An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

Although it was a false alarm, it still scared Chun Changzai. The next day was supposed to be the time to meet the queen, so Chun Changzai asked Zhen Huan to take sick leave on her behalf.

The queen asked Huichun to bring freshly made seasonal pastries to visit Chun Changzai, but Chun Changzai did not dare to eat any more cakes. When Huichun came back to report, all the concubines happened to be here, so everyone knew that Chun Changzai was interested in the pastries. She is allergic to horseshoe cakes. If she goes to any palace in the future, don't give her horseshoe cakes to eat.

The queen said earnestly: "I am concerned about the safety of all the concubines in the harem. Please remember to pay attention to your living habits. The noble Fu Cha has been ill for some days. The Queen Mother has also been ill for more than half a month a few days ago. Now it is Chun Chang's turn to be here again." Sorry, I hope everyone is safe and free from illness and pain."

Concubine Qi said: "Thank you for your concern, the empress. A few days ago, the third elder brother was also ill, with diarrhea and spots. Fortunately, the imperial doctor in the palace came to see the doctor in time and said he was allergic to mugwort. Fortunately, it was not an epidemic. Minister I can’t sleep well every night.”

The queen said anxiously: "The third elder brother is sick. If you are too busy, please report to me at any time. The prince and princess in this palace are very important to the Queen Mother. Don't make any mistakes and take good care of them." , Don’t be careless at all, if Concubine Qi is busy, you can send Third Brother to me, and I will take care of you."

An Lingrong saw that Concubine Qi's face changed again and again. She had just said something carelessly, but she happened to mention the condition of the concubine in the palace. Concubine Qi used this to express this troublesome matter, as if she was caught by the queen. Article, if it doesn't work, the third elder brother will have to switch to the empress's family. Concubine Qi is the biological mother of the third elder brother. Concubine Qi only has one child like the third elder brother, and the empress has no heirs.

Concubine Hua said quietly: "What the queen said, Concubine Qi is the biological mother of the third elder brother. Naturally, she is more familiar with his living habits, temperament, physical condition, allergies, and taste. If the queen takes her under her banner, she will take care of him." Third brother, how can Concubine Qi be so handy? In the end, she can’t study well, her body and bones are not good, and Queen, you still can’t get Concubine Qi back?"

The queen's eyes darkly said: "It would be great if Concubine Qi can take good care of her. If she can't take care of her well, even if I don't have any objections, the Queen Mother will be concerned about the matter. Maybe the Queen Mother will take the third elder brother back to Shoukang Palace and personally If you keep it, Concubine Qi will only be able to see Third Brother a handful of times."

Concubine Hua glanced at the Queen coldly and said nothing!

Concubine Hua defeated the queen, so the queen moved the queen mother out!

The Queen, Concubine Qi, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Hua kept chatting about the awkward atmosphere, and finally postponed the morning meeting until it was time to break up.

An Lingrong sat there without saying a word, and Xia Ruchun sat next door, interjecting a word or two from time to time. She was wearing a green silk palace dress today, smiling brightly at the Queen, and the Queen also From time to time, he responded to her with a warm smile.

An Lingrong wondered in her heart: When did Xia Ruchun get involved with the queen? Their flirting back and forth, the relationship was so good?

Puzzled, he was puzzled. As soon as he left the Queen's Jingren Palace, An Lingrong wanted to find out.

An Lingrong smiled and asked, "Sister Xia, the clothes you are wearing today are so beautiful. It is made of new material."

Xia Ruchun said proudly: "Sister An, this material is very silky on my body. It was the brocade that the Empress gave me when I first entered the palace. I made a suit and wore it out to show the Empress today. Have you noticed? , the queen keeps looking at me with a smile."

An Lingrong touched the fabric on her body with his hands. The things given by the queen were naturally good things.

In fact, the Empress also rewarded An Lingrong with fabrics, but the colors were different. The one given to Xia Ruchun was green, and the one given to her was pink.

Concubine Hua also rewarded An Lingrong and the deep purple brocade.

There was an unwritten custom in the dynasty that pink represented women who were concubines. Although the Queen was the emperor's main wife, she was originally a concubine in her natal family, and most of the brocades she gave out were pink, and An Lingrong She is the emperor's concubine, so wearing pink is perfectly normal.

Although Concubine Hua was a concubine, the clothes she wore were high-profile. The brocades given to the concubines were mostly large and dark. Red was the color used in the main room. In addition to red, she often presented large flowers to the concubines. Colors like purple and green were given to the concubines, but An Lingrong really didn’t dare to wear them on the show.

In order not to offend Concubine Hua and the Queen, An Lingrong simply collected the brocades of both colors. He still dressed plainly and did not dazzle, at least he would not attract anyone's jealousy.

An Lingrong said: "Congratulations to Sister Xia, the material is smooth and high-quality, just right for this season."

Xia Changzai whispered: "No, the things the Queen has given are much better than those given by the Concubine Hua."

Xia Changzai deliberately lowered his voice, but An Lingrong was stunned when she heard it, because she saw Concubine Hua who had left Jingren Palace before them. She was stopping at the corner with Concubine Jing at such a close distance. , following the wind, I guess I can hear Xia Changzai's voice clearly.

Sure enough, Concubine Hua turned around and stared at Xia Changzai. An Lingrong felt frightened and could not help but stagger a few steps, letting Xia Ruchun walk in front of her. An Lingrong stopped and waited for Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang to arrive. The three of them slowly Move forward step by step.

Xia Changzai slowed down his pace and did not see An Lingrong when he looked back, so he went on his own and passed by Concubine Hua. Shi Shiran blessed Concubine Hua and walked forward. Concubine Hua did not tell her to stop. He sped away without looking back.

An Lingrong discovered that since Xia Changzai dealt with the villain, Fucha Guiren's body bones had inexplicably gotten better, his face was rosy and full, and he was holding a round and bulging bottle in his arms.

An Lingrong asked: "Sister Fucha, what are you talking about?"

Noble Fucha looked a little proud and said in a low voice: "Sister An, this is the bird's nest from the Northern Region that the Queen Mother gave me. I fell ill some time ago. It was the Queen Mother who sent Aunt Jianqiu to inquire about the situation and called the mage outside the palace to come over. Thanks to the method, the Empress and Sister An, my body is back to its original state, and I don’t have to worry about it anymore.”

Because bird's nest is expensive, one dish can be worth ten dishes, so this item must be the first item in the banquet.

An Lingrong took the bird's nest and saw that it was indeed a good thing.

The noble Fucha said: "My sister is a superb cook, but I'm afraid of damaging this valuable thing. Why don't I go back to the palace and give it to my sister. If my sister cooks it, I'll take the second bowl."

An Lingrong smiled and said: "Thank you for your encouragement, sister. However, my sister likes to cook. It's just a hobby, and I can't get on the stage. Take two taels of these bird's nests. If you use Tianquan, soak them in boiling water and remove the black silk. Use tender chicken soup, top-quality ham sausage, and fresh mushrooms to boil in the soup. When the bird's nest turns jade color, it is just right. "

The noble Fucha said: "Then go back to Yanxi Palace, and wait for my sister to wash her hands and make soup!"
