I was a concubine in Legend of Zhen Huan

Because An Lingrong could give birth at any time, the Emperor did not go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat this year.

The Queen immediately expressed her understanding, saying that she didn't want to go to the Old Summer Palace either. Jiapin's belly was almost eight months pregnant, and even if she was lucky enough to escape during her pregnancy, wasn't there a saying among the people that when a woman gives birth, she is passing through the gates of hell?

She always finds the right time to strike!

Ulanala Yixiu, never give up!

Because of herself, the entire harem could not go with the emperor to escape the summer heat. An Lingrong felt very anxious. Did the emperor value her baby too much?

She knew that the emperor wanted her to give birth to another prince to fill the pain of losing his sons one after another, but what if she gave birth to a daughter?

An Lingrong would love her son or daughter, but she was afraid that if she gave birth to a daughter, the emperor would be unhappy. The princes in the palace were better off because they could earn a good future on their own when they grew up; but the life and death of the princess, honor and disgrace, all depended on the emperor's whim.

An Lingrong has not only been anxious about whether the baby in her belly is a boy or a girl recently, she is also worried about another thing.

She was already nearly eight months pregnant. According to the rules, concubines were allowed to send people from their mother's family to visit the palace when they were eight months pregnant. Tong's second son had already gone to Songyang. According to the calculations, his mother and aunt would be able to arrive in the capital in a few days.

An Lingrong was not as happy as she had imagined to be able to see her mother again.

Her feelings towards her mother were indeed complicated. She certainly loved her mother, and even her initial goal of rebirth was just to make her mother live more comfortably at home, but after watching the entire TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan", she also developed some resentment towards her mother.

Cao Qin did not mention that Concubine Jing was willing to go against Longyue, who was not her own daughter, and the favored Concubine Xi and Su Peisheng, who were highly valued at the time, for her. Why couldn't his mother fight for him?

Aunt Xiao couldn't stand it anymore and always provided shelter for me, so why was it that my biological mother only told me to be patient and swallow my anger?

The mother in my memory was always crying, as if hugging me and crying in a cowardly manner was the only thing she could do.

An Lingrong's entire childhood and adolescence were almost drowned in her mother's tears.

In the endless tears of her mother, her character gradually became sensitive and timid. When she was a little older, she tried to use inferior means to retaliate against the aunt and half-brothers who had bullied her and her mother. Gradually, she became dark-minded and cruel...

During the time when An Lingrong was feeling sad and depressed due to pregnancy syndrome, the day arrived for An's mother and Aunt Xiao to enter the palace.

When relatives meet, they naturally cry with joy. An's mother and Aunt Xiao just miss each other very much because they haven't seen each other for five years, but An Lingrong will meet her mother again after a lifetime.

When they first met, everyone had a lot to talk about. An Lingrong asked in detail about the current situation at home, whether her father was still doing well, whether the concubines at home were still quiet, whether her half-brothers and half-sisters would still cause trouble, whether the nanny sent by the Nian family came with them this time, whether her mother and concubine Xiao had a smooth journey...

Mother An just kept crying, so Aunt Xiao had to answer for her one by one.

The aide from the Nian Mansion had a way of dealing with An Bihuai, and he coaxed An Bihuai into devoting all his energy to finding some worthless and uncommon gadgets. Now he had no intention of embezzling or spending time on the backyard.

With the help of the nanny sent by the Nian Mansion, the women and children in the backyard were disciplined and obedient. Seeing that Xiao Yi Niang's son could worship the great scholar as his master, they knew that it was all thanks to An Lingrong, and they all tried their best to please An Lingrong.

The nanny given by the Nian Mansion accompanied them to the capital this time. Now she has returned to the capital and is living in her own home for the time being.

Speaking of going to the capital, Aunt Xiao praised Manager Tong's second son for his reliable work. No one suffered any hardship on the way to the capital this time. Baoshu was also happy to hear Aunt Xiao praising her second brother.

Ever since their family took refuge under the young lady's wing, not only did they no longer have to spend a ton of money on management, but now his second brother has even married the daughter of an official!

Although her second sister-in-law's father did not hold a high official position, their family was originally a group of merchants who were not well-known, and her second brother was not the eldest son, so it was already very good for him to marry the daughter of an official family.

Baoshu also knew that his family's current future was all thanks to the fact that he followed a good master, so he served An Lingrong even more wholeheartedly.

After An Lingrong finished asking her questions, Aunt Xiao also started to ask about how she was doing in the palace. As everyone chatted and laughed and the atmosphere became harmonious, Mother An's tears finally stopped.

Today, the emperor gave face to An Lingrong. Knowing that her mother and aunt had entered the palace, he came to Yongshou Palace specially to accompany An Lingrong. In the evening, he also had dinner with An's mother and aunt Xiao.

When dinner just started, Mother An and Aunt Xiao were a little nervous, but the Emperor was very friendly and took good care of An Lingrong during the meal, so Mother An and Aunt Xiao were barely relieved.

There is some truth in the saying that "afar is fragrant, near is smelly". Even though An Lingrong had some resentment towards her mother before they met, she mostly remembered her good points.

Whenever they met now, Aunt Xiao knew that she was more concerned about her situation in the palace, but her mother kept talking about how her father had changed for the better and asked her to work more in front of the emperor to seek benefits for her father An Bihuai, her half brothers and sisters, and the entire An family.

Mother An's repeated words asking An Lingrong to be the demon who subdues her father destroyed the tenderness deep in An Lingrong's heart.

The mother filter that was once so thick that it could not be melted is almost shattered.

Perhaps the baby in her belly sensed An Lingrong's unhappiness and felt sorry for her mother, so on the fifteenth day after An's mother and Aunt Xiao entered the palace, An Lingrong went into labor.

Concubine Hua took care of Hongchang and Wen Yi herself, and asked Nanny Kong to rush to Yongshou Palace as soon as possible and follow the same procedures as when Concubine Hua gave birth.

Nanny Kong brought several midwives who had been used before to accompany An Lingrong inside; Baoshu took Baomo and Baoyan to the small kitchen to boil hot water and food for An Lingrong; Concubine Xiang and Concubine Li dealt with the emperor, empress and other concubines who came to visit outside; Aunt Xiao...she was responsible for comforting An's mother.

Everything was ready, and two hours later, Concubine Jia successfully gave birth to the emperor's third princess.

The emperor was overjoyed and personally named the princess Ni Chuhe, which is Manchu for pearl.

Giving the princess this name means treating her as the apple of your eye.

An Lingrong felt relieved when she heard the name. Since the emperor named the princess Ni Chuhe, he probably didn't blame her for only giving birth to a daughter. Moreover, it seemed that the emperor really liked Ni Chuhe. This was the first of his daughters to be given a Manchu name.

After Ni Chuhe's third-day baptism ceremony, An Lingrong asked her mother An and Aunt Xiao to go back.

The emperor felt sorry for her relatives who lived too far away from the capital and it was not easy for them to see each other, so he said that he could allow her mother and aunt to stay for a few more days.

An Lingrong refused: "When a concubine is pregnant, her mother can enter the palace to accompany her for about 20 days before giving birth, usually not more than a month. This is the palace rule. I am a concubine under the emperor's tutelage. It is a great blessing for me to allow Xiao concubine to enter the palace with me. How can I ask the emperor to make an exception for me? Isn't this embarrassing for the emperor? I don't want the emperor to suffer any criticism. I don't want the emperor to be embarrassed."

She said this to coax the emperor, but only An Lingrong herself knew what she was thinking in her heart.

The next day, Mother An and Aunt Xiao came to say goodbye.

An Lingrong leaned against the head of the bed, watching the backs of Mother An and Aunt Xiao walking further and further away, feeling that the weight of them in her heart seemed to be becoming lighter and lighter as the distance between them increased.
