An Lingrong is reborn, the reorganized team is killing like crazy

After this day, the emperor's favor for An Lingrong was unprecedented. As soon as the emperor entered the harem, he stayed in Chengqian Palace most of the time, and An Lingrong seemed to be the emperor's exclusive favorite.

Regarding the incident of drugging Concubine Jing, the midwife was tortured many times in the Ministry of Punishment. She said she didn't know who ordered her to do so and died in the Ministry of Punishment.

Maybe she really didn't know who it was, or maybe she really didn't have the courage to say...

The Lantern Festival passed in a blink of an eye. On the 18th day of the first lunar month, An Lingrong's mother entered the palace. This time, she was wearing the third-rank imperial robe. She still brought Aunt Xiao with her, but Aunt Xiao did not enter the palace as a nanny.

"Good luck to the madam." Juqing and Baoque, who were waiting at the door, bowed to Mother An.

"Hello, ladies." Mother An said with a smile, and she looked a lot more cheerful.

"Madam, please come in. The Queen has been waiting anxiously..." As they spoke, several people entered the palace.

"Mother." An Lingrong heard the noise and stood up and walked to the outer hall, just in time to see An's mother come in.

"Long live the Queen Mother." When An's mother saw An Lingrong, she knelt down and bowed to An Lingrong together with Aunt Xiao and the maids.

"Mother, please get up quickly. It is my unfilial daughter..." An Lingrong hurried forward to help her mother up, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Etiquette must not be abandoned, Your Majesty, please don't cry." The two of them walked into the inner hall hand in hand, and An Lingrong helped her mother sit on the Arhat bed.

"How are you these days, mother?" An Lingrong looked at her mother, still holding her hand.

"Of course I'm good in every way, but why do I think you've lost some weight?" Mother An looked at An Lingrong with a distressed look on her face.

"The Empress has not recovered her health since she gave birth to the princess. She has been working day and night to prepare the Emperor's birthday gift recently, so she has lost some weight. Now that Madam is here, please persuade the Empress and let her have a good rest." Ju Qing lowered her head, not daring to look at An Lingrong, and said as she knelt down.

"Juqing, stop talking too much." An Lingrong scolded, and Juqing just lowered his head.

"Miss Juqing is right. Your most important thing now is your own health. Mother doesn't ask for anything else from you, but only hopes that you can be safe and healthy. And that the Fifth Prince and the Princess can grow up well..."

Mother An held An Lingrong's hand and tears of heartache flowed down her face as she spoke.

"I know that I am unfilial and have made my mother sad." An Lingrong said as she picked up a silk handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her mother's eyes.

"It's such a nice day, Empress Chen and Madam, please don't be sad..." Aunt Xiao, who was sitting on the soft stool, smiled and comforted them, and the mother and daughter stopped crying.

"How is Brother Fuwen now? I have received the letter you sent me. Is her journey to Shudi smooth?"

An Lingrong knew that the opportunity for her family to enter the palace was rare, and she couldn't waste time crying and complaining, so she wiped away her tears and put on a smile.

When she saw Aunt Xiao, she remembered that after An Fuwen's palace examination, although he was only in the second class, his ranking was still good, and he was sent to Shu to serve as the prefect of Zhili Prefecture, a fifth-rank official, so she asked.

"To reply to Her Majesty, everything is going well. Young Master Fu Wen wrote saying that he happened to be on his way to take up his post with General Feng in the court. He took good care of him along the way and everything went very smoothly." Aunt Xiao said with a smile.

"Which General Feng? Is it General Feng Chi Feng?" An Lingrong asked as soon as she heard it.

"I think so. I have brought the young master's letter with me. Would you like to see it, Madam?"

Aunt Xiao was very happy. She felt that An Lingrong's action showed her concern for An Fuwen. Even though An Fuwen had been adopted by Madam An, he was still her own child.

"Let me see it." An Lingrong asked, and Juqing took the letter and handed it to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong took a quick look and saw only a few words of reassurance, and the General Feng who had been traveling with him was indeed Feng Chi.

It also wrote that Shu is mountainous and there are more bandits than elsewhere. Fortunately, with the protection of General Feng along the way, he was able to arrive safely at his new post.

"Fuwen is good. I think my father should have told you and Aunt Xiao that if Fuwen does well in the past three years, he should be able to stay in Beijing when he comes back, unless something unexpected happens."

An Lingrong handed the letter back to Juqing, who took it, sorted it out, and returned it to Aunt Xiao.

"Your father once said that if Fuwen could come back, my aunt and I would feel more at ease." Mother An patted An Lingrong's hand, and An Lingrong nodded.

"Juqing, go and see if Sheng'er and Qianyue are ready. Ask the nanny to bring them here." An Lingrong ordered, and Juqing responded and walked out.

"How are the Fifth Prince and Princess Jingxu?" Mother An looked at An Lingrong with a smile on her face and loving eyes.

"They are all fine. Mother will know when she sees them soon. They are eating and sleeping well. They couldn't be better..." An Lingrong replied with a smile. The nanny over there came in holding the two little ones.

"May Her Majesty the Concubine live long and healthy, and may Madam have good luck." The two maids bowed to An Lingrong and An's mother, then looked at Aunt Xiao, but didn't know what to say.

"This is Aunt Xiao." Ju Qing spoke up, and the two of them said, "Good luck to Aunt Xiao."

"Get up and bring Qian Yue to your mother." An Lingrong spoke, and a nanny carried Qian Yue to An's mother.

"Mother, hug me!" Hong Sheng stretched out his arms towards An Lingrong, and An Lingrong took it.

"Fifth Prince's words are so clear." An's mother praised. Hong Sheng seemed to understand half of it and looked at An's mother with a smile.

"Sheng'er, call grandma." An Lingrong said to Hong Sheng and asked him to stand on the Arhat bed.

"Hello, Grandmother!" Hong Sheng said with a sweet smile. Mother An said, "Hello, Fifth Prince."

Hong Sheng became even happier after hearing this.

"Princess Jingxu looks like you. I think she looks exactly like you when you were a child..." Mother An looked at Qian Yue in her arms. Although she had a smile on her face, there were tears in her eyes.

"You were this young back then, and now, you're already the mother of two children..." Mother An looked up at An Lingrong, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Mother." An Lingrong called softly, and the mother and daughter burst into tears again...

"Madam, the gift you prepared before coming..." Aunt Xiao saw that the two were sad again and hurriedly reminded them. After hearing this, Mother An suddenly remembered that she came here today to give Qian Yue a gift.

"I got a piece of fine jade some time ago, and asked a famous craftsman in Beijing to carve two jade pendants for them. One for each of them, brother and sister. It's a token of my appreciation for them." Mother An wiped away her tears and smiled.

"Thank you, mother." An Lingrong took the brocade box and opened it. She saw two jade pendants made of fine jade placed side by side inside, and the carvings were also very exquisite.

"Thank you, grandma." An Lingrong pulled Hong Sheng who was standing beside her, and Hong Sheng bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, grandma."

His serious look made everyone laugh.
