An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

The emperor said that he would find an opportunity to gather the princes and princes together to create opportunities for Liu Zhu, but the emperor turned around and forgot about the matter. An Lingrong did not want to mention this matter again. Repeatedly mentioning old things seemed like he did it deliberately, which would make the emperor doubtful.

An Lingrong decided to suppress the matter and look for opportunities to help Liu Zhu ascend the throne as time went by. Liu Zhu seemed to have something on his mind since he told her last time and tried his best to hide it. An Lingrong knew that Liu Zhu was attracted, and that was true. Who wouldn't want to find a better place for themselves?

The days of flowing water passed quietly for more than a month. During this month, due to the stalemate between Ce Ling and Zhen Heng, the two sides fought a protracted war. The war was very expensive. The emperor was worried all day long and summoned fewer people. The concubines in the harem, the emperor went to see the queen, the queen mother, concubine Hui, concubine Wan, himself, concubine Xiang, concubine Li, and concubine Jing. The emperor spent the rest of the time in Kunning Palace meeting with the courtiers and discussing national affairs. My thoughts gradually shifted.

Until one day two weeks later, An Lingrong received a message from Eunuch Su and was ordered to accompany the emperor in the Yangxin Hall. As soon as she saw the emperor, the emperor immediately put down the pen in his hand, came forward, and hugged him happily. An Lingrong got up and turned around a few times before he stopped and said: "Lipin, I won another battle. This time I mobilized a large number of men and troops and caught Ce Ling off guard. I guess he has a good chance." A period of rest to wait for his reinforcements to arrive, which will be five days later. The battle forced Ce Ling to retreat for more than a hundred kilometers and regained a lot of lost ground. "

An Lingrong congratulated: "Congratulations to the emperor, it must be sister Wan's brother who has made great contributions. I am happy for the emperor."

The emperor put her down and said, "Well, it's not all the fault of Zhen Heng alone. I appointed other troops to attack with Zhen Heng. It's my plan that's meritorious. Li Bin, you should praise me."

An Lingrong smiled and said: "Yes, yes, it is all the emperor's great contribution. The emperor is wise, the emperor is really powerful!"

An Lingrong took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, what you said about Liu Zhu last time, Liu Zhu has been looking forward to it every day!"

The emperor chuckled and said: "You see, when I got busy, I actually forgot about this matter. It is a small matter. Tomorrow, I will invite Prince Guo, Prince Qinghe, Prince Heng, Prince Dun and other princes to come over and have a chat with me. Liu Zhu will meet for a while. By the way, this Prince Dun is not a good person. If he likes Liu Zhu, I will definitely not agree. I called Prince Dun to come because all the princes have called. It is impossible. Regarding him, he was the only one left out, and he was called to support the number of people. "

An Lingrong smiled with satisfaction, gently put his hands on the emperor's shoulders, and massaged them in order, making the emperor feel comfortable.

In early autumn and September, the green lotuses were still in full bloom. The emperor held a banquet by the lotus pond. He invited all the young and unmarried princes to the old and retired princes to enjoy the lotus flowers. As usual, King Qinghe accompanied the emperor. Playing chess, Prince Guo and Huanbi happily teased the goldfish by the lotus pond.

An Lingrong had given Liu Zhu a breath in advance, but Zhen Huan didn't know what was going on. She only felt that Liu Zhu was dressed extraordinarily pretty and charming today. Although she was dressed as a palace maid, she used the incense specially made for her by An Lingrong. The fragrance overflowed wherever she passed, and with the alluring Zhen Huan leading the way, she attracted everyone's attention for a moment, and even the emperor couldn't help but take a second look at her.

"Concubine Wan, you are here, concubine Hui is also here. Come, come, come and play a few games of chess with me. King Qinghe, there can be no more draws in this game. Whoever loses will be offline first. In other words, Everyone takes turns. "The emperor knows that King Qinghe is very skilled in chess, but he will never win the emperor's chess openly. If he wants to win, he will only win one step, and if he loses, he will only lose one step. There is no such coincidence in this world. The emperor must understand the reason for this.

Guan Concubine and Hui Concubine wanted to accompany the emperor to play chess, and King Guojun also gathered around. Huanbi and Liuzhu exchanged a few polite words, then came to the side of King Guo, and together they quietly watched the emperor and King Qinghe play chess. , the emperor raised his head from the crowd, glanced at Liu Zhu and said: "Li Bin, if you have nothing to do, you have nothing to do. Go and introduce me."

The emperor did not name him, but An Lingrong knew it well, so she took Qin Sanyue, Qiaoyu, Liuzhu, and Juqing to walk along the lotus pond. They met the princes one by one and recommended Liuzhu to them. Arriving in front of him, he held her hand and walked gracefully. The fragrance of Liu Zhu's body attracted many glances.

Lin Qing couldn't help but sniffed and said, "Liu Zhu smells so good, can you all smell it?"

Qi Guiren said disdainfully: "Taking advantage of this occasion, dressing up so coquettishly and applying perfume, I must be trying to seduce the prince present."

The concubine Xiang lowered her voice and said: "Your Majesty Qi, look at what you said. Look at Huanbi and Liuzhu entering the palace at the same time. Huanbi has found a good place to go. If Liuzhu can seduce the prince, it will be hers." What are you talking about behind the scenes? In the palace, Lin Changzai has no thoughts. He has been in the palace for such a long time, but he is still a constant. If Liuzhu can gain some momentum, the emperor may like it and he can be named Changzai as soon as he turns around. Now, he will be on an equal footing with Lin Changzai."

Qi Guiren and Lin Changzai looked at each other and stopped talking, with uncomfortable expressions on their faces.

Walking from one side of the lotus pond to the other, and reaching the end, An Lingrong asked quietly: "Liu Zhu, have you looked at all the princes carefully? Is there any one you like? If you like it, Which prince can tell me? I will talk to the emperor."

Liu Zhu's face turned red and said: "Empress Libin, I don't dare to take a closer look. I just took a general look and couldn't see any mystery!"

An Lingrong chuckled and said, "Liu Zhu is dressed very charmingly today, and he has a special fragrance, which will definitely attract the attention of the princes."

The two most upright young princes in the palace, one is Prince Guo of Huanbi, the other is Prince Qinghe who is not yet married, and the elderly Prince Dun and Prince Heng, or some who are still young. The little prince.

An Lingrong thought about it for Liu Zhu, and the most suitable person was King Qinghe. However, King Qinghe was an insulator. He said righteously that he would never marry again in his life, because the nine sons who had taken over the throne had dealt him a huge blow. , I still have psychological shadow to this day.

An Lingrong led Liu Zhu into the crowd, showed his face, and then returned to Huan Bi. Liu Zhu and Huan Bi had not seen each other for a long time, holding each other's hands, laughing and whispering, while An Lingrong paid attention When she arrived, Prince Guo's eyes never left Zhen Huan, they kept wandering around her body, his mind suddenly wandering.

The emperor defeated King Qinghe in another move. He was very interested and raised his head happily. He accidentally caught a glimpse of King Guojun looking at Zhen Huan in a daze. The emperor coughed in displeasure and said: "Junguo King, how could you look at my concubine so boldly? I will punish you."

Prince Guo looked away in surprise. Zhen Huan realized it, her face turned red, and she lowered her head pretending to be fine. Prince Guo half-joked, "Brother, I just want to see what Wan Bi and Huan Bi are like." If there were any similarities, I took a few more looks and found the differences with Huanbi.”

The emperor wondered: "Wanbi is originally a blood sister to Huanbi. They are mostly similar. I wonder what differences the seventeenth brother discovered?"

Prince Guo pretended to be surprised and said, "Brother, I see that this concubine looks very much like an old friend in the palace, very similar to an old friend of the Emperor's side."

The emperor shouted in a low voice and said: "Okay, I understand. It's nothing. Shut your mouth. I know your flute sounds beautiful. You might as well play a song for me to hear. Have you made any progress?"

Prince Guo pulled out the flute from his body and put it to his mouth. The melodious sound of the flute shocked people. An Lingrong looked sideways and suddenly saw that Zhen Huan also had a flute on her waist, which was the same as the one in Prince Guo's hand. That one is very similar.

The emperor soon noticed. An Lingrong only heard a slight cold snort coming from the emperor's nostrils. The emperor was probably jealous.

The emperor raised his eyes to look at An Lingrong, but his eyes fell on Liu Zhu beside An Lingrong. He glanced at Huanbi lightly and shouted loudly: "Wanbi, who are you calling, Liu Zhu? Liu Zhu come over and give me a squeeze on my shoulders, my neck is sore."
