The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

Chapter 47.obstruct

Zhen Huan was sitting withered in Bitong Academy. When An Lingrong came in, she saw the beauty crying. The moonlight was full of broken beauty. She held a hairpin tightly in her hand, and tears fell on it drop by drop. .

"Sister," An Lingrong stepped forward and called her name, "Alright, why did this happen suddenly?"

Zhen Huan choked up and said: "After you left that day, Yuyin knew that she would not live long, so she told me a lot..."

……

"Eldest sister, I know that I was so wrong. I listened to Cao Guiren's slander and separated from elder sister. I blamed my petty nature. I was jealous of elder sister's favor and brought glory to the Zhen family. On the other hand, I did nothing. It’s just that I have evil thoughts.” Zhen Yuyin talked about her first meeting with Cao Guiren, “That day, I heard the elder sister and the emperor talk about my father’s cough, and I remembered that my mother could not step into the Zhen’s house openly until she died. Burning paper money in the Imperial Garden, Cao Guiren saw me, I panicked, and she took out the blame, but seeing that she didn't threaten this matter, she only said to give me a chance to get ahead."

Zhen Yuyin burst into tears with regret: "I was confused by lard, so I went astray step by step. Concubine Hua first gave me the Lost Soul Incense to use in the elder sister's room, and then gave the jade girl powder to let me go astray. Take good care of my skin, and wait for the day when the emperor takes a fancy to me, she will help me ask for a position, and she also said that in this way, I can continue to be favored like my eldest sister. Only when I really became a young master did I know that this road is so difficult." She talked about the days when she was favored and fell out of favor, "At first, the emperor was still interested in me, but it was only interested. , the emperor only asks the eldest sister, I am not reconciled, but I have to follow the emperor's wishes. At that time, everyone thought that I was favored, treated me well, and flattered me, but turned around, the emperor did not favor me. I can't wait to step on me in the mud, Song Zhi who is next to Concubine Hua treats me like an animal, let alone other people."

"Since I disfigured and returned to my eldest sister, I have not regretted it for a day, but I am still stubborn, refusing to bow my head and admit my mistake to my elder sister. Now that I know that my time is numbered, I am afraid that if I don't say these words, I will not have the opportunity to be with my elder sister." Sister said it." Zhen Yuyin knelt down to Zhen Huan, kowtowed and admitted her mistake, "Elder Sister, I really know I was wrong, but the matter has come to this point, and I have no way out." She cried pitifully, her face full of tears. Tears, "Eldest sister, all this is my fault, I am willing to die, and please don't tell father..."

……

"I should have seen it, she had the intention of going to death at that time." Zhen Huan burst into tears, with strong hatred in her eyes, "Concubine Hua, I will definitely remember it well!"

An Lingrong didn't know how to persuade her, so she could only pat Zhen Huan on the back, sighed, and said, "The emperor is afraid that he will restore Concubine Hua to assist the power of the Six Palaces." Seeing Zhen Huan looking over, he said, "I heard that Nian Gengyao was victorious in the Northwest War. Nian Gengyao defeated the enemy army and made great achievements. He will return to the imperial court soon. No matter what, the emperor must take care of his face and give Concubine Hua a favor. After all, Concubine Hua It’s been almost a year since the power of Assistant Manager Liugong was withdrawn.”

Zhen Huan wiped away her tears: "It would be great if it could be delayed a little longer." She calculated intently, "Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, which is unlucky, and then it will be Mid-Autumn Festival, and then New Year's Eve. It is not appropriate to seal the new year. Next year, time will allow us to slowly plan." Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong and said, "Sister Rong, I want to take care of Yuyin's funeral, so I don't want to talk too much with the emperor, but I will bother you to talk to the emperor. Talk about it."

"Okay, I see." An Lingrong nodded in response.

Back in Xinghua Village, An Lingrong thought all night, how to talk to the emperor.

"What are you thinking, little master?" Cardamom came in with water, seeing An Lingrong sitting on the couch in a daze, she couldn't help asking.

An Lingrong thought for a while, and asked her: "Doukou, if there is one thing you don't want to let happen, and the person who can decide this matter is someone you respect and love, what would you say?"

Cardamom blinked: "The servant will definitely tell the young master directly."

An Lingrong was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "You little girl." This means that the person she respects and loves is herself.

"I just think that since you are someone you love, you should always explain what you have to say, so as to avoid guesswork and misunderstandings." Cardamom is young and simple-minded, but she speaks clearly.

When Dill came in, she happened to hear these remarks, and immediately patted her, looked at An Lingrong and said, "The young master is thinking about how to tell the emperor about Concubine Hua tomorrow, right?" Seeing that An Lingrong nodded, She came up with an idea, "The servant looks at the emperor and likes the young master very much. In this matter, the young master might as well tell the emperor what is in his heart."

Do you mean it?

An Lingrong fell asleep full of thoughts.

In the afternoon of the next day, the emperor announced that An Lingrong would serve in front of the imperial court. An Lingrong took the food he had prepared early in the morning and walked all the way to the Hall of Qinzheng.

"I went to eat breakfast with the nobleman in Guan this morning, and saw her crying so sadly." The emperor sat cross-legged on the couch, lowered his head and sighed, not in high spirits, "I am very depressed, come here and rub it for me. rub."

An Lingrong put down the food box, took off the armor, took off his shoes and knelt behind the emperor, and the emperor took advantage of the situation and lay down, closing his eyes and taking a nap.

He enjoys such a comfortable time. Whenever he has a headache, the emperor likes to lie on An Lingrong's lap, listen to her sing nursery rhymes, bathe in the sun, feel the strength of her fingers on her temples, and the fragrance emitted from her body , all of this was just right, like a ball of warm water wrapped him from head to toe.

Very comfortable.

"The emperor didn't sleep for a short time today, is there something on your mind?" An Lingrong looked at the time, only half an hour had passed.

The emperor hummed and didn't get up, so he lay down and asked An Lingrong: "I'm quite embarrassed about something, and I want to ask you what you mean." Seeing An Lingrong blinking in a daze, he said, "I intend to reply to you." Concubine Hua is in charge of the power of the Six Palaces, what do you think?"

An Lingrong didn't expect the emperor to ask so bluntly, he was stunned for a moment before he realized: "The emperor can decide on this matter, why ask the concubines?"

"When we had breakfast today, I asked Mrs. Guan, and she talked a lot, and I think it is very reasonable." The emperor played with An Lingrong's fingers and said casually, "But I still think about it, ask you."

"Your Majesty, my concubine doesn't like Concubine Hua." An Lingrong pouted softly and said with a little temper.

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, never expecting to hear this answer, sat up, and asked seriously: "Why don't you like her?"

"Why does my concubine like her?" An Lingrong asked the emperor back, tilting her head, "When my concubine first entered the palace, she thought she would look at her differently and tried to please her everywhere, but as a result, my concubine almost died. And the goose from that day The fragrance in the pear tent..." An Lingrong suddenly pursed his lips to silence his voice, and muttered, "Anyway, my concubine doesn't like her."

"Okay." Thinking of the love that day, the emperor also nodded clearly, "I will return to the capital in a while, and I thought about the cumbersome things, so I remembered this matter. The empress has bothered you a lot." After speaking, he pinched An Lingrong's face with a smile, "My Rong'er is rarely so angry, she is really endearing."

An Lingrong blushed: "The emperor made fun of the courtiers and concubines again." Then he said, "Elder sister Mei is also in good health, why don't the emperor let her help the empress with chores? My sister was also very handy before. .”

The emperor hesitated.

Originally, he wanted to suppress Concubine Hua, so that Shenmeizhuang learned how to assist the Sixth Palace. Now that Gengyao has contributed a lot to pacifying the Northwest this year, if he skips Concubine Hua and lets Shenmeizhuang assist the Sixth Palace, it may cause unnecessary trouble .He frowned, and said: "Mr. Huigui suddenly had a miscarriage. I asked Imperial Physician Zhang. In order to avoid the root cause of the disease, it is better to sit for a full month."

Sister Mei must have asked for this.

An Lingrong understood it, so he just smiled and said: "The Empress is familiar with the affairs of the Six Palaces, so I think there won't be any mistakes."

"Your Majesty Guan also said so." The emperor patted An Lingrong's hand and sat up, "What delicious food did you bring me?"

"The emperor said yesterday that Babao sweet cheese is too sweet, and my concubine specially made two salty snacks today." An Lingrong got up and opened the food box, and took out a plate of delicate shortbread, each of which was as small and exquisite as a copper coin. A little bigger, but delicately printed with flowers, she twisted one up and brought it to the emperor's mouth, "This is the golden cream cake newly made by my concubine, which is filled with mashed pork breast and embedded with a mouthful of jelly. Good soup ingredients, one mouthful, delicious and crispy, what does the emperor think?"

The emperor ate two in a row, and kept nodding: "Rong'er's craftsmanship is really excellent." Then, he took the soup bowl handed over by An Lingrong, and took a sip of the smooth bean curd. I want to take this bite, but I'm afraid I'll tire you."

"When the emperor eats happily, the ministers and concubines will be happy too, so why would they feel tired?" An Lingrong looked at the emperor with his chin propped up, his brows and eyes crooked with a smile.

For a time, the affection was strong.

And when Concubine Hua learned that there was no hope of restoring her right to assist the Six Palaces, she became angry again, and was finally persuaded by Song Zhi: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, since the Emperor intends to restore your right to assist the Six Palaces, Don't be afraid to wait a little longer, if nobleman Guan can obstruct once, can he obstruct twice? Now that the generals have won successive battles this year, the emperor is too happy, so naturally he feels sorry for the empress."

"So what if the emperor doesn't allow my palace to assist the sixth palace this time? If the emperor allows this time, it's probably because of my brother and not my palace." Concubine Hua has been sleeping in bed for the past few days, thinking that she and the emperor are only affectionate. Suspicious, now he is happy after being persuaded, "The emperor doesn't allow it, so I can treat my palace well. It's really because of the deep love between husband and wife for many years, not the care of relatives."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt so, Concubine Hua slowly raised a smile.

This incident was like a pebble falling into the water, causing only ripples, and then the calm and calm returned, as if it had never happened before. It was not as eye-catching as Zhen Yuyin's death.

Knowing that Zhen Yuyin accidentally fell into the water and drowned, Xia Dongchun was so frightened that he didn't sleep well for several days. He dreamed that he was murdered by someone, and the child in his stomach was not kept.

Xia Dongchun remembered An Lingrong's kindness to her, but the queen saw her very strictly, let alone seeing people, she couldn't even see a cat or a dog, let alone go out by herself.

"My lord, eat slowly. You don't have to go in so fast. Be careful of choking." Shuanghua looked at Xia Dongchun's figure worriedly, and couldn't help but persuade her, "When Mrs. Huigui was two months pregnant, her stature I don't see any growth, but you have gained a lot of weight, my lord. If you go to full-term delivery, I'm afraid you won't be able to regain your figure."

"But I just feel so hungry that I can't help but want to eat." Xia Dongchun's mouth was stuffed and his words were slurred.

Maple Leaf said from the side: "The young master is eating for two people now, what's the matter with getting more? Maybe he is a big fat boy."

Shuanghua frowned tightly, but couldn't say anything more.Feng Ye was dispatched by the palace to serve the young master, seeing her and Jian Qiu's enthusiasm on weekdays, she might be someone who was trained by the empress.

After a full meal, Xia Dongchun leaned on the couch with his round belly, looked at the square sky outside the window, and suddenly became sad: "When will the emperor release my restraint? I am so bored in the palace every day. It's going to be boring." She couldn't help thinking of Zhen Yuyin's arrival, and her back felt chills again, and after sending Fengye out, she whispered to Shuanghua, "I know Ronggui often talks to you in private, you should find a way to send a message out , let Rong'er come to see me."
