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

It was not until she heard the palace maids' farewell voices from the courtyard that Zhen Huan fell into a drowsy sleep.

The shadow of the epidemic that had shrouded the palace dissipated, and at the queen's announcement, everyone resumed their daily greetings.

"I am very ill and have difficulty sleeping at night. I got up a little late. I hope you sisters can forgive me."

Concubine Hua couldn't stand the Queen's show-off look and secretly curled her lips.

If An Lingrong hadn't been sitting opposite her, she really wouldn't have noticed.

Seeing that Concubine Hua didn't move, she could only smile and open her mouth.

"Empress, you..."

Before An Lingrong could finish her words, a clear sound of vomiting was heard.

The queen, who was waiting for compliments, froze in the face and then looked over with concern.

"Is Noble Lady Fucha feeling unwell?"

"Reporting to the Empress, I have been having trouble swallowing food lately, and today I simply couldn't help myself. Please forgive me, Empress."

Looking at the obvious guilt on Noble Lady Fucha's face, An Lingrong thought that Noble Lady Fucha was indeed in good health.

Although her intervention delayed the time of his sleeping with the emperor and reduced the number of times he slept with the emperor, she became pregnant early.

Everyone present guessed something and looked at Noble Lady Fucha's belly at the same time.

The queen, who was sitting at the top, asked with concern.

"How long has it been since Sister Fucha changed her clothes?"

"Your Majesty, it seems to have been over a month. Because of the epidemic, I don't remember it very clearly."

As to whether it is really unclear or not, that depends on one's own opinion.

"Sister Fucha, this might be a very happy event."

The Queen asked Jiang Fuhai to invite Zhang Mi, and asked Jianqiu to serve tea and snacks to everyone.

"Sisters, please sit for a while and have some refreshments to fill your stomachs."

"Thank you, Queen, for your consideration."

An Lingrong picked up a piece of dry-looking snack and put it in her mouth. After chewing it twice, she found that it was indeed dry.

She has always preferred softer pastries and lighter soups, and she wondered if the Queen would be so kind as to serve everyone a bowl of duck soup.

The emperor had told her that the duck soup in the queen's palace was a delicacy.

The soup is clear and mellow, and drinking a bowl of it is the ultimate enjoyment.

No! I can’t think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the hungrier I get.

A trace of dissatisfaction with the emperor arose in her heart. Not only did she drink three bowls of wine in Jingren Palace, but she also deliberately said it out loud to make people greedy.

It’s not that An Lingrong didn’t ask Bao Ge to make old duck soup, but the emperor said it didn’t taste the same.

As for letting Baoge go to Jingren Palace to learn from him, it would be better to ask the emperor about the ingredients of old duck soup.

There were only six small pieces of pastries on the plate. An Lingren suppressed his restless hands and left one piece to save face.

Seeing her trying to cover up her mistake, Concubine Hua on the opposite side rolled her eyes and sneered.

An Lingrong glanced at her lightly, not acknowledging her.

The two of them have some friendship, but it cannot be exposed in front of other people.

But I heard that Concubine Hua raised a fat duck, and I don’t know how it would taste when stewed.

Hua Fei felt a chill on her back and suddenly looked up at the Queen who was drinking tea, trying to see if the old woman had any signs of trying to harm her.

At this moment, she probably couldn't imagine that it was An Lingrong who was thinking about her fairy duck.

How could the Queen not notice Hua Fei's direct gaze? She even moved her body deliberately and pointed her bulging belly towards Hua Fei.

"Sister Hua Fei, you are still young. As long as you serve the emperor well, you will be happy again."

"Thank you, Queen, for your comfort."

Looking at the smiling face of the Queen, Concubine Hua felt a pang in her heart. The Queen, an old woman, was in charge of the six palaces. Could it be that she had already seen through Huan Yixiang's secret and secretly laughed at her countless times?

She was unhappy and wanted to express it.

"Sister Queen is so generous. All the sisters should remember to have children for the royal family as soon as possible."

I cannot give birth, but if an old woman can get pregnant at such an old age, those young concubines can definitely get pregnant too.

Whenever she thought of the old woman pretending to greet the pregnant concubines one by one when paying her respects, she laughed out loud with joy.

"Sister Hua Fei, why are you so happy? Could you please tell us all?"

Hua Fei had touched the Queen's heart, so how could she miss the opportunity to embarrass her?

"Sister Queen, I'm happy for you. What a lively scene it would be if a group of imperial heirs were to have fun in Jingren Palace in the future?"

"Then Sister Hua Fei and the other sisters must serve the Emperor well."

The queen was not happy in her heart, but she looked cheerful and encouraging.

Everyone stood up and saluted, thanking the Queen for her teachings.

It was at this time that Zhang Mi entered the room, and everyone watched quietly as he took Noble Lady Fucha's pulse.

"Reporting to Her Majesty, Noble Lady Fucha's pulse is surging, and she is almost a month pregnant."

"Okay! Jiang Fuhai, go and report this good news to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

"Jianqiu, give orders to the Imperial Household Department and the Kitchen to take good care of Noble Lady Fucha. Also, select some supplements from our storehouse and send them to Yanxi Palace."

"Thank you very much, Her Majesty, for your concern."

Noble Lady Fucha thanked him happily.

In fact, she had already realized that she was pregnant, and she deliberately revealed it during the first greeting after the epidemic just to get good luck.

With the Empress taking the lead, everyone, no matter what they thought in their hearts, expressed their congratulations and secretly pondered what gifts they should send to the Yanx Palace.

An Lingrong still planned to send some items that could not be tampered with.

Since Hongzhan was born, the emperor gave him some items that looked good but were not practical. It would be great to keep them as gifts.

Anyway, things with the palace seal cannot be circulated outside the palace, but it is allowed to be given to people within the palace.

The queen looked at the smiling Noble Lady Fucha below her, and when she thought of her origin from the Bordered Yellow Banner, the top three of the Eight Banners, she subconsciously touched the baby in her belly.

After everyone finished congratulating her, she named Huanbi.

"I am grateful to you for your hard work in serving the Emperor, so I will promote you to the rank of concubine. I hope you will serve the Emperor well in the future."

"Thank you very much for your grace, Your Majesty. I will serve the Emperor well."

Huanbi had not expected such a good thing to happen to her, and she hurriedly stepped out to pay her respects.

My gratitude towards the Queen grew even deeper.

The queen glanced at the stunned Noble Lady Fucha and encouraged her again.

"Sisters, please follow Noble Lady Fucha's example and strive to be happy soon."

When she said this, she deliberately smiled and glanced at Concubine Hua.

An Lingrong was fortunate enough to witness Hua Fei's chest rising and falling, and then silently glanced at her own chest. In an instant, she felt less sorry for Hua Fei.

Her heart ached, so she had to go back and eat something good to replenish her body.

When Noble Lady Fucha became pregnant, the Emperor ordered her to move into the more spacious main hall of the Yanx Palace. Even the Empress Dowager personally sent Zhuxi to visit her.

For a while, Noble Lady Fucha was the most popular lady, making others pale in comparison.

Bao Ge said that there was a rumor in the palace that Concubine Fucha consumed a lot of supplements every day in order to nourish her fetus.
