The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

Chapter 17.choose
An Lingrong and Cao Guiren walked to the gate of Jingren Palace together, and saw Concubine Li coming out of it.

"Hey, why did Rong Chang come out for a walk today?" Concubine Li looked at An Lingrong, and said in a low voice, "The empress is not feeling well, so she said she doesn't need to greet her, and you two don't need to go in."

Cao Guiren nodded, and was about to go with Concubine Li, but she heard Concubine Li say again: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm planning to go to Yikun Palace right now, why don't we go to Concubine Hua together?" sit there?"

An Lingrong took two steps back calmly, and said softly: "The empress is sympathetic, so I won't wait for you to pay her respects, but my concubine admires the empress in her heart, so naturally she wants to greet her, even if she is knocking far outside the hall. The size is also good. In Yikun Palace, concubines will not go, thank you, Empress Li, for your kindness."

With these words, Li Pin and Cao Guiren's expressions changed.

After a long stalemate, it was Cao Guiren who came out with a dry smile to smooth things over: "Your sister is right, the empress is the lord of the six palaces, so naturally everyone admires her."

An Lingrong lowered his head, bowed to Concubine Li to salute and leave, then turned around and walked into the main hall of Jingren Palace.

Li Pin stood at the door, stared at her back and snorted forcefully, then walked away without looking back.

This was a step that An Lingrong took after thinking about it for a few days.

In the long run, neither the concubine Hua nor the queen can be relied on, but in the near future, if you temporarily join the queen's camp, you can use your hands to unplug Concubine Hua's power first, so that you can have more room to play in the future.

An Lingrong raised his eyes and looked at the plaque above Jingren Palace with a firm gaze.

According to the layout of the previous life, Zhen Huan was also attracted by the queen in the early stage, and became a great help to bring down Concubine Hua.But at that time, she was just a sharp knife in the queen's hand, and the real drawing of the sword began after she returned to the palace from Ganlu Temple.Zhen Huan is too smart, and when she shows her sharpness, she counts everyone among them. For such a person, An Lingrong can only do his best to become a person who stands side by side with her, instead of dreaming of taking her under his command.

Zhen Huan is destined to soar above the nine heavens.

And she just wanted to live a good life.

"Master Rong, the empress invites you in." Jian Qiu came to invite An Lingrong in a gentle voice, and said with a smile, "The empress was not feeling well today, but she was going to rest after seeing Mrs. Guan. I heard that The young master is here, and I am very happy, and I have to get up to see the young master." She was smiling, and she spoke as if An Lingrong held a heavy weight in the queen's heart.

An Lingrong followed her words and flattered: "The concubine has never visited the empress alone since she entered the palace. Firstly, it is because the concubine has been ill intermittently, and she is afraid that the empress will be angry if she gets sick. Second... "She hesitated for a moment, with a bit of embarrassment on her face, "I think the empress knows it too. Earlier, the concubine was held in the hands of the concubine Hua, and she never allowed the concubine to come to see the empress. Even if you want to, you can’t come.”

"My little master is really suffering." Jian Qiu looked at An Lingrong sympathetically, and while comforting her, he also secretly raised the empress, "The empress is kind and kind, she manages a huge harem with all her heart and is meticulous, but the empress If you are not in good health, there will always be times when you can’t take care of it. It’s not too late for the young master to see the situation clearly after going through the experience.”

"Exactly." An Lingrong smiled, with a look of innocence on his face, "The concubine always thinks that the empress is the pillar of the six palaces, no matter how noble the concubine Hua is, she will always be inferior to the empress. The concubine's father also had wives and concubines in groups, but there is one thing that the concubine knows," she crossed Jianqiu and looked at the inner hall, "there will always be only one official wife, and the rest can only be concubines."

She and Jianqiu are so polite, naturally she is not looking at Jianqiu's face, but caring about the queen inside, every word seems to be said to Jianqiu, but in fact, she is speaking to the queen.

In the previous life, An Lingrong had been careful in the Queen's hands for so many years, and she had already figured out the Queen's preferences clearly. She naturally knew what she liked to hear and what she didn't like to hear. It was her best skill to match what she liked. done.

Sure enough, when the voice fell to the ground, the queen's laughter came from inside, she walked out slowly holding Huichun's hand, the corners of her mouth curled up, and the corners of her eyes and brows stretched.

An Lingrong knew that it was only when the queen was in a good mood.

She knelt down feebly: "The concubine sees the empress empress, and the empress is blessed and safe."

"Get up." The queen sat upright on the first seat, and raised her hand to offer the seat, "I just met Mrs. Guan, and now you are here. You really are living in Suiyuxuan together, so you have a good understanding." She Looking at An Lingrong with satisfaction, there was a bit of satisfaction in his eyes, "I noticed you when the palace was in the audience. Xia promised that etiquette was not up to the mark. If you hadn't helped her, she would have died that day." It was a big joke. I knew at that time that you were a kind-hearted child."

An Lingrong was startled, but she didn't expect the queen to even notice this.After thinking about it, he glanced at Huichun who was standing under Jianqiu, and suddenly understood.

As the queen's right-hand man, Jianqiu is the most powerful one, while Huichun is like Jianqiu's shadow, never very conspicuous, but always helps the queen to watch everything in the dark, and his delicate thoughts are still above Jianqiu.I'm afraid she noticed what happened that day, and reported it to the queen later.

Thinking about it this way, An Lingrong smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, pay attention to everything, and your concubines are obedient. I heard that Xia promised to study the palace rules hard recently, which really bothered the Empress. Willing to put in all this effort, after all, it is the empress who cares about the overall situation." Although no names were mentioned, those who can understand will naturally understand.

"Everyone says you speak nicely. When I heard it today, I really liked it." The Queen's smile deepened, but she also had the intention of provoking, "Now you and Mrs. Guan are living in Suiyuxuan. She just Cheng Chong, the emperor will inevitably like her more, so don't take it to heart. The important thing is, get back to your body quickly, I see that you are still weak." Then she looked at Jianqiu again, "Go to the warehouse to pick some warmth. Ask Rong Changzai to bring back the medicinal herbs for tonic."

Jian Qiu leaned over and should be.

"Your Majesty cares about everything, but it makes my concubines feel ashamed." An Lingrong lowered his eyes. If he had been in the previous life, he would have felt uncomfortable by now.

"When I have free time in the future, I will come to Jingren Palace more often. There are not so many rules in this palace, let alone people standing on the porch with a basin in winter to set up rules. My sister can just come over for tea, don't be restrained." The queen pointed out with a smile.

An Lingrong smiled delicately, "Yes."

After a few rounds of bureaucratic talk, the goal was achieved, and An Lingrong left Jingren Palace with dill.

"Your Majesty, Rong Changzai used to be Concubine Hua's." Jian Qiu said with some concerns while serving tea to the Queen.

The queen raised the corners of her mouth in a clear way, and smiled disdainfully: "With Concubine Hua's character, Cao Guiren and Li Concubine can stay by her side, and Rong Chang is kicked out by her when such a doughy person gets three points of favor. What kind of atmosphere can she have if she goes out." She breathed a long sigh of relief, "In this palace, it seems that Concubine Hua is a high-ranking and powerful concubine, but in the end, this palace is the queen, she? She is just a concubine. If you can see it clearly, you will naturally know what it means for a good bird to choose a tree to live in."

Jian Qiu nodded.

On the other side, when Concubine Hua learned that An Lingrong had taken refuge in the queen, she was so angry that she smashed the teacup in her hand.

"This palace has never seen such a ignorant person!" Concubine Hua's eyes were full of anger, she felt that An Lingrong was overwhelmed by the queen, and she was in a bad mood because Zhen Huan was too favored, so she directly threw These two counted as one, "Let's wait and see, these two from Suiyuxuan, let's see which one I can spare!"

Cao Gui was worried, and in order to protect herself, she had no choice but to turn to Concubine Hua. Even though she knew that as long as An Lingrong was given time, she would definitely grow into an unshakable existence for Concubine Hua, but in front of her, she had no choice but to face Concubine Hua. The concubine is like hitting a stone with an egg, and she is totally vulnerable.

Concubine Li also chimed in from the sidelines: "Madam, there is another nobleman Shen. She and Zhen Huan are very good friends. Maybe the three of them have already hugged each other behind their backs." If you are a nobleman, you will clearly plan to attack my palace people, and you are not sure what will happen in the future!"

Concubine Hua lost her temper, but calmed down a little now: "I can't control my servants, and I can't blame others." She suppressed her anger and tried to adjust her appearance, "I see you are so anxious Temper, when can you change it, you have to be a little calm like Cao Gui."

Cao Guiren listened, and reluctantly pulled the corner of her mouth. She looked down at Wen Yi to avoid Concubine Hua's gaze.

Concubine Li didn't understand what Concubine Hua meant, she turned her head and glanced at Cao Guiren, then turned and sat down: "Concubine can't rub the sand in her eyes."

Concubine Hua slowly got up and walked to Cao Guiren's side, raised her hand to gently caress Wen Yi's face, her eyes were inexplicably ruthless: "The emperor spoils her, she will inevitably lose her sense of proportion, and the queen will not like it if she loses her sense of proportion." After all, as if to prove the credibility of his own words, he added another sentence, "Mr. Yu is an example."

"Your Majesty Guan is quite timid, she is afraid of her sister, and she will let her!" Cao Guiren said hastily.

Concubine Hua smiled faintly, and deliberately said: "She didn't lose her composure, you are so angry, you have lost your sense of proportion!" Seeing Concubine Li's ugly face, she immediately felt better, "Isn't it just that you have just been favored?" ?"

Unexpectedly, with just such a sentence, Concubine Li was on fire: "Just accepted the favor? The emperor even bestowed the favor of the Jiaofang. Isn't this an example compared to the empress?"

Concubine Hua immediately put away her smile.

Concubine Li didn't notice it at all, and continued to say to herself: "The emperor has been diligent in going to the harem this month, but ten or eight times he was accompanied by the nobleman, even if it's just sitting and talking, the emperor is also happy." find her..."

If you can't talk, don't talk.

Cao Guiren looked at Concubine Hua's ugly face that was dripping with ink, and cursed Concubine Li bitterly in her heart. In the end, it was her who came to end it and coax her, and nothing else would cause her troubles.

"Will you become dumb if you don't speak?" Concubine Hua was really furious, her eyes were cold, even more terrifying than the emotion she showed just now.

Concubine Li flinched when she met Concubine Hua's eyes, and closed her mouth.

Cao Guiren sighed, and had no choice but to say: "My lady, don't be angry. As the saying goes, a good dog will bite, and a dog that bites will not bark." She turned Concubine Hua's attention to herself, saying that she was Her dog that can bite people, Li Pin is just bluffing, it can't be used, and there is no need to get angry because of her.

One is to appease Concubine Hua's anger, and second, Cao Guiren is also expressing his position.

With An Lingrong, Concubine Hua must be even harsher on her subordinates Cao Guiren and Li Concubine. Cao Guiren immediately flattered her with a lowly nickname, showing that she was still her subordinate's "dog", so as to win leniency.

Cao Guiren resisted the embarrassment in his heart, and looked down at Wen Yi.

For Wen Yi's sake, it doesn't matter if she is a dog under Concubine Hua's feet.

Of course, Cao Guiren is also reminding Concubine Hua that instead of scolding Concubine Li here, it is better to think about how to break the small group of three people. An Lingrong, Zhen Huan, and Shen Meizhuang all seem to be gentle and polite. In fact, all of them are "don't bark" dogs, and that's what Concubine Hua should care about now.

Concubine Hua thought about it, her expression changed several times.

Let's talk about the favorite of the pepper room.

Zhen Huan had already returned to the palace at this moment, overjoyed at the brand-new Suiyu Pavilion, walked slowly into the main hall, looked at the red silk and satin all over the palace, with tears in her eyes, and was carried by everyone to the bed again, Turning over the quilt, revealing the early-born precious son underneath, the eye circles were flushed with emotion: "The emperor actually takes my words to heart like this."

It's a thank you.

Liu Zhu beside him was incoherent with joy: "That's great, my lord, now master and madam can finally feel at ease."

Huanbi also followed up and said: "Based on the current situation, the emperor cares about the young master very much! After suffering for more than half a year, we should rest assured, but..." She paused, "Young master, you must be careful. Take care that Rong is always there, she is not a law-abiding person, but don't let her meet the emperor with the favor of the young master."

Zhen Huan paused, and looked at Huanbi with dissatisfaction: "Huanbi, Sister Rong is a concubine. There is nothing wrong with her begging the emperor for favor. Don't say that again."

Huanbi choked, as if Zhen Huan had seen through her mind, glanced guiltily, and then explained: "The servant is afraid that the young master will be used as a springboard by others."

"Whether it should be a springboard or not, I know best in my heart." Zhen Huan dropped the early-born baby in her hand, looked at everything around her, somehow, the heat in her heart was extinguished inch by inch.
