The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

Long Kedo wanted to say something, but Su Peisheng hurried in and passed on: "Your Majesty, Mr. Rong came with Chun Changzai, saying that he has something important to report to the Emperor. The servant said that the Emperor is discussing with the two adults. It's an important matter, but Mr. Rong said that the matter is of great importance and must be reported to the emperor immediately." He looked worried, "Your Majesty, Mr. Rong is waiting outside with a big belly and refuses to leave no matter what, do you think you should go first?" Let her sit in the side hall?"

"What's going on?" The emperor got up immediately, and walked out without saying a word.

In April, the sun was not too high, but An Lingrong stood there for a long time, and when the emperor came out to pick her up, his face was already pale.

"Why do you need to see me in such a hurry? Let someone come over and tell me that I will go to your place tonight." The emperor hurriedly asked someone to announce the imperial physician, but An Lingrong held down his hand.

An Lingrong's expression was unusually solemn. She saw that Long Kedo and Zhang Tingyu were about to leave, she got up to stop them, and then pulled Chun Changzai to make a big gift to the emperor: "Your Majesty, my concubine knows that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. , but this matter is too involved, and my concubines dare not hide anything, so I boldly speak to the emperor, and ask the emperor to forgive my concubine and Chun Changzai for the crime of meddling in politics."

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the emperor raised his hand to make An Lingrong and Chunchang stand up, and asked Su Peisheng to set up a screen in the side hall, and Longkoduo and Zhang Tingyu led them to obey orders outside the screen.

"Chun'er, don't be afraid of anything in front of the emperor, tell the emperor what you see and hear." An Lingrong sat down on the couch, already a little weak, but still held hands and encouraged Chunchang gas.

Chunchang took a look at An Lingrong, saw that her eyes were firm, and she had some confidence in her heart, knelt down before the emperor again, and told the whole story of what happened today.

After learning that An Lingrong had brought Chunchang into the Hall of Mental Cultivation and hadn't come out for almost an hour, Cao Qinmo couldn't help gloating in his heart, even if the maid came to say that Concubine Hua wanted to see her, she was gone The fear of the past.

As soon as she stepped into the main hall of Yikun Palace, a teacup hit Cao Qinmo's forehead. Immediately, a sharp pain came from her head, and she barely managed to hold back the expression on her face.

Concubine Hua's fury was within her expectation, Cao Qinmo quickly knelt down and said, "My lord, forgive me."

"Forgive your sin? How do you ask me to forgive your sin?" Concubine Hua's face changed with anger. She didn't care about her own image, and she was circling around like an ant on a hot pot in a hurry. On Cao Qinmo, "It's not what you said, what Chunchang is young and inexperienced, even if she knows it, she doesn't understand it, even if she understands it, she will take into account the power of this palace and her mother's family, and will definitely not sue the imperial court Go, you came up with a good idea, that little Hu Meizi entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the afternoon, and she hasn't come out yet!" Concubine Hua was still puzzled, and hurled and smashed several vases in front of Cao Qinmo.

"The concubine knows that she has made a mistake in her judgment, so please calm down." Cao Qinmo didn't expect Concubine Hua to be so angry. After weighing the balance, she carefully coaxed her first. The matter, the empress thinks carefully, what Chunchang heard today is only a few words, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, even if Chunchang went to report on the empress, the emperor would definitely not face her Discussing politics, she must have been kept in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for so long because of something else."

Concubine Hua was so angry that she had a headache, she calmed down, ignored Cao Qinmo's words, and didn't let her get up, she just sat down on the couch with Song Zhi's hand, held her head in silence for a long time, and then said: "Mr. It's becoming more and more difficult for the palace to use you, could it be that you have selfish intentions to deliberately trip up the palace?"

Cao Qinmo's heart skipped a beat: "Your Majesty, where did this start..."

Concubine Hua looked down at Cao Qinmo coldly, and didn't bother to guess her thoughts: "Remember, if I am convicted of this, I will definitely drag you to die first, and then your Wen Yi." She sneered Say, "Do you think that sick concubine Duan can protect your heart? Don't dream, she's been doing better recently, it's just that Bengong's finger joints are loosened so that she can breathe, you really think Have you climbed a tall branch by yourself?"

Cao Qinmo was startled suddenly, her heart was suddenly icy cold, her heart was at the moment when heaven and man were at war, the next moment, Concubine Hua's words sounded like thunder in her ears.

"Songzhi, go and tell the emperor that I have been pregnant for more than a month, and I just invited the imperial doctor to see it yesterday." Concubine Hua thought for a while, and decided to be on the safe side, taking advantage of the pregnancy to pick herself out first, "I Gong has not been pregnant for many years, the emperor will be very happy when he finds out."

Cao Qinmo knelt on the ground, his mind was in chaos.

Concubine Hua is pregnant?This is impossible, there is obviously a lot of musk in Huan Yixiang, and she has used it for so many years, her body has already broken down, how could she be pregnant again?

Could it be that she saw that things were not going well, and deliberately borrowed a "false pregnancy" to get rid of the crime?
Not only Cao Qinmo, but even the emperor had such doubts immediately after learning that Concubine Hua was pregnant: "Who gave Concubine Hua the pulse?"

"It's the Imperial Physician Zhou from the Imperial Hospital." Songzhi replied tenderly, "It was the Imperial Physician Zhou Nan who often came to Yikun Palace to ask for the Ping'an Pulse when the Empress was grounded earlier. The Empress saw that he was diligent and good at medicine, so I specially ordered it. He came to ask for a pulse."

The emperor glanced at An Lingrong and Chun Changzai who were sitting at the side, and waved Songzhi back.

"Concubine Hua is overjoyed, why isn't the emperor happy just looking at it?" An Lingrong lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes, and looked at the emperor with a smile, "But it's embarrassing because of what Caichun often said just now?"

The emperor didn't answer, just shook An Lingrong's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Concubine Hua, you shouldn't be pregnant."

An Lingrong blinked pretending to be puzzled: "I heard that the concubine Hua suffered a miscarriage four years ago, but for this? Maybe the new imperial doctor Zhou has better medical skills and healed the concubine Hua's old age. Maybe old injuries."

The emperor looked tired and did not speak.

He couldn't understand why Concubine Hua had no children for so many years, why she chose to "pregnant" at this time?If it is said that for the sake of favor, his love for Concubine Hua has always been the first in the palace. If it is said that it is for the sake of getting rid of crimes, what Chun Chang said today is just a sign, and Nian Gengyao recommended officials not once or twice. Concubine Hua made up such a lie on the basis of the crime of deceiving the emperor?

It has to be said that the emperor has over-interpreted the conspiracy theory, and Concubine Hua has dug a huge hole for herself.

There are such coincidences in the world.

"I heard that Nian Gengyao won a great victory over the Southwest, and the news of victory was just sent to the palace this morning." Zhen Huan got the latest news and invited An Lingrong to come to Chuxiu Palace to talk about it with Shen Meizhuang, "Just now I went to Yangxin Palace to pay my respects, Seeing that the emperor's expression is very bad, he is still muttering, so I don't know what he is talking about."

An Lingrong lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, then suddenly laughed out loud: "Sister, God helped us in this round." The smile in her eyes deepened, "Yesterday Concubine Hua only told the emperor that she was pregnant, but it happened that she was pregnant today. The news of Nian Gengyao's victory over Southwest, my sister thought, what would the emperor think?"

Zhen Huan was puzzled at first, and then came to a sudden: "Nian Gengyao's meritorious deeds are so great that if the young master ascends the throne, he can coerce the emperor to order the princes to change the dynasty. This is..." Zhen Huan fell silent and read two words silently.

Shen Meizhuang's eyes lit up, and he curled his lips into a smile: "So, it's a god-sent opportunity."

Concubine Hua is still happy, she is proud that the news of her pregnancy has shocked the Six Palaces, and on the other hand she is happy that her brother has made military achievements and her family has become more prosperous and prosperous, completely unaware that she is about to face a catastrophe.

Early in the morning, the Empress Dowager asked the emperor to come over and ask: "What is the emperor going to do with the child in Concubine Hua's belly?" She was saddened, they were all her grandchildren, and she really didn't want to say such a thing unless she had to. "The king must make the king's decision. This child must not be kept. Once the concubine Hua has a child, Nian Gengyao will definitely support this child to become the emperor. Once the day comes when the palace is forced, the Ai family and you will live together in safety." All gone."

The emperor lowered his head and said dully: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Concubine Hua is not pregnant at all." He raised his head, looked at the slightly astonished expression of the Empress Dowager, and said, "My son has already asked Zhou Nan whether Concubine Hua is pregnant." Eager to beg for a child, he privately asked someone to go outside the palace to find a herbal medicine called Bairi, and let him mix it with the anti-fectotoxicity medicine. After taking it for half a month, she had a pulse similar to pregnancy." He looked at the queen mother with burning eyes, " Empress, Nian Gengyao will definitely not stay."

The Empress Dowager also lowered her eyes, with a serious face: "Nian Gengyao's battle in the southwest, I am afraid that he has already won the victory, so he sent a letter to Concubine Hua in advance to let her make plans early. She only informed the emperor that she was pregnant for one month. Nian Gengyao's good news has arrived before the emperor's case, and the two brothers and sisters have a good understanding." The Queen Mother turned to look at Su Peisheng, "As the leader of the eunuchs, you are even more blind than Aijia. You don’t even know about private messages!”

"The servant deserves to die, please forgive me, the Queen Mother." Su Peisheng quickly knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty.

"Emperor Mother, don't blame him, it's my son who is blind and confused." There was endless coldness in the emperor's voice, "Recently Zhang Tingyu has repeatedly reminded his son to be careful of Nian Gengyao's disobedience. Seeing that he has worked hard and made great achievements, he is always soft-hearted, and he is so presumptuous today." After a pause, he continued, "Uncle Longkodo also told his son that Nian Gengyao meddled in the selection process of the imperial court. There are too many things, and my son didn't pay attention to it, which led to the fact that the palace and the palace are now cooperating to sell officials and nobles."

The queen mother was shocked when she heard this: "It is really wonderful to have military achievements on the frontier, and then the court's confidantes, and then the concubine of the harem to give birth to the emperor's heirs." I'm going to hand it over to the Nian family."

"If the ancestor's foundation is destroyed in the hands of the son, wouldn't the son become a sinner through the ages!" The emperor stared into the eyes of the queen mother and said every word.

"What does the emperor plan to do?" The queen mother knew the ins and outs of the matter, and she no longer felt soft-hearted towards Concubine Hua.

The emperor straightened up, raised his head and looked forward: "Since they are so urgent, I shall do what they wish."

At night, the emperor drives to Yikun Palace.

Concubine Hua got the news early in the morning, she dressed up specially, bowed to the emperor Yingying, her legs were only half bent, and the emperor took two quick steps to support her, her words revealed intimacy: "I will only be able to do this after reading the booklet in hand." Come here, is it too late?"

"As long as the emperor's heart is here, it's never too late." Concubine Hua smiled shyly, "The concubine is waiting for you."

The emperor took her hand and walked towards the bedroom step by step: "So I will come here no matter how late."

The servants withdrew one by one, leaving only Concubine Hua and the Emperor in the bedroom.

Concubine Hua personally helped the emperor change his clothes: "Your Majesty must be tired after reading the booklets all day, right?" She also served a cup of tea that had been brewed early and let it cool down.

The emperor took the teacup and pulled her to sit beside him: "I have come today and I have something to tell you." With lowered eyes, the emperor concealed the anger in his eyes and looked at Concubine Hua's stomach, "I know you are pregnant." I am very happy to be pregnant, for so many years, I have always remembered our unborn child, and now you have it again, very good."

Concubine Hua pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The concubine is also happy." She rubbed her belly and said longingly, "If it is a boy, the concubine will definitely let my brother teach him how to ride and shoot, and in the future I will fight in all directions and open up for the Qing Dynasty." Territory does its part."

The emperor's face twitched, his cheekbones became slightly stiff, and he spoke after a while: "He's only been a month old, it's too early to say this."

Concubine Hua smiled indifferently, not noticing the change in the emperor's mood at all, and said: "I see that the emperor is in a good mood today, but was there any happy event in the previous dynasty?"

"In the war in the Southwest, your brother and your nephew have made great contributions to me." The emperor paid attention to Concubine Hua's expression while talking, and seeing her understanding that couldn't be concealed by pretending to be surprised, his heart sank again. "I intend to reward your elder brother with the first-class official title. Your father is already a first-class official at a young age, and I will give him the title of Taifu. As for your brother's former first-class official title, it will be given to his second son. Fu Chengcheng. What do you think of giving your mother the title of Mrs. Zheng Er-rank?"

Thousands of emotions flashed across Concubine Hua's face, all of which fell into the eyes of the emperor, and finally they were fixed in the tenderness of suppressing joy: "The concubine thanked the emperor."

She lowered her head, secretly happy, she didn't see the stormy look in the emperor's eyes at all.
