If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

Chapter 25 Ling Rong's Promotion

"Yesterday at the Empress Dowager's place, Ying'er sang 'Eternal Reunion' very well. I have given Ying'er a nickname, 'Lady Wonderful Voice'. What do you think, Empress?" the Emperor said to the Empress. It sounded like he was asking the Empress what she thought, but in fact he did not mean to let her express her opinion.

"Well-deserved," the queen replied. She also knew that the emperor just wanted to hear her agreement.

When the queen saw Xu Jinliang coming in, she said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it's time to turn over the cards."

"Your Majesty, I heard that not every concubine has slept with you." The queen reminded the emperor tactfully.

"Who else hasn't slept with you?" asked the emperor.

"Empress Dowager Wan, Concubine Chun, Concubine Xia and Concubine Jing agree." The emperor replied.

"Didn't Concubine Wan fall ill years ago? Let's forget about her. Concubine Chun is too young and has no idea about the world. Just agree to Jing." The emperor said indifferently.

The queen was sensitive enough to notice that the emperor had simply omitted Xia.

The eunuchs of the Jingshifang sent the news to the Yanxi Palace, and Lingrong received the news while practicing calligraphy. She knew that she would be picked after the Chinese New Year, but she didn't expect it to be so soon. She thought that Zhen Huan would be the first to be favored in this life if she didn't get sick, but she didn't expect it to be herself.

Lingrong discovered that some things would change after her rebirth, but some things remained unchanged. So what was the relationship between variables and constants? She didn't think the variable was herself, but Lingrong couldn't think of what the variable was.

Ling Rong cleaned up a bit in Yanxi Palace and was taken to Yangxin Palace by Fengluan Chunen Carriage. It was Aunt Fangruo who washed and dressed her.

"My dear, the emperor is still reviewing memorials, so he will come later. Wait a minute, the servants will carry you in, and you can just lie down and wait for the emperor." Ling Rong thought of her first time sleeping with the emperor, she was so nervous and scared that she was shaking with fear. Now she is not afraid at all, and now she is more thinking about how to face the emperor. The emperor lied to her three times, what attitude should she have when facing the emperor?

Lingrong knew she was being carried into the Yangxin Palace, but she hadn't made up her mind yet. If she had no other choice, she would just let it go. Anyway, they had already met at the New Year's Eve banquet. Thinking about it, Lingrong had already fallen asleep in a daze. The emperor hadn't come yet, and it was too warm here, so Lingrong didn't want to go.

After an unknown amount of time, when the emperor came in, he found the person on the bed already asleep. "She is really carefree," the emperor said to himself.

It was already four o'clock in the morning. He had to get up at five o'clock to prepare for the morning court, so he didn't have any thoughts about that. Of course, he didn't send Lingrong away like he did in his previous life. He pulled the quilt over her, and the two of them slept like that all night. Lingrong was awakened by the heat. She was wrapped in a quilt, and the emperor covered her with another quilt. She was awakened by the heat in the second half of the night. As soon as she moved, she heard a voice above her head saying, "Don't move."

Ling Rong froze for a moment, not daring to move. Only then did she realize that she had served him that night, but she had fallen asleep. She whispered, "Your Majesty, I..."

"Don't talk, let me sleep for a while." The emperor didn't open his eyes from beginning to end. Lingrong felt that the emperor let himself go and treated her as a puppet, with his arms and legs on her. She knew that she was wrapped in a quilt and her body was soft, but she was very hot.

Lingrong suffered for a short while and fell asleep, only to be called up in the morning to help the emperor get dressed.

"How did you sleep last night?" the emperor suddenly asked, startling Ling Rong who was daydreaming.

"Ah, um, very good." Ling Rong came to her senses and replied again. "Your Majesty, I slept very well."

"Aren't you surprised?" asked the emperor.

"I'm already surprised." Lingrong could reply to him, wasn't she surprised from the beginning? No, she couldn't, that would be deceiving the emperor.

"Oh, really? What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Ling Rong really wanted to ask, what do you want me to do?

"You are not tempted. If you agree, you won't have to compete for favor with a bunch of people in the palace."

"Your Majesty, I am your promise. It is a serious crime to contact a man outside of your family in private, even if it is an accidental encounter." Ling Rong replied calmly. I am not smart, but I am not stupid enough.

"Then today you are not, Su Peisheng, Jin'an is the concubine." The emperor just said the first half of the sentence and Lingrong's heart trembled with fear.

"Mr. Jing, please express your gratitude quickly." Seeing that Lingrong had not reacted for a while, Su Peisheng reminded her.

"Your concubine An thanks the emperor. Long live the emperor." Lingrong was really happy now, so she didn't know if what she said was appropriate.
