An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

The Seventh Prince held Chun's hand, looked up cautiously and called out "Mother".

Chun agreed with a smile and even squatted down to ask him how he was doing recently, but he never picked up the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince was looking forward to it. He reached out his hand several times but was ignored. Even after he entered the house, his mother did not hug him even once.

He didn't know whether it was because he was slow to get out of Empress Wan's arms and made his mother unhappy, or whether his mother was just the same as before and just didn't like him very much.

But Empress Wan said that her mother loved her, otherwise she would not have done such stupid things, nor would she have tried every means to beg the Emperor to bring her back.

Why? Why didn't my mother want to hug me?

The Seventh Prince looked back at Concubine Wan, who smiled at him and motioned for him to go find Chun to get the agreement.

But all this changed in Chun Da Ying's eyes. It was clearly the emperor who took the initiative to say that he wanted to send the Seventh Prince back, but then it turned into a favor asked by Zhen Huan.

Although the Seventh Prince is her son, he has a close relationship with Concubine Wan. Even when he returns to her side, she still looks at him reluctantly.

Is Lady Wan really that good? One by one, two people like to stick to her.

"Chun agreed," Concubine Wan finally spoke. Her smile was gentle, attracting everyone present to look at her. "When the Seventh Prince came back, he whispered to me that he wanted to give Mother a big hug."

"Really?" Chun agreed, her voice rising unconsciously, then quickly lowered. She spoke as gently as possible, "Honghui, come here, mother."

When the Seventh Prince heard Chun Da Ying calling him, his eyes immediately lit up, and he ran to Chun Da Ying and fell on her knees.

Chun Da Ying reached down to touch his head, then held him in her arms. The smile on Seventh Prince's face grew even wider, and he leaned in Chun Da Ying's arms, calling her "mother".

"I miss you so much, mother."

"Mother misses you too, Honghui." Chun agreed and sighed slightly. Although she had a mother-son relationship with her son, there was always a layer of distance between them, as if the child was not born by her.

In the final analysis, it was because Chun Da Ying was still a child psychologically. After the Seventh Prince was born, her identity became the Seventh Prince's mother. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to someone who was still a child psychologically.

Now that they have been separated for a month, it is rare that they can still act like a loving mother and a filial son.

When Concubine Wan saw that the Seventh Prince was able to hug his mother, she was also happy. She winked at the Seventh Prince, indicating that she had done what she said.

The emperor also knew about the agreement between the Seventh Prince and Concubine Wan. Seeing this, he felt a little relieved, but he felt a little uncomfortable with Chun's performance.

She really looks like the Empress Dowager. When I returned to her, she had the same attitude. She didn't want to get close to me, but she had to get close to me anyway.

This attitude was too distant, and it had left a knot in the emperor's heart since he was a child. Now that he saw Chun Da Ying treating his son in the same way, his anger began to rise uncontrollably.

Zhen Huan seemed to have noticed something unusual about the Emperor. She called him softly, reminding him that there were rewards for the Seventh Prince and Chun Da Ying.

The emperor nodded and asked Su Peisheng to bring in some nourishing supplements. "You and your son should both take good care of yourselves. You don't have to be too restrained in the Old Summer Palace."

"I thank the emperor. Concubine Sheng once told me that if I need anything, I can go to Shuimu Mingse to find her.

It seems that this is also the emperor's order. I am really flattered."

The emperor nodded, and did not feel any sympathy for Chun Da Ying. Instead, he felt more annoyed with her.

Chun Da Ying didn't know that the emperor's opinion of her had changed. She simply thought that it was because Zhen Huan was present and the emperor didn't want to offend Zhen Huan, so he was so cold to her.

"Concubine Sheng is a steady person. I feel relieved to have her take care of you and Honghui."

When mentioning Concubine Sheng, the emperor's expression changed a little. When he saw the watermelon presented by Xue'er, he even mentioned that Lingrong had made frozen watermelon slices in a unique way.

"...It's like something you can eat in winter. It's very refreshing and thirst-quenching. Youning also likes it very much."

"Then we must go to Shuimu Mingse to visit Empress Sheng some other day. We must not miss such delicious food."

Zhen Huan responded with a smile, and by chatting and laughing with the emperor, she managed to warm up the awkward atmosphere in the room.

"The watermelon juice you made for me is also good, with a refreshing taste."

"This is all thanks to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They not only sent watermelons, but also mint and other fruits. I asked Bai Zhi to grind different kinds of fruits into juice and added Biluochun to it, and then we made such a pot of tea.

The emperor thought it was just watermelon juice, so he didn't taste it carefully. I'll have to give him another pot."

"Sister Wan, are you only sending it to the emperor? My sister and Honghui are still here, Sister Wan, please don't be partial to one over the other."

"Of course, how could I forget Chun'er?" Zhen Huan smiled, she sat next to Chun'er, held her hand and chattered, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, there are many things we need to talk about!"

"Yes, Sister Wan." Chun agreed and smiled happily. In front of the emperor, she tried her best to act like a harmonious sister with Zhen Huan.

However, Zhen Huan seemed to really want to make friends with Chun, so she brought the drink over that night and repeatedly reminded him to drink it while it was fresh, otherwise it would easily go bad.

The emperor rested at Wuling Spring Scenery tonight. Chun agreed and did not refuse. He, Honglu and the emperor really drank this drink.

I have to say that this drink tastes great. Even Honghui liked it very much and drank several cups in a row.

"Empress, Baizhi has brought a message and is back." Zhaoshui called out to the sleepy Lingrong in a low voice.

Hearing that it was Bai Zhi's news, Ling Rong opened her eyes, "What did she say?"

"According to the Queen's instructions, a little addictive drug was added to the drink. Now the drink has been sent to Wuling Spring. As long as Chun agrees to drink it, he will definitely continue to drink it."

"The effect of the medicine will only last for three to five days. It depends on whether Jinpin can seize this opportunity."

Zhaoshui squeezed Lingrong's shoulders and hesitated when she heard Jinpin's name. "Your Majesty, it was actually Jinpin who wanted revenge. Why did you use Baizhi to help?"

Ling Rong had slowly regained consciousness at this point, and she rubbed her numb arm, "I didn't mean to help her, I just wanted to put the blame on Zhen Huan.

The fact that this matter developed so smoothly was somewhat beyond my expectation."

"It's actually normal, Your Majesty," Zhaoshui said slowly, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs purchased watermelons a long time ago, and the sheep and cattle were bought and raised.

Nowadays, these two things are in the most supply. Even if the queens in the palaces don’t like them that much, they don’t have many more choices.

Rather than saying it was a coincidence, it would be better to say that if all interferences were eliminated, wouldn’t this coincidence become a necessity?”

Hearing Zhaoshui say this, Lingrong felt somewhat relieved, not because of Zhaoshui's praise, but because she thought of how Zhaoshui looked when he first entered the palace.

She gradually understood a lot of things, just like growing a flower with her own hands, which is very worth celebrating.

"It's not enough to have a certainty once. We also need to help create a second certainty."

It is not enough to have Zhen Huan alone, the Queen must also be involved. He must find a way to make the Queen and Zhen Huan fight each other, so that he will have the opportunity to reap the benefits.

"Concubine Tian has already started contacting the Queen, but the Queen is obviously unwilling to trust Concubine Tian."

"Don't worry, Concubine Tian's purpose is to stimulate the Queen."

"What your Majesty means is that the Empress is not actually worried about Concubine Wan having a child and taking the Manchu surname. After all, the Emperor must have felt a thorn in his heart about what Concubine Wan had done, and he will not support her to take the throne of Empress.

But Concubine Tian is different. She has a good family background and is not so calculating. Instead, she has a chance to be sent to the position of empress. "

Ling Rong nodded, "You seem like a storyteller today. You see things so clearly."

Zhaoshui felt a little embarrassed. She stopped massaging Lingrong's shoulders and said, "Your Majesty asked me to do these things these past two days. I have been thinking about them. I didn't expect that I could actually guess one or two things right."

"This is a good thing. If you were a fool, I wouldn't dare to tell you to do anything."

"Then I must work harder. Your Majesty, rest assured, this matter will be very smooth."

Lingrong did not undermine Zhaoshui's self-confidence. She just reminded her to be vigilant and not forget her original caution because of momentary complacency.

Zhaoshui had been with Lingrong for a long time, so he naturally knew what Lingrong meant. Being cautious alone was not enough, and being clever alone was not enough either. Only by being cautious and clever could one truly accomplish things.

Three days later, when discussing matters, Ling Rong could clearly see that Zhen Huan, Chun Da Ying and Jin Pin had become much closer, especially Jin Pin, who seemed to have become close sisters with Zhen Huan. Even if Chun Da Ying was among them, it could not stop the two of them from being "heart to heart".

It's just that Zhen Huan accepts everyone except Shen Meiyu. Although they are sisters, their relationship is not the kind of bond that is stronger than gold - but the superficial affection is enough.

Chun agreed and tried to join in the conversation, but Cao Qinmo was always lukewarm towards her because of Wen Yi, which resulted in the three of them never being able to truly become a whole.

Lingrong was lamenting Cao Qinmo's art of flattery, and she did not forget to encourage Concubine Tian and Xia Dongchun to speak up, using the method of squeezing Cao Qinmo to gain more trust from Zhen Huan.

However, Cao Qinmo didn't say anything. Instead, Concubine Qi couldn't sit still. She spoke up to help Zhen Huan retort to Concubine Tian, ​​but finally shut up under the pressure of her position.

After Zhen Huan tried her best to mediate, Cao Qinmo was finally willing to give Chun a good look. The two held hands and started talking about raising children again.

"Wen Yi is weak. I have asked the imperial physician and he needs to take more dietary supplements to recuperate.

A lot of mutton has been used recently, and fortunately Wen Yi doesn’t dislike it, so he also uses more of it.”

"Sister, is this mutton more effective than medicine?"

Cao Qinmo shook her head and said, "Dietary supplements are a slow way of replenishing our body through daily life. They do have some effect, but they are not as effective as medicine.

Sister, please don't randomly use any dietary therapy on Seventh Prince. If you really want to use it, you should ask the imperial physician in advance.

If the imperial physician says it is useful, I have some recipes for cooking mutton here. Children like it very much. You can copy a copy for your sister."

Zhen Huan also echoed the sentiment. After all, there were intrigues and deceptions in the harem, and no one knew who would tamper with the food, so it was better to be cautious.

However, Zhen Huan did not say this out loud. She just asked Chun to be careful, after all, the Seventh Prince's health was not good.

"Chun'er will be careful. Since Honghui came back, he has been drinking the drinks sent by Sister Wan every day. One day he didn't get to drink any, and he was quite unhappy."

"Oh?" Cao Qinmo looked surprised, "What kind of drink could have such great magical power?"

"It's the watermelon juice made by Sister Wan. It seems that there are many other fruits added to it. It tastes refreshing and delicious. Even I like it very much."

Cao Qinmo nodded thoughtfully. Someone had already sent the watermelon anyway, so she might as well send some mutton. With this two-way calculation, no one would be able to find anything unusual.

In order to successfully deliver the mutton and the recipe to Chun Da Ying, Cao Qinmo took the opportunity of resting in Wuling Chunse to call Doctor Zhou over and ask about the mutton.

Doctor Zhou looked at the recipes and did not find anything unusual. There were even some real food tonic recipes. So he told Chun to use them with confidence.

Chun was relieved after she agreed, but she still asked someone to test it for a day and made sure the palace servants found nothing unusual before she started to prepare the delicious food.

Seeing that she and Honghui liked each other, Cao Qinmo and Wan Guiren would give her some of their own shares, which would be sent to Wuling Chunse's small kitchen by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so no other trouble would arise.

Chun agreed to use it with peace of mind, and no abnormalities occurred for the time being.

Instead, it was Concubine Qi whose pregnancy was exposed first, causing all the eyes of the palace to be on her.

The happiest person was the Emperor. There had been no good news in the palace recently. Concubine Qi was beautiful and could please him, so he naturally took good care of her since she was pregnant.

In addition, the previous dynasty's Guaerjia family was also very dedicated, and the emperor was happy to give Concubine Qi more face, so he decided to promote her to the position of concubine after she gave birth to the child, and she could enjoy the treatment of a concubine during her pregnancy.

Although she was not promoted to a concubine immediately, it was enough to make Concubine Qi happy. However, she was still not satisfied. She even began to plan to pretend to injure the fetus so as to gain the emperor's favor and promote herself.

In this way, once she gives birth to a royal heir, she might be able to be directly conferred the title of consort, and also have the power to assist in managing the six palaces.

Concubine Qi was so happy about this that she actually started to plan behind the scenes. However, her methods were full of loopholes, and apart from inviting the emperor to live in her palace, she did not get anything else.
