An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

The emperor was silent for a moment, knowing that what he said might be offensive, so he stopped talking and turned to ask Lingrong about the matters of Concubine Qi and Concubine Xin.

"When Concubine Qi entered the palace, she was often nervous, causing the Emperor to go over to see her even when he was staying at Concubine Xin's place.

The friction between the two people started at that time. The conflict this time was not only about the promotion, but also about the previous conflicts. "

As Ling Rong was speaking, she picked up the embroidery needle again and said, "If the emperor is really annoyed by these two people, it would be better to move Concubine Qi to another palace. She has a very good relationship with Concubine Chun and will definitely not cause the emperor any worries."

"Sui Yuxuan's words are a little far away."

"If the emperor feels it is too far, there are still Changchun Palace, Yongshou Palace, and Qixiang Palace. These palaces are closer and convenient for the emperor to visit."

Concubine Qi is very beautiful, and the emperor is already tolerant of her. In addition, she has been ill recently, so he naturally has more pity for her.

In the eyes of the emperor, Xinpin was a mean person who had obtained the title of concubine. The emperor did not punish her, but took action against Lianqiao, which was considered to be giving her enough face.

Now Lingrong's suggestion to ask Concubine Qi to move to the palace is in line with the emperor's wishes. However, this sounds harsh to the emperor, as if he has always favored Concubine Qi.

"Noble Lady Qi is not in good health. Your Majesty should appoint an imperial physician to take care of her. There are too few female physicians, and their medical skills are not that sophisticated. I am afraid that this will delay Noble Lady Qi's treatment."

"It would be more convenient for a female doctor to take care of me personally. I thought I'd ask Lian Qiao to follow me."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking too much," Lingrong said, but she had no intention of stopping. "Lian Qiao did not go to treat Concubine Qi immediately last night. Although there are reasons that everyone knows, there is no guarantee that Concubine Qi will not be suspicious.

If Lianqiao is transferred there, I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect."

Seeing that the emperor was hesitant, Ling Rong spoke again, "The Imperial Hospital has trained several new female doctors, especially one named Song Lan, who is particularly good at pulse diagnosis and gynecology. Asking her to take care of Concubine Qi is more suitable than Lian Qiao."

"You do know something about female doctors." When the emperor heard that Lingrong not only knew the names of the female doctors, but also knew what they were good at, he began to doubt Lingrong's intentions.

Ling Rong was not in a hurry. The silver needle in her hand flew and soon she embroidered the outline of a butterfly. "Zhao Shui is also a female doctor. She studies in the Imperial Hospital every day. Naturally, she knows all this. If I pretend to know nothing, I will really deceive the emperor.

If the emperor insists that Lian Qiao is suitable, then send Lian Qiao. After all, it is not what I need, so I certainly have no objection."

Anyway, the female doctors are all Lingrong's people, so she naturally doesn't care who the emperor sends. She doesn't want to ask Lian Qiao to go, just because she doesn't want Lian Qiao to suffer.

After Lingrong determined the position of the butterfly, she removed the outline and slowly embroidered it stitch by stitch, occasionally looking at the style from a distance, as if the emperor was not around at all.

The emperor felt uncomfortable all over after being left out for a while. He looked up at what Lingrong was doing, then lay back on the chaise longue.

"Then let's do as Rong'er said and send Song Lan over."

Lingrong nodded but did not respond to the emperor. She even sat further away and leaned closer to the sunlight to look at the flowers she had embroidered.

"As for the palace, then let her go to Changchun Palace. She will live alone and won't have conflicts with other concubines."

"Your Majesty is wise. Concubine Qi will be very happy after hearing this. I think her panic disorder will be relieved."

Lingrong responded indifferently as before. She had the responsibility to assist in managing the six palaces. Logically speaking, she should have been responsible for looking after such a major event as the relocation of the palace.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Please handle these matters before the promotion ceremony."

"Yes, I understand." Ling Rong finally put down the embroidery frame in her hand, "But I am worried that the emperor will think that I am not doing a good job. After all, the emperor is worried that choosing a female doctor may have ulterior motives.

If anything goes wrong with Concubine Qi during this period, I really cannot bear the responsibility."

"Why, are you expressing your dissatisfaction with me?"

"Yes," Ling Rong nodded directly, which surprised the emperor, "Your Majesty doubts my intentions, and I am disappointed by your doubts.

I don't know what I have done wrong. The Emperor often doubts my actions and even tests me in words.

Just like the matter of my promotion, I have clearly said that I should not be promoted without any merit or virtue, but in the end, the Emperor still doubts whether I will be angry because I was not promoted.

Your Majesty, can you tell me why you doubt my words and actions? Is it because I have done something wrong? "

"I was just asking casually, but you are so impatient. As a concubine, you must be broad-minded."

Ling Rong sneered in her heart, "When I think about it, I know that I am broad-minded enough and have never used my power or position to bully any concubine.

But the Emperor does not trust me at all, and even doubts my intentions. This is something I have never been able to understand.

Now that we have come to this, I would like Your Majesty to answer my questions and explain everything to me."

Ling Rong knelt down slowly. She looked up at the emperor's eyes. Even though she was stared at by the emperor's sharp gaze, she had no intention of retreating.

But what could the emperor say? He said he thought women were like villains and were too clever and scheming.

Or maybe he was just suspicious by nature, not only did he not trust his own partner, he also didn't trust many of the ministers in the court.

But a woman is a woman after all, no matter how many tricks and schemes she has, she can't hide it from her own eyes. The emperor muttered in his heart, then stood up very politely, stretched out his hand and took Ling Rong up.

"Look at how suspicious you are. I just asked one more question because I was concerned about the affairs in the harem. Why do you worry that I don't trust you?"

Lingrong took the emperor's hand and slowly stood up. She knew that it was not good to force the emperor like this. What she did today was just to make the emperor let down his guard against her.

If you are constantly suspected by the Emperor, you will find it difficult to take a single step even if you become a Royal Concubine, and the so-called power to assist in managing the six palaces will be empty talk.

What Lingrong wants is power like that of the Empress, to be able to handle all arrangements regarding palace maids and concubines directly without the Emperor's permission.

"No matter how much I do in the harem, it's all to help His Majesty and His Majesty the Empress. If the Emperor suspects me, what's the point of me doing all this?"

Ling Rong broke free from the emperor's hand and sat aside by herself. "If it will cause the emperor to distrust me, I would rather give up the power of assisting the six palaces. After all, the queen is in good health now and does not need my assistance at all.

Because of these things in the harem, I haven't slept well for many days and nights. I hope Your Majesty will have pity on me and give me more time to rest."

"The queen's headache is incurable, Rong'er knows that." The emperor sighed, and went along with Ling Rong's thoughts to comfort her, "Jing Guifei lives in seclusion and rarely goes out, and doesn't care about the affairs of the six palaces. Now only you can relieve my worries."

As soon as the emperor said this, Lingrong knew that the purpose of the emperor's soft words at this time was that he did not trust the queen, that no one could help him control the harem, and that he still wanted Lingrong, who was obedient, to continue working for him.

This was what Ling Rong wanted, so she naturally agreed, "Your Majesty, I am willing to help you solve your problems, but please trust me a little more.

I rarely have conflicts with the sisters in the harem, and even my status is higher than many people because of the emperor's favor.

Under such circumstances, I had no reason at all to murder them. All I did was to make the harem more peaceful.

I also know that the Emperor suspects me because when Concubine Xin and Noble Lady Qi exchanged palaces, I sent Zhaoshui and Xiaochizi to Chuxiu Palace.

But the emperor sent Eunuch Su to investigate and he would know that I sent people there only because Xinpin, as the head of a palace, has the right to live in the main hall. "

"I understand. You did nothing wrong. Lady Qi's condition was also sudden. It is understandable that you failed to discover it in advance.

There is no need to say more about this matter. The next matter of moving the palace and settling the people will be left to you. Please do not delay the promotion ceremony."

The emperor kept talking about the promotion ceremony, as if he attached great importance to it, but Lingrong knew from the look on his face that the emperor didn't really care.

However, with the emperor's words, Lingrong found it much easier to do things. She did not show up, but still sent Zhaoshui and Xiaochizi to order Concubine Qi to be moved to Changchun Palace.

In order to get Concubine Qi to move out obediently, Ling Rong even let her live directly in the main hall. This made Concubine Qi happy, and she shouted in the courtyard of Chuxiu Palace for a long time that it was a reward from the emperor.

Of course Concubine Xin was unhappy, but she still hid in the main hall and did not go out. No matter how arrogant Concubine Qi was, she turned a deaf ear to him and just sat in the hall playing with the birds.

"Your Majesty, this noble lady Qi is so lucky. She just made a scene and the emperor gave her the throne of Changchun Palace."

"She is lucky. Not only did she move to Changchun Palace, but she also has a female doctor who serves her full-time. But so what? She is still a noble lady, and I am a concubine. She still has to pay respects to me when she sees me."

Lu'er brought the bird food over, and then responded to Xinpin's words, "I heard that Concubine Sheng assigned a female doctor named Songlan, and Lianqiao will stay in Chuxiu Palace to take care of the queen.

But this Lian Qiao... Madam, can she be trusted?"

"She has served Concubine Qi for so long, so she is indeed not trustworthy. We don't need her on weekdays, so just let her live in the palace.

But you have to keep an eye on her, don't let her be lazy, or spread the news about our palace."

"Don't worry, Madam. I will keep a close eye on her. She will never let anyone know about our Chuxiu Palace."

Xinpin nodded and put the bird food in her hand into the cage. "It's a good thing that she is in our Chuxiu Palace. If you or other palace people have a headache or fever, you can get treatment.

So you should get along better with her on a daily basis, and don't be rude to her just because she served Concubine Qi."

"I understand." Lu'er nodded indifferently. After all, she felt that she was in good health and there was no way she could ask Lian Qiao for help.

"Go check the situation again and send a cup of tea to Zhaoshui and Xiaochizi. These two are Concubine Sheng's people, so you should give them more face."

Lu'er agreed. She took the freshly brewed tea and went to the courtyard to find a mirror. Just as she handed the tea over, she heard Jingtai, who was beside Concubine Qi, speaking in a sarcastic tone and saying something about being too attentive for no reason.

Zhao Shui thanked him and took the tea and took a sip. "My queen asked me to say hello to Concubine Xin, and Miss Lu'er happened to be here."

"My queen saw that the young lady and Eunuch Chi had been standing in the courtyard for a long time. She was worried that the two of them were thirsty or tired, so she asked me to come and take a look.

I didn't expect that you two have been standing here for so long without even a sip of water."

Lu'er said that she cared about Zhaoshui and the others, but she was actually responding to Jingtai.

Upon hearing this, Jingtai also brought over some tea, and was determined to pour tea for Zhaoshui. "Miss Zhaoshui is here to help our nobleman, so we will naturally take good care of her. Some people really like to steal the limelight and serve her some inferior tea."

Jingtai held the teacup and poured the boiling hot tea into it. The teacup fell to the ground and broke into several pieces with a snap.

"Zhaoshui, are you okay?" Xiaochizi was the first to react. He pulled Zhaoshui's wrist and looked at his scalded finger. "Are you stupid? You were holding it even though the scalding hot tea was poured down."

Zhaoshui patted Xiaochi's hand, indicating that he was fine, "You two, this tea needs to be cleaned up. It would be bad if the broken porcelain pieces hurt the two young ladies."

"Oh, how could you be so careless." Lu'er quickly snatched Zhaoshui's hand away and blew on it in a worried manner, "Look, your fingers are all burned red. How could you be so stupid that you can't even pour some tea properly?"

"It's just a burn, it's nothing serious."

"Why is it okay? Miss Lianqiao is in the main hall. I'll take you to her and apply some burn medicine."

Not only did Lu'er not let go, she pulled even tighter and directly pulled Zhaoshui away, leaving Xiaochizi and Jingtai looking at each other in bewilderment.

"What kind of person is this? She's the only one who has a mouth that speaks in a sarcastic tone." Jingtai snorted and kicked the broken porcelain pieces away. "Eunuch Chi, do you want some tea?"

"No, no," Xiao Chizi quickly put down the cup in his hand, fearing that Jingtai would burn his hand, "I've already drunk enough."

"real or fake?"

Jingtai looked at Xiaochizi in disbelief. After thinking about it, she added some tea to the cup on the table.

"Chunhua, sweep up the porcelain pieces on the floor and clean them up. The queen will have to move out of the palace soon. Don't scratch her. Hurry up!"
