An Lingrong's Rebirth: I will not offend others unless they offend me

The imperial physician was invited to Yonghe Palace yesterday without avoiding the public. Concubine Hua felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the empty chair opposite her.

She thought about sending someone to find out what happened to Concubine Shu after paying her respects.

Looking at the queen who came late, she rolled her eyes silently.

The old woman was fond of putting on airs and showing off her majesty as queen whenever she got the chance.

"Sister Queen, you came a little late today. Are you feeling unwell?"

Hua Fei seemed to be asking with concern, but in fact she was mocking her for being old and unpunctual.

The Queen looked at Concubine Hua and others with a smile.

"I just received someone sent by the Emperor, so I'm a little late. I hope you sisters will forgive me."

Everyone claimed that they didn't dare.

Hua Fei curled her lips and reluctantly followed suit, muttering something.

The queen, with her palms burning, looked at the respectful people below and put on an impeccable smile again.

"The Emperor sent someone to say that Concubine Shu is pregnant. However, the pregnancy is a little unstable and requires rest, so she can be excused from paying respects to him for the next few days."

She took in the different expressions of the people below and continued to encourage them.

"Sister Shufei is so lucky! The Sixth Prince is pregnant with a dragon baby before he's even one year old."

"Sisters should also follow the example of Concubine Shu and have children for the royal family as soon as possible."

Jingpin glanced bitterly at the fresh and young Shen Meizhuang, Fang Jiachunyi, Huanbi and others, feeling sad in her heart.

She only served the emperor in bed a few times a year, and as she grew older, she would lose the emperor's favor even more.

In this harem, one only hears the laughter of new people, but never the crying of old ones.

No, she must raise a child.

Jingpin thought for a while and then set her sights on Huanbi.

When the high-ranking queen in the palace became pregnant, everyone openly congratulated her.

Today, as Concubine Shu was pregnant, the Queen rarely exchanged greetings with Noble Lady Ke and Noble Lady Wan, and she quickly ended the greetings.

Jianqiu pried open the Queen's tightly clenched hands with heartache and whispered comfort to her.

"My lady, why are you being so hard on your own body?"

"It makes the servant uncomfortable."

"Jianqiu, An Lingrong is pregnant again!"

The queen's eyes turned red with jealousy.

Shufei was given the title of concubine after giving birth to the Sixth Prince. If she successfully gave birth to an imperial heir, would the Emperor promote her again?

"Your Majesty, you are the Empress. Besides, you have the Empress Dowager to help you."

"Empress Dowager? Haha! Jianqiu, I'm telling you the truth. The most unreliable person in this palace is the Empress Dowager."

She, Yixiu, had never been someone the Empress Dowager valued, but if she was too gentle, the inferior would be gone, and the Empress Dowager had no choice.

The queen gently stroked her belly and called silently.

"Mother's Honghui, please come soon."

Jianqiu discovered that the queen had touched her abdomen many times since she had slept with the queen, and she was worried for a while.

"Your Majesty, should we summon the imperial physician to check your pulse?"

The master looked more and more abnormal, and she was so worried that her hair turned white.

The Queen obviously had different ideas from hers. "The Concubine Shu is pregnant. If I summon the Imperial Physician, people will inevitably gossip about me."

When Zhen Huan learned that Concubine Shu was pregnant, she took a sedan chair directly to Shoukang Palace and spoke to Sun Zhuxi gently.

"I have learned something from the Buddhist scriptures, and I have the audacity to come here today to copy them. I'd like to ask you to inform me, Auntie."

There are countless intrigues and deceptions in the deep palace. If she wants to protect the fetus in her belly, she must stay close to the empress dowager who is kind to her.

"Mrs. Wan is very thoughtful. The Empress Dowager has already instructed that if you come to copy the scriptures, you should first have breakfast in the side hall."

"Pregnant women cannot stand being hungry, so snacks are always available in the side hall."

After Zhen Huan thanked the Empress Dowager in the Buddhist temple, she walked into the side hall with a smile.

What she didn't know was that behind the screen in the east wing hall stood an elderly nanny, watching her every move.

As soon as Zhen Huan left, the nanny met with the Queen Mother.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I will keep a close eye on Concubine Wan."

"I am very confident in your work."

"Zhuxi, take her to dinner."

This nanny was from the Uya family. The Empress Dowager selected her when someone entered Shoukang Palace.

She will leave the palace and go to the Wuya family to recuperate soon.

The Empress Dowager was turning her Buddhist beads. Concubine Shu was pregnant again, and the aunts of both families had to enter the palace.

She thought about it again and again and decided to go to the Yangxin Palace.

"Your son pays respects to the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager has anything to say, just ask her. How could I trouble you to come to the Yangxin Palace in person?"

"Your Majesty, I came here this time because of the matter of the royal heir."

The Queen Mother spoke straight to the point.

"The previous dynasty has been decided. Your Majesty, please focus your energy on the harem."

"Although Concubine Shu, Concubine Ke, and Concubine Wan are all pregnant, you also know that having no children will lead to instability in the country."

She has been feeling weaker recently and needs to prepare early.

"Your son will follow the Empress Dowager's instructions and will definitely make time to visit the harem."

"Your Majesty, you have always been sensible. I still need to pay my respects to the Buddha, so I will go back first."

The emperor, who had wanted to invite the empress dowager to have lunch together, had to see her off respectfully.

He once mustered up the courage to ask Tong's mother why De's mother never saw the good in him.

At that time, Tong's mother touched his head and sighed deeply.

"Fourth Prince, children who are too sensible are always easily ignored."

I didn't expect that after so many years, the Empress Dowager would say such a thing.

The emperor sat silently at the desk, and Su Peisheng tactfully did not go forward to disturb him.

At the end of the Shen period, news came from the Yangxin Palace that the emperor would have dinner in the Cunju Hall tonight.

Baoque, who had left the palace, also brought news at this time.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Physician says Lord An is unconscious from drowning, and it's uncertain when he will regain consciousness."

"For now, I can only rely on the ginseng given by the emperor and you to keep me alive."

"Okay, I understand. Father has experienced such a big incident. How is the family doing now?"

Baoque knew what his master wanted to hear, so he leaned in and whispered.

"Madam, the old lady is so worried about the master that she can't even eat."

"The young master is very young, and Madam doesn't trust others to take care of him, so she does everything herself."

It’s good to have a younger brother to divert mother’s attention.

Fortunately, she thought it through before entering the palace and gave her mother fertility pills.

"Madam is not strong enough, so she has entrusted the mundane things in the house to Aunt Xiao."

"With the help of the servants, there won't be any trouble."

An Lingrong placed a nanny who had been out of the palace for more than half a year among that group of people.

I believe that with Madam around, the An family will be safe.

"Bao Que, write a letter to Nanny Chen and ask her to secretly select a few good guards to look after the house."

In the letter, Aunt Xiao said that there was something strange about the master falling into the water, and she came to ask for help.

She had to guard against it.

Although the emperor said he would investigate thoroughly, she still wanted to reassure her family.

In the following month, the emperor came to the harem fifteen times.

He stayed in Jingren Palace on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month and had dinner with An Lingrong twice. The rest of the time he went to Yiku Palace, Cunju Hall, Suiyuxuan and Zhongcui Palace.

During this period, Concubine Hua sent someone to deliver a small note.
