you directly. If she grows up one day and is spotted by the emperor, the emperor might like it. If we dote on her and make her a concubine, we will all become old and lustful, but she is different. She is still so young and will definitely be liked by the emperor. If the emperor doesn't like her, she can also be raised in a deep In the palace, enjoy family happiness with us."

An Lingrong felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach and asked: "Has the Queen ever thought about her origin? What if she is a member of the Nian family? If one day she understands her life experience, the Nian family has been executed by everyone. Will she stay in the palace well despite the Nine Clan Zhulian?"

The Queen chuckled and said: "Li Bin, you are overthinking this. This is just an abandoned child who looks a bit like Concubine Hua. The Nian family has been slaughtered by the whole family. Where did the descendants come from? This has been established by the emperor. Got it!"

An Lingrong's scalp was numb. What if someone had tampered with it and someone had slipped through the net? What she could think of was that it was hard to fathom how deep the Queen's palace was. As long as it was valuable, she would not let go of even an infant. No matter how nice she said it, in fact, it was really The reason is that this girl looks like Concubine Hua. If she is raised, she can fight for her favor. If she is not liked by the emperor and is suspected by others or there is evidence to prove that she is a member of the Nian family, she will naturally be beheaded, but It had nothing to do with her, she could even kill her first and tell her later. The emperor killed her one step ahead and reported it to the emperor for credit.

An Lingrong took a deep look at the child. He was sleeping so deeply. What a cute child. His thick eyelashes were shaking slightly. His chubby face made people want to pinch him twice. An Lingrong controlled Stopping her thoughts, she gave the queen a general check and said, "There is nothing wrong with the child. He is healthy."

The queen smiled slightly. She really liked children, and she liked children without parents even more, because no one competed with her, and no one fought with her. It truly belonged to her alone, and she could keep the child if she liked it. If you don't like it, you can still blame it on Concubine Hua. Can't you just say that Concubine Hua cheated on her in Taihang Mountain? How many monks can be captured and beaten into submission, then admit their guilt and then the crime will be established? But Concubine Hua is gone, is it necessary to make such a big move? Isn't she afraid that the emperor will be angry and blame herself?

An Lingrong thought wildly and congratulated her against her will: "Congratulations to the Queen on the birth of a princess. From now on, she will be the Queen's biological princess. I wonder if the Queen has decided on a name?"

The Queen pondered for a moment and said: "This child looks like a rich man, with a fat head and big ears, and bright features. Let's call him Shi San! Keep the name simple!"

An Lingrong said blankly: "Shisan, eh, this name is easy to remember."

The queen ordered: "The child will be raised in the palace first. I haven't thought about this news yet. Should I tell the emperor? The child is still so young, only about one year old, and Concubine Hua has only been practicing in Taihang Mountain for more than a year. The origin is unknown. Let’s find out the origin and then report the situation to the emperor. Li Bin also asks you to tighten your mouth and never reveal the information to anyone again!”

An Lingrong nodded, bowed and retreated, returning to Yining Palace.
