Chapter 18.play off

For three days in a row, it was Zhen Huan who attended the bedchamber, which caused a lot of discussion in the palace, but Zhen Huan plunged in without feeling a bit.

Whenever he looked at Zhen Huan's face with a happy smile, An Lingrong could not open his mouth to pour cold water on her, so he had to give up.But in the past few days, she was also busy with other things, and had no time to take care of Zhen Huan.

"My lord, this servant has quietly noticed that the flower ear secretly took the lid of the medicine jar and boiled it in boiling water, and then added something to the water." Cardamom ran over and said to An Lingrong, "It's not the medicine from last time. For another."

After the incident with the medicine jars happened last time, An Lingrong found an excuse and asked people to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get two new medicine jars. The old one was thrown away.The person behind the scenes probably got the news, and didn't take any action for a long time. Recently, it was probably because Zhen Huan was favored, and An Lingrong turned to the queen again, so that person started thinking again.

It's just that this time I was much more cautious than last time. I only tampered with the lid of the medicine jar, and the amount was very light each time, but the cardamom could still be smelled as soon as I smelled it.

An Lingrong stopped the medicine, and only said to the outside world that her body was recovering. For the past few days, Huasui only boiled Zhen Huan's nursing medicine.

"Pay more attention to Huasui these days, and find out who Yuguan's daughter has met recently. Only Huasui can't do this. There must be someone who meets her." Ann Ling Rong thought for a while, and said to Dou Kou, "Be quiet, don't be discovered."

"Yes, this servant knows." Cardamom nodded vigorously.

An Lingrong turned to look at Dill: "You find an opportunity to talk to Liu Zhu, and tell Sister Guan to pay attention to the movements of Yu Guan's daughter."

"Yes." Dill replied.

This poisonous nail had to be pulled out as soon as possible.

An Lingrong took a sip of tea, let out a long breath, washed up early and went to bed.

The next day, An Lingrong came to pay his respects to the queen, and everyone in the palace came in order. Concubine Hua seemed particularly interested today, sitting in Jingren Palace chatting with the queen from time to time.

Seeing that the sun was getting higher and higher, Zhen Huan came late with Huanbi, and knelt down to salute as soon as she entered the hall: "Concubine, please greet the empress." She gasped slightly, "Concubine is here!" It's too late, please forgive me."

In order to show her magnanimity, the queen naturally couldn't blame her: "It's not too late, you are too young to avoid sleepiness."

Zhen Huan breathed a sigh of relief, but knowing she was wrong, she didn't get up, and continued to greet the other concubines.

Concubine Hua lazily rolled her eyes, Concubine Qi pursed her lips and turned her head to the other side. No one paid attention to it. In the end, it was the queen who made a relief, raising her hand to make her stand up, and then said a few words of comfort to ease her embarrassment.

"Sleep under the swastika blessing quilt, so you can get a prince as soon as possible, and continue to have children for the royal family." The queen was full of smiles, and she seemed to rescue Zhen Huan, but in fact she pushed her to the cusp of the storm.

Concubine Hua immediately provoked the matter: "Yes, if a prince is born in the future," her eyes slowly fell on the opposite side, and she raised her lips and smiled, "I will be able to catch up with Concubine Qi."

Concubine Qi's expression froze when she said these words with ill intentions.

She has been in the mansion since the emperor was still a prince, and she has aged very badly after giving birth to the third elder brother. Although she is about the same age as Concubine Hua, she looks ten years older than Concubine Hua.Without beauty to rely on, and no family background like Concubine Hua, Concubine Qi's only hope in the palace is the third elder brother, and the third elder brother is the only elder brother raised in the palace, and he is the eldest son, and his status is even more unusual However, if another little elder brother came to share the favor of the third elder brother at this time, Concubine Qi would be the first to refuse.

Concubine Li also chuckled and chimed in: "Concubine Qi is blessed, don't be as unlucky as the fourth elder brother and his mother, who don't even have time to take a look at the fourth elder brother..."

Concubine Hua clicked her tongue lightly.

I really can't speak, but it's okay, if you don't hit seven inches, it's good to hit a snake's tail.

The queen's expression turned cold, and she interrupted Concubine Li's words: "Why did you mention the fourth elder brother again? The prince can talk about it casually? It's fine to talk about it in Jingren Palace. If it is passed to the emperor, the emperor will be angry. of."

Everyone lowered their heads, only Concubine Hua laughed and teased: "Concubine Li, the fourth elder brother's biological mother is unlucky, so why talk about unlucky people?"

"Okay, you guys have paid your respects too, let's all go away." The queen asked everyone to kneel down calmly, "I'm going to pay my respects to the queen mother."

All the people respectfully sent off the Queen.

After the queen left, Concubine Qi reprimanded Concubine Li for a few words, but Concubine Hua sent her back.

Before leaving, Concubine Hua glanced back at An Lingrong, with a smug look in her eyes, as if she was telling her: "Look, the queen is just a queen in front of this palace. You have taken refuge in the queen, and when you Really misjudged, there are times when you regret it!
An Lingrong's face was calm, and he stood behind Xin Chang with his head down.

Concubine Hua snorted coldly, and led Concubine Li out of Jingren Palace.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang walked hand in hand, and An Lingrong went back to Suiyuxuan on the way, so naturally he also walked with them.Therefore, Zhen Huan held Shen Meizhuang with her left hand, followed by An Lingrong with her right, and the three of them walked out of Jingren Palace side by side. Looking at them from a distance, they were indeed very close.

"Who is the fourth elder brother? Who is his biological mother?" Zhen Huan was a little confused, "How can a kind person like the empress get angry when you mention them?"

kind?

An Lingrong couldn't help sneering in her heart, the queen's mask is really tight, didn't she also think that the queen was pure, kind and amiable at the beginning in her previous life?
"I don't know either, but I vaguely heard it mentioned that the fourth elder brother's biological mother was humble and ugly. The emperor didn't like it very much, and he didn't even like the fourth elder brother, so he was raised in the Yuanmingyuan palace and was not allowed to enter the palace." Shen Meizhuang only knew roughly.

"Since the fourth elder brother's biological mother is humble and ugly, how can the emperor favor him?"

As soon as Zhen Huan asked, she was stopped by Shen Meizhuang, who pulled her aside and whispered, "It seems that when the emperor was still a prince, he got drunk and made a mistake, and was reprimanded by the late emperor." She lowered her voice again, "At that time, nine Wang seizes the heir, there are many dangers, no wonder the emperor angered the fourth elder brother. This is a big taboo in the palace, you just don't know it."

An Lingrong didn't follow, and watched the two of them whispering from a few steps away, but even if she didn't listen, she knew it.

The fourth elder brother's biological mother, Li Jingui, was originally a poor maid in the Rehe palace. At that time, the emperor was still the county king, and he had a dispute with the eighth prince. He drank too much wine in a moment of frustration, and spoiled her in a daze. Fortunately, there was a fourth elder brother, and the eighth prince informed the first emperor of this matter, and the emperor was reprimanded for disorderly behavior, and almost lost his title of county king.

You know, the emperor is the most important thing about self-cultivation, and if this matter is not guaranteed, it is a trap. In addition to Li Jingui's ugly appearance and humble background, the emperor despises her even more.

Therefore, even if the fourth elder brother is smart and healthy, the emperor is not willing to take a second look at him.

But who would have thought that such a fourth elder brother would become Zhen Huan's son in the future.

"Guan Guiren and Shen Guiren really have a good relationship, why does Shan Luorong always stand alone in the wind?" Concubine Hua's voice sounded behind the three of them, and she walked forward slowly with Concubine Li, "It's true, the friendship since childhood is different. If you are on the road halfway, even if you drive eight horses, you can't keep up."

As if An Lingrong couldn't understand her voice, she squatted down and saluted thoughtfully: "See Empress Hua, see Empress Li."

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang on the other side also bowed in unison.

"Your Majesty Guan pays respects to the empress. She always wakes up very early, so why am I late today? It's really rare." Concubine Li took the lead in raising the issue and asked knowingly.

When it comes to bed matters, Zhen Huan is naturally not easy to speak, she just said: "All the sisters are diligent, it is the younger sister who is lazy."

Concubine Li chuckled: "I don't dare to say that you are negligent, Mr. Guan. It is inevitable that you will be tired from serving the holy car. Unlike us, we are very leisurely."

Concubine Hua frowned fiercely at the side, thinking that Cao Guiren's absence is a little powerless, why is this concubine Li so speechless.

Zhen Huan was young, she was thin-skinned after all, she didn't know how to respond to what Concubine Li said, but she couldn't let her say it, with a bit of air: "Ms. Words. My sister is young, and I hope my mother will give me more advice."

Concubine Li looked at Concubine Hua with doubts in her eyes.

There was not even a drop of ink in her stomach, and Zhen Huan suddenly said something softly, but she couldn't understand it.

Concubine Hua sighed, seeing that Concubine Li couldn't make sense, she could only do it by herself: "Recently, nobleman Guan is busy serving the holy driver, nobleman Shen is also free, I don't know if I have time to copy a volume of women for the palace. The Analects of Confucius? It is also good to remind everyone in the harem to abide by the female model and be cautious in words and deeds."

Zhen Huan's heart skipped a beat.

"The empress ordered, how could the concubine refuse to obey." Shen Meizhuang agreed with a clear face, "I just don't know when the empress will ask for it."

Seeing that Shen Meizhuang's face was not showing at all, Concubine Hua was a little surprised: "Don't worry, just copy it slowly, I will order someone to get it when I want it." After thinking about it, she took a few steps forward, Standing still in front of Zhen Huan, he looked at Shenmei Village first, then at Zhen Huan, and then glanced at An Lingrong from the corner of his eye, "Shen Guiren seems to have calmed down a bit, but is it because the emperor hasn't summoned you recently? Guan Guiren's holy family You are so beautiful, why don’t you remember to share a piece of the pie for your sisters? Rong Chang is still there, sorry to see you, since I went to Suiyuxuan, the emperor has not remembered you as a number one person for almost half a year, why didn’t you remind me What about the emperor? Anyway, we live together in Suiyuxuan, and we can meet each other within two steps, and only when we meet each other can we have a three-pointed love."

Zhen Huan took a deep breath and said nothing.

On the contrary, An Lingrong said politely: "The concubine is not yet fully healthy. The emperor told Mr. Su to tell the concubine to take good care of the concubine. The concubine must obey the emperor's will. After all, only when the body is well-raised can the concubine be healthy." Accompanying you, aren't you?" She smiled lightly, and her tone of voice was as sweet and obedient as before in front of Concubine Hua, but there was a slight sharp edge between the lines.

Concubine Hua raised her eyebrows in surprise, she couldn't believe that An Lingrong would provoke her in front of her face.

Just as he was about to speak, Shen Meizhuang also came to his senses, and said in a gentle voice with his strength: "I made you laugh, the concubine is just because the weather has been hot recently and I have lost my appetite. The concubine asked the concubine to transcribe The Analects of Women is to instruct the female relatives of the six palaces, how can concubines not know that jealousy and resentment are a great loss to a woman's virtue, although concubines are incapable and dull, they never dare to lose their virtue."

"Although you have good virtue, there is no guarantee that others will do the same." Concubine Hua looked at An Lingrong with a half-smile, "I have been in the palace for many years, and my heart is cold. I have seen a lot of capricious things."

An Lingrong's face was indifferent, and she smiled slightly, "Thank you, Ma'am. The concubine thinks that since entering the harem, as long as he abides by the rules and does not exceed his duty, he will naturally be favored by the emperor according to his own ability." If you are not favored, you can only reflect on yourself, and you cannot blame others. Sister Wan is favored by the emperor, and she has her own merits, and this concubine knows it very well."

After some words, Concubine Hua looked at her differently. Compared with the soft and flattery before, such a sharp confrontation seemed to be more to her liking, but she didn't know that An Lingrong had this temper, and Concubine Hua slightly Squinting her eyes, she felt a little reluctant to give her up to the queen.

But An Lingrong's words were sharp in Concubine Li's ears. She raised her eyebrows and raised her hand to slap An Lingrong on the face: "You little bastard, what nonsense! How is my palace? Is it your turn to point fingers?!"

"Miss Lipin!" Zhen Huan exclaimed.

Anling endured the pain, and leaned over to plead guilty: "The concubine did not mean to criticize the concubine Li."

"Concubine Li," Concubine Hua said to her coldly, "I lost my sense of proportion."

Concubine Li regained consciousness in a flash, and her face flushed with embarrassment.That's right, An Lingrong didn't mention her name, what was she doing in a hurry to sit down!For a while, he was speechless.

"I paid my respects to the queen early in the morning, and I'm really tired after talking for a while, let's go back." Concubine Hua lost her interest, glared at Concubine Li, took Song Zhi's hand and left.

Concubine Li was so angry that her whole body was shaking, she stared at An Lingrong who was kneeling on the ground, bit her lip and left.

After everyone had left, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang stepped forward and pulled An Lingrong up. This was terrible, An Lingrong's right cheek was red and swollen.Zhen Huan was taken aback, and she didn't care to argue with Shen Meizhuang about whether she was favored or not, and hurried back to Broken Yuxuan.

Shen Meizhuang was also flustered, and quickly asked Caiyue to go to the Tai Hospital to get some ointment for reducing swelling.

The three hurried to Suiyuxuan in a hurry.
