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

There were only two words written on it: "something happened".

A few days later, Bao Ge, who went to the kitchen to get food, accidentally met Song Zhi.

He brought back the inexplicable words "the spices are missing the main ingredient".

An Lingrong immediately understood what Concubine Hua meant. The emperor had removed the musk from the Huanyi incense.

Concubine Hua is still brooding over Huan Yixiang, and her emotions must be complicated.

Although she had never experienced other people's suffering and did not know their pain, An Lingrong, who did not know how to comfort Concubine Hua, always had to express her feelings.

She asked Bao Ge to secretly send a basket of eggs to Yiku Palace.

"Songzhi, what do you mean by Concubine Shu sending a basket of eggs?"

"Could it be that you heard that my fairy duck wants to hatch eggs recently, so you sent me a special loan duck to hatch chicks?"

Songzhi was shocked by the Queen's guess and expressed her own opinion.

"Your Majesty, I suspect that the Concubine Shu is advising you to relax and take good care of yourself so that you can support the Nian family's nephews and nieces."

"Forget it. I know An Lingrong means well, that's all. Just stuff these eggs into the fairy duck's nest."

After giving the instructions, he felt that he could not refuse other people's kindness, so he left six eggs and sent them to the small kitchen.

An Lingrong just laughed it off when she found out.

As expected of Concubine Hua, she always behaves in a different way.

The news that the emperor had changed the medicinal ingredients of the Huanyi incense in the Yiku Palace soon reached the ears of the empress dowager, and she ordered Zhuxi to go to the Yangxin Palace to invite someone.

"Is the Emperor soft-hearted?"

"Madam, I've been to Yikun Palace several times and noticed that Concubine Hua has a headache and can't eat. The imperial physician said it's because she's smelled that thing too much."

After all, Shilan has been with him for many years, so there must be some affection between them.

"Hua Fei is just a bit arrogant. I don't want her life."

Nian Gengyao, the great threat to them, was gone, and Hua Fei, a little woman, could not cause any big trouble.

The empress dowager thought so and followed the emperor's wishes, but she did not forget to remind him to put the country first.

Gyeongin Palace

"Jianqiu, quickly summon Doctor Yang to check my pulse."

The queen was a few days late in changing her clothes, and she instinctively thought she might be pregnant.

Zhang Mi retired due to illness and returned to his hometown. Before leaving, he recommended the skilled imperial physician Yang to the queen.

Doctor Yang expressed his loyalty when they first met.

After the queen sent people to investigate his interpersonal relationships, she secretly kept an eye on his family.

"Your humble servant congratulates the Queen, you are pregnant with a dragon baby, approximately one month old."

"Jianqiu, watch and appreciate."

The queen, in a good mood, gestured to the stunned Jianqiu.

"Doctor Yang, I want to tell the Emperor about this in person. Do you understand?"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will keep my mouth shut."

After Doctor Yang left, the Queen looked at Jianqiu with concern.

"Are you too tired? Do you need a few days of rest?"

The emperor's frequent visits to the harem really kept the master and servant very busy.

Jianqiu knelt on the ground and suppressed the panic in her heart.

"Your Majesty, I am happy for you."

"It's really God's mercy that you are pregnant again."

"Yes, God is reluctant to separate me from Honghui and his mother."

The queen was certain that Honghui, who felt sorry for her mother, had returned to her.

She didn't know that this sentence scared Jianqiu so much that she shuddered and thought of the bloody ball in the delivery room again.

"Jianqiu, what's going on at Yonghe Palace?"

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent and can only tamper with the ingredients for now."

The people who serve Concubine Shu are all her confidants, and their people cannot get close to her at all.

"It seems we must find a way to get An Lingrong out."

The same goes for Zhen Huan, who was hiding in Shoukang Palace copying scriptures.

"Jianqiu, if I remember correctly, Concubine Qi's house arrest is about to end, right?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi will be able to leave within half a month."

The Queen called Jianqiu to her side and said, "I heard that the Emperor was very harsh on the Third Prince. Please go and visit him on my behalf."

"Forget it, I will go to the prince's residence myself."

The tall and strong Third Prince knelt down and begged as soon as he saw the Queen.

"Empress, Hongshi hasn't seen my mother for a while. Could you please help and ask the Emperor to release her as soon as possible?"

After his mother put him under house arrest, Hongshi lived a hard life.

It’s not that he lacks food and clothing, but the main reason is that the emperor believes that Concubine Qi is not capable of raising a child, so he selected the most strict teacher to keep an eye on him.

Those old-fashioned people are so stubborn that he has to endure a miserable life these days.

"Third Prince, don't worry. I'll go to the Yangxin Palace later."

The queen struggled to help the man up and comforted him for a long time before getting away.

"Jianqiu, order the Imperial Household Department to make a new suit of clothes for the Third Prince as soon as possible."

"Also, be sure to report this to Concubine Qi. If she truly cares about the Third Prince, she will know what to do."

As soon as the old duck soup was ready, the queen took the food box and went to the Yangxin Palace.

As soon as the familiar taste entered his mouth, the emperor smiled and praised.

"The Queen's soup is still the best."

"As long as the emperor likes it."

She watched the emperor with a smile as he added a second bowl, thinking that the duck soup from Jingren Palace would be sent to Yangxin Palace frequently in the future.

"Is the Queen here today for something?"

The emperor asked curiously after putting down his bowl and chopsticks.

"Your Majesty, an epidemic broke out in early spring. Although we are safe now, it has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the hearts of the sisters. I would like to hold a palace banquet to invite the sisters to bid farewell to spring and welcome summer. What do you think?"

She just didn't believe that she couldn't pull Concubine Shu out of Yonghe Palace in this way.

The emperor nodded, thinking that there had been no grand banquet in the palace since New Year's Eve.

"Then I'll have to trouble the Empress with this palace banquet. Remember to send someone to Shoukang Palace to ask if the Empress Dowager is interested in attending the palace banquet?"

"I obey my orders."

"Your Majesty, I went to the prince's residence to see the Third Prince. His deep affection for Concubine Qi truly moved me."

"I, Your Majesty, would you please allow Concubine Qi to leave Changchun Palace early?"

Every time the Third Prince saw the Emperor, he would burst into tears and beg him to release Concubine Qi as soon as possible.

The emperor's face turned dark when he thought of that bastard son.

"It's up to the Queen to decide."

"Please tell Concubine Qi that before you do something stupid next time, please think more about Hongshi."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will definitely pass on your message."

The queen, in a good mood, left the Yangxin Palace and ordered Jianqiu to go to Changchun Palace to deliver a message.

An Lingrong learned about the palace banquet before dinner, and also heard that Concubine Qi had left Changchun Palace early.

"Bao Que, order our people to keep an eye on Concubine Qi."

This palace banquet is most likely the Hongmen Banquet.

When Shen Meizhuang of Cunju Hall heard that a palace banquet was going to be held, she looked at her abdomen tenderly.

She had been in the palace for more than a year and finally lived up to her family's expectations.
