An Lingrong after rebirth

Chapter 246 Sudden High Fever

An Lingrong smiled and lowered her head, and said: "I thought that Concubine Qin couldn't be moved easily, so I gave some advice to Doctor Guo in private."

"Perhaps for the sake of the Emperor's succession and Concubine Qin's health, it would be prudent to let Concubine Qin stay in the garden to take care of the pregnancy for the time being."

"When An Lingrong said this, her face was full of smiles. But the Queen Mother had experienced countless harem intrigues, and she immediately understood what An Lingrong meant."

This is him seeking credit for himself!

"Yu Yisi followed with a smile. I know that Concubine Shu has always acted properly, so she must be right. This is a good idea. It can both protect the heir and not delay the return of the harem to the capital."

"It is the Queen Mother who has taught me well. Otherwise, I would not be as smart as I am today!" An Lingrong smiled and touched Hong Zhao's head before replying.

"You are very polite," the Queen Mother laughed a few times and continued, "You know your own strengths and are not like others who try to hide them. This is the best way."

Yes, I thank the Queen Mother for your teachings.

"The two of them exchanged a few more words, and Zhuxi brought up a plate. Sixth Prince likes the silver silk curls from the Queen Mother the most. I have people prepare them every day, and today, Prince must use more."

Hong Zhao looked at the silver silk rolls in front of him, touched his stomach with a worried look on his face, and walked up to the Queen Mother and said, "Grandma, I just had a lot of peony rolls at the Queen Mother's place. I'm not hungry now, but I really can't eat anymore..."

"She turned around and looked at the silver thread rolls again. Without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, she said, "My grandson really likes the silver thread rolls. Can the Royal Mama let my grandson take them back to Ru Gu Han Jin and eat them with my brothers and sisters?"

How could the Queen Mother not respond?

"She nodded with a smile. Of course it's good. Our Zhao'er is a good child who loves his brothers and sisters. In a while, the Royal Mama will ask Aunt Zhuxi to pack it for Zhao'er, and he will use it with his brothers and sisters later."

Thank you, Madam Huang!

"While the grandfather and grandson were talking happily, someone came to the outside of the palace. An Lingrong turned around and saw that it was Zhuying."

"But the other party seemed to be in a dilemma, and his steps were hesitant. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should go forward or not."

The Queen Mother frowned when she saw the other party like this and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Zhu Ying then stepped forward and knelt down to greet you. Empress Dowager, the Fourth Prince is here. He said he heard that the Emperor was going back to the capital, and he wanted to kowtow to you and say goodbye."

"An Lingrong was stunned after hearing this. She didn't know much about the Fourth Prince."

"My understanding of each other in the previous life was limited to the fact that after Zhen Huan returned from Ganlu Temple, the emperor went crazy and made the Fourth Prince Zhen Huan's son in order to give her the title of concubine."

"He looks smart, but without knowing him, An Lingrong knows clearly that the emperor still doesn't like the Fourth Prince very much at this time."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't have kept him in the garden and refused to take him back to the palace. But from what Zhuying said, it seems that the Fourth Prince has decided to come and kowtow to the Queen Mother."

"An Lingrong doesn't know how old he is, but thinking about how he is still in the garden, he should not even have his hair tied up yet. At such a young age, he already has such thoughts. Seeing the Fourth Prince now, he must not be a simple person."

"Turning her head slightly to take a look at the Queen Mother's expression, she didn't find anything unusual, so An Lingrong asked tentatively, 'Queen Mother, Hong Zhao and I have disturbed you for a long time today. Since the Fourth Prince is here, why don't I wait for Hong Zhao to go back first?'"

As soon as An Lingrong finished speaking, Hong Zhao spoke before the Queen Mother could say anything.

"Fourth Prince? My grandma is the Sixth Prince, so is the Fourth Prince my elder brother? But I have never seen this elder brother."

"The Queen Mother smiled. It was indeed Zhao'er's brother, but he was not in good health, so your father let him recuperate in the garden, so Zhao'er had never seen him."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at An Lingrong. "He's just a child. You are his stepmother, so there is nothing you can't do about him meeting her." Zhuying invited the Fourth Prince in.

Yes!

"Zhu Ying responded and went down. I don't know what Hong Zhao was thinking. He went to the Queen Mother again and stretched out his hand to hold the Queen Mother and refused to let go."

"An Lingrong had no idea what her son was thinking, and it was not easy for her to ask. After a moment, Zhu Ying led the Fourth Prince in."

"Look at the other person's immaturity. It's not the same look that An Lingrong had seen in Zijing City before. Hongli was stunned when he saw An Lingrong and Hong Zhao beside the Queen Mother."

Obviously Zhuying did not tell him that An Lingrong and her son were also there, but the pause was only a few seconds, and then she quickly walked up to them.

As soon as he lifted the hem of his clothes, he knelt on both knees and said, "Grandson greets the Imperial Grandmother. May the Imperial Grandmother be blessed with good health. I heard that the Imperial Grandmother will be returning to the capital, so I came to say goodbye. I am sorry for disturbing you, and I hope you will forgive me."

"The Queen Mother is being led by Hong Zhao, and she looks quite kind. Well, I know how filial you are, so get up quickly."

Yes, thank you, Grandmother.

"Hongli bowed again, then stood up and turned his gaze to Hongzhao, showing him a smile. My grandson has lived in Yuanmingyuan for a long time, but I have heard that he has several younger brothers. I wonder if this one is the sixth or seventh brother?"

"Hong Zhao also looked at Hong Li with a smile, and without An Lingrong's instruction, he said, "Fourth brother, I am Hong Zhao, the sixth brother."

"Hongli seemed to be infected by Hongzhao's enthusiasm, and the smile on his face deepened. He nodded to Hongzhao, then looked at An Lingrong, and said, 'Your son pays respects to Madam Shu.'"

He was very polite and considerate, and there was no sign of fault in him, but it was precisely because of this that An Lingrong felt alert.

Fourth Prince, please stop being polite. You must be tired after walking all the way here. Please stop being polite.

"Thank you, Madam Shu, but today I am here to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. Although it is a long way to go, I am not tired."

"An Lingrong smiled and stopped talking. After all, she was still a half-grown child. Although she had some scheming, her words were too superficial. An Lingrong stopped talking and the palace suddenly became quiet."

The Queen Mother said again, "Hongli is filial, and I am naturally happy. But you live far away, so go back early. Zhuxi will prepare some snacks for the Fourth Prince and let him take them away."

"After hearing this, Hongli immediately knelt down again. I came to Louyue Kaiyunguan today just to pay my respects to the Royal Grandmother. How could I let the Royal Grandmother worry about preparing things for my grandson? I ask the Royal Grandmother to take back her order. I am unworthy of it."

"When he said this, it seemed like he was moved by the Queen Mother's arrangement, but in the end, he was not thoughtful enough and went too far, which made people feel it was fake."

"Seeing that the Queen Mother was silent, An Lingrong smiled and said: The Queen Mother thinks that the Fourth Prince is a man who knows etiquette and rites, unlike Hong Zhao, so it's fine for him to come to the Queen Mother's place and be careful."

You always take food and things with you, and even bring them back to Ru Gu Han Jin. It really makes me ashamed.

"I was just joking, so the Queen Mother wouldn't take it seriously. But at this moment, the Fourth Prince is kneeling on the ground, feeling like there are thorns on his back."

"He has obviously realized that what he said was too much. But the Queen Mother hasn't spoken yet, so he can't continue."

After all, he is her grandson, so the empress dowager could not be too harsh on him. After a moment, she laughed and said, "It is Concubine Shu who is the best at making fun of our Hongzhao."

"I am old now, and I only know how to watch the children eat more. Hongli, please get up and take these snacks back with you. There is no need to refuse them."

Hongli kowtowed to the Empress Dowager again and stopped refusing. He thanked the Empress Dowager for her concern.

"I was planning to leave. Not long after the Fourth Prince left, An Lingrong also took Hong Zhao back to Rugu Hanjin. But not long after I walked outside, I saw the Fourth Prince standing alone by a pond in front. I don't know what he was looking at."

"An Lingrong saw this and guessed that he must be waiting here on purpose. But since she had already seen it, there was no reason not to go forward and say a few words."

"Bending down and giving Hong Zhao some instructions, he led his son forward. Is it the Fourth Prince?"

"After hearing this, Hongli stood up straight, as if he had just noticed someone coming from behind. He turned around, and his expression changed from confusion to surprise, but he seemed to do it on purpose so that An Lingrong could see it clearly."

"Your son pays respects to Madam Shu," he said, and then looked at Hong Zhao, "Sixth brother! Hello, fourth brother, you just left. Why are you still here for so long?"

"Hong Zhao's unintentional question made Hong Li look a little embarrassed. But now the other party's move was well planned, and he recovered in a moment."

"He smiled and said, 'I just came out from the Imperial Grandmother's place and saw the beautiful fish in the pond. My fourth brother looked at them for a while longer, which made my sixth brother laugh at me.'"

How could I laugh at you? I also like to look at beautiful fish.

Hong Zhao looked at Hong Li with a smile, but even though he said that, he made no move towards the pond.

"Hongli smiled. Although I have lived in Yuanmingyuan for a long time, I have often heard servants mention that my sixth brother is smart. Today I see that he is indeed so. Madam Shu has taught him well."

"Fourth Prince, that's great. How could this kid be as good as Fourth Prince? He's just a little clever. This is not the first time I've seen Fourth Prince."

But I heard that the Fourth Prince studies hard, which shows that he is much better than Hong Zhao who loves to play.

Hongli looked at the two of them for a moment, and said with envy: Look at the deep love between Madam Shu and my sixth brother, I really envy them...

Fourth brother, look, that golden fish is so beautiful.

"Hongli was interrupted by Hongzhao before he finished speaking. Even though he was dissatisfied, he could only respond and turned his head, saying insincerely: It's really beautiful."

Fourth brother, my younger brothers and sisters are still waiting for me at home, so mother and I will go back first.

"As soon as Hongli finished speaking, Hongzhao spoke again. Hongli had no choice but to turn around and say: "Okay, then I won't waste Madam Shu's time."

Please do as you please, Fourth Prince. I will take my leave now!

After saying this, he took Hong Zhao's hand and left.

"It was not until they were far away from the Fourth Prince that Hong Zhao tilted his head and looked up at An Lingrong. Mother asked her son to say that because the Fourth Prince had some inappropriate thoughts?"

"Mother doesn't know either, but Zhao'er only needs to look at his behavior in front of the Queen Mother today to know that he is a child with his own ideas."

"So we'd better stay away from him." Hong Zhao seemed to understand what he said, and then continued: "Mother, these days my son and I have been practicing calligraphy at the Empress's place, and we have heard a few times that Fourth Brother wants to see you."

But the Empress Dowager never saw him. Why?

"An Lingrong had some guesses about this matter, but she couldn't tell Hong Zhao directly. So An Lingrong could only shake her head. Mother doesn't know either. Maybe your Royal Mother has her own ideas."

"Hong Zhao scratched his head as if he understood, then said oh, and stopped asking. Mother, let's go quickly, my brother is waiting for me."

.........

Soon it was the 20th day of August, and all the concubines gathered at dawn to pay their respects to the Queen.

Except for Guaerjia who was under house arrest and Qin Changzai whose pregnancy suddenly became unwell, no one was absent.

"After everyone exchanged greetings, Yixiu spoke up and said, 'I have discussed this with the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine Shu, and the date for the meeting in Beijing will be August 25th.'"

"Everything else has been sorted out, so you should hurry up and don't wait until the day comes and panic."

"The return to the capital will inevitably be handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. So this news has more or less spread in the garden."

"So when everyone heard this, they were not surprised. They all stood up and agreed without saying much else. Seeing that no one had anything to say, Yixiu was too lazy to say anything more."

"Just as she was about to wave goodbye and greet everyone, she looked up and heard a noisy sound of footsteps. Yixiu frowned after hearing it. How could the servants around her be so unruly?"

"But before Yixiu could say anything, a miserable cry suddenly came from outside, "Empress, my young lady has a sudden high fever. Please have mercy and ask an imperial physician to see her."

"Yi Xiu was stunned, and his eyes swept across the whole place in an instant. He immediately realized that the only ones who were not there today were Guaerjia and Qin Changzai."

"The person asking for help outside should be one of them. He turned his gaze to Jianqiu, who immediately understood and knelt down, then walked out of the hall."

"Jianqiu had just walked out of the door when her angry shouts were heard outside. The Empress and all the ladies are inside. Which palace are you from? How dare you make a noise here?"

"I don't know what the other party said, but everyone's eyes were focused on the door. Soon, Jianqiu led a little palace maid who was still trembling slightly into the door."

When Jianqiu walked to Yixiu's side, the little palace maid had naturally knelt down.

"My queen, she is the one who was promised by Guaerjia to Jingtai. She said that when she woke up this morning, the young lady suddenly had a high fever. The servants around the young lady have tried countless ways, but they can't make the young lady better. Now she has started talking nonsense."

"Jianqiu said this, then turned her eyes to Jingtai and said, "This girl has no other choice, so she ran to Shangxia Tianguang to ask the queen to promise the young lady to arrange a royal doctor."

"There was no sympathy in Jianqiu's voice, only indifference and calmness. Such an oddity did not arouse sympathy for the Guarjia clan."

"An Lingrong sat in the first seat on the left, with her hands folded. Her eyes wandered around and finally landed on Jingtai. She felt a little curious."

"Why didn't I realize before that this maidservant beside Guaerjia had such courage? While I was thinking, Yixiu had already spoken."

Guaerjia was the one who harmed Concubine Zhen. Although the Queen Mother ordered her to be confined to her house, she did not have any other decrees. She was not feeling well now, so she naturally could not sit idly by.

"Jiang Fuhai, go to the Imperial Hospital and ask the imperial physician to take a look at Guaerjia."
