An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Golden Partridge

Chapter 27.lost soul

An Lingrong bit his lips in embarrassment, and looked at the emperor with beautiful eyes: "The concubine just hopes that the emperor will be happy, and the concubine can bear the rest."

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, she continued: "The concubine comes from a humble background. She has neither outstanding appearance nor special skills. Being favored by the emperor is a blessing in her previous life. How dare you think about it? The concubine is pleased with the emperor. , as long as the emperor has a little pity, the courtiers will be satisfied. If the emperor is happy, the courtiers will be happy, and for the rest, the courtiers will not ask for anything."

The emperor's heart was touched, and his soft words fell into his ears, as if they were about to penetrate into his heart. He couldn't help comparing her with Zhen Huan, and found that he couldn't choose for a while.

Huanhuan's appearance is outstanding, and she is eight points like Chunyuan, touching his heart that has been silent for many years. In addition, she is full of poems and books.

Rong'er's voice is unique, almost exactly the same as Chunyuan's. Sometimes when she closes her eyes and listens to her sing a few lines, it's as if Chunyuan is by her side. Make him feel at ease, even if it is a queen, it is hard to be as caring as she is.

Moreover, Rong'er is more in awe. Perhaps it is because of his low birth that he looks up to the imperial power more and more. It seems that the family teachers often have this intention.

The emperor suddenly remembered that Jiangsu and Zhejiang reported that more than half of this year's taxes had been collected, and Songyang, Chuzhou, had achieved outstanding results, which he said was due to the county magistrate Jiang Wenqing.Among them, I don't know who is pretending to be famous...

"My Rong'er is the most caring." The emperor hugged An Lingrong and sighed, "Don't wrong yourself, I promise you, you can ask for more."

An Lingrong stretched out his arms and hugged the emperor's neck, pressed himself and the emperor tightly together, and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

It remained tender for a long time, until Su Peisheng came to ask Zhang Tingyu to see him, An Lingrong left the Qinzheng Hall and walked all the way towards Bitong Academy.

Sure enough, Shen Meizhuang had arrived and was talking to Zhen Huan. Seeing that An Lingrong had returned, the two quickly got up and asked her if the emperor was still angry.

"The emperor should not be angry anymore. He also said that he will come to sister Wan for dinner. Let me come back and tell her." An Lingrong sat down at the round table and took a sip of water. "I'm thirsty, give it to me quickly." Pour two more glasses."

Her eager appearance made Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang laugh, and Zhen Huan hurriedly poured tea for her before sitting down with Shen Meizhuang.

"Sister Wan, didn't I just tell you not to conflict with Zhenguan's daughter? Why did you make the emperor angry again?" An Lingrong only talked about this matter, "I heard what the emperor said, but it was all for my sister's sake. Consider it."

Zhen Huan was also very annoyed: "Cao Guiren set up two traps in a row waiting for me to fall into the trap. I avoided the first one, but before I could react, I fell into the second trap. I couldn't hold back the fire on the side."

"Oh, I heard Concubine Cao always tell me to be careful." Shen Meizhuang also frowned, "If Concubine Hua is an eagle, Cao Guiren is her wings; if Concubine Hua is a tiger, Cao Guiren is her sharp claws , We have underestimated such a person before."

An Lingrong nodded to Shen Meizhuang: "I noticed it earlier when I was in Concubine Li's Palace. Although Mrs. Cao is usually silent, she can always speak out at critical moments. No wonder Concubine Hua has been staying behind for so many years. She's by my side." After a pause, she looked at Zhen Huan again and asked, "So what happened to my sister? I coaxed the emperor with a half-knowledge, and I don't know the reason."

"I was waiting for you to come back and talk about it." Shen Meizhuang patted An Lingrong's hand, and looked at Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan asked all the maids accompanying her to retreat, and then said: "Sister Mei, Sister Rong, do you still remember the day when I was named noble?" Seeing that the two nodded in unison, she continued, "I was a little bit awkward when I first met the emperor. Because, at that time, I didn't know the emperor. The emperor was afraid that I would be restrained if I knew his identity, so he lied that he was the king of Guojun. After Yu's publicity, the emperor revealed his identity to me. Just now in Qinzheng Hall, Cao Guiren I used this to make trouble, so that the emperor thought that I was interested in King Guojun first."

"Ms. Zhenguan must have said this!" Shen Meizhuang frowned, and patted the table slightly, "Huan'er has never even seen King Guo's face, so why would you want to say it?"

"I've never seen it, so I've heard of it. There are rumors outside that the Seventeenth Prince is suave, proficient in playing chess, calligraphy, painting, riding and archery. The meaning of getting married." An Lingrong thought of the reputation of the Guojun King in his previous life, and suddenly remembered something.

At that time, Zhen Huan had already returned to the palace to give birth to twins. The Guerjia family slandered Zhen Huan for having an affair with Imperial Physician Wen.

That day, when Mrs. Qi said, "The concubine wants to report Concubine Xi's adultery and mess up the harem", An Lingrong clearly saw that Zhen Huan was a little nervous, but he was relieved when he heard the name of Imperial Physician Wen. Obviously, Zhen Huan in her previous life did have an affair with someone else, but that person was not Doctor Wen.

Zhen Huan in this life suddenly mentioned this matter, and An Lingrong had a bold idea in his heart - that person, he couldn't be King Guo, right?
As soon as this idea came up, An Lingrong quickly shook his head and denied it.This is too absurd, Guojun Wang in the previous life can be regarded as Zhen Huan's brother-in-law!He married Huanbi as a side Fujin.

I don't know who the king of Guojun will marry in this life, but Huanbi has already become the emperor's woman.

"I explained it carefully to convince the emperor to believe me, but in the end... Zhen Guan's lady was talking on the sidelines. She only heard that Guo Jun Wang was good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she didn't think that her archery skills were also extremely superb." Zhen Huan said with a face. There was a look of anger on the face, "She has never been in touch with these princes, so why did she hear that Guojun Wang is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Could it be that I talked to her every day?"

"Ms. Zhenguan is really miserable. What's more, you are her former master. You are so arrogant once you gain power, and you are not afraid of hurting yourself in the end." Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan and said with a frown.

Zhen Huan didn't know what to think of, her eyes dimmed: "I'm afraid that she will not only harm herself, but also my whole family of Zhen family." She sighed deeply, and continued, "After she said that, Cao Guiren was on the sidelines talking about the fact that the empress called Zhenguan's daughter "Zhen Shi" a few days ago, and the Fucha nobleman mistook her for me, and thought about giving her a title. I... I looked at her With that proud look, she blurted out, why don't you give her the word Bi..."

"Sister is confused!" An Lingrong suddenly understood, and couldn't help scolding, "How can you give a title to Zhenguan's daughter?"

Shen Meizhuang also looked frightened: "No wonder the emperor is angry, Huan'er, you are really reckless."

Zhen Huan also knew that she had acted inappropriately, and now she was afraid for a while: "The rest of the matter is just like that. The lady of Zhenguan said aggrievedly for a long time before the emperor let her go back. At that time, I didn't know what happened. Thinking about being patient is like losing your mind, and you just blurt out."

An Lingrong's eyebrows twitched, and she sensed something was wrong, but it was fleeting, and she swiped past it before she had time to catch it.

"Fortunately, Rong'er came in time today, otherwise I don't know what to do." Zhen Huan held An Lingrong's hand tightly and said, "Actually, I have already regretted leaving the Qinzheng Hall, but I don't know what to do." Then go back to the palace, sister Rong, thank you very much."

"My sister and the emperor are doing well, and everything else is easy to talk about." An Lingrong persuaded her, "It's getting late, my sister should hurry up and get the small kitchen ready, and have a good talk with the emperor tonight. Listen, the emperor still wants to talk about it." I feel sorry for my sister more."

Shen Meizhuang also nodded.

After returning to Fanying Hall, An Lingrong took a nap after lunch, and woke up in the middle of his sleep: "Dill!"

"My lord, the servant is here." Dill hurriedly opened the curtain and walked in.

"Bring the Passion Book in my bookcase." An Lingrong put on clothes in a hurry, stepped on her shoes and walked down.

Dill didn't know, so seeing that An Lingrong was in a hurry, he hurried to get it.

An Lingrong clattered through the finger-thick Baixiang manual, trying to find it from memory.

Although Baixiangpu is named Baixiang, it actually records the ingredients and production methods of thousands of incenses. An Lingrong only browsed through it in her previous life. Although I don't want to get favored by incense anymore, but I always have to be on guard, so I occasionally look through it carefully. Just now, when Zhen Huan said "it's like losing my mind", she felt a little weird. Now she calms down, she Just suddenly remembered this.

"I found it." An Lingrong's finger stayed on one of the pages, and saw the words "Lost Soul Fragrance" written on it, with turbulent emotions in his eyes, he looked around carefully, and finally his eyes fell on the result, " Those who use this incense will find it hard to restrain their agitation, often act frivolously, have inconsistencies in their minds, and behave abnormally, hence the name Lost Soul."

Dill was startled: "My lord, is this fragrance so powerful?"

"That's not true. The effect of this incense is only temporary. As long as you stop using the incense, you can rest for two days." An Lingrong closed the book and breathed a sigh of relief. Suiyuxuan is gone, Bitong Academy should be fine, you take Doukou over there, explain the matter to Mr. Guan, and take a look for my sister to see if there is any residue in her body."

Dill was also relieved to know that the fragrance of lost soul was not used on An Lingrong, and bent down to accept the order.

An Lingrong lay back on the bed again, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

This life is more difficult than the previous life.In her previous life, she was honored by Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang. Even though she was not favored by the emperor, she lived peacefully for more than half a year. Apart from her daily struggles with herself, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not treat her lightly, and it was also because she was not gracious Beloved, she has never participated in the harem disputes - at least, not like now, with her heart in her throat every day.

At night, the bamboo courtyard was brightly lit, and the Qingliang Hall of Concubine Hua was magnificently decorated, with Cao Guiren and Zhen Yuyin standing under the seats.

"I personally went to mention it to the emperor. The emperor promised to give you the title of Bi character, and also promoted you as a promise. The decree will come tomorrow. Remember to thank you." Concubine Hua lazily leaned on the back of the chair, Without even looking at Zhen Yuyin, "Don't say that the character Bi is taken from your previous name when you were a slave, even if you become a concubine, you will still be a slave here in this palace. If Cao Guiren didn't say how much you deserve No, I don't even bother to pay attention to you."

Zhen Yuyin's face turned green and pale, but she still bowed her head in salute: "Concubine, thank you for your kindness."

Cao Guiren glanced at her, then smiled and said to Concubine Hua: "Your Majesty, today the nobleman Wan is disrespectful in front of the palace again, so it can be seen that the incense was used very well, and this is thanks to Bi's promise!"

Concubine Hua snorted coldly and laughed: "It's a pity, that incense is only used in Suiyuxuan, Bitong Academy should only use fragrant flowers, not spices." She stopped burning incense in Suiyuxuan, don't be aware of anything."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Zhen Huan doesn't burn incense in the hot summer. The concubine deliberately picks this time to do it, just to leave no traces." Zhen Yuyin said flatteringly, "I just used it as big as a fingernail, and the rest Nothing was left behind, and even if Zhen Huan came to her senses and went to investigate, she couldn't find anything."

Only then did Concubine Hua look at her intently, and suddenly smiled: "Zhen Huan is still soft-hearted, and won't do anything to you, if you are someone close to me..." Concubine Hua snorted coldly, and did not continue.

Zhen Yuyin didn't understand, but Cao Guiren did.

The last one who tried to climb up by stepping on his master was Fuzi.Concubine Hua didn't get angry when facing the emperor, she turned her head and found the wrong place to take care of Fuzi, she was straightforward and didn't even touch her afterward, unlike Zhen Huan, she left Zhen Yuyin with her life, just to add to her embarrassment.

"You are so young!" Concubine Hua sighed, and waved the two of them back.

As night fell, it became hotter and hotter.

Jianqiu walked slowly into the Queen's bedroom, bowed and bowed: "Your Majesty, the slaves have followed your instructions to order the Imperial Dining Room to reduce the regular dishes in each palace and courtyard, and use more vegetarian dishes."

"Okay, the emperor wants the harem to be frugal, and this palace especially has to set an example." The queen was looking at the Buddhist scriptures, and suddenly straightened up and said, "Concubine Hua and Concubine Qi have high status, and they must be the same as this palace. Other concubines Only then will you be convinced."

Jian Qiu flattered: "Your Majesty is wise."

But the queen sneered, and nodded to Jianqiu: "It's not Bengong who is wise, the idea of ​​halving the regular dishes was brought up by Shen Guiren in front of the emperor. I can't take this credit and painstaking effort from her."

She lowered her eyes and continued to read the Buddhist scriptures, the smile on the corner of her mouth concealed endless coldness.
