When they arrived, An Lingrong did not learn to be like Concubine Hua or Zhen Huan, but directly pointed the question at the word checks and balances.

Son and daughter, one seems to be sitting back and relax, while the other is under house arrest. This is the best plan.

As soon as these words came out, the emperor immediately agreed to An Lingrong's intention and told the Queen Mother about the matter.

Hearing that, the Queen Mother also agreed, but she did not plan to raise him personally, but she was willing to openly support the former dynasty, and secretly asked An Lingrong to find a suitable concubine in the harem to raise.

An Lingrong handled all this properly.

When Tun Fujin entered the palace, he should have come to pay his respects to the Queen and the Queen Mother.

However, due to the emperor's ban first, An Lingrong's reminder came later.

The person who took the step in the queen's place was naturally Concubine Duan, who was very popular in the palace and held a different weight in the emperor's heart.

Moreover, today's game-within-a-game against two people from the previous dynasty does require a concubine with high status and seniority.

Otherwise, wouldn't it mean not giving the prince and Fujin face?

Therefore, Prince Dun Fujin, who did not know the truth, naturally took the advice of the emperor and the queen mother and went to see Concubine Duan to pay her respects.

When she came in and saw An Lingrong sitting under Concubine Duan with a smile, she was a little surprised. She quickly smiled calmly and said, "Concubine Duan, is she well? I congratulate you, Concubine Duan."

Concubine Duan smiled kindly and said: "On the day of the Lantern Festival, I saw the empress entering the palace with the palace concubine to pay her respects. I really wanted to have a few words with Fujin. Unfortunately, I was in poor health and was afraid that everyone would be sick, so I couldn't talk. It’s such a shame, Palace.”

Dun Fujin smiled and said: "My queen is so precious, how dare I go out and disturb the queen?"

Concubine Duan chuckled: "Lun Gang often says this, but in Lun Family, I still have to address Fujin as Third Sister-in-law, not to mention that we are all our own people now, so we should be affectionate and affectionate."

After hearing this, Dun Fujin continued to congratulate Concubine Duan: "Concubine Duan looks very good this year."

Concubine Duan stroked her cheek and said with a smile, "Fu Jin is really good at talking. I see that Fujin is in better spirits after giving birth to Beizi."

Dun Fujin was quite surprised and said: "Beizi? Is Concubine Duan making fun of me? Yu Bo is only six years old, how can he be Beizi?"

Concubine Duan's face was full of joy and she said: "This is the emperor's kindness! The emperor likes Beizi the most among all his nephews. Although Beizi is young, he is the smartest.

"So the emperor wants to canonize him as Prince Tun Beizi as soon as possible, and educate him well, so that he can be like his father in the future, stabilize the country, and prosper our dynasty."

Speaking, Concubine Duan and An Lingrong looked at each other.

Most parents prefer their young and weak children, and Tun Fujin was no exception.

She was surprised and happy, her face filled with uncontrollable joy, and she quickly stood up to thank him.

Concubine Duan smiled and said: "That's not all. The emperor means that good things come in pairs. He also wants to make an exception and make Princess Qingcheng a princess. He has even drafted the title. If you add the word Gongding, you will be honored as Princess Gongding. , at the beginning, the emperor meant to leave it to the Queen Mother to raise personally..."

As she said these words, her eyes kept looking at An Lingrong.

The reason why Concubine Duan was willing to leave the stage and accompany An Lingrong in this big drama was for a very clear purpose, which was to Qingcheng Princess, that is, Princess Gongding's custody rights!

She is older and has seen through the fact that the concubines in the harem have been fighting for that illusory position for too long.

Therefore, Concubine Duan did not intend to hold a fat and white brother, and the prince raised him.

At present, she has placed her hope on Princess Qingcheng, intending to take the place of the Queen Mother and raise a princess to grow up, so that she can be more filial and filial to her in the future.

This is what the Queen Mother owed her back then.

Now Concubine Duan is just collecting interest from it. From now on, there will be no reason why anyone owes anyone.

Tun Fujin was originally happy to hear that, but when he heard that he was going to be raised by the Queen Mother, he couldn't help but look shocked and said hurriedly: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty, but my daughter is very ignorant. If she is designated as a princess and raised by the Queen Mother, I'm afraid It will disturb the Queen Mother’s Qingyang, so why not ask the Emperor to take back the order?”

Dun Fujin's refusal was expected. Concubine Duan glanced at An Lingrong, so An Lingrong smiled softly and said: "The emperor does not have many children. There are only two princesses, Shuhe and Wenyi, in the palace. They are both young. Failed to grow.”

"It is a happy event that Princess Qingcheng of Fujin can enter the palace to raise her. Since the beginning of the dynasty, I heard that only the founder of the country has made the daughter of a prince a princess. That was to take care of the lintel of her husband's family when she was about to get married.

"This is the first time that a young person like Princess Qingcheng can be conferred by our emperor. Moreover, Dun Fujin's consideration is that the Queen Mother is older and her liking for leisure is also within the scope of the emperor's consideration."

Dun Fujin blinked and said, "What does Concubine An mean by this?"

Tun Fujin had a certain fondness for An Lingrong, because it was said that whether it was the wind-powered waterwheel or the order for the common people to have enough food in the previous dynasty, it could not be separated from the hands of the empress An in the harem.

An Lingrong glanced at Concubine Duan and joked: "The emperor is considerate of the prince and you. Yesterday he said that the princess can be raised by Concubine Duan. When you have time, just go to the Queen Mother and walk around more."

Dun Fujin pondered for a moment, but when he wanted to talk again, Concubine Duan had already gathered her clothes and stood up.

"After sitting for so long, I am a little tired. Dun Fujin, please come back. The emperor's decree will arrive at the palace in the evening."

Concubine Duan left the main hall with a smile, went to bed, changed clothes, and took medicine.

An Lingrong also said goodbye and returned to the palace.

It's just that her steps were deliberately slow on the road, Shi Shiran walked.

There is no room for change in Concubine Duan. Dun Fujin will definitely come to ask An Lingrong to persuade the emperor.

Sure enough, before leaving the palace, Dun Fujin came up to him and said, "It's still early. I want to sit in the palace. I wonder if the queen will welcome you?"

An Lingrong said with a smile: "Fu Jin is becoming more and more polite. I like Fu Jin the most when he comes uninvited. Otherwise, he will get angry."

All the way into the Yongshou Palace, Dun Fujin looked around, nodded and smiled: "It is indeed the place where Concubine An lives, and it is no worse than Concubine Duan's place."

An Lingrong ordered Jinxi to serve the tea, and said with a smile: "This tea is snow-capped and green. It was rushed five hundred miles away. Fujin can still taste it after trying it." Tun Fujin took a sip of the tea, and it was nothing special at all. His happy expression was just as normal, and he only said: "Fortunately, Concubine An has the most holy will in the palace now, so naturally everything is the best."

An Lingrong sat down opposite her. Seeing her expression, she knew what she was doing. She smiled and said, "Fu Jin is also overjoyed today."

Dun Fujin's expression darkened when he heard this, and said: "How can I separate my mother and daughter? The emperor's order cannot be violated without permission, so I have no choice but to ask the empress to persuade the emperor to make my mother and daughter happy."

Seeing that An Lingrong was just pondering, she added: "It's not that I dislike the Queen Mother and Concubine Duan, it's just that the family used to be good, but suddenly it's about to break up. As a mother, I really... sigh."

An Lingrong originally knew that Tun Fujin would not agree, and Prince Tun would definitely not agree, so this strategy of appeasement and planning for the future would no longer be sustainable.

Besides, it was she who agreed to Concubine Duan first and raised her under her knees, so as not to be used by Zhen Huan to make a fuss about the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother definitely doesn't want to see the prince's daughter.

Once the prince falls, her daughter's fate will be to wait until she is the right age and be sent there by the emperor to get married.

However, it was different when he was under Concubine Duan's knees.

Let's not talk about An Lingrong's plan to help Concubine Duan get a promotion, so that Mei Zhuang can become the concubine as she wished, and enjoy the glory and wealth with her, and suppress Concubine Hua.

Therefore, no matter what today, An Lingrong must find a way to make the other party relent on this matter.

Therefore, An Lingrong did not answer her question. She just pointed at the pillars of the palace and said, "This is only the second time that I have met your empress today, but I treat your empress as a sister in my heart." , I wonder if the empress still remembers the banquet that day..."

These words were touching. Dun Fujin nodded repeatedly, her face beamed with joy, and she said: "Is your Majesty willing to ask the Emperor for my concubine?"

An Lingrong shook her head: "I am considering Fujin, and I also ask Fujin to obey the imperial edict and let Concubine Duan raise the princess."

Dun Fujin frowned and said with a hint of anger, "What do you mean?"

An Lingrong said calmly: "Fujin is both a mother and a wife. Naturally, she has to plan for her husband and children at all times and put them first. Don't you think so, Fujin?"

She nodded: "It is indeed not easy to be a wife and a mother, let alone being in a royal family."

An Lingrong sat face to face with her, looked at her and said, "Did Fujin hear about the beating of Yan Guan for the prince a few days ago? It aroused a lot of public indignation. Our court has always attached great importance to both civil and military affairs, and also paid special attention to Yan. As an official, you can even directly give advice to the emperor, but it is really inappropriate for the prince to do this."

Dun Fujin sighed and said: "Your Majesty is too impatient. I have tried to persuade him several times, but the official was also a little confused. He spoke so unhesitatingly in public, regardless of the Prince's face. The Emperor followed him. The prince is a brother."

An Lingrong smiled and persuaded: "Just because we are brothers, the emperor is very dedicated to protecting the prince, but the public's anger must be calmed down. After all, it was the prince who took action first, and the emperor cannot blindly protect the prince. What's more, if you protect him too much, the prince will be gossiped about, and his own reputation will not be good."

Seeing that she was slightly moved, An Lingrong hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "So the emperor must not only protect the face of the royal family, but also give an explanation to the world's intellectuals. I hope that the prince can come to Zhang Lin to apologize, firstly for the prince's demeanor, and secondly for the prince's demeanor." It also means that the prince does not despise the world's intellectuals, and the matter is settled."

Tun Fujin shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

An Lingrong said: "Fu Jin, as a wife, naturally has to plan for the prince. Those literati love to use pens. The prince's martial arts skills cannot be infamy for the ages because of them."

Seeing that she was quite moved, An Lingrong added: "Men are always impulsive and reckless, and do things without thinking about the future. Therefore, Fujin is concerned about the prince, so he must give him some advice on this matter."

Dun Fujin nodded slowly, pursed his lips and said, "But we can't make the prince feel wronged. The prince has always been the most kind-hearted."

An Lingrong personally handed two pieces of snacks to Dun Fujin's hands, and said enthusiastically: "Yes, the emperor thinks so too. The prince is a meritorious minister and a brother. How can he be wronged? That's why he should be granted the title as soon as possible. Beizi, it is the dignity of a prince to make Wanyi Princess Gongding."

"It's just that after being granted the title of princess, I have to live in the palace. I am a mother..."

An Lingrong hurriedly consoled her: "The two princesses Shuhe and Wenyi are too young to be under the Queen Mother's knees. The Queen Mother likes to have considerate children by her side when she is ill. Concubine Duan and I also want to accompany the Queen Mother every day." , but after all, it’s not that pleasant anymore.

"The emperor is also busy with state affairs and cannot spare time to accompany the queen mother all the time. If the princess can support the emperor and support the queen mother, that would be the ultimate act of filial piety. In the future, when the princess gets married and canonized as a princess, that would be extremely noble and honorable."

"Besides, since ancient times, how can any princess be raised by a queen mother and a concubine? This reputation is not the least bit good. Besides, Concubine Duan and I are not unreasonable people. If you really miss me in the future Princess, can’t you just come to the harem and pay homage to your empress?”

An Lingrong caught up and said, "Although the emperor wanted to protect the prince, the prince actually hit someone, and Zhang Lin still can't get out of bed. The emperor is a little angry after all."

"Besides, the prince has an upright temperament, so it is inevitable that he will not be complained about. Wouldn't it be better if the princess could always persuade and reconcile in front of the emperor?"

After all this hard work of words, Tun Fujin finally agreed to persuade Prince Tun and allowed his daughter to enter the palace.

On the third day after the incident, Prince Dun personally came to Zhang Lin to apologize. Although it was just a hasty matter, the matter settled down a lot in the end.

Princess Qingcheng also chose an auspicious day to prepare for the canonization ceremony. She officially entered the palace to serve the Queen Mother, but in fact she became her precious daughter to Concubine Duan.

That night, the emperor was at An Lingrong's place. He was quite pleased when he talked about this matter and said: "I was worried about you, but I was afraid that if she refused, all my efforts would be in vain. I didn't expect this." It'll all go well, Rong'er, you've helped me a lot."

An Lingrong smiled: "Your Majesty does not need to praise your concubines. They should be able to share the Emperor's worries. What's more, the ministers and concubines of the previous dynasty didn't understand and couldn't help. Only the matters between these married women and concubines can be of some help."

An Lingrong smiled and poured him a pot of snow-topped green tea. The tea was fragrant. He took a sip, savored it carefully and said, "It is indeed good tea."

He held An Lingrong's hand and smiled: "I know you like to drink good tea, so I specially picked the best one for you. Do you still like it?"

An Lingrong smiled and sat on his lap, looking at the jade-like color, she smiled softly and said, "Of course I like it, but compared to my milk tea, this tea is still a bit inferior."

She is not Zhen Huan, and there is no need to dig her heart out about everything about the emperor.

Besides, it would be too unethical for her to turn the fire of corruption on someone just after she lost her daughter.

Therefore, An Lingrong did not talk about the incident that happened in the afternoon. After chatting honestly with the emperor for a while, he was sleeping with him.
