The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

As night falls, the Yangxin Hall is still brightly lit.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take a rest after being tired all day. The imperial concubine and empress have visited the palace several times, do you want to go over and have a look?" Su Peisheng hurriedly stepped forward to ask as he watched the emperor put down his ink pen.

The emperor rubbed his eyes, exhausted all over his body: "Alright, I will go to Weiyang Palace to sit down."

Before reaching the gate of the palace, Ankang's heroic laughter was heard from afar, and the emperor smiled unconsciously.

After the sedan chair fell, he walked into Weiyang Palace. When he looked up, he saw that several children were there.Ankang was the most naughty, sitting on the tree shaking his fan and laughing. He was not at all demure and elegant after being taught by his grandma. The sixth brother was walking under the tree with his hands open, for fear that Ankang would fall. Hazy Moon was so quiet that she hugged the cloth tiger. Standing aside, Ankang laughed so hard that his eyes closed. Only the seventh brother was held in the arms of the wet nurse, babbling and shouting.

"What day is it today? It's so lively." When the emperor opened his mouth, everyone looked over.

"Greetings to the emperor, the emperor is blessed and safe." Everyone bowed down, only Ankang.

"Huang Ama!" Ankang climbed down from the tree excitedly, frightened the sixth elder brother into a panic, waved his hands and feet, and was able to protect her from falling to the ground. After thanking her, Ankang ran to the emperor, "Ankang After waiting for a long time, Huang Ama didn't come, so I thought she wouldn't come today." She pulled the emperor's trousers, and stretched out her hand to hug him.

The emperor picked her up and walked to Haoyue. He lowered his eyes and said, "We haven't seen each other for a while. Haoyue won't even smile when she sees me."

"What is it? The child is still young. As soon as the emperor hugged her, she laughed." Concubine Jing smiled and said to Miyue with lowered eyes, "Miyue, quickly call Huang Ama."

The emperor put down Ankang and picked up Miyue again, bouncing twice: "Concubine Hui took good care of Miyue, and it's getting heavy again."

Long Yue held the little tiger in her arms and glanced at the emperor in confusion. After being hugged and put down, she realized what she was doing. Wen Jing called out loudly again: "The Emperor's Ama."

The emperor smiled, looking at the jade collar on her neck, his eyes softened for a moment, and he reached out to touch her head.Looking up for a while, his eyes fell on the table with only a few small bowls here and there, and he couldn't help joking: "It's rare for Rong'er to open a small stove, why don't you wait for me to come over before starting the banquet?"

"The emperor also said that the concubine sent people to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to invite three times and four times, but they couldn't wait for the emperor. Seeing that it was dark, the dishes were cold, and the children were hungry, the banquet was held." An Pretending to be angry, Ling Rong took the handkerchief and shook the emperor, "The emperor is busy with affairs, so it is common sense not to come, how can my concubine afford to wait."

"When did I say that I couldn't do it?" The emperor also cooperated with her acting, pretending to be angry, and sat down at the banquet, "I'm also hungry, no matter what, bring it to my belly."

An Lingrong chuckled: "I'm joking with the emperor. If the emperor doesn't come, how can the concubines dare to eat first? Sister Mei and Sister Jingfei are hungry and waiting until now, so they just fed a few children." Saying that, she let Shi Luo is ready to serve.

"Nizi is naughty, I know you haven't eaten yet." The emperor also smiled, and raised his hand to signal Shen Meizhuang to sit down with Concubine Jing, "What day is it today, and you have to work so hard to cook?"

Shen Meizhuang's expression froze slightly, Concubine Jing smiled a little helplessly, and was about to open her mouth to prevaricate, but An Lingrong directly pointed it out: "Today is April [-], Sister Zhen's birthday. Mei My sister said that I have been crying in the dark moon night recently, and the concubine thought that maybe it was because of the bond between mother and daughter, so I asked sister Mei to bring the dark moon to pay respects to the moon as a token of appreciation."

She smiled generously, stretched out her hand to scoop up a bowl of perch soup for the emperor and handed it over: "Seeing the moon, this concubine thought of Sixth Brother, so I invited sister Jingfei to come with me... Your majesty, try this. The white jade seabass soup has been stewed for three hours, and it is the most delicious. The emperor has been busy all day, so he will take a few sips to warm his stomach."

When Concubine Jing heard her talking about Zhen Huan, she secretly took a breath of air, for fear that the emperor would smash the bowl in the next second.

However, the emperor's expression changed slightly, he took a sip slowly with the bowl, and said in a low voice: "Yes, today is April [-]th..." There was no more to say.

After eating a meal, Jingfei was terrified. On the other hand, Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong, one was calm, the other was smiling, they were not affected at all, and they couldn't help sighing a few words in their hearts.

"I went to greet the empress this morning and talk about the Dragon Boat Festival. I heard from the empress that the emperor is tired of making rice dumplings, and wants to hold a dragon boat race in Yuanmingyuan this year?" An Lingrong was eating new bamboo shoots and saw the emperor Nodding, he said with a smile, "The concubine also thinks this is a good move. It's rare to have such a lively event in the palace, but it's still boring to just watch it dryly. Why don't you draw lots and let the sisters Follow along with the betting, guess which ship wins the top prize in the end, and the one who guesses right can win the jackpot, and everyone has participated in it. What does the emperor think?"

"The queen also came to tell me about this today. It is inevitable that there is a suspicion of gathering people for gambling." The emperor slowly took a mouthful of eggplant, and the salty and rich sauce spread in his mouth. He couldn't help but squinted his eyes and changed his mind. He came up with an idea, "But the order does not involve money, it's okay to just join in the fun." He looked at An Lingrong and smiled slightly, "I heard from the Queen that you took the Nine Turns Fei Feng Golden Thread Point A emerald makeup box for the headdress?"

"I have nothing good to offer, so I have to use the reward from the emperor to show off my appearance. Don't blame me, your Majesty." An Lingrong winked slyly and smiled brightly.The emperor was not annoyed and just called her "tricky" again.

After dinner, the emperor did not stay overnight, and after sitting for a while, he drove to Yanxi Palace.

"I was really worried about you during the dinner just now." Concubine Jing was still frightened, "I still remember that on the day of the full moon, I only mentioned half a sentence, and the emperor became so angry that I was scared to death. ." After saying that, she sighed again, "I have seen it a long time ago. On the surface, the emperor has let go of Concubine Wan, but in fact, he is still thinking about it in his heart. Ever since Concubine Hui moved into Broken Yuxuan, the emperor has rarely gone to see Longyue. I only went there once on the day of the first-year banquet, but I sat in the empty main hall for most of the day."

"It doesn't matter if the emperor comes to Suiyuxuan or not, I only miss Huan'er." Shen Meizhuang held Ouyue and brought her a piece of soft jujube cake, his eyes were full of worry, "I wonder if she is doing well outside the palace? Ever since the Empress Dowager fell ill intermittently last winter, even Aunt Fangruo has been forced to leave the palace."

"It's okay, it's definitely okay." Concubine Jing said hastily, "Concubine Guan is an auspicious person, no one will bully her anymore, don't worry."

"In the first month, when I accompanied the emperor to visit Guojun King and came back, Yujia was almost at Ganlu Temple. I wanted to go in and have a look, but who knows, seeing that he was about to reach the door, the emperor had a sudden change in his sacred heart and ordered him to go back to the temple. Luan." An Lingrong sighed softly, and said, "Sister Mei, not only we miss Sister Zhen, but the emperor also misses her very much, but no one gives him a step, so he can't get down."

"So what if the emperor is worried about it? I hope that Huan'er will not come back to the palace again, and let her go as long as she is happy." Unable to escape freely."

Yes, no woman in the palace can live for herself. Parents, brothers, and family members are all a drag.

An Lingrong took a sip of tea, looked at the dark night outside the window, lowered his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, and sighed softly.

In Jingren Palace, the queen took care of even a trace of her hair. She sat upright and took a sip of tea: "You are all following Concubine Rong. I thought you wouldn't come tonight."

Concubine Min was sitting on the couch on the other side, and there was nobleman under the seat. The two of them looked at each other, but it was Concubine Min who spoke first: "Your Majesty sent someone to Yikun Palace, saying that there is something very important to do. Informing the concubine is a matter of life and death for the Hu family, and it involves the mother's family, of course the concubine has to come and ask the empress to make it clear."

The queen smiled softly: "It wasn't a big deal at first, but now, it has become a terrible thing." She smiled warmly, but her words were like sharp knives, "That year in the draft, your sister Hu Yunrong was in front of the palace selection. I have committed a serious crime by giving and receiving privately. Mrs. Hu once used the name of Princess Rongxian to make friends. She finally obtained the emperor's pardon and let you enter the palace instead of your sister. Fame." She gently put down the teacup, "But recently, I have heard some rumors that your Hu family has nothing to do with the eldest princess's mansion, and your mother Feng Lianxiu is not the blood of the forehead Urgon. , but your biological grandmother, Princess Rong Xian's dowry maid Feng Chan conceived after having an affair with someone!"

The color of Concubine Min's face faded in an instant, she looked at the queen, she only felt that her face was blue and fangs, and her complexion was terrifying.

"Min Bin, I wonder if your Hu family can bear the crime of deceiving the emperor?" The queen showed a determined smile and looked at Min Bin leisurely.

Min Bin was frightened. Even her father and sister Hu Yunrong didn't know this secret. She overheard it accidentally when she was a child. As the queen said, it was not a big deal. Her mother was taught by Yu Rongxian. The princess, considered her half daughter, usually claims to the outside world that she is of the blood of the eldest princess Rongxian. If the eldest princess does not come forward to deny it, the matter will be passed over vaguely.

When she was young, she only thought that this was a lie and that her background was not really that noble, but saying this in front of the emperor was different.

The crime of bullying the king will cost the whole family their heads!
It was only at this moment that Concubine Min realized belatedly that her entry into the palace and her favor were all based on "she is the blood of Princess Rongxian". If the foundation stone collapses, what she has now They no longer exist—let alone the Phoenix Seat.

"I've held something in my hands for a long time, even if it's not my own, I'll subconsciously think it's my own." The queen fiddled with the armor on her hand slowly, sighed, then looked at Concubine Min and said, "You both Noble Concubine Yirong is right, so why don't you go and ask her to see if she can save you?" After speaking, the Empress herself couldn't help laughing, "But I advise you, it's better not to ask."

"What's the meaning of your mother's words?" Min Pin gritted her teeth and asked.

"When Concubine Rong first entered the palace, it was just a small promise. Her father was only at the eighth rank, but now she has become a noble concubine with both children. The sky-high promotion is really amazing." The queen suddenly talked about An Lingrong, "Concubine Rong is full of scheming, city power, and methods. Her first principle is to be wise and protect herself. Thinking back then, even if she was the best My sister Concubine Wan is in trouble, she can stand by and watch, let alone you." She shook her head sympathetically, "If you don't believe me, you can go and ask, I can wait for you. "

The queen's words are already an olive branch to Concubine Min openly and openly. If she is willing to surrender, this matter will always be a secret. If she refuses to surrender, then this matter will be stabbed in front of the emperor. suffering.

As for Concubine Min, at this time, she was also forced to a corner where she had to surrender.

She bit her lower lip hard, almost oozing blood.Maybe the queen has been thinking about her from the very beginning, and she foolishly thought that she had disguised herself well.
