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

News spread quickly in the palace, and since it concerned the royal heir, Zhu Xi did not dare to hide it from the empress dowager.

"The Queen is becoming more and more daring. If it weren't for..."

"Zhuxi, please go to Jingren Palace in person and ask her to come see me."

The queen was not surprised to learn the purpose of Zhuxi's visit.

She calmly went to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects to the empress dowager and asked in confusion.

"The Empress Dowager asked me to come here. Is there anything I need you to do?"

The Empress Dowager was not unaware of the Empress's private actions, and many times they were almost discovered by the Emperor's people, and she was the one who helped to clean up the mess.

But she was the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty after all, so she tried to persuade her earnestly.

"Yixiu, please stop! The emperor's lack of offspring will cause a turmoil in the previous dynasty. As the queen, you have no choice but to take responsibility."

"I do not understand what the Empress is talking about. However, as the Empress, I will definitely instruct all the sisters in the harem to have children for the Emperor as soon as possible."

The queen refused to admit it.

Back then, it was the empress dowager who claimed to love her, but she teamed up with her stepmother to send Rouze into the palace, snatched away her position as the wife, and harmed the well-behaved Honghui.

"Queen, this is all I have to say. Please think carefully about it."

The Queen Mother gave her final exhortation.

The queen took her leave.

"Zhu Xi, how could the Queen be so stubborn? As the legitimate mother, all the children born to the other concubines are hers. Choose a smart one to raise by your side, so that you can have hope for the rest of your life."

"Your Majesty, the Queen..."

The Queen has her own sufferings, Zhu Xi was smart enough not to finish this sentence.

The Empress Dowager shoulders the glory of the Uya and Ulanara families, but the Queen has always been alone.

The Empress Dowager thought to herself that Yixiu was becoming increasingly unbecoming.

"Zhuxi, send a letter to find out about the situation of the soon-to-be-married aunts of the Uya and Ulanara families."

As soon as the queen returned to the palace, she summoned Jianqiu and Jiang Fuhai.

As usual, during his daily greetings, he often cared about An Lingrong who was recuperating in Yonghe Palace.

For some time after this, the emperor did not set foot in the harem, and only ordered Su Peisheng to visit An Lingrong a few times.

"Your Majesty, Yu Ying'er came to report that she accidentally discovered a young eunuch secretly swinging in the Imperial Garden."

"Okay, reward."

The incident of someone throwing poison into Yonghe Palace caused such a big uproar, but there was no movement from Suiyuxuan.

The deadline set by An Lingrong has arrived, and it's time to take action.

"We've been bored in Yonghe Palace all day. Let's go for a walk in the Imperial Garden."

Bao Ge, who was becoming more and more intelligent, continued with a smile.

"If your Majesty is interested, I will arrange it immediately."

The emperor said that she did not need to pay respects until the baby was firmly seated, which meant that she did not need to go to Jingren Palace and face the sour words before the baby was three months old.

As the time for paying respects was getting closer, there was no need for her to stay in the palace.

Besides, Wei Lin was ordered to take care of the dragon fetus, and he came to check the pulse every now and then. The pulse records were all there, so anyone who was interested could naturally find it.

Her appearance in the Imperial Garden was also a signal for her to pay her respects.

In the imperial garden in spring, the thick snow has long melted into trickling clear streams, nourishing the land.

The flowers, plants and trees all compete to present their best appearance to the owner of the palace.

Surrounded by green trees, you can feel the cool breeze of spring every time you breathe.

The swing that Yu Ying'er mentioned is in the northwest corner of the Imperial Garden, a long way from Yonghe Palace.

An Lingrong paused several times before she saw the swing that Xiao Yunzi had made to please Zhen Huan.

Before she got close, the emperor's majestic voice came over.

"Rong'er, you are pregnant. You must not get close to such dangerous things."

An Lingrong stamped her feet in dissatisfaction, gently shook the emperor's sleeve, and acted coquettishly.

"Your Majesty, it's not me who wants to sit on it, it's the baby in my belly who wants to see the swing."

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can ask him in person."

An Lingrong has always been gentle and polite in front of the emperor. It is rare to see such a different side of her, and the emperor finds it quite interesting.

He tapped her nose with a smile.

"You, you! You just rely on me to pamper you."

"Su Peisheng, lunch is delivered to Yonghe Palace."

The emperor walked back holding An Lingrong's hand, waving his hands behind him a few times.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the group left, Zhen Huan, dressed in plain clothes, stepped into the Imperial Garden. She searched the area but did not see the swing that Xiao Yunzi had mentioned, so she had to leave in disappointment.

At this time, An Lingrong and her group had already stepped onto the long street.

After An Lingrong became pregnant, her appetite increased greatly, and the emperor, who had not accompanied her for meals for a long time, also ate a lot.

The two of them walked around Yonghe Palace in tacit understanding.

The emperor took advantage of An Lingrong's claim that the baby in her belly wanted to see the swing, and kept reciting poems and songs, insisting that he was enlightening the child.

"Orchid leaves are luxuriant in spring, and sweet-scented osmanthus flowers are bright in autumn."

"When Your Majesty mentioned osmanthus, I suddenly remembered that there are two osmanthus trees in the front yard of Yonghe Palace. When the sweet fragrance of the osmanthus comes one day, Your Majesty, please come to my palace to taste the delicacy from your hometown - osmanthus cake."

An Lingrong was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes, but the emperor was still enthusiastically reciting various poems praising flowers.

She couldn't help but interrupt.

"Oh? When I came to your palace before, I didn't smell the fragrance of osmanthus. Why is that? Could it be that the flower and grass servants were bullying their master and gave them a second-rate osmanthus tree?"

The emperor has been very wary of everyone lately.

"Your Majesty, I want you to stop making fun of me."

"You know I have a big appetite. I like to eat osmanthus cakes and drink osmanthus honey. As soon as the osmanthus flowers entered the palace, I sent people to pick them all."

An Lingrong explained embarrassedly.

"Rong'er, you did a great job."

The emperor has always been frugal, so he is naturally happy to see the concubines in the harem do the same.

In contrast to An Lingrong, he was reminded of Concubine Hua who dug plums and planted pomegranates.

What a luxury and waste!

The two of them strolled to the front yard, and the emperor took special care to admire the lush osmanthus tree.

Turning around, he saw An Lingrong staring blankly at the osmanthus tree, and he asked casually.

"Rong'er, are you homesick?"

"Your Majesty, before I left home, my mother warned me that wherever my husband is, that is my home."

"Meeting the Emperor is the greatest blessing in my life."

Yes, being able to live again and encounter the system is not a great blessing.

"Your mother is very good at raising children. I heard that she was pregnant before you entered the palace. Rong'er, should we send someone back to check on her?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

With the emperor's approval, she could openly give her mother some good things that were only available in the palace.

The conversation with the emperor made her suddenly realize that it was not bad to continue living like this.

But she only indulged herself for a few breaths, and then spoke worriedly.

"Your Majesty, the two osmanthus trees in Rong'er's courtyard were gifted by Concubine Wan of Suiyuxuan. Seeing the osmanthus flowers reminds me of Concubine Wan who is still ill."

She noticed that the emperor's breathing slowed down before she finished speaking.
