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

Su Peisheng's heart trembled as he listened to the Emperor's series of rewards.

The things in the front are okay, but the six cantaloupes in the back are extremely rare treasures.

A total of 300 Hami melons were sent as tribute this time, with ten each sent to Shoukang Palace, Jingren Palace, and Yiku Palace. The important officials of the previous dynasty were given some more as rewards, so there were indeed not many left.

He turned around and gave his apprentice Xiao Xiazi some advice.

"The blessing of the one in Yonghe Palace is still to come, so please serve him carefully in the future."

Xiao Xiazi returned the greeting with a smile.

"Thank you, Master, for reminding me."

Taking advantage of the emperor's early morning court, Su Peisheng arranged things in an orderly manner.

Xiao Xiazi also followed the master's instructions and came to Baoque's side.

"Miss Baoque, the emperor has ordered that Concubine Yu should get some more sleep. She doesn't need to pay respects today."

Bao Que returned the greeting, "Thank you for your reminder, eunuch, but your Excellency has taught me that palace rules cannot be abolished."

Concubine Shen, who had gone to pay her respects at the usual time, still encountered difficulties from the other palace ladies. If their master did not pay his respects on the first day of his bed, he would probably become a target of public criticism.

The master has repeatedly told me that the person must be lifted off the bed.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Baoque apologized and walked into the west warm room.

"Master, it's time to get up!"

An Lingrong, who was aching all over, stretched out her arms with difficulty, her voice hoarse.

"Bao Que, help me up."

Baoque opened the curtain as instructed and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Master, you..."

An Lingrong looked at the red marks on her neck, sighed, and applied layer after layer of powder.

Why is this emperor such a dog? He keeps biting her neck.

Once she had served him in the emperor's bed, she was given the title of Jade Noble Lady and received countless rewards, which had already attracted the attention of the harem. An Lingrong looked at the red marks that she could not hide and gave up.

When Xiao Xia Zi saw Baoque and Baoli helping Concubine Yu out, she hurried forward to pay her respects.

An Lingrong gave the other party enough face, and Baoque stuffed a big purse into her hand at the right time.

As she walked on the road, An Lingrong always felt that Xiao Xiazi looked very familiar. It was not that she had seen her in her previous life, but that she was someone around her.

She put the matter aside for the time being and decided to bring the pigeon with her next time she went to bed.

The West Warm Pavilion had called for water three times last night, and the lights in the palaces were lit earlier than usual. Not to mention the Emperor's promotion of An Lingrong and the endless stream of rewards he bestowed upon her.

Gyeongin Palace

"Your Majesty, all the palaces are waiting outside."

Jianqiu carefully inserted the golden gourd earrings through her ear holes.

"No hurry, Concubine Yu hasn't arrived yet."

The queen calmly put on the golden armor.

She was guessing the emperor's intention to promote Shen Meizhuang in order to compete with Concubine Hua.

What about An Lingrong?

No, the emperor only has that bitch Rouze in his heart.

The Jingshifang reported earlier that the emperor initially wanted to smash the sign of Yuxuan.

A nobleman of the Han army banner with a humble family background was not worthy of her treating him as a great enemy.

With Concubine Hua, who has her whole heart tied to the Emperor, leading the charge, she can just sit back and relax.

Jiang Fuhai bowed and reported.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yu has appeared on the long street."

"Okay. Jianqiu, let's go out."

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, supported the graceful and elegant queen as she appeared in front of everyone.

Today, the pale-faced Concubine Hua rarely stopped herself from confronting the Empress. All the palace ladies were chatting with their neighbors, and the whole room was filled with a rare harmony.

As soon as An Lingrong appeared at the door, the room suddenly became quiet.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen, may Her Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."

"Please stand up, Noble Lady Yu. The Emperor has sent someone to inform me that you are excused from paying your respects. It is truly thoughtful of you to come."

The Queen praised with a look of satisfaction.

As he said this, he casually glanced at Concubine Hua who was ignoring the palace rules.

Seeing that Concubine Hua looked unhappy, Lipin questioned her in a tender voice.

"Noble Lady Yu, all the concubines have to come and pay their respects to the Empress every day. You are so late. Aren't you being too disrespectful to the sisters in the palace?"

"Why do you say that, Concubine Li? When we used to pay our respects, the Empress taught us that we, the sisters in the palace, should be united. I have never been disrespectful to any of the other concubines. Could it be that the time for paying respects has changed after not seeing you for a day?"

The confusion on An Lingrong's face was too obvious.

Everyone felt a pang of regret. It could be said that everyone couldn't sleep after hearing the news from the Yangxin Palace. Wasn't this too early?

However, Concubine Hua didn't seem to be aware of this, and her eyes were wide open with arrogance.

"You talk like you've never been in bed with someone before! Who are you trying to show off by pretending to be so alluring and delicate?"

"It's late, it's late!"

"Okay, Sister Hua Fei, we are all sisters in the harem. How can you be so jealous?"

The Queen's words put an end to Concubine Hua's harassment of An Lingrong.

An Lingrong also looked at the Queen with gratitude.

Yixiu had two attitudes towards the concubines in the palace who had no children. She was wary of women from wealthy families, and she mainly tried to win over concubines from humble family backgrounds.

The snacks and tea on the table beside her had a lot of ingredients added to them. An Lingrong pretended to be unaware and used a lot of them like everyone else.

The Queen looked down with a smile, speaking up for An Lingrong from time to time.

Concubine Hua couldn't stand seeing the Queen trying to win over new people like this, so she took a sip of tea and spoke proudly.

"Her Majesty is worthy of being the mistress of the six palaces. Her frugality is a model for the harem."

"My sister has some new tea that the emperor gave her. Would you like to send some to me?"

......

Concubine Hua said that the Queen used old tea to entertain people. When An Lingrong saw Shen Meiyu put down the teacup beside her, she also sat there obediently.

The Queen and Concubine Hua were arguing with each other, one talking about tea and the other talking about the prince, with the flashes of swords and the fight piercing each other's hearts.

An Lingrong silently counted the number of concubines in the room and calculated how many fake pregnancy pills she needed to exchange.

All the medicinal materials in the palace are recorded. If Yonghe Palace consumes too much, it will inevitably bring trouble to itself.

It seems that we need to put having fun on the agenda, and it is best to do it during the New Year's Eve dinner to achieve amazing results.

Thinking of the New Year's Eve banquet, An Lingrong recalled the Plum Garden.

"Sister Queen, the dark gold earrings suit you very well, but this gourd may not suit you very well."

When the Queen heard Concubine Hua mocking her old age and difficulty in having children, the smile on her face almost couldn't be suppressed.

"Sister, you're joking. This was sent by Su Peisheng on the orders of the Emperor. The Imperial Household Department has recently acquired a batch of Hundred Sons and Thousand Grandsons Fruits, which will be delivered to your palaces later... to ensure a long line of descendants."

Everyone stood up and said, "We will follow the Queen's instructions."

Among them, An Lingrong shouted the loudest and won the praise of the Queen Mother.

Before leaving, he rewarded her with one or two boxes of cakes.

Fang Jiada, who came out a step later than her, had her eyes almost glued to it. An Lingrong was not blind, so she could see it naturally.

She moved forward slowly, absorbed the dirt inside, and let Baoque pass it over.
