An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

An Lingrong woke up in the morning and enjoyed the faint sunshine in the yard. Suddenly he saw a small stool rushing into the palace. He almost tripped and fell to the ground. In a panic, he grabbed the edge of the door to steady himself.

"My lord, Chun... Chungui, your amniotic fluid has broken."

She jumped up and left Yining Palace. Without looking back, she told Qin Sanyue to take the medicine box to Shai Yuxuan.

The broken jade pavilion was busy but not chaotic. Yu'er leaned closely against Chun'er's side. The midwife in the palace washed her hands in hot water and picked up a pair of sharp scissors.

Several old midwives talked in low voices:

"The fetal position is normal, but her pregnant body is more than 70 pounds heavier than usual. It takes several people to lift her to the bed."

"Chungui is about to turn over. Come on, help her turn her head over first, then turn her legs over, and then move her belly over. The body is too heavy and there is no way."

An Lingrong was a little dumbfounded and joked: "It's all Chun'er's greedy mouth. Now I can't stand up on my own."

Chun'er's face was slightly red, and she couldn't hide her excitement and said: "Sister An, it's the child in the belly who wants to eat. Chun'er is not greedy, but they are."

An Lingrong, Zhen Huan, and Shen Meizhuang waited all night. After a day and a night, Sui Yuxuan finally welcomed the newborn's first cry. The sister who came out in front cried loudly, and the sister who came out behind had a purple body due to suffocation. Lingrong and Wen Shichu tried their best to save her, but they were still unable to save her.

A pair of twins, one of whom died just after birth, made the remaining child particularly precious. The emperor personally gave her a nickname: Lian'er, and Chun'er gave her a nickname: Bao'er.

The innocence in Chun'er's eyes disappeared, and she seemed to grow up overnight. She became quiet, no longer noisy, and no longer laughed heartlessly.

The children who were conceived together shared the same heartbeat, but had different fates. Fortunately, she was optimistic. While regretting the loss of a child, she also felt the joy of becoming a mother for the first time. She lowered her head and pressed her face against Lian'er.

The queen brought Jianqiu, Huichun and Liu Gan to see Chun'er. She hung a pair of yellow gold locks on Lian'er's chest and warned her with concern: "Chun Gui, from now on we will all be mothers." But you have to behave like a mother. You can no longer go to the imperial garden to catch insects and ants, and you can no longer play in the Thousand Carp Pond unless you have something to do. From now on, you must not only take care of yourself, but also take care of your children."

Chun'er nodded seriously and took the initiative to hand Lian'er into the queen's hand.

The queen was pleased and said: "Mr. Liu Fan did not misdiagnose. The child did have abnormalities. Fortunately, one of them survived."

Chun'er was silent for a while and said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Queen Mother, for the gift you gave Lian'er. Chun'er will take good care of her."

The child cried "Wow" in the queen's arms. An Lingrong was shocked, and Zhen Huan stepped forward to grab the child.

The queen waved her hand and said: "If you give me a hug again, what can happen to such a young child? It's just crying when he's hungry, thirsty, or about to sleep. Look at this little mouth, he must be hungry. "

Chun'er's eyes turned red, she hugged the child and pretended to coax the child, but the child kept crying. Chun'er threw the child on the quilt and started crying first. Her crying annoyed the newborn baby. The child stopped crying, opened his eyes and looked at her blankly.

The queen smiled slightly, ordered the old woman to feed the child, explained the matters during the confinement period, and left with the people.

On the second day, An Lingrong came down from the imperial pharmacy and was intercepted by Aunt Jianqiu. The queen summoned her.

In Jingren Palace, there was a strange man carrying a medicine box, and the emperor who had gone down to court was also there.

It turned out that the queen found a famous doctor outside the palace to check and adjust her body, and also asked An Lingrong to check her.

An Lingrong carefully checked her pulse and reported the truth to the Queen. The Queen's basic physical constitution had been seriously damaged, and she was afraid that she would not be able to have children in this life. In addition, she was old and it was difficult to get pregnant. Even if she became pregnant, it would be difficult to give birth.

The queen sighed softly, unable to hide her disappointment, but still asked Aunt Jianqiu to bring out a jade Ruyi and reward it to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong was about to refuse because he had no merit. Unexpectedly, the emperor picked up the jade and said: "This is what I will give to the queen. It has been a long time. Su Peisheng, go to the treasury to pick out a night-light pearl that has just been paid as tribute and reward it." Come on, Li Bin!"

The queen clenched her silver teeth, her face darkened, but she tried not to lose her temper.

The queen smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, it's time for a new member to be added to the palace. I mentioned this matter to the Emperor a long time ago."

The emperor waved the prayer beads in his hand and said: "If this matter is postponed for a while, the queen can arrange it. There is no need for a large-scale draft. My energy is limited, and the old concubines in the palace can handle it." If you don’t come, if there are new people entering the palace, the emperor can just select a few who have good family backgrounds, look pleasing to the eye, and are lucky.”

The queen smiled and said: "In the past, the emperor would personally look at the beautiful women, but since the concubine entered the palace, the emperor has not even looked at it. The concubine has been thinking about it for many years. The emperor is afraid that he will get bored with a single type of women. If there are one or two alternative concubines in this palace, the emperor will feel different. Maybe it can make the emperor happy and make him happy at the same time."

The emperor squinted his eyes slightly and said: "The unusual beauty of the small eyes, small nose and small mouth that the queen recommended last time? I can't appreciate it. How can those slits in my eyes fit such a burly body like mine? , I still have the power of the Qing Dynasty behind me, so you must choose bigger eyes, small ones are not appropriate."

The queen explained: "Your Majesty, although that woman's facial features are small, she has a round face, big ears, and fleshy cheeks. Her eyes are not the ordinary narrow and small ones, but round and thin, and she has double eyelids. This kind of woman At first glance, it is not conspicuous, but the more you look at it, the more charming it becomes. This kind of person has a prosperous face, which is a blessing."

The emperor impatiently threw up his beads and said, "As long as the queen is satisfied!"

The emperor's casual words gave the queen a lot of room to express herself.

The queen originally recommended only four women of the right age among the family members of the heroes to enter the palace.

But in the end, there were forty-eight of them presented to the emperor.

The queen wanted the emperor to review and select in person, and the emperor was speechless.

But the emperor is the emperor, and he stopped reading if he didn’t want to.

The queen then thought of a way to pick a good day with sunny weather and gather people in the square outside the imperial garden.

An Lingrong just didn't have to go to the Imperial Pharmacy Department, so she asked Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, Chun'er, and Xia Ruchun to go to the Imperial Garden to see them.

An Lingrong saw that Concubine Qi, Concubine Jing, Concubine Cao, Concubine Li were all here, and Concubine Kang who had not been seen for a long time was also here. Several tables and chairs were arranged in front of the show ladies. The emperor lazily looked at this group of red and green figures with a slight frown. He didn't show much joy, but the queen kept pointing her fingers with interest. People, constantly introduced to the emperor.

The emperor was probably upset after hearing this. He whispered a few words to Su Peisheng, then twisted the beads in his hand and looked at him casually. The queen also noticed it and stopped talking.

The scene was truly colorful, with beauties galore, and countless dancers and singers. Many of them were filled with joy, excitement, and surprise, and felt fresh about everything around them.
