An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red
Chapter 89 Small talk
"I, like Concubine Hua, can sleep well every night." Zhen Huan smiled slightly, and her younger face hurt Concubine Hua's eyes.
Concubine Hua is only 24 years old now, but she is always worried that she is not as young and fresh as these teenage girls, so she lets these vixens seduce the emperor.
Now that Zhen Huan was being so sarcastic, she could no longer sit still and only regretted that she couldn't do it herself and give her a slap.
"Now the truth has been revealed," Shen Meizhuang looked at the tense situation and was worried that Zhen Huan had displeased Concubine Hua again. "Huan'er, you must be careful in the future and stay away from that playboy."
"You are so bold to make up stories about the royal family." Before Concubine Hua could say anything, Concubine Li responded, "Even if you are pregnant, you should be careful with your words and actions. Otherwise, you will commit many bad deeds with your words. Be careful of the consequences in this life."
Seeing that Shen Meizhuang was also being mocked, Zhen Huan also protected her. It seemed that they were really like sisters helping each other.
"Sister Lipin seems to be very respectful of ghosts and gods. Even a casual instruction like that can be associated with verbal karma."
Zhen Huan deliberately tested Concubine Li, but she was unaware and fell into the trap immediately.
"Of course I believe in the existence of gods. When Zhen Chang was confined in Yongshou Palace, wasn't he also avenged by the infant spirit and lived in guilt every day?"
But as soon as the matter of the infant spirit's revenge was spoken, Lipin immediately thought of what she had done and her face turned pale.
This little Yinzi framed Zhen Huan at his own instigation.
Now he couldn't bear the torture and died. If he became a wronged ghost and lingered in the palace, looking for me, the mastermind behind the incident, wouldn't I be killed?
Zhen Huan was a perceptive person. When she heard Concubine Li mention the god of speech, she knew that this person really believed in ghosts and gods.
Now that Xiao Yinzi is dead, all the blame has been placed on him, while the real mastermind behind the scenes remains at large.
Lipin, who had always suspected Hua Fei's party and believed in ghosts and gods, was the best breakthrough point.
"Okay, you're getting more and more ridiculous." The Queen finally jumped out to smooth things over. Seeing that Zhen Huan and Hua Fei's party were at loggerheads, she was naturally very happy. "Zhen Chang Zai is not without fault either, so she will be fined three months' salary and have to recite the palace rules ten times."
"I will follow the Majesty's instructions." This punishment had no effect on Zhen Huan. She had once been a concubine and had not lacked the allowance for these few months.
Concubine Hua was very angry. Zhen Huan had been entangled with Prince Guo time and time again, but it was all just revealed so lightly.
The emperor loves her so much that he can accept such an embarrassing thing.
The old woman, the Queen, went even further. She actually protected Zhen Huan and misled the Emperor, simply not taking him seriously.
No matter what, I have to tell the emperor about the obscene things Zhen Huan has done, so that the emperor can see the true nature of this vixen.
Ling Rong yawned slightly. This scene lasted too long and she was a little tired of watching it.
She didn't know what the emperor was thinking. Maybe he truly loved Zhen Huan, so he would accept anything that Zhen Huan did that crossed the line.
It’s a pity that Concubine Hua couldn’t see clearly and had to be scolded again.
After the greetings were finally over, Lingrong avoided the concubines and walked slowly back to Shuimu Mingse in order to protect the baby in her belly.
The same was true for Shen Meizhuang, but she did inform the emperor, so every time she went out, she was followed by a large group of people who checked her eating utensils, for fear that something might have gone wrong with the fetus in her belly.
Even the favored Zhen Huan had never received such an honor. No wonder Shen Meizhuang thought that her love for the emperor was as deep as the sea and no one could compare to her.
"Sister An, why are you walking so slowly?" Chun Changzai's voice suddenly sounded from behind. Ling Rong turned around to look at her smiling face, and all that came to her mind were some unpleasant images.
She was very close to Zhen Huan, and she smiled and said that the emperor wanted to twist his embroidered pajamas for her to play with.
She and Zhen Huan were better sisters, but she was the daughter of the shabby county magistrate, cursing her darkly in the corner.
"Sister An?"
"It's Concubine Chun," Ling Rong put on a proper smile, carefully hiding the jealousy on her face, "You've been in the Old Summer Palace for a long time, are you having fun?"
Chun Changzai pouted, her cheeks puffed up like a harmless little white rabbit, "I didn't even go to the garden properly. I had to accompany the emperor all day and couldn't even go fly a kite."
Because her relationship with Chun Changzai in her previous life was not very good, Lingrong always thought that she was a scheming person. Now, when she heard her say that she accompanied the emperor all day, she just thought it was a show-off.
"The Emperor likes you, so naturally he wants his sister to accompany him more." Ling Rong pointed in the direction of the Back Lake, "It's open over there and close to the water source. When Concubine Chun has time, she can go over there to fly a kite."
Chun Changzai nodded and agreed. She looked eagerly in the direction of Ling Rong's finger, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, "Sister An, can you accompany Chun Er to fly a kite? Sister Shen is pregnant, and Sister Zhen is busy all day, so no one is willing to fly a kite with Chun Er."
Lingrong is pregnant now, so how can I dare to run around with her and fly the kite?
“I’m not that fond of flying kites, but I do have some experience in making kites.
If Concubine Chun doesn't mind, you can come to Shuimu Mingse to find me in the future and make a kite together and have some fun with it."
When Chun'er heard that they were making a kite, her eyes lit up, but no one knew what she was thinking about, and the light soon disappeared.
"Mammy said that the emperor likes talented women like Sister Zhen, and he won't let me fly a kite."
Lingrong was just asking out of politeness; she didn't care whether Chun Changzai agreed or not.
But seeing Chun Chang's lost mood, she had no choice but to stay a little longer, intending to comfort her.
However, she never expected that Zhen Huan would suddenly come over, take Chun Changzai's hand, and ask her in detail why she was so depressed.
When Ling Rong saw Zhen Huan, she immediately pulled away and tried to leave, but Zhen Huan bowed and asked her to stay.
"Mrs. An usually stays at home and rarely goes out. It has been a long time since we have sat down and chatted."
"I'm afraid Concubine Zhen doesn't want to talk to me more." Lingrong and Zhen Huan now dislike each other, which is completely different from the situation in the previous life.
"How could it be possible?" Several people sat down together under the shade of the tree. Ling Rong sat alone on one side, looking at Zhen Huan and Chun Changzai holding hands tightly. "I and the noble lady entered the palace together, so there is no end to the things we can talk about.
If it weren't for some misunderstandings, you and I would be very close sisters now."
Lingrong was a little surprised. She didn't know what medicine Zhen Huan had taken today that she actually tried to get close to her.
Zhen Huan harmed her and she harmed Zhen Huan. The two of them should have stopped talking to each other long ago. How could they become close sisters?
Could it be that Zhen Huan wants to do something and includes me in her plan?
Lingrong was thinking secretly in her heart. She subconsciously turned her body to the side, leaving only one side of her face to Zhen Huan and Chun Chang.
Zhaoshui was equally worried. She was afraid that Zhen Changzai would find out that the young lady was pregnant, and then she would find some excuse to pray for blessings to kill the heir.
"My lady, you just had a heat stroke a few days ago. If you sit for a long time, you will have to drink those bitter medicines again."
Zhaoshui made up an excuse and whispered to Lingrong to go back to Shuimu Mingse.
Lingrong didn't want to stay here any longer. Just as she stood up and was about to leave, she heard Chun'er picking up the emperor's pajamas.
“The nightgown with two dragons playing with a pearl on the emperor is really beautiful. I want to touch it, but the emperor is reluctant to let me.
I'm just curious, who embroidered it? The emperor was so reluctant to part with it."
Chun Changzai laughed as she spoke. She imitated the emperor and gestured with her handkerchief, "The emperor said, go ask your sister Zhen, she knows best."
Ling Rong was listening to these words which were similar to those in her previous life, and she suddenly became suspicious. She wondered if the emperor would twist her nightgown again.
"I knew it. It was Sister Zhen who embroidered it. I even praised her to the Emperor, saying that Sister Zhen's embroidery skills were among the best in the palace. However, the Emperor said that Sister An was the best embroiderer."
Chun Chang came over with a curious look on her face, "Why didn't Sister An embroider a nightgown for the emperor?"
Lingrong didn't care at this moment whether the emperor had twisted the pajamas or not.
But since Chun Changzai asked, she couldn't help but respond, otherwise their play would not go on.
"I did embroider one, but I guess the emperor didn't like it, so he never wore it."
Zhen Huan smiled lightly, covering her nose with a handkerchief, and pulled Chun Changzai to sit down, "I can testify that your sister An did embroider one, and the embroidery was so exquisite that I have been studying for a long time but still cannot learn it."
After hearing this, Lingrong guessed that the emperor must have really cut the pajamas again, but this time he gave it to Zhen Huan.
It's true. People like the emperor just don't know how to cherish good things. He spent a lot of effort to embroider the golden dragon.
If it was embroidered with other patterns, it could earn a lot of money by selling it.
I have wasted my skills in this way and I will never be able to embroider anything for him again.
"Sister Zhen, have you seen it? What kind of embroidery is this that the Emperor and sister both praised it so highly?"
Zhen Huan's smile froze for a moment, but she soon leaned close to Chun Changzai's ear and whispered something that Ling Rong couldn't hear.
"It's been strangled? I want to see it too, Sister Zhen. Let me go to your place and take a look." Chun Changzai was lively in nature. When she heard Zhen Huan say that the emperor had strangled the golden dragon, she immediately said it in surprise.
Zhen Huan looked a little embarrassed. She coughed intentionally, pulled Chun Changzai's arm, and signaled to her with her eyes that Ling Rong was still sitting here.
Chun Changzai stopped talking immediately. She blinked her eyes, afraid that Lingrong would get angry and show them a cold face.
Being stared at like this by two people, Ling Rong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This happened in her previous life, so there was no need for her to feel ashamed and angry about it or to be jealous of Zhen Huan's favor.
"It's not difficult to embroider the golden dragon. With Chunchang's cleverness, she should be able to do it in three to five days."
Ling Rong praised Chun Changzai with an indifferent look on her face, which made Zhen Huan look surprised.
But she just thought Lingrong was pretending to be calm, and hurriedly pulled Chun Changzai to tell her to stop talking.
"Chun'er, don't ask anymore. Just come with me to Yuedi Yunju today, okay?"
Ling Rong looked at the interaction between the two of them and for some reason still felt a little uncomfortable, so she didn't want to stay any longer and just got up and left.
In the eyes of Zhen Huan and Chun Changzai, this seemed like she was angry and annoyed because the nightgown she embroidered was scratched.
"My lady... don't be sad," Zhaoshui carefully looked at Lingrong's face. She always thought that her lady's heart was tied to the emperor. "Zhen Changzai was just talking nonsense. The emperor would not do that."
Lingrong nodded. She did not explain too much to Zhaoshui. It was just a piece of clothing and it was not worth getting angry about.
The most important thing for her now is to protect the baby in her belly. No matter the emperor or Zhen Huan, no matter how passionate their love is, she just hopes they don't drag her into it to witness it.
"What did Fu Chang say over there? Does she know what the Queen and Zhen Chang talked about last night?"
Zhaoshui sighed. She had been squatting in Wuling Spring Scenery for a long time last night, but didn't get any useful information.
After paying her respects, Fu Changzai stayed in Wuling Spring Scenery for only a while.
She once secretly asked Fu Changzai, but she knew nothing and looked worried.
"Fu Changzai said that since Zhen Huan came to Yuanmingyuan, the Empress has rarely seen her.
Even the emperor rarely goes to the skylight anymore, Fu Chang wants to ask the young lady..."
Lingrong was very helpless. In fact, Fu Changzai was already very favored by the emperor.
But she was never satisfied and hoped that the emperor would come to her place all day long. Therefore, whenever the emperor came, she would cling to him all day long, and the emperor felt bored and didn't like to go there much.
"With her personality, no matter how many ways she tries, it will always be insufficient."
"But Fu Changzai is very anxious. I always feel that it is because the Queen does not trust her."
Lingrong thought about it for a while, and always felt that the Queen valued Zhen Huan instead of Fuzi at this time, and wanted to use her to do something.
Now in the palace, only Shen Meizhuang was openly pregnant. According to the Queen's temperament, she would not be able to bear to see Shen Meizhuang stay pregnant for so long.
But the emperor kept a close eye on them, so all the imperial physicians and midwives were sent to Bitong Academy.
Even if the queen wants to harm someone, she has to be careful. If the emperor catches her, then her position as queen will be lost.
"Could it be... that he wants to ask Zhen Changzai to harm Hui Guiren?" Ling Rong murmured to herself, but she quickly denied her thoughts.
Ling Rong didn't find it strange that Zhen Huan attacked other concubines.
But taking action against Shen Meizhuang... is impossible no matter what.
Even though Shen Meizhuang is pregnant with a child, even though Shen Meizhuang's position is higher than Zhen Huan's. Even though the two of them have been defeated in palace fights time and time again, and a rift has gradually developed between them.
They are the people who know each other best in the palace. If they can't even trust each other, who should they trust?
Ling Rong had seen the deep friendship between Zhen and Shen in her previous life. She was very envious and longed to have such a friendship that was worthy of trust.
But she hasn't met him yet, and I'm afraid she will never have him in this life.
