The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

"The queen is partial. If the third elder brother doesn't like it, he will force it on our fourth elder brother." Zhen Huan was shocked. The first thing that came to her mind was that the queen knew that she and An Lingrong wanted to make the fourth elder brother the prince. , but after a quick thought, she rejected this guess. She thought that Ulanara Qingying contradicted the queen that day, and the queen wanted to use this to teach her a lesson. She also made herself feel disgusted, and softened her tone, and then said, "Your Majesty, last time I also promised to be my concubine, saying that Fucha Shuyao, the daughter of Rongbao's family, the manager of Chahar, is gentle and virtuous, and is a perfect match for the fourth elder brother. You have no joke."

"I know that you like the Fucha family, and Hongli also likes her. Although she is one year younger than Hongli, she is also stable." The emperor opened a memorial and lowered his eyes and said, "But the queen said that Qingying only wanted to be with Fujin. She is so humble in this position, I can’t say anything else.”

At this point, Zhen Huan had nothing to say. She could only say dullly: "The Uranala family is from a famous family, and I am afraid that I will wrong the queen's niece."

"The Queen is willing, but I have to give the Queen this face." The Emperor stopped writing and seemed a little tired. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. "Guar Jia'emin has committed suicide, and what happened to your father back then has also come to light. Well, I will write an edict to redress your father's injustice of several years and reinstate him to his post. What do you think?"

Zhen Huan was slightly stunned, then stood up and bowed: "Please, Your Majesty, please don't give me an excessively high official position for my father. He is really old."

"Then I will give him a casual position as a fourth-grade ceremonial officer, so that he can spend his old age peacefully." The emperor hummed softly, opened his eyes and sat up again, "You can grind it."

Zhen Huan leaned over to thank her.

Suddenly there was a thunderous rumble outside, and the downpour fell in the blink of an eye. A woman's voice seemed to be begging for mercy, mixed with the sound of rain. The sound of rain covered the sound. It sounded very unreal. It took a long time for Zhen Huan to hear it. It turned out that it was Guar Jiawen Yuan's voice.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my family, please forgive my mother's family... Your Majesty, you favor the slut and wrongfully accuse the ministers who are loyal to you... Zhen Huan, you slut! I just turned into a ghost. I won’t forgive you either…”

Zhen Huan raised her eyelids and glanced at the emperor. The emperor seemed not to hear and kept writing. She raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Su Peisheng who was guarding the door.

After a while, the sounds outside the door gradually became weaker.

The Guarjia family, who had stepped on the Zhen family to ascend to the throne, finally ushered in the end of decline. Seeing him rise from a tall building, watching him entertain guests, seeing his building collapse, the Guarjia clan fell into pieces, and all adult men were beheaded, and all those under ten years old were beheaded. When Si was exiled to Western Xinjiang, his wife and daughter were not official slaves, and they finally fulfilled the saying that "the whole clan will end without heirs."

On this day, Zhen Huan brought Hong Yang to greet the Queen Mother, and An Lingrong happened to be there too.

"It's your dexterity that makes Aijia feel comfortable using these pair of knee pads. If you have time, you can teach Chun Miao another day. Aijia thinks this acupuncture technique is unusual." The Queen Mother looked better for a rare moment and leaned against the bed. Talking to An Lingrong, he immediately laughed when he saw Zhen Huan coming in, "Brother Jiu looks much stronger. The Ai family remembers that when he was first born, he was as weak as a kitten. Now he is white, plump and plump. Looking at It makes people like her. It shows your care in raising her. Concubine Hui's spirit in heaven can be a little relieved." She asked Zhen Huan to come forward and teased her twice with a smile on her face, which made Brother Jiu giggle.

An Lingrong sat aside and said, "The Queen Mother doesn't know that my sister loves Brother Ninth and does almost everything by herself. Even Longyue and Hongzhao have to stay behind."

"It's hard for you. Now you have to take care of the children and take charge of the Sixth Palace. Everyone looks haggard." The Queen Mother looked at Zhen Huan with a smile and praised, then said, "Now that the Queen is well, you should also take a rest. , don’t make yourself sick from exhaustion.”

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Zhen Huan's expression changed slightly, but she soon returned to normal and said with a smile: "Yes, when I was invited to help choose Fujin for the third elder brother two days ago, I saw that the queen was in high spirits, and I guess it was her body. It’s no longer a problem.”

"The children are all grown up, and the Queen is a little anxious about choosing Fujin for the third elder brother." The Queen Mother was a little nervous, but she thought clearly, "Yesterday The emperor came over and talked about choosing a consort for Huaishu. The Ai family had seen the list and felt that the young prince of Jinkang County Prince's Palace was a good candidate. The emperor agreed and asked the two children to come over tomorrow to have a look. , if Huaishu likes it, this matter will be done."

"The Queen Mother has taken care of everything. Xingui is talking about this every day, so you should rest assured." Zhen Huan pursed her lips and smiled.

"Xin Gui has accompanied the emperor from the palace to the harem for so many years. It's time for her to be granted the title of concubine." With a faint smile on her lips, the Queen Mother looked at An Lingrong and said, "Take Hong Yang out for some fresh air. Ai Jia Sandalwood is lit in the temple, so don’t smoke the children.”

An Lingrong saw that the Queen Mother wanted to talk to Zhen Huan alone, so without much hesitation, she stepped forward and took Hong Yang from Zhen Huan's hands. He inadvertently looked at her and Zhen Huan winked at her and signaled her Peace of mind.

"There is something that the Ai family can't decide on, and I want to ask what you mean." The Queen Mother looked at Zhen Huan with burning eyes.

Zhen Huan was the only one left in the dormitory, and even Zhu Xi was sent out by the Queen Mother. For a moment, Zhen Huan felt a little unsure: "It's okay to ask, Queen Mother. Although I am stupid, I am willing to listen attentively."

"It's about your sister, Yurao's marriage." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.

It was a hot summer day, and there was a large vat of ice cubes in the corner. A ray of wind blew in through the cracks in the window, and the coolness of the ice cubes hit Zhen Huan's back. She aroused goosebumps for no reason, and the Queen Mother's voice seemed to also With this coolness, it fell gently and slowly into Zhen Huan's ears: "The Ai family knows that the emperor has other thoughts about her. You are so smart, you should know it."

"Yes, I know." Zhen Huan's voice was a little harsh.

"The Ai family knows that she is a good child, and they also know that she has no intention of becoming a concubine, but the emperor..." The Queen Mother looked at Zhen Huan and sighed softly, "Yu Rao looks too much like the deceased Queen Chunyuan. Fu Ruyin back then You have appearance but not spirit, while you have three points of appearance and seven points of spirit, while Yurao has nine points of beauty and eight points of spirit. The Ai family is afraid that the emperor will not be able to control himself. Concubine Xi, do you understand what the Ai family means?"

Zhen Huan pursed her lips tightly, bent down and knelt down, and said calmly: "I would like to ask the Queen Mother to marry my younger sisters Yurao and Shen Beile..."

"The Ai family has chosen the son of Prince Yixian, and Prince Ning is the husband-in-law of Yurao. How does Concubine Xi feel about it?" The Queen Mother looked at Zhen Huan intently and interrupted her, "Shen Beile is the emperor's youngest brother. If Yin introduces The Ai family will never tolerate a woman causing quarrels between brothers, but Prince Ning is the emperor's junior, so marrying him will put the Ai family at ease."

As if a basin of cold water had been poured on her pocket, Zhen Huan suddenly shook her head, but had nothing to say: "Queen Mother!" "The Aijia will let you know in advance about this matter, so you should be mentally prepared, and wait until next year when Prince Ningjun is full After three years of mourning, the Ai family will take the decision to grant them marriage." The Queen Mother raised her hand to finalize the matter and motioned for Zhen Huan to kneel down.

Zhen Huan's lips twitched, but in the end she didn't say anything. She kowtowed and retreated.

Outside the hall, An Lingrong was holding Hong Yang and swatting butterflies. When he saw her walking out with a pale face, he quickly handed the child to the wet nurse and walked over quickly: "Sister, what's wrong?"

Zhen Huan shook her head silently, holding An Lingrong's hand tightly, and after returning to Yongshou Palace, she elaborated on what the Queen Mother had just said.

Zhen Yurao was in the palace at that time. After listening, she was silent for a long time before uttering: "I don't want to marry Prince Ning."

"I know you don't want to." Zhen Huan was also heartbroken, and she felt slightly sad, "Yu Rao, I just want to ask you, do you have to be him?"

Zhen Yurao nodded seriously and solemnly: "Yes."

An Lingrong chuckled, breaking the solemn atmosphere: "I once heard Dan'er say that the third young lady of the Zhen family is a hero among women. She said that she would rather marry a common man for a lifetime than enter the palace. Now, When I meet the one I love, I don’t even care."

Zhen Yurao smiled shyly: "Empress Rong, don't laugh at me, Yunxi, he is different from the emperor, he is...very good."

"If you really want to do this, I am willing to take the risk for you." Zhen Huan showed a knowing smile and looked at An Lingrong and smiled, "But I don't know if Shen Beile has the same thoughts as you. It’s good to have something accurate to say.”

"If you want to ask this question, I can help." An Lingrong took a sip of tea and said, "My fourth brother passed the National Examination in spring, and one day he went to the Zhuangyuan Building to read poems. He met a close friend, and we were able to go back and forth easily. That person became a good friend, and later I found out that person was Shen Beile. If my sister wants to ask him for an accurate answer, I will ask him to find out."

Zhen Huan hesitated slightly: "Okay."

An Jingxuan asked this question quickly.

"Shen Beile said that my heart is so broken that I can't change it." An Lingrong took the words and looked at Zhen Yurao with a smile.

"I should have known what he meant." Zhen Yurao was very moved when she heard this. She was about to cry, but stopped smiling.She was already extremely confident in her heart, and now she had to say something just to reassure her eldest sister.

"Since he cares so much about Yurao, it's worth the trouble." Zhen Huan said with a determined smile, "Don't worry, although we are not completely sure about this matter, we must try our best to prevent you and Shen Beile from regretting it. For life. Although Prince Ning’s funeral will end next spring, the Queen Mother’s life is hanging by a thread now, and we don’t know how long it will last. If the Queen Mother dies, you will have to observe the national mourning for three years, so it’s better to act quickly.”

An Lingrong said: "There are not many concubines in the palace now. The emperor's eyes are always fixed on Yurao, so we have to find a way to put the emperor's mind aside."

"Next month is the draft, and when the newcomers enter the palace, the emperor will naturally not have the energy to keep an eye on Yurao anymore." Zhen Huan said softly, and she told Zhen Yurao, "Don't go see Shen Beile in private during this period, so as not to cause trouble. "

Zhen Yurao nodded in agreement.

However, the draft has not yet started, and the newcomers have entered the palace first.

"Mother, today the Prince of Guojun sent a woman to the palace. I heard that Prince Fujin of Guojun personally selected her. I don't know how Prince Guo told the emperor. The emperor took her into the palace without saying a word. Now she has already I've moved into Changchun Palace." Daukou came to report, but he stopped talking.

"If you have anything to say, just say it." An Lingrong was sewing Lingxi's bellyband and said without looking up.

"My slave took a look at her from a distance. I recognize that woman." Dou Kao lowered her voice, "Her name is Jiang Caiping."

An Lingrong was startled for a moment, and it took him a long time to remember this: "Yangzhou Skinny Horse?" Seeing Daukou nodding wilfully, she put down the needle and thread in her hand, stretched out her hand to lift Daukou's chin, and looked at her face carefully, and suddenly He smiled and said, "Doujiao, in the blink of an eye you have been following me for nine years. You have changed into a girl, but you are no longer the same as you were when we first met."

Appearance is secondary, the most important thing is temperament. No matter how you say it, Dou Kao is now one of An Lingrong's most capable confidants. With her great power, her demeanor has become more and more noble. At first glance, you can't tell what Jiang Caidi was like back then. The shadow, on the other hand, is dill, and we can still see a three-point similarity.

Daukou blinked and smiled: "Back then, I used to coax my slaves like this." Even so, her expression relaxed, "What about Sister Dill?"

"Don't worry, she is more stable than you." An Lingrong was not worried at all.
