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

The drowsy queen floated in the air and watched the young Ulanara Yixiu happily enter Prince Yong's palace as a concubine.

The couple lived in harmony, and Concubine Yi soon became pregnant.

The suave prince smiled and promised that as long as she gave birth to a son, he would get her the position of consort.

In the blink of an eye, the stepmother sent her unmarried elder sister to the palace on the pretext of taking care of her during childbirth.

Human faces flashed before her eyes like a kaleidoscope of light, finally stopping on the lifeless face of a young child.

The queen, with her hands and feet bound, rushed forward like a madman, screaming heart-wrenchingly.

"Honghui! My mother's Honghui!"

As a wave of dizziness came over her, the queen opened her heavy eyes and looked at the smiling person sitting beside the bed in confusion.

I was stunned for a while before I realized that it was just a dream.

"Your Majesty, what happened to me?"

"Yixiu, Imperial Physician Zhang said you're pregnant with a dragon fetus."

"Your servant congratulates the Queen, congratulations to the Queen."

Only after Jiang Fuhai and Jianqiu took the lead in congratulating her did Yixiu dare to believe that she was indeed pregnant.

After more than 20 years, she became pregnant again.

It must be Honghui who is blessing my mother.

Yixiu touched her not-yet-not-noticed belly and cried with joy, the tenderness in her eyes almost overflowing.

The emperor was naturally happy to see the queen pregnant, but thinking of Zhang Wuwei's words that the queen might have a hard time with this pregnancy, he sincerely advised her.

"Yixiu, the imperial physician said you fainted because you were overworked."

"You are pregnant now. Why don't you take good care of yourself for a while and let Concubine Hua and Noble Lady Shen take care of the palace affairs?"

A queen without power in the palace is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out.

Yixiu had suffered a great loss before, and this time she was determined to keep power in her hands to protect the fetus in her womb.

She held on to her weak body and politely refused to hand over the palace power.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am worried about the harem. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will take good care of the dragon fetus."

She had planned for a long time before making Concubine Hua lose her power to assist in managing the six palaces. How could she let all her previous efforts go to waste?

The two had been married for many years, so the emperor naturally understood the queen's character. He paused his hand on the bed and gave her a gentle instruction.

"Then Queen, take good care of yourself. I will go and tell the Empress Dowager the good news myself."

"I respectfully send you to your Majesty."

After watching the emperor and his entourage walk away, Jianqiu carefully served the queen a bowl of ginseng chicken soup.

"Miss, the emperor was kind-hearted just now, why did you..."

"Jianqiu, I dreamed of Honghui. He might have sent this child back because he felt his mother was having a hard time."

A big dream made her understand a lot.

She just wanted to protect her child.

Walking under the shade of trees, the emperor recalled Honghui who died young and could not help but give orders.

"Su Peisheng, call Zhang Mi back to protect the Queen's pregnancy. Ask the Imperial Household Department to send some nourishing food to the Queen. If there is any in my inner treasury, please take some as well."

The queen was only three years younger than him, and it was unknown whether she could endure the pain of childbirth and give birth to the baby safely.

The emperor sighed and decided to ask the empress dowager for some advice.

Before lunch, a piece of news broke in the garden.

The Queen is pregnant, and the Queen Mother has asked to go visit her in person, leaving her personal nanny to take care of her.

"Master, Queen..."

The young Bao Ge hesitated and stopped talking halfway, looking at An Lingrong worriedly.

"Bao Ge, the Empress's pregnancy is a great joy. You and Bao Que should go and deliver the fertility-giving Guanyin gift from the Empress Dowager to Taohuawu."

She has been waiting for news from the Queen these days.

According to the Queen's cautious style, she would definitely protect Taohuawu perfectly.

The dragon fetus would tie up the queen's hands and feet and distract her attention from others.

The queen is pregnant, so she shouldn't target other pregnant concubines like a mad dog, right?

She stroked her quiet belly and looked towards Taohuawu with a smile.

No matter what, the baby in her belly must be born safely.

The Empress's pregnancy is just the beginning, there will be more exciting things to come.

Even the concubines who lived so far away received the news, not to mention the other concubines who lived closer.

When Concubine Hua in Qingliang Palace heard the news, tears immediately burst out of her eyes.

"Songzhi, the heavens are blind. That old woman did such evil things, yet she got pregnant."

"My lady, you are still young and you will definitely have a child."

Songzhi hugged the young lady who was in great pain.

The master and servant in the room cried together.

An anxious Zhou Ninghai stood guard outside the door with his confidants and threatened loudly.

"Whatever happened in Qingliang Palace today must not be revealed to anyone, otherwise I will not let you suffer any consequences."

"Master Zhou, we understand."

Everyone expressed their loyalty, fearing that if they spoke too slowly they would be targeted by the ruthless Zhou Ninghai.

Cao Qinmo, who lived near Qingliang Palace, gently coaxed Princess Wen Yi in her arms.

Her eyes were frighteningly cold. As her daughter Wen Yi was about to turn one year old, the Queen actually revealed the news of her pregnancy.

Even if Concubine Yu was pregnant before, with the support of Concubine Hua, Wen Yi's first birthday party would have been a grand celebration.

But now that the Empress is pregnant, Concubine Hua has no time to help her.

Cao Qinmo glanced at her poor daughter and murmured softly.

"Wen Yi, mother will definitely give you a grand birthday party."

Her mother's family is declining, and Wen Yi is her only hope.

She gently placed Wen Yi on the couch, covered him with a thin quilt, and smiled with her eyes narrowed.

Zhen Huan, who was also far away from the Bitong Academy, only learned the news of the Queen's pregnancy because Shen Meizhuang came to her house.

"Huan'er, I heard that the queen was found to be pregnant because she fainted from overwork."

"If the Queen delegates her power to others in order to recuperate, what will my sister do?"

Huan'er has been smart since she was young, and the worried Shen Meizhuang asked her for advice.

If the Empress is unable to handle palace affairs, Concubine Hua will inevitably be reinstated. Shen Meizhuang, having learned all about the affairs of the six palaces, will probably not be able to escape, and a dispute between the two is inevitable.

Zhen Huan pulled the panicked Shen Meizhuang and comforted her softly.

"Sister, you might as well think differently. If you have the power of the palace, you will have the ability to fight against Concubine Hua and no longer have to worry about being assassinated."

As soon as the Queen became pregnant, the person who would be most anxious would probably be her arch-enemy, Concubine Hua.

If Sister Mei divided the palace power and the harem was in chaos, she would have more opportunities to accompany Silang.

Seeing that Shen Meizhuang was still hesitating, Zhen Huan reminded her with concern.

"Sister, if we want to survive in the palace, we must have power in our hands."

"This is the opportunity the Emperor has given you. Sister, you must seize it."

When Shen Meizhuang thought of the emperor's trust in her, her cheeks flushed and she nodded gently.

Her mother wrote to her, asking her to give birth to the baby as soon as possible.

She has been recuperating for some time, and if she is lucky enough to get pregnant, that would be perfect.

The two sisters, with different thoughts, talked about many interesting things and had dinner together before saying goodbye reluctantly.
