The Golden Partridge of An Lingrong's Rebirth

Chapter 90.Li Gong

The guard of honor of the emperor and the empress leaving the palace was mighty, and all the concubines gathered at the Xuanwu Gate to see them off.

"Concubine Hua," the emperor stopped, and stretched out his hand to let Concubine Hua come forward, "The queen is not here, and you are the highest in the palace. It’s good to have a look at it.” Then he told Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Jing, “You two should take good care of the affairs of the palace, and always report to Concubine Hua, and don’t miss anything.”

"The courtiers and concubines would like to obey the emperor's will." The three answered in unison.

The queen also explained a few words, and then followed the emperor's steps into the sedan chair.

"The emperor and the queen drive—"

"Respectfully send off the emperor, respectfully send off the queen." The guard of honor walked away in a grand manner, and everyone looked at each other from a distance, and they did not leave for a long time.

Concubine Hua looked at the guard of honor that had gone away, rubbed her stomach and said lazily: "This time praying, only the queen will accompany the emperor. I'm afraid it's not just for the sake of rain, if you want to get a prince, Only the empress can be satisfied." She raised her eyelids and glanced behind her, "Concubine Wan, do you think so?"

"If the empress is really pregnant, the imperial concubine will be happy too, won't she?" Zhen Huan asked back with a smile, hiding a needle in her cotton.

Concubine Hua looked back with a sneer: "Of course, I think Concubine Guan will be happy too, right?"

"The empress's mother honors the whole world. If she gets a son-in-law, it will be the joy of the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, no one will be unhappy about it." Zhen Huan replied with a smile.

Concubine Hua saw that she was watertight, and she didn't want to get angry at this time, she had already thought of a way to teach Zhen Huan a lesson, so she said casually, "Concubine Guan's eloquence is getting better."

Concubine Jing smoothed things over: "The imperial concubine and the concubine Guan are both pregnant, so it's not appropriate to stand outside for a long time, let's go back to the palace first."

"Although Concubine Jing has the right to assist the Six Palaces now, but concubine is concubine, concubine is concubine, only one word is needed to be inferior to others, and inferiors must bow their heads and ears, and must not disobey. Concubine Jing, do you understand?" voice, scolded Concubine Jing, and glanced at Shenmeizhuang who was standing behind her, "I serve the emperor first, and you come later. When I was a side Fujin, you were just a princess in my room, even if in the future you have Blessed to be able to sit on an equal footing with Bengong, you must also remember that you are the person in this palace. In front of Bengong, if Bengong has not spoken, there will be no time for you to speak, understand?"

What she said made Concubine Jing feel a little embarrassed.

After all, she was already a concubine, but she was so badly spoken by Concubine Hua, for a moment, her face flushed, but she didn't dare to say anything, she could only reply uselessly: "Yes."

After Concubine Hua finished the call, everyone dispersed.

Zhen Huan took Concubine Jing's hand, comforted her silently, and together with Shen Meizhuang, the three of them went back to Suiyuxuan.

"Ju Qing, hurry up and ask Imperial Physician Zhang." As soon as she entered Sui Yuxuan, Shen Mei Zhuang hurriedly ordered someone to find the imperial physician, because Wen Shichu was ordered to leave the palace with Sheng Jia, so Zhen Huan's fetus was temporarily diagnosed by Zhang Mi.

"Hurry up, hurry up, help Concubine Guan go in and sit down." Concubine Jing's voice followed.

Hearing the movement, An Lingrong got up to greet her: "The two sisters have been away for so long, I counted the time to come here, and waited and waited for no one to be seen, which made me very worried." Seeing that Zhen Huan's expression was not good, she hurriedly let her Sit down, "Sister Wan has only been out for half a day, why is her face so pale? But what happened?"

Shen Mei sighed solemnly: "What else can I do, isn't it just that the concubine Hua Gui is making things difficult for Huan'er? The emperor and queen have just left, and she can't hold back anymore." She looked at Zhen Huan and An Lingrong, and frowned. Brows, "Huan'er, Rong'er, I'm really worried about you two. Concubine Hua Gui is the biggest in the palace right now, so it's necessary for me and Concubine Jing to follow her orders. Just looking at today's situation, even if I join hands with Concubine Jing, I may not be able to suppress you." Hold her."

"It's still like she has no power in her hands." Concubine Jing also sighed, looked at Zhen Huan and said, "Even if I want to protect you, I really can't do it. Fortunately, the emperor will come back soon. It won't be a big deal."

"Don't worry, it's just that I feel a little dizzy after standing under the sun for a long time." Although Zhen Huan said she was fine, her face was pale and her lips were blue.

At this time, Zhang Mi came in with a medicine box and asked for Ping An's pulse. An Lingrong, Shen Meizhuang, and Concubine Jing watched him take Zhen Huan's pulse together.

"Miss Concubine Guan has suffered from the heat, so it doesn't matter." Zhang Mi stood up and replied after taking his pulse, "However, I dare to ask my lord, do you often feel restless recently? Occasionally, you will feel heavy in your body. , feeling a little stiff in the belly?"

Zhen Huan didn't have the energy to speak, and Cui Jinxi replied from the side: "Our little master has lost his appetite since the beginning of summer, and can't sleep well at night, so he is often mentally tired. The body feels heavy and the stomach is slightly stiff..." She didn't know much about it. It was clear, so he looked up at Zhen Huan.

"When you stand or sit for a long time, you will feel a little bit like this." Zhen Huan said modestly.

Zhang Mi nodded knowingly, and said: "My lord's fetus is fine, it's just that after summer, the weather is hot, and my body is relatively weak. It's not suitable for walking under the scorching sun. It's better to pay more attention to rest."

"Thank you, doctor." Zhen Huan nodded, and then ordered Liu Zhu to send Zhang Mi out.

Not long after, Shen Meizhuang and Concubine Jing also left because they had to take care of palace affairs, leaving only An Lingrong to accompany Zhen Huan.

"Sister, the emperor and empress have left the palace, and the empress dowager is ill again. This palace is full of noble concubines. I am really worried about you." An Lingrong was very worried when he thought of all the things in his previous life.

Although Shuhenjiao was the real cause of Zhen Huan's miscarriage back then, the direct reason was that Concubine Hua made things difficult for her to kneel in Yikun Palace for a long time. In this life, she will keep the child for Zhen Huan no matter what.

Just be afraid, the queen has done something in a place she can't see.

"Don't worry, I will try my best to avoid her. At worst, I will learn from you and just stay in the palace and not go out." Zhen Huan took a sip of tea, recovered a little bit of energy, picked up the round fan and shook her, driving her away A bit of heat in my heart.

An Lingrong took a look and knew that this was not the silk fan she made for Zhen Huan: "This is what Chun'er made for my sister, right?"

"How do you know?" Zhen Huan was a little surprised, "If it weren't for this incense pendant, I wouldn't even be able to tell which one was from you and which one from Chun'er." As she spoke, she hung the aromatherapy ball on the fan handle. Show it to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong's eyebrows twitched suddenly, remembering the miscarriage of the nobleman in Fucha, and instinctively told her that there was something wrong with this fan, so she reached out and took the fan from Zhen Huan, pointed to the lines on it and said, "Sister, look carefully, The silk that Chun'er entangled was not neat and tidy, because of lack of patience, it looked a bit messy, and it would not have such a lustrous luster in the sun."

An Lingrong raised her fan to face the sun at an angle, a faint cyan flashed across the fan, and it was fleeting. She blinked involuntarily, but when she looked again, she couldn't see it. She thought it was I was wrong.

"Really." Zhen Huan looked at the fan carefully and nodded suddenly, "The silk fan you gave me, one handle of the silk on the fan is vertical, the other is horizontal, well-proportioned and neat, Chun'er gave me a silk fan It's criss-crossing, and it's full of playfulness." She pursed her lips and chuckled.

An Lingrong also frowned and smiled, then picked up the aromatherapy ball and sniffed it calmly.

Sandalwood, instant incense, yellow ripe, clove, galangal, nard pine, asarum...they are the common dragon cinnamon, and there are no such harmful spices as musk. Could it be that she is overthinking?An Lingrong blinked his eyes lightly, and his heart slowly relaxed.That's right, Chun'er personally made it for Sister Wan, without the Queen's hand in the process, so there shouldn't be any problems.

At night, the sweet and greasy fragrance of Huanyi was lit in Yikun Palace, and Concubine Hua sat down in front of the dressing table and took off the last golden hairpin.

"The one in Chunxi Palace is covered by the Empress Dowager and can't move, but the one in Suiyuxuan can be taught a lesson." Concubine Hua Guifei looked at her beautiful self in the mirror, thinking of Zhen Huan's confrontation today, her eyes suddenly sharpened three times. Point, "Recently, the emperor finally stopped reprimanding his brother, because Zhen Yuandao impeached him several times, which caused the emperor to be dissatisfied with his brother. Relying on his daughter's favor in the palace and pregnancy, Zhen Yuandao acted in the previous court. Domineering, can you really treat me as a bully?"

"The empress is not in the palace, and the empress dowager is not in good health. In this palace, the empress ranks the highest. Naturally, the empress can punish whoever she wants." Song Zhi combed Concubine Hua's hair, and said with a smile.

Concubine Hua Gui smiled sweetly, raised her hand and yawned, and got up to go to bed: "Ganoderma lucidum, is my anti-fetal medicine ready?"

"Your Majesty, it's been hanging out for a while, and it's good to drink now." Ganoderma lucidum's eyes were secretive, and he walked up to Concubine Hua with a bowl of thick soup, "Physician Zhou said that the weather has been getting hotter recently. An old disease, so I changed a new prescription for my mother today, and it may be more bitter in the mouth."

"It doesn't matter if it's bitter, the important thing is that this palace can make the dragon fetus safe." Concubine Hua raised the medicine bowl and drank it down. The bitter taste immediately spread to the whole mouth and nose. Disgusted, she stuffed a candied fruit into Song Zhi's hand, "When the child is born, if it is a boy, I will fight for the crown prince for him, so as to preserve the honor and wealth of my mother's family for generations to come."

Concubine Hua rubbed her stomach again and again, and fell asleep with a smile on her face.

For half a month, Concubine Hua called all the concubines to Yikun Palace to listen to the training. It took three or four hours at a time. How everyone talked with the queen before, now how they want to talk with her, as if they were in charge of the house.

An Lingrong was jealous of Huan Yixiang in her palace, she only shirked her weight and never went there once, and with the Empress Dowager standing in front of her, Concubine Hua Gui could not do anything to her.

Zhen Huan was in a much more difficult situation. She had just passed three months, and her fetal image had already stabilized. In this way, she still felt that every time she came back from Yikun Palace, her body was very uncomfortable.

"I really feel tired after sleeping for so long, my waist is so sore." Zhen Huan rubbed her waist wearily after drinking the anti-natal medicine, Ju Qing immediately stepped forward to massage her, she looked up at Cui Jinxi and Liu Zhu, "I've been to Yikun Palace for the past few days, so I'm really a little tired. I don't know what kind of fragrance she smells in the palace. I just smell it and smell it."

"Concubine Hua Gui likes to use incense most, and it smells so strong, it smells quite fragrant when you smell it from a distance, but when you get closer, it feels too fragrant." Liu Zhu wrinkled her nose and said.

Cui Jinxi said from the side: "The young master has always said that he is sore and tired these days, why don't you take a sip of hot water and rest for a while, and this servant will ask Xiao Yunzi to invite Imperial Doctor Zhang to come."

Zhen Huan nodded: "Go and come back quickly."

Cui Jinxi responded, and only took two steps when she saw Zhou Ninghai walking in with no one in her eyes. She walked all the way to Zhen Huan before stopping, and she saluted very well: "My servant greets Concubine Guan."

As soon as Zhen Huan saw him, she knew that nothing was good, so she just said something lightly to make him get up.

"If you want to pass on the words of Concubine Hua, please invite Concubine Guan to Yikun Palace to listen to the matter." Zhou Ninghai had a smile on his face, but his words were not polite.

"It's not that I'm not going, it's just that I'm not feeling well today, can you apologize to the imperial concubine on your behalf." Zhen Huan rubbed her sore waist and said slowly.

As if he had guessed that Zhen Huan would refuse, Zhou Ninghai's smile remained unchanged: "Concubine Hua was ordered by the emperor to take charge of the Six Palaces..."

After only a few words, I couldn't bear the ruthless temper: "Didn't you see that my young master is not feeling well? Before leaving the palace, the empress also specially ordered that the young master is pregnant, and even the daily greetings If you can avoid it, you can avoid it, not to mention that you are not feeling well right now. Even if the empress is here, there is no need to go." Every time I use this kind of rhetoric, I use the emperor to suppress people, forcing her young master to go to Yikun palace.

Zhou Ninghai just smiled, and said: "Concubine Hua Gui knows that Concubine Guan is weak, so the special servant came to invite you. If you don't go, how will Concubine Hua rectify the affairs of the harem? Concubine Hua Gui is in charge of the sixth palace, then It's the emperor's intention. Niang Niang, don't violate the emperor's holy will."

"My father-in-law is right, but I am not feeling well today, so I really can't make it." Zhen Huan said again.

"Mr. Rong is seven months old, so of course he can't go. Concubine Guan is so squeamish at the age of three months. It's really disgusting." Zhou Ninghai spoke sharply, "The other concubines have all arrived. Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui were here early in the morning, and now I am only waiting for you, Madam." He said coldly, "Miss Wan, please invite me, don't be late, and make empress angry, but everyone will be upset .”
