An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

Chapter 152 Fragrance Powder

Because she met the emperor in the Imperial Garden, Lingrong had to take him back to Chengqian Palace to visit Youning.

But Youning was still young and had only met the emperor a few times, so naturally she had no impression of him.

But probably because Lingrong brought him here, Youning was very respectful when the emperor held him and did not get scared and cry. Instead, he looked him up and down with curiosity.

The emperor was very happy. Su Peisheng said on the side that this was the connection between father and daughter. He knew that the emperor was his royal father at first sight.

Su Peisheng's words touched the emperor's heart, causing him to hold the child for a while longer before handing the child over to the wet nurse.

"It seems that all children born in the palace are like this. No matter how fair their mothers' skin is, they are dark."

The emperor seemed to be quite sighing, but he knew very well that his mother said he was dark when he was born, just like the late emperor.

These children just look like him. When they grow up, they will be like their mother.

"From my perspective, it probably looks like their father." Ling Rong leaned over to touch You Ning's hand, and even pulled the emperor's hand over for comparison. "Your Majesty, look, they are exactly the same."

"Youning is my daughter, so she naturally looks like me." The emperor held Lingrong's hand, shook his head and sighed, "It would be better if this child is fairer in the future, otherwise I will worry that Youning will not be able to get married."

"What kind of words are these?" Ling Rong snorted, "This complexion is very healthy, I'm afraid there are countless people chasing after our Youning and wanting to marry her.

But the emperor must open his eyes and find a husband for Youning who is worthy of her."

The emperor laughed out loud and promised Lingrong again and again that he would definitely find a satisfactory husband for Youning.

I hope you keep your word and don't let these daughters marry again. Ling Rong sighed in her heart. Ever since You Ning was born, she and Cao Qinmo had the same idea, trying to find a way to make life better for herself and her daughters.

How can a person still think about self-esteem? Once he has a weak spot, he will just think about climbing up.

For the women trapped in the harem, there are only two ways to climb up.

One is to please the emperor, the other is to please the empress dowager.

I had previously released a snake to bite the Queen. The Queen Mother and the Queen must know that I did it. Now if I want to please them, the Emperor is the only candidate left.

With this in mind, Lingrong tried her best to coax the emperor and let him stay in Chengqian Palace overnight.

But even though we stayed overnight, we just chatted under the covers.

Lingrong tried to arouse the emperor's interest, but she also tried to whet his appetite by being willing to give him a surprise in three days.

Because he was attracted by this surprise, the emperor came to Chengqian Palace for three consecutive days. He played with Youning together with Lingrong during the day and talked about some private matters with Lingrong at night.

It’s just that the so-called surprise was just the bedroom trick that Lingrong got tired of playing with in her previous life.

Lingrong could make the emperor happy without much effort, and he stayed with her for several days, becoming the most favored person in the harem.

But Ling Rong knew best that too much is as bad as too little. If she continued to cling to him day after day, she would end up like a plaything in her previous life.

She took advantage of the emperor's still being in high spirits and directly pushed him to Concubine Tian's palace with the words of treating everyone equally.

Even though the emperor has now favored a new concubine, there is still jealousy in the harem because Lingrong has received so much care from the emperor right after she came out of confinement.

Therefore, when paying respects, she would make a few sarcastic remarks from time to time, using Lingrong's favor to make the concubines in the harem jealous.

The one who was most unhappy among them was Chun Changzai.

She won the emperor's favor because of her performance on the night Lingrong gave birth, but before this favor could be secured, Lingrong took it back.

Even after the emperor stopped going to Chengqian Palace, he never visited Suiyuxuan again. Instead, he went to Yanxi Palace to meet Concubine Tian and Xia Dongchun, who were not favored.

"Sister Anpin is really favored. She has been cared for by the emperor since she just came out of confinement."

Chun Changzai held Shen Meizhuang's hand and said some sour words with envy in her tone.

She knew Lingrong and the others were right behind her, so she raised her voice intentionally, "Chun'er also wants to play with the kids. It would be best if we could fly a kite together."

Shen Meizhuang thought she was just envious, so she tried to comfort her in a gentle manner.

It's just that Chun'er has been in the palace for a year and she still loves to act like a spoiled child. Shen Meizhuang is fed up with her and just wants to end the conversation quickly and return to Xianfu Palace.

"Sister Hui, don't you want to have a child? If he can accompany me, I won't have to worry about someone stealing my favor."

Shen Meizhuang no longer had the heart to compete for favor. She just smiled awkwardly and said, "It's enough for my younger sister to be favored. My elder sister is no longer as beautiful as she used to be. How can she compare to my younger sister?"

Chun Chang was laughing happily, but she never forgot to mention that Lingrong now had a son and a favorite. She wanted to use this to inspire Shen Meizhuang's fighting spirit and compete with her for favor.

It’s a pity that Shen Meizhuang’s heart was already with Wen Shichu at that time, so she could not tolerate the emperor, such a heartless person.

All she was thinking about now was how to avoid the eyes of everyone in the harem and have a private meeting with Wen Shichu. How could she take the initiative to compete for favor and attract the emperor's attention?

"Sister!" Chun Changzai deliberately lowered her voice and whispered in Shen Meizhuang's ear, "Are you willing to be an invisible person in this palace for the rest of your life? That Concubine An has a worse family background and appearance than you, but now she has climbed to the position of concubine."

"That's Concubine An's ability."

Shen Meizhuang patted Chun Changzai's hand. She also noticed that Lingrong and others were walking behind them. How could she agree with Chun Changzai and say bad things about Lingrong?

"She has a gentle and modest temperament, and treats others kindly and amiably, so naturally the emperor likes her."

Chun Chang originally wanted to sow discord between the two. When An Lingrong became dissatisfied with Shen Meizhuang's ridicule behind her back and intended to humiliate her, she would then take the opportunity to ask Shen Meizhuang to continue to compete for favor.

It’s a pity that Shen Meizhuang has no intention of vying for favor, and all she wants is to live a dull life in the palace.

I didn't expect that Shen Meizhuang was so much worse than Zhen Huan.

Chun Chang sighed in his heart, feeling even more isolated and helpless in the palace.

"elder sister……"

"Chun'er, I have no intention of competing for favor, so please stop talking." Shen Meizhuang finally interrupted Chun Changzai's persuasion. She stopped and said, "I still want to stroll around this imperial garden for a while, so I won't accompany my sister anymore."

Chun Changzai wanted to say something more, but Caixing supported Shen Meizhuang and left quickly, leaving Chun Changzai standing there with an embarrassed look on her face.

"My lady..." Yu'er called Chun Changzai softly. She wanted to remind Chun Changzai that Concubine An was here, but was scared away by Chun Changzai's suddenly gloomy face.

"Why is Concubine Chun standing here like a fool? The sun is so strong, and her delicate skin will be sunburned."

Ling Rong walked slowly over, fanning herself with a fan. She had already heard the provocative words that Concubine Chun had said, but she followed for a long time just to see Shen Meiyu's reaction.

When Chun Changzai heard Ling Rong's voice, she immediately lowered her head to adjust her expression. Only when her face was innocent again did she greet him.

Ling Rong deliberately ignored her for a while before slowly asking her to get up.

Chun Chang still had a lovely smile on her face, "Sister An, you are joking. The sunshine in April will not harm your skin.

Moreover, the emperor specially gave his concubines whitening powder so that they would not get tanned.

Sister An needs it, but Chun'er Palace still has a lot."

Seeing that she wanted to save her face, Ling Rong did not give in and simply nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Concubine Chun to bring some."

Chun Chang originally thought that Ling Rong would refuse, but she did not expect that she would actually take advantage of the situation and ask for the perfume and powder that the emperor gave her.

She is truly the daughter of a county magistrate who has never seen good things and is always thinking about other people's rewards.

However, now that the words had been spoken, and seeing that An Lingrong did not look like she was joking, Concubine Chun had no choice but to bite the bullet and take a few people to Sui Yuxuan.

Unexpectedly, she met Xia Dongchun who was looking for An Lingrong on the way. When she heard about the perfume powder bestowed by the emperor, she also became interested and insisted on having a box.

"Chun Changzai has so many perfume powders, she shouldn't be short of this box."

Xia Dongchun touched her face and smiled ostentatiously, "My skin is cultivated by many rare things. I really can't get used to ordinary perfume powder."

Seeing Chun Chang's painful look, Xia Dongchun smiled even more happily.

She held Ling Rong's hand, pretending to speak well of Concubine Chun, "This Concubine Chun is really generous. She gave such precious perfume powder as a gift. Concubine Tian also likes these things, so why not bring a box back for her as well."

This shameless behavior of taking money at the same time made Chun Changzai very angry, but after all, it was she who proposed it, so she couldn't turn against these two people just because of it.

"The perfume powder was given to Concubine Chun by the Emperor. It's already difficult to give us two boxes. Although Concubine Chun has countless boxes there, it's not easy to take a few more boxes."

Ling Rong seemed to reject Xia Dongchun's proposal, but she put Chun Changzai on the fire.

If she gave it away carelessly, a rumor would spread that she was trampling on the emperor's feelings. If she was unwilling to give more, she would be laughed at for pretending to be rich.

Of course, it would be even better if you could get some perfume.

After all, Concubine Tian lost her child because of the butterfly perfume powder. She hates perfume powder the most now. When she heard that it was sent by Concubine Chun, she only thought that Concubine Chun was mocking her for losing her child because of the perfume powder.

With one more enemy invisibly, I really don’t know how Chun Chang can live happily in the future.

Chun Changzai already knew that the two people wanted to take the powder on purpose, but it would be embarrassing to refuse at this time. "If Lady Tian likes it, please ask Sister Xia to take a box back for her as well."

Xia Dongchun raised her eyebrows and responded very casually. She then turned to discuss Youning with Lingrong and insisted on going to Chengqian Palace to take a look.

"Since you want to see her so much, go now. If you're late, you'll miss the time when the imperial physician diagnoses Youning."

When Xia Dongchun heard this, she no longer cared about her perfume and powder, and immediately went to Chengqian Palace to visit Youning.

Lingrong did not forget to say goodbye to Chun Changzai, and even deliberately reminded Chun Changzai to send perfume and powder to Chengqian Palace and Yanxi Palace respectively.

The two of them didn't care about Chun Changzai's expression, and they slowly walked away while enthusiastically discussing Youning's current situation.

"You are getting worse and worse. You are bullying Concubine Chun like this. Aren't you afraid that I will tell others about your true face?"

Xia Dongchun couldn't help laughing when she thought of Chun Chang's expression just now. She couldn't understand why Chun Chang had to pretend to be innocent and cute when he was obviously so angry.

"I'm not a good person, so I'm not afraid that you will spread my bad reputation."

Lingrong was also smiling happily. She didn't care whether she was considered as a bully by others.

She only knew that if she was bullied, she had to fight back, otherwise she would only be bullied more severely.

"I don't know about others, but in Chun Chang's heart, you and I are the villains in that storybook who do all kinds of evil.

There must be a god-like rich young man to save her and punish us two bad guys at the same time."

"Look at what you said, it's very logical. It's really suitable for telling stories to Youning and making her happy."

When I think about it this way, I was the villain who was defeated by the righteous heroine in my previous life. I just don’t know if the same ending will happen in this life.

"If you want me to tell a story, you need money." Xia Dongchun snorted, then glanced at Lingrong, "An Lingrong, what kind of person am I in your heart?"

"Well..." Ling Rong stretched out her tone. She had really never thought about this question. When asked by Xia Dongchun, she was a little confused.

"Hey, An Lingrong! You're not thinking bad things about me and trying to fool me with some nice words."

Ling Rong smiled with her eyes curved. She took Xia Dongchun's hand and patted it, "Although Xia Changzai has a bit of a sharp tongue, she is indeed a sister worth getting to know."

"Hmph!" Xia Dongchun raised his neck proudly and entered Chengqian Palace before Lingrong.

She went straight to Youning's bedroom, and seemed more familiar with the place than Lingrong.

"My lady, Concubine Xia is still the same as before, always forgetting the difference between the superior and the inferior."

Zhaoshui shook his head. It turned out that Concubine Xia had a higher position than the young lady, so she often called the young lady by her name.

Now it seems like she has gotten used to it. The young lady is already a concubine, but she is still so casual.

If the emperor or anyone else heard this, I'm afraid Concubine Xia would be punished.

"She doesn't have any bad intentions, she's just spoiled by her family."

Although Ling Rong didn't mind Xia Dongchun calling her name like that, this was the palace after all, so she still had to remind her to be careful.

"Just remind her more often. Privately, you can also give some advice to Mingyu, telling her to be more alert and not let Concubine Xia cause any trouble."

"Yes, my lord."

After Zhaoshui agreed, Lingrong slowly walked into the hall.

When I raised my eyes, I saw Xia Dongchun holding You Ning. They were talking about something, but they were laughing happily.

Because Youning often saw Xia Dongchun, she was not afraid of her. She waved her little hands and played with Xia Dongchun.

"Xia Chang loves children so much, why don't you consider trying to win her favor and have a child of your own as soon as possible?"

When Xia Dongchun heard that she was going to have a baby, she shook her head like a rattle, "I can certainly fight for your favor, but as for getting pregnant, there's no rush."
