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

Less than three days after An Lingrong was made a concubine by the emperor, under the instructions of the emperor and the queen, the matter of Princess Wen Yi came to an end.

Xiao Tang, who was in charge of pastry ingredients in the imperial kitchen, stood up and said that he accidentally mixed two powder ingredients, which caused the princess's discomfort.

And his ending is destined to be a dead end, condemning others.

When the news came, An Lingrong and Chun Changzai stretched silk gauze on an ebony frame and embroidered a double-sided embroidery together.

Double-sided embroidery pays most attention to needle skills and the embroiderer's vision and thought.

Thousands of threads must be hidden in the embroidery. One more stitch or one less stitch will cause the pattern to deform or change color.

Chun Changzai was a little tired and wanted to go out for a walk, but An Lingrong came back and stopped.

Looking at Chun'er, who seemed innocent and sweet, but was actually no less thoughtful than others, An Lingrong warned: "In the harem, you can't be impatient. If you are impatient, you will easily make mistakes."

Chun Chang pouted, glanced at the beautiful scenery outside the window, returned to his seat with a sad face, and continued to help An Lingrong embroider.

An Lingrong embroidered a picture of a long trip to the spring mountains, with hundreds of green colors gradually enchanting the eyes.

After continuing to embroider for a while, I found that Chun Changzai was really impatient and wanted to escape from the boring embroidery.

She had no choice but to put away her things and told Jin Xi to get some pastries for Chun Changzai to eat.

Chun Changzai suddenly smiled and started eating.

An Lingrong looked through the soft lake-green crepe curtains and saw a gloomy blue shadow on the ground.

Outside the curtain, Baojuan and Baoping, together with the palace maids, were drying a large piece of Minghua material sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The tiny pink butterflies in the shadows were stirred up and flashed, and the light and shadow seemed to condense the last moments of summer. Sky shadow time.

After watching quietly for a while, An Lingrong stood up and rubbed the sore back of her neck, took a sip of Xiangzhi drink and said, "What do you think?"

Chun Chang was comparing the color of the silk thread carefully against the sun, with a faint smile on his lips, "This is the coincidence that Concubine Hua said."

An Lingrong chuckled, "Why does Chun'er like to mince words when talking?"

Chun Changzai put down the pastry in his hand, pursed his lips and said, "Yes, follow my sister's orders."

After thinking for a while, Chun Changzai, whose vision was gradually opened by An Lingrong, then said slowly: "The emperor wants to conduct a thorough investigation, and Xiao Tang has come out. It's just that someone did not want the emperor to continue the investigation and instigated the chess piece." .”

However, she was confused and looked at An Lingrong and said: "It's just...the emperor punished Xiao Tang for dereliction of duty and killed him with a cane."

An Lingrong held the fragrant tea in her hand, looked at the busy figures of the palace maids outside the curtain, and said calmly: "Of course I will kill her with a stick. If I continue to investigate, it will be a scandal in the palace. It will be a trivial matter in the ears of the official and the queen mother, but in the eyes of the subjects I’m afraid it’s going to degrade the royal dignity.”

An Lingrong gently chewed the tip of the fragrant tea in her mouth and said slowly: "All the concubines in the harem who have brains understand the whole story. How could the emperor not understand? It's just that Concubine Hua is an old man after all and has served the emperor for many years."

Seeing that Chun Changzai seemed confused and confused, An Lingrong stretched out her finger and poked at the window screen in the southwest direction.

Chun Changzai understood immediately and thought of Concubine Hua's bullying reliance.

She shook her head, no longer as innocent as before, and sighed in a low voice: "As the emperor, the emperor also has a lot of helplessness."

An Lingrong curled her fingers slightly, licked her temple hair, and said word by word: "The cunning rabbit dies and the running dogs are cooked. I am only waiting for the day when Nian's bird is gone."

Chun Chang was silent for a moment, picked a big grape, chewed it slowly in his mouth, and said, "Chun'er just thinks that my sister is working hard. My sister is already the emperor's concubine, why do I still think so much about it?"

An Lingrong said: "How can you not be hardworking on the cusp of glory and grace?"

Chun Changzai clapped his hands and said with a smile: "But the emperor has been really good to my sister these days."

She was quiet and said lonelyly, "Actually, the emperor is very good to my sister."

This sentence struck her ears and made An Lingrong think back to her words when she and the emperor were sitting around the afternoon before yesterday.

She was made a concubine, and the emperor peeled lychees and ate them together with her, rubbing their temples together, holding red lychee hands, and talking softly, what a beautiful scene.

An Lingrong leaned against his ear and whispered: "Why does the emperor believe that Rong'er is innocent?"

The emperor was peeling the lychee, as if he was not used to doing this, and the peeling was very rough. The snow-white flesh was stained with dark red peel that had not been cleaned.

After a pause, he said: "You are the emperor's Rong'er. As a husband, how can I not believe you."

An Lingrong thought that if she hadn't invited Concubine Duan over and negotiated the remuneration, she might have been wronged by Concubine Hua and Cao Qinmo as she had no heirs.

Therefore, after hearing the emperor's words, she first smiled, and then pretended to be angry: "Just for this? No wonder the concubines always say that the emperor is partial to Rong'er. It seems to be true."

He put down the water chestnut in his hand and said seriously: "I don't think you would do such a thing."

As he said that, the emperor grabbed An Lingrong's hand and said disgustingly: "Then dig out my heart and take a look. Is it biased towards you or towards others?"

An Lingrong spat and said: "You are still the king of a country. What you say is not serious or serious. It is a joke."

He smiled without saying a word, peeled off a whole lychee, put it in An Lingrong's mouth, and said, "Is it delicious?"

An Lingrong frowned and reluctantly swallowed it whole and said, "Prick the mouth, it won't be peeled off cleanly."

She also knows that if you give a Bazi, you must give Zao a meal, especially when facing Fat Ju.

So, An Lingrong smiled again and said: "The emperor holds the world in his hands. He is not used to doing such things. Just leave the little water chestnut to Rong'er."

As he said this, he peeled off several pieces until the skin was smooth and put them in his palm.

The emperor ate a few and said with a smile: "The extraordinary sweetness is due to your skill."

An Lingrong smiled, "This is water lychee from the south of the Yangtze River. It is full of fragrance, sweet but not greasy, naturally unusual."

As he spoke, the emperor ate a few more lychees and slowly closed his eyes to reflect, "The taste of these lychees is clear but not greasy, just like your dance."

An Lingrong burst into laughter and said with a sweet smile: "If you are greedy, you will have to look forward to Shu. The words of the ancients are really true. I peeled the lychee and gave it to the emperor, and the emperor thought of making An Lingrong dance."

The emperor thought about it and couldn't help but smile and said: "What kind of dance are you doing? Even if I think about it, you won't allow it."

He then said: "If you want to dance, I won't let you do it. It's so uncomfortable to make me sweat all over."

An Lingrong said, "Others have ice-cold muscles and jade bones. They are cold and sweatless. The emperor is making fun of me for being a sweaty person made of water."

Deliberately turning around and ignoring him, letting him coax her, Fang looked back and smiled at him.

An Lingrong thought about it for a long time, and suddenly she felt that she shouldn't think about it silently at this time, she had to say something, otherwise it would seem like she was showing off to her by neglecting Chun Chang.

So, he said with a smile: "The emperor is also very good to my sister."

Chun Chang had an almost sad look on his face, looking at the hundreds of dazzling green silk threads on the embroidery frame in a daze, carefully smoothing them out one by one.

An Lingrong looked at her with a strange expression. The emperor was also kind to her. As a concubine who had never slept with him before, she was treated like this and was not targeted by others. What else could she be dissatisfied with?However, Chun Chang's mind is always jumping ahead of others.

The next second, she showed her face and said: "Sister, does my daughter's family have to engage in these female celebrities? Chun'er thinks it's a lot of work and trouble."

An Lingrong stepped forward to take a look quietly, stroked the smooth embroidery material and said, "It really takes a lot of effort, but the more effort you put into something, the more it tests a person's mind and endurance."

Chun Chang said: "Sister's words are always so profound. What does embroidery have to do with the mind? Chun'er doesn't understand."

An Lingrong changed the tea for her, sat down again and embroidered with a needle, and said gently: "Sometimes, not knowing is a blessing. It is best never to understand."

Chun Chang was smiling and changed the subject: "Sister, I want to embroider double-sided embroidery on a whim. I don't know how many days of effort it will take. I will go back in a few days and I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."

An Lingrong just lowered her head to embroider and said without raising her head: "Not to mention an embroidery frame, I want to move all the residual lotuses in front of the door to Taiye Pond. Who dares to say this in front of me? No word?"

Chun Chang smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Yes, yes, if my sister wants to merge Fanyue Lake with Taiye Lake, the emperor will only say it is a good idea."

An Lingrong couldn't help laughing: "How can you learn to be so glib."

After embroidering for a while, my hands began to sweat. I was afraid that the color of the silk thread would be stained, so I got up and washed my hands.

An Lingrong turned away and asked Chun Changzai: "I have the chestnut cake that the emperor rewarded today. How about a bowl of eight-treasure sweet cheese?"

Chun Changzai said meekly: "Sister makes up her mind."

After eating snacks with Chun Chang, they dispersed.

After watching the maids and eunuchs packing their bags for a while before returning home, I felt a little better and went back to embroidering.

Calm, this calm lasted until the Mid-Autumn Festival after returning to Luang.

As usual, the Mid-Autumn Festival is spent in the Forbidden City.

The day of return to Luan was set on the fifth day of August.

When returning to Luan, the concubine's honor guard was no longer the same as when she arrived. The noble's car was carefully guarded and could not get out of the car easily.

Concubine Hua's chariot with emerald feathers, green luan, and canopy followed closely behind the queen's phoenix driver. It was so majestic and majestic that it swept away the decadent atmosphere when it arrived.

Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing and An Lingrong walked side by side, Mei Zhuang and Yin Chang Zai followed behind, and Chun Chang Zai also followed behind.

It took two days of hard work to get back to the Forbidden City. Even though I was riding in a car, I felt tired.

Fortunately, the preparations in the Yongshou Palace were complete, and An Lingrong washed up hastily and then fell asleep.

The etiquette of the Mid-Autumn Festival was complicated. The emperor gave a banquet to the courtiers, and in the evening there was a family banquet in the harem. The queen hosted it in a lively manner, and Wen Yihe and Hui Cheng were so lovely.

According to the ritual, the family banquet was held in Huiguang Hall, the first hall at the main entrance of the harem, where all the kings and their wives were present.

The Queen Mother seemed to be in a good mood and was actually accompanied by several concubines.

The Queen Mother ascended to the throne facing south, and the concubines sat on both sides to accompany her.

A stage is set up in the south of the hall, where various performances and dances are performed.

The emperor and his concubines, princes and princesses had tea and wine to congratulate the queen mother on her eternal life.

After congratulations, everyone returned to their seats and sat down.

The music of congratulations was played over and over again, and the singers in the band used their loud and clear singing voices to sing birthday celebrations and toasts in harmony with the music.

As the most noble elder of this large, prominent and noble family, the Queen Mother can naturally enjoy a glory and pride that no one can appreciate.

Because it was a family banquet, the Queen Mother's dress was luxurious but not grand. She wore a green and gold dress with simple and refreshing patterns. Her hair was only decorated with jadeite and southern pearls, and her face was also lightly made up.

When the Queen Mother saw that there were more than a dozen concubines sitting under the table, she was very pleased and said to the emperor: "The emperor must have equal access to rain and dew so that the children in the harem can multiply."

After saying that, he said to the queen: "You are the master of the harem, so naturally you have to take care of the emperor a lot, and don't let him have any worries."

The emperor and the empress accepted the order, and the empress dowager had another conversation with the emperor and empress admiring the moon.

Although the Queen is her biological niece, she is only polite and distant, and is not very close. This also proves the truth of the rumors that the Queen Mother does not care for the Queen.

The Prince of Cause and Effect has been raised by the Queen Mother since Concubine Shu left the palace, and the Queen Mother became even more friendly to him when she saw him.

In front of everyone, the Queen Mother pulled him to sit next to her and said with a smile: "You are the most worried about the Ai family. It would be nice if someone comes to control you when the wedding comes. After all, the Ai family has treated your mother and concubine for so many years." There is an explanation.”

The civet smiled and said: "Don't worry, mother. If I find the person I like, I will definitely marry him and give my mother a blessing. However, the person I like is very rare."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said to the Emperor: "The Emperor also listens to this. Ladies from civil and military families throughout the dynasty, you can choose slowly by yourself. No matter what, as long as it is good, it doesn't matter if the lintel is lower."

The civet just smiled and said nothing, and the emperor said: "Don't worry, queen, maybe there will be someone he likes tomorrow."

The Queen Mother smiled helplessly: "I hope so, I have no choice but to leave it to him."

The Queen Mother gradually looked tired and returned to the palace first.

The concubines seemed to respect the Queen Mother very much. Seeing that the Queen Mother looked tired, they immediately accompanied her back to the palace. The family dinner was hosted by the Queen Mother.

The seats were arranged in descending order according to the rank of the concubines. An Lingrong had just been promoted and was separated from the emperor for a long time. When she looked up, she saw him sitting side by side with the queen. The bright yellow brocade robe made him look like a crown jewel, giving him the air of a king. instrument.

An Lingrong smiled slightly at him, and he obviously saw her. He also smiled at An Lingrong, his eyes were full of nostalgia, far away.

In public, An Lingrong hid her face, pretended to be shy, and drank a cup of wine with her head down.

When she looked up again, the emperor was already talking to the queen, but she saw that the emperor slightly raised his glass in her direction while no one was paying attention.

An Lingrong smiled knowingly at him, raised the glass in front of her and drank it.

During the dinner, the emperor frequently looked at An Lingrong and ordered Su Peisheng to personally share the dishes in front of him with An Lingrong, most of which were An Lingrong's favorite foods.

Although she couldn't speak due to restraint, she was still full of affection, which made An Lingrong feel happy.

After the family banquet was finally over, the Emperor naturally stayed in the Queen's Zhaoyang Palace on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the concubines went back to the palace to sleep.

Sitting on the sedan chair, the drunkenness just now came over me, my cheeks were hot, and my body became soft.

After returning to Yongshou Palace after the banquet, Baojuan and Baoping served An Lingrong to change out of her auspicious clothes and take off her makeup.

After washing her face cleanly, An Lingrong touched her face unconsciously and said, "My face is very hot. I did drink too much tonight."

Baojuan pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Everyone will get drunk without being drunk. The emperor was so pampered with the young lady during the banquet, and even the newly favored Yin Changzai couldn't take away half of it."
