The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

Chapter 16.ally

A trace of resentment flashed across Xia Dongchun's eyes.She resented Concubine Hua, and the Queen even more, but she couldn't say anything. The Auntie Xi the Queen hired was much stricter than the Auntie Xi when she was at home, and if she made a mistake, she would be punished. After a few months, she first started The arrogance when entering the palace was completely wiped out.

Hearing An Lingrong ask her like this, Xia Dongchun suddenly felt aggrieved, but held back forcefully: "Thank you Rong Chang for caring. Everything is fine with the concubine, but when she first entered the palace, she was ignorant and made a lot of jokes."

An Lingrong's eyes were soft, he got up and slowly took her hand, and said: "When you first entered the palace, everyone was ignorant. Between Concubine Hua and Empress Hua, it was just pushed out as a shield, otherwise, with your temperament and appearance, how could you not be as good as Shen Meizhuang and the others."

Xia Dongchun burst into tears, and couldn't stop sobbing, she really felt that An Lingrong's words had penetrated into her heart.

"I know, the general of the Xia family, you have three older brothers in a row, all brave, you are the youngest daughter, you must have been raised by General Xia in the palm of your hand, you have been pampered since you were a child, and you have been deliberately used by others after entering the palace. This appearance really wronged you." An Lingrong's voice was soft and bewildered, like a murmur to lull him to sleep, his voice penetrated into Xia Dongchun's heart, "We are newcomers to the palace. Shen Guiren has been friends since childhood, no one can get in, Fucha nobleman has a prominent family background, so he may not look up to us, and Chun Changzai... is young, the only ones left are you and me."

After Xia Dongchun cried for a while, she felt much more relieved. Hearing what An Lingrong said, every word and every word was considered for her, and her heart suddenly turned to her.

At any rate, she had heard a lot in front of the queen, and she still couldn't understand An Lingrong's meaning, so she hurried back to hold An Lingrong's hand, and said in a hurry: "If Rong Changzai doesn't despise me, I will take care of myself." follow."

"Okay." An Lingrong showed a smile, stretched out his hand to gently brush Xia Dongchun's face, and wiped away her tears, "You are in a difficult situation right now, you need to wait for the opportunity. When summer comes, we will have a chance."

"It's summer?" Xia Dongchun was puzzled.

An Lingrong smiled and did not answer directly, but asked her: "Can you ride a horse?"

Xia Dongchun showed a confident smile: "I have been trained by my father since I was a child, and I am very good at riding!"

"Then do you know that Concubine Hua was favored by the emperor when she first entered the palace, one of the reasons was that she was good at riding. When the late emperor held the Mulan autumn hunting, Concubine Hua could always overwhelm the queen and stay beside the emperor, pampering her alone " An Lingrong talked about the past, "You and Concubine Hua are both from the general family, and you are both bright and cheerful. You can't learn those pettiness, you should use your strengths."

Xia Dongchun's eyes flickered, as if he had finally found his way.

An Lingrong didn't make a sound, just looked at her quietly.

After a long time, Xia Dongchun clenched his fists and looked at An Lingrong as if he had made up his mind: "I'll listen to you."

"Okay." An Lingrong nodded, "Seeing that summer is only three or four months away, you must take good care of yourself during this time, so don't be so haggard by then."

To be honest, being able to be selected by the emperor at a glance during the draft shows that Xia Dongchun's looks are not bad, his facial features are magnificent and bright, and his style is similar to that of Concubine Hua, but his personality is too flamboyant, and he forcibly overwhelms this beauty A discount—don't look at Concubine Hua being domineering, she has behaved well in front of the emperor, and this is where Xia Dongchun suffers.

It was already late at night when Xia Dongchun was sent off, An Lingrong returned to the dormitory and squinted for a while.

After lying down for a while, I heard a commotion outside. Eunuch Huang from the House of Internal Affairs led a group of people into the Suiyu Pavilion in a hurry, and congratulated while apologizing: "Eunuch Su, who is beside the emperor, asked people to come here before dawn." Spread the word that the little ones should hurry up and tidy up the dormitories of the nobles in Guan, and they should be arranged in accordance with the festive customs of folk weddings."

Huanbi and Liuzhu showed joy at the same time, and quickly asked Eunuch Huang to lead them into the main hall.

After a lot of pounding, An Lingrong couldn't fall asleep anymore, so he got up and turned on the lamp to read a book.

In her new life, she knows that being uneducated is easy to suffer in this harem. Even if she can barely read a few words, if she doesn't know more, she will gradually be unable to carry on in the future, so she spends her free time besides embroidery. When I was young, I was reading. Now I have finished reading the Three Character Classic and the Hundred Family Names, and I am reading the Book of Songs recently.

Huanbi's voice came in shrilly from outside: "The folks spread the tents, they use plump and round fruits, but those that are a little shriveled are useless, pick them up and throw them away! Oh, the quilts are stacked carefully. , don't leave it indiscriminately..." The nagging was endless.

Dill took the clothes and put them on An Lingrong: "But you are arguing with the young master? The slaves go and tell them to move softly."

"No, I feel much better already." An Lingrong waved his hand, signaling that Dill doesn't need to wear it, "I originally planned to meet the queen today, it's better to get up early than late, anyway, I can't sleep anymore."

Dill looked out of the window, and was a little worried: "Your maidservant is watching, Guan Guiren's posture of being favored is incredible. I don't know how Concubine Hua keeps her grudges in her heart. The young master only got a title that day, and he offended Concubine Hua. Being so unhappy, I forced you to be kicked out of Qixiang Palace. The nobleman Wan is even more favored than you were at that time, I'm afraid..."

An Lingrong put down the book in his hand and said, "Tonight, many people probably didn't sleep well." Even Shen Meizhuang did the same. In his previous life, he came to her with dark circles under his eyes.

No matter how much the sisters love each other, I'm afraid there is something wrong with them.

Seeing that it was dawn, An Lingrong packed up and was about to go out. As soon as he looked up, he met Huanbi calling someone to paint the pepper wall. When he met her, he didn't salute. Yunzi: "The pepper wall is still half painted, the young master is coming back soon, you hurry to stop the young master, walk around the imperial garden, come back later, so that we can prepare better. "

Xiao Yunzi let out a hey and ran out hastily.

Dill was a little angry, but An Lingrong patted her arm lightly, and the master and servant walked out of Suiyuxuan in silence.

Behind him, Liuzhu felt a little sorry, and pulled Huanbi to say a few words, but Huanbi turned her head away.

Xiao Yunzi moved fast and hurried to Zhen Huan before she left Jingren Palace. When she saw her coming out, she jumped to her side, which startled Zhen Huan and Cui Jinxi.

Cui Jinxi was puzzled: "Xiao Yunzi, you are not staying in the palace at this hour, what are you doing here?"

Without further ado, Xiao Yunzi saluted first, "The slave first congratulates the young master."

Cui Jinxi scolded with a smile: "Monkey boy, you came all the way to please me, and you will be indispensable when you go back."

"Auntie has wrongly blamed me this time, the slave is here by order, please don't go back to the palace for the time being, my lord." Xiao Yunzi said.

"Why is that?" Zhen Huan was a little surprised.

Xiao Yunzi intentionally did not say the reason, but only led Zhen Huan to the Imperial Garden: "My lord, don't ask, please go to the Imperial Garden to relax."

Although Zhen Huan was puzzled, she was in the bed for the first time and was praised by the queen, so she was in a good mood. Seeing that Xiao Yunzi didn't look like she was hiding something bad, she also followed his wishes and went all the way to the imperial garden.

It just so happened that after they left, Concubine Li and Concubine Cao came to pay their respects to the queen. Kang Luhai, who was following Concubine Li, excused his stomach discomfort, and followed Zhen Huan's footsteps and ran towards the Imperial Garden.

Cao Guiren knew what he was up to at a glance, and reminded Concubine Li: "Although Kang Luhai has followed his sister, this sneaky problem has not changed at all." Seeing that Concubine Li didn't hear With the implication, Fu said, "Sister is kind, if it were me, I would never dare to use this thing that betrayed the old owner."

Only then did Concubine Li realize that something was wrong, she turned her head and glanced at Kang Luhai's figure running away in a hurry, and immediately led others to follow.

In the imperial garden, all kinds of flowers bloomed one after another, An Lingrong walked slowly holding Dill's hand, it was still early, and she was not in a hurry, but she saw a familiar figure running past the gravel road in the distance , slightly identified it: "Dill, is that Eunuch Kang next to Lipin?"

Dill also took a look and nodded: "Really, the young master has really good eyesight."

Eunuch Kang was the chief eunuch who used to be next to Zhen Huan. He begged Concubine Li at the end of the year and wanted to work as an errand in Qixiang Palace. Liu said hello and said that there was something to do, even though he ordered them to do it.A good chief eunuch is not as good as a little eunuch.

An Lingrong's eyeballs rolled slightly, and she hid behind the peach blossom tree with dill, her intuition told her that there might be a good show to watch later.

Sure enough, Kang Luhai caught up with Zhen Huan, stopped her, and smiled flatteringly: "The servant sees the nobleman, and the nobleman is blessed and safe."

Zhen Huan glanced at Cui Jinxi, her expression changed instantly, and her tone was flat, as if reminding Cui Jinxi of such a person, and as if telling herself who this person was: "It's Kang Luhai."

"Young Master still remembers the servant!" Kang Luhai suddenly burst into laughter, and hurriedly nodded and bowed.

"Eunuch Kang is so early, why didn't you follow Madam Li?" Zhen Huan distanced herself from him.

Kang Luhai suddenly smiled, and said with force: "Miss Li Concubine and Cao Guiren have gone to pay their respects to Empress Empress. This servant knows that the young master will pass by the Imperial Garden when he returns to the palace, so he is waiting here."

What I said was very clear, but Zhen Huan just pretended not to understand: "Is there something you need to explain to your concubine Li?"

Kang Luhai smiled awkwardly: "No, it's not about the concubine Li's business, yes, it's the slave who wants to ask the young master for something in his heart..." He thought about how to say it, "The slave heard that the young master was promoted to the imperial court. As a nobleman, I only want to say hello to the young master, but there is no way, there are too many errands, and the emperor issued an order not to disturb the young master's rest. I am looking forward to the stars and the moon, so longing that my neck has grown. My lord, please be at ease, your heart is at ease, isn't it..."

The more he spoke, the smoother he was, he was about to cry himself, and he didn't see Zhen Huan being moved at all, and he felt a little anxious in his heart, trying to say something, but seeing that Zhen Huan was getting impatient, she quickly let go of her thoughts Say it out: "If you don't think the slave is stupid, as long as you say a word, the slave is willing to serve the little master, and he will die."

Kang Luhai spoke earnestly, but Zhen Huan couldn't believe it. At the beginning, he said that he would leave Suiyuxuan, and it would be impossible to come back.

An Lingrong stood at the back, watching that Concubine Li and Cao Guiren had already appeared at the corner with their people, and then hid himself, but he did not hide well, which attracted Cao Guiren's attention.She didn't panic, and smiled at her quietly.

Cao Guiren was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his eyes and smiled, then looked away as if he didn't see her.

Here, Concubine Li couldn't listen anymore, and walked forward angrily: "Okay, so you pretended to have a stomachache and ran out sneakily, just to meet the old master?!"

Kang Luhai was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.

When Zhen Huan greeted the two of them, there was no sign of panic.

Concubine Li snorted coldly: "Your Majesty Guan still knows how to salute, so you should know your identity. I heard that the emperor sent a lot of palace people to the nobleman's palace recently. Why, nobleman Wan doesn't have enough servants to do his best?" ? To think highly of this useless servant beside Bengong."

Concubine Li's eyes were fierce, watching Kang Luhai's two sides fighting, she couldn't stop swallowing.

"That's too much to say. Thanks to Sister Lipin's perseverance, she summoned Kang Luhai to serve her. Since she is already her sister's servant, there is no reason for me to take it at will." Zhen Huan refused to say anything. If you want Kang Luhai, you will leave after a few polite words.

Concubine Li sneered twice, and complimented Zhen Huan politely.Cui Liu beside her looked at Li Pin's expression, scolded Kang Luhai and punished him with slaps.

There was a sound of applause, which slowly calmed Concubine Li's anger, and Cao Guiren persuaded her a few more times, and Concubine Li said a few more eccentric words before leaving.

Cao Guiren did not follow her anymore, after saying goodbye to Zhen Huan, he turned a corner and walked up to An Lingrong, and said with a smile, "Sister Rong is recovering?"

An Lingrong saluted her with a smile: "Sister Lao Cao misses you, my sister is almost on the mend."

"I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and my sister also misses you very much." Cao Guiren took An Lingrong's hand, with a look of intimacy on his face, "Wen Yi likes the puppet you gave me earlier, I'm free, come to my sister again Sit in the palace."

An Lingrong's eyes flashed, then he nodded with a smile: "Okay."
