An Lingrong after rebirth

An Lingrong calculated the time and thought to herself, "Maybe the famous General Nian is about to return to the capital!"

Several people fell silent, stopped talking, and walked towards the sky. When they reached the door, they asked the eunuch and learned that the queen's headache had returned to normal and they could pay their respects.

The two of them walked into the palace one after the other. As soon as they entered, they saw Concubine Jing and Concubine Qi had also arrived. After greeting them, they sat down, and the palace returned to silence.

Not long after, many people came into the palace one after another. With outsiders present, An Lingrong couldn't chat with Shen Meizhuang, after all, it was almost time to pay respects to the Queen.

Concubine Hua was late again. The Queen had already arrived, but she hadn't. The concubines knelt down to pay their respects. When they stood up, An Lingrong quietly looked up at the Queen's face. Seeing the tired look on her face that couldn't be concealed, she guessed something in her heart.

The Queen was too tired to speak. Concubine Qi, on the other hand, kept talking about how the Third Prince had grown taller and how the Emperor praised him again.

Everyone smiled reluctantly in response.

Fortunately, Concubine Hua came not long after. Concubine Qi stopped talking.

Hua Fei only bent her knees and said lazily, "I pay my respects to the Queen."

Before the Queen could speak, she stood up.

Seeing the smug smile on Concubine Hua's face, Yixiu remained calm and asked, "I heard that General Nian will be returning to the capital soon. My sister is so favored by the emperor. The emperor will definitely let my sister and General Nian reunite, which is also a good thing."

Hua Fei raised her hand to adjust the banner on her head, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly: "I would like to borrow the Queen's good words. Yesterday was the half-year festival, and the sisters came back late. I must be tired. Today, I am not feeling well, so I will not keep the sisters here. Go back!"

As soon as the Queen finished speaking, Concubine Hua immediately stood up, bent her knees, turned around and left, completely ignoring the Queen who was still sitting.

An Lingrong sat in the back and waited until all the high-ranking concubines in front had left before she walked out into the sky with Shen Meizhuang. Zhen Huan wanted to follow them, but was stopped by An Lingrong's eyes.

Concubine Hua is powerful, and the Queen has no choice but to use Zhen Huan as a pawn, but she will not watch the other party rise to power. Otherwise, she would not have dealt with Zhen Huan just after Concubine Hua fell.

Even if he agreed to help her, he couldn't let the Queen know that he was in cahoots with her. The three of them were too favored in the harem, and if they did, they would attract the Queen's attention.

There will be countless calculations in the future! It is better to be cautious. It is better for Zhen Huan to stand out alone, so that she can have less pressure.

After it was daylight, An Lingrong asked Qiufang to invite Zhen Huan. Although she kept talking to Shen Meiyu, she kept thinking about what the Queen said in her heart.

When Nian Gengyao returns to Beijing this time, the incident of An Bihuai losing his military mother will happen. I have to find a way to sever ties with him and not let this incident affect me.

Zhen Huan arrived not long after, and An Lingrong had already asked someone to invite Luo Rui. Not long after they sat down, Luo Rui followed Lian'er in.

After paying respects to several people, Luo Rui stepped forward and took Zhen's pulse. It took him a cup of tea. Seeing the serious look on Luo Rui's face, Zhen Huan also became very nervous.

After Luo Rui withdrew his hand, he did not dare to ask, for fear of hearing something he did not want to hear.

Perhaps Shen Meizhuang noticed Zhen Huan's nervousness, so she asked, "Doctor Luo, how is Concubine Wan's health? Is there anything wrong?"

Luo Rui bowed and said, "In reply to your question, my lady, Jin Xi who was by the side of Concubine Wan once showed me a box of incense that had been mixed with a large amount of musk. Concubine Wan might have used that box of incense."

There will be traces of musk in the body. In my opinion, my lady's body is a little weak. If you use musk, you may not have children for more than half a year.

Having said that, Luo Rui paused, which added a bit of sadness to Zhen Huan's face. My lady, don't worry. If you take good care of yourself in the future, your body will recover in half a year, and you will be pregnant!

After hearing what Luo Rui said, Zhen Huan nodded and hope ignited in her heart. She thanked Doctor Luo. Although she sounded relieved, her facial expression was still sad.

"Half a year" or maybe "a year" is nothing for ordinary people! But as concubines, there are countless women waiting for the emperor's favor.

If she didn't get pregnant for a long time, she would give up her chance to be favored by others. Even though Zhen Huan didn't want to compete for favor, she still hoped to have a child.

This was naturally a little unacceptable. Seeing this, An Lingrong waved her hand and asked Luo Rui to leave. Cui Jinxi bent her knees and followed him out.

Such things made An Lingrong look at Cui Jinxi. Zhen Huan, the main character, was immersed in her own betrayal and ignored Doctor Luo, but Cui Jinxi was able to react in time.

It was really thoughtful. An Lingrong retracted her gaze and comforted Shen Meizhuang, who was also full of sadness. "Sister Mei, the imperial physician has said that as long as Concubine Wan takes good care of herself, she will be attacked in the future. The most important thing now is how to catch the mastermind behind this."

Shen Meizhuang agreed with An Lingrong's words. What Rong'er said was right. This person's mind was too vicious and he must not be let off easily. Huan'er, do you have any ideas?

Zhen Huan shook her head. Sister Mei, Su Hexiang was given by the Emperor. I have no idea who is behind this. I have no idea what to do.

In any case, this matter must be reported to the Emperor. Otherwise, we have only just entered the palace for a short time and haven’t even established ourselves yet, so how can we find out?

Shen Meizhuang nodded and responded. Zhen Huan frowned and thought for a moment. Don't worry, sister. I will think about how to report to the emperor when I get back.

An Lingrong said: "What Concubine Wan said is right. It's still early today and I'm a little hungry. I guess Concubine Wan hasn't had breakfast yet. Why don't we have it together?"

Zhen Huan subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she didn't know what she thought of. After a moment of silence, she nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Concubine Shu."

An Lingrong waved her hand and called Lian'er to have breakfast served. For a while, no one spoke and the hall fell silent.

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

Zhen Huan left after breakfast. An Lingrong and Shen Meiyu took out the embroidery frame and prepared to embroider something for the unborn baby. An Lingrong was an excellent embroidery expert.

It was far better than the concubines in the harem, which made Shen Meizhuang's eyes full of surprise. She praised An Lingrong's embroidery skills and threw down the embroidery frame in her hand.

Oh my! Rong'er's embroidered tiger head is so lifelike. I'd better not embroider mine. I really can't stand it. From now on, my sister will embroider the children's things!

An Lingrong laughed out loud. Her sister was always being lazy. Well, let her younger sister do all the tiring work. Shen Meizhuang leaned against the small table between them.

Looking at An Lingrong's hands flying up and down, he said with a smile: My sister's craftsmanship is so exquisite, it is the best I have ever seen. As the saying goes, "the more capable you are, the more work you should do." Those who are clumsy should not make a fool of themselves, because they can only be hands-off bosses!

An Lingrong did not refute after hearing this, and agreed with a smile. She turned around and wanted to ask Lian'er to bring in a cup of hot milk, but she saw Qiufang hurried in.

My dear, the emperor has sent word that Empress Shun has had another headache, and Concubine Qi has gone to take care of her. The emperor has sent word that you don't have to go because you are pregnant, and Concubine Shen has to take care of you, so she doesn't have to go either.

An Lingrong nodded. The Queen's temper was a "stubborn illness" that would come and go as she pleased. Every time it flared up, she would have other plans in mind.

Since she didn't need to take care of the sick, An Lingrong naturally didn't bother to pay attention. She told Qiufang to bring milk tea, then lowered her head and continued to embroider her flowers.

The greetings were waived for five days in a row, and the two of them slept until noon every day, finally enjoying a few days of leisure. This morning, before An Lingrong even got up, Lian'er's voice rang in her ears.

An Lingrong opened her eyes drowsily and turned to look at Shen Meizhuang who was sleeping behind her. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, she frowned slightly. "What's wrong, Lian'er?"

My lady, I just went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get a list and heard something. What is it? An Lingrong got off the bed with the help of Lian'er and asked in a low voice!

My lady, I don't know whether this is true or not, but I heard from a few unfamiliar eunuchs that old man An lost Junniang and was sent to the labor prison.

An Lingrong's expression remained unchanged. She supported Lian'er and walked a few steps. "You shouldn't have spread this matter to the harem. Just pretend you didn't say anything and I didn't know anything either. Don't take it to heart."

An Bihuai lost Junniang, he was asking for death, how to deal with him is not something I, a concubine in the harem, can decide. Lian'er knew the relationship between the young lady and An Bihuai, and nodded, "I understand."

It's still early, young master, don't you want to sleep a little longer?

An Lingrong yawned and stood up, no longer wanting to sleep. "Please help me wash up. Even if I don't want to take care of this matter today, there are people who don't want me to ignore it."

There are still many things to deal with today. As soon as she finished speaking, An Lingrong helped Xiang Lian'er out of the bedroom, leaving Shen Meizhuang who was still sleeping soundly.

After washing up, An Lingrong quietly instructed Qiufang. After Qiufang left, An Lingrong picked up the porridge on the table and was drinking a few mouthfuls when Shen Meizhuang hurried over, supporting Caiyue.

An looked up at Shen Meizhuang's anxious look and knew that he knew about An Bihuai's affairs. She was not surprised, because the person who revealed this matter behind the scenes would not let Ru Guhanjin be so quiet.

After revealing the secret to Lian'er for such a long time and seeing no reaction from An Lingrong, she naturally had to think of other ways. Sure enough, Shen Meizhuang spoke anxiously as soon as she sat down.

Rong'er, I heard something. Let me tell you slowly. Don't be anxious. Sister, are you talking about the incident where my father escorted Junniang and something went wrong?

Rong'er, do you know? Then why... Seeing that An Lingrong didn't react at all, Shen Meizhuang asked in surprise.

Sister, you want to ask me why I had breakfast quietly instead of going to the emperor to ask for mercy, right? Shen Meizhuang nodded after hearing this.

An Lingrong filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to Shen Meizhuang, saying, "Sister, you can't be hungry while you are pregnant. Let's eat while we talk." When Shen Meizhuang took the bowl and started eating, An Lingrong said, "Sister, we entered the palace to become concubines."

You are not allowed to contact your family privately. The most important thing is not to listen to what you shouldn't listen to, and not to say what you shouldn't say. Sister, you might as well think about it, how could this matter reach your ears so quickly?

After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang frowned and thought, someone did it on purpose, yes, they deliberately let me know. I will lose my mind and beg the emperor for mercy.

The emperor is annoyed that the harem is interfering in the affairs of the previous dynasty. What I am doing will leave a bad impression on the emperor. Besides, crying will hurt my body and may even damage the fetus.

The person behind the scenes planned to gain two points of profit, but I was decadent because of this. This idea is really too vicious. An Lingrong's voice was faint, and Shen Meizhuang trembled slightly when she heard it.

A trace of worry appeared on his face. Rong'er, I originally thought that my uncle was in Mirror, Jeju. I wrote a letter home and sent it to him, which should make him feel better in prison.

If this is the case, what should I do? An Lingrong's eyes were filled with excitement after hearing this.

In her previous life, she cried and begged for a long time, but Shen Meizhuang didn't dare to send a message back due to her family situation. Now she actually took the initiative to come up with such an idea.

An Lingrong glanced outside imperceptibly and shook her head gently. "Sister, I deliberately let this matter come to you and me. I think you and I don't have to do anything."

The innocent are innocent. The emperor is a wise ruler throughout history. The issue of military rations is a serious matter. If it is my father's fault, I will not hesitate even if he is beheaded in public. I will also praise him for doing a good job. If my father is wronged, I believe the emperor will clear his name.

As for the little suffering in prison, I am not as hard-hearted as you. As a subject, what does it matter if I suffer a little injustice for the monarch?

As concubines, we should think about how to share the worries of the emperor, instead of begging him without knowing the reason and making him embarrassed.

An Lingrong lowered her head and said these words, which gradually made Shen Meizhuang's anxiety fade away. Rong'er, you see it more clearly than me, I...
