The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

"Now that I have time to curse, I might as well drink a few more bowls of brown rice and coix seed soup to cure my nightmare." Zhen Huan's voice contained a somewhat mocking smile, and then her footsteps gradually walked away.

Qi Bin was so frightened that her face turned pale, she covered her mouth tightly and stood there without daring to move.

An Lingrong narrowed his eyes and smiled sarcastically: "Honghao, this kind of person is called bullying and fearing the strong. He is a stern-faced idiot and must not be associated with him. Remember?"

"Yeah." Seventh Brother nodded.

After turning this corner, the view suddenly became clearer. An Lingrong walked to the fork in the road with a smile on his face, and bumped into Zhen Huan Shen Meizhuang: "Concubine Xi has such great official power, I admire her."

"The Imperial Concubine, Jin An." Zhen Huan bowed lightly, with a smile on her face, "The Imperial Concubine is joking."

"The weather is nice today. I made an appointment with Concubine Jing to go to Qianli Pond. Brother Si is also there. Why don't Sister Mei go and call Long Yue? It's rare for the children to get together." An Lingrong looked back at Shen Meizhuang and smiled. said.

When Shen Meizhuang saw An Lingrong holding his seventh brother, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes. Dill sent someone to tell her this morning that An Lingrong was showing signs of recovery. She still didn't believe it and wanted to go to Weiyang Palace to see it in person later. , now that I have seen An Lingrong and Seventh Brother getting along with my own eyes, I believe it.Her brows were filled with joy: "Okay, then you and Huan'er go first, and I'll be back right away." After that, she hurried away.

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan went to Qianli Pond first. Concubine Jing had already arrived. When the sixth elder brother saw An Lingrong, he hurried over to say hello.

"Brother Six is ​​getting stronger and stronger. Concubine Rong can hardly hold him anymore." An Lingrong put down Brother Seven, stretched out his hand to weigh Brother Six, and touched his head with a smile.

Satisfied, the sixth elder brother took the seventh elder brother and ran to feed the koi.

Zhen Huan glanced at Si Age who was eager to try, and nodded to him: "You haven't been back in the palace for a long time. It's a rare opportunity to get together with your brothers. Go play and watch your brothers."

The fourth elder brother looked delighted: "Yes." He has been raised in the Old Summer Palace since he could remember. He has known since he was a child that he and the third elder brother raised in the palace are different. This idea becomes more and more important as he grows older. It was highlighted that even though he now lives in the palace and has a new mother-in-law, the lack in his heart still cannot be filled.

When the weak and little Seventh Brother and the ignorant and immature Sixth Brother looked up at him, they all hit his heart.

These are his brothers.

My brother who is connected by blood.

"Qi Concubine is a brainless person, so it's just right to use her to pave the way." Zhen Huan and An Lingrong sat down at the prepared round table, looked at the three children from a distance, and after rejecting the waiters, she said, "Thank you for your noble character. She is not bad in nature and is a useful person. As for whether she is useful or not, it all depends on how weak she is at overthrowing Qi Bin this time."

"Sister, have you already got a countermeasure?" An Lingrong was a little surprised.It had only been four days since Zhen Huan returned to the palace, and she was already preparing to operate on Qi Bin, which was too fast.

"I don't intend to overthrow her over such a trivial matter, but I just want to make her suffer a little." Zhen Huan smiled and shook her fan and said, "She must have a grudge about today's brown rice and barley soup. Just use this to make her It’s no big deal if you stumble.”

An Lingrong raised the tea cup and saluted: "Then I wish my sister immediate success." Then she said, "However, Qi's concubine's matter is secondary. What's important is my sister's dragon fetus." She lowered her eyes and looked at Zhen Huan's. Belly, "The further you go in your pregnancy, the faster your belly will grow. It changes every day. Sister, have you thought of a countermeasure?"

"Wen Shichu said that my pregnancy might be twins." Zhen Huan touched her belly and sighed softly, "I hope I can use this to get over it."

An Lingrong's eyes flickered slightly and she whispered: "Sister, you have to seize the opportunity first. Only when the hilt of the knife is held in her hand, the tip of the knife will not pierce her." She stared at Zhen Huan's face. Eyes, he said slowly, "Rumors in the palace always kill people invisible."

"You mean, actively spreading rumors to confuse the public?" An idea flashed in Zhen Huan's mind, and she suddenly smiled, "The Queen will definitely spare no effort to throw dirty water on me, so I will endure it until the day it comes to fruition. Let’s see what the queen’s reaction will be.”

An Lingrong smiled clearly: "I'm afraid she never could have guessed that my sister's pregnancy would be two children." Then she frowned again, showing a somewhat worried look, "But, I heard that most twins are born prematurely, and my sister If you want to hide it completely, you have to carry it to full term, but you can't raise the child too big, otherwise it will be bad if it doesn't survive."

Zhen Huan glanced at Da Kao and said: " Da Kao should have a lot of ancient folk prescriptions in her hands, right? If I can't hold on at the critical moment, can you let her prepare a medicine for me? I estimate that it will be safe after full term. It’s going to be a lot harder with the fetus.”

An Lingrong thought for a long time, then waved Daukou over and asked him in detail.

"My slave can prepare a medicine to protect the mother's pregnancy for one month." Daukou agreed without saying a word, "However, this medicine will cause some damage to the mother's body. After using it, the mother will need to take good care of herself for two or three years. Unless it’s an emergency, I still don’t recommend you use this medicine.”

"As long as you have it." Zhen Huan calmed down and smiled slowly, "Don't worry, I understand the importance of this."

"You two hit it off, I just walked away for a while, and we got along like that." Shen Meizhuang led Long Yue from a distance and walked up to the two of them with a smile.

An Lingrong glanced at Zhen Huan and smiled at her: "Yes, my sister and I hit it off right away." On this day, An Lingrong was reading the "Three Character Classic" to the seventh elder brother, and his soft tone was very much like before going to bed. The nursery rhyme was sung lightly, and the seventh prince lay on her lap, listening to it and fell asleep.

When Daukou came in, Ju Qing was holding Brother Seventh and preparing to go back to the dormitory to sleep.

"What's wrong?" An Lingrong closed the book and asked.

"Empress, Qi concubine has been demoted to a noble person." Daukou took two steps forward and said.

An Lingrong raised his eyebrows in surprise: "So fast? Let me tell you in detail."

"After Concubine Qi was caught and wrongly punished by Concubine Xi a few days ago, the emperor rarely saw her. She used the excuse that she was unhappy and asked someone to invite the emperor." Dou Kao started from the beginning, "At that time The emperor was having lunch with Concubine Xi and did not want to go. However, Concubine Xi said that although Qi Concubine had a strong temper, she would not complain of illness easily, so she coaxed the emperor to go to Chuxiu Palace. As soon as he got there, he saw Qi Concubine was scolding and whipping the palace servants, but she was still beating Pei'er who was next to Xingui Ren. The emperor asked what was going on, but Qi Concubine hesitated and refused to say anything, so Xin Gui Ren stood aside and spoke for her."

Hearing this, Dill sneered: "How can Qi concubine dare to say that? She is not sick at all, she is just pretending to lure the emperor to see her. In the worst case, it is deceiving the emperor."

"Yes, that's why Qi Concubine didn't dare to say it." Daukou nodded and continued, "When Mr. Xin Gui said it, he specifically mentioned that Pei'er had been a maid serving Concubine Xi, in order to prove that Concubine Qi hated Concubine Xi. Your Majesty He became angry and scolded the concubine Qi for being disrespectful to the palace people, committing the three major crimes of being disrespectful to her superiors, and being disrespectful to her superiors. She was demoted to a nobleman and moved to Jiaolu Pavilion to think about her mistakes behind closed doors."

"This is really a good show." An Lingrong laughed twice after hearing this, "I have to go and greet the queen, otherwise I won't see her deflated expression." She took a sip of tea and raised her eyes. Looking at Dill, "Go ahead and let everyone discuss that the fetus in Concubine Xi's belly may not be the emperor's biological child. It looks like her belly is much larger than that of ordinary women. Remember, you must spread the word to the queen's ears." .”

This dangerous recruitment strategy was triggered by the incident between Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu. Sometimes, the most dangerous thing is the safest.

The next day to greet her, the queen sat on the throne with a cold face and said in a deep voice: "The royal family attaches great importance to the emperor's heirs. You must take this as a warning when it comes to noble Qi. Don't follow in her footsteps." She looked at Zhen Huan and said, "Concubine Xi, you are pregnant. It is better to skip the recent greetings and stay in Yongshou Palace to take good care of the fetus."

"Thank you very much for your concern, the Queen. I am fine with everything." Zhen Huan acted humbly and respectfully, with a faint smile on her face. "The Queen is the Lord of the Central Palace, how can I not come to pay my respects?"

An Lingrong on the side also said with a smile: "I have been ill for a long time. I haven't seen the Queen for a long time. I miss you so much. The Queen is in charge of the Sixth Palace, and the trivial matters are complicated. She looks a lot haggard. Aunt Jianqiu must be there." Please take care of yourself and give me some good care."

"It's been a long time since I last saw your concubine." The queen's eyebrows were twitching, and she felt like she was going to have a headache in the next second. "Concubine Xi has just returned to the palace, and her illness has healed. It's really gratifying."

Next to the seat, An Lingrong sits first on the left. She is dressed in a smoky purple Shu brocade cloak with large pink hibiscus embroidered with gold and silver threads. She is restrained and luxurious. Her head is full of pearls and emeralds, simple and elegant, and her low eyebrows are full of smiles. gentle.Sitting first on the right is Zhen Huan. Her red lips are like flames, which makes her face so beautiful. A yellow wrought butterfly dress with hundreds of flowers cannot suppress her beauty. When she raises her eyes and looks over, there is something in her eyes that cannot be hidden. sharp.

One on the left and one on the right, wearing light makeup and heavy makeup, were like two big mountains, pressing down on the queen with nowhere to escape.

The queen looked up and suddenly realized that the current situation was particularly unfavorable to her. In just a few months, she had lost four chess pieces: Concubine Qi, Concubine Min, Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Qi. Concubine Qi was okay, but she was only demoted. They were just nobles, but the other three died one after another - the queen's heart suddenly thumped, her eyes fell on An Lingrong's smiling face, and cold sweat ran down her back.

Concubine Rong is not sick at all!
The queen clenched her fists hard and cursed herself for being careless.Because of the incident with her third elder brother, she was dazzled by the victory in front of her. However, she relaxed for a moment and gave An Lingrong room to play. She was sure that Concubine Qi's chestnut cake was transferred to Concubine Min. An Lingrong must have played a role in this matter, but he only realized it now that it was too late.

There was also Concubine Zhen. An Lingrong must have found out early on that it was her who had done something to Ankang, so he ended her quietly. No, I am afraid that Concubine Zhen fell ill and fell out of favor because An Lingrong did it intentionally. Let yourself ignore the concubine so that you can attack her.The queen tried her best to calm down and looked at An Lingrong as if looking at a ferocious beast.

However, she forgot that the greater threat to her now was from the other side.

"What's wrong with the Queen? Suddenly her face turned so ugly." Zhen Huan spoke with concern, interrupting the Queen's thoughts.

The queen couldn't help but her temples jumped violently, and she raised her hands to resist the twitching pain in the back of her head: "I am fine, Concubine Xi has her heart."

This is really a dilemma with a wolf in front and a tiger behind.

That night, the queen suffered from a headache and fell ill. She seemed to be very ill. This time she took the initiative to delegate power to Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing, allowing them to temporarily assist in the management of the Sixth Palace.

"The Queen's move was unexpected. She is such a hegemonic person, but she is willing to delegate power." An Lingrong was a little surprised after hearing the news.

"It means she was forced to have no way out." Zhen Huan finished drinking the anti-fetal medicine and took a mouthful of candied fruit in her mouth. "She asked Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing to assist in the Sixth Palace. I'm afraid she also had the intention to win over her. Concubine Jing is okay. Based on her friendship with us, she may not be close to the queen, but Concubine Duan... I only met her a few times before, but I also know that she is not the type to bend for power. People, but they don’t know what kind of relationship she has with the Queen.”

An Lingrong smiled and shook his head, and said firmly: "I'm afraid there is no one in this palace who understands the Queen better than Concubine Duan. She is an upright person and always only speaks fair words. There is no need for my sister to deliberately win over her. When the time comes, she will help her sister." She took a sip of tea and winked at Zhen Huan, "Queen, she is retreating in order to advance, I'm afraid she's not harboring any bad ideas."

"It's time for rumors to spread." Zhen Huan touched her growing belly and whispered.
