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

"My dear, what would you like for lunch?"

Noble Lady Fucha remembered what Concubine Qi had said and listed a few dishes without hesitation.

"Mutton hotpot, beef hotpot, roasted deer tendon, roasted clams, stewed pork, chicken fillet, and clear-boiled duck soup, plus a bowl of rock sugar bird's nest."

"The slaves obey."

Noble Lady Fucha looked at her personal maid running away and smiled complacently.

As soon as her family heard the news that she was pregnant, all kinds of good things were sent to the palace.

She wasn't bragging, but with the things she just ordered, even the Queen might not be willing to have a table with them.

When the Queen learned that Noble Lady Fucha was taking tonics every day, she smiled and held Jianqiu's hand while walking in the palace.

"Noble Lady Fucha is pregnant with the dragon fetus. Don't let those inconsiderate servants in the kitchen and the Imperial Household Department neglect her."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely instruct the palace servants to take good care of Noble Lady Fucha and ensure that the supplies to the small kitchen in Yanxi Palace are not lacking."

The emperor frowned slightly when he heard from Su Peisheng about Noble Lady Fucha's extravagant life.

"Su Peisheng, send someone to tell the Queen... forget it."

"Let the imperial physician who examined Noble Lady Fucha's pulse persuade her."

He already had the Sixth Prince, and the Queen was pregnant, so he was not in a hurry to have a child.

If Noble Lady Fucha doesn't listen to advice, then let her be.

Sure enough, after listening to the imperial physician's tactful persuasion, Concubine Fucha not only did not restrain herself, but instead felt that someone was jealous of her well-being, and her appetite became even better.

The Queen looked at Noble Lady Fucha, who was becoming increasingly plump, and she began to favor her more and more.

When paying respects every day, one must carefully inquire about the condition of the dragon fetus.

An Lingrong watched coldly as the Queen valued Concubine Fucha, and her defenses against the Queen were raised to the highest level. She turned around and instructed Baoque and the others to take good care of the Sixth Prince.

The queen's constant little tricks are really annoying.

Before that, he had actually released a mad cat into Yonghe Palace while she was attending a palace banquet.

In order to protect the Sixth Prince, Haba Mama scratched her hands.

A few days later, cold food was found in Nanny Kou Dai's food.

She reported this to the emperor, but to date there has been no result.

An Lingrong took out a small porcelain bottle as smooth as jade. It was actually given to her by the Queen when she gave her pregnancy-preserving pills. It was just the right size to hold the incense she made in her spare time.

That day, after getting up, the queen took a walk in the courtyard as usual. She pinched Jianqiu's hand.

"The Emperor is not in the palace these days. Please take care of Concubine Shu and her son for me."

"The servant understands."

"And Fucha..."

"what!!!"

"Someone, come quickly... protect the queen."

.....

An Lingrong was teasing the Sixth Prince when Baoque came hurriedly to report.

"Your Majesty, news has come from Jingren Palace that the Empress was frightened and has been sent to the delivery room."

"I understand. Baoque, you stay in the palace and look after the Sixth Prince. Don't let anyone take advantage of the chaos."

"The slaves obey."

An Lingrong, feeling uneasy, personally inspected the East Side Hall before hurriedly rushing to Jingren Palace.

At the door, she met Concubine Hua who was also in a hurry. Their eyes met and they walked into Jingren Palace together.

Hua Fei has more experience than An Lingrong, and she asked anxiously as soon as she entered.

"Jiang Fuhai, the emperor is not in the palace now. Have you sent someone to inform the empress dowager?"

"Replying to Her Majesty Hua Fei, I have sent someone to Shoukang Palace."

Hua Fei nodded and asked again in a stern tone.

"How did the Queen get frightened? Did you slave dogs fail to take good care of her?"

Jiang Fuhai knelt down quickly with a bitter face.

"Your Highness, Consort Hua, it's Songzi, the Queen's pet, who has gone mad for some reason and is biting you."

"The scratches on my hand were caused at that time."

Although the wound on the back of his hand had stopped bleeding, he could still vaguely feel the ferocity of Songzi's claws.

An Lingrong naturally knew that the incense she made had worked.

Originally, the queen would have miscarried before the full term, but she should never have set her sights on Hongzhan.

If she didn't reciprocate, she probably wouldn't be able to finish her meal.

Seeing someone else entering the gate, a trace of worry appeared on An Lingrong's face.

"Eunuch Jiang, may I ask if the beast that injured the Queen has been apprehended?"

"Your Highness, I am incompetent. Songzi was so panicked by the crowd that he jumped into the well."

Something happened to the Queen in Jingren Palace, and all the palace servants who served her could not escape responsibility.

Jiang Fuhai had already issued a death order that all the pine nuts in the well must be fished out, regardless of whether they were dead or alive.

Next, neither Hua Fei nor An Lingrong said anything. They both stood outside waiting for the empress dowager in charge to arrive.

As soon as the Queen Mother came in, Zhuxi stopped everyone from bowing.

"Jiang Fuhai, what is the Queen's current situation?"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Doctor Zhang said that the Empress was frightened and might go into premature labor. The midwife has already entered the delivery room and is on standby."

After hearing that the Queen was frightened by the pine nuts, the Queen Mother was so angry that her hands were shaking.

As early as when she returned to the palace, she had reminded the queen that pregnant women should not keep furry animals around them.

But the Queen refused to listen and insisted that it was sent by the Third Prince through Concubine Qi and she was reluctant to hurt the Third Prince's feelings.

In fact, what the Queen Mother didn’t know was that the Queen wanted to keep the pine nuts to deal with pregnant women in the harem.

But this time, the Queen frequently attacked the Sixth Prince, touching An Lingrong's sore spot.

After the Queen Mother understood the cause of the incident, she led everyone into the inner room.

She sat in the place where the Queen usually greeted the Queen, and An Lingrong and Concubine Hua took their seats in turn.

The Queen Mother was shivering all over, and no one dared to say a word.

Only the Queen's cries of pain could be heard.

"Jianqiu, you must protect my child."

"My lady, I understand."

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother is here, you and your brother will be safe."

"Aunt...Aunt..."

In panic, the queen shouted out a name she hadn't called out for many years.

The Queen Mother was startled and quickly walked to the door of the delivery room to respond.

"Yixiu, Auntie is here. Don't be afraid, Auntie will always be here with you."

The queen was screaming in the delivery room, and the queen mother was comforting her outside the door.

For a moment, An Lingrong felt that the shadows of the Empress Dowager and the Queen overlapped in her eyes, as if forming a new face.

She patted her head and drove the ridiculous thought out of her mind.

As basin after basin of blood was brought out from the delivery room, Zhang Mi gritted his teeth and forced himself to kneel upright on the ground.

After he returned from the Old Summer Palace, he immediately submitted a petition to retire and return home, but the emperor declined on the grounds that he was helping the empress to take care of her pregnancy.

If the dragon fetus in the queen's womb cannot be born safely this time, I wonder if it will affect her family.

The queen was in trouble in the delivery room, and the concubines had to wait in Jingren Palace according to the rules.

Thanks to the Empress Dowager, everyone had a bowl of plain noodles from the small kitchen of Jingren Palace for dinner.

It was late at night, and the queen in the delivery room had not yet given birth, but a smell of blood was already filling the air outside.

Just as everyone was anxiously staring at the delivery room, Huanbi shouted loudly.

"Noble Wan has fainted!"
