An Lingrong after rebirth

"An Lingrong held Shen Meizhuang's arm, smiling with her eyebrows curved. You still have not had enough time to look after your children. I wish you could just put the children in Yonghe Palace every day!"

"I know, I know, my sister is the best." The two chatted and laughed as they walked towards the Yanxi Palace, but a voice suddenly came to their ears from behind.

"Sister Mei! Shen Meizhuang paused, but An Lingrong turned around and looked at the person who came. Is there something wrong with Wanpin?"

Zhen Huan knelt down and bowed, paying her respects to the Empress Shufei.

"Zhen Huan's action actually made An Lingrong stunned. After a moment, she reacted and raised her hand. Wanpin is too polite. Please don't be polite!"

Thank you, Madam Concubine Shu!

"Zhen Huan thanked him, stood up and continued, "Just now I heard Sister Mei talking to the queen about the child, which made me envious."

"Sister Mei knows that I only have Longyue as my child, and she doesn't have a playmate. Can I let you take the child to Yonghe Palace?"

"After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang's face showed a trace of embarrassment. If it was only Hongjun, she would not refuse."

"But she also knows that An Lingrong doesn't like Zhen Huan. Now the five children are in Yonghe Palace almost every day. If Longyue goes there and something happens, it will be hard to say what she said."

"They froze in place for a moment, not knowing how to respond. Seeing this, An Lingrong chuckled and said, "I remember that Longyue is less than half a year younger than Wenlin, right?"

Zhen Huan nodded after hearing this. The Concubine Shu still remembered. That's right! A child this old is now at the age of playing. If Wanpin doesn't mind, she can bring her to the Yanxi Palace.

"Zhen Huan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then she showed a hint of joy. If this is true, then I would like to thank the Concubine Shu."

"It's okay. We are all sisters in the palace. It's just a small matter. There's no need to say thank you or not. I'm going to take you back and pack up. I won't keep Wanpin to talk."

Well, I, your concubine, will respectfully send Her Majesty Shufei off!

"After saying that, An Lingrong took Shen Meizhuang's arm and turned to leave. Zhen Huan, who was standing there, breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of relief appeared on her face."

Jinxi, let’s go back too!

...............

"An Lingrong supported Shen Meizhuang and remained silent for a long time until the two of them entered the Yanxi Palace. Then she spoke: Rong'er, did I make things difficult for you today?"

An Lingrong held Shen Meizhuang's hand and asked in confusion: "Sister, why did you suddenly say that? I know you don't like Wanpin, so I should have rejected her directly today..."

"An Lingrong smiled. Sister and Wanpin still have some friendship from childhood through correspondence. If I don't agree today, wouldn't it make things even more difficult for Sister?"

"My sister and I have known each other for many years. How could I bear to embarrass you? Besides, it's just a matter of children, and they are all innocent. Come on, I'm sure nothing will go wrong."

Shen Meizhuang's face was full of gratitude, Rong'er...

"An Lingrong pulled Shen Meizhuang all the way into the main hall of Yanxi Palace and sat down. Sister, don't think too much about it. This is a small matter. It's nothing. It's not worth your worry."

Don't worry, Rong'er, I will never make things difficult for you again. An Lingrong asked Lian'er to serve breakfast and didn't say much about this matter.

"She is natural and doesn't want to have anything to do with Zhen Huan, but she has her reasons for doing so."

"Now the children often go to Yonghe Palace. Instead of letting Zhen Huan go to Yonghe Palace and not be under my nose, making me worry, it is better to let her come to Yanxi Palace."

"It's impossible for the other party to do anything in the Yanxi Palace. The older children have already had breakfast and are playing loudly, while the younger ones are still asleep. So only An Lingrong and I are eating together."

"After finishing breakfast, Qiufang and the others started to pack up and organize their things. That's when the two children hurried in."

"Both of them were sweating, obviously they had come back in a hurry! An Lingrong is usually very serious in front of the children, and the two children didn't dare to act coquettishly with her."

The two of them rushed to Shen Meizhuang and said, "Mother/good mother, I want some water!"

"Shen Meizhuang pulled off her handkerchief and wiped the sweat off the two men while instructing Caiyue. Caiyue quickly poured warm water for the two princes. An Lingrong watched from the side and felt her eyebrows twitching."

"Sister, look at them, who knows what's wrong with them again." Shen Meizhuang's hands were constantly moving, wiping the sweat off the two children's heads and watching them drink water.

Only then did he let his wet nurse take the child downstairs to change clothes, and then he said, "Why is Rong'er becoming more and more impatient with the child now?"

"An Lingrong sighed. Sister, it's not that I don't have patience with them, but look at how crazy he is now. How can he be like a royal prince?"

"The two children are only three years old now. In a blink of an eye, they will be old enough to go to the Shangshufang. If they continue like this, how can they concentrate on studying in the future?"

"My brothers only go to the Shangshufang when they are six years old. It's still too early now. Don't worry. Although I can't enlighten them, I can still teach them some simple things."

I will start teaching them after some time. I naturally understand what my sister means. An Lingrong shook her head and sighed.

"I'm afraid they'll get too wild and won't be able to stop them in the future. Don't worry, Zhao'er is smart and has made the Emperor and the Empress Dowager so happy at such a young age. He won't fall behind in his studies in the future."

"My sister is still talking about this. I think Jun'er is the smart one. There's no need for us to be so polite to each other. Don't worry. The children will definitely not be what you think."

"While we were talking, the two children had already changed their clothes and walked in. Now they dared to get close to An Lingrong. Mother/Shu Mother, our son is hungry."

"An Lingrong was helpless. She turned around and motioned Lian'er to go down and prepare some snacks. She lowered her head and asked, looking at Hong Zhao in front of her, where did Zhao'er go so crazy so early in the morning? Why did he make his forehead sweat with his brother?"

"Hong Zhao rolled his eyes and chuckled a few times, but he didn't say anything. Seeing his expression, An Lingrong ignored him and stretched out her hand to Hong Jun, pulling him to her side."

Jun'er, tell me where you went today and what you did?

"Hongjun tilted his head to glance at Hongzhao. An Lingrong followed his gaze and saw Hongzhao's expression, which seemed to indicate that he was not allowed to say anything. She immediately became angry."

Stand still!

"After scolding Hong Zhao, An Lingrong turned to look at Hong Jun again, and her tone immediately softened. "Don't be afraid, Jun'er. Tell Shu's mother where your brother took you."

"Hongjun is younger than me, so he didn't hide anything. He clasped his hands in front of him, but he couldn't resist An Lingrong's gaze and lowered his head and said, 'Mother Shu, my brother is taking me to find Father Huang...'"

"Brother! Hongjun was interrupted by Hongzhao's anxious voice before he could finish his words. An Lingrong turned around and glared at him, and he finally stopped talking."

"But An Lingrong didn't know how to respond to Hongjun's words. She was afraid that asking the children not to go to the emperor would not work."

"But if I indulge myself in this, and go there too often, I'm afraid that rumors will spread in the imperial court and the harem, saying that I instigated the child and deliberately wooed the emperor's favor!"

"After a while, An Lingrong reached out and touched Hongjun's head. Go, be more careful with your brother. Seeing that An Lingrong was not angry, the two children breathed a sigh of relief."

"She turned around and glanced at Shen Meizhuang. Seeing that she nodded, they walked down hand in hand. Shen Meizhuang seemed to see An Lingrong's worry."

"Stand up and sit next to the other person. Rong'er, I roughly understand what you mean, but the emperor likes them. Even if there are too many rumors, it can't hurt you and me. Rong'er, don't worry."

"An Lingrong's frown didn't relax at all, because she knew the emperor too well. When he was in favor, everything he did was right. When he was not in favor, he could find faults in everything he did."

"Hey! Sister, I only hope it can be like this, but you still have to keep a closer eye on the children in the future and can't let them go like this any longer."

I understand, don't worry!

"An Lingrong's worries did not come true in a short time. A few days later, because of the palace relocation, An Lingrong had just finished breakfast with the children when someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came."

"Huang Guiquan followed Lian'er into the room, smiled flatteringly, and knelt down. "I pay my respects to the Empress Shufei, and wish the Empress good health and happiness."

"An Lingrong raised her hand and said, 'Eunuch Huang, please don't be polite! What is the matter with you coming here now, Eunuch?"

In reply to Your Majesty, the Emperor has issued an edict, asking the Ministry of Internal Affairs to reorganize Chengqian Palace. Your servants have worked hard to get it done, and have come here today to report to Your Majesty.

"If your majesty is free, you can go to Chengqian Palace first to see if there is anything that needs to be changed, so that you can inform the servants in time."

"An Lingrong's eyes lit up slightly after hearing this. She had never been interested in Chengqian Palace in her past life or this life."

"I see. Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Huang. This is fine. Eunuch Huang goes first. I will go to Chengqian Palace to take a look in a while."

Yes, then I will not waste your time any more. I will take my leave!

"Lian'er, please see Eunuch Huang off for me!" Lian'er knelt down and accepted the offer, leading Huang Guiquan away. Hong Zhao, who was standing beside An Lingrong, raised his head.

Mother, are we really going to move to Chengqian Palace?

An Lingrong lowered her head after hearing this and pinched Hong Zhao's chubby face. "Yes, Zhao'er, can you accompany mother to Chengqian Palace later?"

it is good!

………………

The name "Chengqian" means to follow the will of heaven. From the day it was renamed Chengqian Palace, it has been the bedroom for the emperor's most beloved concubine.

"An Lingrong knew that this palace was once the residence of the late emperor's empress, Xiaoyi Ren. She never thought that she would have the honor to live here now."

"An Lingrong led Hong Zhao into this palace that had been sealed for several years. Chengqian Palace is a two-courtyard palace with a main gate facing south, named Chengqian Gate."

"An Lingrong is now a concubine, so naturally she has to live in the main hall in the front yard of Chengqian Palace. In addition to the main hall, there are three side courtyards in the east and west."

"Looking at the emperor's intention, he will not allow others to live with him for the time being, so now the children will each have a room and won't be crowded."

"When the children turn six, they can move to South 3 or North 5, but by then the space will be empty."

"An Lingrong led Hongzhao and the mother and son entered the main hall of Chengqian Palace. Hongzhao raised his little head, looked around a few times, and opened his little mouth: Wow..."

"An Lingrong was attracted by her son's voice. She looked down and saw Hong Zhao with his mouth open, looking surprised. She couldn't help but laugh."

"Bend down and hold Hongzhao in your arms. Zhaoer, take a look. Do you like it here? Hongzhao nodded like a chick pecking at rice. Mother, this place is beautiful. Zhaoer likes it."

Huang Guiquan followed behind, and after hearing this, his smile deepened, "If the Sixth Prince likes it, we are relieved. An Lingrong did not look back, and smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Eunuch Huang."

"I don't deserve it. Madam Shufei, please look," Huang Guiquan said. He walked two steps forward to An Lingrong and pointed to a table beside him.

"An Lingrong followed the lead, and when she saw the four treasures of the study on the table, her heart was slightly moved. Eunuch Huang, what is this?"

"Your Highness, the Emperor said that you like to practice calligraphy, so he asked Eunuch Su to send some Hubei brushes from Zhejiang as tribute, and asked the servants to prepare this desk for you."

"An Lingrong's eyes lit up slightly. She didn't have any other hobbies now, so practicing calligraphy was a way to pass the time. But she didn't expect that she only mentioned it once in front of the emperor, and the other party took it to heart."

"Please ask the eunuch to do it for me. Thank you, Your Majesty. Don't worry, your Majesty, I will definitely do it for you. Huang Guiquan responded and continued, "Please take a look, your Majesty, is there anything else that needs to be changed?"
