The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

Chapter 197.green cherry

Zhen Huan changed into a crimson-colored palace dress, and put on the Dongzhu earrings that the emperor had personally gifted when she was crowned imperial concubine. She walked from a distance, her brilliance was striking, and the beautiful ladies who had been laughing and chatting just now all looked solemn and bowed their heads. He bowed and said hello, but only one person stood alone among the other women. He looked arrogant and had an outstanding appearance. He only slightly bent his knees as a greeting. He was extremely dignified.

This is Uranala Qingying.

Zhen Huan smiled and said nothing, just pretending that she could not see her, and walked straight to the queen: "Wish the queen a happy life."

The queen's face turned green when she looked at Zhen Huan's dress. This Dongzhu red dress was all a provocation to her as the queen. She was faintly angry, but she still managed to cheer up and nodded with a smile: "Get up."

Zhen Huan stood up and glanced at the queen calmly.We haven’t seen her for several months. The queen has lost a lot of weight. The hand on her leg shows half of her wrist. She is as thin as dry wood. It seems that she is really sick this time. Looking up, she can see the makeup on the queen’s face. , which could barely cover up her haggard and sick appearance, but today's makeup was thicker than before, as if this was the only way to maintain the dignity and dignity of her palace.

Zhen Huan withdrew her gaze, looked at the ladies, and said with a sweet smile: "Everyone, get up. Let's just treat our first meeting today as a common occurrence. When we meet again during the election in the future, there is no need to give such a grand ceremony."

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine Xi." Everyone stood up.

"The third elder brother is getting taller and taller." Zhen Huan looked at the third elder brother with a smile.

The third elder brother stood next to the queen, with only respect and obedience on his face, but not the slightest interest. Even though there were dozens of beauties in front of him, singing and singing, and beautiful and beautiful, he turned a blind eye. Zhen Huan took a quick look and knew that the queen was today. I'm afraid my plan will come to nothing.

At that time, An Lingrong was in the Yangxin Hall, and the emperor was buried in his papers. She was sitting aside, embroidering or reading, just like countless previous afternoons, free and comfortable.

I don’t know since when, An Lingrong’s appearance in Yangxin Palace has become a common thing. She can come and go freely. Even if the emperor is not there, the servants and guards of Yangxin Palace will never stop her. Everyone knows that the harem Among them, Concubine Rong was the most favored by the emperor.

And today is just one of those sparse and ordinary days.

After the emperor finished what he was doing, he raised his head and saw An Lingrong doing embroidery. The silver needles were turning over at her fingertips, dotted with golden sunlight, like tiny pieces of the Milky Way entwining between her fingers, brought about by the handling of government affairs. The dizziness gradually dissipated. He leaned slightly on the back of the chair and asked, "What are you embroidering?"

"Embroider a pair of knee pads for the Queen Mother. Aunt Zhuxi said that it has been raining for the past two days and the Queen Mother's knees are always uncomfortable. It seems that the air is humid and the Queen Mother's old habit has returned." An Lingrong stopped what he was doing and raised his eyes. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty is done with your work. Let's have a bowl of mung bean and lily soup. I'll chill it before letting it cool. It's the best way to relieve the heat."

Su Peisheng on the side immediately smiled and took out the mung bean soup from the food box and put it in the emperor's hand: "Yesterday, the slave was too talkative and told Miss Dill that the emperor has a bad appetite because of the hot weather in the past two days. The concubines made mung bean soup to relieve the heat, and the emperor will have a few more bites for dinner."

"You are so clever that you know how to use Rong'er to suppress me." The emperor slowly drank the mung bean soup with an obvious smile in his eyes, "The affairs of the Guarjia clan have been almost settled, and the affairs of Zhen Yuandao back then have also been settled. The Dali Temple found him guilty of an unfounded crime, and I thought about redressing his injustice before reinstating him."

"Uncle Zhen has been in Shu for many years. He was seriously ill before. He is afraid that it will be difficult for him to hold an important position in the court. Why don't the emperor ask my sister first?" An Lingrong pondered for a moment and said, "Although I don't understand the government, I , but I also know that the higher the official position, the greater the responsibility, and Uncle Zhen’s body may not be able to bear it. "

The emperor thought for a moment: "Okay, I'll ask her in a few days."

It was getting late, and the emperor left An Lingrong to have dinner in Yangxin Hall. Afterwards, the third elder brother came to say hello.

"Why are you here at this time?" The emperor was unraveling the Nine Links with An Lingrong, looking unhappy at being disturbed. "Have you finished reading your books today?"

"I've warmed up to it, and I've also read through all the articles Master taught." The third elder brother nodded and said.

It was rare to see him working hard, so the emperor's expression softened a little: "That's good, I'll ask about your book another day."

"Huang Ama, I have come here to ask Huang Ama for study." The third elder brother said hurriedly, with a bit of anxiety and helplessness on his face, "Huang Ama and Huang Eniang think that I have a long way to go." When we are old, it is time to start a family and start a career, but Erchen feels that now is a good time to study hard and does not want to indulge in his children's affair, so he does not want to start a family and marry Fujin yet."

"The intention between me and your mother-in-law was to have more than one person to take care of you." The emperor was a little surprised.

An Lingrong's eyes flashed, and he asked in a soft voice: "Is the third elder brother interested in someone?" Seeing him shaking his head, he smiled again, "You are already 25, if you don't marry Fujin, is it possible that the fourth elder brother will exclude you? Go ahead? Studying is a good thing, but marrying Fujin is also a good thing. There is no conflict between the two. The third elder brother can't even have this little self-control, right?"

"Gui Niao, you don't look like an elder." The emperor heard the ridicule in the words, laughed and cursed, and then looked at the third brother, "Your empress Rong is right, your marriage can't be delayed any longer, and it should be It’s settled.”

The third elder brother's face turned slightly pale. Thinking of Wula Nala Qingying's arrogant face in the daytime, and thinking of the Queen's dignified but half-smiling face, he couldn't help but feel chilled in his heart.Is it true that he can't escape Huang's mother's control?They are both adopted sons, so why can the fourth and sixth brothers be so relaxed, but he has to study day and night?The Queen's Mother always made him strive for success, but he was the eldest son, why did he have to live so hard?He couldn't imagine how difficult his future life would be if Uranara Qingying became his blessing.An Lingrong saw the abnormality of the third elder brother and thought for a moment: "A while ago, my sister and I talked about choosing Fujin for the fourth elder brother. She showed me the list of beautiful girls. I I think the Dong E family is good, bright and generous, but my sister prefers the Fucha family, saying that she is gentle and delicate." She rolled her eyes and smiled, "If the emperor believes in my vision, why not decide on the Dong E family for the three of them? Brother is Fujin?"

The third elder brother suddenly raised his head and looked at An Lingrong as if he had been granted amnesty.

The emperor thought for a while and nodded slowly: "Dong E is a good candidate." He looked at the third elder brother, "I will let your empress see Dong E later. If you think it is okay, make a decision first." Come down and go through the motions on draft day."

"My son, my son is willing." The third elder brother didn't know that this matter would turn out to be a turn of events, so he nodded quickly, and then realized that he had acted too obviously, and said nonchalantly, "My son, I will go ask the emperor's mother tomorrow. I resign."

Seeing the third elder brother leaving, the emperor felt that something was wrong. He summoned Su Peisheng and asked about the reason.

An Lingrong listened at the side and burst into laughter: "I think it was the third elder brother who didn't like the queen's niece and was afraid that the queen would force her to force her, so he begged the emperor." She said in an exaggerated tone, " I don’t know how hard it is for that Qingying girl to get married, so she has to be so hasty about connections, and I have never seen her name on the list of beautiful girls.”

"If you are selected by default, you can add your name." The emperor smiled coldly, "I knew the queen was anxious, but I didn't expect the queen to be so anxious. She even decided on the candidate for the crown princess in private." She was determined. The third elder brother will be enthroned as the prince.

"I still think Dong E's family is good." An Lingrong shook his fan and threw aside the nine-link chain that could not be solved.

"Don't be a scumbag about this matter. It's not untied yet." The emperor smiled and stuffed the nine-ring ring back into An Lingrong's hand and motioned for her to continue, "If you really think it's good, make her Hongshi's Fujin." It’s okay.”

An Lingrong laughed playfully and turned to say: "My elder brother will marry me personally and my sister will watch over it. The emperor does not need to worry about it. It is the princess who chooses the son-in-law. The emperor needs to be more careful. Huaishu is about to reach her age."

"You mentioned something to me last time, and I remember it." The emperor listed the candidates he liked one by one. An Lingrong listened carefully and felt that they were all good. "When the Queen Mother gets better, , and then let her choose one, that’s it.”

An Lingrong nodded.

The next day, after An Lingrong sent the emperor off to the morning court, he took advantage of the rare coolness in the morning to walk back to the palace. On the way, he saw Jian Qiu Zheng arguing with someone on the long street. He heard it clearly after he got closer.

"Although Gege can't become a Fujin for the time being, the empress's words make sense. Why don't you consider your status first and serve the third elder brother as a concubine? Then you can be promoted to a Fujin." Jianqiu advised in a slow voice. road.

"No matter how bad my aunt was back then, she was still a lucky girl. Now I am just a concubine with no name or status. My aunt really feels sorry for me." Ulanara Qingying's face was cold, with a bit of embarrassment and shame. She called her aunt one after another, and An Lingrong immediately knew her identity.

She is a beauty, but she is too delicate, and her original pretty appearance has been greatly reduced due to this, leaving only sharp nobility and arrogance.

"Gege, don't look at the shortcomings of the moment, just endure the humiliation and bear the burden." Jianqiu's back was to An Lingrong, so he couldn't see her expression. He only felt that her voice was astringent and it was a bit difficult to speak.

"Endure humiliation?" Ulanara Qingying raised her eyebrows, as if she had been severely humiliated, and her face suddenly turned livid, "Isn't the humiliation I have suffered not great enough? The third elder brother despises me, and the emperor personally chooses I chose Dong E as his Fu Jin, and now I have become the laughing stock of the whole palace. I still stick to it regardless of shame, so what am I?" She solemnly walked away without looking back, "Please Aunt tells me, thank you for your love, Qingying can't bear it."

Jianqiu no longer stopped her, and leaned forward to say goodbye: "Go slowly, Gege." She paused and looked at the back of Uranala Qingying for a long time, then turned and walked towards Jingren Palace.

An Lingrong couldn't help but sigh: "The Queen Mother and the Empress were shrewd throughout their lives, but the younger generation is so unbearable. No one in the palace dared to mention the fact that the Empress was cheating on Fujin back then. She actually spoke so openly. If she really became San'a Brother's Fujin, I'm afraid his life will be troublesome."

"Right now, I feel that the Queen is the one who is troubled. No matter what, it is Concubine Xi who is worrying, and she has nothing to do with her." Dill pursed her lips and chuckled, helping An Lingrong walk around a corner.

I don’t know if it was because of Dill’s crow’s mouth, but this disturbing incident actually happened to Zhen Huan.

"The previous court brought up the issue of establishing a crown prince again. You don't know how annoyed I am." Emperor Zhu kept criticizing, "Do these ministers think that I am old, so they are anxious to establish a crown prince?"

Zhen Huan stopped flipping the book, raised her head, and said in a gentle tone: "The emperor is young and powerful, so there is no need to worry about the foundation of the country. No matter how good the third elder brother is, he still needs experience. The ministers in the previous dynasty were just worried about the emperor's hard work and wanted someone to share their worries."

"Speaking of Third Brother, I have something to discuss with you." The Emperor also raised his head, "Yesterday I went to the Queen's Palace for dinner and talked about her niece Qingying and wanted to point it out to Hongli."
