The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

"My lord, take a rest, your eyes hurt after doing needlework for a long time." Cuiyin will take care of her for more than half a month, her injuries have healed, and she hastily came to take care of An Lingrong.With such a shared adversity, Cuiyin became more and more friendly to An Lingrong, "It's only been two months now, it's still too early to use this bellyband."

An Lingrong rested his eyes, and said with a smile: "You don't know, children grow up fast, and they will grow up in a while, so I have to take advantage of the free time to embroider more, when the child falls to the ground, there will be no time to embroider these. She touched the tiger's head on her bellyband and smiled lovingly, "My child must be dressed beautifully from birth." But she also listened to Cuiyin's words, put down her needlework for the time being, and glanced at it. The snow that had not yet melted outside the door suddenly remembered, "Tomorrow will be Laba. Sister Mei will hold the canonization ceremony today. Let Dill go to the warehouse to pick some good ones and send them to Chuxiu Palace for me."

Cuiyin leaned over to answer, and then said: "Xia Changzai is almost eight months pregnant, I heard Mrs. Xia handed over a sign today to come in for a visit."

An Lingrong was slightly stunned: "Is it Xia Changzai's mother?" She remembered that Xia Dongchun was a concubine.

"No, it's Mrs. Xia's first wife, Xia Changzai's aunt." Cuiyin shook her head and said, "When Dou Kou went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to receive the New Year's reward this morning, I saw a woman in Jifu walking away from afar. Entering Jingren Palace, judging by her attire, she should be Mrs. Xia, with a serious complexion, she looks like a very difficult elder to get along with."

"Xia Changzai's pregnancy was only eight months around the Lantern Festival. Mrs. Xia entered the palace today, and I'm afraid she came to sniff out the news." An Lingrong thought for a while, and gathered the rabbit fur blanket on her body, "They all said Xia Changzai When I was at home, I was loved by my father and brother. I never mentioned Mrs. Xia, and I thought she didn’t like her. Forget about her, go get me a bowl of jade soybean milk. My mouth feels bitter, and I always want to Eat something sweet."

After getting up in the morning and throwing up, An Lingrong still feels uncomfortable in his mouth.

Cuiyin responded and went down, but unexpectedly Dill came in to reply, saying that Mrs. Xia came to see her.

An Lingrong froze for a moment, although he felt strange, he still let her in.

"Concubine Xu has met Rong and agreed." After Madam Xia came in, she did not despise An Lingrong because of her low status, but gave her a big gift, and after An Lingrong called out, she sat down On the small stool under the couch, she raised her eyes to look at An Lingrong, trying to show a little smile on her serious face, "I heard from Chun'er that Rong promised, she is the kindest person in the palace. I have seen it personally." , as expected."

It can be heard that Mrs. Xia is a person who does not flatter, she said something dryly and then stopped talking, and An Lingrong didn't care, she saw that Mrs. Xia was not interested in drinking, so she asked: "Madam and I I don't know each other before, I don't know why you came to me suddenly today?" Seeing that she was still a little hesitant, she said, "I was just a small promise, and now in this palace, the most favored is the nobleman, and the most powerful is the Concubine Hui, the most powerful is Concubine Hua, and the most honorable is Empress Empress, if you want something, Madam should go to them."

Mrs. Xia's face twitched, and it took a while before she sighed deeply, and said slowly: "Before entering the palace, I told Chun'er that the palace is no better than home, and we must be careful at all times, so as not to lose She is out of proportion, and she can't do anything out of line. She refuses to listen, relying on the fact that the adults love her all the time and are lawless in the palace. In the past, there were always news that she was grounded every few days, and the concubine's life was in constant concern. Fortunately, I met you." Mrs. Xia's eyes showed a sense of gratitude, "Chun'er and my concubine have said a lot about you. I am really grateful. Chun'er was in a difficult situation at that time, my lord He even said that if Chun'er is not favored like this again, let the daughter of the side branch of the Xia family come into the palace to take her place. At that time, the concubine was really afraid. Although Chun'er was not born by the concubine, she raised her since childhood. Under the concubine's knees, I naturally hope that she will be safe for the rest of her life."

An Lingrong's mood was a little complicated.

People in this world really can't look at the surface.It is rumored that Xia Wei, who loves Xia Dongchun very much, would easily abandon his daughter for the sake of family glory, but Mrs. Xia, who seems to be particularly difficult to get along with, is doing her best for this daughter who is not her own, even if she is not an emotional woman. Still can't hide the heart of her beloved daughter.

Even Xia Dongchun was pregnant, Xia Wei was happy that their Xia family might welcome a prince, but Mrs. Xia was worried whether this child would kill Xia Dongchun.

"My concubine went to see Chun'er in the palace today, and my heart really hurts." Mrs. Xia talked about Xia Dongchun again, "That child has been innocent since he was a child, and he didn't know that he was tortured this time. He only cared about being afraid every day. This is only eight In less than a month, I can see that the belly is almost as big as that of a pregnant woman, but I wonder how big this child will be, and how dangerous it will be on the day of delivery?" She looked at An Lingrong and begged, "Chun As I said, she only trusts you, young master, in this palace, and I have the cheek to come to see you today because I want to ask young master to save Chun'er's life."

With that said, Mrs. Xia stood up and bowed again.

An Lingrong quickly asked Cuiyin to help her up, struggling in her heart, but she couldn't bear Mrs. Xia's expectant gaze, so she finally nodded slowly.She couldn't refuse a mother's deep request, Mrs. Xia reminded her of her own mother, An Lingrong couldn't help but soften her heart.

After sending off Mrs. Xia, An Lingrong was silent for a long time before letting Cuiyin avoid people to ask Mrs. Wen who was going to deliver Xia Dongchun's baby.

After leaving the Chunxi Hall and walking out of the Forbidden City, Mrs. Xia immediately changed her expression after getting into the carriage, and spat out with disgust on her face: "What kind of stinky girl from a small family can afford my lady?" Looking at her aloof appearance, she thought she was so great, but it was just a promise rejected by the emperor, and she dared to take Joe in front of Mrs. Ben."

The nanny who was following her flattered her a few words, and then asked the most important thing about entering the palace today: "Madam, can you explain the matter clearly to the empress?"

"Of course everything has been properly arranged. I look at the empress and wish that no one from our family will enter the palace." Mrs. Xia leaned back in a more comfortable position, frowned and clicked her tongue, "I don't know what sinister crime has been committed this year. The plague is coming, my lord got the news early, let us all prepare to stock up the medicines, and don't move around easily in the near future, if I don't think about entering the palace in the first month, I don't want to come out today " She was holding a hand-warmer, and her eyes were full of disgust, "I think the fifth girl is unlucky, and she will definitely have a difficult delivery. If she dies, the prince will be far away from our Xia family for a long time. Even if I pick another daughter from a side branch and send it to the palace, it may not be able to achieve friendship, it's better for her to live well."

Madam Xia knows which one is better to control, a mature puppet or a newcomer who is not from the same family and may have whimsical ideas, and Madam Xia knows it all without thinking about it. Who can't she please in the palace, so she's going to burn a small promised cold stove?

Mrs. Xia glanced at the Dong'e Ejiao that An Lingronglin gave her before leaving the door, and threw it to the nanny with a casual flick.

An Lingrong in the palace didn't know at all that in order to save Xia Dongchun, he even quarreled with Fen Ruo, but in the end he couldn't hold back An Lingrong, and Fen Ruo finally backed down: "If the young master fails this time, we must not Expose yourself and put yourself in a dangerous situation, otherwise, the servant will definitely push Xia Changzai to protect the young master!"

Seeing Fenruo let go, An Lingrong also backed down and promised to protect herself.

She spent a lot of money to buy off Nanny Zheng and Nanny Zhou, and carefully asked Xia Dongchun about the situations that she might encounter during childbirth. Immediately activated, maybe the mother and child can be kept safe, the other also nodded quickly, saying that although premature delivery is more difficult, they are sure.

An Lingrong frowned and thought for a while: "Since this is the case, then without delay, we will launch it on New Year's Eve. Is it possible?"

Nanny Zheng and Nanny Zhou are veterans who have delivered babies for decades, so they naturally have a way to get Xia Dongchun to start giving birth earlier. They touched the 100 taels of silver bills hidden in their chests, squinting and smiling so hard that they could only see teeth. , nodding again and again.

"If the two nuns do well, they will naturally remember them when I give birth in the future. At that time, the rewards will only be more than now." An Lingrong looked at the two of them and said with a smile "However, I also want to remind you two, don't lose your composure, and forget what you should say and what you shouldn't say when you see it. Although my status is not high, I am the one who made you two disappear in the palace without a sound." I still have the ability, can you remember clearly? Huh?"

An Lingrong made a nasal sound, which made Nanny Zheng and Nanny Zhou startled, and said in repeated voices: "Yes, yes, slaves understand." The Queen's reward for them was only two or thirty taels, and the one in front of her gave it to her. But it is more than three or four times higher, what's more, the empress only wants them to take care of the emperor's heir, and she can abandon the lord if necessary, and this young master Rong only wants to keep the lord as much as possible. No matter what, they are all earning money. Anyway, there is no offense at both ends, so why not do it?

Nanny Zheng and Nanny Zhou left happily.

An Ling had something on her mind, but for some reason, she couldn't feel at ease at all. She always felt that the queen still had something to do, but when she was giving birth, where else could she do it besides Wen Po?

"My lord has been tired all day, it's time to take some medicine." Fen Ruo came in with a serious face, carrying the tonic.

An Lingrong looked at Fen Ruo's darkened face, smiled flatteringly, and drank the medicine in one gulp: "Auntie, don't be angry, I'm going to lie down and rest now."

Fen Ruo's face looked better now.

The next day was Laba, and all the palaces would pay their respects to the Queen Mother. Not three months had passed since An Lingrong came to pass on the words of the Queen Mother early in the morning: "The snow has stopped these few days, and when it is the coldest, the Queen Mother Gu Nian's body has not yet recovered, so I asked my servants to come and let me know, and I hope that you don't have to go to the palace this morning."

An Lingrong knew that it was the queen mother who was still angry with her, and did not want to defend herself, so she presented a copy of the "Baohua Jing" handwritten by herself to show her filial piety.

"She's really cute." The queen mother glanced at the scriptures, and snorted and laughed, "During this time, Ai's family has been holding the emperor, not allowing them to meet, but the emperor didn't say anything, and only asked Su Peisheng to tell Fen Ruo to live a good life from time to time. Take care, so caring, the Ai family can see a bit of what the emperor used to look like." I don't know what was thought of, the Queen Mother's eyes hurt slightly, "If..."

"Rong promised to be sincerely filial to the Empress Dowager. In the days since she moved in, apart from being weak and unable to get out of bed at the beginning, she has been asking her about her health every day. The Empress Dowager looks at the forehead wipes, hand warmers, shoes and socks, and many stitches. Well, there is also the Golden Soup and Laoya Soup delivered by the one yesterday, the oily flakes are clean, and the bird’s nest and cod fish soup delivered by the previous one is fresh, salty and delicious, and the slaves look at the Queen Mother eating it sweetly, which shows her hard work." Bamboo breathing was in his eyes, and when he saw that the queen mother had softened a little, she began to persuade, "The queen mother advises the emperor not to vent your anger on the concubine Hua, and the slave girl said that the queen mother should not vent her anger on the promise, she knows that she has been demoted After I agreed, I didn’t complain a word, and I am an honest child.”

The queen mother spat at her: "You old man, you took something good from her and helped her talk like this." But when she said this, her tone softened a lot, "It's hard for her, I've been pregnant for more than two months, I didn't even have a good word with the emperor. Forget it, you go and talk to Su Peisheng, and Rong promised to let the emperor go and see her." At the end, he added, "Let's just say it was from the Ai family."

It's not all because of An Lingrong, the emperor really accommodated the empress dowager's temper this time, if it was the usual, even if he was polite on the surface, he would still be angry in his heart, he would definitely not be as respectful as he is now.

"Yes." Zhu Xi hurriedly smiled and went.

The Empress Dowager sighed inwardly while drinking the tea that the Emperor had just sent yesterday.I thought that Chun Yuan's position in the emperor's heart could not be replaced by anyone, but I didn't expect that An Lingrong would appear today. As an emperor, I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse to love someone so much.Thinking of this, the queen mother was worried again, and suddenly thought of another person.
