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

"Now that the weather is getting hotter, the number of mosquitoes has increased. I have embroidered an insect repellent sachet for you overnight. I hope you will accept it."

"I've consulted Imperial Physician Wen, and he's found some useful herbs like Pizhi and Huicao. If Sister Wan can't stand the smell, you can replace it with other insect repellent herbs."

Huanbi had said this much, so Zhen Huan took over with a smile.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this little girl who had followed her for many years had finally become sensible.

When Cui Jinxi saw the young lady happily hanging the sachet around her waist, her slightly open mouth closed again.

It's rare for the young lady to be in a good mood, so she shouldn't spoil her mood at this moment.

After serving her elder sister, Huanbi returned to her room with a sullen face.

She had been working so hard for so long, but she was still sitting on an embroidery stool in her eldest sister's room and hadn't even reached the edge of the couch.

The thoughtful Fubao brought over a cup of honey water.

"My lady, you have to pay your respects to the Jingren Palace tomorrow. After you have finished your sweet talk, go to bed early."

"The Queen has treated me well, so I really need to go to bed early."

Drinking the sweet and refreshing honey water, Huanbi was even more moved by the Empress's appreciation.

The next day, the queen woke up to Jianqiu's gentle call. She felt the soreness in her body with satisfaction and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Jianqiu, why didn't you wake me up when the emperor got up?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor loves you and has ordered us not to disturb your sweet dreams."

In fact, the emperor left Jingren Palace with a gloomy face.

Jianqiu was afraid that the queen would be sad, so she told a lie.

The people serving in the palace are all her own people, and no one would be so reckless as to tell the Empress about the Emperor's reaction.

Jianqiu served bird's nest to the queen, who was in a good mood, and spoke carefully.

"Your Majesty, before the Emperor left, he said that Shoukang Palace had recently disposed of a group of palace servants and asked you to fill in the gaps."

"Your Majesty is filial to the Empress Dowager, and I will naturally take it to heart."

The queen, who was putting on armor, agreed without changing her expression.

As long as she doesn't admit that she planted the nail, even the Queen Mother can't throw dirty water on her head.

"Jianqiu, help me out. Don't keep the sisters waiting for too long."

The queen, with a rosy face, felt that Honghui might be in her belly, and this was what she should worry about most at the moment.

"Sister Shufei, how is the Sixth Prince doing lately?"

An Lingrong replied with a smile.

"I thank the Empress for her concern. The Sixth Prince has been enjoying minced meat lately, and his appetite has improved. He has become much stronger."

Hua Fei, who didn't want to see the blush on the queen's old face, raised her head when she heard this.

Does An Lingrong have a brain disease? How could she be so honest as to tell the cruel queen about the Sixth Prince's situation?

No, she had to find a chance to remind him.

Unexpectedly, An Lingrong's next words almost made Concubine Hua drop her jaw.

"If the Empress doesn't mind Sixth Prince's noise, may I bring him here to pay his respects to you?"

Looking at the dazzling maternal love overflowing on Concubine Shu's face, the Queen declined with a smile.

"Sister Shufei, the spring wind is strong, please don't blow on Sixth Prince."

"When I have some free time in the next few days, I will go and visit Sixth Prince."

Hua Fei's heart, which had just been relieved, began to hang in the air again, and she couldn't wait to respond.

"Since the Queen is going to visit the Sixth Prince, I cannot be left behind."

"Sister Shufei, you won't be unwelcoming to me, right?"

An Lingrong looked at Concubine Hua who was looking angry and spoke softly.

"I am so happy to have someone loving Sixth Prince. How could I not welcome Sister Hua Fei?"

"Since you are good at talking, I will not go there empty-handed."

After Hua Fei finished speaking, she looked up.

"Sister Queen, the Emperor gave me a pair of plain gold bracelets. I'd like to give them to the Sixth Prince. What do you think?"

"Sister Hua Fei, that was specially made by the Emperor after he learned that you were pregnant. You are still young, don't..."

Hua Fei was impatient to listen to the Queen's ridicule and sighed softly.

"Sister Queen, I haven't been able to get pregnant in all these years, and I've kind of accepted my fate."

"As long as it's the Emperor's child, I will love it."

"I believe that the Queen is just like me."

These words made the queen so angry that she fell backwards.

It is true that Nian Shilan cannot have children, but why would she be taken along after just sleeping with him?

Isn't this the curse waiting for her Honghui?

The queen suppressed her anger and tried to comfort him.

"Sister Hua Fei, don't be discouraged. The sisters in the harem have become pregnant one after another. Who knows, you might become pregnant one day."

"I hope so."

Hua Fei replied unhappily.

It was simply a dream to expect her to compliment the old queen and get pregnant again.

Speaking of which, the old queen is too shameless. She is almost fifty years old, but she still tries every means to seduce the emperor to stay overnight.

Hua Fei rolled her eyes silently and lowered her head to admire the armor, as if it was engraved with an eye-catching flower.

In order to show her magnanimity, the queen pretended to be distressed and looked at Concubine Hua several times.

Then, as usual, he greeted the dragon fetus of Concubine Ke and Concubine Wan.

"The Queen Mother is devoted to worshipping Buddha, and it's rare for her to get along with Lady Wan. If you have time, go spend more time with her."

"I obey your command."

Zhen Huan, who had recovered after a night of rest, responded softly.

In fact, she was feeling very bitter. Although Aunt Zhuxi said that she could sit down and copy scriptures, Zhen Huan didn't dare to do so.

After a busy day, I have no strength left.

"That's all for today's greetings. Sisters, please go back and have your meal."

The Queen concluded her greetings considerately.

She had some breakfast, packed up, and went straight to Shoukang Palace.

"Slave, please see the Queen."

"Aunt Zhuxi, please excuse me. I've come to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. May I ask if the Empress Dowager is available?"

Zhuxi smiled and welcomed the person inside.

"The Empress Dowager is drinking tea inside. Please come in."

When the queen stepped onto the long street, someone came to report that the empress dowager had come out of the Buddhist temple and was waiting there.

"Empress, how are you feeling these days? Would you like to see the imperial physician?"

"Thank you for your concern, Madam Queen. I am not feeling unwell."

The Queen pretended not to hear the Queen Mother blaming her for sleeping with the Emperor.

The Queen Mother paused while twirling her Buddhist beads and tried to persuade him earnestly.

"Yixiu, as long as I am still alive, you will always be the Empress of the Qing Dynasty."

"You can choose a prince you like and raise him by your side."

"Even if the emperor one day... no one can shake your honor as the emperor's wife."

The queen's eyes warmed up. If it weren't for the queen mother's mischief, how could her "prince" not be able to see the sun rising outside the palace.

"Yixiu, the emperor has no children, you should have planned for yourself long ago."

The emperor's lack of children is not caused by her alone!

The Prince Yong's Mansion back then...

That's it!

The Queen whispered "I know" and then revealed the purpose of this trip.

"Empress Mother, the Emperor is worried that the Shoukang Palace lacks sufficient maids to serve you and may be neglecting you. This son has specially selected a group of maids from the Imperial Household Department to fill the gap."

"You are all very thoughtful. After dealing with those disloyal palace servants, I have ordered Zhuxi to select those who will rest in peace in the palace."

When the Queen Mother said this, her weather-beaten eyes were fixed on the Queen, but she could not see anything unusual in her.
