An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

The imperial physician arrived quickly. While taking Concubine Chun's pulse, Mingyu went to Chengqian Palace again and invited Lingrong over as well.

As soon as they arrived near Fubiting, they heard Concubine Chun's cry of pain, which made Lingrong break into a cold sweat for Xia Dongchun.

What's the point of coming here now? Lingrong hesitated for a moment, but still followed Mingyu to find Xia Dongchun.

Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me, so it’s good to be a backbone for Xia Dongchun.

"An...why are you here too?"

As soon as Xia Dongchun saw Ling Rong, she ran over. She subconsciously stood behind Ling Rong, as if this would allow her to avoid Chun Guiren's cries of pain.

"Didn't you send someone to find me?" Ling Rong's gaze passed Xia Dongchun and fell on Mingyu who was standing beside her.

"Empress Sheng, I acted on my own initiative," Mingyu immediately knelt down and bowed, "I saw that the young lady was too scared, and thought that with you around, she would feel more at ease, so..."

"Get up," Lingrong did not intend to reprimand Mingyu in this situation. She pulled Xia Dongchun out from behind her and asked, "What happened?"

Xia Dongchun then told the whole story in detail. In fact, it was just a verbal dispute, but Xia Dongchun had a bad temper and could not help but resort to violence after being insulted by Concubine Chun.

However, Xia Dongchun was still concerned about what Ling Rong had said, so she just pushed Chun Guiren's shoulder, wanting to say something harsh to her to tell her to be careful.

Unexpectedly, Chun Changzai almost fell down and was frightened to the point of having a miscarriage.

I have told you so many times, why did you insist on doing it? You only get scared when something happens, and it is too late to do anything.

Ling Rong spoke bitterly in her heart for a long time before she sighed and said, "Let's see what the imperial physician thinks of the situation. Don't worry too much."

Ling Rong brought Xia Dongchun into the pavilion, just in time for Doctor Zhang to finish taking the pulse. "Doctor Zhang, how is Concubine Chun doing? Is the heir in her belly affected?"

"Madam Concubine Sheng, Concubine Chun is having a miscarriage, and I have already given her pregnancy-preserving pills.

If the abdominal pain disappears after one stick of incense, the royal heir can be saved.

But if there is no effect for a long time, I am afraid it is..."

Zhang Mi sighed, bowed slightly, and then told others to boil medicine to preserve the pregnancy - after all, nothing happened after an incense stick of time, but it was only temporary. They would need to continue taking the medicine to preserve the pregnancy in order to completely keep the baby.

The only good thing is that the fetus is now eight months old, so even if the baby is born immediately, there is still a chance of keeping it.

Although there is a saying among the people that a fetus of seven months old will survive but eight months old will not, it is just a misunderstanding. The survival rate of a fetus of eight months old is actually much higher.

Soon, even the Queen Mother was alarmed. She did not scold Xia Dongchun immediately, but went to check on Concubine Chun.

Fortunately, Concubine Chun's condition had gradually improved at this time, and her cries of pain had gradually weakened, leaving only faint crying sounds.

Lingrong glanced at the Queen, and the two exchanged glances silently. Then the Queen asked about Xia Dongchun's situation.

Xia Dongchun had no choice but to repeat what she had just said, but the queen was not as patient as Lingrong. She immediately scolded Xia Dongchun and punished her to copy the palace rules. After Chun Guiren recovered, she would bring the copied rules to apologize.

Xia Dongchun was unhappy, but still nodded obediently.

"I understand, Your Majesty."

Seeing that she honestly admitted her mistake, the queen didn't know what to say for a moment, "I will tell the emperor about this matter, as for whether the emperor will punish you, I don't know.

But I will plead for you, and Lady Xia must repent in Yanxi Palace, understand?"

Xia Dongchun nodded again. She felt extremely wronged and ashamed at this moment and wished she could just hide back in the Yanxi Palace.

Fortunately, Zhang Mi came over at this time, and he reported to the Queen Mother about Concubine Chun's condition, "The pregnancy-preserving pills have taken effect, and the fetus in Concubine Chun's belly is temporarily safe.

Your Majesty, Suiyuxuan has already prepared the medicine to preserve the pregnancy, so please send someone to send Concubine Chun back to Suiyuxuan."

The Empress asked in detail about Concubine Chun's current situation. After Zhang Mi answered her questions one by one, she sent someone to send Concubine Chun back.

Because she was worried, the queen followed him to Sui Yuxuan.

Ling Rong accompanied Xia Dongchun and brought the person back to her own Chengqian Palace.

Along the way, Xia Dongchun wanted to talk to Lingrong, but Lingrong didn't want to pay any attention to her and just kept walking forward with her head down.

"Hey, you shouldn't be so angry, I was the one who had the quarrel with Concubine Chun.

If anyone is unhappy, it should be me."

Ling Rong turned to look at Xia Dongchun. She actually wasn't too angry in her heart, but felt more powerless.

It really feels bad when what you say is not taken seriously.

But Lingrong was used to keeping things to herself and would not tell Xia Dongchun about her worries, so she just shook her head and said, "Lady Xia, please be careful. Verbal disputes may make people feel good for a while, but they will cause endless troubles. You have experienced it today."

Xia Dongchun hummed, "I will not quarrel with Concubine Chun anymore. After she gives birth to the child, we will settle all the old and new accounts together."

"It's a good thing to know how to settle accounts, but if you don't use your brain, it's a bad thing, don't you understand?"

"Okay, okay, I get it." Xia Dongchun tried to hold Ling Rong's hand, "But I still don't understand why you are unhappy?"

"Because you didn't listen to what I said."

Ling Rong still said this, "What happened today could have been avoided. Have you ever thought that if someone didn't want Concubine Chun's child to be born, they could have easily framed you today.

It's just that Concubine Chun was lucky, and you were lucky too, so the child was saved."

"..." At this moment, Xia Dongchun regained the feeling of fear she had just felt. She opened her mouth and asked after a long time, "What if later..."

“Any problems that arise from now on will be blamed on you, Lady Xia.

Are you ready?"

Ling Rong smiled, but Xia Dongchun was startled and immediately withdrew her hand. "Then, then I'd better go back and copy the palace rules. While Doctor Zhang cures her, I'll quickly end this conflict."

"You're right, go now, and don't even think about playing with Youning these few days."

Xia Dongchun did what he said. In just two days, he copied the palace rules and took them to Sui Yuxuan to apologize to Chun Changzai.

However, the emperor was still angry and fined Xia Dongchun three more months' monthly salary before he stopped.

Poor Xia Dongchun not only lost money but also lost face. He refused to leave Yixingxuan until Concubine Chun gave birth.

On the day when Concubine Chun gave birth, she did not send anyone out to inquire, for fear that any problems with Concubine Chun or the child would be blamed on her.

After two months of fear and trepidation, it was finally time for Concubine Chun to give birth.

Late at night, all the doctors on duty at the Imperial Medical Bureau were mobilized. In order to prevent a dangerous situation like the one that happened when Concubine Jing gave birth, He Anming and Wei Lin were also called in.

Fortunately, Concubine Chun's pregnancy was tacitly approved by the Empress Dowager, and she did not encounter any conspiracy on the day of delivery. She was in pain for only half an hour before giving birth smoothly.

It’s just that Concubine Chun’s luck seemed to be not very good. She gave birth to a very weak prince, and his crying sounded as weak as a cat’s meow.

Lingrong guessed that Concubine Chun might have used the medicine given by the Empress to get pregnant, so the Seventh Prince was weak since birth and seemed like he could not be raised.

However, the Sixth Prince also used the same prescription, but it was completely different from the Seventh Prince's. Could it be that Concubine Jing discovered the problem and had already made preparations?

But He Anming insisted that the Sixth Prince only looked strong, but was actually very weak inside.

But the emperor didn't know about these things. He only knew that he had a new prince. Finally, people inside and outside the court stopped using the issue of his lack of offspring to poke holes in his spine.

After the seventh prince was born, the emperor gave names to the two princes respectively. The sixth prince was named Hongyi and the seventh prince was named Honghui.

With the birth of Concubine Chun, Lingrong has been pregnant for three months. She has been refusing the emperor's stay for a long time on the pretext of feeling unwell, but today she finally gave in and was willing to let the emperor stay in Chengqian Palace.

However, the emperor was unable to fulfill his wish today, because Lingrong told him that she was pregnant that night.

The emperor was happy in his heart, but still felt a little unwilling.

Among the concubines in the palace who are favored by the emperor, some are pregnant, while others are in confinement after giving birth.

I am an emperor, but I don’t even have a woman to serve me faithfully.

"Is the emperor unhappy that I am pregnant?"

"How could that be? I am very happy that Rong'er is pregnant." The emperor held Lingrong's hand. The bitterness mixed with this joy was probably only the emperor himself who could feel it.

"I understand. Your Majesty has been exhausted from recent government affairs. I'm afraid he hasn't been able to sleep well for many days."

Ling Rong knew that even the emperor could not escape the lust of the world. "Some time ago, Concubine Xia and Concubine Chun had an argument, and the emperor fined her three months' monthly allowance."

The emperor was deeply impressed by this incident. When he heard Lingrong mention it, he subconsciously asked whether Concubine Xia had realized her mistake now.

"She not only realized her mistake, but she even dared not leave Yixingxuan for the past two months.

Lady Xia loves riding horses the most, and I’m afraid she’s going to grow mushrooms in Yixing Pavilion because she’s so bored.”

When he heard about horse riding, the emperor seemed to recall the days in the Old Summer Palace. When Xia, Dong and Chun rode horses, they were truly dashing and heroic.

"With her personality, can she really stay in silence?"

"Really? Concubine Xia likes to play with Youning the most. Now she hasn't come for a long time. Youning misses her a little."

Lingrong presented the emperor with a cup of medicinal food, "I sent someone to look for Concubine Xia, she said she had done something wrong and didn't dare to go out casually.

She doesn’t want the emperor to be angry when he sees her, and is worried that your anger will hurt your health.”

"Mrs. Chun and her son didn't cause any problems because of her quick words, so she shouldn't blame herself like this every day."

Unexpectedly, Lingrong shook her head and refused to go to comfort Concubine Xia on behalf of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to play dumb? Don't you know that Concubine Xia wants you to say in person that you forgive her?"

Lingrong smiled mischievously. The emperor also knew that she could not serve him in bed because she was pregnant, so she just found an excuse to push herself out.

Xia Dongchun has a good relationship with Concubine Sheng, so it is no wonder that she recommended Xia Dongchun instead of others.

The emperor didn't mind the good relationships among the concubines in the harem, but he had some teasing thoughts in mind, "But I think it's better to ask her to control her temper, so that she won't say anything she shouldn't say in the future and cause a big mess."

"Your Majesty is right," Ling Rong agreed with the emperor's words at first, and then turned to make amends for Xia Dongchun, "Lady Xia's temper is like a raging fire, which is rare in the palace. It would be good to temper her a little.

But sometimes I feel that if there were no such dashing people in the palace, it would be much more boring.

Your Majesty, what do you think? "

"If we talk about people with a bold personality, Concubine Xin is one of them. She is also quick-witted, but she is better at reading the atmosphere than Concubine Xia."

After hearing what the emperor said, Ling Rong did not try to persuade him any further. She just did not want the emperor to stay in Chengqian Palace. It would be best if he could go to Xia Dongchun's place, but if he did not want to go, she would not lose anything.

"Then it would be good for Your Majesty to go and see Concubine Xin. Concubine Xin has been with Your Majesty for a long time, and I'm sure she has a lot to say to you."

The emperor shook his head. He felt a little sleepy after drinking the medicinal food and made up his mind not to leave Chengqian Palace tonight.

"Rong'er's pregnancy is a happy event. It's not excessive for me to accompany you tonight.

You, don't need to compete to be the virtuous concubine today and push me out."

"Your Majesty overestimates me. If possible, I would rather be favored and hated than have Your Majesty leave me."

This was a nice statement, and the emperor agreed to Lingrong's suggestion and stayed in Chengqian Palace that night.

But after the second day, he began to frequently go in and out of the Yanx Palace and the Chuxiu Palace to visit Xia Dongchun and Concubine Xin.

The personalities of these two people are indeed favored by the emperor, and their days of favor can be said to be equally shared.

Because of this, the two often quarreled when paying their respects, either comparing the hairpins or the calligraphy and paintings given by the emperor.

But it was always Concubine Xin who won. After all, as soon as she mentioned Princess Shuhe, Xia Dongchun would lose. After all, she had never been pregnant since she entered the palace.

Xin Changzai seized on this point and often made Xia Dongchun so angry that she returned to the palace with a gloomy face.

But she didn't want to get pregnant, because she always felt that it was okay to play with the child for a while. If she really had to worry about the child day and night, her stunning beauty would be ruined.

Therefore, when Ling Rong advised her to take more medicine for conditioning, Xia Dongchun always refused. After all, she was just not pregnant yet, not her appearance was damaged. She didn't care whether she could give birth to a child for the emperor.

Just like this, a month later, it was time for Concubine Chun to leave her confinement. The Empress used this as an excuse to hold a flower-viewing banquet to celebrate.

It's just that last year there was Concubine Hua to help, and although this year there is Concubine Jing, she is now reciting scriptures every day in Xianfu Palace and refuses to attend no matter what.

The queen could only focus on Lingrong, the concubine.
