The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

"Concubine Xi, what are you talking about?" Taking advantage of the emperor's daze, the queen immediately came to her senses and scolded Zhen Huan in a cold voice, "How can the royal jade plate be changed if you say it can be changed? The sixth elder brother is my child. , No matter whose knee he was raised in the past, he is still the child of this palace." She glared at Concubine Jing fiercely, thinking that she was a law-abiding person, but she didn't expect that she was also ambitious, and he actually dared to reach out under her nose. .

Zhen Huan smiled lightly and said: "Why is the Queen so excited? I just made a suggestion."

The queen hit a soft spot and realized that her reaction was too intense. She softened her tone and said, "I just feel that Concubine Xi's words were not taken into consideration."

She looked at the emperor with some uneasiness, but saw that he seemed to have really listened to Zhen Huan's advice and was seriously considering the matter. She was about to open her mouth to fight for it again, but she caught a glimpse of An Lingrong's smiling eyes from the corner of her eye. Suddenly her mind cleared up, but before she could think more clearly, An Lingrong spoke slowly from the side.

"Your Majesty, the sixth elder brother has been with Concubine Jing for almost four years. In the past four years, the emperor has seen how Concubine Jing treated the sixth elder brother." An Lingrong had a gentle smile on his face. , "There is a saying in Buddhism that everything is predestined by fate. Although the concubine and her sixth brother are not biological mothers and children, they are better than their biological mother and son. Isn't this a kind of fate? What's more, the queen has three brothers to take care of. After all the hard work of teaching, I don’t have much energy to take care of the sixth elder brother. It’s better to fulfill the mother-son relationship between Concubine Jing and the sixth elder brother. What does the emperor think?”

"There are rules for everything that comes and goes. It is fate that the sixth elder brother continues to be raised by the concubine." The queen was too lazy to pretend at this moment, and directly retorted to An Lingrong with a stern face, "As for opening an ancestral hall and changing the jade plate It’s better to avoid it, there is no reason for an elder brother to change the jade plate twice.”

The emperor remained silent and did not speak. He looked at Brother Six and suddenly thought of his younger self for some reason.

E Niang held on to her jade plate like this back then and refused to let go, but she ignored him and only focused on Old Fourteen. Since she didn't want to get close to him, why bother tying him to her side?Huang's mother... Huang's mother treated him so well, but he never really became her son one day.

The emperor clenched his fists tightly, with a flash of scarlet in his eyes. Suddenly, a pair of hands gently held him. An Lingrong looked at him with a smile, her eyes full of twinkling stars, and her voice came slowly like a breeze: "Your Majesty, why don't you let Sixth Brother choose?"

This time, the choice is yours.

"Hongrong, come here." The emperor beckoned the sixth brother to come to him, looked into his eyes, and asked seriously, "You choose your mother-in-law yourself, do you want a queen or a concubine?"

"Your Majesty!" The queen panicked. She knew that if the sixth elder brother were to choose, he would definitely not choose her. A child under six years old does not understand the importance of concubine and inferiority. He only understands the good and bad things in front of him. Okay, if Concubine Jing really takes away a prince, where will she put her face?Even if this was a mute prince, even if there was no possibility of this prince ascending to the throne, she would not allow what originally belonged to her to be taken away by a concubine.

However, before the Queen could organize her words, Brother Six slowly opened his mouth to speak in front of everyone's shocked eyes.

He seemed to be very unaccustomed to it, and uttered vague syllables with some difficulty. His crying voice made his words sound even more unreal, but he said the key words very clearly: "Uh, mother, I want, E Niang...respect the empress, yes, uh, mother, I want her...to be, E Niang, no, I want the emperor...E Niang."

Concubine Jing couldn't help but burst into tears. Even though she knew that this was arranged early in the morning, when she actually heard these words, her emotions surged like waves, as if the feelings that had been suppressed for many years burst out in an instant. I cried so much that my makeup was all gone, and I lost my etiquette for the first time. I hugged my sixth brother tightly and kept mumbling: "I only want Hongluo..."

Everyone present couldn't help but have red eyes, and Zhen Huan also wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Sister Jingfei has been childless for many years, and she really loves her sixth brother as her own child."

The queen's face turned completely dark. She felt as if she had swallowed a fly alive.

"Su Peisheng, tell the Ministry of Rites that on a good day, you will rewrite the Six Elder Brother's jade plate in the name of Concubine Feng, and tell the world and all the clans." There was an imperceptible choking in the emperor's voice. After speaking, he left Ah Ge with his hands behind his back. Brother's office.

The queen closed her eyes in despair.

She lost again.

"It's beyond my expectation that it went so smoothly. Rong'er, why are you so sure that the emperor will agree?" After returning to Yongshou Palace, Zhen Huan pulled An Lingrong and asked impatiently.

An Lingrong smiled sadly and whispered: "The emperor agreed because he saw his former self in the sixth elder brother. What he fulfilled was not Jing Fei and Hong Luo, but the former Xiao Yiren. The Queen and Yinzhen." She blinked lightly, hiding the tears in her eyes, and quickly turned over the article, "The Queen has lost too much in this round, and I'm afraid she will go crazy in Jingren Palace with anger now. Woolen cloth."

"I'm worried about the Queen Mother." A hint of sadness appeared on Zhen Huan's face, "The Queen's attack was fast and ruthless this time. We counterattacked and drained the fire, causing her to lose everything. The majestic Queen was suppressed by the two concubines. I have no power to fight back, I'm afraid the Queen Mother is afraid."

"Don't worry, sister, Sister Mei Mei is here with the Queen Mother." An Lingrong comforted her softly, "But sister is right to be worried. After this time, we have to stop for a while. I hope the Queen will be at peace for a while." .”

Zhen Huan sighed heavily, feeling a little tired: "I don't know when these days will end."

"Okay, sister, please be happy. I heard that the third young lady of the Zhen family will enter the palace next month?" An Lingrong mentioned another happy thing and said with a crooked smile, "It just so happens that my little sister is also going to the palace." I want to come to the palace to pay my respects. I just received a letter from home a few days ago, saying that I happened to meet the Zhen family’s carriage on the way. After a few greetings, I learned that it was my sister’s little sister who was on the way, so my wife invited me to go with her. It should be We will arrive in the capital soon." "Really?" Zhen Huan looked happy, "The emperor did say that he asked Yurao to hurry up and rush into the palace to accompany me, but he never thought that his legs and feet would be so fast. He must be faster. Get ready.”

The two of them were talking about preparing something for their little sister, when Daukou walked in lightly and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jin is going to bed tonight, so she carried her into the Yangxin Hall and talked to the emperor for a while. After saying a few words, he turned around and carried it out again. The emperor now summoned Mr. Shun to the Yangxin Hall. The servant went to inquire about it and said that the concubine Jin had a bad throat after eating, and she frightened the emperor with her words. "

Zhen Huan opened her mouth in slight surprise and looked back at An Lingrong: "Rong'er, did you arrange this?"

An Lingrong shook his head quickly: "I haven't paid much attention to the harem these days. My thoughts are all outside the palace and my brother's house."

"It's strange, I didn't do anything." Zhen Huan pondered slightly, and suddenly thought of Qi Gui, "By the way, how is the relationship between Qi Gui and Jin concubine?"

"It's not good. Although they both work for the queen and are both high-ranking nobles, Qi Guiren is the proud daughter of heaven and Jin concubine is a fallen phoenix. They have long stopped dealing with each other privately, especially Qi Guiren's surrender. After taking the throne, she was always suppressed by Jin concubines, and she felt very unconvinced." An Lingrong also guessed about Qi Guiren, she looked at Daukou, "Go and check carefully."

"Yes." Cardamom responded and retreated.

An Lingrong sneered and sighed: "It's rare that the emperor is willing to sell the queen's face tonight, but he didn't expect that Jin Concubine would lose her virginity."

The matter was not difficult to find out. Dou Kao checked it out the next day and it was clear that it was indeed Qi Guiren who had done it. A bowl of mute medicine completely damaged Jin Bin’s voice. She could no longer sing. It was even difficult for her to speak normally. When she spoke, her voice was as hoarse and rough as an old woman's, like a broken bellows leaking air.

After An Lingrong heard this, she felt that this method was very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before. Fortunately, this matter had nothing to do with her. In the Queen's camp, dogs bite dogs, and they eat everything. It's not her.As soon as he turned around, An Lingrong put the matter behind him.

On this day, Zhao Xuan brought An Lingdan, who was entering the palace for the first time, to Weiyang Palace to meet An Lingrong.

An Lingdan is the youngest daughter in the family. Her biological mother died young and she was raised at Lin Yun's knees. Therefore, her character is somewhat similar to that of An Lingrong. However, in comparison, An Lingdan's character is more resolute and courageous. Although you are afraid when things happen, you will still stick to your true heart and original intentions.

After the An family became prosperous, An Lingdan, as the only girl in the An family's waiting room, had to be personally taught by Zhao Xuan. She also invited a teacher to come to the house to impart knowledge. In terms of etiquette, she even hired a retired nun from the palace to teach her. Nowadays, An Lingdan is well-educated, quiet and elegant, and ranks high among the ladies in the capital.

"Bless your concubine, may you be blessed." An Lingdan knelt down and saluted An Lingrong skillfully and smoothly, then stood up and stood next to Zhao Xuan.

An Lingrong smiled and nodded, and asked Dill to give her the gift she had prepared early: "Dan'er is thirteen this year, and she is a big girl." She turned to look at Zhao Xuan, "Madam, we haven't seen each other for a long time. ”

"Yes, your Majesty is in good health, so I feel at ease." Zhao Xuan couldn't help but look at An Lingrong as soon as she walked in. Seeing that she was really well, she felt relieved, "I left in a hurry last time , I left before my wife was well. Although I received a letter from my mother later saying that everything was fine, I still felt uneasy. I will not give up until I see it with my own eyes. Don’t blame me."

"Madam is so kind-hearted, how can I blame you?" An Lingrong waved to the two of them and gave them a seat, "Why did you come to Beijing this time?"

"I came to the palace today to announce the good news to the empress." Zhao Xuan showed a beaming smile and said, "Brother Xuan succeeded in winning the imperial examination and is preparing to take the imperial examination next year. The master said that he should go to Beijing in advance to prepare for the examination and not be on the way. It wasted time."

An Lingrong was overjoyed: "Xuan'er knows how to read and is willing to work hard. He will definitely be successful in the future." She thought for a while and asked Dill to prepare a greeting note, "I have some friendship with an old gentleman in Beijing. He is a well-known scholar. After my wife returns home, she will ask Xuan'er to pay a visit to this old gentleman with a greeting card, or maybe ask him to give some advice."

"I'm sure you know the right person, I would like to thank you first." Zhao Xuan stood up and took the invitation with both hands, then pushed An Ling Dan out and said, "Then there is Dan'er's marriage. She also It's time to discuss marriage. If your Majesty doesn't mind, please pay more attention to her. What I mean is that I don't ask for high family status. I just want to be gentle and treat Dan'er well." She looked at it. He glanced at An Lingdan and said with a smile, "Of course, Dan'er has to like him. This child is getting older, so it's better to be obedient when he was a child. He has big ideas."

"Studying can help you understand things and broaden your knowledge. Isn't that why my wife specially asked Mr. Dan'er to teach me?" An Lingrong was not surprised. Instead, he nodded as expected and said with a smile, "In that case, Dan'er I will stay in Weiyang Palace from today on. The eldest princess is about to choose her consort. When the time comes, I will go to the Queen Mother to see her together, which will be better than me doing it myself."

"Thank you, empress." An Lingdan pursed his lips and smiled softly, stood up and saluted An Lingrong again.

On the other side, Zhen Yurao also happily entered the Yongshou Palace. She flew into Zhen Huan's arms like a fluttering butterfly: "We have been separated for several years, and now it is a joy to see each other. Why is the eldest sister crying instead? "

If I said I wanted to take a break during the National Day, would I be beaten to death...
