An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

In Tangli Palace, there was a fragrance. An Lingrong added roses and cloves to the incense burner. After the sparks bloomed slightly, the fragrance overflowed.

The atmosphere in Tangli Palace lacked joy and was a bit loose and ordinary.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang chatted about poems and songs word by sentence. An Lingrong listened and wrote down the poems they read, and then racked his brains to add them later.

An Lingrong remembered:

Zhen Huan would secretly write love poems to the emperor, but she finally fell in love with the emperor. The words she said on the day of the alliance are still in her ears. Did she agree that she would not fall in love with the emperor and only wanted to protect his favor?

As time goes by, have you fallen in love?

An Lingrong was convinced that she did not have true feelings for the emperor. She was only defensive in her heart. She just relaxed her vigilance. She needed the emperor's favor to protect herself, but she could not show her affection to the emperor.

As for the newcomer entering the palace, it doesn't stir up much excitement in my heart.

But it's different for Zhen Huan. She is unique in the emperor's heart. Among the beautiful girls in the Imperial Garden yesterday, Gua Liu, who was summoned to bed by the emperor on the first day, is very dazzling, not inferior to Zhen Huan in the slightest. .

Zhen Huan lowered her eyebrows and said softly: "Yesterday, I just took one look at the noble Qi and remembered her. Her body exuded multiple temperaments. Sometimes she was arrogant and domineering, like a concubine, and sometimes she was dignified and noble. Sister, sometimes her dark eyes are downcast like Concubine Kang, sometimes she is lively and agile like a noble person, and when she calms down, she is more graceful and graceful, like Concubine Duan. She is angry, angry, smiling, and has various gestures. The Emperor looks at her from the beginning. to her feet, and never took her eyes off her.”

Shen Meizhuang echoed: "Qi Guiren's skin is really well maintained. The egg white is apple red and tender and tender. To the emperor, it is naturally fresh and attractive. But then again, everyone When you are fresh and young, when the freshness wears off, then it will depend on Mr. Qi's thoughts and methods."

An Lingrong just listened to their conversation quietly. At this moment, she actually had some conflicts in her heart. Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang didn't know anything about Gua Liu, but don't be fooled by her gentle and pleasant appearance. .

An Lingrong turned his head and said softly: "Sister Mei is right, these people have their moments of freshness. It's just that these nobles are all under the Manchu Army Banner. The Queen must have spent a lot of time training them before sending them to the palace. , were also screened. After the fall of Concubine Hua, the queen wanted to win over Cao Guiren and Li Concubine. Unexpectedly, Cao Guiren spared a hand and instead pulled Concubine Qi and Third Brother under her banner. Originally, the queen was still thinking of Xia Ruchun. She was able to compete for her favor with the noble Fucha, and she also spent a lot of time on him. Unfortunately, she happened to be caught doing bad things by the noble Fucha, and the queen's temperament became suspicious. She can't trust Jianqiu and Huichun. These four noble queens are bound to win if they come."

Zhen Huan said: "The emperor still had a good idea and divided these people into various palaces. To win over these people, it depends on each person's methods."

Qi Guiren: "Guar Jiawen Yuan" is nicknamed "Gualiu" --- Chuxiu Palace (the palace where Xin Changzai once lived)

Xiangguiren: "Tongjia's kapok"---Xianfu Palace (the palace where the concubines currently live)

Fuguiren: "Ma Jia's Nanxi" --- Broken Yuxuan

Ruiguiren: "Nala's Shumin" --- Broken Yuxuan

Shen Meizhuang said calmly: "Although the Queen instigates and controls them, the Queen does not want them to give birth to the Emperor's children."

An Lingrong objected: "Sister Mei, Sister Wan, one moment, another moment. The Queen is obviously on guard against us. In addition, Sister Mei has a son, and the Queen herself has been asking famous doctors for treatment, but there is no corresponding effect. It does not rule out the possibility that she would use a new person to conceive and give birth to a child, and then take the person's son or life."

Zhen Huan raised her head and was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "I shudder when I think of the Queen's methods against the rich and noble people. Sister An is right. Now that I think about it, if Chun'er gave birth to a son, I wonder if the Queen will Make a fuss about her son."

Shen Meizhuang's hand paused, the corner of his mouth trembled slightly, and he remained silent. An Lingrong's heart rang with a muffled sound. His heart that had been soft towards the queen began to harden little by little. He seemed to have relaxed his vigilance. Got it! How can you let your guard down? ! It was precisely because of the Queen in the last life that even the last remaining strength to survive in this world was completely consumed, and there was only a thin line between life and death.

An Lingrong put down the brush in his hand heavily, with so many thoughts on his mind that he could no longer concentrate on writing...

Zhen Huan's faint sighing voice could still be heard in her ears: "Oh, this noble Qi has a great background... She is exceptionally beautiful and has a prominent family background. Her father is Gualjia Emin, who wears a yellow flag." He was an important minister in the court, and he worked with his father to deal with Nian Gengyao. With this level of relationship alone, the emperor will definitely take special care of her. "

After the audience with the queen in the palace on the second day, Xia Ruchun mysteriously stepped forward and took An Lingrong's hand: "Now that there is a new person in the palace, I don't want to compete for favors. I have Chunchun, so take good care of her." That’s right, I heard that two of the beautiful ladies who came last time stayed, and the rest were kicked out of the palace.”

An Lingrong smiled slightly and said: "Xia Ruchun, don't be so pretentious. What two beautiful girls were left behind and where they were arranged."

An Lingrong knew it well and was just asking a redundant question. Qin Sanyue paid close attention to the news in the palace. When he went back to Yining Palace to sleep last night, Qin Sanyue came to report that it was the one who "Southuo Luo Shi Ximin" volunteered to go to the laundry. This was also the first time in the harem for many years that he was willing to go to the laundry.

The reason is that "Suochuo Luo Shi Ximin" was originally named a nobleman by the emperor, but then the queen asked her to change her position to "Nala Shishumin". She must have been unwilling to do so, so she stayed at the laundry first and then waited for the opportunity! For some reason, An Lingrong felt that this "Suo Chuo Luo Shi Xi Min" could tolerate it, and that a person from such a family background who was willing to humble himself would be much better than that Qigui man Gua Liu who didn't know the heights of the world. Gua Liu wouldn't even die. Will go to the laundry to do heavy work.

An Lingrong suddenly thought of this "Suo Chuo Luo Shi Xi Min". She looked at it carefully for a few times. He was also as beautiful as a flower and outstanding. He was really overqualified to go to the laundry. Maybe this person was a breakthrough. An Lingrong wanted to win her over. , become a member of your own team.

But what An Lingrong didn't expect was that the information she could get could also be obtained by Cao Guiren. Cao Guiren, the person she paid attention to, didn't let go either. It didn't take long for "Suochuo Luo Shi Ximin" to be the matchmaker of Zhou Ninghai. He fell in love with Cao Guiren, and later "naturally" met the emperor by chance outside Shanglin Garden. He successfully seduced the emperor and was favored and was granted the title of Xi Chang Zai, becoming a member of Cao Guiren's camp.

An Lingrong looked at the "Suochuo Luo Shi Ximin" beside Cao Guiren with a smile and said: "Congratulations to Cao Guiren for adding a new member. The Queen's arrangement is airtight. Cao Guiren is really good at it."

Cao Guiren smiled proudly and said: "Li Bi is interested. I don't want to win anyone's love, but Li Bi is too busy with big and small things. She has to go to the Imperial Pharmacy Department and take care of Xia Ruchun and Chungui is a bunch of ignorant kids, so I will lead this guy first, and from now on, Ximin won’t have to worry about Li Bin.”

Xi Min didn't say much. He gave An Lingrong a slight blessing and followed Cao Guiren away.
