An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

Lin Qing was originally just a Chang Zai who had just gained the emperor's favor, and it didn't take long before he attracted the attention of the concubines in the palace.

Empress, Concubine Hua tried to win her over, but nothing came of it. It wasn't until something happened in the palace that things took a turn for the better.

War continued in the northwest. Nian Gengyao said that the enemy asked us to contribute the most beautiful concubines in the palace. Not only did he retreat and make peace, he was also willing to surrender.

Nian Gengyao meant that he had lost thousands of soldiers because of a woman, and the gains outweighed the losses, so he wrote a letter to persuade the emperor.

The emperor was angry. Isn't this a naked humiliation?

The emperor came to Jingren Palace and held a morning meeting with everyone. In front of all the concubines, he angrily criticized Nian Gengyao for his inability to suppress the enemy.

An Lingrong sat below and said nothing.

The enemy specified that they wanted the emperor's favorite concubine, so naturally they didn't want her. So which one is the emperor's favorite concubine?

The queen pondered: "Your Majesty, the other party is deliberately making things difficult. Could it be that General Nian suffered a defeat?"

Concubine Hua said dissatisfied: "Queen, if you don't know, you can't make random guesses. How can my brother lose the battle?"

The emperor said expressionlessly and impatiently: "Stop arguing, it's making me upset. Nian Gengyao is adding fuel to the fire! The war hasn't even started yet. The other party has sent people to negotiate peace with Nian Gengyao. As long as the conditions are agreed upon, , there is no need to fight.”

Concubine Hua counted on her fingers: "Your Majesty, the cost of marching and fighting is calculated, including weapons, rations, and daily necessities. It would be great if the war could be stopped. My brother wouldn't have to work so hard day and night."

The emperor said calmly: "Since Concubine Hua agrees, let's see who is my most beloved concubine. Pick one out and send it to the battlefield today."

Concubine Hua held her breath, and the queen was silent. Concubine Li and Cao Guiren lowered their heads. Wan Chang had a look of indifference on his face, and Xia Ruchun also lowered his head.

Everyone remained silent, but one person had to be chosen to deal with it.

An Lingrong saw clearly that Concubine Hua winked at Cao Guiren. Cao Guiren stood up, pointed at Xia Ruchun and said:

"Your Majesty, the enemy wants the Emperor's favorite concubine. I see that Xia Changzai is beautiful and has a temper that the Queen likes. The most suitable person is Xia Changzai."

Xia Ruchun's face changed with fright, and she quickly stood up with the hem of her clothes, and knelt down in front of the emperor with a "plop". Her eyes were red and she said: "Your Majesty, I want to stay with you in the harem. I want to serve the emperor and you in the future." Queen, I don’t want to go anywhere.”

The emperor said nothing.

Cao Guiren said calmly: "Xia Chang is here. The Emperor and the Queen are with us, so you can rest assured that the enemy will not cause Xia Chang Zai much trouble."

Concubine Hua glared at Cao Guiren unhappily. Obviously, Cao Guiren was not talking about her favorite candidate.

How could the shrewd Cao Guiren not understand Concubine Hua's thoughts, but with the emperor here and lending Cao Guiren a thousand courages, she did not dare to openly point the finger at Wan Changzai.

An Lingrong probably guessed that this was probably a good show directed and performed by Concubine Hua.

Just when everyone was having trouble making a decision, a light green figure stood up sitting in the last corner. She said calmly but firmly: "Your Majesty, I'll go!"

An Lingrong raised his eyes and saw Lin Qing.

Concubine Hua's eyes flashed, and her expression immediately returned to normal.

There was no expression on Lin Qing's face, and there was a hint of violence in his pale eyes.

Concubine Qi snorted softly and said: "Lin Changzai, you are so good at putting gold on your face. The emperor has just favored you, and you really think that you have become the emperor's favorite concubine."

Concubine Qi turned to Concubine Hua and said: "Your Majesty, concubine, look, the one who is most favored by the Emperor in this harem is Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua lives in the most magnificent palace in the entire harem, and is also in charge of the Sixth Palace. The power, Queen, what do you think?"

The queen smiled knowingly and said, "Concubine Qi is right. Your Majesty, I also think that the enemy wants Concubine Hua."

Concubine Hua was also afraid of being attacked by Concubine Qi and the Queen. She lowered her eyes, calmed down her expression, and said calmly: "If the emperor thinks so, then I will admit it. But if the emperor sends the concubine to the front line, I wonder what my brother would think?"

The emperor was upset and said: "How can my concubine be sent for marriage? Isn't this a joke that makes people laugh at the Qing Dynasty? How is it possible! The purpose of today's morning meeting is to ask Concubine Hua to write a letter to persuade Nian. Gengyao, this battle must not only be fought, but also won with dignity."

Seeing the emperor's resolute attitude, Concubine Hua turned her eyes, glanced at Lin Qing and said: "Your Majesty, I see that Lin Changzai is a smart man and is willing to go to the front line to explore the truth. I don't know what the emperor's intention is, so why not send Lin Changzai away?" While going to deliver the business, let my brother find out the details of the other party so that he can give the other party a blow."

An Lingrong understood. What Concubine Hua meant was to send Lin Qing on an errand. As for Lin Qing's life or death, that had nothing to do with her.

Seeing that Concubine Hua insisted on this, the emperor acquiesced and left Jingren Palace without saying a word.

When leaving Jingren Palace, Concubine Hua took Lin Qing away. An Lingrong clearly heard Concubine Hua asking her.

Concubine Hua asked in a low voice: "Lin Changzai, why did you apply to go to the front line?"

Lin Qing responded: "Empress Hua, I don't want to live such a life of dreams and dreams. If I have the opportunity to go to the front line and share the emperor's worries, I feel that life is more meaningful. I don't work as hard as the empress. I stay in the palace all day long." I have nothing to do, and the thought of spending my whole life like this makes me panic."

Concubine Hua nodded.

An Lingrong thought: This Lin Qing seems to be silent and low-key on weekdays, but today he showed a bit of courage.

It's just that the anger between her eyebrows is very strong, which does not diminish Concubine Hua. If she is used by Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua will definitely add to her expectations.

The news was delivered by Nian Gengyao. I don't know what kind of medicine they are selling in the gourd.

Lin Qing went to Yikun Palace, dressed up, and under the guidance of Concubine Hua, met the emperor and said goodbye to the queen mother.

Lin Qing followed the carriage out of the Forbidden City.

Just as the concubines in the harem let out a sigh of relief, Lin Qing was escorted out of the city gate by the emperor and the concubines not long after.

He came back in a carriage and brought back a personal letter from the enemy.

The emperor asked Su Peisheng to open the letter and read:

Our entire army admires the most beautiful woman of the Qing Dynasty, the most beautiful woman in the country. We want more than just the most beautiful concubines in the harem.

She is also the emperor's favorite concubine, her name is---Zhen Huan!

The emperor's face was furious. He stepped forward on foot and took the letter from Su Peisheng's hand. His eyes were as cold as ice as he stared at the words on the letter.

"These shameless people don't want me to give in." The emperor returned to the palace angrily.

Since Nian Gengyao sent Lin Qing back, the relationship between Lin Qing and Concubine Hua has taken a further step.

No matter what happened, Lin Qing would always run to Concubine Hua's palace.

The emperor did not agree to send Wan Changzai away, but the queen was ready to take action. Concubine Hua fanned the fire and alarmed the queen mother.

The Queen Mother actually came to Sui Yuxuan in person, and treated Wan Chang Zai with kindness and power, inducement, begging, and persuasion.

An Lingrong looked at Wan Chang Zai's angry and anxious look, and said a few words to help her: "The Queen Mother, Sister Wan must also want to serve the Qing Dynasty and share the emperor's worries. It's just that if Sister Wan goes, , can the emperor be at peace with himself? The emperor is the one who won’t let Sister Wan go now."

Wan Chang said with an upright and polite face: "Mother Queen Mother, General Su Wennian has made great achievements in battle and killed everyone. The enemy wants to marry the emperor's concubines in broad daylight. This is so absurd and detrimental to the reputation of the Qing Dynasty. How could General Nian agree to his behavior?"

The Queen Mother, who didn't know the truth, was confused when she heard it, and she also thought it was ridiculous.
