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

"Master, Huang Guiquan from the Ministry of Internal Affairs has delivered a batch of things."

"I think there are a lot more than last month."

"Eunuch Huang also said that if the queen needs anything, she can come to him."

Huang Guiquan is Hua Fei's man.

What does Nian Shilan want to do this year?

An Lingrong reviewed the layout of the palace and understood what she meant.

She must have been planning to give birth smoothly in order to strike a blow against the Queen.

As a beneficiary, An Lingrong felt pretty good.

It wasn't so hot in the second half of the afternoon. An Lingrong, who had already learned that the emperor was reviewing memorials in the Qinzheng Hall, ordered Baoque to deliver the purse that she had worked on for several days.

"Master, the Emperor said he would come and have dinner with you."

"Okay, Baoge, go and prepare the osmanthus cake."

She hadn't sent osmanthus cake to the emperor for some time, and she guessed that the emperor was missing this.

Baoge’s freshly made crystal osmanthus cake is translucent and perfect for cooling off in the summer.

When the emperor comes here, Xiao Xiazi, who serves him, will definitely come as well.

An Lingrong said to Baoque who was sewing a small quilt.

"Bao Que, have Bao Ge stew a big pot of mung bean soup and add more sugar."

"My Lord, you are so kind. I, your servant, would like to thank you on behalf of all the other palace maids."

Every time the master ordered me to cook mung bean soup, my brother would be able to do it five times out of ten.

Baoque couldn't express her gratitude openly on behalf of her brother, so she had to kowtow to her master in the name of a palace servant.

As soon as the news of the distribution of mung bean soup spread, the palace servants walking up and down the hall became much more brisk.

When the emperor arrived at the door, the palace maids' voices of greeting became much louder.

"Su Peisheng, why are they all so happy? Go ask them."

Upon learning that An Lingrong had ordered people to distribute mung bean soup, the emperor smiled and joked.

"Rong'er is so kind that you guys caught up."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yu is considerate of the palace servants. This old servant has drunk mung bean soup with her several times."

Concubine Yu has always been generous. I heard from her servants that licorice and precious white sugar are added to the mung bean soup to relieve heat.

Even the wily Su Peisheng couldn't say anything bad about Concubine Yu against his conscience.

Su Peisheng glanced at his apprentice Xiao Xiazi. Every time they heard that the emperor was coming to see Concubine Yu, the subordinates would scramble to follow him. But this silly apprentice had complained to the empress because he had been beaten for his poor performance, so he was never proactive.

If it weren't for his master thinking about him, where would this silly boy get the mung bean soup to drink?

Su Peisheng became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and decided to go back and have a good talk with this stupid apprentice.

Before An Lingrong could go out to greet the guests, the emperor strode over and quickly stopped her.

"Rong'er, it's very hot outside, don't come out."

After drinking a big bowl of green bean soup to relieve the heat, the emperor felt that the heat had dissipated a little.

"Rong'er's embroidery of a prolific family is very much to my liking, but you are about to give birth, so please don't overwork yourself in the future."

Although he said this, he felt very happy in his heart.

An Lingrong glanced at the string of purses hanging around the emperor's waist and replied softly.

"It is a blessing for me to be able to do these little things for His Majesty. How can I say it is tiring?"

Sewing undergarments and outer robes takes too much energy, so I'll just make purses next time.

The emperor smiled and relaxed on the couch.

"Rong'er is about to give birth, but is there anything else that is not ready?"

"Your Majesty, my mother just gave birth to my younger brother and I am unable to come to the capital to take care of him."

"I would like to ask the Emperor to send an experienced nanny to supervise the birth."

When a concubine in the palace is eight months pregnant, her family members can enter the palace to take care of her.

Considering her mother's health and her younger brother who was born not long ago, An Lingrong wrote a letter back home long ago to prevent her mother from traveling and getting tired.

This was not a big deal. The emperor immediately called Su Peisheng and asked him to arrange a nanny to take care of An Lingrong.

"Rong'er is about to give birth, but she misses her family. Do you need me to transfer your father to the capital?"

A bucket of cold water was poured towards An Lingrong who was still in high spirits.

She quickly stood up and refused.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Majesty. As the Book of Rites says, a son should not speak ill of his father. Today, Rong'er will be the unfilial daughter again."

"Your Majesty, I have been with my father for sixteen years and I know him best."

"Father has lived a mediocre life and is not suited to a prosperous place like the capital. I think he can stay in Songyang."

An Bihuai is a person who enjoys life in the moment. He is not at ease even far away in Songyang, let alone being transferred to the capital.

Before An Lingrong decided to enter the palace again, she had no plans to bring An Bihuai with her.

Judging from the date, the news of the robbery of military grain in the northwest will soon be reported to the capital.

Today will be the last time that she, his daughter, will do anything for him.

An Lingrong's answer was beyond the emperor's expectations. He walked forward and pulled her to sit down.

"Rong'er is very understanding, so I won't force you. If you want to see your family in the future, send someone to pick them up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After being reminded by the emperor, An Lingrong felt that someone would cause trouble before giving birth.

She decided to have a good discussion with Baoque and the others after dinner to take precautions in advance.

With the emperor present, the whole table is full again.

After summer came, An Lingrong liked fresh fruits and vegetables, so the meat was placed with the emperor.

The war in the northwest has been intense recently, and the emperor is very angry.

He picked up two pieces of cold shredded chicken with his chopsticks and couldn't help but stretch his chopsticks towards An Lingrong.

The crispy fruits and vegetables are a unique enjoyment.

"Rong'er, you know how to eat. Those people in the imperial kitchen don't even know how to serve me some fresh food."

"Your Majesty, summer is the season when fruits and vegetables grow. Concubine Hua knows that I love to eat these, so she takes special care of me. A lot of fresh fruits are delivered to me every day from the nearby imperial farm."

An Lingrong said this to, firstly, point out that what she ate didn't cost her much money; secondly, to repay Concubine Hua for her care.

The fruits and vegetables from the imperial farm were not worth much, but those sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were all good things.

The emperor swallowed a piece of melon and praised with a smile.

"Hua Fei is thoughtful."

An Lingrong nominated Hua Fei in front of the emperor, but whether the emperor went to Qingliang Palace was not something she could decide.

In the subsequent communication, she never mentioned Hua Fei again.

As for the fact that Zhen Huan had been practicing the Jinghong Dance since she was a child, it was not her place to be concerned.

Concubine Yu is about to give birth and cannot serve the emperor.

Ever since the emperor entered the palace, many concubines have sent people to keep an eye on the movements here.

When Concubine Hua learned that the emperor was heading towards Qingliang Palace, she smiled and called Songzhi to her side.

"Princess Yu knows how to return a favor, so I can't be stingy."

"I heard that a midwife has been arranged to take care of her during childbirth. You..."

After receiving the order, Songzhi hurriedly contacted the Nian family outside the palace.

Concubine Hua sat happily on the chair, waiting for the emperor to arrive.

The Queen of Taohuawu has been very upset since she heard that Concubine Yu had sent someone to deliver a purse to the Emperor.

When she heard that the emperor went straight to Qingliang Palace, she was so angry that her stomach started to ache.

"Jianqiu, go get the imperial physician."

She had a deep impression of An Lingrong and Hua Fei in her heart.
