The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

Jiang Caiping was granted the title of Ying and moved into the Changchun Palace. She was summoned to sleep with her that night, and then she was alone with him for three days.Thinking about it, she was indeed astonishingly beautiful, but in just half a month, she was granted the title of Everlasting by Jin. Her grace was on par with that of Ning Guiren and Shun Guiren.

This day, the clouds are clear and the wind is clear.

"Your Majesty has been with me for the past few days, and there are fewer people walking around my sister's palace. The matter of Yurao..." An Lingrong hesitated, "There is still half a month left for the draft. Now that Ying Chang is here, my sister Why delay? Since you have this intention, it’s time to wait.”

"I know." Zhen Huan glanced at Zhen Yurao who was sitting beside her, "You and Shen Beile haven't seen each other for a while. Let's meet him this afternoon."

"Okay." Zhen Yurao nodded.

An Lingrong smiled slightly: "I'm waiting for the good news from my sister."

It was still early when they left Yongshou Palace, and An Lingrong diverted to Chuxiu Palace. After Huaishu's marriage was decided, Xingui was overjoyed and had been busy preparing a dowry for Huaishu these days.

"The Queen Mother is in poor health. The emperor wanted to celebrate Huaishu's marriage, so the wedding was scheduled for October [-]th, which was a bit hasty." An Lingrong added six boxes of dowry to Huaishu and lamented that time flies by. .

"Huaishu can marry in Beijing now, and when we meet in the future, it is just a matter of handing over a sign, which is the best result." Xingui had nothing more to ask for. She never thought that her Huaishu could stay in the capital. Around her, since she was born, Xingui has been preparing for the worst, and she has been indifferent and alienated from Huaishu. She accepts marriage and marriage, but as her children grow older, no matter how hard-hearted she is, she still gives birth to all kinds of things. She was reluctant to give up, and now that she got what she wanted, it was too late for her to be happy, so she couldn't ask for anything else.

Xingui looked at the dowry with red silk ribbons all over the courtyard and the betrothal gift sent from Jinkang County Prince's Palace a few days ago, with tears in her eyes. She raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes and invited An Lingrong to come into the main hall to speak.

"I have something rare to tell you." Mr. Xingui stepped back and whispered, "In the past few days, I have always heard the sound of singing coming from my elder brother's house. It was melodious and sweet, and full of affection. Huaishu said, This song is "Shangxie", I'm afraid that another palace maid wants to cling to the emperor's favor, so I'll ask people to pay attention."

"There are no mausoleums in the mountains, and the rivers are exhausted. Thunders tremble in winter, and it rains and snows in summer. Heaven and earth are harmonious, so I dare to be with you." An Lingrong read softly with a smile, "I heard that Ying is always good at guzheng and ancient music. I think so. She must be rehearsing, your Chu Xiu Palace and my brother’s are separated by an entire imperial garden, maybe you got it wrong?”

"No way!" Mr. Xingui clapped his hands, "Pei'er asked carefully, and it was indeed the voice coming from my elder brother's place. It was the third elder brother who was arranging this song. I heard that he forgot to sleep and eat, and even read books. No more reading.”

An Lingrong was slightly surprised: "Third brother? The queen is so nervously staring at him reading, does he still have the mind to do this?"

"The queen has been busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet these days, so she may have neglected it." Xingui curled her lips.

An Lingrong felt a little weird, but couldn't tell what was weird at the moment. After thinking about it, he said, "Perhaps the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the third elder brother rehearsed it to make the Queen happy."

Xingui didn't know the reason, so he nodded casually and talked about other things with An Lingrong. He forgot the time for a moment, and when lunch time was approaching, An Lingrong got up to say goodbye, but unexpectedly, he left the store. At the gate of Xiugong, I met Ying Changzai.

Ying Chang held the canonization ceremony today. The etiquette was simple, so it ended early.Without leaving her gorgeous clothes, she slowly walked towards Changchun Palace holding the hand of the palace maid Chang Pu. She never thought that around the corner she would bump into Concubine Rong, who had been living in seclusion all year round.

Facing An Lingrong's smiling eyes, Ying Changzai was about to salute and say hello, but her eyes flickered to the palace maid beside her. She suddenly looked horrified and opened her mouth, unable to utter a single word.

"My lord, this is Concubine Rong of Weiyang Palace." Seeing that Ying Chang was in a daze, Chang Pu knelt on the ground and stretched out his hand to pull her sleeves.

Only then did Ying Chang come to his senses, and he quickly knelt down and saluted: "Concubine Changchun Palace is always in the Jiang family, and I would like to pay my respects to Concubine Ronggui."

"Get up." An Lingrong smiled and raised his hand to her, "I am weak and don't go out much on weekdays. I only heard people say that my sister came to the palace, but I never had the chance to see you. Today's chance encounter is really... What a coincidence, why not come and sit in my palace?"

Ying Changzai's expression changed again and again.

Before she entered the palace, Fujin told her about the situation in the palace, and several high-ranking officials even took the trouble to analyze it with her.The Queen has not been favored for many years, but her status is noble. Concubine Xi is favored and is in charge of the Sixth Palace.

Concubine Rong Guifei is the master of all things.Her family background is extraordinary, her dignity is comparable to that of a queen, she has been favored for many years, she has a more sacred heart than Concubine Xi, she has a wider network of people, she has more courage to know and employ people than Concubine Jing, and she has a son and a daughter under her knees, as long as she has a heart, The position in the middle palace may not be out of the question, but it is a pity that she is as sickly as Concubine Duan, and even the customary morning and dusk examinations are rare for her. Therefore, Yingchang has not seen her even once since he has been in the palace for half a month.

When they met for the first time today, An Lingrong invited her, but Yingchang couldn't make up her mind at the moment. She glanced at Dill with concern, leaned over and declined politely: "I'm already a little tired from the canonization ceremony today. , I’m afraid I’ll disturb the empress from her nap, so I’ll pay her a visit another day.”

"That's fine." An Lingrong smiled lightly, "If you want to come, just tell Dill in advance."

Dill raised her head and looked straight at Ying Changzai, until her face turned pale inch by inch.

"Concubine, I would like to send you my concubine Rong." Looking at An Lingrong's leaving figure, Ying Chang asked after being lost in thought for a long time, "Calamus, who is the maid named Dill next to Concubine Rong?"

"It's the dowry of the imperial concubine. She was brought in from outside the palace. She is now the aunt in charge of Weiyang Palace." Chang Pu was just promoted to be a first-class palace maid by the Internal Affairs Office. She didn't know much about it, but now the Internal Affairs Office obeys the two orders. She naturally said in a good direction for the assignment of a noble concubine, "Aunt Dill was trained by Concubine Rong. There was Aunt Cuiyin before. After she turned 25 and left the palace, Aunt Dill took her place. .”

"Did the concubine's dowry when she entered the palace only be... one dill?" Ying Chang walked back to Changchun Palace with a thoughtful look on her face. "There is also Sister Daukou, she is the confidant of the imperial concubine." Changpu naturally knows the status of Daukou. Most of their slaves follow Daukou's lead, but she cannot tell Ying Chang Zai about this.

Ying Changzai stood in front of the gate of Changchun Palace, a desolate look of confusion flashed across his face.

It turns out that they lived so well after escaping...

"She recognized him." An Lingrong looked at Dill with a smile and asked, "What are you going to do? Don't let her report it to Prince Guo."

"Even if you know, can you still take me back? With your current power, is it possible that you can't protect a little maid like me?" Dill also smiled, then her bright eyes flashed, and she raised her eyebrows, "Cai Ping was beautiful, and the slave guessed that it was probably because the newly appointed Seventeenth Fujin could not tolerate her, so she was stuffed into the palace. By the way, she could also use this to please the emperor, killing two birds with one stone. So Caiping had a soft temper. It's easy to control, but since she is the mistress of the palace now, I have plenty of time to talk to her and reminisce about the past, but I don't know if the empress will be willing to accept her."

An Lingrong laughed twice, with satisfaction and approval in his eyes: "Just go ahead and do it."

As dusk approached, An Lingrong eagerly awaited the arrival of Zhen Huan.

"The emperor walked away without saying anything else." The news brought by Zhen Huan was neither good nor bad. It was just vague and she was not sure. "It's just that, looking at Yu Rao and Shen Beile today, I was so happy to meet him, I would do this even if it made the emperor unhappy."

"Sister has done her job, and the rest depends on fate." An Lingrong comforted her.

"I thought that the emperor would come to your place tonight, but I never thought that he would actually go to concubine Jin." Zhen Huan was worried, "The queen is back on her feet now, and I see that she is in good spirits."

queen.

An Lingrong's eyes flashed slightly, and there was an imperceptible coldness in his eyes.

The stalemate between the emperor and Zhen Huan did not last long. Only five days after they broke up unhappy that day, the emperor once again visited Yongshou Palace, but this time he went straight to Yongbao Hall. When Zhen Huan got the news in Weiyang Palace, She was so scared that she almost lost her mind and rushed back immediately. An Lingrong hurriedly asked Bai Zhi to follow him.

After a while, Bai Zhi came back nervously: "After Imperial Concubine Xi returned, she was stopped outside the Yongbao Hall. When the emperor came out, he didn't say a word to her and left with a livid face."

An Lingrong's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly got up and went to Yongshou Palace.

In the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, the emperor was flipping through the book gloomily, without reading a single word. Su Peisheng walked in holding a lamp: "Your Majesty, this lamp is dimmed. Be careful if it hurts your eyes. I will give you another one." Bright."

Su Peisheng turned around and blew out the candles when he heard the emperor calling him and hurriedly turned around to answer.

"I have fallen in love with a woman and want to make her my concubine, but she refuses. What do you think?" The emperor said in a deep voice.

When Su Peisheng heard this, he didn't understand anything, but he still pretended not to know: "Your Majesty, I don't know who this woman is, but I feel that no matter how good a woman is, she can't compare to Queen Chunyuan."

"What do you mean?" The emperor then raised his head and glanced at him.

"My servant thinks that it doesn't matter who the emperor likes. It's her blessing to be able to serve the emperor for Queen Chunyuan." Su Peisheng said something from the bottom of his heart. The emperor scolded him for looking at things too poisonously, and he hurriedly apologized with a smile. , but also knew that the emperor was relieved.

As night fell, Su Peisheng knocked on the door of Yongshou Palace with an imperial edict granting marriage.

"Concubine Xi is very happy. The emperor has said that Miss Zhen San can prepare a dowry according to Dorogge's wedding ceremony. The empress should hurry up and buy a dowry for the third miss." Su Peisheng said with a happy face, "Shen Beile will be there tomorrow. I will receive the imperial edict early in the morning, and Concubine Xi will be promoted to the title of concubine. I will go to the Queen Mother's Palace later, so I won't stay any longer."

Zhen Huan breathed a heavy sigh of relief on the side, and she and An Lingrong reviewed whether there was anything wrong with what Zhen Yurao said to the emperor in the evening. Now that she had received the decree of marriage, she couldn't help but said with tears in her eyes: "We have entered." I never thought that in a poor alley, there would be such an unexpected surprise in a winding road."

Zhen Yurao held the imperial edict carefully, with tears glistening in her eyes.

"Sister can finally feel at ease." An Lingrong was also happy for her. "It's a happy event that Yurao and Shen Beile can finally get married. Why are you crying? It's important to buy the dowry quickly." After a slight pause, she added , "The wedding is scheduled for October [-]th, and it coincides with Huaishu's wedding. The emperor is marrying his daughter, and the concubine is marrying his sister. The palace will be very busy next. Does my sister still have the heart to shed tears here?"

Zhen Huan couldn't help laughing, and patted her with a handkerchief: "I thought I was the most eloquent person in this palace, but now it seems that I am no match for you."

An Lingrong ducked away with a smile, and was about to say something more, but saw Daukou walking in hurriedly, lowering his voice and saying next to her: "Mr. Zhou has sent word that the Queen Mother has vomited blood."
