An Lingrong after rebirth

Tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday, and the entire palace is immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. The palace servants are busy decorating the palace in advance and preparing various delicacies and gifts.

The next morning, An Lingrong was also called into the palace early.

When An Lingrong stepped into the palace, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous and expectant.

An Lingrong knew that this might be an opportunity to change her destiny, so she secretly made up her mind to hold on to the Queen Mother's strong thigh. In this way, she would surely live a very comfortable life in the future.

After all, with the Queen Mother as her strong backer, who would dare to offend her easily? Therefore, she must seize this opportunity and make her future full of light and hope.

As long as she could get the Queen Mother's favor, everything would be fine. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, as if she had seen her bright future. But at the same time, she also understood that it contained countless unknowns and challenges.

Along the way, she carefully observed everything around her, trying to adapt to this strange environment full of power struggles.

The grandeur of the palace was amazing, and the elegance of the maids and the tediousness of the palace etiquette made her feel a little overwhelmed. But fortunately, An Lingrong had learned these knowledge in advance, so now she can deal with these problems with ease.

Finally arriving at the destination, An Lingrong took a deep breath and stepped into the mysterious and majestic room.

Although she was filled with anxiety, An Lingrong still moved forward firmly. She believed that she would be able to cope with the difficulties before her and show her talent and charm.

On her birthday, An Lingrong got up early with the palace maids, put on a light pink palace dress, and then went to the Queen Mother's bedroom with other palace maids. Along the way, they laughed and exchanged blessings to the Queen Mother.

After arriving at the bedroom, the maids and eunuchs began to get busy. Some maids were responsible for cleaning the room, while others were responsible for placing flowers and fruits.

Some were assigned to help sort out the Queen Mother's clothes, and they all felt very honored to sort out the clothes. After all, being able to get close to the Queen Mother's belongings was a rare opportunity for a palace maid.

The Empress Dowager's clothes were all very exquisite and gorgeous, and each piece exuded a faint fragrance.

These clothes not only reflect the Queen Mother's noble status, but also show her pursuit of quality of life.

Looking at these clothes, I couldn't help but think of my dream - to become an excellent tailor and create beautiful clothes with my own hands.

Just as An Lingrong was lost in thought, she suddenly heard footsteps.

It turned out that it was the Queen Mother who walked in. She was wearing a gorgeous red dress and a golden phoenix crown on her head, looking particularly majestic and solemn.

Seeing the palace maids arranging clothes, the Queen Mother smiled and nodded to show her satisfaction.

Then, the Queen Mother walked to the bedside, sat down, and began to accept congratulations from the female relatives.

As night fell and the lights came on, the palace banquet was about to begin. At this moment, many female relatives were accompanying the Queen Mother, chatting and laughing in the bedroom.

They are dressed in gorgeous clothes, have beautiful faces and elegant manners, like a group of blooming flowers, exuding charming fragrance.

Time passed by, and the long-awaited palace banquet was finally about to begin. At this time, a group of palace maids and eunuchs hurried over and conveyed the news to everyone. Their voices were clear and pleasant, like the sound of nature, making people happy.

Upon hearing the news, the women stood up, put on their clothes, and prepared to go to the banquet hall. Their faces were filled with excitement and joy, as if they could not wait to attend the feast.

Led by the palace maids and eunuchs, the female relatives slowly walked out of the bedroom and followed the Queen Mother to the banquet hall. Along the way, they laughed and talked continuously, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful.

An Lingrong stood aside, quietly observing the Queen Mother's every move. Although the Queen Mother was over 60 years old, she still maintained her elegant demeanor and kind face.

Her eyes reveal a wisdom and tenacity that makes people fall in love with her.

On the way to the banquet hall, An Lingrong was called to the side by the Empress Dowager. She walked over carefully, then gently held one of the Empress Dowager's hands, showing a very respectful and cautious attitude, and skillfully chatted with the Empress Dowager.

"Your Highness, today's banquet is truly grand. I have never seen such a grand occasion before."

The Empress Dowager had a kind smile on her face. She turned her head slightly to look at An Lingrong beside her, her eyes revealing a hint of gentleness and kindness.

The Queen Mother said softly, "Yes, today is my birthday. The Emperor is so filial, I certainly can't let him down!"

After saying this, the Queen Mother glanced at everyone present, her eyes flickering with relief and satisfaction.

The Queen Mother continued, "In that case, let's all enjoy this joyous atmosphere, have fun together, and celebrate this special day together."

After saying this, the Empress Dowager smiled and nodded, expressing her approval and satisfaction with the Emperor's arrangement.

"May the Empress Dowager be blessed with great fortune and longevity." An Lingrong said hurriedly.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, "Your little mouth is quite sweet."

An Lingrong was secretly delighted, for she knew that she had successfully attracted the attention of the Empress Dowager.

In the banquet hall, there was singing and dancing, and a wide variety of delicious food and wine. An Lingrong found an opportunity and stepped forward to perform a dance for the Empress Dowager.

Her graceful dancing and moving singing won the admiration of everyone present, and a hint of surprise also flashed in the eyes of the Queen Mother.

After the performance, An Lingrong came to the Queen Mother and said, "I dare to offer another toast to the Queen Mother. I wish you a thousand years of longevity."

The Queen Mother smiled and raised her glass, "Well, not bad. Come here, give me a reward."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." An Lingrong kowtowed to express her gratitude.

In the magnificent and brightly lit banquet hall, the music played melodiously, and people in the dance floor danced gracefully with happy and joyful smiles on their faces.

Ladies in gorgeous gowns danced gracefully, while gentlemen accompanied them elegantly. The clinking of wine glasses made a crisp and pleasant sound, and the aroma of delicious food filled the air, making people salivate.

Laughter and joy filled the entire space as people talked to each other and shared their joy and stories.

At this time, the emperor arrived and said, "Your son congratulates the queen mother on her birthday. I wish the queen mother good health and a long life."

"Your Majesty has arrived at the perfect time. Come and take a seat," the Queen Mother greeted.

After the emperor took his seat, his eyes inadvertently swept over An Lingrong, "This must be the daughter of County Magistrate An, she is so pretty?" The words "Miss An, who is famous in Laiyang County" aroused the interest of the people around, and everyone began to talk about it.

"Who is she? Why is she so famous in Laiyang County?" someone asked curiously.

"I've heard of her. She seems to be a very powerful person." another person replied.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the woman known as "Miss An", waiting for her response.

At this time, the woman smiled and nodded, indicating her agreement. Her smile revealed a kind of confidence and calmness, as if she didn't care about her reputation, but there was a charm that people couldn't ignore.

People began to speculate what was so special about this "Miss An" that she earned such a reputation.

Some say she might be a female knight with great martial arts skills, others think she might have extraordinary wisdom or talent.

In any case, this "Miss An" has become the focus of everyone's attention. At this time, the ministers who knew An Lingrong's reputation began to describe her vividly! Everyone listened with gusto!

"Your Majesty, it is this girl, her name is An Lingrong." The queen answered the emperor's question respectfully.

The emperor looked at the woman in front of him, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Oh? She is quite a smart girl." He nodded slightly to show his approval of An Lingrong.

When the Queen Mother saw that the Emperor was interested in An Lingrong, she said, "Since the Emperor likes her, why not just accept her!

Her voice was gentle but firm, with an irresistible majesty. Then, the Queen Mother added: "Confer An Lingrong the title of noble lady."

The Queen smiled and said softly, "Since the Emperor likes this woman so much, that is naturally very good. However, if you want to appoint her as a concubine, I am afraid you still need to consider it carefully.

After all, the selection will be held in a few months, and Miss An is among them. If we hastily confer the title at this time, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble and controversy."

She paused and continued, "Besides, the selection of concubines is an important ceremony in the palace, and many concubines are looking forward to winning the emperor's favor and becoming a member of the harem.

If we canonize Miss An as a concubine too early, the other concubines may feel disappointed and dissatisfied, and it may even have a negative impact on the order of the palace.

I suggest that Your Majesty wait a little longer and make a decision after the selection is over. This will not only ensure the stability of the palace, but also give Your Majesty more time to understand the situation of each of the selected ladies and make a more wise choice. "

The Queen's words were sincere, expressing her respect for the Emperor's preferences while also offering reasonable suggestions.

She was well aware of the importance of court etiquette and hoped that the emperor could weigh the pros and cons and make the most appropriate decision.

The Queen also hinted that the Emperor should give all the concubines a fair chance to compete and not favor any one side.

After hearing this, the emperor smiled and nodded, seeming to be very satisfied with this arrangement. So, Huangdi said: "Then follow what Huanghou said."

Everyone present congratulated An Lingrong, who thanked them with tears of gratitude and promised to serve the Emperor and the Empress Dowager with all her heart.

"That's great." The emperor agreed happily.

When An Lingrong heard this, she knelt down in haste to express her gratitude, secretly delighted. She knew that her fate would change from now on.

The emperor gave a look, and the eunuch chief shouted loudly, "Continue the singing and dancing!"

After a while, it was time to present gifts, and the female members of the family presented their own gifts!

Finally, he fell to An Lingrong, who presented her own embroidered picture of a hundred years of longevity, winning endless praise!

The Queen Mother asked the nanny beside her to take the Hundred Longevity Picture and carefully examined the exquisite embroidery on it. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "This Hundred Longevity Picture is finely embroidered and the needlework is unique. It is very good."

An Lingrong replied modestly: "Thank you for your compliment, Queen Mother. This is a small token of my appreciation. I wish you a long life."

At this time, the emperor said: "I also have a reward to give to Miss An." As he spoke, he signaled the eunuch beside him to hand over an exquisite box.

An Lingrong took the box with great joy and opened it. Inside was a pair of precious jade bracelets. She knelt down again to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

The emperor smiled and said, "This is the beautiful Hetian jade, warm and delicate, most suitable for a beauty to wear."

Seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "Lingrong, don't let the Yellow Emperor down in the future!

An Lingrong shyly replied, "I obey your command."

The Queen Mother said with a beaming smile, "Come here! Everyone will receive a reward!" Her voice was full of joy and generosity, as if she wanted to share her happiness with everyone.

As soon as these words came out, the whole scene suddenly became lively. People thanked the Queen Mother one after another, with happy smiles on their faces. They knew that today's reward was not only a material reward, but also a recognition and reward for their hard work.

The banquet continued, everyone was laughing and having fun. An Lingrong's heart was full of longing for the future, she knew that her life would change dramatically from now on.

At the end of the banquet, An Lingrong left the banquet hall on the pretext of being too drunk. She strolled in the garden of the palace, feeling the tranquility of the night.

Under the moonlight, she held the jade bracelet given by the emperor in her hand, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She knew that this was her stepping stone to wealth and glory, but it also meant that she would face more struggles and calculations.

An Lingrong was not afraid. She was convinced that she could gain a foothold in the palace with her intelligence and wit. She decided to make good use of this opportunity to get close to the emperor and win more favor.

After returning to the palace, An Lingrong carefully put on her makeup, ready to face the challenges ahead. She knew that the road ahead was long, but she was fully prepared.
