The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

Chapter 67.Lunar New Year's eve

In the courtyard, the empress and the concubines of all the palaces stood in a pile. After the empress dowager issued an order to let them enter the palace for an audience, all the people entered the main hall of Shoukang Palace in an orderly manner.

After entering the palace, everyone met one by one according to their rank, and the empress dowager's attitude towards everyone was obviously different.He is close and polite to the empress, speaks softly to the concubine Hua, only talks about the third elder brother to the concubine Qi, alienates the concubine Jing, and smiles all over the concubine Hui, and talks for a long time until the position of nobleman Please be safe, Shen Meizhuang is still dragged to stand beside the Queen Mother.

"I wish the queen mother a healthy body and good fortune forever." Cao Guiren, Fucha nobleman and Zhen Huan saluted in unison.

The Empress Dowager mistakenly looked at Zhen Huan, who was kneeling behind, and said, "It's been a long time since you saw the nobleman, please raise your head and let the Ai family take a look."

Zhen Huan heard the words and looked up at the Queen Mother.

alike.The queen mother nodded secretly, thinking of the emperor's previous protection of Zhen Huan, and seeing Zhen Huan approaching to salute again cleverly, she made up her mind.Based on her appearance and temperament, she may be able to share the emperor's favor, so that the emperor does not favor only one person, so he deliberately praised her, saying: "She is a sensible child. No wonder the emperor likes you, and Aijia also likes you. Then Zhu Xi took two brocades and gave them to her, "Can you write?"

"Young man from Guan is very kind, and he also understands poetry and books." The queen thought that the queen mother really liked Zhen Huan, so she deliberately mentioned that Zhen Huan was proficient in poetry and books. Mouth.

The queen mother really gave the queen a displeased look, but she didn't praise Zhen Huan because she liked Zhen Huan, so she ignored the queen, and only heard Zhen Huan humbly say that her handwriting was poor, she chuckled and said: "I will You can come to Shoukang Palace to accompany Aijia when you have time, and copy the scriptures for Aijia.” Fu patted Shen Meizhuang’s hand again, “Concubine Hui has been busy with the affairs of the Six Palaces recently, and there is no one around Aijia who can read the scriptures.” Speaker."

"The queen mother is strange that the ministers and concubines have served less recently. It just so happens that sister Wan can serve the queen mother more for the ministers and concubines. It can be regarded as our sisters' filial piety to the queen mother together."

The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing, and raised her finger to point at her: "You'd rather be lazy."

"As long as the queen mother doesn't dislike the concubines, the concubines are willing to serve the queen mother wholeheartedly." Zhen Huan agreed with downcast eyes, while the expressions of the other concubines were different, especially the queen and concubine Hua.

Seeing that her eye drops did not dissuade the queen mother from liking Zhen Huan, the queen immediately understood that the queen mother's original intention was not to flatter Zhen Huan, so she smiled reassuringly, and still put on the queen's virtuous and decent airs.Concubine Hua was not so happy. She thought that she had given so many good things to the queen mother back and forth, but in the end she still made Zhen Huan lose face in front of the queen mother, so she couldn't help but sink her face.

After the meeting, Zhen Huan didn't go back to Broken Yuxuan, and stayed in Shoukang Palace directly, copying Buddhist scriptures all afternoon.

At dusk, Zhen Huan walked out of Shoukang Palace rubbing her sore wrists, only to recall that the Queen Mother seemed to be beating her, thinking about what happened recently, she didn't understand why the Queen Mother suddenly attacked her, or maybe, Did he intend to teach her?
"Your Majesty Wan, my young master would like to invite you to the Chunxi Palace for a talk."

Zhen Huan stopped and looked, and it turned out to be Dill. Thinking about how she had been avoiding An Lingrong for almost three months, today she was directly blocked in front of her. No matter how difficult it is to evade, she could only answer: "Okay." He cares about comparing himself with An Lingrong, but he doesn't want to tear himself apart with An Lingrong. He knows that An Lingrong is far ahead of her, and a complete confrontation will be especially detrimental to her.What's more, there is always the friendship from the past.

The decoration of the Chunxi Hall was deserted, not even as gorgeous as the Suiyuxuan East Hall, and Zhen Huan breathed a sigh of relief.Taking advantage of An Lingrong's confinement and childbearing period, she almost completely occupied the emperor's favor, but even so, she always felt that she was not as important as An Lingrong in the emperor's heart. The temple is so simple and plain, somehow, a sense of superiority of victory wells up in my heart.

"Sister Rong, it's been a long time." Zhen Huan showed an affectionate smile to An Lingrong as always, and then sat down on the couch, "I'm feeling better. I heard that my sister's fetus is not stable. I worry about you every day. I was ill a while ago, and I was afraid that I would give you the anger of the illness, so I have not been able to see you, but seeing you today, I think it will be very good."

An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan's smile, and felt bitter in her heart: "My sister and I have separated."

Zhen Huan was taken aback for a moment, almost unable to maintain a smiling face: "Where did my sister start talking about this?"

"My sister didn't talk to me so politely before." An Lingrong lowered her eyes and sighed softly. After all, it was too late. She delayed looking for Zhen Huan until today. First of all, it was Zhen Huan who came to greet the queen mother, and there was no excuse for her Avoiding her is also because the person who is with Zhen Huan today is Cui Jinxi instead of Zhu Qing, and it is easier to talk, but I didn't expect that Zhu Qing broke through Zhen Huan's psychological defense so quickly and made her treat her So on guard.

Zhen Huan restrained her smile, fiddled with the tea cover lightly, and was silent for a long time before she opened her mouth: "My younger sister is highly valued by the emperor now, even I can't compare to it. Thinking about when she first entered the palace, my younger sister kept saying that the palace can't tolerate any kindness." The emperor's sincerity, women in the harem can only seek the emperor's favor, not love, but now I see, it is my sister who was sincere to the emperor first, and won the emperor's love. Why, my sister's words are only persuading others, not herself Is it?" She looked up at An Lingrong, her eyes complicated, "I'm just a mortal woman, I can't be as noble as my sister said, I treat the emperor like my husband-in-law, so I have to break my heart Come to him, don't ask for results, just ask the emperor to treat me in the same way. Sister Rong, just treat it as me who has failed you."

"Even..." An Lingrong stopped her mouth in a hurry, and swallowed the sentence "Even if the emperor only regards you as a substitute for Queen Chunyuan", she looked at Zhen Huan's decisive eyes, and suddenly realized that Zhuqing's The provocation was nothing but an external cause, the essential reason that really made their sisters renounced was that Zhen Huan fell in love with the emperor without hesitation just like in the previous life, and she couldn't stop it.An Lingrong realized this, and his heart trembled a little, but he still said, "Then I can only tell my sister a few more words, don't favor the front, otherwise, not to mention the concubine Hua, even the queen and queen mother will not be able to tolerate it." My sister's. I still hope my sister, Wan Zi cherishes it."

Zhen Huan suddenly came to a sudden, thinking that maybe the queen mother treated her like this today is because she has been too fond of the emperor recently.After hesitating for a while, he thanked An Lingrong in a low voice.

Seeing Zhen Huan's leaving back, An Lingrong felt mixed feelings, and could not help feeling a little bit more resentful towards the emperor.

Okay, what are you doing to her so much!
Compared with the emperor, An Lingrong puts more emphasis on the sisterhood with Zhen Huan. She finally got closer to Zhen Huan in this life, and they really fell in love with each other. Hearing the decree from Xiao Xiazi saying that the emperor would come to see her in the morning or later, he lost his good mood, so he responded indifferently and perfunctorily, thinking that it was her sister Wan.

If the calculation is correct, sister Wan will be pregnant around February next year. If she can keep the child this time, maybe the emperor will still remember his affection for her sister so that she will not end up leaving the palace miserably.An Lingrong clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind.

"I saw how you lost weight again, didn't you eat well?" In the afternoon, the emperor came to see An Lingrong, holding her increasingly slender wrist, feeling a little distressed, "What do you want to eat, I have someone make it for you." You sent it here, it's very hard to be pregnant for ten months, you can't lose weight like this."

An Lingrong looked tired, not in the mood to talk to the emperor, and casually said that he wanted spicy food, the emperor immediately called Su Peisheng to give orders, and then told her various things in detail.

Cuiyin and Dill, who were standing aside, looked at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.Ninth Five-Year Supreme, where has there ever been such a humble time, some of An Lingrong's actions today can be regarded as disrespectful, but the emperor is accommodating her.Only Fen Ruo is not surprised. When Empress Chunyuan was pregnant, the emperor did this before. What's so strange about it.

After a while, An Lingrong raised some strength to deal with the emperor: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen Xia Chang in a few days. I don't know how she is now? I want to go and see her."

"She eats a lot, and she becomes more and more rounded, and she doesn't go out much on a daily basis. I look at her belly, which is bigger than when Concubine Qi was pregnant with her third elder brother." The emperor just visited Xia Dongchun a few days ago , but I remember clearly, "The empress restrained her to eat earlier, and she almost starved to death, so she can only let her eat. Presumably, the child has been raised extremely strong."

An Lingrong's eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a light smile: "The day after tomorrow will be New Year's Eve, and my concubine will ask the emperor for a leave of absence, so I won't go to the night banquet in the palace. I just happen to go to see Xia Changzai, is it okay?" She pulled Holding the emperor's hand, she acted like a baby.

How could the emperor not obey, and he also told Fen Ruo to follow closely, and let someone carry the sedan chair over, so as not to catch the cold.

With the emperor's permission, An Lingrong was relieved, otherwise he would have to think of another excuse to gag the queen, and he was exhausted.

Blink of an eye is New Year's Eve.

The Empress Dowager is in much better health, and it is rare to attend the banquet. The King of Guojun was also present, and she talked about the trip to Bashu with the Empress Dowager: "My son went to the ancient plank road in Jiange Zitong, Li Bing's Dujiangyan, and Du Fu's Huanhua residence. " Hearing the Empress Dowager talking about Qianfoyan, she said again, "I know that the emperor's mother is thinking about Buddhism, and I have worshiped for the emperor's mother one by one." All docile, without the slightest ambition of a wolf.

The queen mother smiled lightly: "It's hard for you, a piece of filial piety." The smile was meaningful and contained too much deep meaning, "The road to Shu is difficult to go to the blue sky, you have worked hard this trip." After letting go of King Guo, the queen mother looked at Concubine Hua again , such a dazzling piece of gold, she couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to, "Concubine Hua's dress is not bad, even though Aijia has bad eyesight, she still thinks it is dazzling."

Everyone looked at Concubine Hua in unison.

Concubine Hua smiled sweetly: "The Empress Dowager rewarded the bu yao, and the concubine thought that some good clothes would complement each other, so I asked the Embroidery Court to make a few new ones." Zhai made it, and it cost three cents more than the set at Qingyin Pavilion last time.

"What kind of clothes go with what jewelry, I see that the silk flowers on Concubine Hua's hairpin are also very valuable." The queen pointed out that Concubine Hua's jewelry is also very expensive.

Concubine Hua didn't realize that there was something wrong with the queen's words, but she showed off vigorously: "The silk flowers in the hairpins in the palace are all made of silk and satin, although they are beautiful, they are easy to perish. Yes." While speaking, she glanced at the emperor twice, seeing him also looking over, she couldn't help but feel even more proud.Although it is frugal, which man doesn't want his woman to sit on the side to be dazzling and to fight for face for himself?Hearing the queen's words and blaming her for the huge expense, Concubine Hua turned cold and said in a choked voice, "The concubine's family has some subsidies anyway, so there is no need to spend money from the palace."

"It's good to have a good natal family like Concubine Hua, so you don't have to live on the monthly bill." The queen said with a light smile, and she caught a glimpse of the emperor and the queen mother's face from the corner of her eye, so she stopped talking .

Concubine Hua heard the empress' bad intentions, and said with a smile: "No matter how good the concubine's natal family is, it will be appreciated by the emperor."

"Nian Gengyao is just a younger sister like you. Naturally, whatever I rewarded him, he would subsidize it for you." The emperor said lightly, and the queen mother just sneered when she heard the words.

Seeing the Empress Dowager's impatience, Zhu Xi quickly found an excuse to let the Empress Dowager leave the table first.

Sitting in his seat, Cao Qinmo felt a tremor in his heart as he watched the Empress Dowager walking away from the banquet slowly.I never noticed these details before, but now I stepped out of Concubine Hua's circle and looked at Concubine Hua as an outsider, I just felt that every word and every word she said was stepping on the emperor's bottom line, and she didn't even feel that she was wrong.Now the emperor pursues frugality, not only in the harem, even if Concubine Hua's expenses come from Nian's family, it can't cover up her extravagant and wasteful behavior!What's more, he told the emperor clearly that the Nian family's actions were contrary to the emperor's, and the entire Nian family was generous.

Cao Qinmo patted her chest with lingering fear, and suddenly felt that it was the right decision for her to fall to An Lingrong. Even if An Lingrong didn't help her become a concubine and concubine in the end, she and Concubine Hua drew a clear line. She can't fight for a high position on her own - only An Lingrong told her about Huan Yixiang, which made her see the situation clearly, and Cao Qinmo also accepted her sympathy and wrote it down.

　who!who!Who is so disobedient and rewarded again!I don't want to add more T^T...
