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

"Yixiu, what are you doing..."

The Queen Mother looked at the Queen who was retching on the table in surprise and doubt.

"I congratulate the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Is the Empress also pregnant?"

Concubine Hua didn't care whether the old woman was pregnant or not, she just wanted to make sure she was pregnant first.

Generally, concubines in the palace would start to reduce the number of times they sleep with the emperor after they turn 30, but this shameless old woman insisted on seducing the emperor.

The dragon fetus in the queen's belly has been more than a month old, and she knows that she cannot escape the queen mother's sharp eyes.

So he nodded slightly under the gaze of the emperor and the empress dowager.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, I was afraid of disturbing the fetal spirit, so I wanted to sit still before reporting this."

"The Queen is indeed very thoughtful."

The emperor smiled and handed the queen a cup of tea.

The queen is three years younger than him, so it is understandable that she is cautious about this pregnancy.

The Queen Mother said "OK, OK, OK" three times in a row.

An Lingrong saw that Concubine Qi across from her shook her body when she heard the news, and then put on a somewhat forced smile.

He was the first to stand up and congratulate the Emperor, the Queen Mother and the Empress.

Others followed suit.

For a moment, the imperial garden was filled with charming congratulations.

Everyone had a smile on their face, but no one knew what they were thinking.

Concubine Hua looked at the Queen with neither joy nor sadness, then lowered her head under the Emperor's gaze.

She glanced at An Lingrong's belly inconspicuously, and thought, "Concubine Shu must live up to her expectations."

I must give birth to a son to make the old woman so angry that she will die.

An Lingrong did not receive Hua Fei's thoughts, but instead carefully studied the sweet porridge that had just been served.

In the sticky sweet porridge, you can vaguely see ingredients such as green glutinous rice, millet, yellow rice, preserved fruits, lotus seeds and red dates, and the sweet aroma is overwhelming.

She guessed that there must be rock sugar or honey in the porridge.

In the past, the Queen Mother would sit for a while and then leave when attending palace banquets, but this time, in order to wait for good news, she had no intention of leaving at all.

With her around, no one dared to reach for their chopsticks on the table.

As the sky gradually darkened, palace servants began to come and go at the banquet, bringing in a few more dishes.

The candied date cakes and honey cakes are drizzled with a layer of light yellow nectar, which looks very tempting.

The kitchen was really generous this time, even the white porcelain plates were dripping with honey.

The food on the table could be looked at but not eaten, so An Lingrong looked away with difficulty.

The lanterns hanging on the branches were lit up at some point and were scattered around the guests in an orderly manner, creating a unique hazy beauty.

The styles of the lanterns are all different, and the person who arranged the venue obviously put a lot of thought into them.

Hanging on the right side of An Lingrong is a hexagonal palace lantern with mahogany paintings of flowers and birds. The flowers and birds on it are lifelike and you can tell at a glance that it is the work of a master.

The only disappointment was that there were ants crawling on it.

There were also ants on the wooden square lantern on her left, and even bees flying around.

An Lingrong looked at the hardworking bees flapping their wings, and something in her heart moved. She tilted her head and whispered an order.

"Bao Ge, there's a bug on the palace lantern. Go check it out and don't alarm the noble lady."

As she spoke, she pointed to the palace lantern not far behind her.

Xiao Linzi, who was guarding behind, saw Bao Ge making some moves and filled her position without leaving any trace.

There were many people at the palace banquet and the lighting was poor, so no one noticed the movement here.

According to the information they received, there would be snakes at the palace banquet, so Bao Ge did not dare to be careless about the palace lanterns that the master paid special attention to.

She avoided the flying bees and took a closer look. She saw swarms of ants climbing up the lantern along the branches.

There is definitely something wrong with this palace lantern.

I reached out and touched the palace lantern, and sure enough, my fingers felt sticky.

When you put it on the tip of your nose, you can smell a fresh and elegant sweetness.

After Bao Ge got the result, she came close to An Lingrong and reported in a low voice.

An Lingrong calmly compared her desk with the ones on either side of hers, and discovered that the buns and honey cakes on her desk were sprinkled with an unusually large amount of honey.

How could she afford such special care?

"Bao Que, the wind is going to pick up soon. Where is the cloak you brought?"

"My Lord, I have been holding it in my hand."

She nodded, and only felt relieved when she saw Songzhi, who was not far from Baoque, also holding a cloak in her hand.

The Imperial Hospital is some distance away from the Imperial Garden, and the Emperor spoke considerately.

"Empress Dowager, how about enjoying the singing and dancing while we dine?"

"Okay, Your Majesty will make the arrangements."

The Queen Mother's attention was still on the Queen's belly. She was not sure what was inside.

Yixiu even hid the fact that she was pregnant, and it seemed that she didn't care about her aunt at all.

What a sin! Let's wait until she gives birth before making any plans.

The Queen Mother casually picked up the teacup and took a sip of the sweet nectar. She felt it was quite good.

"Zhuxi, replace the Queen's tea with nectar."

Zhuxi also poured a cup for the emperor.

The emperor took a sip and found it too sweet.

"Queen, who prepared this nectar?"

"Your Majesty, I've been a little tired these past few days. Most of the palace banquets were organized by Concubine Qi."

The emperor said "Oh" indifferently.

Concubine Qi, who was standing nearby, didn't hear the emperor's praise and seemed a little disappointed.

She pulled the cloak draped over the chair closer to her shoulders, as if afraid that the cool breeze would hurt her body.

An Lingrong noticed Concubine Qi's actions and did the same, putting the cloak on herself.

Seeing the empress dowager move the teacup and pick up a piece of cake with chopsticks, she stretched out her chopsticks to the steamed buns and honey cakes without hesitation, and did not forget to ask Xiao Linzi to get a pot of tea and replace the honey water on the table.

Seeing that An Lingrong was enjoying the meal, Concubine Hua also started to eat the two snacks.

After a while, she felt tired of the tea and asked someone to change it.

Looking at the entire palace banquet, they were the only two who were actually eating.

The moment the light dimmed, the sharp-eyed An Lingrong saw a dark shadow swaying in the grass.

"There are snakes!"

"Help!"

“Don’t bite me!”

......

An Lingrong took advantage of the chaos and swept away several plates of honey on the table, and also lifted Hua Fei's tablecloth.

She was not idle either. Concubine Cao, with her eyes shining brightly, was so flustered that she didn't have time to retract her legs and didn't know whose foot she hit.

There were other collisions and cries of pain in the darkness.

This chaos only lasted for a few dozen breaths.

Soon, a majestic voice came from above.

"Everyone, stay where you are and don't move!"

"Hurry up and light the lamp!"

The moment the light appeared, An Lingrong glanced at the extinguished lantern beside her and saw it was covered with dense swarms of bees.

There were also several of them on the plate on Shen Meizhuang's table next to her.

The gradually brightening lanterns disturbed the bees that were enjoying their feast, and they were startled and attacked the nearest living creatures.

The garden, which had just quieted down, was filled with wailing again.

An Lingrong, who had wrapped herself up with only her eyes left, saw Huanbi running towards Zhen Huan with a tablecloth.

When he ran near Concubine Cao, he suddenly fell to the ground.

Before she could see if she had fallen hard, a buzzing sound approached.
