[The Legend of Zhen Huan] Rebirth of An Lingrong

The eunuch's unique communication voice came out: "The emperor is here!"

"See the emperor!" Everyone quickly stood up and greeted the emperor.The emperor walked to the main seat and took his seat before letting everyone get up and sit down.

"When I came in, I saw that it was very lively, but what good thing did I miss?" the emperor asked.

"It's Princess Hejing who is catching Zhou. The emperor didn't see it. Princess Hejing is so smart and cute. She doesn't admit her birth at all. The concubine likes it very much." The queen said to the emperor with a smile.

"The empress is too proud of the prize. The princess is young and doesn't know anything. Naturally, she is curious about everything. The empress laughed." Mei Zhuang stood up and said gently.

"He Jing is really cute and clever, and Concubine Hui teaches well." The emperor praised.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall had different expressions, Ling Rong looked calm, and glanced at everyone around him calmly.

"Teaching the princess is the duty of the concubine, and the concubine dare not take the credit." Mei Zhuang thanked him peacefully.

"For the princess's first birthday, the sisters have all prepared gifts. I wonder what gift the emperor has prepared for the princess? Can you open the eyes of the sisters?" Concubine Qi asked jokingly.

"Concubine Hui is not in a hurry, Concubine Qi, why are you so anxious? Could it be that you envy Princess Hejing's cleverness and want to ask Concubine Hui for advice?" Concubine Hua sneered.

"You..." Concubine Qi was annoyed.

"Concubine Hua's words are serious, and my concubines are ashamed to be ashamed; Concubine Qi's heart is boundless, and Concubine Qi is doing her best for the third elder brother, so that the third elder brother can grow up healthy and happy, she is the best mother-in-law, minister The concubine sighs, it is the concubine who should learn from the concubine Qi." Mei Zhuang said softly.

"Sister Concubine Hui is smart and courteous. After all, only a mother can understand the hard work of being a mother." Concubine Qi glanced at Concubine Hua and said with a smile. Concubine Hua's face became very ugly.

Seeing this, Li Pin on the side smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, everyone is still waiting for your gift to open your eyes!"

"Yes, yes, just open our eyes!" Several other concubines echoed.

"Your Majesty, since the sisters are all looking forward to it, why not bring the gift to everyone to see." The Queen suggested.

"Su Peisheng, present the gift." The emperor did not save the queen's face, and agreed with the situation.

Su Peisheng on one side brought up the prepared presents. There was only a small tray, and three small boxes could be vaguely seen on it, which were not as rich as everyone imagined.

"Open it." The emperor ordered.

"Hey." Su Peisheng carefully opened the three brocade boxes, each of which contained a jade pendant, and everyone craned their necks curiously to have a glimpse.

"Let's show it to everyone." The queen said with a smile.

"Hey." Su Peisheng took the order to show the gifts to everyone in order according to their ranks. Most people lost interest when they saw the mediocre gifts, and many people had strange expressions.

After showing it around, Su Peisheng took the gift back and placed it on the table in front of the queen and emperor, while he stepped aside and stood still.

"Concubine Hui, Concubine Jin, don't you hurry up and take a step forward to put away the gift?" The queen said with a smile.

"Yes, my concubine, I would like to thank the emperor for his kindness." Ling Rong and Mei Zhuang hurriedly thanked each other, and took a step forward to present their respective gifts.He Jing's gift is a jade pendant with the pattern of wings flying together, while the gifts of the dragon and phoenix are a jade pendant with a colorful phoenix pattern and a jade pendant with a golden dragon spouting pearls pattern. In addition to the fineness of the jade, Can't see anything special about it.

"The two younger sisters have to put it away. Although this ancient suet white jade doesn't look good enough, it is actually a rare and top-quality jade. Please take a look, younger sister." The queen took one of the jade pendants in her hand, and casually Move the jade pendant.

Because Gaogu suet white jade is naturally translucent, when the color system of its background is adjusted and changed, the natural gorgeous color displayed by Gaogu suet white jade also changes accordingly, just like a lizard chameleon, its translucent natural beauty The idiosyncrasies are truly amazing.

"It's so beautiful!" The concubine below couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"This ancient suet white jade is not only beautiful, but also because of its hard texture, it is not easy to carve. The jade pendant made of it can last for a thousand years, and it can be called the best among jades." The queen said while putting the jade pendant back into the box middle.

Lingrong and Meizhuang didn't answer, they just returned to their seats silently carrying gifts.

"It's the empress who is well-informed, otherwise the courtiers and concubines would not know what is so special about this jade." Concubine Qi flattered the empress with envy in her tone.

"If Concubine Qi likes it, why don't you ask the third elder brother to ask the emperor, maybe the emperor will give you a piece if he is happy." Concubine Hua rolled her eyes at Concubine Qi and said with a smile.

"Concubine Hua is joking, not to mention that the emperor has always loved the third elder brother and rewarded him so much; just saying that the third elder brother is the elder brother, how can he be greedy for the things of the younger siblings?" Concubine Qi said in a stiff tone.

"Really?" Concubine Hua replied indifferently, her contemptuous and mocking tone made Concubine Qi's teeth itch with hatred.

"The same is the emperor's child, how can the emperor be partial. I remember that the emperor gave the third elder brother a black jade unicorn with excellent quality last month, but it is no worse than this jade pendant." The queen smoothed things over with a smile.

Hearing this, Concubine Qi's expression eased a lot, but the expression of Cao Guiren sitting next to Concubine Hua changed again and again in a very short period of time, and finally returned to calm.This scene was clearly seen by the mausoleum who had been paying attention to her.Ling Rong picked up the teacup, took a sip, and covered the corners of his mouth that rose unconsciously.

At this time, the song and dance that would appear in every family banquet appeared on the stage, the emperor began to watch the dance, and everyone quieted down, whispering occasionally, which would not affect others.

Ling Rong looked at the singing and dancing on the surface, but in fact he was still paying attention to the movements of Concubine Hua and Cao Qinmo.For Cao Qinmo, Ling Rong has always been jealous. She is Concubine Hua's sharp claws. , Cao Qinmo is much more terrifying than Concubine Hua.However, if used well, other people's sword can also be one's own shield.

She is in too much limelight now, and the queen keeps bringing hatred to her, trying to make her a target of public criticism. She really needs someone to stop her.Originally the best candidate was Zhen Huan, but unfortunately Zhen Huan was too smart and cautious to take the initiative to be the leader.As a last resort, she came up with Cao Qinmo's idea.

What Cao Qinmo cared most about was her daughter Wen Yi. Originally, the emperor loved Wen Yi, but after He Jing was born, most of Wen Yi's favor was given away; attention has been attracted.The emperor didn't even mention Wen Yi's first birthday, Cao Qinmo must feel very uncomfortable for being so eccentric.

And what she wants to do is to deepen Cao Qinmo's dissatisfaction and fear. Cao Qinmo's family is in decline, and he has no favours, no wealth and a shallow foundation. It is not difficult to spread some rumors in her ears.

Naturally, she wouldn't expect Cao Qinmo to regain her favor, what she wanted was Cao Qinmo's tricks to frame her, whether it was for her or Meizhuang, then she would divert the trouble to the east.In the harem, there are so many people who want to be favored, and even more people who want to step on others to climb up, there will be someone who is very happy to be the top bird.

Of course, Zhen Huan is always the one who stands out the most in her heart. Only Zhen Huan can keep the emperor for a longer time, and she can be safer, but it is not easy.

At this time, the singing and dancing were over, and the dancers withdrew one after another.Ling Rong saw that there was movement from Concubine Hua, but it wasn't Cao Qinmo, and Concubine Li stood up.

"Your Majesty, I feel that although the singing and dancing today is very lively, it is a bit rigid, and I always feel a bit boring watching it." Li Bin said with a charming smile.

"If you have any ideas, you might as well tell them." The emperor glanced at Concubine Hua and said.

"Since the sisters here are accompanying the holy driver, they naturally have merits. How about writing out these merits and drawing lots, no matter who gets what, they will come out to entertain the guests, what does the emperor think?" Li Pin asked with a smile.

"This idea is quite new, let's do as you say." The emperor said.

"The concubine has the cheek to do this lottery job." Li Pin said.

"You're used to playing around with tricks, but you don't want to participate if you come up with your own idea," said the emperor.

"If the concubine is not successful in literature or martial arts, I will not show my ugliness, so as not to make everyone laugh. How about this, how about the concubine punishing herself with three cups to show her sincerity?" Concubine Li said, looking at the emperor with winking eyes.

"In that case, I will spare you." The emperor nodded.

Ling Rong watched as Concubine Li pretended to collect the flower sticks written by everyone, and pretended to draw lots.

Except that the queen drew the best word, which was obviously tricky, the others were good and bad, but it looked fair.Among them, Xia Dongchun's sword dance is the most outstanding one, which is unexpected.

Soon, it was Ling Rong's turn. The surprise that Ling Rong got was very simple, just to write a poem, the subject matter was not limited.Although Ling Rong is not good at composing poems, it's not that he can't write them. He wrote a poem in a well-regulated way, and he didn't lose face if he wasn't brilliant.

After the mausoleum was over, it was Mei Zhuang's turn, and what Mei Zhuang drew was "Jing Hong Wu"!Ling Rong raised his eyebrows, knowing that this must be Cao Qinmo's idea.It seems that what Cao Qinmo hates the most is Meizhuang, who also only has a daughter, or maybe, she just doesn't dare to blatantly hate her twins.

"Yo! Sister Concubine Hui got Jinghong Dance!" Concubine Li exclaimed in a loud voice, "Back then, the Empress and Empress danced all over the world. I have never been lucky enough to see the Empress' demeanor, and I have always regretted it in my life. Sister Hui should behave well, don't fall into the reputation of Jinghongwu." Li Pin smiled.

Mei Zhuang looked at the words on the flower stick and frowned slightly, Ling Rong gently held Mei Zhuang's hand, shook it, and slightly rolled his eyes in the direction of other people.Mei Zhuang immediately understood, shook Ling Rong's hand, stood up and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, the queen empress forgives the sin, the concubine is dull, I have never learned the Jinghong Dance, and I have never had the honor to see the demeanor of the former empress." , The concubine has always admired the empress who was both talented and beautiful, and dare not blaspheme easily. The concubine is willing to punish herself three cups, please forgive the emperor, and please forgive me, sisters." After finishing speaking, Mei Zhuang stood there without delay. Three glasses of wine were punished.

"Sister Huipin is too modest, who doesn't know that sister Huipin is a talented woman, how can she be unreasonable." Li Pin said relentlessly.

"Miss Li concubine is joking, the music theory is so profound, and the concubine's qualifications are mediocre, how can she understand it all. Qin, the concubine knows a little bit, why not punish my sister to play a song?" Although the words were directed at Concubine Li He said it, but Mei Zhuang's gaze was directed in the direction of the emperor.

"Concubine Hui's piano is not bad, let's play a piece." The emperor said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, and thank you, Empress, for your kindness." Mei Zhuang thanked him.

"Your Majesty, what a pity that this lottery is wasted? Why don't you invite my younger sister Jinpin to dance to a song? My younger sister Jinpin was born in a Jiangnan water town that is good at singing and dancing. It's impossible that I haven't seen or learned Jinghong Dance." Li The concubine said indifferently.

Seeing that the disaster was brought to him again, Ling Rong was not surprised, so he said very calmly: "Sister Lipin is afraid that she will be disappointed. Although my sister was lucky enough to see Jinghong Dance, she has never been lucky enough to learn it. Sister Quzi will know how to do it." , sister, do you want to listen?"

"Why should my younger sister be overly modest? Even if my younger sister can't dance well, the sisters won't laugh at my younger sister, so why should my younger sister be shy?" Li Pin said loudly.

"Yes, yes." Several other concubines echoed.

Seeing this, Ling Rong could only say helplessly: "Sister Lipin, my sister is not afraid of losing face. Not to mention that my sister is not good at dancing, even if my sister is good at dancing, the sixth elder brother and the little princess are just full moon now, and my sister's body is still weak. I haven't fully recovered, and I really can't fulfill my sister's wish, I hope my sister will forgive me." After speaking, Lingrong coughed twice, and Xiyue, who was sitting at the bottom, couldn't help but clenched the handkerchief in his hand.

"Sister Jinpin is already weak, and this time the childbirth is even close to death. The imperial doctor said that my sister must take good care of her so that she will not fall into the root cause of the disease. Sister Lipin, don't embarrass sister Jinbin. The concubine boldly beseeches the emperor and empress to take pity on my sister." Concubine Jing chimed in.

"Okay, it's fun to draw lots, so why be aggressive. Concubine Jin, you and Concubine Hui can complete a song together." The queen glanced at the emperor and decided aloud.

"Yes." Li Pin retreated disappointedly, while Ling Rong and Mei Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Xi promised Huanbi stood up and said: "I would like to report to the emperor and empress, I know that there is one of the sisters here who is very good at dancing, especially good at dancing."

"Oh? Which sister is it?" the queen asked.

"In the words of the empress, it is the nobleman of Wan. The nobleman of Guan has admired the reputation of the former queen since he was a child, and he always takes the former queen as an example. Master Zhen specially invited a master to teach the nobleman of Wan to learn the frightening Hong dance. The concubine remembers that she has learned a lot. For more than a year, the instructors have praised sister Guan as extremely talented, and she is the best." Huanbi replied with a smile.

Zhen Huan's expression on one side became unsightly. Although she calmed down quickly, she was still noticed by many people.

Ling Rong looked at Huanbi, feeling a little cold in his heart.She did send someone to guide Huanbi, but Huanbi betrayed her former master and sister-in-law so simply and neatly, this cold-heartedness is really terrifying.

On that side, Zhen Huan was cornered and had no way out.Whether it was Concubine Li or the other concubines, they all booed and asked Zhen Huan to do the startling dance.

"Since that's the case, Mr. Guan has complied with everyone's request." The emperor said without saying a word, with no expression of joy or anger on his face.

"The concubine obeys the order." Zhen Huan got up to receive the order.

"Concubine Jin and Concubine Hui will accompany the nobles of Guan." The emperor added another sentence, and everyone was taken aback.

Ling Rong raised his eyes and stared at the emperor for a moment, the emperor's expression was half the same as usual, no joy or anger could be seen, Ling Rong couldn't distinguish the meaning of it for a while, but vaguely felt that the emperor was not humiliating her and Mei Zhuang.

"Sister, hurry up, take the order and thank you." Mei Zhuang on the side gently pulled Ling Rong's hand and said softly.

Ling Rong came back to his senses, seeing the faint worry on Mei Zhuang's face, he quickly smiled, and held Mei Zhuang's hand comfortingly, and the two stood up together to give thanks.

No matter what the emperor's intentions were, she could really feel the friendship of Meizhuang.She is extremely fortunate that in this life, she has shown kindness to Meizhuang because of her past guilt, and thus gained a sister.

Mei Zhuang plays the piano, Ling Rong sings, Zhen Huan dances, everything is like history repeating itself, but Ling Rong knows that everything is different.She is no longer the one who has nothing, she no longer needs to be born with Zhen Huan, Mei Zhuang is no longer disheartened, and Zhen Huan is no longer so deeply in the heart.

After the song, Ling Rong and Mei Zhuang sat back in their seats in silence. She and Mei Zhuang are supporting roles in this scene, so naturally they shouldn't steal the limelight from the protagonist.What's more, she and Mei Zhuang are concubines, and their status is higher than that of Zhen Huan, but they have to accompany her, and they should be upset.

Zhen Huan's dancing posture is beautiful, but not as brilliant as in her previous life, perhaps because she and Meizhuang didn't put [-]% seriousness into it, or maybe it was because there was no flute from Guojun Wang to join in.Zhen Huan's Jinghong Dance has no originality. No matter how beautiful her dance is, she will only really become an imitation of Queen Chunyuan, and the fake is only a fake after all.

"You danced well, are you tired after dancing for so long?" the emperor asked Zhen Huan with concern, without mentioning Mausoleum and Meizhuang.

"The concubine is not tired. The concubine knows that she is not as good as Queen Chunyuan. As long as the emperor does not blame the concubine, the concubine will be satisfied." Zhen Huan said a little nervously.

"Reward! Come, sit by my side." The emperor said.

"Yes, thank you for your grace." Zhen Huan was relieved and sat next to the emperor, attracting everyone's attention.

As soon as he sat down, a young eunuch came to report that it was Prince Yi who asked to see the emperor and had important matters to discuss, and was waiting outside the door.

"I have political affairs to deal with, let's take a step first, you can continue to play." The emperor got up and said to the queen.

"Yes, the concubine sent the emperor respectfully." The queen said with a smile.

"Respectfully send the emperor off." Everyone stood up and sent the emperor off respectfully.

The emperor came out of the palace gate and saw that the old thirteen had drunk most of the wine in his wine bag, so he knew that the old thirteen must have been standing outside the palace for a long time.

"Since you're here, why don't you come in?" the emperor said.

"The younger brother doesn't want to ruin the honor of the emperor." The old thirteen said.

"False, I think you're just being lazy. As an emperor's uncle, it's fine if you don't give gifts. Everyone has arrived at the door, so you don't know how to come in and have a look." The emperor said with a sideways glance at Old Thirteen.

"Chen brother didn't prepare a gift, how dare you have the nerve to drink wine." Yinxiang laughed.

"I don't know when you became so thin-skinned." The emperor scoffed.

"There are so many sister-in-laws in there, it's not good for my younger brother to be so shameless, isn't it, it's not good to lose the face of the emperor's brother." Yinxiang laughed.

"Okay, don't talk too much, let's talk about it in the imperial study." The emperor said.

"Yeah." Yinxiang stopped joking and went to the imperial study with the emperor.

As soon as the emperor left, everyone in the hall lost their desire to compete for power and beauty, and became much calmer, but they all wanted to say something against Zhen Huan.It was very boring for you to come and go, and soon the banquet was over.

The author has something to say:

Fat chapter, everyone, take your time, okay?
