The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

One autumn rain and one cold, but everyone in Chengxi Hall was sweating profusely. There were muffled cries of pain from inside the hall. The queen rushed over, and before she entered the door, she saw the emperor sitting on the porch, standing beside her. The nobleman Wan who was served by the flop tonight stood nobleman Shun on the other side.

The queen gathered herself together, walked up the steps in two or three steps, and smiled slowly at the emperor: "The concubine rushed over as soon as she got the news, but she still didn't pass the emperor."

"The empress came all night, thank you for your hard work." The emperor didn't look happy, but said in a low voice.

"At this juncture, it is best for the Queen to take charge of the overall situation. With the Queen here, I can feel much more at ease." Wan Guiren followed the Queen's words and then walked behind the Queen. When the Queen saw this, she just sipped His lips smiled meaningfully without saying much.

Mr. Shun looked at the empress who was standing beside the emperor, and saw that she was dressed in a red gold dress, her hair was full of emeralds, standing under the porch, like a black peony in full bloom, graceful and luxurious, with a gentle smile on her face. She smiled lightly, but for some reason, Mr. Shun only felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, it was very cold.

After another daze, the chill suddenly disappeared again, Mr. Shun shook his head, as if it was just an illusion.

It rained heavily all night, and the emperor and empress sat on the porch all night, until dawn broke and when the first ray of sunlight fell through the dark clouds, there was a loud cry from the Chengxi Hall.

At that time, the rain also stopped.

When An Lingrong woke up again, it was already broad daylight. The golden sunlight came in through the window, and the golden color fell on the ground. She blinked her sour eyes, and the place she saw was blurry, and her body was heavy and unable to move. Half a minute later, the pain during childbirth seemed to be lingering, she reached out helplessly to grab something, and suddenly a hand grabbed her.

"Rong'er, you're awake." Shen Meizhuang's clear voice sounded slowly, An Lingrong found her following the voice, wiped away the misty mist in front of her eyes, and gradually became clear, "You have been asleep for almost an hour, Concubine Duan and I are in a hurry."

"Your Majesty is awake." Cuiyin breathed a sigh of relief, and ran out to report to the emperor.

"Where's the child?" An Lingrong asked hoarsely, "And Ankang, what happened last night was so sudden that I didn't have the energy to take care of her."

"Don't worry, Ankang was in Jingfei Palace last night, and Seventh Brother is also very healthy..." Shen Meizhuang said warmly. Just after saying a few words, he caught a glimpse of a bright yellow figure hurriedly walking towards the door. He stood up, saluted and said hello, and retreated. aside.

The emperor couldn't hide the joy on his face, and sat on the side of the bed, with endless joy in his laughing voice: "Rong'er, you gave me another child, a healthy and healthy elder brother!" As soon as the seventh elder brother landed, the emperor asked Zhou Nan and Wen Shichu to check it carefully, and there were no defects, so he was relieved.

An Lingrong's heart suddenly fell to the ground, and she was overwhelmed by great joy. She sat up unsteadily holding the emperor's hand: "Let me see the child, Cuiyin, go and hug her..."

The wet nurses were arranged early in the morning. After the House of Internal Affairs checks every step of the way, An Lingrong carefully selected two of them, and then sent a letter back to An's house. Hold it in your hand and leave it at ease.Now, one of them walked in slowly holding a gold-woven brocade baby, walked to the window with a smile on his face, and sent the child to An Lingrong after a pleasing greeting: "Your Majesty is overjoyed, it is a healthy baby." What a tough little brother."

The newborn child has lost its wrinkled appearance, with a small body and soft fingers, curled up into a ball, bathed in the sun, it seems that the tiny fluff on his body can still be seen.

An Lingrong softened his brows and eyes unconsciously, stretched out his hand to gently hold Brother Qi's hand, and said softly: "Brother Qi looks like Ankang when he was born, but he is stronger."

"Yes, the siblings seem to be carved out of the same mold." The emperor looked at it carefully, nodded suddenly, and smiled involuntarily, "The appearance of Ankang when he was just born is still in front of him, and I still think today is last night. Rong'er, thank you." He had few heirs, but An Lingrong gave birth to a daughter and a son for him one after another.

"The emperor has loved his concubines for many years, but they have nothing to repay. They can neither take care of the trivial affairs of the harem like the empress, so as to avoid the emperor's worries, nor can they always accompany the emperor like other sisters in the palace, so as to brush off the emperor's lack of governance. Do your best to continue the emperor's heirs and continue the royal blood." An Lingrong leaned in the emperor's arms, and said softly, "You don't need to thank the emperor, the seventh elder brother is the emperor's child, and even more the child of the concubine. Congrats on his arrival."

Hearing this, the emperor was deeply touched.His appearance is different from the women in the palace. She values ​​children not only because they are princes and princesses, but also because they are her own children. The princess neglected her, and she would not give up the useless Ankang just because she had a prince—if Erniang was like Rong'er back then, maybe he didn't have to be young and miserable, and go through hardships early.

"Your Majesty?" An Lingrong was a little confused, so he was hugged tightly by the Emperor, raised his eyes to meet Shen Meizhuang's teasing smile, couldn't help blushing, stretched out his hand and pushed him, "Your Majesty, there are still people here. "

Only then did the emperor realize that he was not alone at this moment, he looked back at Shenmeizhuang, and smiled: "Concubine Hui and you have always been on good terms, so it doesn't matter if she sees it." Looking at Shenmeizhuang, he suddenly felt that he hadn't seen her for a long time Yes, "Concubine Hui is still dressed as before, but today she is dressed in begonia and red, which is delicate but not coquettish, very beautiful."

Shen Meizhuang smiled quietly: "Sister Rong is overjoyed, and this concubine wears a festive color dress as a gesture of goodwill."

"Concubine Hui never wears bright colors, but today I made an exception for Concubine Rong." The queen's voice came from outside the hall, she walked in slowly with a graceful smile, saluted the emperor before saying, "Just now I went back and changed clothes, thinking that Concubine Rong hadn't woken up yet, so the concubine sent someone to search in the warehouse, and found a few pieces of high-quality suet jade, which was given to the concubine by her sister back then. Concubine's previous mutton fat jade bracelet shattered within a short period of time, it's a pity, so I thought of doing what I like, giving these pieces of mutton fat jade to Concubine Rong as a congratulatory gift, does the emperor think it would be good?"

I haven't heard this name for a long time, the queen suddenly mentioned it, and the emperor was in a daze for a moment: "Her things are naturally excellent." He glanced at the queen, "It's hard for you to give up."

"My sister left a lot of things for my concubine to think about before, and the concubine took them out from time to time to take a closer look, which is also the bond between sisters." The queen deliberately mentioned Chunyuan, just to get rid of the black pot on her body. Come down, even if you really can't pick it up, let the emperor let this matter go, and don't remember this account anymore.

Now that An Lingrong has given birth safely, most of the empress' suspicions have gone, and if he moves the emperor with pure old feelings, all the previous things can be easily explained away with a "coincidence".

The queen's eyes flickered, and they fell on An Lingrong, who was focusing on the child, with a cold look in her eyes.

During the half a year of An Lingrong's Qingxiu, the queen consolidated her status as a concubine, carefully trained Hu Guiren, and had a third elder brother as her adopted son. She held all the harem in her hands, and then faced An Lingrong, the queen I have full confidence in my heart.

Sensing the Queen's gaze, An Lingrong raised his eyes to look over, raised his eyebrows and smiled, his expression relaxed.She is not as turbulent as the queen. Now, she has both children and a pampered body, and her mother's family has been promoted step by step, with a bright future. From now on, she only needs to guard the Weiyang Palace and live in peace and stability.

An Lingrong blinked slightly, and looked at the queen silently.

The emperor had something to do before the court, and after sitting for a while, he got up and left. The queen saw that An Lingrong seemed to have something to say, so she stayed behind under the guise of discussing the style of the jade bracelet.

"Thank you, Empress, for taking care of me in the past six months. The concubine is very grateful." An Lingrong walked away, and even Shen Meizhuang was persuaded by her to visit Ankang, leaving only himself and the empress alone.

The queen didn't bother to pretend to be with An Lingrong anymore, she withdrew her usual dignified smile, and looked at An Lingrong coldly: "Concubine Rong, I have always underestimated you, this battle, I am convinced that I lost , but not necessarily in the future." She lowered her eyes to look at the place where Seventh Brother had been lying just now, pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

An Lingrong leaned on the bed and looked at the queen with a half-smile: "My empress, the greatest underestimation of an enemy is to expose yourself before you know the other party's details. Your empress thinks that the concubine will be unprepared Did you give birth to the second child of the concubine?" Seeing the queen's slightly changed face, she slowly said, "When the empress can't sleep at night, she will drink a cup of licorice lemon tea, and afterward, she will chant sutras for a stick of incense. At that time, there were three beads with slight cracks on the commonly used Buddhist beads, is Chen Qie right?"

The queen suddenly opened her eyes wide, looked at An Lingrong, and was unable to speak for a long time.

Since when has the palace been filled with her eyeliner?There is even one in Jingren Palace!The queen took two deep breaths, and finally suppressed the anger.

"Empress, I hope that we can get along peacefully in the future." An Lingrong restrained his momentum, showing a harmless smile, "If people do not offend me, I will not offend others. If anyone offends me, I will pay back double. You should know better than your concubines."

The queen gritted her back molars hard, and forced a word out from between her teeth: "Okay."

Seeing the back of the queen leaving, An Lingrong let out a long breath.

Dill opened the curtain and walked in, saying to An Lingrong: "The servants over at Brother Seven have made arrangements. In addition to Ping Niang and You Niang, Ju Qing will serve personally. The servants also promoted Lian'er and Xing'er to be in charge of Seventh Brother. Brother’s daily life.”

An Lingrong nodded: "Pay attention, it's time for Ankang to arrange for a teaching aunt, everything else is secondary, the most important thing is to be loyal and honest."

"Yes." Dill replied.

"Starting today, it's a complete showdown with the Queen." An Lingrong looked at Dill with burning eyes, "In the past year, Cuiyin did not hide it from you when recruiting people, and you should know everything you need to know. Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Dill shook her head.

"Cuiyin will be 25 in a month. It's not good for me to keep her by my side. You have to be in charge of the maid." An Lingrong smiled slowly, "Dill, take care of yourself." Support Weiyang Palace for me, don't let me down."

Dill bowed down and saluted seriously and solemnly: "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust, and I will live up to Aunt Cuiyin's teachings."

The autumn wind blows, and the first day of October is the day when Anling Rong Jin conferred the title of imperial concubine. On the same day, the seventh prince was named "Honghao" by the emperor. For a while, the scenery of Weiyang Palace was unparalleled. Everyone knew that this honored concubine was The harem is second only to the empress's concubines, and the number of people worshiping under him suddenly increased.

"Hao, God. How can her child deserve such a name?!" The queen couldn't contain the anger in her heart, and almost gritted her silver teeth.Her Honghui had never had such honor, how could An Lingrong's son be placed on her Honghui's head!

Jian Qiu looked at the Queen's expression carefully, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Hu Guiren and Yu Guiren went to Weiyang Palace together."

"White-eyed wolf!" The queen scolded, she endured and endured to maintain her demeanor, "Is there anyone who found out that Concubine Rong was placed in Jingren Palace?"

Jian Qiu raised his heart even more, lowered his head, and shook his head slowly.

"boom!"

The exquisite blue and white porcelain cup was smashed to the ground, and Jian Qiu suddenly knelt down.

The queen's face was covered with clouds, and her eyes were scarlet.
