The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

"Slave Baijunyuan horse taming girl, Ye Lanyi, please greet the noble concubine." Ye Lanyi got off the horse and saluted An Lingrong stiffly, "I'm afraid the princess has come to the wrong place, the tamed horse They are all next door, and here are wild horses that have just been brought as tribute from the outside world and have not yet been tamed, which shocked the princess."

Ankang hid behind An Lingrong with some fear and nodded, knowing that he was in big trouble, he pursed his lips and said timidly: "Mother, it's not the fault of Lady Min and Lady Yu, it's Ankang who wants to ride this horse. of."

An Lingrong slowly came back to her senses, touched Ankang's face, and gently comforted her that she was fine. When she looked up, she saw Minbin fell to the side with bruises on her palms and arms, her hair was messed up, and her eyes were like a deer's. There was the same timidity as Ankang, and suddenly, no matter how angry he was, he dissipated.

She sighed and said: "I just fell from the horse. Fortunately, you hugged Ankang and he was not hurt. Go back quickly and let Dr. Zhou come over to take a look and don't leave any scars." An Lingrong raised his eyes. He signaled Lady Jade to help Concubine Min return to Xinghua Village.

Concubine Min endured the pain and leaned down to salute: "Thank you for your consideration, concubine. I will take my leave."

An Lingrongfu looked at Ye Lanyi again, his thoughts dazed for a moment.

An Lingrong didn't have a very deep impression of Ye Lanyi. He only knew that she suddenly appeared in the palace one day and would not smile when he saw anyone. However, the emperor liked her stinky face and loved her so much. Later, she was granted the title of Concubine Ning all the way, and she continued to be favored by her.

I don’t know if she will enter the palace in this life.

"Thank you for your help today. I would like to thank Miss Ye." An Lingrong smiled slowly and bowed his head slightly towards Ye Lanyi.

Ye Lanyi quickly avoided it and smiled brightly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite, I just happened to see you." She kept peeking at her health, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "My Majesty, the horse the princess was riding just now is The bloody horse that was just paid tribute from the Western Regions is the best horse in the Baijun Park now. The princess has such good taste."

Looking at Ye Lanyi with a bright and bright smile, An Lingrong's heart was slightly touched. It turned out that before she entered the palace, she would smile like this without any obstruction.

"Ankang is really amazing." An Lingrong stroked Ankang's croissant bun and praised her, then pinched her nose and said pretending to be angry, "I made a mistake today, and Erniang punished you to go back and write ten It’s a big word, do you accept the punishment?”

"Accept punishment, accept punishment. Ankang did something wrong." Ankang stood on tiptoes to free his nose, rubbed the tip of his nose, and pulled An Lingrong's thigh with a flattering look on his face, saying, "Mother, Ankang wants to see this first. Sister, can you train the horse?"

"Does Ankang like this horse so much?" The emperor's voice suddenly sounded from behind everyone.

An Lingrong turned around and saw the emperor stepping down from the sedan chair. He hurriedly bent over and saluted and said hello: "Bless your Majesty, may your Majesty be blessed with peace and blessings." The people around him knelt on the floor with cheers.

"Everyone, get up." The emperor stretched out his hand to help An Lingrong up as a habit, and raised his hand to let everyone get up. "I hurried over when I heard that Ankang fell from his horse. Are there any injuries?" He bent down and picked him up. Ankang, bumping in his arms.

"She was covered in ashes, but she was not hurt." An Lingrong patted Ankang's clothes with a handkerchief and said, "But Minbin was seriously injured. When Ankang fell, she rushed up to her. After hugging her, the skin on her arms and palms was scratched. I have asked her to go back to the imperial doctor. She is young, so don’t leave any scars."

The emperor pondered and nodded: "Then I will go see her later."

"Huang Ama, Huang Ama, Ankang wants to see this sister ride a big horse." Ankang wanted to watch Ye Lanyi tame the horse again, and said coquettishly, hugging the emperor's neck.

An Lingrong chuckled and looked at Ye Lanyi: "Miss Ye, may I interrupt you?"

"It doesn't matter. Your Majesty and Your Majesty can just sit on that corridor and watch, but don't go into the racecourse. It would be bad if you get hurt." Ye Lanyi smiled heartily and pointed to the corridor not far away.

An Lingrong walked to the corridor with the emperor. In the racecourse, Ye Lanyi got on the horse and pulled up the reins, causing the horse to neigh again. Then it started running in the arena. Ankang was holding on to the pillars and watching with great interest. The emperor burst into laughter.

"We Manchus have conquered the world on horseback. Although Ankang is small, he still has the blood of Manchus." The emperor looked at Ankang with admiration and love in his eyes. "When she grows older, I will personally teach her horseback riding and archery."

"I heard that the emperor's riding and archery was taught by Batulu, who was the best in Manchuria at that time. A strict teacher will produce a good disciple. Your Majesty, don't teach Ankang like Batulu taught you back then. I don't want to see Ankang crying every day. Come back." An Lingrong joked with a smile.

"No way!" Ankang turned around and retorted loudly, and said seriously with a raised face, "Ankang will definitely learn it quickly and won't give Huang Ama a chance to reprimand Ankang."

"Okay." The emperor agreed, smiling so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes.

"Call-"

Ye Lanyi was almost thrown off the horse. She was hanging upside down on the side of the horse. She exerted force on her feet. I don't know where she used her skill. As soon as she turned around, everyone was back on the horse. She leaned close to her and fell off during the rapid running. The headband and exotic veil fluttered into the dust, and the long hair fell down, raising an attractive arc in the wind. Coupled with her serious and focused eyebrows, even An Lingrong was attracted.

Seeing the emperor looking at Ye Lanyi without blinking, An Lingrong's heart suddenly sank. He interrupted the emperor's thoughts and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, have you thought about what to reward for tomorrow's dragon boat race?" Is it? The concubine Caitou has already been released. Other rewards can only be given by the emperor. The concubine does not have so many good things." "See how stingy you are." The emperor couldn't help but laugh, "In that case, the queen, Qi Concubine Hui, Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing each come out with a good thing to reward others. Tomorrow there will be a total of twelve teams. After the first round, the top six will all be rewarded. They will then compete to win the first prize and compete for the jackpot. As for dragon boat rowing For those who like you, just reward them with some gold and silver treasures."

An Lingrong counted the circles with his hands and sighed sadly: "Twelve teams, excluding the concubine and the empress, each of them has exactly one team. It's a pity that the concubine still wants to make a coincidence. Winning the jackpot back."

The fourth concubine, the third concubine, and three noble people, one is always there and the other agrees, there are exactly twelve people.

The emperor looked at her expression of pain and regret, couldn't help laughing, and made a few more jokes. Seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and left. Before leaving, he looked back at Ye Lan seemingly casually. Yi, seeing that the horse was almost tame, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Looking at the emperor's leaving figure, An Lingrong stood there with deep eyes for a long time, then turned back to look at Ye Lanyi in the racecourse, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

The more times like this come, the more powerless she feels. The big hand of fate is always there. No matter how hard she tries, things always quietly return to their original track - this is what An Lingrong has already done with Zhen Huan. Proven many times.

Ye Lanyi is going to enter the palace after all.

The dragon boat race started lively. There had never been such excitement in the palace. For a while, the back lake was surrounded by people. The servants in the Old Summer Palace who were not on duty today rushed over to join in the fun, while the emperor and the concubines took their seats. In the Kaiyuan Pavilion behind Jiuzhou Qingyan, you can have a panoramic view of Houhu Lake.

In the center of the pavilion, there is a nine-turn flying phoenix gold dotted emerald makeup box firmly placed. Just looking at it there makes people unable to take their eyes away. Next to it is a stack of twelve volumes of "A Dream in Red Mansions" "The only copy was the private collection of Concubine Duan. What Shen Meizhuang took out was a pair of jade tiger-ear and ten-thousand-character cups. They were exquisite and clear, and one could tell at a glance that they were of great value.

These three things immediately raised the level of this reward. This is not only a face, but also a benchmark for whether people can surrender in the palace in the future.

It didn't matter to the concubine, she was a low-key person, so she only came out with the black lacquer painted immortals birthday bell that the emperor had rewarded her in the early years. Although she was not as good as An Lingrong, Duan Concubine and Shen Meizhuang, it was still satisfactory.Concubine Qi was afraid of being embarrassed, so she emptied her private treasury and found a half-foot-high sapphire Guanyin bottle, which finally calmed the situation.

On the contrary, the queen became embarrassed. It was not that she didn't have good things, but she had always been frugal, so she followed suit and took out a treasure. If someone wanted to dig it out later, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?She thought again and again, then took out a small enamel dotted emerald rouge box, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is the new honey incense offered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs this year. The fragrance is long-lasting and lasts for a long time. , The concubine never likes to use incense, and there is nothing good to fill the scene, so I have to borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

The emperor nodded calmly and said nothing more.

The queen smiled, stood up and bowed: "It's just that what you sisters brought out are all treasures worth thousands of gold. I am really at a loss what to do with this hand. I want to ask for the emperor's favor." Seeing the emperor looking over, she sipped The corners of her lips pursed and she said with a smile, "If someone wins No.2 among the top six, the emperor will give her a promotion at his discretion, how about that?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was excited, especially the concubines Xin Guiren, Jin Guiren, Yu Guiren, Kang Changzai and Sun Yasheng, all of whom looked more or less sincere.

Fang Chunyi, Qi Bin and Zhen Bin are not obvious on their faces. Now that the fourth concubine is full, they have no place even if they want to be promoted. However, Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing and Concubine Shen Meizhuang know in their hearts that the Queen is taking advantage of this opportunity. When promoting someone, they were all silent. On the contrary, Concubine Qi was ready to take action and echoed the queen's voice.

With a smile in her eyes, An Lingrong looked around at the Queen and Jin Guiren. She felt relieved and held the corner of her mouth indifferently: "The Queen's move makes it seem that my concubine's things are not on the stage. If you don't If you dare to win the first prize, you should settle for second place." She looked at the emperor with a smile, "When I mentioned the dragon boat race for gambling that day, the queen was angry, but when it came to the end, it was the queen who was the most interested. Your Majesty, why not make it happen for once?"

When the queen heard that An Lingrong had volunteered to be ranked second, she felt proud for a moment, secretly thinking that she was quite a smart person, but she didn't expect that as soon as she turned around, she would complain to the emperor right under her nose, with a look on her face. Suddenly he froze and said with a smile: "Since it has been done, I don't want to ruin everyone's happiness, so I boldly proposed to the emperor. If the emperor doesn't agree, then that's it."

The emperor thought that the bet this time had already refuted the queen's face, and it seemed bad to refute her face again, so he nodded and agreed: "Then according to what the queen and the noble concubine said, whoever guesses the leader will be at my discretion. Jin Feng, the prizes for the second-placed ones are Noble Concubine, Duan Concubine, Qi Concubine, Hui Concubine, and Jing Concubine. Let’s pick a team.”

The emperor was relieved, the big furniture was very happy, and happily went to pick the team.

"Sister, don't you go and make a good choice?" An Lingrong looked at Shen Meizhuang, who was sitting An Ran, and asked with a smile, "Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing have both gone over to make a choice, sister, are you really willing to give up your own [-]-word cup? "

"It's just something outside of you, why wouldn't you want to part with it?" Shen Meizhuang said lightly, then asked, "Do you know who the queen wants to promote?"

"It's obvious, why do you ask me more, sister?" An Lingrong lowered his voice and chuckled, turning his eyes towards Jin Guiren, who was standing awkwardly behind the crowd, "Her identity is embarrassing, and it would be difficult for her to be granted the title of Jin. It’s hard for the Queen to think of such a way to win over her. If she is promoted as the head of the first palace, I’m afraid she will follow the Queen wholeheartedly.”

Shen Meizhuang lowered his eyes and sighed softly: "You are so sharp now, I am afraid that the Queen will be extremely jealous, and I am worried that she will do everything possible to win over Jin Gui, just to deal with you later."

An Lingrong patted Shen Meizhuang's hand and smiled firmly and confidently: "It's okay, we're not afraid of her."

The drums beat and rumble, and the first round of competition quickly begins.

Inspiration is exhausted, so painful...
