An Lingrong after rebirth

Early in the morning, Jiang Defu knocked on the door gently and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's time to get up."

The emperor slowly opened his eyes and turned his head to see An Lingrong lying quietly beside him, with a smile on her lips, as if she was immersed in a sweet dream. The emperor smiled slightly and gently stroked An Lingrong's face.

An Lingrong felt someone was looking at her. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the emperor looking at her tenderly.

Her cheeks blushed slightly, and she said softly, "Your Majesty, are you going to get up? An Lingrong tried to hold back her discomfort, her whole body aching. I will change your clothes for you."

The emperor nodded gently, and An Lingrong stood up and changed the emperor's clothes. Her movements were gentle, as if she was protecting a precious treasure. The emperor looked at An Lingrong, who had treated him the same way before.

The emperor said, "Lingrong's embroidery skills are great. The dragon and tiger look alive. Although this is not the first time I have seen (the Hundred Longevity Painting), I am still shocked!"

The emperor said again that there was no need to go back to the Yanx Palace this morning, but to stay in the Yangxin Palace for breakfast. Lingrong thanked the emperor for his grace, and An Lingrong called Qiufang to help her wash up.

After the emperor finished washing up, he had breakfast with An Lingrong.

After breakfast, the emperor dealt with government affairs, while An Lingrong accompanied him, offering him tea or snacks from time to time. Until lunch time came, the emperor was going to Jingren Palace to have lunch with the queen.

Only then did the emperor call Jiang Defu and arrange for a sedan chair to take An Lingrong back to the west hall of the Yanx Palace.

After returning to the Yanx Palace, An Lingrong saw a figure standing in front of the main hall door. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Noble Lady Fucha (Murong Xue).

An Lingrong bent her knees lightly and nodded slightly, thus paying her respects to Noble Lady Fucha.

The corners of Noble Lady Fucha's mouth slightly raised, revealing a half-smile, and said, "Oh, you are finally back. I thought you were going to stay in the Yangxin Palace overnight."

An Lingrong lowered her head and replied softly, "In reply to your words, the Emperor asked me to return first."

Noble Lady Fucha chuckled, with a hint of sourness in her tone: "Oh? Really? It seems that you are really favored, but..." She deliberately dragged out her voice, "Weren't you sent back in the end?"

An Lingrong raised her head, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she soon regained her composure. She smiled and said, "Your Excellency is joking. It is Lingrong's blessing to receive the emperor's favor."

Noble Lady Fucha curled her lips and said disapprovingly: "Humph, don't be so proud, this is only temporary. The emperor won't always favor you. There are so many beauties in the harem. Who knows when he will get tired of you."

An Lingrong smiled slightly and responded calmly: "Then don't worry about it, Your Excellency." After that, she turned and walked towards her own bedroom, leaving Noble Fucha standing there with an unhappy look on her face.

An Lingrong nodded again and said, "Your Excellency is right. Lingrong dare not feel proud at all."

A trace of jealousy and resentment flashed in Noble Lady Fucha's eyes, and she snorted coldly, "You'd better do this, otherwise you will regret it."

An Lingrong quickly responded, "Yes, Lingrong knows."

Noble Lady Fucha waved her hand impatiently and said, "Okay, go away. I don't want to see you again."

An Lingrong bowed respectfully and said softly, "Yes, Lingrong will take her leave." Then she turned and left. Her steps were light and quick, as if she was afraid that staying any longer would cause more trouble.

When she walked out of the door, An Lingrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves finally relaxed.

She knew very well that Noble Lady Fucha was very jealous and difficult to get along with, so she had to be careful in the future to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Back in the west hall, An Lingrong sat in front of the mirror, looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, and couldn't help but sigh at the fickleness of fate.

She used to be the daughter of a small county magistrate, living at the bottom of society, and never thought that one day she would be able to enter the palace and become the emperor's concubine. But now An Lingrong can be favored by the emperor.

But she also understood that in this harem, favor was as unpredictable as flowing water and fleeting. Only by giving birth to a prince and becoming a mother with a son could she secure her position.

She must work hard to win the emperor's favor and get pregnant as soon as possible. Thinking of this, An Lingrong couldn't help but frown, her heart filled with worry.

Qiu Fang said with concern: "My lady, you must be exhausted. Would you like to order lunch?"

An Lingrong nodded gently, seeming a little exhausted.

Qiufang came back with lunch in a cup of tea. However, An Lingrong only ate a few bites reluctantly and had no appetite to continue eating, so she put down her chopsticks silently.

Seeing this, Qiu Fang couldn't help but ask worriedly, "My dear, why don't you eat anymore? Is it because it doesn't suit your taste?"

An Lingrong smiled slightly and replied softly, "No, I had dinner with the Emperor this morning and I'm not hungry now. I really can't eat."

Qiu Fang suddenly realized and said quickly, "So that's the case. Then you should take care of your health and don't starve yourself."

Qiufang said: My lady, you will have some aftereffects from having just slept with the emperor. You just need to rest for a while!

An Lingrong nodded slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Qiu Fang then asked, "My lady, are you still feeling unwell? Should we ask the imperial physician to come and see you?"

An Lingrong shook her head and replied with a smile: "No, I'm just a little tired."

Qiu Fang immediately suggested: "Then let me massage your shoulders and legs. This will make you feel more comfortable."

An Lingrong looked at Qiufang gratefully, then nodded in agreement.

At this time, Baojuan rushed in and said in a panic, "My lady, it's bad. The Queen Mother sent a message asking you to go to Jingren Palace."

An Lingrong's heart tightened, knowing that this trip to Jingren Palace would not be an easy one. She tidied up her appearance and followed Baojuan to Jingren Palace.

Meanwhile, Noble Lady Fucha told the Queen that An Lingrong had breakfast with the Emperor. The Queen's face darkened slightly after hearing this.

"This An Lingrong is really extraordinary... She can have breakfast with the Emperor on her first night with him. No other concubine in the harem has this treatment," said the Queen, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

When they arrived at Jingren Palace, An Lingrong saw Noble Lady Fucha in the Queen's Palace. The two were talking when they stopped when they saw An Lingrong coming.

Her Majesty, Hello! Greetings, my dear lady. An Lingrong bowed and the Queen raised her hand, ignoring the formality.

"Lingrong, do you know why I asked you to come here?" the queen asked kindly.

An Lingrong's heart tightened, and she quickly replied, "I don't know, I hope the Queen will clarify."

"I heard that the emperor asked you to have breakfast in the Yangxin Palace today. Is this true?" the queen asked casually.

"Your Majesty, it is true. However, this is all the grace of the Emperor, and I dare not ask for too much." An Lingrong lowered her head and answered carefully.

The queen smiled and said, "Well, you are blessed that the emperor favors you. However, in this harem, it is easy to gain favor, but it is not easy to keep it. You must cherish it and don't let the emperor down."

"I will keep the Queen's teachings in mind." An Lingrong replied quickly.

"Okay, you can go back." The queen waved her hand.

An Lingrong felt relieved and stood up to leave. When she left Jingren Palace, she realized that her back was soaked.

In her previous life, An Lingrong knew the Queen very well, and was well aware that she was a person who spoke sweet words but had a sharp tongue and hid a knife behind her smile.

In the future, you must be more careful when eating to prevent being plotted against. Although the queen spoke in a high-sounding manner on the surface, who knows how many sinister and cunning thoughts she had hidden in her heart.

An Lingrong secretly reminded herself to stay vigilant so as not to repeat the same mistake.

After An Lingrong returned to the Yanxi Palace, she felt even more depressed. She knew that there were dangers everywhere in the harem and she had to be careful at all times.

"My lady, what happened to you?" Baojuan saw An Lingrong coming back with a strange look on her face, so she hurried forward to ask.

An Lingrong knew that Baojuan was the Queen's person and Baoque was Concubine Hua's person, but she did not have the ability to replace them!

"Baojuan, I'm fine, but life in the harem is getting harder and harder." An Lingrong sighed softly.

"My lady, don't worry too much. As long as you can get the emperor's favor, everything else will be easy." Baojuan comforted.

"Yes, I must serve the emperor well and win his long-term favor." An Lingrong said firmly.

An Lingrong saw Baojuan's disdainful look from the corner of her eyes, and sneered in her heart. You are eating the food that comes from outside, and you think that the master you serve is in trouble.

It would be better for you, a little palace maid. Only a fool would have such thoughts.

In the following days, An Lingrong served the emperor more attentively, trying to win his long-term favor. An Lingrong also tried to avoid conflicts with other concubines to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Control your own behavior and keep a low profile in everything!

The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Although An Lingrong was careful in every way, she was still plotted against by others.

One day, after taking the medicine brought by the palace maid, she suddenly felt unwell, vomited continuously, and had diarrhea. After the imperial physician examined her, it was discovered that the medicine had been mixed with poisonous substances.

"Baojuan, what's going on? How could my medicine be poisonous?" Although An Lingrong was really uncomfortable, she could still endure it and asked in pretended horror.

"My lady, don't worry, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter." Baojuan comforted her.

"No need, I know who did it." An Lingrong's eyes were filled with hatred.

"My lady, do you know who it is?" Baoque asked in surprise.

"It must be Concubine Hua. She has always disliked me and wanted to harm me." An Lingrong said gritting her teeth.

At this time, Bao Que said, Concubine Hua is beautiful and kind, she will not harm the young master. Besides, Concubine Hua is the most favored, is there any need to harm a concubine who has only been favored for a few days?

An Lingrong thought to herself, you are helping outsiders in my palace, just wait and see how I will deal with you.

"My lady, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must find a way to fight back," Baojuan said.

"You are right, we can't let Concubine Hua succeed." An Lingrong said.

Qiufang and Lian'er are both very worried about An Lingrong.
