The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

"Today's Chinese Valentine's Day, my concubine will offer a cup to the emperor and queen, wishing the emperor and queen good health and good fortune forever." Zhen Huan toasted to wish the emperor and queen from a distance, with a bright smile on her face, coupled with her makeup tonight, even more Added a bit of shimmering color.

Both the emperor and the queen raised their glasses to each other.

"Your Majesty." Miao Kexin's sweet voice followed immediately, and she stood up holding a plate of grapes, "Strong wine hurts the body, and this concubine carefully chose a good fruit for the Emperor to taste." , raised her eyes delicately to look at the emperor, her eyes were full of soft smiles.

The emperor motioned for Su Peisheng to bring it over, picked one and put it in his mouth: "It's sweet and delicious, it's really more intoxicating than strong wine." He smiled and looked at Miao Kexin, with a hint of pampering in the corner of his mouth.

Miao Kexin lowered her head and smiled shyly, turned her eyes to look at Zhen Huan, saw her sitting on the seat with an ugly face, immediately felt extremely proud, and cast a provocative look.

Sure enough, Zhen Huan's eyes froze, she raised her red lips and said with a light smile, "Miao Xu is really a wonderful person, he is so dedicated to the emperor. The emperor just took a sip of wine, and hurriedly picked the fruit. It's just that the emperor is so careful. I am not full of praise, it seems that my younger sister should pay attention to the emperor's intentions."

"Miss Guan is right. Concubines who entered the palace late are not as good as concubines who have served the emperor for a long time. They are able to figure out the holy will with ease. Concubines are dull, and they know that there are still shortcomings. I hope that concubines will not hesitate to teach them in the future. "Miao Kexin choked back immediately, got up and looked at Zhen Huan, her voice was repeated in a thousand times, lingering around the beam for three days for a long time, then turned her head and looked at the emperor again, "Your majesty, all the concubines think about you day and night, However, the courtiers and concubines are all concerned about the emperor's affairs, and if there is something inappropriate, please forgive the courtiers and concubines."

"I know." The emperor looked at Miao Kexin gently, nodded and said, "with me here, no one dares to blame you."

Miao Kexin smiled shyly and timidly, and Xin Chang on the side was trying to smooth things over: "The emperor has always loved my concubine Guan, it's rare to speak for others today, so it can be seen that the emperor really sympathized and agreed."

Miao Ke smiled complacently, and was about to sit down when she heard Zhen Huan snort.

"Miao promised to be very right, but, who didn't figure out the emperor's holy will little by little? It is better to learn slowly over time. Is it possible that the concubines in the palace should learn from their sisters and serve them?" Is the emperor only relying on his enthusiasm for the emperor? My sister needs to work harder. It is already July, and the saint will return to Luan at the beginning of August. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is time to prepare for the show girl election. At that time, there will be a lot of newcomers. My sister But I'm busy." Zhen Huan's words were full of sarcasm.

"Beautiful girl election, what is the concubine busy with? But the concubine is going to be busy." Miao Kexin shot back with a stick, "The concubine is a few years older than the concubine, so she must be more understanding of the world, naturally. I can teach the new sisters who have entered the palace with ease, and the concubines don’t understand anything, just waiting to laugh with them, what can I do? Your Majesty, do you think the concubines are right?”

Hearing that Miao Kexin was mocking her for being old and her face getting old first, Zhen Huan paused with a slight smile, and then said: "I often hear people say that hardworking people don't get old easily, and my sister is not only hardworking, but also good at perceiving and quick thinking. Cai Cai climbed onto the dragon bed less than a month after entering the palace, and asked for a title for himself. There was an example of this kind of behavior, and there was an example around this palace. It's hard to say." Seeing that Miao Kexin's face changed slightly, she pretended to be stunned, and stabbed him again, "Oh yes, my sister's ability to serve the bed is something that others can't learn."

Miao Kexin stood there dumbfounded, her face turning red little by little.

"Concubine Guan, this is going too far." Concubine Qi stopped talking.

Zhen Huan smiled indifferently.

The queen frowned, feeling that Zhen Huan's words and deeds today were really different from usual, she glanced at the emperor again, her expression was as cold as ice, for a moment she couldn't understand what the situation was, so she could only silently watch the changes.

But the emperor didn't want the queen to keep silent, so he said in a cold voice, "Queen, what do you think?"

The queen was slightly taken aback, and quickly realized that she smiled and hit [-] big boards each: "There are many women, so there will inevitably be verbal disputes. I am happy today. I drank a couple of drinks, and the concubine Guan did not mean it. After the banquet is over, The concubine will talk to them nicely."

In the past, after the emperor heard such words, he was vague and passed away. The queen did not expect that the emperor would suddenly get angry because of this matter today.

The emperor threw away the bead string that he always held in his hand, and said under pressure: "Is this how the queen usually manages the harem for me?" He looked at the queen, and suddenly raised his voice, "No wonder in the harem, usually There are always storms!"

Like a thunderclap, everyone was stunned.

The queen hurriedly got up and walked in front of the emperor, and led everyone to kneel down: "The emperor calms down, it's all the concubine's fault." She said so, but in her heart, Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out. After many years, she knows the emperor best, but today she can't guess the emperor's mind at all.

"Do you know where yours is?" The emperor insisted, "In the harem, quarrels cannot be settled. Could it be that you, the empress, are incompetent!"

These words were too serious, the queen's figure shook for a moment, she was a little panicked: "This concubine is guilty, please forgive me by the emperor."

"Concubine Wan." The emperor looked at the queen, and suddenly nodded Zhen Huan loudly, "Go!"

Zhen Huan showed a panic-stricken expression: "Your Majesty?"

The queen raised her eyes and glanced at the emperor, and saw that his expression was furious, but he couldn't hide the distress and reluctance in his eyes. Suddenly, a flash of spiritual light hit her, making her mind suddenly clear, and connecting back and forth, she suddenly realized that the emperor was Playing with Zhen Huan.Just for what to do this scene, she still has no idea.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to be sad or angry.

I don't know when it started, it was not her, the empress, who helped the emperor's plans and schemes. She was the emperor's first wife, but she was not as good as a concubine in every way. It was really ridiculous.

Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan, you are even stronger than Nian Shilan back then.A dark light flashed across the queen's eyes, and she lowered her head to suppress the sourness in her heart.

Concubine Jing was so frightened: "What does the emperor mean, where should Concubine Guan go?"

"Concubine Guan is disrespectful in front of the imperial court, and she speaks without words. Tomorrow, she will be sent to Penglai Island to contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors." The emperor said in a deep voice, "You are not allowed to go out unless ordered."

Zhen Huan was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she looked up at the emperor in fear.

"Your Majesty, Penglai Island is far away in the back lake. There is no way to go anywhere, only a small boat can get there. Not to mention the remoteness, and it has been uninhabited for a long time. How can we let sister Guan go there? Please read it to the emperor. Sister Guan is the first offender, please forgive her." Fang Chunyi pleaded, sincerely and touchingly.

Zhen Huan also kowtowed to admit her mistake: "Your Majesty, my concubines have served the emperor for three years. Although there are some impoliteness, please remember that my concubines have always been cautious and proper in serving the emperor, and please forgive me this time." Started to cry, "The concubine dare not again."

The Emperor's Sacred Heart couldn't turn around, and scolded: "Isn't it still domineering when I promised Miao just now? I dare to speak and act with jealousy in front of Zhen, and I don't know how to be tricky behind the scenes."

"The concubine didn't mean it." Zhen Huan was so scolded that she couldn't lift her head, and Miao Kexin knelt at the back and laughed heartily, and she even pressed the corners of her mouth tightly, showing aggrieved expression to her.

Sure enough, the emperor looked over, and couldn't hide his distress: "I dote on Miao and agree these days, and you make things difficult for her so many times, and even speak frivolously behind her back. Don't you think I don't know?" He retracted his gaze, and then looked at Zhen Huan again, " How can I tolerate you."

"No concubine." Zhen Huan hastily argued, "The emperor knows that concubine has always been outspoken and did not intend to slander. Even if Bi agreed back then, concubine got along well with her, so how could he be embarrassed to agree? ?”

"Your Majesty, since this is the first offender in Wanwan, let's take it lightly." Concubine Jing also pleaded, "As Lady Zhen said, Penglai Island is too remote."

"Penglai Island is spacious, would Concubine Jing want to accompany you?" The emperor looked at Concubine Jing again.

Concubine Jing choked up for a moment, but Fang Chunyi on the other side straightened up, looked at the emperor, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Penglai Island is remote and desolate, and this concubine would like to go with Sister Wan."

Zhen Huan was taken aback, and looked back at Fang Chunyi, who had a firm expression, and hurriedly came back to persuade her: "Sister Chun, why bother?" But the play had already started, and she couldn't say anything more.

Fang Chunyi showed a miserable smile, got up and took two steps forward, and said bluntly: "The concubine, like sister Wan, is not used to Miao's promise, so please ask the emperor to punish her together."

"Okay, okay, the two of you sisters are on the same mind." The emperor's eyes flashed with admiration, but his face was stern, he got up and said, "In that case, then noble lady Zhen will go to Penglai Island together." Finally , called Su Peisheng to send Zhen Huan and Fang Chunyi off, but he left without looking back.

Miao Kexin looked like a rooster who had won a battle. He looked triumphantly at Zhen Huan and Fang Chunyi who left hand in hand, and satirized Zhen Huan: "The concubine is easy to leave, and the concubine will take good care of the emperor, so that the emperor will never remember to return it." There is a concubine like you."

Zhen Huan remained silent, lowered her head and hurriedly left.

Fang Chun glanced back at the Queen inadvertently, met her flickering glance from the corner of her eye for a moment, and then quickly withdrew.

When the news came back to the palace, An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang were sitting in Shoukang Palace talking to the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, apart from the 330 people found out by the concubines, there are 37 people who have not been registered, which is very strange." Shen Meizhuang handed the roster to the Queen Mother, "What's even more bizarre is that Among the 37 people, 16 died in strange ways in the past few days, including those who died suddenly, those who fell into the water, those who fell into the well, and those who hanged themselves.

The Queen Mother naturally heard her voice, and sneered: "The owner behind these eyeliners is really too anxious, presumably because he is young and inexperienced, so impatient, isn't it true that there is no silver 300 taels here? It's because I'm afraid that others don't know that these people have problems." She glanced at Shen Meizhuang, nodded and said, "Concubine Hui, you did a good job this time."

"It's almost autumn, and the holy car will soon return to Luan. At that time, the concubine will report these things to the emperor one by one, and let the emperor judge." Shen Meizhuang said.

An Lingrong was teasing Ankang at the side, holding her as she walked slowly, raised her head and said with a smile: "Sister Mei has clearly figured out how many people there are in the palace this time. They were dug out, all of them were good at work, and they were almost buried." She looked at Shen Meizhuang, "In this way, my sister will be more relaxed in the future."

"You are also a stupid child. The Ai family said that managing the sixth house is so busy, but I didn't expect that even the quarrel between the palace ladies and eunuchs would require you to mediate in person. You are not too tired to panic." The queen mother patted the back of Shen Meizhuang's hand.

"The concubine is also confused. I only know that the emperor and the empress trust me and entrust the affairs of the Six Palaces to the concubine. I dare not slack off in the slightest. How have I ever thought of employing someone?" Shen Meizhuang smiled flatteringly at the queen mother, "It's a must. When the Empress Dowager has free time to teach the ministers and concubines, the ministers and concubines should do their best."

The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing.

Seeing the Empress Dowager laughing, Ankang also laughed, pushed An Lingrong's hand and walked tremblingly to the Empress Dowager's bed, causing everyone to exclaim.

"Ankang walked early and steadily, and he will definitely be a little monkey in the future." The queen mother smiled and asked Ankang to be carried to the bed, "Even though the old fourteen left early back then, he would be able to walk safely by himself in less than a week." After taking two steps, when I grow up, I can even ride a horse and shoot arrows, and I can run like flying."

An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang glanced at each other, but neither answered.

At this time, Zhu Xi came in and said: "News came from Yuanmingyuan, saying that the emperor will return to the palace half a month in advance. Zhou Siguo, Mr. Zhengui was also going there together, this time the two of them will not come back."

Following the same trajectory as her previous life, An Lingrong wasn't surprised at all, she even guessed that Fang Chunyi would go with her, so she didn't show any surprise at the moment, but Shen Mei stood up anxiously.

"Penglai Island? That's a place worse than the Lenggong. Well, why did the emperor let Concubine Guan go there to think about her past?" Shen Meizhuang asked anxiously.

Zhu Xi shook his head: "I don't know the specific slaves, but I only know that Concubine Guan and Miao Ying had a conflict and said something wrong at the Qixi Festival banquet."

"Huan'er has always been polite, the emperor must have misunderstood." Shen Meizhuang frowned tightly.

An Lingrong glanced at the Empress Dowager's face, and persuaded Shen Meizhuang: "The emperor's sacred heart is arbitrary, and he has his own reasons."

Shen Meizhuang calmed down and sighed heavily.
