If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

After sending Xiao Xiazi away, Lingrong asked Juqing to clean up the house while she sat in the corridor to rest. She held a double-sided round fan she had embroidered and fanned herself gently. The fan was embroidered by Lingrong herself when she was bored. On one side was a lotus flower that was unstained by mud, and on the other side were mandarin ducks and butterflies flying in the spring. When her mother taught Lingrong double-sided embroidery, she was still young. Although she learned the needlework, she never got the hang of it. Although the embroidery was exquisite, it was lifeless. After she finished her work, Lingrong's heart became more and more calm, and she embroidered this lifelike embroidery. The lotus stood tall and graceful like a shy girl, smiling sweetly and looking forward with beautiful eyes; the spring scenery in the garden set off the romance of mandarin ducks playing in the lake and butterflies flying together.

Juqing temporarily placed Lingrong's important belongings and went out to look for her. Seeing Lingrong sitting in the corridor, leaning against the pillar in a daze, she took out a coat and put it on Lingrong, "My lady, although the weather is hot, it is not good for you to stay in the corridor like this. You will catch a cold." Although it is summer now, the Old Summer Palace is shaded by green trees. There are two large lakes on both sides of Anlan Garden where they live, and the cool breeze never stops.

"Juqing, are you ready?" Lingrong was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice Juqing coming over until she was altering her clothes.

"My lady, you have been temporarily settled. Don't you want to thank the Emperor? I will accompany you there." Juqing gently tidied up Lingrong's clothes. Lingrong's body had indeed been cooled by the wind.

"Okay, let's go." Lingrong stretched out her hand and Juqing helped her up. Lingrong straightened her clothes and went walking with Juqing to find the emperor. Xiao Xia Zi said that the emperor was in the Audience Building, so the two asked for directions and strolled to the Audience Building.

As Lingrong walked along the path, there were gurgling waters and rustling bamboos. It was the hottest time of the afternoon in early summer, but because the bamboos were so lush and towering that they blocked out the sun, Lingrong did not feel the heat at all as she walked along the bamboo-shaded path.

"My lady, the bamboos are growing so well. We haven't felt hot at all even after walking for such a long time." Juqing supported Lingrong and they walked most of the way, at least two miles if not three miles. Juqing really wasn't hot, but Lingrong was.

"I'm not hot, but I'm tired?" Ling Rong said with a wry smile. She hadn't walked this much for a long time, especially since the road here was not as smooth as the one in the palace, but had some potholes. Ling Rong was wearing palace shoes with flower pot soles, so it was really tiring to walk this much.

"It's almost here, young lady." Ju Qing heard that Ling Rong was tired, so she hurried to comfort her and divert her attention. "I heard that most people are here this time, even the bedridden Concubine Duan is here."

"It's normal. If all the masters in the palace have left, leaving Concubine Duan in the palace to recuperate would not be recuperation." Ling Rong said with a sneer, perhaps they were going to collect Concubine Duan's body.

"My lady, Concubine Duan will come tomorrow. Do you want to go and see her? Although you often send her some medicine and supplements, it seems that you have never visited her in person." Juqing didn't understand why Lingrong wanted to flatter Concubine Duan but didn't go in person.

"No, we'll meet again if we're destined to." Lingrong didn't want to expose herself so early. As they walked, they saw Zhen Huan and Huan Bi looking at something.

"My lady, Concubine Wan." Juqing also gently reminded Lingrong. Lingrong was very satisfied that Juqing did not speak loudly to disturb Zhen Huan and the others. It seemed that Juqing's mind was indeed on her.

"Sister Wan, what are you looking at?"
