An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

After Zhen Huan's pleading, the Emperor temporarily gave up the idea of ​​sending the Seventh Prince to her to raise him.

After all, the fault was with Chun Da Ying, not the Seventh Prince. Now that he has been separated from his mother, he is already suffering. Asking him to recognize her as his mother would seem a bit too cruel.

"Your Majesty, I have been taking good care of myself recently. I think I will have a chance to be his heir."

The Emperor was the most clear about Zhen Huan's physical condition. He knew that it was impossible for Zhen Huan to get pregnant. The safflower and musk she had taken before had completely ruined her body.

Moreover, the Emperor smelled the spices burning in Zhen Huan's palace, and the new fragrance he brought for Zhen Huan also contained a large amount of horse musk.

Just like Concubine Hua, as long as you use it every day, it will be even more impossible to get pregnant.

"If any prince or princess's mother is away and lonely, I am willing to take good care of her for Your Majesty.

It’s just that the princes and princesses in the palace are all raised by their mothers, and even though they are separated temporarily, there is always a chance for them to meet again.

As for the concubines, I am afraid that they really have no chance of having children."

The emperor listened to Zhen Huan for a long time, but she never mentioned the Fourth Prince. He frowned and said, "Hongli's mother died a long time ago."

"Fourth Brother?"

Zhen Huan pretended to be surprised, as if she had just remembered such a person, "It's my fault. I'm really not familiar with the Fourth Prince, and we haven't met each other very often, so..."

"It doesn't matter. The Fourth Prince grew up in the garden. You don't have many opportunities to see him."

"I think the Fourth Prince is also a very smart and talented child," Zhen Huan said with a smile, "Look, the Emperor's expression softened when he mentioned the Fourth Prince."

“He’s suffered a lot, too.”

"I will ask Yueqing to visit the Fourth Prince later. If there is anything missing, I will make up for it for him."

"He doesn't lack anything. I think it's time to find him a mother."

"This..." Zhen Huan naturally wanted the emperor to choose her, but she did not show it. Instead, she talked about the Fourth Prince's situation. "The Fourth Prince was born early and is already quite old. If we are to find a suitable mother for him, I'm afraid... only the Empress and Li Changzai are of the right age in the palace."

However, these two people were busy fighting for the Third Prince, and were under house arrest, so it was impossible for them to adopt the Fourth Prince.

Zhen Huan secretly guessed that the Emperor mentioned the Fourth Prince with the intention of sending him to her to raise. However, she was no longer a member of the Zhen family, so it was almost impossible for her to record the Fourth Prince in her own imperial genealogy.

So...it's best to find a way to restore my identity. Zhen Huan secretly made up her mind, and the smile on her face became more gentle. "What does the emperor think?"

"Neither of them is suitable."

The Emperor directly rejected Zhen Huan's proposal. He actually didn't want to find an adoptive mother for the Fourth Prince, but now the children are getting older and older, only a three-way balance can maintain their balance.

Hongli was the only one without the support of his maternal family. I'm afraid he would be pushed off the throne before he even had to compete with Hongshi and Hongzhou.

"What about Concubine Jing? Or Concubine Jin and Concubine Xin. They are of similar ages and are suitable candidates."

The people Zhen Huan mentioned all have children, but the emperor has never considered them.

Especially Concubine Jing, she already has the Sixth Prince, and she might not have the energy to take care of Hongli.

What's more, her position is already too high. Having another prince would only disrupt the balance of the harem.

"Wanwan, the person I like is actually you."

"My concubine?" Zhen Huan pretended to be surprised and shook her head repeatedly, "Your Majesty, the age difference between me and the Fourth Prince is not that big. I am afraid that this will cause criticism in the court."

"What are you criticizing?" The emperor looked at Zhen Huan coldly. He didn't even have any extra expression. Just one look made Zhen Huan kneel down.

"Your Majesty, I have been surrounded by rumors. Two people who are clearly unrelated were rumored to have had an affair.

If the Fourth Prince became my son, I am afraid that I would influence him."

The Emperor knew that Zhen Huan had a bad reputation, and he also knew in his heart that she was the kind of person who had private dealings with others. Her repeated attempts to make excuses were nothing more than a way to regain his favor.

But the lotus root is already in the mud, and no matter how white it is, it cannot wash away the stench of the mud.

"I thought you had forgotten him a long time ago."

Zhen Huan calmed down. The last thing she could mention between her and the emperor was Prince Guo. "I am just worried that someone would maliciously slander the Fourth Prince because of my past reputation."

Using the Fourth Prince as an excuse is a good reason. Zhen Huan gently unraveled the matter about Prince Guo, "Besides, I don't have a status now, and I am not considered a daughter of the Zhen family.

If the Fourth Prince acknowledges me as his adoptive mother, I am afraid that I will still be a burden to him, causing others to look down on him."

The Emperor's original intention was to find a foster mother for the Fourth Prince with a respectable family background, but Zhen Huan's identity was indeed awkward and did not seem suitable.

Zhen Huan was worried that the emperor would not restore her status as a Zhen family member, so she could only retreat and continue to persuade the emperor, "As long as I can serve the emperor, it is the greatest blessing in the world.

It is destined that I will not have children in this life. Please don't delay the Fourth Prince and let him suffer because of me."

Zhen Huan's words were so sincere that the Emperor didn't think she had other thoughts.

"Let me think about it again."

The emperor couldn't think of any good solution for a while. The identity of Concubine Wan was destined to no longer be Zhen Huan. After a few days, Concubine Xu of Ganlu Temple passed away, and Zhen Huan disappeared completely from this world.

As for her identity, the emperor's eyes darkened and he suddenly thought of a good idea.

Just find a clan and put her in it, the problem is how to choose this clan.

The emperor's selfish affection lies in the Ulanara family. There is no other reason for this, because Rouze is this surname. Ulanara Wanwan is indeed a suitable name for Zhen Huan.

But the emperor also felt that Zhen Huan would tarnish Rouze's family name. After all, Rouze was not a fickle woman like her, and she would not have any affairs with men outside of her or have private affairs with them.

If it was Uya... The emperor thought about it and decided to give up. He remembered that when he entered the palace with Zhen Huan and others, a woman from the Nianhulu clan was supposed to enter the palace, but she already had a lover. After being chosen to enter the palace, she swore to death and refused to obey. She hanged herself at home before entering the palace.

This matter was a scandal, and the emperor did not want such a thing that would damage his reputation to be spread, so he ordered the news to be blocked.

Among the concubines, only the Queen and Concubine Hua knew, because of the allocation of palaces, that this Nianhulu had never entered the palace and was only entered in name.

Now that Zhen Huan has filled the eighth vacancy, let her take the surname Nianhulu.

Anyway, because of the matter of the Niuhuru's daughter, the entire Niuhuru family is under his control, and there is no need to worry about them having other thoughts.

"Get up. In a few days, I will fulfill your dream of becoming a mother."

Zhen Huan couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking at the moment. She was quite confused, but she still stood up and sat down as the emperor said.

"Your Majesty, do you want to..."

"Just wait for the good news."

The emperor was unwilling to reveal more and just dealt with it vaguely. Zhen Huan naturally didn't know that while she was plotting against the emperor, she was also being plotted against by him.

Even though she felt a little uneasy in her heart, she had to suppress it in the end.

On the second day, the emperor issued an edict to promote Nianhulu Wanwan to Guiren Wan. Although Zhen Huan was promoted, her title suddenly became a name, and in the end it was only half a level higher than before.

Lingrong thought that the emperor just wanted to give Zhen Huan an official identity, but she didn't expect that after about five days, the emperor actually recorded Hongli in Zhen Huan's jade book, making him Zhen Huan's son.

Although this happened in the previous life, Ling Rong was really surprised that it could get back on track in this way in this life.

As she listened to the decree, she even wondered if her rebirth was just a joke. God would keep correcting the story he had tampered with, and would eventually let Zhen Huan, who should have won, win, and let herself, the thief who stole time, return everything.

After sending away the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, Ling Rong suddenly felt a little tired. No matter how long she planned and schemed, she could not beat Zhen Huan.

Is it that Zhen Huan is really a female Zhuge Liang, or is she just too lucky, so that others look down on her but cannot kill her.

Poison, poison, poison!

Lingrong screamed in her heart, and for the first time she felt that she should use this method to send Zhen Huan to see Queen Chunyuan.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Zhaoshui called Lingrong softly, "I have prepared some gifts. Would you like to send them to Yuedi Yunju?"

"You prepared this gift really quickly," Ling Rong sighed. She took a quick look and knew that Zhao Shui had prepared it properly. There would be no mistakes if she gave it to him. "But you don't have to give it to him yet. Keep it."

"Your Majesty, are you planning to see if other people have sent gifts?" Zhaoshui was a little confused, but she still sorted out the things. "I know that Concubine Xin has already sent gifts, and Concubine Jing has also sent people to send gifts. Why don't we send any?"

"Not yet."

Ling Rong still insisted, "The two people who sent the gifts are both on good terms with Zhen Huan. The others have not moved yet. Do you know why?"

Zhaoshui thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Because of the previous share issue? The other concubines have a problem with Lady Wan, so they are unwilling to congratulate her at this time?"

"This is just one of the reasons. The bigger reason lies with the Fourth Prince.

The third prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince, the three princes are not much different in age. Although they have not yet reached adulthood, they are already sensible and can even handle some things for the emperor.

The emperor suddenly found a foster mother for the Fourth Prince at this time, a woman from the Niuhulu family. This behavior was very strange.

Everyone was worried about being involved in the appointment of a crown prince or competing for that position, so they didn't dare to step forward to curry favor. They always had to wait for the family to give them accurate information before they dared to take action.

As for why we didn’t send it, it wasn’t because of these two reasons.”

"Why is that?" Zhaoshui became more and more curious. She even slowed down the way she packed her things, fearing that she would miss any word Lingrong said.

"Because I don't like her, I don't want to send it."

"what?"

Zhaoshui looked at Lingrong in confusion. Although his own queen did have a feud with Concubine Wan, it was rare for her to ignore the face-saving interactions like she did today just because she disliked someone.

"Didn't Her Majesty say that since this is in the Imperial Palace, even if we are opponents, we must be polite and not abandon etiquette?"

"I did say that, but the timing is not good this time. We can't rush to send it."

Lingrong didn't want to explain too much to Zhaoshui. She waved her hand and told Zhaoshui to go and think about it himself.

Not long after, Concubine Tian came over with Xia Dongchun, and the first thing she asked was, "Have you given a gift to Concubine Wan?"

"No."

Ling Rong spoke briefly and to the point. She looked at Concubine Tian and smiled meaningfully, "Concubine Tian brought Concubine Xia here just to ask me about this?

I'm not a fool, and giving gifts at this time would be crazy."

"Going crazy? You used that word well." Xia Dongchun laughed, "Noble Concubine Jing is going crazy along with Noble Lady Xin."

"What can they do? Concubine Xin only has one daughter, and Concubine Jing can't raise her son.

Now, in the palace, only the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince are older enough to show up in front of the Emperor.

Especially the Fourth Prince, his mother's family is now the Nianhulu clan, and this identity and background have helped him a lot.

It would be beneficial to befriend Lady Wan at this time."

"You don't even want this benefit? An Lingrong, this is not like you."

Concubine Tian hinted at something. She motioned for Sang'er to take Huai Ke and You Ning to play together. "Could it be that you also have that idea, wanting your Eighth Prince to be favored by the emperor?"

"Who doesn't want their children to be favored by the emperor?" Ling Rong did not hide anything. She stared at the backs of the children leaving the house in a trance. "No one knows who will sit on the throne of the crown prince in the end. Of course, the emperor has also said that he will never appoint a crown prince.

However, both my Eighth Prince and Concubine Jing’s Sixth Prince are too young. It will take many years for them to show their faces in front of the Emperor and become his right-hand men.

But it is different for the Third Prince and the others. They can do it now, and the benefits it brings are real.

But I don’t want to please Lady Wan, and I don’t want her to take the position of Queen or even Queen Mother smoothly.”

"But she is now a member of the Niuhulu family. Although Niuhulu is not as good as my Fucha family, she is still a Manchu woman, which means she has the opportunity to sit on the position of queen.

Plus, she has the Fourth Prince by her side, so it’s hard for us to compete with her.”

"Yes, it is difficult for us to compete with her now, so we have to think of some other ways, Empress Tian."
