An Lingrong after rebirth

Chapter 224: Old Stories

"Your Majesty is kind-hearted. I admire you."

"What else? Is there anyone else?" An Lingrong did not dwell on this matter. After a pause, she spoke again.

Qiu Fang thought for a moment and shook her head, "Dr. Luo's parents were still alive a few years ago, but they both passed away two years ago.

I heard that he was ill, but I didn't hear Doctor Luo mention it, so I don't know the reason."

Doctor Luo looks to be around 40 years old?

"Yes, I turned 40 this year. Qiufang's confidence caused An Lingrong's expression to change slightly, but I don't know what Qiufang was thinking, so she didn't notice An Lingrong's change for a while."

"Forget it. How others behave is their own fate. Go to Yonghe Palace and ask Sister Mei to bring the children to have dinner."

"Yes, I will go right away," Qiufang replied, and turned to leave. An Lingrong looked at her from behind and began to think.

Look at Qiufang's appearance, is there any story between her and Luo Rui?

"Ordinary palace maids can leave the palace when they turn 25. If Qiufang is over the age of 25 and still hasn't left the palace, she will either become a maid."

"Either you become an old man who is close to the concubines. When I first met Qiu Fang, she looked to be only thirty years old."

"She's not that old now, so even if Luo Rui and Qiu Fang had some past, An Lingrong wouldn't find it strange."

"I have been in the palace for so many years, and Qiufang has helped me to peel off a lot. If she really has some ideas, An Lingrong will not deliberately stop her."

"There are many heartless people in the harem. It's hard to find true lovers. There's no need to separate them all!"

"But as Qiufang said, Luo Rui still has a wife and children at home. Maybe this is just Qiufang's wishful thinking."

It’s so hard to do…

"An Lingrong propped her head up with her hands, feeling a little annoyed for a moment. Qiufang and Luo Rui were both used to it, but when it came to someone else, she would inevitably hesitate for a moment."

"If this matter is used well, it will naturally be a good thing, but if you are not careful, it will inevitably become an enemy."

"After frowning for a moment, An Lingrong's eyes lit up and she suddenly thought of someone. Perhaps these old stories could be dug up."

"In the blink of an eye, the Sixth Princess is already one month old. With Hong Zhao and the other children around, An Lingrong doesn't care whether others are suspicious of why she, her classmate Shi Lan, has suddenly become so close to her."

"He just said that Hong Zhao missed his sister, so he greeted her early in the morning, let the two children have breakfast, and then took the children to Yikun Palace."

As soon as Hong Zhao and Hong Jun entered the room, they crowded around Nian Shilan and said, "Greetings to Mother Hua!"

"A well-behaved child with a chubby face is always adorable. Nian Shilan just finished putting on her makeup, and after hearing this, she reached out and said, "Get up quickly."

The two thanked her and stood up to look at Nian Shilan, "Mother Hua, Zhao'er wants to see his sister, but mother won't let him come. I wonder if he can see his sister today."

"Nian Shilan gently pinched Hongzhao's little face and said, "Of course you can. If the Sixth Prince wants to see his sister in the future, he can bring his brother here by himself. You don't have to ask mother."

The crab roe rice cakes at Hua E Niang are delicious!

"When the two children heard this, they acted greedy. Seeing Nian Shilan laughing, they quickly asked Songzhi to order people to prepare crab roe rice flour cakes."

"An Lingrong watched this scene from behind, shook her head and laughed, 'Your Highness, if the Imperial Concubine spoils them like this, I'm afraid I'll be troubled again when I return to Chengqian Palace.'"

"Nian Shilan smiled and looked up at An Lingrong. I think it's Concubine Shu who has to be so strict. These two children look good. How can they be like you said?"

"As they were talking, the wet nurse brought the Sixth Princess over. An Lingrong quickly held the two children down. The younger sister is still young, so keep your voices down. If you make her cry, mother will be angry and beat you up."

"The two children are shaking their heads like rattles. Don't worry, mom, we won't make a fuss!"

Concubine Shu, let them go. I hope the princess can be as lively as Zhao'er in the future!

"An Lingrong let go of her hand, and the two children really slowed down their steps and walked to the princess, mumbling non-stop. No one knew what they were talking about."

"An Lingrong finally had time to sit down and said, 'I heard that today is the princess's full moon banquet, and the emperor personally ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make good arrangements!'"

"Nian Shilan's smile faded slightly as she spoke. "My Nian family has seen everything, so why would we care about what he calls a grand full moon banquet?"

The Empress was right. An Lingrong didn't want to say anything more about this matter. It was just a casual chat. After sitting for a while, gifts from various palaces were delivered one after another.

"Nian Shilan didn't care about these things and asked Songzhi to take them hastily, intending to send them to the warehouse. An Lingrong looked at the pile of things with some hesitation in her eyes."

There are a lot of good things in here. Seeing that Songzhi was about to go out and call for help, An Lingrong couldn't help but finally said, "Wait..."

Nian Shilan can’t have children anymore, but if this thing is used on the princess, that would be…

The child is innocent!

Whatever Concubine Shu likes, she can just pick it up. An Lingrong didn't care about Nian Shilan's attitude. She stood up and walked to the table, picked up a brocade box and opened it.

There were so many people around just now that I didn't notice it. I wonder if Miss Songzhi still remembers who sent it? After hearing this, Songzhi turned around and saw a red jade bead fork with a pure color that was very beautiful.

After taking a closer look, Songzhi responded: In reply to Madam Shufei, this pearl hairpin was sent by the eunuch serving Concubine Qi.

"Noble Lady Qi?" An Lingrong said with a smile. Then, "Noble Lady, this is a good thing. Miss Songzhi, smell it. Does it have a strange fragrance?"

Nian Shilan knew that An Lingrong was the one with the perfume nose. How could she not understand what she said?

Without waiting for Songzhi to speak, she slapped the table, saying, "How dare you, bitch, plot against me?"

"The gifts sent today are all for the princess. Your Majesty, think about it. If these gifts are really used by the princess in the future, then what will happen..."

"An Lingrong's words made Nian Shilan's face red with anger. But she didn't expect that the other party didn't stop at all. She picked up two boxes and handed them to Songzhi. There were also problems with these two things."

Songzhi, who sent this? How could Songzhi not know from Nian Shilan's tone that they were obviously very angry. She knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, one is Noble Lady Fucha, and the other is Noble Lady Rou."

Nian Shilan clenched her hands, "Bitch, you are not a good person at all. You actually set your sights on my child."

"An Lingrong saw that the other party was about to explode, so she hurried forward a few steps to comfort him, saying, "Your Highness, calm down. Although these things were sent by several nobles, it is hard to say who had the intention."

If this matter was exposed rashly, it would inevitably make the emperor unhappy. An Lingrong certainly knew that Nian Shilan had the capital to use this as an excuse to get angry.

"But I didn't. Today's incident was obviously the Queen's doing. Concubine Qi, Concubine Fucha, and Concubine Rou are almost certainly the Queen's people."

But these things were pointed out by herself. If Nian Shilan got angry and caused the Emperor to conduct a thorough investigation, it would be fine even if the Queen was not involved.

But if any of the three was stupid enough to betray the queen, wouldn't the queen mother blame her for being nosy? So from An Lingrong's perspective, it would be fine if Nian Shilan discovered these dirty things.

"There is really no need to let people find out that it was my role in this matter. If these things are delivered, Nian Shilan will find traces of musk in them. Wouldn't that let the emperor find out that she already knew the truth about Huan Yi Xiang?"

At that time, how could I, who helped Nian Shilan mix new spices, live in peace?

"As for the so-called emotion and reason, this is not the time for Nian Shilan to get angry. She has even bullied me, and I can't say a few more words?"

An Lingrong was able to think these things through, but Nian Shilan couldn't. The words she spoke still sounded extremely angry.

"An Lingrong felt helpless and could only continue to speak: "Your Majesty, these things were just delivered by the servants. We don't know whether they passed through other people on the way."

"And if Your Majesty finds out that these things contain musk so quickly, how will you explain it to the Emperor? What about the matter of Huan Yi Xiang?"

I am willing to help Your Majesty because I think of your motherly love. If Your Majesty has a fit at this moment and the Emperor finds out that it was I who changed the formula of Huan Yi Xiang for Your Majesty.

Then, will this concubine be able to live safely in the harem in this life? An Lingrong's words made Nian Shilan's expression slightly relieved.

An Lingrong then breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Your Majesty is angry, and I understand. If anyone wants to attack Hongzhao, I will do everything I can to take revenge."

"But now is not a good time. If you want to plot against them, there will be opportunities in the future. An Lingrong's words finally calmed Nian Shilan down."

I let out a long sigh. I was impulsive. Don't worry, I will always remember your help to me and will not put you in danger.

In that case, thank you very much, Your Majesty.

I should thank you. If it weren't for you, if these harmful things were left in Yikun Palace, who knows what would have happened.

"An Lingrong smiled after hearing this, turned her eyes to the two children surrounding the princess, and said: Today is the princess's full moon, the emperor will surely give her a name."

I don’t care whether the child is given a name or not. As long as he grows up safely, I will be satisfied.

Your Majesty is right. As mothers, all we ask for and wish for are for our children, and we completely forget about ourselves.

"After hearing this, Nian Shilan turned around and looked at An Lingrong. "Shu Fei's words sounded sad. Have you suffered any injustice?"

"An Lingrong shook her head. Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I have not been wronged. I just said it casually. Your Majesty, don't mind it."

Yes, you will naturally feel happy if you have sons and daughters.

After Nian Shilan finished speaking, Hong Zhao beside her suddenly spoke up; Mother, is my sister the Sixth Princess? Yes, my sister is the Sixth Princess "My Lord, I am the Sixth Prince, how great."

After hearing this, Nian Shilan's lips curled up and a smile appeared on her face.

…………

The Sixth Princess' full-month banquet went smoothly, and just as An Lingrong had expected, the Emperor gave the princess a name at the banquet.

"Minghui" means noble, pure, long-lived and wealthy.

"Except for Jinyu, who was born to An Lingrong, the Sixth Princess is the only one whose name is different from the others. This shows how much the Emperor loves this princess."

"I don't know why, but even Hong Zhao is very interested in the Sixth Princess. Ever since the full moon banquet, he has been pestering An Lingrong to go to Yikun Palace from time to time."

"But An Lingrong felt that Nian Shilan was not someone she could confide in. Given the current situation, she might not be an ally in his heart, so she didn't go there very often."

"After the full moon banquet, nothing special happened in the harem for a while. Life passed leisurely. From afar, it looked like the weather was about to get hot."

"After waking up from their afternoon nap, An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang brought their five children into the Imperial Garden. Qiu Fang was sent to teach the new maids the rules because they were new maids entering the palace."

Now Jinyu and Hongsheng are one year old. With Hongzhao as an older brother, they are naturally not quiet children.

"The wet nurses took the children out to have fun, while An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang sat in the pavilion, feeling quite comfortable. Not long after they sat there, Lian'er slowly walked into the pavilion, followed by a middle-aged nanny."

She looked older than Qiufang and knelt down as soon as she entered the pavilion. I pay my respects to the Empress Shufei and the Empress Xianfei.
