The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

There was a Qing Banquet in Kyushu, with singing and dancing, but tensions were rising at the table.

Moge was arrogant. After entering the palace, he not only did not meet the Qing Dynasty rules, but also deliberately greeted him in Zhungar language without showing any respect. Zhen Huan responded by pouring wine on the ground as a sacrifice, giving him a severe blow. .

"Concubine Xi is really sharp-tongued. She doesn't look like someone who lives in the harem all day without leaving home." Moge sneered again and again, looking maliciously at Zhen Huan's carefully dressed up face, scanning her stern eyes inch by inch. her face.

Zhen Huan smiled solemnly and said, "The Khan is laughing at me. I have little talent and little knowledge. What I know is the emperor's accidental guidance. How dare I accept such praise from the Khan?" She smiled calmly, as if nothing had happened, but she was already pinched in the palm of her hand. A cold sweat.

This Mog Khan was none other than the foreign man that Zhen Huan and Prince Guo rescued on Lingyun Peak. Although he had a bit more beard than when he first met, the gaze he looked at him was exactly the same as before.Zhen Huan held back the horror in her heart, and her face was completely disguised, but she knew that Moge also recognized her.

"What Concubine Xi said is true to my heart. Please drink this cup to the full to enjoy the joy of meeting me today." The emperor raised his hand slightly, interrupting the two of them looking at each other.

Zhen Huan sat down happily, wiped the cold sweat from her hands, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After finally sitting down at the table, Moge asked someone to bring out a set of nine-link rings, deliberately making things difficult: "Today is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the day for begging for luck, and I have a trick for everyone to share. This is what I got by chance many years ago. Nine-linked jade ring, I heard that the jade craftsmen from the Western Regions sacrificed their lives to get this beautiful jade, and they worked hard to carve this ring." He raised his eyebrows and sneered, "They say there are many wise people in the Central Plains, can you please ask the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty to explain it to me? Where to open this Nine-Lian Yuhuan?"

This nine-link jade ring is exquisite and exquisite. It is carved from a single piece of jasper. The rings are interlocked and integrated into one. After asking all the officials and princes at the table, no one can figure it out. Zhen Huan does not want to stand out anymore. He came forward to excuse his own incompetence, which made Moge feel proud and rampant.

"Huang Ama, my daughter has a way, which may be able to explain it." Wuyue's childish voice sounded loudly.

"Even the officials in the court can't do it. What can you, a little daughter, do?" The emperor's face showed a bit of helplessness, but he couldn't resist Long Yue's coquettish behavior, so he let her go, "Okay, you Let’s go and give it a try.”

I saw Haoyue holding up the nine-ring ring and throwing it to the ground with all her strength. The jade ring shattered and broke into several pieces. She suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Look, Emperor Ama, my daughter is untied."

Moge was shocked and angry, and the Zhungeer envoy was even more stunned. He even said that this jade ring was priceless, but the emperor smiled and said, "Longyue wins my heart the most."

Longyue stepped forward to apply the knife, with a smile on her face: "You don't need to praise this princess for being smart. Everyone in the Qing Dynasty knows this method, but they don't bother to tell you. The treasures in your eyes are priceless, but this princess is commonplace, why bother? Losing the magnanimity of an envoy for a jade ring makes people think Zhun Geer is stingy."

Moge was so angry that his face was livid, but he was speechless.

After several confrontations, Moge didn't get any benefits, but instead lost all face. He looked at Zhen Huan with evil eyes, and glanced at King Guo sitting below him from the corner of his eye. He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly calmed down. He lost his anger and said with a smile: "Is this the daughter of Imperial Concubine Xi? Sure enough, like mother, like daughter. I admire the intelligence of this princess very much." He took off the bronze eagle sculpture he was wearing next to his body and handed it to Lu In front of Yue, "Be careful, please don't dislike it, princess."

Haoyue just glanced at the emperor reservedly, and after seeing him nod, she motioned for the maid to step forward to take it. She leaned over and saluted, responding appropriately: "Thank you Khan."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and raised his glass to start the banquet.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhen Huan was a little tipsy. She held Cui Jinxi's hand and left the table quietly. She walked in the forest to dissipate the smell of alcohol, but she saw Su Peisheng walking over with a happy face: "What good news has Eunuch Su got? So happy."

"Master Yue Zhongqi pretended to be in confrontation with Jungar's tribe, and secretly sent elite cavalry to raid Junggar's grain and grass army." Su Peisheng laughed twice, with smile lines that could not be hidden at the corners of his eyes, "Without the grain and grass, Junggar's soldiers were again I've been infected with the epidemic, let's see what kind of tricks this Mog can do!"

"What good news. The emperor will be very happy when he knows about it." Zhen Huan sighed. She has never seen the emperor smile again in more than a year, and she doesn't know if today's news can make him show off his face. "You first Go back and I will be here immediately."

Just as Su Peisheng left, Zhen Huan heard a shout behind her. When she looked back, she saw Moge striding towards her, and she suddenly felt that something was wrong.After calming down, she greeted him politely: "Hail Khan."

"Concubine Xi, please come and be fine." Moge didn't want to pretend anymore and spoke with a sneer, almost wanting to expose her disguise in one second.

"Khan's words are wrong. I have never seen Khan before. How can I say that I am fine?" Zhen Huan suppressed her panic and said with a smile. Suddenly she was glad that she was wearing heavy makeup today, otherwise she would have been beaten at this moment. The person noticed that his face was pale, "The Khan is an honored guest today and has come from afar. Why do you skip the banquet now? But you think the royal wine is not mellow enough?"

Moge looked at Zhen Huan coldly, as if he wanted to eat someone: "I have the eyes of an eagle, and I can never forget anyone I see. Concubine Xi, you are very courageous. You dare to have an affair with the emperor's younger brother." !" He looked at Zhen Huan's slightly changed expression with satisfaction, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"I have never offended the Khan. Why would the Khan put me at risk of exterminating my family?" Zhen Huan smiled brightly, but her face turned slightly cold. "Could it be because of some of my quarrels during the dinner? Does the Khan want to slander me like this? He is too petty. If the Khan is really not angry, I can apologize to you here, but I will never bear the charge of adultery."

"Concubine Xi, you are so eloquent!" Moge laughed loudly, with a hint of covetousness in his eyes, "Your Qing emperor likes a woman as smart and handsome as Concubine Xi, and so does I. ." Zhen Huan's smile faded and she looked at him coldly: "Khan is drunk."

"Concubine Xi doesn't have to think about her. I know what I'm talking about." Moge approached Zhen Huan and spit out his words like ice beads, "You, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, secretly burned my army's food and grass, and used the epidemic to threaten you. Your methods are despicable. , It is despicable, but since I have lost something, I will not give up until I gain something."

"As long as we can turn war into peace, it will be a win for both the Qing Dynasty and Geer." Zhen Huan faintly sensed something was wrong, managed to calm down her emotions, and smiled gently.

"I hope you, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, will be willing to give me what I want." Moge stared into Zhen Huan's eyes, like an eagle on the grassland staring at a prey, his eyes full of determination to win.

Zhen Huan's heart suddenly sank, and her heart was beating wildly as she looked at Moge's leaving figure.

At night, Zhen Huan was ordered to come to the Qinzheng Hall to attend the ceremony, but after waiting for a long time for the emperor to come, she couldn't help but have some random thoughts. Suddenly, there was a sound of opening the door, which made her tremble. Turning around, she saw the emperor walking in alone. , she just thought that the emperor was busy with government affairs and stepped forward as usual: "The emperor is back."

The emperor looked at Zhen Huan steadily, his eyes as cold as ice, and asked abruptly: "When did it happen?"

Zhen Huan's heart suddenly thumped. Thinking of Moge's sharp eyes, her heart trembled. She stood frozen on the spot, trying not to think about whether the emperor was asking about her and Yunli, but she clearly saw it. There was a dark murderous intent in the emperor's eyes, and she finally gritted her teeth to hold back the fear and timidity. She asked calmly: "I am ignorant, I don't know what the emperor is referring to?"

On a midsummer day and a hot night, Zhen Huan broke out in a cold sweat.

The emperor suddenly reached out and lifted Zhen Huan's chin, and said coldly: "I have always loved you, but at this moment, I really hate your face." His eyes were deep, like a sharp blade piercing Zhen Huan. He said to his heart, "Someone just told me the story of Zhaojun."

Zhen Huanzhong was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses. The evening breeze blew in through the crack in the door, making the cold sweat on her back run cold. The huge panic and fear suddenly faded away, replaced by shock and suspicion. She looked at the emperor, Whispered: "It's Mog..."

"Mog came here specifically to see me and ask me to allow you to marry me." The emperor's tone was the same as usual, but there was coldness and disgust in his eyes. "When did he fall in love with you?"

"I am the emperor's concubine, how can I commit myself to a marriage? Moge is really ridiculous!" Zhen Huan did not expect that Moge would actually mention this matter to the emperor, and she did not expect that the emperor did not refuse on the spot, but came to question her now. Is it possible? No, is the Qing Dynasty really unable to fight Jungar?

"Why don't I know that he is ridiculous? I just used your words to silence him, but he brought out the allusion of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty and compared you with Ming Fei Zhaojun and asked me to cut off my love." The emperor looked at Zhen Huan and couldn't tell. Sad or regretful, "Your face is so attractive to me and attracts others, so I shouldn't let you see him."

Under the dim candlelight, the emperor's face looked so strange and terrifying. Zhen Huan seemed to understand something, and she felt sour in her heart: "It was the pain of Emperor Yuan's life for Concubine Ming to leave the country. If he wants his concubine to marry Moge, is the emperor really willing to do so? ?" With tears in her eyes, she tried her best to awaken her love for the emperor, hoping to impress him, "Even if the emperor is willing to give up, how can Hong Zhao Lingxi and Lu Yue be able to hold their heads high and live a good life in the future?"

"I have been loving you for ten years, so I can't bear to let you go. But, what's the use of being reluctant?" There was a trace of reluctance on the emperor's face, but it was half a smile, "Although the Qing Dynasty forced Jungar to stay because of the epidemic. It is temporary, but it is not a long-term solution. If we start a war with Jungar, it will only do a lot of harm and no benefit. Moge told me clearly that as long as you are allowed to be the princess of Junggar, all Junggar's army will retreat. …”

Zhen Huan knelt on the ground in silence, her eyes that had been filled with tears a moment ago were so dry that they hurt. The silence in the hall made her feel numb and confused. She originally thought that the emperor still had at least a trace of love for her. But she didn't expect that, even in the slightest bit, he was so cold-hearted and cold-hearted towards her that he could give her up to someone else.

"Concubine, I understand..." Zhen Huan's voice was trembling unnoticeably, "As a noble concubine, I have been favored by the emperor for many years. Now it is time to repay the emperor's kindness."

The years in the palace are silent, and she, Zhen Huan, is just one of the thousands of flowers in the harem. No matter how beautiful and beautiful they bloom, they will eventually wither. And when her flower withers, there will naturally be a difference. The flowers will bloom again, and when the war in Zhungeer subsides and the emperor conducts the draft again, the flowers will be in full bloom and the oil will be boiling, and it will have nothing to do with her anymore.

Zhen Huan kowtows to the ground, her tears finally falling down drop by drop: "At the spring banquet, let's have a glass of green wine and a song, and then pay homage to Chen Sanyuan. The first wish is that my husband will be a thousand years old, the second wish is that I will always be in good health, the third wish is that I will be like the swallow on Liang Shang, who will look good every year. See……"

A sharp sound of arrows pierced the air, interrupting Zhen Huan's choking, and the palace door was violently pushed open.

"Who?!" The emperor was suddenly startled. He didn't have time to call for escort, but he saw two familiar figures flying to both sides of him, and they restrained him with lightning speed. "Xia Yao and Xia Ge, you two... actually... actually... Dare to betray me!"

Prince Guo, dressed in military uniform, came slowly over, with a solemn look on his face. He completely lost the demeanor of the handsome young master in the past. He held his bow and sneered, and stood still in front of the emperor.

"In the history of the Han family, the most clumsy plan was to get married. The emperor's fear of war was beyond the expectations of his younger brother. The country is governed by the Ming Dynasty, and the safety of the country is entrusted to the woman. How can you just imitate the beauty of Hu Chen? There are thousands of bones in the ground, who can be my assistant?" King Guo didn't even look at Zhen Huan. He walked to the dragon chair step by step, reached out and touched the golden dragon head, "Brother, if you don't want to fight, my brother is willing to take the lead. The soldiers are leaving the border, but I just want to ask for a favor from the emperor..."

"Presumptuous!" The emperor never expected that things would be like this tonight, and there was murderous intent in his eyes, "Old Seventeen, how dare you conspire against me?!" (End of this chapter)
