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

Chapter 17 Seeing the Queen Mother

Cao Qin was silent, An Lingrong's chess was too clever, even she couldn't help but watch Wen Yi always vomiting milk, which made her heartache.

Moreover, An Lingrong also said that if Wen Yi didn't help her take care of her health when she was a child, it would be difficult for her to get pregnant even if she grew up healthy in the future.

During this period, a woman who could not become pregnant had no say in her husband's family, even if she was a wealthy woman.

Just like the empress, because she did not have a child of her own, Concubine Hua relied on her youth and prominent family background to not take the master of the harem seriously.

Sighing, Cao Qinmo took another look at the boxes of good clothes sent by the emperor and made a decision in his heart.

Let's follow An Lingrong first. If she falls into despair later and is no longer favored by the emperor, or is overthrown by Concubine Hua, then as a concubine, she can exchange something for someone else who can cure Wen Yi's spleen and stomach. A drug.

Cao Qinmo over there was thinking about how to deal with Concubine Hua's anger. Here at Shenmeizhuang, as An Lingrong expected, the emperor turned over his cards and sent him to bed.

For a while, everyone in the harem started talking. Except for Wan Changzai, who was frightened by the unlucky things, the beautiful women selected for the Han army banner this time seemed to have their own abilities and won the emperor's favor.

People are afraid of famous pigs.

The gossip in the harem spread to the Queen Mother's palace. The Queen Mother sat in her seat, tilted her head, looked out the window, thinking about something.

"Zhu Xi, in your opinion, what's wrong with the current style of Qing Guiren and Shen Guiren of the Han Army Banner?"

Facing the Queen Mother's inquiry, the old man who had served for many years, Zhu Xi, replied calmly: "Back to the Queen Mother, I think that Shen Guiren is well-educated and well-educated, and seems to be a good candidate to manage the harem, and Qing Guiren..."

"It doesn't matter, you just say it."

The Queen Mother glanced at Zhu Xi, who had a troubled expression, and looked in surprise at the old man who had served her for many years.

Could there be something wrong with the woman who can make Zhu Xi's expression change color?

"Qing Guiren was pestered several times, but she didn't leave anything to say to others. And just now, Concubine Li had a dispute with Qing Guiren, and she unintentionally said bad things about Cao Gui and Wen Yi. The emperor heard it, and the emperor lowered his order. He took Li’s position and promoted Cao Guiren’s position.”

"The Ai family doesn't know about this, but Zhuxi, just based on these, Qinggui's actions are not enough to make you so rude."

"Going back to the Queen Mother, what surprised this servant is what happened behind. The noble lady Li bumped into the noble nobleman Qing. Not only was the noble nobleman not annoyed, but he also begged the emperor for mercy. Seeing that his plea was unsuccessful, he asked for a favor from the emperor."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned, subconsciously thinking that the noble Qing did not know the rules. Just when she was about to scold him, she heard Zhu Xi continue to speak.

"Oddly enough, the noble Qing asked the emperor for the decree to promote Concubine Cao to the throne, and sent it to him personally. The reason was that he also wanted to give birth to a daughter for the emperor as soon as possible, so he went to consult with Concubine Cao in advance."

"I have lived as a slave for most of my life. This kind of thing of giving people rice paper and promotion has always been left to the slaves. Besides, the status of the Qing nobles is not as good as Cao's concubine. Why would she go like this for the sake of an unwarranted daughter? What about disgrace yourself?"

The Queen Mother sat up after hearing this. She didn't expect that a noble person from a small family would actually have a demeanor that was not inferior to that of the Queen, and she couldn't help but look happy.

After all, An Lingrong was the person she single-handedly promoted for the emperor.

If she can still maintain the temperament praised by Zhu Xi today, it is not impossible for her to promote the other party to the concubine position.

As for the concubine position, An Lingrong was not worthy, and the Queen Mother had never thought about it.

Because all the concubines in the palace currently belong to people with prominent family backgrounds, old people who helped the emperor ascend the throne.

Even if someone new comes up later, it will definitely not be An Lingrong's turn.

Her birth was destined to become a stumbling block to the throne of concubine. Unless An Lingrong took the initiative to fight for her favor and became a concubine that the Queen Mother did not like, it would be impossible for An Lingrong to ascend to the throne of concubine as long as the Queen Mother was around.With this thought in mind, the Queen Mother heard the voice of a slave outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the noble lady has come to see you with gifts. Do you see her or not?"

The Queen Mother glanced at Zhu Xi, and she really didn't care who came.

Now that it's mentioned, let's meet.

"Among the new concubines who have entered the palace, only nobles from the Qing Dynasty will be the first to come to see the Ai family, so let's meet them."

Zhu Xi, who was waiting beside him, lowered his head slightly and went to the door to invite An Lingrong in.

"The concubine brought a longevity sachet knitted by herself to express her greetings to the Queen Mother. She may live a thousand years, be as blessed as the East Sea, and live as long as the Southern Mountains."

An Lingrong came in with the scent of books, which made the Queen Mother turn around and said: "Without courtesy, the fragrance of your body reminds the Ai family of the day of the palace election. The emperor is also very happy with your fragrance."

"Bamboo breath, give me a seat."

"The Queen Mother has promoted the concubine, and the concubine can just stand still. This is the first time to pay homage to the Queen Mother. How dare she sit down and talk to the Queen Mother."

In order to please the Queen Mother, An Lingrong deliberately lowered her voice, making her sound a little more neutral and heavier, like a Taoist nun worshiping Buddha in an ancestral hall.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but smile, "You child, you are nice to talk to, but if you need anything, you need help from the Ai family."

"Back to the Queen Mother, I thought that after going to bed, in addition to paying homage to the Queen, I should come to see the Queen Mother. I heard that the Queen Mother likes the fragrance of books and ink, so I specially embroidered the sachet with her own hands, and it was filled with herbs ground by my own hands."

After saying that, An Lingrong handed the sachet that looked very festive and matched the Queen Mother's current outfit to the bamboo breath aside.

This made Zhuxi look at An Lingrong a few more times.

There was no other reason, but An Lingrong knew the rules and did not hand the things directly to the Queen Mother, but chose to give them to her to check first to see if the contents would harm the Queen Mother.

Zhu Xi, who had some knowledge of pharmacology, touched An Lingrong's sachet and smelled the refreshing fragrance inside. After confirming that there was no problem, he gave it to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother took it in front of her and smelled it, her eyes turned red.

This fragrance was like the smell when he and she met before entering the palace, standing under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

How is he doing after all these years?
Seeing the red circles in the Queen Mother's eyes, An Lingrong knew that it was not in vain and had prepared the props before entering the palace. She quickly lowered her head and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't know that the Queen Mother was allergic to the spices in it, which made the Queen Mother's eyes red. Please The Queen Mother punishes you.”

Zhu Xi, who was waiting on the Queen Mother, felt his heart tighten when he saw the Queen Mother's expression as if she was missing the man who was difficult to mention in front of the Emperor.

Could it be that the sachet made by An Lingrong brought back those memories of the Queen Mother?

"It doesn't matter, my family likes this fragrance very much. You are interested."

Looking at the trembling An Lingrong, the trace of suspicion in the Queen Mother's heart was dispelled.

The matter between her and Longkodo is an old story of the concubine's generation, and few people know about it.

How did An Lingrong, who was born in a small family, learn about this kind of head loss?
