The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

The news that Meng Jingxian was rejected by King Guojun spread throughout the capital within a few days, and she became the laughing stock of the entire capital for a while, and because she usually prides herself on being noble and never associates with female relatives, who is even more so now? Everyone is happy to step on it.However, these are not what Meng Jingxian cares about, what she cares about is what King Guo said in the palace.

"My lord said, you will never be a wife unless you are true love..." Meng Jingxian sat in front of the dressing table in a daze, staring at herself in the mirror, her heart suddenly ached, and she shed tears, "He really fell in love with Zhen Huan ..."

The maidservant who served her was very distressed, and also defended her: "Miss has been with the prince for many years, and she has done so many things for him, but it was all in vain? In the end, it is really embarrassing to be occupied by a broken shoe dove's nest." People are chilling!"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the mother outside the door reported that it was King Guo who came to make amends.

Meng Jingxian wiped away her tears, adjusted her makeup, and got up to go to the front hall.

"Do you still want to go?" The voice of Mrs. Meng Guogong's wife suddenly sounded, and she stopped Meng Jingxian's footsteps, "For so many years, you have devoted yourself to King Guojun, but now you have ended up like this, why bother to go and get yourself Its humiliation? Do you have to hear those words from his mouth before you are willing to give up?"

"Mother, when you insisted on marrying your father, didn't you fly like a moth into a flame?" Meng Jingxian didn't look back at her, but said coldly, "I am your daughter, so I naturally have the same disposition as yours."

"You have to break your head to know how to turn around. Well, it's up to you." Mrs. Meng Guogong laughed at herself, turned and left.

Meng Jingxian held back the tears in her eyes, took a deep breath, swallowed the breath that was stuck in her chest, and then walked towards the front hall. As soon as she walked outside the hall, she was stopped by the voice inside.

"My lord, I only have such a daughter. She held her in the palm of my hand since she was a child and regarded her as a pearl. She fell in love with you at first sight when she was young. Since then, she has been by your side and worked for you. She is weak, but whenever the lord speaks, she always It's because I don't care about myself and do things beautifully and successfully every time. Although I feel distressed, I can't stop her." Meng Guogong's voice was old but calm, "I have always thought that the prince and the daughter are in love with each other. , so he acquiesced in this marriage, but now, the Queen Mother wants to grant the marriage, and the prince refuses the marriage even if he annoys the queen mother, I really don't understand what it means, so I ask the prince to explain."

King Guo’s voice came out somewhat inauthentically, piercing Meng Jingxian’s heart one by one: “This king has failed Jingxian, but since one thing is known to be wrong, it should be corrected in time. The king took pity on Jingxian, and couldn't bear her loneliness and misery for the rest of her life, so this king refused the marriage." He paused, and continued, "This king already has his own heart, and I really can't drag Jingxian any longer. Forgive me."

Meng Jingxian gasped, covering her mouth with tears like rain.

"My lord, those who plan great things should not stick to the love of their sons and daughters. Dare to ask if the person whom the lord loves can help the lord become a great treasure like a minister?" Meng Guogong's voice was a little angry, "As long as the lord agrees, Marrying Jingxian, I wish to be loyal to the prince and help the prince to complete the great cause of the future."

The hall was silent for a while, and then Prince Guo's voice rang out: "I have decided to give up my plan to seize the throne. From now on, I will only be a free prince and live a leisurely life. The Duke of the country has the intention, but I have no intention of doing so anymore."

"My lord!" Meng Jingxian made a sad voice. She walked in from the door and looked at King Guo, her face full of pain. "For her, did the lord even give up his great cause? All these years of forbearance and deployment are all because of a woman." , the prince said no, so I don’t want it? Then what am I? After all these years of getting along and being with me, what is it?”

She didn't have such an impulsive and emotional temper, but at this moment, Meng Jingxian really couldn't help it.If the prince then takes that position, she can be a concubine, but she absolutely cannot accept it. The prince gave up his many years of hard work for Zhen Huan, and her hard work is also part of it.

The prince abandoned his ambition, and by the way, also abandoned her sincerity towards him.

"Jingxian, I'm sorry." King Guo just looked at Meng Jingxian steadfastly, but the determination in his eyes said everything.

Meng Jingxian's feet were weak and she almost fell down. She didn't want to believe it, she shook her head, tears fell drop by drop, her hands tightly pinched the skirt of her chest, and it took a long time to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying. She raised her head and said: "My lord , she is not worth what you do for her, time will prove all of this...Only I really like the prince...Jingxian can wait until the day the prince turns back..."

"Jing Xian!"

Meng Jingxian's eyes darkened, her body fell limply, and the sharp pain in her heart made her fall into endless darkness.

Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan, I should have been wary of you long ago!
"He's also a poor person." After An Lingrong learned that Meng Jingxian had fallen ill, she sighed lightly and didn't continue, "Is sister Mei okay recently?"

Cardamom nodded, and said: "Ever since Empress Hui moved to Suiyuxuan, the emperor didn't see her very much, even Princess Obscure Moon seldom, and only occasionally sent some things there. Yesterday, Empress Hui Jingmeng, after the emperor found out, he sent Dr. Wen to go to see him, and he said that he was overwhelmed with worry, and there was no serious problem."

"Excessive worry." An Lingrong repeated in a low voice, looking at the dazzling sunlight outside the window, "It's summer again..."

"When it comes to summer, I feel flustered, thinking that summer is over and it will be autumn, and the matter of Huan'er leaving the palace seems to be in front of me again. I watched her suffer, but there is nothing I can do." Shen Meizhuang sat on the soft couch in the east side hall, Looking at the gate of Suiyuxuan from a distance, I don't know whether to say it to Wen Shichu or to myself, "It was like this before, and it will still be like this in the future."

"Everything is fine with Huan'er outside, Madam, don't worry." Wen Shichu said slowly.

Shen Meizhuang pulled the corners of his mouth, and said with a slight smile: "Every time I say yes, in fact, I know that she is not well, but you are just comforting me. I also know that when you see her not well, you will feel even more sad." She lifted Glancing at Wen Shichu, he pierced his careful thinking, "It's just that you have to be careful. Although Huan'er is abolished now, she came out of the palace after all. My lord can only be a person who cherishes flowers and protects them, not a flower girl." master."

"My minister is terrified." Wen Shichu hurriedly lowered his head, and after a pause, he continued, "Your Majesty is now living in the East Side Hall of Suiyuxuan, for Huan...Ms. Mo Chou is worried about her day and night, which leads to excessive worry and less insomnia. For sleep, Wei Chen will prescribe a prescription, after the empress eats it, she may be able to sleep better at night."

"Thank you." Shen Meizhuang nodded to him, "It's hard for you, running both inside and outside the palace, I will remember the kindness of Mr. Wen."

"The humble minister also has his own selfishness. If the empress said so, she would offend the humble minister." Wen Shichu hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted, "I heard from Caiyue that the empress occasionally coughs after nightfall, and the humble minister has stewed rock sugar loaf, my empress. Come in."

Shen Meizhuang watched Wen Shichu bring out a bowl of rock sugar loquat soup from the medicine box, nodded and smiled: "You have a heart."

Wen Shichu's heart skipped a beat, and he knelt down in salute: "I will take my leave."

Day by day, An Lingrong's belly grew bigger day by day. After Jingui and Wangui's confinement period expired, the palace became lively again.

"Your Majesty Wan is becoming more and more favored, even the maiden concubine has to stay behind!" Cardamom said while picking beans, "The emperor only enters the harem for about ten days a month, and eight or nine days are spent by nobleman Wan." Sleeping, Jingui is very angry, but there is nothing he can do about it." She lowered her voice and moved closer to An Lingrong, "I heard that Longkodo was imprisoned by the emperor, and the Tong family's situation is gone, and Jingui is in a panic right now. There's no way out."

An Lingrong pursed his lips and smiled softly, turned his head to look at Mr. Shun who was sitting on the porch embroidering, and said slowly: "The Tong family mansion will fall, and your vengeance will be avenged, and in a few days it will be the Ghost Festival Now, take this opportunity to talk to your lord, it's time to rest in peace."

"Thank you, ma'am." There were tears in the nobleman Shun's eyes, he stood up and bowed to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong smiled at her, then turned to motion for Doukou to continue.

Cardamom resumed talking about the trivial matters in the palace: "Third Elder Brother has been studying harder and harder recently..."

"The third elder brother has been working harder in his studies recently, and the emperor praised him yesterday!" Concubine Qi thanked the queen with a smile on her face, "After all, the empress has a way to change the third elder brother's wife, which is much better than the previous one."

The queen pursed her lips calmly, took a sip of tea, and glanced at her: "The third elder brother is the eldest son of the emperor. Of course, this palace values ​​her, but you, with such a noble status, why bother to target nobleman Wan again and again? It's nothing to talk about." .She is the emperor's favorite now, if she is pregnant, she will be concubine immediately, you should get along with her better."

Concubine Qi's face turned bitter, and she couldn't help rambling again: "Why did the concubine want to argue with the nobleman Wan, but after all, the concubine is the biological mother of the third elder brother, so how could she not help the third elder brother? Please greet me this morning, in her words Out of words, he ridiculed the third elder brother for not being smart, and being inferior to the fourth elder brother in every way..."

"You gave birth to the third elder brother, and I also watched him grow up. I love him no less than you." The queen glared at Concubine Qi unhappily. It seemed that she was the only one who loved him. Like the third elder brother.

Concubine Qi didn't realize that she had said it, and she was secretly sad: "The concubine knows that she is old and fading. The emperor doesn't love the concubine anymore. It's just that it doesn't matter if the concubine falls out of favor, but the third elder brother is the emperor's eldest son after all!"

The queen was poked at the sore spot, and her skin tightened involuntarily.

She is older than Concubine Qi, and Concubine Qi claims to be old and decrepit, isn't she implying that she, the empress, is even older?Couldn't help being annoyed for three minutes, but still patiently said: "You are an old man who serves the emperor, how can the emperor not love you? The third elder brother is the emperor's only grown-up prince after all, even if Concubine Rong was born The next prince will not be able to catch up with the third elder brother."

Concubine Qi was still angry, the queen saw that she didn't get in, she also ran out of patience, and said angrily: "If you really can't see it, you can pave the way for the third elder brother yourself, don't say such useless things in front of me .”

"Empress..." Concubine Qi wanted to say more, but the queen impatiently sent her to her knees. She had no choice but to get up and leave Jingren Palace.

On the road, I ran into Fang Chunyi taking Hu Guiren to catch butterflies in the imperial garden, and the two laughed and saluted Concubine Qi.

In the eyes of Concubine Qi, these two were just little girls who hadn't grown up, so she casually waved the handkerchief and asked them to get up: "It's such a hot day to play outside, be careful of getting sunburned."

"Mr. Hu was so bored that she had nowhere to go, so the concubine took her out for a walk, and she will go back later." Fang Chunyi smiled childishly, "Is the concubine Qi coming from the queen's side? The queen yesterday The empress has made a new chestnut cake, it is delicious, have you tried it?"

"You greedy cat, you want to eat all day long." Concubine Qi was infected by her smile, and she couldn't help laughing, "You two can go back to Changchun Palace with Ben Gong, and Ben Gong can also make chestnut cakes. Let’s make it for you to taste.”

Fang Chunyi took Hu Guiren and happily followed Concubine Qi away.

However, what Concubine Qi didn't know was that she had already lured wolves into the house.
