An Lingrong after rebirth

"Since the emperor is coming, Shen Meizhuang will naturally not stay. She will leave Hongjun in Yanxi Palace and return to Yonghe Palace alone."

"It's not lunch time yet, and Su Peisheng's voice can be heard outside. An Lingrong didn't go out to greet him despite her big belly. She just helped Lian'er stand up. The two children, Hongzhao and Hongjun, also stood straight on the couch."

"As soon as the emperor entered the room, the two children shouted in unison: "Father Emperor, Father Emperor!" An Lingrong held her belly, turned her head and glared at Hongzhao, "Stop shouting..."

"But relying on someone's support, Hong Zhao would never listen to An Lingrong. He led Hong Jun to shout one after another. Both of them completely ignored An Lingrong and kept shouting."

"The emperor looked at An Lingrong's expression, laughed loudly, walked forward, held the two children in each hand and sat down, and said, 'Okay, okay, if you two don't stop, mother will be really angry.'"

After hearing this, Hong Zhao leaned close to the emperor's ear and whispered, "Father, my mother scolded me at breakfast today."

You little rascal, you must have made your mother unhappy!

Your Majesty has misunderstood me. I haven’t done that. If you don’t believe me, ask your brother!

Hongjun stared with wide eyes. When Hongzhao and the emperor saw that they were both looking at them, they said: Father Your Majesty, I am hungry.

"The emperor reached out and touched Hongjun's little face. You two are both very naughty. Okay! Rong is hungry too, right? It's time to eat."

"Yes, lunch is ready. I will have it served right away. But just as I sat down, the emperor looked around and asked in confusion: Why is Mei'er not here?"

An Lingrong reached out and took the chopsticks that Lian'er handed over, "Your Majesty, Sister Mei is busy with palace affairs. It's just after the New Year, so she is too busy to spare time."

"The emperor nodded. I will go to Yonghe Palace to see her another day. Yes!"

"With the Emperor around, An Lingrong was too lazy to take care of the two children. The Third Princess could now eat some soft food like porridge, so An Lingrong had a small table placed next to her and a wet nurse fed her."

"Princess Ding's appearance is not outstanding in the harem, but the third princess is very cute. The emperor looked at the third princess who was eating seriously. This child is very well behaved when eating."

"An Lingrong squinted her eyes and glanced at the bowl in front of Hong Zhao. The emperor was still saying, 'Look at the bowl in front of Zhao'er. It's a good meal, but why are you eating it?'"

"After hearing this, the emperor glanced at Hong Zhao and said with a smile: You are talking about your son again. In my opinion, Zhao'er also eats well and will definitely be tall in the future."

"When Hong Zhao heard this, he was extremely happy. He ate the rice even faster, stuffing his lips with rice until they were full, and at the same time he called out to his brother Hong Jun to eat quickly!"

"An Lingrong couldn't bear to look at that look. An Lingrong turned to look at the emperor. Your Majesty, the Princess Longyue who was seen by Wanpin in the Imperial Garden a few days ago was also very cute."

I remember that Princess Longyue was half a year younger than the third princess!

"The emperor was stunned after hearing this. There are many children in the palace. If Rong'er hadn't said it, I wouldn't have thought of it. An Lingrong doesn't care if the emperor has forgotten something? After hearing this, he lowered his head and smiled, picked up a piece of Babao duck and put it in his mouth without saying anything."

"Her meaning is very clear. Princess Long Yue, who is only half a year old, has a name, but the third princess who is raised by her knees has no name yet."

"The emperor understood An Lingrong's words, and thought about it for a while. After a while, he said: Dingpin passed away early, leaving only the third princess. Let's name the child Wenlin!"

"An Lingrong also read a lot of poetry in her free time, so she has some understanding of it. Although she feels that the meaning of this name is not what she wants, she did not refute it."

"She smiled and nodded. On behalf of Princess Wenlin, I thank the emperor for the name. Then she turned around and touched Wenlin's little face. Lin'er, our Lin'er will have a name from now on."

"The emperor's eyes flashed with a trace of guilt, and he said in a flash: "Well, let's eat. The weather is still cold and it will be cold soon."

Yes!

"Maybe it was because of the children being here, or maybe it was because the third princess had a name, so the lunch was quite enjoyable."

After dinner, the two children took Wen Lin to Yonghe Palace. The emperor sat opposite An Lingrong, looking at each other's bulging belly, and said, "Rong'er is pregnant this time. It looks like your belly is very big. Rong'er, you have worked hard."

Your Majesty, I am delighted to accept this!

"The Emperor reached out and held An Lingrong's hand, which meant it was February. Did the imperial physician say when she would give birth?"

Your Majesty! Doctor Luo said, "It will be around the beginning of February. We don't know the exact time yet."

"I thought that February 9th is your birthday. I didn't celebrate it properly when I was pregnant with Hong Zhao. Now that I see that you are in good condition, I should definitely celebrate it properly for you."

An Lingrong was stunned after hearing this. She didn't expect the emperor to be so concerned. She said, "Your Majesty, it's just a birthday. How can it be worth your concern?"

"You are pregnant now, so you can only use the two words ''!'' The emperor stretched out his hand and squeezed An Lingrong's hand. Besides, Rong'er has been a concubine for quite some time."

"You should have been rewarded for being pregnant this time, but the Queen was cautious and only allowed you to enjoy the status of a concubine. After you give birth safely this time, I will definitely not let you suffer any injustice again!"

Tears welled up in An Lingrong's eyes. "Your Majesty... I was born in a humble family. It is Your Majesty's grace that I can be a concubine. I don't care about my position. As long as the children are safe and I can stay by Your Majesty's side, I will be satisfied."

I know Rong'er is sensible. Even if you don't want it, I have to give it to you. This is what you deserve.

"The Emperor patted An Lingrong soothingly and continued, "But no matter how urgent your delivery is this time, if it is a grand ceremony, it would be embarrassing if you are not around."

"An Lingrong smiled and held the emperor's hand. So the emperor doesn't need to worry about me. Now I just hope that the baby in my belly can be born safely. This is the best."

"As for birthdays, they come every year. I only hope that Your Majesty can come and have a meal with me and the children. I have no other requests."

"The emperor sighed and said, "You! I will have someone prepare something to celebrate for you."

"Then I would like to thank the emperor! The emperor still looked smiling, and he leaned over slightly to touch An Lingrong's belly. I don't know if it's a prince or a princess?"

"Your Majesty, do you want a princess or a prince? We already have Hongzhao, so everything is fine. I just hope Ronger and the children are safe!"

The emperor's wish will surely come true! After saying this, the two smiled at each other and said no more.

………………～

"Ever since the emperor spoke that day, the Imperial Household Department has also begun preparing for An Lingrong's birthday banquet. But even though the emperor spoke, the banquet is not as good as the lotus pond that Zhen Huan once had."

"It's already February in a blink of an eye! Just as the birthday party was approaching, An Lingrong's stomach started to growl."

"On the eighth day of the second lunar month, An Lingrong had just finished her dinner. Shen Meizhuang was by her side, and the two were chatting casually. An Lingrong was holding an embroidery basket in her hands, preparing to embroider a bellyband for Wen Lin."

"Just after the needle was inserted, I felt something wrong in my stomach, and waves of pain came. Because the pain was too severe, An Lingrong's hand holding the needle suddenly froze, and the embroidery frame was not held firmly, and it fell to the ground with a clang."

"Before she could even cry out in pain, Shen Meizhuang ordered: Lian'er, go get Doctor Luo. Qiufang watched the midwife pack up and took them to the delivery room to wait."

"Rong Pei, come with me and help Rong Er to the delivery room. Yan Gui, go to the Yang Xin Palace to report to the emperor. Shen Meizhuang has arranged everything in an orderly manner, so although everyone is nervous, they are all in an orderly manner without any panic."

"A moment later, An Lingrong had already entered the delivery room. The pain she was feeling was not a sign of giving birth, so she could only sit on the bed in the delivery room for a while, then stood up and walked slowly around the hall."

"Although this is not her first childbirth, the pain is extremely uncomfortable for An Lingrong. But she has to go through it this time and endure it no matter how uncomfortable it is."

“It only took a few minutes for the pain to make my forehead sweat.

It was not the time for court affairs, nor was it the time for the official card to be issued. Yan Gui ran to the Yangxin Palace, only to find out that the emperor had gone to Zhen Huan's Suiyuxuan. "

"After bidding farewell to the eunuch at the door, Yan Gui hurried to Suiyuxuan. It was dinner time at this moment, and Suiyuxuan was brightly lit. When Yan Gui said goodbye, the door of Suiyuxuan was not closed, and there was only a eunuch guarding the door."

Yan Gui steadied his somewhat rapid breathing, then stepped forward and saluted, "Sir, I am Yan Gui, who works for Concubine Shu of the Yanxi Palace. My concubine has had a miscarriage, so please help pass the message to the emperor, asking him to go to the Yanxi Palace."

"Yan Gui's words were polite, and he thought the other party would not embarrass him, but after a long time, the other party did not say a word! Yan Gui looked up and saw that the other party looked like he had not heard anything. He looked up at the sky and ignored him."

"Yan Gui didn't expect to be treated like this in Sui Yu Xuan, but since An Lingrong was about to give birth, he was naturally anxious."

"He spoke with a gloomy face, and his tone became unpleasant. My mother's childbirth is a big deal. If you deliberately ignore it and delay the time, you may be held responsible?"

Somehow these words touched the eunuch's sore spot. He sneered as soon as he heard them: "The emperor is dining with Concubine Wan in there. No matter how precious Concubine Shu is, she cannot compare to the health of the emperor."

you…………

"The young eunuch leaned against the door, a hint of sarcasm flashed across his lips. What? If you have any dissatisfaction, you can make a scene. If you alarm the emperor, you will lose your life."

"Yan Gui naturally wouldn't worry about his own safety just because of a few words from the other party, but he suddenly thought that if he really disturbed the emperor, what would he do if the emperor took his anger out on his own queen?"

Thinking of this, Yan Gui suppressed his anger and handed over a purse, "Eunuch, my queen is giving birth, and the emperor has to be present. Please help pass the message."

After saying this, he bowed again. The eunuch took the purse, tossed it up and down, and smiled coldly again, "I said, the emperor's meal is important. No matter who comes today, they have to wait until the emperor finishes his meal before talking about other things."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch loosened his grip and threw the purse in front of Yan Gui. "As for this thing, you should keep it for yourself."

"Yan Gui was so angry that his face turned red, but he had to consider his own queen and did not dare to turn hostile! Just when he was in a dilemma, a figure rushed forward from behind, and Yang Shou slapped the eunuch so hard that he was crooked."

"You insolent bastard, you dare to stop my queen from giving birth? Yan Gui was stunned for a moment when he saw Rong Pei suddenly appearing in front of him."

But Rong Pei seemed to be furious, and kicked the eunuch fiercely, then pulled Yan Gui, "Eunuch Yan, we are the queen's people. If we act cautiously outside, outsiders will think that our queen is not favored."

"Don't worry about anything else, let's go in directly. I want to see who dares to stop us?" Yan Gui stared blankly, then nodded quickly. The two of them walked past the eunuch lying on the ground and hurried into Sui Yu Xuan."

"The young eunuch's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness, but he didn't even stop for a second before he got up and ran away. I don't know where he went."

"Rong Pei and Yan Gui Er went in a hurry and saw Su Peisheng leaning against a bush and taking a nap. Rong Pei took two steps forward and said, "Eunuch Su!"

"Su Peisheng woke up with a start, saw the two of them, and stood up quickly. Why are you here? Does Concubine Shu have any instructions?"

"Eunuch, my queen is in labor and is about to give birth. Please help pass on the message to the emperor to go to the Yanxi Palace as soon as possible."

"Su Peisheng reached out and adjusted his hat. Oh, this is a big deal. Wait, I will report it to the emperor immediately today."

"Without waiting for the two to speak, he hurried into the inner hall. A moment later, footsteps were heard. The emperor hurried out and when he saw Yan Gui and the other man, he asked anxiously, "How is Concubine Shu?"

"Rong Pei, kneel down. Your Majesty, the queen is in labor. I'm afraid she's about to give birth. Hurry, go to the Yanxi Palace immediately."

As the emperor finished speaking, Zhen Huan hurried out from behind him and said, "Your Majesty!"

"The emperor turned around after hearing this, and said, "Shupin will give birth later, I will go to see her. Zhen Huan moved her lips and then nodded. Your Majesty, why don't you wait for a moment, I will accompany you to see Shupin."

"Yan Gui didn't say anything after hearing this, but Rong Pei immediately stepped forward and said: Your Majesty, the eunuch guarding the door of Sui Yu Xuan just now deliberately stopped me and Yan Gui, not letting me inform Your Majesty about the birth."

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask Your Majesty to go to the Yanx Palace immediately and no one else needs to follow you." Rong Pei's words stunned Zhen Huan, and she subconsciously asked: What did you say?

"How could the people from Suiyuxuan stop you? This is impossible. Rong Pei didn't even look at her. Your Majesty, this is not the time to worry about these things. Please leave immediately."

"Rong Pei's expression was very determined. The emperor turned his head and looked deeply at Zhen Huan. Without waiting any longer, he hurriedly walked down the stairs and walked out of Sui Yu Xuan."

Rong Pei and Yan Gui followed immediately. Outside the main hall, Zhen Huan held Cui Jinxi's hand and said, "Jinxi, what's going on? Who is guarding the gate? Why are they stopping Shupin's people from entering? Why are they doing this?

"Jinxi looked puzzled for a moment. Your Majesty, we have no grudges against Shupin! Giving birth is a big deal, you shouldn't stop her!"

"Don't let me report it. I will go check it out immediately. It's cold outside. Your Majesty, please go to the palace first!" Zhen Huan said gloomily. "No need. Let Little Li guard the gate today. Go and call him over immediately!"

"Cui Jinxi had no choice but to bend her knees and hurried out of the palace gate! But when she got to the palace gate, she found that there was no one outside."

"Confusion flashed across Cui Jinxi's brows, and she looked around, with a trace of worry on her face."
