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

"Rong'er, Hongzhan is really annoying. He insists that I play with him."

Although the emperor expressed his disgust, his hands did not stop moving.

Feeding the hungry fat baby with minced meat porridge spoonful by spoonful.

Sometimes when the food was fed slowly, the anxious Sixth Prince would not only yell “Ahhh” to remind him, but would also use his chubby little hands to move the bowl.

"Your Majesty, I'm thankful you're here, otherwise I'd be interrupted by Hongzhan and unable to eat again."

An Lingrong, who had her mouth free, smiled and flattered the dragon.

The emperor was particularly patient this time. He brought his own rare toys and played with Hongzhan in the east wing hall for more than half an hour.

"Hongzhan, you've been disliked by your mother. Do you want to go back to the Yangxin Palace with your father and spend a few days there?"

The emperor smiled and poked his fat son's arm, which looked like a lotus root node.

An Lingrong was so frightened that the food she picked up fell onto the table.

The third prince Hongshi was spoiled and that was why he was disliked by the emperor.

If the emperor really brings Hongzhan to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, then the fat baby who can't even speak will become a thorn in everyone's eyes and a thorn in their flesh.

"Your Majesty, Hongzhan, once he's moved to another place, becomes a night-crying man. You experienced that last time."

"You have to get up early to attend court, and I'm afraid Hongzhan will disturb you."

"If Hongzhan causes the government to fail, I will bear the blame even if I die a thousand times."

She tried to persuade him earnestly, not even avoiding the word "death".

"Rong'er, I was just joking. You don't have to be so cautious."

After the emperor finished speaking, he realized that he had spoken out of turn. Fortunately, Concubine Shu knew her limits and did not try to climb up the ladder.

"Your Majesty, how can you tease someone like this in front of Hongzhan?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor burst into laughter again.

Su Peisheng, who was having a meal in the small room, couldn't help but smile.

In the whole palace, only Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince could make the master amuse himself like this.

It seems that he will have to respect Yonghe Palace even more in the future.

From that day on, the emperor would come to Yonghe Palace every few days to have meals with her.

A large box was added to the Sixth Prince's east side hall.

In the harem, the Empress, Concubine Ke and Concubine Hui were pregnant, while Concubine Wan, Concubine Chun and Concubine He had miscarriages.

The Empress Dowager had no objection to the Emperor going to Yonghe Palace to relax.

The Queen even hoped that the Emperor would go to Yonghe Palace every day to expend his energy, so as to prevent the unfavored old ladies in the harem from getting pregnant again.

What surprised An Lingrong the most was that the Empress Dowager and the Queen seemed to have reached an agreement, and neither of them mentioned helping the Emperor fill his harem.

A month passed quietly like this.

Shen Meizhuang, who had recovered from her pregnancy, moved into Chuxiu Palace, and the three concubines who had miscarried also returned from confinement.

When the queen saw that everyone had recovered, she couldn't wait to notify them to start paying their respects every day.

"Sister Shufei, I heard from the Emperor that the Sixth Prince is extremely intelligent. When will you bring him out to meet the other sisters?"

The emperor came to Jingren Palace twice and never forgot to talk about that little brat.

She wanted to survey the enemy situation in advance.

"Thank you very much, Empress, for your kindness. However, Hongzhan has been very naughty lately and refuses to change despite repeated admonitions. I am afraid he might hurt you all. How about waiting until he's older and bringing him out for you sisters to see?"

As An Lingrong spoke, she also showed the red marks on her fair wrist.

The red and swollen scars were obviously caused by being scratched by a heavy object, and the only person in the entire Yonghe Palace who dared to attack Concubine Shu was the ignorant Sixth Prince.

"Has Sister Concubine Shu called for the imperial physician?"

The queen asked with concern, but never mentioned anything about meeting Hongzhan.

"I have some excellent ointment here. Take a bottle with you when you go back."

"Thank you very much, Queen, for your concern."

After the Queen's attention shifted to Shen Meiyu, An Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, her skin is smooth and tender, so any touch will leave marks.

After entering the hall and being greeted by everyone's enthusiastic gazes, she secretly gave herself a slap, but she didn't expect it would really come in handy.

"Sister Huipin, are you feeling any discomfort after moving to Chuxiu Palace? If so, I will order the Imperial Household Department to repair it."

Shen Meizhuang stood up and saluted, then answered calmly.

"I am very satisfied with the layout of Chuxiu Palace. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

She was naturally satisfied with moving from Cunju Hall to the more spacious main hall of Chuxiu Palace and being able to live alone in the palace.

The condescending queen saw Zhen Huan's face change, and she pulled Shen Meiyu aside to talk for a while, and told her to take good care of the pregnancy and go directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs if she needed anything.

After the pregnant Concubine Ke finished her greetings, she asked Concubine Cao about Princess Wen Yi's recent situation.

"Lady Cao, the Queen Mother has gifted me some soft fabrics. I'll have Jianqiu deliver them to you later."

"I would like to thank the Queen on behalf of Wen Yi."

Concubine Cao thanked her softly.

Cao Qinmo, aware of the Queen's intention, was happy to cooperate and took the opportunity to tell some interesting stories about Princess Wen Yi's interactions with the Emperor.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan's face turned pale and her lips trembled unconsciously.

The queen was very pleased with Cao Qinmo's understanding and rewarded Princess Wen Yi with a pair of silver bells.

She turned her gaze and asked kindly.

"How is Sister Wanpin recovering?"

"Thank you, Queen, for your concern. I am now fine."

Zhen Huan replied softly.

"It's good that you've recovered. Then I'll order the Imperial Household Department to add your green card. I hope my sister will give birth to children for the emperor soon."

"I heard that you and Concubine Hui are like sisters. You can learn more from her."

"Thank you, Queen, for reminding me. I was planning to visit Sister Mei today."

Hearing this, Shen Meizhuang looked over with a smile.

The Concubine Chun behind her said that she was weak and had not recovered yet, so she would not add the green card for the time being.

As for Huanbi, she thanked the queen readily with her encouragement.

She was completely oblivious to her elder sister's increasingly depressed mood.

An Lingrong and Concubine Hua admired the Queen's various ways to make things difficult for Zhen Huan. They would occasionally exchange glances and make comments.

With the Queen's order, Zhen Huan followed Shen Meiyu back to Chuxiu Palace.

"Huan'er, I should have visited you earlier, but the imperial physician said it's not advisable to move you for the time being."

"Sister Mei, nothing is more important than the dragon fetus. Don't worry, I will come to visit you more often in the future."

In fact, she felt that Shen Meizhuang was just trying to please her. Since they had already moved from Cunju Hall to Chuxiu Palace, why couldn't they move there?

But there was still a smile on his face.

"Sister Mei, this is my first time at Chuxiu Palace. Please be a good host and show me around."

"Okay. Not only will I take you around, I'll also make you some lotus root starch and osmanthus sugar cake."

Seeing that Huan'er had no barriers with her, Shen Meizhuang happily took people for a walk in the yard.

"Chuxiu Palace was previously vacant, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent people to renovate it. The flowers and trees in the courtyard all came from the Flower and Herb House, but unfortunately, those trees have long passed their blooming period."

Zhen Huan looked at the newly transplanted trees in the yard, her eyes flashed, and she smiled and complimented.

"Sister Mei, when the flowers bloom next year, I will shamelessly come over to enjoy them."

"Huan'er, there's no need for us to be so distant with each other. The gate of Chuxiu Palace is always open to you."

After Shen Meizhuang finished speaking, she pulled her to see the chrysanthemums blooming in the main hall.

"The Emperor knows that my sister has always loved chrysanthemums, so he specially ordered the Imperial Household Department to send them."
