The Queen has arrived: An Lingrong does not want to fight in the palace after her rebirth

In the Yangxin Palace, the emperor summoned the Nian brothers and sisters to have lunch together.

"You have made great contributions in pacifying the northwest and bringing peace to the western frontier. You can be considered my benefactor."

"I have been on the throne for a short time, and the court is not completely stable yet. The princes in the court are ready to make a move. If the border is in chaos, I will be attacked from all sides and it will be difficult for me to take care of everything."

"Your great achievements today not only deserve my heart's praise, but I, my descendants for generations, and all my subjects should also be grateful. If you are unfaithful, you are not my descendants; if you have other intentions, you are not my subjects."

......

Nian Gengyao's pacification of the northwest did make the emperor very happy. After all, with the front line stable, his good brothers in the capital would be more obedient and he would be more secure sitting on the throne. His Nian family praised him generously.

The emperor's kindness made Nian Gengyao somewhat calm at first, and he was able to strictly abide by the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects in his response. But when the emperor said that he was his benefactor, Nian Gengyao recalled his military career over the years, and he felt that he deserved the words "great contribution". Especially when the emperor only talked about relatives and not the monarch and his subjects, he put away his deliberateness and started to act casually.

The same thing happened to Concubine Hua. She was terrified at first. She thought her brother's words and actions were too impolite. She repeatedly hinted to Nian Gengyao not to be so presumptuous, but the emperor always told her that she was too reserved. On the day when the family was reunited, they should be as happy as they can.

The emperor's words about the whole family made Concubine Hua very happy. She looked at the emperor affectionately, then turned to look at her brother opposite her. Yes! She had both the favor and the family background, so she could live more freely. Besides, with her brother's talent, the emperor would never dislike the Nian family. She smiled and drank the wine in the glass.

The emperor saw the reactions of the Nian brothers and sisters one by one. He remained calm and continued to ask Nian Gengyao about the military situation in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Shaanxi. Finally, he agreed to Nian Gengyao's request to let his second son go to the Shersu tribe to quell the rebellion.

After the meal, the Nian brother and sister did not realize the emperor's warning to the Nian family, and instead acted even more high-profile and ostentatious.

At the court, the emperor approved everything Nian Gengyao proposed. In gratitude for his hard work and great contributions, he bestowed on him double-eyed peacock feathers, a robe with four dragon patches, a yellow belt, a purple bridle, and a thousand taels of gold. This was the treatment of a first-class duke. Nian Gengyao was a very high-ranking official at the time, and officials of all ranks in the capital who wanted to see him were like carp crossing the river.

In the harem, Nian Gengyao brought in a stream of jewels and jewelry. Concubine Hua, who always loved wealth and excitement, was dressed up even more expensively. The emperor would go to the Yikun Palace to dine and stay overnight every day, making Concubine Hua's favor even greater than before. No one in the harem dared to challenge her.

Unfortunately, at this time, the Queen took the lead in saving money in the harem, using the excuse that the war had just ended and the treasury was empty. The Emperor praised the Queen's virtue, and the lower-ranking concubines followed suit, causing Concubine Hua to mock the Queen again.

That day, Xiao Xiazi came to Yanxi Palace again to summon him: "My Lady An, please hurry up. The Emperor has a severe headache now, and he won't let the imperial physician come to see him. He is waiting for you to come over and give him some relief."

An Lingrong hurriedly followed Xiao Xiazi, and couldn't help asking a few more questions on the way. Xiao Xiazi lowered her voice and said, "At the court this morning, General Nian submitted a memorial to commend the soldiers in the northwest. The emperor wanted to meet the generals who had made contributions. When they arrived at the palace, the emperor sympathized with the generals' hard work in wearing armor, so he asked them to take off their armor, but they didn't move. It wasn't until General Nian asked them to do so that they were willing to take off their armor. After the court, the emperor had a severe headache. My lady, please be careful and serve me."

An Lingrong was surprised. She didn't understand the affairs of the court, but it was an act of presumption for the soldiers in the army to only obey military orders and disobey the emperor's orders. What she knew was that Nian Gengyao was a good commander of the army and his words were carried out. Those who didn't know thought that Nian Gengyao had evil intentions. What would the emperor think of this matter?

However, the emperor must be very angry, otherwise he would not have summoned her so urgently. An Lingrong asked quietly, "Has Concubine Wan been to the Yangxin Palace recently?"

Xiao Xiazi lowered her voice even more: "Since General Nian returned to the capital, the emperor has never summoned Miss Wan again."

After the Penglai Island incident in her previous life, An Lingrong understood that the Emperor was protecting Zhen Huan. After all, the Nian family was too powerful now. If Zhen Huan was still allowed to accompany the Emperor, Concubine Hua might use this as an excuse to create new trouble, and Zhen Huan would be the one who would be wronged.

When An Lingrong saw the emperor, his face was ashen, his brows were furrowed, and he was half leaning on the couch. The veins on his forehead were standing upright and his temples were throbbing violently. An Lingrong knew that he was in great pain, so she hurried forward to give him a massage.

A quarter of an hour later, the emperor's brows finally relaxed, and he found a comfortable position in An Lingrong's arms and fell asleep.

Still half an hour later, the emperor woke up on time.

An Lingrong asked with concern, "Your Majesty, are you feeling better?"

The emperor stretched his body and spoke softly, "Rong'er has a pair of skillful hands. I feel much better after this. But where does the sweet fragrance on my body come from?"

An Lingrong's expression was filled with concern and a little caution. She spoke softly, "This is the ointment I made recently. It uses lychee seeds, rose flowers and cassia bark. It can regulate qi and relieve pain, relieve depression and calm the mind. I saw that Your Majesty had a severe headache, so I gave it to Your Majesty in a hurry and didn't have time to ask the Imperial Hospital to check it. Please forgive my carelessness."

Relieve depression and calm the mind? The emperor looked at her uneasy face and thought that she was a person who could comfort people. He gently squeezed her hand and said, "You also said that you are worried about me. How can I blame you? Besides, this ointment is really useful. I have to reward you."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, An Lingrong's face was filled with joy and anticipation. She smiled and begged, "Since Your Majesty wants to reward me, I will boldly ask you for a favor."

The emperor's smiling face suddenly showed a thoughtful expression, but he still nodded and asked her to continue.

An Lingrong seemed to have made a great decision and mustered up the courage to speak: "When I want to have some free time, I can go to the Imperial Hospital to read medical books." After saying this, she looked at the emperor timidly.

The emperor thought that this was what she wanted. Thinking that she had always liked to play with flower dew and ointment, and that she was reading medical books in order to become more proficient in this field, he nodded and said, "The Imperial Hospital is full of men, and it is not easy for you to go in and out. So what do you want to see? Just ask the servants to find it for you."

When An Lingrong saw that he agreed, her eyes lit up like stars. She was extremely happy and thanked the emperor: "I thank the emperor for his grace. I know that the emperor treats me the best. When I find a new ointment recipe, I will give it to the emperor first."

The emperor still had government affairs to attend to. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Go find it, little mischievous ghost. I am waiting for your ointment."

Walking out of the Yangxin Palace, An Lingrong smiled. Things should always be done step by step.
