The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

"kneel----"

Her eyes were filled with plainness. An Lingrong stood at the head of the concubines, kowtowing, kowtowing again, and kowtowing three times. Tears seemed to pour out of her eyes endlessly. She could no longer remember how many times she had fainted from crying. She only felt that her heart was already exhausted. She was numb with grief, and the person lying in the golden coffin would never open her eyes again. She suddenly realized that the late emperor held such a heavy weight in her heart.

His vision went black for a while, and An Lingrong fainted again amid exclamations.

The sound of whips resounded through the palace again, signaling the end of an old dynasty and the beginning of a new dynasty. Zhang Tingyu carried a secret edict to establish the new emperor. Between the old and the new, there was no longer the bloody storm of Kowloon to seize the throne.

On the third day of September, Hongli ascended the throne as emperor in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and all the ministers paid homage to him.

"In accordance with the order of the late emperor, the emperor honors you as the queen mother and empress dowager and moves to Cining Palace, and honors the emperor's concubine as the mother empress dowager and moves to Shoukang Palace." Dill and Cardamom both tied up their long hair and said the words awarded today. The decree states, "The Jin Dynasty will confer the titles of Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin as the Imperial Concubine, Concubine Shun as the Concubine, Honor Concubine Ning and Concubine Fu as the Concubine, and Concubine Kang as the Concubine, and move them to Ningshou Palace."

"Everyone praises the Emperor for his benevolence and filial piety." Zi Su said with a smile, "Now only the canonization of the original residence, Fujin Princess, is left."

An Lingrong leaned on the bedside and slowly drank the medicine, listening to Dill and others talking about the status of Fucha Shuyao and others.

Fucha Shuyao of Fujian Province is naturally the undoubted queen. The Gaojia family of Fujin Province was named Concubine Hui, the Ulanara family was concubine Xian, the Gegejin family was concubine Jia, Su Shi was concubine Chun, and the Huang family was concubine Yi. The Chen family and the Bai family have been granted noble titles, and the Keliye family has been granted the title of Chang. So far, there has been no problem.

Just as she was talking, Zhen Huan walked in with someone behind her, Cui Jinxi holding a bright yellow booklet.

"The emperor wants to designate Fucha Gege as a concubine." Zhen Huan looked unhappy and handed the brochure of the planned position to An Lingrong, "I originally thought that she had merit in giving birth to the eldest son, but now she is pregnant, so I will give her a concubine. That's it, but I didn't expect that the emperor actually gave the concubine the title with a wave of his hand. How did this make Ulanara feel?" After saying that, he rubbed his temples with a headache, "What's your temper about Ulanara? I also know that it’s fine that Wan Yue’s position is higher than hers. After all, Gao Bin is in need now, so what does Fucha Gege mean? If we really seal the title of Concubine Zhe, I’m afraid the harem will never be peaceful for a day.”

An Lingrong took a handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "Sister, have you ever thought about why the emperor paid so much attention to Fucha Gege? He was from a humble background, had an ordinary appearance, and gave birth to a prince, but the mother cannot be more valuable than the son...Sister Don’t you think you resemble someone?”

The palace maid Li Jingui.

Zhen Huan's eyes narrowed slightly, and her face suddenly turned cold.

"Why did sister have to be unhappy with the new emperor over such a trivial matter?" An Lingrong curled up his lips and said coldly, "But in this way, the existence of Concubine Zhe will always remind the emperor that he and his sister are not biologically related. Mother and son, his biological mother died in a lonely corner, but my sister became a great treasure because of him and enjoyed the dignity of the Queen Mother."

"It's such a huge difference, I'm afraid he and I will have deeper discord." Zhen Huan closed her eyes and sighed heavily, "That's fine, I have a queen to deal with the harem, so I don't have to worry about it." She handed the booklet to her. Little Yunzi on the side said lightly, "Go and tell the emperor that Ai Jiayun is here."

Xiao Yunzi held the booklet in both hands and took the order.

"I have found a good family for Liu Zhu. We will get married at the end of the year. You will have to add a dowry then." Zhen Huan put aside her troubles and talked about another happy event.

An Lingrong smiled with crooked eyebrows and said yes repeatedly.

After the status was decided, the relocation was started in full swing. The Queen lived in Changchun Palace, Concubine Hui and Haichang lived in Xianfu Palace, Concubine Xian lived in Yanxi Palace, Concubine Jia lived in Weiyang Palace, Concubine Chun and Concubine Chun lived together. Guiren Chen and Guiren Bai lived in Zhongcui Palace, while Concubine Zhe lived in Chengqian Palace, and Concubine Yi lived with her.However, just the day before moving into the palace, something big happened in the palace.

"Concubine Zhe accidentally fell into the water and gave birth to a stillborn child early, and then suffered from bleeding. News came this morning that she was dead." Dill was twisting An Lingrong's hair when Cui Jinxi walked in and said, "The emperor is very sad. , insisting on being buried as a noble concubine, the Queen Mother asked her servant to ask the Queen Mother, is this appropriate?"

An Lingrong looked at himself looking haggard in the mirror and rubbed his eyebrows: "Is it an accident or man-made?"

"Only concubine Yi was present at that time." Cui Jinxi lowered her eyes and replied softly.

An Lingrong raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue.

"Concubine Yi defended herself and said that she had nothing to do with the matter. She was just accompanying Concubine Zhe to relax. She also said that Concubine Zhe was hysterical and jumped over the railing into the lake." Cui Jinxi said, "The emperor naturally doesn't believe it. With her words, she was about to be demoted to a commoner and condemned to death, but it was after Chang Zai's persuasion that she asked Concubine Yi to commit suicide to apologize, so as not to implicate her family."

"Hai Changzai?" An Lingrong looked up in surprise.

An Lingrong still found it a little strange that this Kelliet family was the first to enter the palace, but was granted the lowest status this time. Now that he heard that she could persuade the angry emperor to change his mind, An Lingrong felt even more strange.Who is this Haichangzai?

"Yes, the emperor only said that Concubine Yi and Concubine Zhe had a deep relationship. After Concubine Zhe died, he went with her and was buried according to the concubine ceremony." Cui Jinxi added, "The Queen Mother said that Hai Chang is here The general rule is very clear. The current period is special. If the concubines cause a scandal before they enter the palace, it will be tantamount to tarnishing the royal family's face. There is not much to say about the concubine Yi. It's just that Fucha Gege's title of Zhefei is arrogant. , if she is buried as a noble concubine again, I am afraid that the previous court will criticize her."

"Sister is thoughtful, and the Ai family thinks the same way." An Lingrong suppressed her doubts for the time being, and returned to business, "Dill, go to the Yangxin Hall in person and tell the emperor, just say what the Ai family means, Fu Cha Princess has just been granted the title of Concubine Zhe. If it is not appropriate to be promoted to Imperial Concubine again, it is better to wait for a few years until the previous dynasty and the harem are stable, and then it is not too late to pursue the title."

"Yes." Dill responded and retreated, and Cui Jinxi also took the opportunity to retreat.

An Lingrong walked to the courtyard holding Daukou's hand. The hibiscus flowers in Weiyang Palace had been transplanted by the emperor. They were now in bloom, and the branches were covered with flower buds one after another, which was very beautiful.

"The women in the palace are like flowers, blooming one after another. The Ai family is getting old." An Lingrong laughed twice at himself, "Look at these newcomers, each one is more powerful than the last."

"Queen Mother, you are not yet thirty, you are already old, and my slaves still look at you the same as before." Daukou said slowly, "The dynasty has changed, and the Queen Mother only cares about the Eighth Prince and the two princesses to live a peaceful life. "

"Have there ever been peaceful days in this palace?" An Lingrong laughed and shook his head, "Let's see, there will be trouble in the future." Her eyes were deep, looking at the buds on the branches, but she was worried. Heavy.

Perhaps the emperor hid it too deeply, and now that he has just ascended the throne, he refutes his sister's wishes one after another. It seems that it is for the sake of Concubine Zhe, but in fact it is for his biological mother, not the women in the palace. If the empress dowager and the emperor have a heart-to-heart relationship, A rift is a big deal.An Lingrong frowned tightly, always feeling uneasy.

And soon, such uneasiness became a reality.

Jungar envoys came to Beijing to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne, and asked for the marriage of their new khan, Dorza, the Qing princess, Longyue. (End of chapter)
