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

Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. The Queen has been waiting for the Emperor in Jingren Palace for two days.

On the first day, she thought that the Emperor had just returned and Concubine Wan was pregnant, so she should go to see her. However, she received the news that the Emperor appointed Concubine Wan as a concubine, and asked her to make arrangements in time and complete the ceremony with Concubine Jing.

The next day, she was still alone in the empty room. She thought that maybe the previous dynasty was too busy and couldn't take care of her for a while.

Today is the night of the full moon. In every dynasty, it is the day when the emperor and empress reunite. The empress asked the palace maids to prepare early in the morning.

Before dinner, Su Peisheng came, and Jianqiu and Huichun were both very happy.

Even the Queen's eyes were filled with anticipation: "But does the Emperor have any instructions?"

Su Peisheng didn't dare to meet the Queen's gaze and lowered his head: "The Emperor sent me here to convey his order. The Emperor will not celebrate tonight."

The Queen's eyes dimmed instantly, and she panicked and tried to find excuses for the Emperor: "Did Concubine Hua invite the Emperor to dinner? Or is the Emperor unwell?"

Su Peisheng whispered, "The Emperor said that Concubine Wan is pregnant, so he rushed to see Concubine Wan after finishing his government affairs. Please ask the Queen to rest early."

The Queen forced a smile and said, "That is only natural. Lady Wan is intelligent and is the best at understanding the emperor's heart. Huichun, please go to the storehouse and select two jade ruyi for Lady Wan to use as pillows."

Su Peisheng couldn't bear to stay in Jingren Palace any longer, so he hurriedly said goodbye.

After the people left, the queen sat on the couch dejectedly, not saying a word for a long time.

In the Sui Yu Xuan, insects were chirping at night. Zhen Huan was very upset and lay on the bed unable to fall asleep:

"It's still early, Your Majesty, please go to the Empress's palace and rest."

"It doesn't matter" The emperor said these three words. I wonder if he meant it doesn't matter tonight, or that it doesn't matter to him that the queen doesn't matter?

Zhen Huan did not dare to think too much and continued to persuade: "Your Majesty should not miss the full moon night with the Queen because of me."

The emperor said stubbornly: "I want to be with the person I love, no matter when."

Zhen Huan was very happy to hear from the Emperor that he liked her, but she was still worried that what happened tonight would upset the Empress, so she continued, "But the Empress treats me well, and I don't want the Empress to be sad."

The emperor agreed reluctantly this time: "Okay, then I will have lunch with the queen tomorrow. After lunch, you come over and discuss the canonization with the queen."

The Emperor was in a dilemma. He had wanted to use Zhen Huan's promotion to allow her to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager in her palace. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager claimed to be ill and did not want to see Zhen Huan. His Empress Dowager's temper was as stubborn as it was in the past. It was difficult to change her mind, just like her attitude towards him and his fourteenth brother.

The Empress Dowager couldn't go anywhere, so he could only settle for the next best thing and let the Empress do more work. Thinking of this, the Emperor fell into a deep sleep.

Zhen Huan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

The Queen felt that the night in Jingren Palace was too quiet. She placed her hand on the Emperor's usual pillow, hoping to absorb some warmth from it, but it was icy cold to the touch. However, she was reluctant to let go and just wanted to grab more.

On the second day, the Queen finally met the Emperor whom she had not seen for many days, and the two had a silent lunch.

After the meal, the Queen had many things to say to the Emperor, but seeing the Emperor's impatient look, her words of concern turned into routine reports: "Your Majesty, I think that Concubine Wan is having her first child, so she needs an experienced aunt to take care of her. I dare to ask Fangruo in front of the Emperor to go to Suiyuxuan to take care of Concubine Wan until she gives birth."

"The Queen is very thoughtful. Fangruo has taken care of Chunyuan before. I feel relieved to have her around. Su Peisheng, go and pass on the order. Ask Fangruo to pack up and come over directly later."

The Queen was wondering why Fangruo was asked to come over when Huichun came to inform her that Concubine Wan had come to pay her respects.

The queen looked at the emperor, whose expression suddenly calmed down, and felt sad, but she still smiled: "The emperor and Concubine Wan are in sync."

The emperor laughed dryly and said, "It's sunny outside, please come in."

Zhen Huan entered the palace and was about to perform the formalities, but was stopped by the Queen: "You are pregnant now, why do you still need to go through all these formalities as a family?"

The Queen took the initiative, but the Emperor did not blame her for being rude. Instead, he looked at Zhen Huan with burning eyes and said, "The Queen is right. You should be careful in everything. Don't pay attention to these empty formalities when no one is around."

Zhen Huan hurriedly said, "I am terrified. Your Majesty and the Empress love me, but I dare not lose my manners."

The emperor's expression softened: "The queen is good at leading the harem, Huanhuan, just sit down and relax."

Seeing that Zhen Huan was still observing etiquette, the Queen smiled sincerely: "The Concubine Wan knows etiquette, so I feel particularly sorry for her." Then she changed the subject and said to Zhen Huan:

"The sun is shining outside. If you have anything to do, just ask someone to come over. Why bother coming here yourself?"

Before Zhen Huan could answer, the Emperor rushed to say, "I asked her to come here. I want to ask how the preparations for the enthronement ceremony are going."

"I was just about to report that the Ministry of Rites has prepared everything, except for one thing. The consecration of Lady Wan is urgent, and the auspicious dress cannot be made in time. I asked the Ministry of Rites to modify the auspicious dress used when Concubine Jing was conferred as a concubine."

Old clothes? The emperor was unhappy for a moment, but time was tight and there was no better way, so he could only say: "In an emergency, we have to make an emergency decision. This is fine. How about other preparations?"

The Queen continued, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Everything is ready, just waiting for the auspicious time."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction. Zhen Huan was also very satisfied that the emperor still remembered her enthronement ceremony despite his busy schedule, which made her feel highly valued.

Time flies, and it is already March 19th. The enthronement ceremony of Concubine Jing and Zhen Huan is finally completed. In the evening, a family banquet is held in the palace to celebrate the wedding day of the two ladies.

An Lingrong was absent as usual. She was much better now and could walk a few laps in Yonghe Palace without anyone's help. But she couldn't move for a long time, otherwise she would feel weak all over, sweat profusely, and cough continuously.

The last time she saw the emperor after she fell ill was when he moved to the new palace. Now, she has not seen the emperor for more than a month. People in the palace are saying that her serious illness has damaged her appearance, and now she looks like a withered firewood. She will never be favored by the emperor again in this life.

When she moved to the palace, she only brought four palace maids and three eunuchs with her, and the rest of the staff were assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She came here thinking about a better life, but she didn't expect that Yonghe Palace was so dead all day long. Following Concubine Wen, a sickly woman who had difficulty walking, without any reward, her life was hopeless. Some palace people with bad hearts began to feel dissatisfied.

Previously, Rendong could still suppress them, but today there was a happy event in the palace, and all the palace people who went to Xianfu Palace and Suiyuxuan to congratulate were rewarded. However, they did not get any benefit at all in this cold Yonghe Palace, and complaints arose everywhere.

Baojuan and Baoque went out to teach them a lesson, but instead they heard a lot of angry words from them. Baoque was so angry that his face turned red.

When the palace maids saw this, they shouted even louder, and even dared to mock An Lingrong for not living up to her expectations and making them live a hard life.

At this time, An Lingrong spoke up: "Ren Dong, remember the names of the troublemakers and report them to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I can't use these people."

She doesn't want to fight anymore, but that doesn't mean anyone can bully her.

Concubine Cao, who had just walked into Yonghe Palace, saw this situation and became more confident about what she was going to say tonight.
