The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

Noble Lady Su was dissatisfied with the fact that the Emperor personally helped the bitch An Lingrong up and ignored her, but she did not dare to show it on her face, so she could only call out delicately, "Your Majesty~"

But the emperor's expression did not change. Instead, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes as he said, "Just now I heard you say that you wanted to hold someone responsible?"

Concubine Su glanced at An Lingrong, not knowing how long the Emperor had been there, or whether he had heard their argument. She stammered and said with a forced smile, "Your Majesty, I was just joking with Concubine Rong."

The emperor said in a dignified voice, "Really?"

Concubine Su nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, please ask Sister Rongfei."

The emperor glanced at An Lingrong in his arms, only to see that An Lingrong looked indifferent, but a fleeting sadness flashed in her eyes. The emperor sneered and said, "Lady Su, I punished you to copy the palace rules, but it seems that I still haven't made you remember it!"

When Concubine Su heard the emperor's words, she panicked and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I..."

The emperor was too lazy to listen to Concubine Su's explanation and ordered Su Peisheng, "Pass on my decree. Concubine Su has committed treason and disrespected Concubine Rong. She will be demoted to a concubine immediately and punished by copying the female incest three times."

Su Guiren, oh no, now Su Changzai, never thought that she hadn't finished copying the palace rules yet, but she would be punished by the emperor to copy the female ethics and female relatives. She was a little flustered for a moment, and begged for mercy quickly: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, Your Majesty..."

The emperor looked at Su Peisheng impatiently. Su Peisheng understood and stepped forward, saying respectfully to Su Changzai, "Please come in, Su Changzai."

When Su Changzai saw that the emperor was unwilling to even look at her, she was very angry for a moment. She glared at Su Peisheng hatefully and cursed in her heart: What's so great about a stinky eunuch!

Although Su Chang was unhappy in her heart, she knew that she could not make the emperor angry at this time, so she had to bow and leave Tonghuatai.

After Su Changzai left, the emperor looked at An Lingrong in his arms jokingly, "I didn't know my Concubine Rong was so sharp-tongued."

When An Lingrong heard the emperor's words, she half-knelt on the ground and said, "I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor looked at An Lingrong and simply asked, "Oh? What did Concubine Rong do wrong?"

An Lingrong said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice: "I shouldn't have argued with the emperor's favorite concubine Su, and I shouldn't have made the emperor worry about the affairs of the harem."

When the Emperor heard An Lingrong's words, his brows slightly furrowed. He doted on Su Changzai? She was so arrogant because she relied on her doting. She was not as beautiful as Shilan, not as talented as Mei'er, not as considerate as Huan'er, and not as obedient and sensible as Rong'er. Why did he dote on her?

An Lingrong looked at the emperor's frowning brows and felt a little nervous for a moment. Could it be that the emperor really blamed her because of Su Changzai?

Just when An Lingrong was about to say something else, the emperor said helplessly, "I just can't understand why you, a concubine, are bullied like this all the time by her?"

An Lingrong was a little stunned. Was the emperor venting his anger for her?

The emperor looked at An Lingrong like this and knew that she had no idea why he was angry. He sighed helplessly and spoke with a tone of comfort: "I have always known your temper. I am relieved to see that you don't fight or compete. But this does not mean that you have to be without edge. There are rules in the harem. People with lower status than you, no matter whether they are more favored than you, must respect you. This is a must. If you are bullied for no reason, isn't it also a slap in my face?"

When the emperor saw the two of them, he remembered Su Peisheng's report today. This Su Changzai was indeed too arrogant. He couldn't help but think of Nian Shilan's words last night. It turned out that in these matters, Nian Shilan had a more clear and long-term view.

The emperor did not want to continue discussing this matter. Looking at An Lingrong's outfit today, he could not help but ask with some interest, "Why did my beloved concubine come to Tonghua Terrace today?"

An Lingrong smiled knowingly and took out the speech she had prepared long ago, "Today, the Queen said that she would hold a Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet soon. I wanted to prepare a program, so I thought of Tonghua Terrace. It is a remote place with few visitors, which is just right for me."

The emperor listened to An Lingrong's words without any suspicion, but said with great interest: "In that case, why don't you perform for me, my beloved concubine?"

An Lingrong was not shy and bowed with a smile, "Then I will respectfully obey your command. It is also a good opportunity for Your Majesty to help see if I dance well."

The emperor nodded, and then watched An Lingrong's performance quietly.

I advise you not to cherish the golden robe,

I advise you to cherish your youth.

The flowers can be folded straight and must be folded,

Don't wait for the flowers to be empty.

An Lingrong was singing and dancing at the same time. As she sang the last line of the lyrics, she was spinning gracefully in her silver brocade lily skirt. The clusters of lilies on the skirt seemed to come alive as she spun, which was very fascinating to watch.

The emperor could not contain his joy. He stepped forward to interrupt An Lingrong and hugged her in his arms, "Good! Good! Good!"

The emperor said three good words in a row, and he was very pleased with An Lingrong's thoughts in his heart.

An Lingrong coquettishly nestled in the emperor's arms and said shyly, "Your Majesty, this is outside."

The emperor frowned, and the servants near Tonghua Terrace looked away, no one dared to look up and see the intimacy between the two masters.

The emperor asked with a smile, "How did Ronger come up with the idea of ​​choosing this piece to perform at the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner?"

An Lingrong said in a low voice: "I have to thank the Empress for her advice. I knew that the royal family and some ministers would be present at the family banquet, so I thought of using the name of singing and dancing to sing to the people present some words that the Emperor could not say. I like the meaning of this song very much. The lyrics and music are both advising people not to focus too much on pursuing fame and fortune, and to cherish the best period of youth to study."

After hearing An Lingrong's explanation, the emperor was naturally very moved by her and Nian Shilan's kindness.

The emperor looked at An Lingrong and said tenderly, "You and the queen are both fine."

An Lingrong smiled shyly and said nothing more.

As expected, the emperor stayed overnight in An Lingrong's Yanxi Palace, a night of joy and beauty.

In the following days, the harem became much calmer, and before we knew it, it was the day of the Mid-Autumn family banquet.

The emperor personally went to Changle Palace to pick up Nian Shilan to attend the banquet with him. Thinking that Nian Shilan was about to give birth, the emperor wanted to not let her go, fearing that she might be in danger.
