The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

The empress dowager had tears in her eyes, and looked down at Shenmeizhuang: "Ai's family is sick, and you are staying here as your own palace. Is there someone to take care of you?"

"It's a concubine's blessing to be able to devote myself to the Empress Dowager. Concubine Jing will take care of Obscure Moon temporarily, and Concubine Rong will also take care of her from time to time. It's not a big problem." Shen Meizhuang knelt beside the bed, with a beautiful smile on his face.

"The emperor may not have your filial piety." The Queen Mother nodded appreciatively to her and gently blinked away the tears from her eyes, "Where is the emperor now?"

Shen Meizhuang's smile froze slightly, his eyes drooped and he dared not speak, the queen mother raised her head and nodded her breath to speak back.

Zhu Xi hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "The emperor is in the Hall of Mental Cultivation to deal with Longkodo's funeral, and clear out his party members."

The queen mother was slightly stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and said again and again: "If the emperor wants to be a good emperor, the Ai family should be happy. So the Ai family can't blame the emperor for not coming to pay his respects. It turns out that the Ai family is not right."

She was so sad that she couldn't express it. She was clearly thinking about the emperor, but the emperor didn't appreciate it. He ignored her words in a blink of an eye. Who would be willing to give up on him?

Forget it, the emperor told her, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics", and she was still worrying about what to do.

"Queen Mother, why do you say such sad things?" Shen Meizhuang looked at the Queen Mother worriedly.

"The Ai family is not sad, the Ai family is happy for the emperor." There were tears in the Queen Mother's eyes, but she tried to smile, trying to make her words sound more credible. She looked at Shen Meizhuang, leaned over slightly, and reached out to hold her. "Good boy, except for you who are always dedicated to the Aijia, only the imperial concubine also sends some things from time to time. In such a big harem, you two are the only ones who still care about the Aijia."

Shen Meizhuang lowered his head slightly, smiled and said nothing.

"Zhu Xi," the Queen Mother raised her head and said to Zhu Xi, "It is passed down the will of the Ai family that Concubine Hui of Jin is Concubine Hui."

Shen Meizhuang was startled, and hurriedly got up and knelt down: "The concubine respects the Queen Mother, not for honor and status..."

"The Ai family knows." The Empress Dowager interrupted Shen Meizhuang's words and said, "The Ai family wants to fulfill your filial piety. If you were not here all the time, the emperor would be accused by the people of the world as unfilial."

She is old and can no longer help the emperor.Since she is not sick, then she will clean up the mess.

Shen Meizhuang looked at the pain and sadness in the empress dowager's eyes, and a gust of cold wind whizzed through his heart, making his heart desolate.She finally nodded and agreed to the Queen Mother: "Yes, thank you Queen Mother."

If the emperor and the queen mother do not reconcile for a day, her concubine Hui will be in name only.This is the transfer of the empress dowager's conflict. She ended the cold war with the emperor with Shen Meizhuang's Jin Feng, and took the lead in lowering her figure and giving the steps. If the emperor is willing, as long as she goes to see Shenmeizhuang, this matter will be over, but If the emperor is unwilling to let this matter go, then he will never come to see her.

With this nod, Shen Meizhuang has ruined all the friendship between himself and the emperor.

"Concubine Hui is so lucky. After so many years, she finally reached the position of fourth concubine." Concubine Qi said in a bad tone. Seeing Shen Meizhuang's brand new dress, she felt sour in her heart.

Even after being granted the title of concubine, Shen Meizhuang still behaved in a low-key manner. He just smiled faintly at Concubine Qi and said, "Sister Concubine Qi is joking."

"With Concubine Hui's character and talent, it will be a matter of time before she becomes a concubine. Although she is still young, she is worthy of it." Concubine Jing smoothed things over with a smile.

"Isn't it? Concubine Hui doesn't please anyone, she is tied to the queen mother with all her heart, her thigh is tightly hugged, doesn't she just get whatever she wants?" Concubine Qi covered her lips and smiled coquettishly, her words sarcasm "Concubine Qi is right. Concubine Hui is blessed. The concubine gave birth to Princess Ankang and Elder Brother Seven. Half of her feet have entered the gate of hell. Concubine Hui is so painless. , Tsk tsk, isn’t this a blessing, what is it?”

Seeing the fire on Zhen Huan's body, Shen Meizhuang felt a little overwhelmed, and was about to explode when Jiang Fuhai sang "Concubine Rong is here" from outside the hall, and everyone stood up to greet her.

"As soon as I walked to the door, I heard the commotion inside. What are you talking about?" An Lingrong laughed before saying a word, but the momentum around him was so heavy that people couldn't breathe. The yellow warbler at the head, you are so happy to talk, why don't you come and listen to Bengong?"

An Lingrong was smiling, but Concubine Qi was so restrained that she didn't dare to say a word.

Concubine Min came in with An Lingrong, seeing this, she couldn't help letting out a short laugh, which made Concubine Qi blush in embarrassment.

"What's the matter?" The queen came out in time to make a rescue, looked at An Lingrong, pursed her lips and said with a smile, "It's rare to see Concubine Rong once."

"Greetings to the empress." An Lingrong passed the concubine Qi, bowed to the empress in a respectful manner, got up and sat down, and then said with a smile, "A few days ago, my concubine had a cold, and I was afraid that the empress would be sick if I got sick. Empress, I didn't come to pay my respects, and I hope that your empress will not be fussy with your concubines. However, your empress, after seeing you for a few days, looks younger, and the fine lines around your eyes have faded a lot, what good things did you use?"

The corners of the queen's eyes twitched, and she kept her smile steady: "Concubine Rong always likes to joke, how can I have such a good thing in this palace, the box of soothing glue you gave to Concubine Qi earlier is a good thing, such a deep wound, she is the only good thing. After using half a box, it was almost back to normal, and I don’t know where you came from.” She frowned and recalled, “I remember, after Ankang was infected with smallpox, he also used this soothing glue to smooth out the acne marks. .”

Qi Bin twirled her handkerchief and covered the back of her face, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.

She didn't recover as before, she saved and saved, and finally left three shallow scars. Although they can be covered up completely after putting on makeup, they are very obvious under the lamp at night, so that she is waiting for her. She didn't dare to take off her make-up when she was sleeping, and she couldn't get too close to the emperor as before, which caused her current favor to be far worse than before, and she was stepped on again and again by the concubine Zhen.

Thinking of this, Concubine Qi couldn't help but glance at An Lingrong angrily.

She had gone to Weiyang Palace to beg several times, but every time she was stopped by the court lady named Cuiyin, she kept saying "Concubine Rong said, there is only the remaining half box, there is not much more", all the time. Then she waited until the imperial doctor said that the scar was already set and would be difficult to repair, then she gave up.

Concubine Qi was aroused by the queen's words, and her jealousy towards An Lingrong increased by three points.Concubine Rong has a lot of good things in her hands, and there must be some Shuhen glue, but I just don't want to give it to her!
"The emperor is busy with government affairs these days, and doesn't come to the harem often, everyone, don't hold back your grievances, you must understand the emperor." The queen's smile was flawless, but there was a hint of complacency in it.So, the emperor will still come to Jingren Palace on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and nothing can be done, no matter how favored Concubine Rong is, it's almost half a month since he hasn't seen the emperor.

An Lingrong took a sip of tea slowly and ignored the queen's subtle display.

"The empress can still see the emperor twice in a month, but the concubine may not be able to see the emperor once in two months. This is really like frying in the heart. It is very difficult." Concubine Qi vomited bitterness, her face looked like a bitter gourd. But his expression greatly pleased the queen.

"The concubine is already satisfied to serve the empress, there is no such thing as being wronged or not." The concubine flattered the empress with care, and her obedient baby face made her obedient and sensible, like a tamed cat. A house cat for many years.

"The queen empress is the mother of the world, she is the master of the middle palace, she is loving and tolerant, the concubines admire the empress empress, and can't wait to live in Jingren Palace. It is the imperial concubine who is careful, and you can see at a glance that the fine lines at the corners of the empress' eyes have faded, and the concubine's eyesight is dull , I just feel that the spirit of the empress is much better than before." Kang Changzai still flattered the horse's legs, if An Lingrong didn't know that she wholeheartedly wanted to join the queen, he would really think that she was speaking for him.

The queen's face froze slightly for a moment, and she restrained her smile: "Okay, what's there to say about these flattery words, I am too lazy to listen to a few more." She looked at Shen Meizhuang, "Hui Concubine, you are now the fourth concubine , living in Suiyuxuan is not worthwhile, Jingyang Palace is still empty, why don't you move there?"

"Empress, although the Suiyu Pavilion is small, the concubines are used to living there, and if they don't want to move to the palace, please allow me." Shen Meizhuang immediately stood up and replied.

"Oh, you have this temper, you are very stubborn." The queen sighed, and she didn't want to persuade her any more, "Forget it, if you like it, then you should live in Suiyuxuan, but you should also move to the main hall. A main seat, always nestled in a small side hall, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the Queen Mother and her old man?"

Shen Meizhuang paused, unable to refute, so he could only answer: "Yes."

Only then did the queen talk about other trifles: "Dragon Boat Festival will be in about ten days. The emperor told me the night before that every year the Dragon Boat Festival is made of rice dumplings. There is nothing new about it. This year, why don't we go to the Yuanmingyuan to watch the dragon boat race together? Livelier. What do you sisters think?"

"That's strange." An Lingrong's eyes lit up slightly, and he smiled crookedly, "However, it's not interesting to just watch the dragon boat race. If you want me to tell you, sisters, why don't you place a bet at the opening and choose a dragon boat each? How about a bet, which one wins the championship?

"It's a good feeling. Although I didn't personally race the dragon boat, I can still participate in it." Xin Gui was the first to applaud, and it was obvious that he was very interested. "It's better to set a lottery."

"Sister Xin, I'm afraid I can't wait any longer." Min Bin laughed and moved to Xin Gui's side and said, "I've grown so big, I haven't seen a dragon boat race yet!"

Everyone also met and discussed in twos and threes.

They are all boudoir daughters, have you ever seen this before?Not to mention making a bet, it was so novel that even Concubine Jing and Shen Meizhuang got interested in it.

"Gambler by nature, Concubine Rong, are you trying to break the law?" The queen caught An Lingrong's mistake and was about to explode.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Only An Lingrong, still smiling, replied: "Empress, we don't gamble for money, we just want to have fun, why should we be so disappointed? If the empress does not win the prize, the concubine will share the burden for you." OK?" She tilted her head and thought for a while, then clapped her hands and said, "I have a nine-turn flying phoenix gold silk emerald emerald makeup box, which is exquisite and elegant, and it is also enough to make a face, the empress thinks it is good?"

The queen seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "I have no control over this matter. Concubine Rong should go talk to the emperor. If the emperor agrees, I will naturally have nothing to say."

"Okay." An Lingrong nodded with a smile.

Everyone knelt down and left Jingren Palace.

Concubine Min and An Lingrong saluted and took Mr. Yugui happily back to Yikun Palace.

"Her appearance reminds me of Chun'er in the past." Shen Meizhuang looked at the back of Concubine Min leaving, and said with emotion.

"That's right." An Lingrong's eyes were deep. Thinking of the past, he felt as if he had passed away, "I accepted her only because she had the shadow of Chun'er from before. Since the fall of the Tong family, Mr. Shun has no intention of competing for favor. She shut herself in her room and chanted scriptures all day, I'm afraid it will be like this in the future."

"If you don't want anything in your heart, you will naturally do nothing." Shen Meizhuang nodded clearly, "It's also good, having Concubine Min and Mrs. Yugui in your hands is better than letting the queen's people take full advantage of her favor."

An Lingrong raised her lips casually and smiled, and said jokingly: "I just hope that Concubine Min will not become the second Concubine Zhen, otherwise, I will waste my efforts to promote her to the top." She paused for a while, then replied Then he asked, "Sister, do you remember what day it is today?"

"Of course I remember." Shen Meizhuang nodded and smiled melancholy, "I'll take Miyue to your place later, and then I'll call Concubine Jing and Sixth Brother, let's get together."

An Lingrong raised his eyebrows and smiled softly: "Okay, I will cook it myself."

Hand in hand, the two walked slowly down the long street, their shadows stretched long, as if step by step into the golden sunshine.

The last paragraph is written as if it is the finale...
