An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

After temporarily dealing with the affairs of the main hall, the emperor finally had time to visit Lingrong and see her and her child.

At this time, the entire delivery room had been cleaned, but because it was not ventilated, there was still a faint smell of blood.

The emperor drew aside the curtain and saw the pale-faced Ling Rong teasing the child. Unfortunately, the child was too young and did not respond to Ling Rong's teasing.

"Giving birth is so hard, but Rong'er still has the energy to play with the baby."

Even though what happened in the main hall was very bad, the child was born safely. The emperor was naturally very happy when he saw the mother and daughter.

Seeing the smile on the emperor's face, Lingrong couldn't help but smile as well. She pulled the emperor's hand and placed it on the child's swaddling clothes.

"Although she was born prematurely, she is in good health," Ling Rong wanted the emperor to pay attention to this child so that her daughter could live more comfortably in the palace. "But she flutters her arms and legs when she cries. I'm afraid she will be a little monkey in the future."

"Shuhe is quiet and Wenyi is cute, and it would be good for our daughter to be more lively.

Even if she likes to whip a horse in the future, she will definitely be as good as a man. "

Lingrong was amused by the emperor's fantasy. The child had just been born, and the emperor immediately thought of the child's youth.

However, it would be a good thing if my daughter could be so free and unrestrained, completely different from myself.

After all, I have been deeply harmed by this sensitive and suspicious character, and even making friends is a calculation.

"I have just issued an edict to promote you to be a concubine. The child will be raised by you so that you don't have to worry about the child's health."

The emperor brought good news, so Lingrong was naturally happy. She did not let go of the emperor's hand, but instead pulled it against her face.

"When I was giving birth, I seemed to see the snowy scene outside in a daze.

The wind was cold and the snow was flying across the courtyard. A little girl was still making a snowman, but she was distracted and ran towards me.

The emperor was still smiling, but he seemed to have thought of something and his expression was dazed for a moment.

Ling Rong had been staring at him, so she naturally caught the change in that instant, "The kid also said that he finally saw you again."

"...Perhaps, you have seen it before." The emperor gently touched Lingrong's cheek, "If you lose it and find it again, you should cherish it even more."

"It's not enough for me to cherish the child alone," Ling Rong moved the child closer to her, opened the swaddling clothes with her fingers and looked at the child carefully, "Your Majesty must cherish the child together."

"Of course I cherish both you and your daughter." The emperor finally had another child. He was so proud of himself that he wanted to tell the world that he, the Son of Heaven, had never been punished by God.

In time, you will surely have many children to enjoy the company of.

"Last time I named the child Yong'an, I violated your name.

After seeing this child today, I have a name in mind - Youning. Do you like him, Ronger?"

"...A gentleman is at peace." Ling Rong knew this was a poem from the Book of Poetry, but she could only remember this line. "The Emperor really likes this child."

"It's more than just liking children." The emperor finally withdrew his hand, pulled the quilt for Ling Rong, and then heaved a long sigh, "This palace is noisy, only Rong Er here makes me feel at ease."

Lingrong knows the women in the harem best. Each of them is a tough one. The means they use to win favor are enough to open the emperor's eyes.

Coupled with the fact that they used poisoning to frame each other, it was normal for the emperor to feel annoyed.

But this is not a peaceful and tranquil place. If I hadn't been pregnant, I would have been involved in all these things.

But since the emperor thinks so, let him continue to think so.

"The sisters in the harem are all concerned about the emperor, so it's natural that they will have some temper." Ling Rong just gave some advice. She was very tired at the moment and had no energy to be the emperor's confidant.

The emperor saw Ling Rong's tired look and didn't want to bother her with these troubles anymore. He stayed by her side in silence until Ling Rong fell asleep, then he got up and left.

But the emperor was really tired, so he stayed in Chengqian Palace that night.

The next morning, Lingrong sent someone to deliver the medicinal food. The emperor was very happy about this little thing, thinking that Lingrong was still missing him during the confinement period.

In addition, with the new royal heir, he even looked a little happy when he attended court.

After the court session, the Imperial Observatory hurried to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

He reported to the Emperor that he had observed the stars last night and discovered that the sun and the moon were in conjunction and five planets were in a line in the sky.

The emperor was very surprised. The fatigue he felt when he went to court quickly disappeared. "What does this celestial phenomenon indicate?"

"In reply to your Majesty, the sun is yang and the moon is yin. The two coexist in the sky, which symbolizes the balance of yin and yang and the harmony between heaven and earth. This scene is extremely rare and is the heaven's affirmation of your Majesty's governance."

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory had a look of joy on his face and his tone was quite excited. He raised his hand and pointed to the direction where the stars appeared yesterday.

From time to time, there were a few words interspersed in his speech that were difficult to understand, but the general meaning was that the celestial phenomenon was auspicious.

Upon hearing such an auspicious sign, the emperor was overjoyed. Now the country is peaceful and the land is calm.

Even the celestial phenomena indicate that I govern the country well. Who would dare to say that I am not sitting on the throne legitimately?

"What does the five stars in a row mean?"

"Your Majesty, the Five Stars in a Row refers to the simultaneous appearance of the five major stars of gold, wood, water, and fire. Because the five elements counteract each other, it is difficult for these five stars to come together.

Therefore, once they are combined, it means peace and prosperity for the whole world, and also means peace and prosperity for the country and the people."

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory said so many nice things and his voice was almost hoarse before he could finally explain the astronomical phenomenon clearly.

"Last night I was in the palace waiting for Youning to be born, and I didn't have the chance to observe this celestial phenomenon." The emperor said with regret, but when he thought of Youning's birth yesterday, he suddenly felt that this was a double blessing.

"Yesterday, the sky showed auspicious signs, and the princess was born," the Imperial Astronomical Observatory hurriedly bowed to congratulate the emperor, "The courtyard is full of trees, and the pillars are bright. The sky is straight, and the sky is dark. The gentleman is at peace.

The implication is that the place where the king lives is comfortable and peaceful, and the place where the emperor lives is the empire, which means that the world is at peace and prosperity.

I think this is because God knows that the emperor is good at governing the country, so he gave the princess to show his joy. "

The emperor nodded in delight, and even felt that giving the child this name yesterday was a match made in heaven.

"The emperor got a new princess yesterday, and he also encountered such a celestial phenomenon. It can be seen that the people are loyal to him."

Su Peisheng congratulated her from the side, unable to suppress the joy on his face, "No wonder Concubine An gave birth so smoothly yesterday. It seems that it is really because of the emperor's wisdom and the mercy of heaven."

"It can be seen that Youning is a lucky star." The emperor's smile deepened a little. He waved his hand and gave generous rewards to everyone in the palace. He even asked Su Peisheng to give Lingrong a bigger reward.

"This celestial phenomenon is rare, and we must let the world know about it so that all people can enjoy it together."

"Your humble servant obeys your order." The Imperial Observatory received a generous reward, so naturally it was willing to do its best to spread the news.

Within half a day, the auspicious sign of yesterday was known to everyone in the court and the country, and even spread among the people. Wherever they went, everyone was discussing the celestial phenomenon.

Because of the astronomical phenomenon, the rewards from Lingrong and Youning were even more generous.

One gift was for congratulations on the birth of the child, and another was for auspicious astronomical signs. Lingrong was so overwhelmed with gifts that she had even said all the words of thanks she could.

Zhaoshui and Xiaochizi, who were in charge of receiving the gifts, were even busier. They registered and collected them over and over again, and only had a chance to rest when it was dark.

Zhaoshui rubbed his sore wrist and slumped in the chair for a long time before he regained his strength.

Although they were tired, they were even more happy. Not only did the two masters receive more rewards, but all the palace servants in Chengqian Palace were rewarded with double their monthly wages.

There was a festive atmosphere inside and outside the palace, and even walking on the road made one feel very proud.

"My lady, this is the gift list that Xiao Chizi and I have compiled." Zhaoshui wiped the sweat from Ling Rong's forehead. The charcoal fire in the hall was burning brightly, and it was as warm as spring.

Ling Rong took the gift list, glanced at it and put it down. She felt a little sorry that Concubine Hua had fallen at this time, otherwise, according to her personality, the gift would even be more generous than that of the Empress.

Ling Rong felt so heartbroken at losing such a large amount of gold, silver and treasures that she couldn't even bear to look at the gift list and immediately asked Zhao Shui to put it away.

"My Lord, do you think this gift is too heavy?"

Zhaoshui didn't understand why Lingrong was not so happy. These were obviously real money. Whether he used it himself or sent it back home, it would be a great help.

Ling Rong naturally would not say that she felt sorry for the silver that Nian Shilan did not send. If the servant knew about it, he would think that he was too stingy as a master.

Of course, money is just material possessions. The only thing that worries Lingrong more than this is Youning.

"Youning is so young, but he was beset by the celestial event. It really makes people happy and worried."

Although this astronomical phenomenon is good, it is a double-edged sword. If the words are changed one day, the good omen will turn into a bad omen.

"Now that this auspicious omen is known to everyone in the world, why should you worry about the future?"

Zhao Shui was open-minded. After all, the theory of celestial phenomena was important to people's hearts. If he could gain benefits at this time, he should just make good use of it.

"The matter of Concubine Hui's fetus is caused by someone behind the scenes. I am just worried that someone is unwilling to see Youning being favored like this."

Lingrong was also worried that the Queen would use the celestial phenomena to do something again, but Youning was a girl and would not hinder any prince from inheriting the throne.

Her family background and status pose almost no threat to the position of Queen, so the Queen will not take any action in the short term.

"Besides, this matter is related to world peace. Even if someone wants to do something, it depends on whether the emperor is willing to listen."

Zhaoshui's words made Lingrong suddenly enlightened. After all, this matter of celestial phenomena was more about the emperor and the country itself.

My daughter just happened to be born on the same day, so she got a little bit of benefit.

"On the contrary, you don't see it as clearly as you do. It turns out that children are a weak spot. She has just been born, but you are already worried about her future."

Zhaoshui naturally understood the young lady's feelings. After all, the child had been attacked many times while in her womb. If she hadn't been on guard, I'm afraid the young lady wouldn't have been able to walk out of the delivery room safely.

"It will take quite some time for the little princess to grow up. I'm afraid you will have to worry about her for the rest of your life."

Lingrong was half happy and half worried. She sighed deeply and understood Cao Qinmo a little better.

If she were in his place now, she would also try her best to bring down the person who murdered her daughter.

They gave her tapioca flour, calming soup, and even took her child away. How could such a small child endure such harm?

"Fortunately, Youning can be raised by my side, so I have less worries. If she were like Concubine Cao and Concubine Xin, I don't know how hard it would be to sleep at night."

"My young master, don't you want to help them both?"

Zhaoshui didn't have any deep memories of these two people. The young lady seldom interacted with them, and when they met on weekdays, they just nodded and greeted each other.

I am not such a kind-hearted person. Ling Rong has a very clear understanding of herself. If she can use these two people in the future, it would be okay to help them.

I hope Cao Qinmo will not repeat the mistakes of her previous life. Not only will she reveal all the crimes committed by Nian Shilan, but she will also persuade the emperor to sentence her to death.

The emperor loves to pretend to be affectionate. Nian Shilan has been his favorite for so many years, and he can't find an outlet to vent his anger. Naturally, he will target Cao Qinmo, the "traitor".

"It's hard to protect myself now, so it's not easy to help them." Ling Rong finished the bowl of porridge and felt that her mouth was tasteless. "But... is Princess Wen Yi still in Yikun Palace now?"

"Princess Wen Yi is still living in Yikun Palace. I heard that Song Zhi is still taking care of her."

Hearing that the emperor did not even punish Songzhi, but kept her with Wen Yi, Lingrong couldn't help but look surprised.

"If I remember correctly, the straw man was found in Songzhi's room."

"Yes, young lady." This matter was a big deal, and it was hard for Zhaoshui not to know about it. "I heard that Songzhi said that day that it was her own fault and wanted to take all the blame.

However, the emperor did not believe it at all, and still demoted Concubine Hua and confined her to the Tangquan Palace."

"Wen Yi is still the daughter of Concubine Hua... What does the emperor mean by this?"

Ling Rong pondered the purpose of the emperor's behavior. If the Nian family was really to be liquidated, Wen Yi would have a convicted grandfather, which would not be beneficial to her future choice of son-in-law.

"Perhaps the Emperor does not really blame Concubine Nian? After all, Concubine Nian is still pregnant. After she gives birth to the royal heir, she will be brought back to the palace."

Zhaoshui didn't know that the emperor wanted to settle accounts with the Nian family, so he naively thought that the emperor was affectionate and would not confine Concubine Nian for life.

However, Lingrong understood that the downfall of the Nian family was inevitable, unless they knew about the events of the previous life like she did, made preparations in advance, and directly led the soldiers to force the emperor to abdicate.

Could it be possible that... Nian Shilan can really keep this pregnancy?

Ling Rong was also a little skeptical at this time. She wondered if the emperor had really used up all the elixirs to help Nian Shilan recover.

Even if the Nian family fell by then, Nian Shilan would be able to return to the palace and secure her position as a concubine because of her offspring.

Moreover, Wen Yi is still listed in Nian Shilan's imperial genealogy. Even if the child cannot be saved, she is still the mother of the princess. The emperor still has reason to keep Nian Shilan's position and honor.

The emperor had planned this game really early. It was hard for Cao Qinmo, who had to continue to endure the pain of separation between mother and daughter.
