After transforming into An Lingrong, he became the King of Juan and was crowned the Sixth Palace.

It was less than a month before Chungui gave birth, and during this period, many major events happened in the harem.

For example, Zhen Huan is about to return to the palace, Cao Guiren is ready to make a move, and the queen is preparing to use new chess pieces to avoid being criticized by the emperor again...

Not only that, it may be that the affairs between Nian Zheng and the previous dynasty were too unfavorable, and the Queen Mother and the Empress, who felt that their time was running out, put pressure on her one after another.

The emperor had no choice but to include several young ladies from the official families of the previous dynasty as new concubines entering the palace.

Among them is the stupid but beautiful Qi Guiren who An Lingrong "likes".

Not long after, Cao Guiren was granted the title of concubine Xiang by the Jin Dynasty. She was canonized at the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the palace, and she was given the title of mistress of the first palace and changed her residence.

Her smile was reserved under the shadow of the jeweled aura, which could be regarded as her long-cherished wish being fulfilled.

On the first day after the canonization ceremony, An Lingrong met her in Shanglinyuan. At that time, she was in her prime. Watching Wen Yi, her nanny and the palace maids playing and chasing each other in the garden, her usual delicate appearance was enhanced. Very charming.

Even if it was Cao Concubine who was a concubine, she still had to bow her head to An Lingrong before saying hello to each other.

She smiled brightly and said, "Concubine An is in better spirits."

An Lingrong pretended not to understand the voice-over and just smiled.

"How could it be bad? Xiang's good days have just passed. I heard that four new nobles entered the palace yesterday afternoon. They all live in the Yikun Palace that I promised in the past. It's very lively."

Concubine Xiang tied the fragrant tassel ball on the lotus green cloak and said: "That's good. As soon as the old people go, the new people come. It doesn't mean that Yikun Palace is deserted. In the past, Concubine Hua was extremely luxurious. , Yikun Palace is very magnificent, which shows how much the emperor values ​​these four new nobles."

An Lingrong smiled and nodded. Since he was the family member of the hero who helped pacify Prince Dun, it was natural for him to live in Yikun Palace. Naturally, he had to show his favor.

So, she smiled: "You will know what kind of characters the four new sisters are in the future."

Concubine Xiang originally told the nanny and palace maid to take good care of the princess from time to time. She got along well with An Lingrong, and gradually she became less concerned about the situation around her.

Only an ouch was heard, and the loud and clear cry of the little girl came. An Lingrong and Xiangbi both turned their heads in panic, looking for Wen Yi's figure.

The ground in the garden was sprinkled with water for some reason and turned into ice. Wen Yi fell to the ground, and next to him lay a woman in palace attire who also fell to the ground.

The nanny and the palace maid hurriedly turned pale and ran to help the woman and Wen Yi, but the woman had quick eyesight and quick hands, picked them up and hugged Wen Yi softly.

Concubine Xiang turned pale with anxiety. She hurried over with An Lingrong, saluted the woman hastily, and said, "Your Majesty, Jin An."

With that said, Concubine Xiang reached out to hug Wen Yi.

Wen Yi was young and only recognized her mother. She immediately stopped crying when her biological mother held her in her arms.

He only stared at a pair of round black eyes, looking at the people around him.

When Concubine Xiang saw her daughter fall, she became furious and scolded the nanny and the palace maid with an angry face.

"They are all a bunch of losers. They don't even take good care of the princess. They only know how to be lazy. The emperor will return to the palace tomorrow and give you a good beating."

Hearing this, several nannies and maids were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Concubine Xiang was still scolding herself, while Concubine Jing frowned and said with concern, "Why don't you check if the princess is injured?"

Concubine Xiang came to her senses and immediately stopped talking. She hurriedly checked with the nanny to see if Wen Yi was injured. After confirming that it was correct, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Concubine Jing, for the help."

An Lingrong saw that Concubine Jing's lips were slightly white, her left hand was hidden in her sleeve, her posture was weird, and the sleeve on her left arm was also stained with traces of mud.

He shook his head and sighed: "Is your Majesty okay?"

Concubine Jing shook her head slightly and said to Concubine Xiang: "Princess Wen Yi just slipped and I caught her quickly. She should be fine. However, it would be safer to ask the imperial doctor to take a look."

Concubine Xiang repeatedly said yes, and hurriedly sent her personal maid to ask for the imperial doctor.

Wen Yi was in good spirits, babbling and singing, tapping her fingers, and suddenly raised her head and opened her arms to pounce on Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing was slightly surprised, but her face was filled with uncontrollable smiles and affection. She stretched out her right hand to hold Wen Yi in her arms. Concubine Xiang let go of her hand and said with a smile: "This child really doesn't recognize his own child. He is so kind to me after seeing you. "

An Lingrong looked at Huanxi and joked, "Wen Yi likes Concubine Jing very much."

Concubine Jing became more and more happy and hummed a tune softly, pressing her forehead against Wen Yi's, making Wen Yi laugh out loud.

When An Lingrong saw that Concubine Jing loved Wen Yi so much, she only hugged her with her right hand, knowing that her left hand must be injured.

So he took Wen Yidi and Xiang concubine and said, "How can the empress be so lucky and wishful alone?"

Concubine Jing did not take An Lingrong's words to heart. She only looked at Wen Yi reluctantly and said casually: "An Lingrong Mingxiang Ruyi went to collect some snow water on the bamboo leaves and is waiting here for their return."

An Lingrong smiled hurriedly and said: "Your Majesty's clothes are dirty. If you don't mind, please go to Yongshou Palace and change into clean clothes."

An Lingrong's eyes glanced at her left arm unintentionally. She understood and said, "That's fine."

So An Lingrong called Jin Xi and led the concubine to the Yongshou Palace, saying, "Your Majesty, please go ahead and I will arrive soon."

She nodded and put a smile on her lips. After walking a few steps, she looked back and watched Princess Wen Yi playing and having fun in Xiang Concubine's arms with a look of nostalgia on her face.

Seeing Concubine Jing walking away, Concubine Xiang looked at her thin back and sighed quietly, saying: "It's a pity that my family is in such a low state. Even if I become a concubine, I can't guarantee that I can earn a good future for Wen Yi. If I can be like Concubine Jing, It would be much better if the empress is in the same position as the concubine."

An Lingrong listened in her heart, but she didn't make any move.

Concubine Xiang turned around and saw An Lingrong, looking a little embarrassed. She knew she had made a mistake, so she hurriedly covered it up and said, "I just said it casually, sister An, don't take it to heart."

An Lingrong said with a smile: "Well, it's a good thing that Sister Cao has such a heart. She doesn't think about herself, but also thinks about the princess. Even I hope that the princess will marry a noble son-in-law one day, so as not to fall into the trap of marriage. The situation is really regrettable.”

Concubine Xiang's eyes were slightly wary, and she was also smiling, but also a little distant.

"Concubine Cheng'an Jiyan, how can I compare to my sister who has received the emperor's favor and favor. I have made contributions to the Qing Dynasty in the past and gained the emperor's trust. It seems that my sister will be granted the title of imperial concubine just around the corner. Wen Yi's future depends entirely on Concubine An. I have mercy on you."

She called An Fei distantly and politely, but An Lingrong just smiled appropriately.

Thinking of Concubine Jing's injury, Concubine Xiang sighed and said, "Concubine Jing loves the princess very much, but since she is not in good health, she probably won't be able to have children."

An Lingrong smiled and dug a big hole for Xiangbi.

"Why did Sister Cao say this? I heard that Concubine Jing is the queen of the general family. Logically speaking, the emperor should love Concubine Jing?"

Cao Qinmo, who was praised so highly, rolled his eyes and whispered: "My sister doesn't know something. Because of Nian's promise, Concubine Jing was diagnosed with difficulty in getting pregnant as early as when she was in the palace. Furthermore, the emperor actually doesn't like the general. After that, of course, except Nian promised..."

After she finished speaking, she stopped talking.

An Lingrong's mind changed, she changed the topic, and said slowly: "Assistant, helper, the emperor once again chose this word as the title for Sister Cao, it seems to have profound meaning."

Cao Qinmo looked at An Lingrong attentively and said, "Sister, I don't understand the words, but please explain it to me, Sister An." An Lingrong twirled the tourmaline beads in her hand one by one and looked at Cao Qinmo meaningfully.

"Why did my sister get this concubine this time? It's because the affair with Prince Dun in the previous dynasty was settled, and the Chinese concubine in the harem has always been close to Prince Dun, so someone needs to come forward to bring her down. This is the plan of both the emperor and the queen."

"And sister is in the right time, so the emperor calls you concubine, that's what it means."

An Lingrong lowered her voice and sighed vaguely: "It's a pity that Nian Shilan still agrees now. The emperor probably can't embarrass her too much because of his kindness."

Concubine Xiang's expression changed slightly. She folded up her brocade jacket, which was embroidered with ten groups of white lion hydrangeas, and said, "Concubine Jing is still dressing in my sister's palace. My sister must have rushed back, and I have to accompany her back." The palace."

An Lingrong gave way with a smile, turned around and left.

When they returned to the palace, they saw that Jin Xi had changed Concubine Jing's clean clothes and was bandaging Concubine Jing's injured left arm.

An Lingrong asked Jinxi to take the dirty clothes she had changed to wash, and she personally applied medicinal powder to Concubine Jing's elbows.

Her injury was actually not too minor. There was a long gash and it was swollen.

An Lingrong gently applied the medicinal powder, lowered her head and only looked at her mouth, saying: "The empress has never liked Concubine Hua, nor concubine Xiang. Besides, she used to be Concubine Hua's wife. How could the empress be willing to risk her own life to save her?" child?"

There was some pain from the medicine powder, but Concubine Jing didn't even frown, her face was as calm as usual, as calm as water.

"I like the princess more than the prince. You see, Concubine Duan is accompanied by Princess Gongding. I went to see her a few days ago and saw that Concubine Duan's complexion has improved a lot. I Gong is really jealous."

"Besides, the child is innocent! Even if the mother has done many wrong things, she cannot implicate the child. Moreover, Princess Wen Yi is indeed cute and pleasing to the people. Concubine An, do you think I am right?"

An Lingrong took the gauze and wrapped it around her, then closed her sleeves and said softly: "Your Majesty seems to really love that child."

She smiled, her smile a little vague and sad, "I have no destiny with my children, so I can only love other people's children."

She smiled: "But that child Wen Yi is really cute."

An Lingrong said with a smile: "She does have the intelligence of her mother. I just hope that she won't learn from her mother's cunningness in the future."

Concubine Jing gave a sigh of regret and said, "I'm afraid it won't work because of the influence of my ears and eyes."

An Lingrong half-truthfully said, "It would be great if she could get a good mother to teach her well."

Concubine Jing concentrated her attention and said nothing, subconsciously stretching out her hand.

An Lingrong said hurriedly: "Don't move, wait until the wound hurts."

Concubine Jing smiled heartily and said: "There are so many painful places in this palace, why do you care about this?"

An Lingrong calmed down slightly and said, "I think your Majesty must have heard about Concubine Hua's dethronement. I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"

She raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a half-smile, "Promise? It should be so."

An Lingrong was relieved and smiled: "Does your Majesty think so too?"

She sat upright, although there was a smile on her face, there was no smile at all in her eyes, as if they were filled with cold and snow.

"That day when she punished the noble lady for losing her child, the emperor just asked her to think about her mistakes. Do you think it was just because she was afraid of Prince Dun?"

An Lingrong shook her head: "If that were true, the emperor would have killed her already today."

She said: "Yes, although I don't know the reason, but it seems that the emperor is not really ruthless towards her."

"Old love is difficult. Even if Nian Shilan made a big mistake, after all, she has been the most favored concubine in these years. The emperor may not have any sincerity towards her."

An Lingrong's smile overflowed from her lips, thinking of Zhen Huan and Cao Guiren who were about to return to the palace, and smiled.

"So if anyone tries to persuade the emperor to kill her at this time, it will only make the emperor disgusted."

Concubine Jing's eyes turned cold, and she quickly smiled gently.

"I think she has been thinking about disappearing from this palace for a long time, and Concubine Duan must be the same."

An Lingrong tapped her fingers on the table and smiled brightly, "On this point, my wife and I are of the same mind."

Concubine Jing suppressed her smile and said calmly: "This is best, but you have to pay attention to Xiangbi, she is not a kind person."

An Lingrong poured a pot of spring tea for her, and filled it with a smile: "I know this. Your Majesty, please taste this tea. I will have a big gift for you in the future."

The four nobles who entered the palace later paid homage to all the concubines in the palace who were above them in the Queen's Jingren Palace.

An Lingrong sat with Hui, Xin and Xiang.

Upon closer inspection, these four new nobles all have outstanding looks.

A lucky person has a pleasant smile, a noble person has a graceful face, an auspicious person has eyebrows crescent like an autumn moon, and an auspicious person is as proud as a cold plum.

Concubine Xingui couldn't help but added: "As the name suggests, everyone from Fugui looks like a bundle of joy. People from Ruigui are fresh and fresh, but upon closer inspection, people from Qigui are more beautiful."

Although Xinbin is outspoken, she has a precise eye for seeing people. She smiled brightly and said, "Qi Gui is very beautiful, but..."

The following words were indecent, so Meizhuang did not say any more.

Xiangbi smiled and said: "With more people, there will be more right and wrong."

An Lingrong also joined in the conversation and said with a smile: "It is said that this noble Qi is a relative of the Empress, but the relationship is a bit distant, and I have never heard of the Empress."

Everyone smiled and said nothing.

That night, the emperor summoned Concubine Qi to attend the bedchamber. He probably liked her, and the next day he planned to confer a title on her after the bedchamber in accordance with the rites. However, the queen thought that Concubine Hua was also the daughter of a meritorious official when she entered the palace. He stopped him on the grounds that he was proud of his achievements.

Because of her face, the emperor also used Concubine Hua as a lesson, so he had no objection.

At the beginning of this case, these four new nobles did not receive the title of Jin after they went to bed.

Among the four new nobles, Xianggui was the most favored. He was often called upon to be lucky but was not given the title of Jin. She knew the reason and deeply hated Nian Shilan.

Xianggui was very unconvinced, and with some charm, the emperor also favored her, and greatly disparaged Nian's promise in front of the emperor.

The emperor didn't care and just laughed it off.

When the concubine Xiang heard about it, she also told Jin Yan that Nian should be punished severely and she agreed to kill him to calm the anger of the harem.

However, before she could finish her words, the emperor turned his face and dismissed her.
