An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

With his answer, Wen Shichu finally stepped into the door of Cun Ju Tang.

Shen Meizhuang restrained her expression and became the dignified and elegant beauty she had always been.

The two had been talking about love in private for a long time, but had never mentioned Zhen Huan. Now they had to bring the matter to the table. Shen Meizhuang was also very curious about what choice Wen Shichu would make.

Cai Xing closed the door gently, and the two of them looked at each other in silence. No one spoke for a while.

"Lady Hui."

"I have told you so many times that you don't have to call me Concubine Hui. In this Cunju Hall, I am just Shen Meizhuang, and you are just Wen Shichu."

Shen Meizhuang raised her hand to interrupt Wen Shichu's greeting. She poured a cup of Biluochun tea herself and pushed it in front of Wen Shichu.

The tea was still steaming. Wen Shichu stood there for a long time, not daring to sit down and pick up the cup of tea.

"Lady Hui, I have been thinking about this for a long time since I returned." Wen Shichu bowed his hands and bowed his head deeply, as if he didn't want Shen Meizhuang to see his expression. "What we did in the past is a serious crime that warrants the extermination of our family.

How can my young master and I, a humble servant, bet the lives of our entire family on the fact that the Emperor will not discover the...affection between us?"

"Of course, I know this very well."

Shen Meizhuang is not stupid. The reason why she dared to use the so-called warming wine to enjoy the sexual pleasure with Wen Shichu was because she had already thought of all the back-up plans.

As a man, Wen Shichu only remembered the Nine Clans at this moment, and even wanted to use this as an excuse to refuse to answer his own questions.

It seems that in his heart, the Goddess of Luo River only had Zhen Huan from beginning to end, and she was just a mistake he made after drinking.

But everyone in the world knows that when you drink too much and lose the ability to judge people, it is difficult to enjoy sex.

That night he was willing to indulge himself with me, which proved that he knew everything. He obviously liked me, so why did he keep thinking about Zhen Huan?

"Shichu, let me ask you one last question. Who is the God of Luoshui in your heart?"

Wen Shichu cupped his hands and buried his head deeper in his hands.

He didn't dare to say the answer out loud, because that answer was not Shen Meizhuang from the beginning to the end.

"Lady Hui, please don't force me. Please consider the Shen family and yourself."

The word "forcing" almost broke Shen Meizhuang's defense. She thought that the two of them were in love with each other, but she didn't expect that in Wen Shichu's eyes, it seemed like she was forcing him.

"Force, is there only force between you and me?"

"No, it's not."

Wen Shichu explained hurriedly. He thought for a long time, from his heart-pounding feeling for Zhen Huan to his concern for Shen Meizhuang.

These two women are an inseparable part of his life. He is unwilling to choose, and he does not know how to choose.

"What separates you and me is not just our status and position, but also..."

Shen Meizhuang closed her eyes. She didn't want to hear anything more from Wen Shichu. "Since there is nothing else to do, Lord Wen, please go down. I have to have dinner with the emperor today, so I need to prepare in advance."

Wen Shichu knew exactly what to do after dinner without Shen Meizhuang explaining it.

However, Shen Meizhuang has only been pregnant for a month. If she rashly goes to bed with him, the child might be in danger.

Therefore, he did not care about Shen Meizhuang chasing people away, "My lady, the fetus is unstable now, you must not have sex again!"

Shen Meizhuang turned her head slightly, glanced at Wen Shichu with the corner of her eye, then turned away completely, refusing to look at him again.

Cai Xing, who was outside the door, heard the noise and immediately opened the door and asked Wen Shichu to leave.

Wen Shichu wanted to say more, but Caixing shook her head and said, "Doctor Wen, you know the young lady's temper. Since I asked you to leave, I will not listen to anything you say."

"But... Concubine Hui's body is not suitable for serving the emperor. Caixing, you should persuade Concubine Hui."

Cai Xing just hummed and pushed Wen Shichu out. She was busy going in to serve the young lady, so she had no energy to argue with Doctor Wen.

Seeing that Caixing didn't care about it, Wen Shichu had no choice but to leave. But he was worried about Shen Meizhuang's health and their child, so he personally prepared a pregnancy-preserving medicine and sent it to Cunjutang.

This time Cai Xing did not refuse and immediately boiled medicine for Shen Meizhuang. After drinking the medicine, Shen Meizhuang finally calmed down and prepared to sleep with him tonight.

Fortunately, this bowl of medicine was very effective and there was no problem with Shen Meizhuang's pregnancy.

For the next three days, the emperor stayed in Cunju Hall and continued to send rewards to him.

The emperor thought of Shen Meizhuang's broken bracelet, so he specially gave her a new jade bracelet and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare jade earrings.

Shen Meizhuang always wore it when she entered and left Cunju Hall. When everyone came to pay their respects, they saw that it was really very luxurious. It was almost the same as what Nian Shilan had flaunted in public when she first entered the palace.

As for what Lingrong was wearing on her hand, it was the mutton-fat jade bracelet given by Shen Meizhuang. She touched her own bracelet and then looked at the new one Shen Meizhuang had received.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it's true that not only the bracelet was lost, but also the love.

Xia Dongchun watched Ling Rong's actions from afar and thought that Ling Rong cared about the valuable bracelet. After they greeted each other, she mocked Ling Rong for being petty.

"It's just a bracelet. Oh, you stared at it so hard."

"Mrs. Xia, do you remember that you looked into the matter of Doctor Wen and Concubine Hui?"

Ling Rong was no longer affected by what Xia Dongchun said. She just touched the bracelet and said, "Given your personality, you will not give up until you find some clues. Tell me, what did you find out?"

"What else can it be? It's against the rules to pull and tug, and it's also against morality to do something."

Xia Dongchun curled her lips in disdain. She was now very annoyed with Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan, both of whom liked to have some exciting fun.

“I know that her Shen family has a distinguished family background, and all the girls they raised are ladies from prominent families.

If you don’t know, you might think that her Shen family is some kind of brothel that specializes in training seductive women to seduce men.”

Concubine Tian stroked her hair and walked over swayingly.

It seems that not only Lingrong, but everyone in the palace who has set their eyes on Shen Meizhuang knows more or less about her affair with Wen Shichu.

Xia Dongchun also echoed, saying that Shen Meizhuang was unworthy, "Look at how proud she is. She came to Jingren Palace to show off with the bracelet and earrings given by the emperor."

These words sounded very familiar. In the previous life, they were used by others to hurt me, but now they were actually used on someone with a family background like Shen Meizhuang.

Zhen Huan was right when she said that it is important for people to respect themselves. But it is precisely because they respect themselves too much that they like to do these romantic things.

"Why, you still want that bracelet?"

"No, just an emerald bracelet."

Ling Rong shook her head. She didn't want to reveal this matter now. She was still waiting for Shen Meizhuang to give birth to the child so as to deal a heavy blow to the emperor.

"I was wondering how to gain the emperor's favor based on what Lady Tian said before."

Xia Dongchun bit her lip. In fact, she also wanted to ask An Lingrong for help, but who knew that Concubine Tian would act so quickly and actually get there before her.

"Why, it's been several days, isn't it enough for you to think about it?"

Concubine Tian was quite dissatisfied and even felt that An Lingrong was not doing her best.

After all, it was so easy for An Lingrong to gain favor, but why was it so difficult for her?

"I have thought of many ways, but... none of them are suitable for Lady Tian."

Lingrong sighed inwardly, this man was arrogant and conceited, the type the emperor disliked the most.

But her advantage is that she is well-read and can compete with Zhen Huan in the Feihualing game.

She was also good at playing the musical instrument. She could win the emperor's favor by playing a piece of music under the crabapple tree.

If she could control her temper a little, she might be able to win the emperor's favor again.

"The Emperor liked the noble lady to begin with, but the noble lady made such a big fuss about losing her child that the Emperor couldn't let go of his pride and was really heartbroken, so he didn't visit the noble lady for a long time.

If the noble lady is willing to lower her head, she will make a bowl of soup for the emperor and send it to the Yangxin Palace.

If I invite the Emperor to listen to the music and discuss poetry again, I will surely win His Majesty’s favor again.”

Lady Tian touched her beautiful face that was nourished by Dong'e Ejiao, but she was quite unconvinced. "Now that Shen Meizhuang is in favor, I think we should deal with her first..."

"Since you have already grasped the weakness of Lady Hui, there is no need to rush."

Ling Rong interrupted Concubine Tian, ​​and continued to talk about how to regain the emperor's favor, "The emperor gave you the title Tian because he liked your quiet and indifferent appearance.

After all, I still prefer the glimpse under the crabapple tree. If you can be a little more restrained, this favor will last longer. "

An Lingrong once said this, but Concubine Tian felt that there was nothing wrong with her personality and she is unwilling to hide it even now.

It’s a pity that the result of not wanting to cover up is a long-term loss of favor.

Now that she was reminded again, Concubine Tian was still a little angry. With a cold face, she sternly scolded Lingrong to think of other ways.

"My lord, this is the best way." Ling Rong was not afraid of the timid Concubine Tian, ​​she also lowered her voice, "What's the point of your arrogant and conceited personality showing off in front of the emperor?

Do you think the Fucha family is more powerful than the emperor, or do you think the emperor's favor is unimportant?"

"I..." Concubine Tian had never seen Ling Rong speak so harshly before. She immediately wanted to back off, but still held her head high. "How dare you talk to me like that!"

"Lady Tian, ​​you are a lady and I am a concubine, why shouldn't I dare?"

This was the first time Lingrong mentioned the issue of status in front of Concubine Tian. She knew that Concubine Tian looked down on her from the bottom of her heart, and there were many people in the palace who looked down on her, but it didn't matter.

But Concubine Tian wanted to be favored, and was unwilling to hide her temper. She acted as if it was her right, which was really infuriating.

"You..." Tian Gui stamped her feet in anger, but Ling Rong was right, and she had no choice but to sulk.

"There is only one solution. My Lord, why don't you go back to the Yanxi Palace and spend some time thinking about whether what I said is right or wrong."

Lingrong didn't want to pay any more attention to Concubine Tian. She put her hand on Zhaoshui's hand and left Concubine Tian and Concubine Xia behind her.

"My lady, is it not good to have a falling out with Lady Tian just like this?"

“So what? With the help of the Fucha family, she won’t fall out of favor completely.

Now that the Nian family has fallen, the emperor needs to cultivate his own people. Both the Shen family and the Fucha family have good children. "

When she thought of her family background, Ling Rong couldn't help but sigh. Ling Lang was still young, and he couldn't take advantage of the Nian family's decline to rise to prominence.

"So... Young Master, what you mean is that after Consort Hui gains favor, she will become Consort Tian?"

"If my guess is correct, it's Lady Tian."

Zhaoshui suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the young lady had not thought of any solution for Concubine Tian. "But... the young lady and Concubine Tian had a quarrel."

"Lady Tian just has a bad temper, but she is not a fool. If you calm down and think about it, you will know that what I said is right.

The emperor wanted to favor her, and she just happened to listen to me. After she was favored, I'm afraid she wouldn't have enough time to thank me."

Lingrong guessed correctly, and Concubine Tian sent the soup to the Yangxin Palace that night.

The emperor really came as promised and spent the whole night playing the piano and talking about poetry with her.

Just as he doted on Shen Meizhuang, the emperor also went to Concubine Tian’s palace for three or four days in succession.

The two of them instantly became the most favored people in the entire harem. If Shen Meizhuang had not suddenly fallen ill, no one would know who would be the number one person in the harem.

Concubine Tian tasted the sweetness, and she personally brought gifts to Chengqian Palace, which were filled with gold, silver and other treasures that Lingrong liked.

Looking at those things, Ling Rong reluctantly gave Concubine Tian a smile. But after just a few words, she drove Concubine Tian away on the grounds that she wanted to marry You Ning.

"Okay, Lady Tian, ​​I'm going to go accompany Youning.

As for you, hurry back to the Yanxi Palace and accompany the emperor."

Lingrong now likes to be favored. She hides behind everyone so that she will not be an eyesore to the Queen, nor will she be completely out of favor and allowed to be bullied.

All you need to do is think calmly about who else in the harem can be used and who needs to be carefully calculated.

Now there are two things facing Lingrong. One is to find a way to be promoted to the position of concubine as soon as possible, and the other is to find a way to get rid of the queen and replace her with someone who is more to her liking.

Of course, it’s not that she doesn’t want that position, but with her family background, unless the emperor was drugged, she would never be able to sit on the throne.

As for Concubine Tian from the Fucha family, she is a good choice.

She has a good family background and is a bit silly, so she is not like Ulanara Yixiu, who always stares at other people's positions and stomachs.

But these are all things that happened in the future. After all, both Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang are still alive. It is still unknown who will have the last laugh.

There was no one plotting or scheming in the harem, so life was exceptionally peaceful.

However, Shen Meizhuang's belly couldn't wait any longer. A month and a half later, she called Wen Shichu to Cunju Hall to take her pulse and informed the harem of her pregnancy.

Fortunately, the belly was not very noticeable in the past two or three months. With the help of Wen Shichu, Shen Meizhuang successfully concealed the actual month of the baby.

The emperor was very happy. The most joyful thing in the harem was the news of the pregnancy. Even the empress dowager was very happy and sent Zhuxi to give the golden hairpin of the two immortals of harmony and unity to Shen Meizhuang.
