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

Broken Yuxuan

"Miss, the Imperial Household Department is withholding our charcoal, and the Imperial Kitchen is also giving us a hard time."

"We have almost used up all the things that Concubine Yu sent us. How about we go and ask her for help again?"

Liuzhu Zhu suggested cautiously.

Yonghe Palace sends things to Suiyuxuan every two weeks. Since the young lady fainted more than two weeks ago, she has declined the things from there.

The charcoal, rice, flour and meat sent by Concubine Yu were exactly what they needed.

Zhen Huan coughed twice in a hurry and shouted to stop him.

"Liu Zhu, let's not trouble Concubine Yu. And you must keep an eye on Huanbi. Don't let her set foot outside of Suiyuxuan again."

Liu Zhu was so panicked that tears streamed down her face.

"My lady, Concubine Shen has been detained by Concubine Hua in Yikun Palace to learn palace affairs. She won't be back until dark."

"How about I go and ask Doctor Wen to help us?"

"My lord, absolutely not."

Cui Jinxi hurriedly stopped him and signaled Liuzhu to go out with her eyes.

That night, the lights in Suiyuxuan were on until late at night. The eunuchs who got up at night passed by many times but could not hear any sound from inside.

An Lingrong learned about the abnormality in Shuiyuxuan the next day, and she waved to Baoque.

"Bao Que, have someone check on Cui Jinxi."

Because Su Peisheng and Cui Jinxi were from the same hometown, he took extra care of her and gradually developed feelings for her.

It was Su Peisheng who arranged for Cui Jinxi to go to Suiyuxuan, but An Lingrong always felt something was wrong.

In his previous life, Su Peisheng sided with Zhen Huan, took advantage of her misfortune, and was always thinking about her in the Yanxi Palace.

Such kindness must be reciprocated.

The days passed slowly, and An Lingrong, with a good appetite, chatted with the emperor again under the quilt.

The health of the master of Suiyuxuan has improved.

Everything was developing in the direction An Lingrong had imagined.

Another thing is that Kang Luhai left Sui Yuxuan and took the initiative to ask to take care of Lipin, which caused instability among the people in Sui Yuxuan. Many palace maids and eunuchs with connections found ways out.

The people arranged by Bao Ge took the opportunity to sneak into Suiyuxuan and accidentally heard Huanbi, who had been under house arrest for many days, crying and shouting, and learned that she was Zhen Huan's biological sister.

An Lingrong took note of it silently and would ask someone to investigate Zhen Yuandao when she had the chance.

Why would he, a fourth-rank official in the Dali Temple, send his own daughter to be a maid to his eldest daughter?

There must be some unspeakable secret behind this.

On the day of the palace banquet, An Lingrong wore the auspicious clothes of a noble lady and put on a rare exquisite makeup, which made her skin look as white as snow.

The palace banquet on New Year's Eve is a celebration for the entire palace. It is said that the empress dowager, who has never appeared in public and is devoted to worshipping Buddha, will also attend.

This is also the first opportunity for the newlyweds to meet the Queen Mother.

During the last election, no one from the Empress Dowager's family entered the palace. Since there was no need for her to save face, she was too lazy to pay attention to the beauties in the harem.

"The Queen Mother has arrived! The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"

An Lingrong, along with everyone else, paid respects to the three masters in the palace.

The Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress each said some polite words, and then the banquet began.

It was a rare opportunity to watch singing and dancing in the palace, so An Lingrong naturally would not miss it.

Concubine Hua was a wealthy woman, and there were fruits on everyone's table.

The vegetarian dishes in the winter palace were mainly cabbage and radish. It was rare to see tangerines and other green vegetables, so of course she had to eat as much as she could.

Seeing that she loved fresh fruit, Shen Meizhuang at the next table asked someone to bring her a plate of oranges.

An Lingrong smiled back.

Since they parted at Sui Yuxuan, the two had no contact.

However, every time they went to bed with Concubine Hua, they would be subjected to Hua Fei's sarcastic remarks.

As time went by, the two of them felt a sense of sympathy.

The dishes for the palace banquet were prepared by Concubine Hua. The emperor liked to eat mutton and venison, so there were two pots on almost everyone's table.

Charcoal was added to the bottom of the pot, and after it was lit, a strong smell of mutton came towards An Lingrong.

This time she didn't have to pretend and vomited it all out.

An Lingrong had a loud voice and she ate well, so her vomiting sound was heard even by the emperor who was enjoying the singing and dancing in his high seat.

"Lady Yu, would you like to eat..."

The emperor originally wanted to ask if he had eaten too much, but when he saw the clan members sitting below, he changed his mind.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"Your Majesty, as soon as I smelled the fishy smell coming from the table, I couldn't help but feel nauseous."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I did not mean to disrupt the palace banquet."

An Lingrong hurriedly confessed her crime.

Concubine Hua, who was sitting below the Queen, was so angry that her eyes widened, thinking that An Lingrong was deliberately making things difficult for her.

Knowing that she had put a lot of effort into organizing the palace banquet, she still caused trouble.

The Empress Dowager and the Queen were both experienced people. The Empress Dowager glanced at the Queen with dissatisfaction and gave orders with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please call the imperial physician quickly."

"It's probably a very happy event."

Su Peisheng went in person to invite him and brought Zhang Mi from the Imperial Hospital.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhang Mi didn't dare to look at the Queen's expression and fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Concubine Yu is pregnant and has been pregnant for almost two months."

"Okay, that's great."

The emperor has struggled in the harem for so long, and it is rare for a seed to sprout. How can he not be happy?

The Queen, along with other concubines and clan members, congratulated the Emperor.

The Queen Mother spoke at this time.

"Your Majesty, today is a truly auspicious day."

"Yes, it is indeed a good day. The Empress Dowager is right. Rong'er is in good health. I thank the Empress Dowager for choosing Rong'er to enter the palace."

The Emperor sincerely thanked the Queen Mother...

As soon as his gratitude emerged, he heard the Queen Mother mutter.

"How can a family reunion day not be a good day?"

The Empress and Concubine Hua, who were nearby, didn't dare to say a word. They all thought in unison that the Empress Dowager was really rubbing salt into the Emperor's wounds.

Could it be that the Empress Dowager is living too comfortably that she has to mention the Fourteenth Master, who is at odds with the Emperor, at this important moment?

The drunken Tenth Prince heard the Emperor and his mother gossiping and mistakenly thought they had a deep mother-son relationship.

So I asked while drunk.

"Excuse me, but may I ask what the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were talking about in private?"

"Tell it out loud so that Old Ten can hear it too."

The Tenth Lady had no time to cover her mouth, and hurriedly knelt down to apologize, and even pulled down the prince who was looking up.

Su Peisheng, who was close by, had cold sweat on his forehead. Ouch! My Tenth Prince, why is he curious about everything?

The emperor is worthy of being the emperor, he said with a smile.

"Old Ten, don't you want to know what I said to the Empress Dowager?"

"Listen carefully, the Empress Dowager said today is an auspicious day, and Concubine Yu has been found to be pregnant today, so she will be rewarded generously."

"I have decided to promote Concubine Yu to Concubine Yu. What do you think, Old Ten?"

You don't do your job all day long, and you come to destroy my place when you're drunk.

The share of a concubine was far from what a small noble could get. The emperor said the last sentence with gritted teeth.

The Tenth Prince, who had been awakened by Shifu, had no choice but to shout loudly.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."
