An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Golden Partridge

Chapter 1.rebirth

The walls of the Forbidden City are tall and thick, like a cage that can never be escaped. The setting sun pours down like blood, covering the blue bricks and black tiles in a gorgeous color.The ears were filled with chaotic noises, and amidst the smog, the golden body of the Buddha fell in front of his eyes, shining brightly, but the compassion in his eyes made people tremble.

With a clear bell, An Lingrong suddenly opened his eyes.

The voices in the dream faded away like a noisy tide, she sat up slowly, glanced around blankly, and then lowered her eyes to look at her slender and thin palm, with a flash of astonishment in her eyes.

what happened?

Isn't she dead?

The bitterness in the almond mouth seems to have not dissipated, and the pain from being slapped seems to be still on the cheeks, but... An Lingrong pinched his leg hard, and tears came out of his eyes due to the pain.

This is real!

An Lingrong put on his coat and got out of bed, and walked slowly to the mirror.

Even though she already had an absurd answer in her heart, she was still taken aback by herself in the mirror—this was clearly her young self!
An Lingrong looked around, opened a corner of the window and looked out, the hustle and bustle that belonged only to the capital suddenly rushed in.Suddenly, the memory flowed, and she remembered the scene at this moment.

The new emperor ascends the throne, the year of the draft.

Her father ran left and right for nearly three months. I don't know how many connections he had to put her in the draft team. With the hope of the whole family, she came to the capital with no relatives and nowhere to stay. In a small restaurant, the shopkeeper saw that she was from a small place and made things difficult for her everywhere. Even if she was selected, she couldn't hide the contempt in her eyes.

Helpless, An Lingrong could only let Aunt Xiao run around with the money in order to maintain her tiny self-esteem.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he probably just entered Beijing not long ago.

An Lingrong let out a breath of foul air slowly, and closed the window.Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, she carefully looked at herself in the mirror, recalling all kinds of past lives.

Thin, weak, with a sense of poverty and stinginess all over his body.

Her family background was something she cared about in her previous life until she died. It was a gap between her and Zhen Huan Meizhuang, which could never be bridged, and she fell into the abyss because of it.

One wrong step, one wrong step, from the time when Xiangxiang framed the nobleman Fucha, she has no turning back.

In her previous life, she regretted too many things. Even though she always said she was forced to do so, she knew that the Queen's persecution was only a catalyst. What really led her to a dead end was her own vanity, and her final death was nothing but her own fault.

But why can't she be freed by death?Once again, what should she do?
An Lingrong combed her long hair, her thoughts were in a mess.

She thought that death was her final outcome.

But now...

Did God ask her to atone for her sin?

No, she doesn't want to enter the palace anymore.

The fights and fights among the concubines were piled up with numerous corpses, filled with blood.If you are not favored, you are not as good as a dog, and everyone can come up and step on it; if you are favored, you will be humiliated and made things even more difficult, not to mention, even if you are favored...

An Lingrong paused slightly, and a bitter smile spread from the corner of his mouth.

What's more, the emperor has never loved me half.

From An's family to Concubine Li, she has never received half of the emperor's love in her whole life.If she had a choice, she would never want to step into that palace again in this life.

However, if you don't enter the palace...

An Lingrong closed her eyes, thinking of her mother's aging face, her father's confession before parting, and those wolf-like aunts and concubines in the mansion, a look of hatred appeared in her eyes.

In her last life, she had no choice.

In this life, she still has no choice.

Since God asked her to come back to make amends, then let her make amends. The matter has come to this point, it is no different to think about it, but it is time to think about how to solve the current predicament.

"Hey, Missy got up, come and taste the hot buns, I just bought them downstairs." Just as she was thinking, Aunt Xiao suddenly pushed the door open, holding a paper bag in her arms, steaming from it, The aroma of minced meat permeated immediately.

An Lingrong frowned imperceptibly: "I'm weak, I can't eat this kind of meat, Auntie just eat it."

Aunt Xiao immediately smiled, sat down and poured herself a cup of tea, and ate a meat bun in two bites.

An Lingrong thought for a while, sat down on the other side, looked at Aunt Xiao, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Auntie, did father give you a lot of money when he was leaving the house?"

Aunt Xiao paused, almost choked on a mouthful of steamed stuffed buns, hurriedly drank her saliva, forced a smile in her eyes, and said, "Why did the eldest lady suddenly ask about this? But thinking about it is not thoughtful, do you need money? You just Tell me, I will help you make arrangements properly." As he spoke, he poured An Lingrong a glass of water in a flattering manner.

An Lingrong's eyes flashed, and he blocked the deep meaning in his eyes by drinking water.

In her previous life, she believed in Aunt Xiao wholeheartedly, thinking that Aunt Xiao respected her mother very much and was extremely respectful to her when she was at home. Before going out, her father specially ordered Aunt Xiao to accompany her to Beijing. Listen to Aunt Xiao's arrangement.

But if you think about it carefully, there are also shortcomings.

She has always had a weak stomach and can't eat too greasy food. It is impossible for Aunt Xiao to know this. However, after entering Beijing, the meals were mainly meat. Aunt Xiao herself was happy to eat, but she couldn't take a few mouthfuls. I thought it was the negligence of the restaurant, but I never thought that it might be Aunt Xiao's handwriting.

Entering Beijing, the bustling and charming eyes, Aunt Xiao naturally took care of herself first with the money in her pocket.

However, without money, she, a candidate for the show, had to save money, so it was no wonder that others looked down on her.

Seeing that An Lingrong remained silent for a long time, Aunt Xiao secretly broke into a cold sweat, and a smile appeared on her fat face: "Master did indeed give my concubine a sum of money before he left home, and said that after entering Beijing, he had to spend money everywhere." Take some care, but the eldest lady knows the situation at home, the master really didn’t give much, and she even told me to save some money..." After a pause, he continued, "Besides, the travel expenses back here will also cost a lot. , the concubine has to think about everything, doesn't she?"

These words can be said openly, An Lingrong raised his eyebrows.

If she is selected, Aunt Xiao will be alone when she goes back, and the rest of the money will naturally go into her pocket.

"My aunt thinks everything about it." An Lingrong's face darkened. He has infiltrated the harem for many years, and after all he has cultivated an aura. Even though he is young, it is more than enough to scare an aunt. One day, I couldn’t choose because of other things, and when I got home, I talked to my father, who do you think father will blame first?”

Aunt Xiao was in a cold sweat from shock, she wondered why the eldest lady was so powerful today, she muttered for a long while, and couldn't bear to explain it all: "Miss Mingjian, the master gave the concubine 200 taels of silver before leaving the house, and the madam gave me an extra The concubine is 50 taels of silver. Excluding the travel expenses when going to Beijing and the expenses of the past few days, there are still 230 taels of silver left."

An Lingrong's hand holding the teacup tightened suddenly.

250 two!
This is almost all the savings of the family!
An Lingrong suddenly understood why his father would explain to her like that before going out.

……

"Rong'er, entering the palace is the best way out that my father can plan for you. You must always remember that you are the daughter of the An family and the jewel in your father's palm. Even if you enter the capital and the palace, don't feel that Inferior to others. Only when one respects oneself can one gain the respect of others."

……

A deep sense of powerlessness swept over An Lingrong.

An Bihuai devoted all his heart and soul to An Lingrong. He asked Aunt Xiao to bring all the savings of the family to Beijing, so that An Lingrong could be an official lady in the capital. Straighten your spine so that you won't make people laugh.

But An Lingrong in his previous life didn't know this from beginning to end.

She guarded her little self-esteem and went astray step by step, but she didn't know that she was wrong from the very beginning.

An Lingrong slammed the teacup on the table, obviously without a word of scolding, but Aunt Xiao was so frightened that she stood obediently aside with her head down, sweating coldly.

The air froze for a long time, until Aunt Xiao's feet were numb, An Lingrong said slowly: "Since my father has entrusted you, I don't want to interfere with the money matters, I will just leave everything to Auntie." done."

Aunt Xiao didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief, she didn't even have the courage to raise her head to meet An Lingrong's eyes, she just replied softly: "Yes, Miss, just confess to me as a concubine."

"It's more than half a month before the draft, so I can't stay in the restaurant all the time. My aunt sent some money to ask people if there is any small guest house nearby that can be rented for three or two months. No matter how big it is, there are Just enter the courtyard, don't be too remote, and be closer to the main street. Let's rent a carriage and hire a servant. We will only take this one when we go out during this time." An Lingrong weighed lightly Cup cover, said slowly, "Auntie will arrange these two matters first."

Aunt Xiao repeatedly said yes.

Seeing that Aunt Xiao was so nervous that her hands and feet could not move freely, An Lingrong reached out and patted her arm, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Auntie, I know. It was really hard work for you to accompany me all the way to Beijing. If I can be selected smoothly, naturally Your benefits are also indispensable."

This sentence seems to be a reward, but it is also a beating.

If you are exhausted all the way, you can naturally get some money, but the priorities are very important. If you are too greedy, don't blame her for being merciless.

An Lingrong smiled, and then said: "The third brother is about to go to school. I will persuade my father to find a good private school for the third brother. With the intelligence of the third brother, my aunt may have a chance in the future." You can enter Beijing."

Aunt Xiao was overjoyed, isn't this about going to Beijing for the exam?It's amazing, it has to be an example.Aunt Xiao suddenly raised her head, but she looked at An Lingrong, the joy in her eyes faded away, she felt like she was falling into the ice cellar, she didn't dare to have other thoughts, she kept expressing that she would do a good job.

Seeing Aunt Xiao hurriedly leaving the house, An Lingrong heaved a long sigh of relief, pushed open the window, and took another deep breath.

In her last life, she couldn't control her life at all.

In this life, she has to decide everything by herself.

　I want to give An Lingrong a life that belongs to her.
