I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded
Chapter 77 An Lingrong (76)
The Queen leaned against the carved phoenix chair in Jingren Palace, tapping the armrests repeatedly, her expression changing from gloomy to bright.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, a trace of contempt flashing in them, "Jianqiu, do you think Zhen Huan is a fool?"
Jianqiu stood aside with her head bowed, and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty is wise. Wanpin was indeed not cautious enough and wasted such a good opportunity."
The Queen sneered, "Yes, I put so much thought into this drama, hoping to use her to get rid of Nian Shilan, but I didn't expect that she would get herself into trouble first. She is such a hopeless piece of shit."
The Queen sighed softly, her tone carrying a hint of regret and a hint of sarcasm, "I thought she was a talented person with great potential, but now it seems that she is just so-so."
Jianqiu stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, the outer walls of Jingyang Palace have been repainted."
The Queen frowned, "Oh? What does this mean?"
Jianqiu said solemnly, "I dare to speculate that Imperial Concubine Shu may have discovered what we did earlier."
The Queen's face darkened, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes. "So, she has seen through my plan?"
Jianqiu nodded, "I'm afraid so. Imperial Concubine Shu is very thoughtful and meticulous, and we underestimated her before. Now that she has given birth to a prince, the Emperor loves her even more, and I'm afraid she will be even more difficult to deal with in the future."
The Queen was silent for a moment, a fierce look flashing in her eyes. "It seems that I have to find another way."
As night fell, the scent of ambergris filled the air in the emperor's bedroom, interweaving with the faint scent of powder on Concubine Qi's body, forming a strange fragrance.
The emperor was wearing bright yellow pajamas, his eyes fixed on Concubine Qi's shy face, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Concubine Qi was wearing a pink nightgown, her skin was whiter than snow, and her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, making her even more charming and attractive.
The flickering candlelight illuminated the intertwined figures of the two people, creating a charming atmosphere in the bedroom.
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the hall through the window lattices, giving everything a golden glow.
Concubine Qi was dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, with an unconcealable pride on her face, and she slowly walked into the Queen's bedroom.
She bowed to the Queen and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May you be blessed with good health."
The Queen smiled slightly, "No need to be polite, Noble Lady Qi."
Concubine Qi stood up, a hint of shyness on her face, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
An Lingrong also came to Jingren Palace to pay her respects. She observed Concubine Qi calmly, sneering in her heart.
The Queen ordered people to give him a seat and serve tea and snacks.
The Queen looked at Concubine Qi, a barely perceptible coldness flashed in her eyes, and then she took off a string of red agate beads from her wrist and handed it to Concubine Qi.
"Lady Qi, for your meritorious service in the emperor's bed, I have specially bestowed upon you a string of red agate beads. I hope you will serve the emperor even more wholeheartedly in the future."
Concubine Qi happily accepted the red agate beads, her eyes full of joy, "Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty."
An Lingrong looked at the red agate beads in Concubine Qi's hand and sneered in her heart. These were not red agate at all, but beads soaked in red musk.
The Queen was openly rewarding Concubine Qi, but secretly plotting against her.
Concubine Qi didn't notice it at all, but was complacent instead. She was so stupid.
After paying their respects, An Lingrong strolled in the imperial garden with Concubine Hui and Concubine Jing.
The sunlight shines through the branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows.
The breeze blows by, bringing with it the scent of flowers.
An Lingrong paused, looking at the blossoming peonies, and sighed softly, "No matter how gorgeous the flowers in this palace bloom, they will eventually wither."
Huipin agreed, "Yes, aren't the women in this palace like this too?"
Concubine Jing also sighed, "It's not easy to live peacefully in this deep palace."
An Lingrong glanced at the two of them and spoke in a low voice, "Sisters, it's not easy to conceive and give birth safely in this palace. You must be extra careful and guard against potential harm from villains."
Concubine Hui and Concubine Jing looked at each other and understood the meaning of An Lingrong's words.
Huipin nodded, "Sister Shu Guifei reminded us, we will."
Concubine Jing also echoed, "Don't worry, Concubine Shu, we will definitely pay more attention."
Inside Jingyang Palace, sunlight shines through the carved window lattices, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
An Lingrong leaned on the soft couch, holding the Sixth Prince Hongxi in her arms, humming a lullaby softly.
Hongxi looked around curiously with his big black eyes, and his small hands tightly grasped An Lingrong's clothes.
A burst of hearty laughter was heard, and the emperor lifted the pearl curtain and strode into the hall.
"My beloved, I'm here to see you and Xi'er." The emperor walked over to An Lingrong and sat down, stretching out his hand to tease Hongxi.
Hongxi giggled and stretched out his little hand to grab the emperor's fingers.
The emperor held Hongxi's little hand, feeling the soft touch, and his heart was filled with tenderness.
"Xi'er is growing so fast. In the blink of an eye, he is almost one year old." The emperor sighed.
An Lingrong looked at the emperor and Hongxi tenderly, "Yes, I also feel that time flies."
The emperor held Hongxi in his arms, and the father and son started playing.
Hongxi's little hands groped around the emperor's face, and he laughed crisply from time to time.
An Lingrong looked at this heartwarming scene and a happy smile appeared on her face.
After playing for a while, the emperor suddenly remembered something.
"My beloved concubine, Xier's first birthday will be in a few days." said the emperor.
An Lingrong nodded, "I remember that too."
"There hasn't been a happy event in the palace for a long time. I want to hold a grand one and celebrate it properly." There was a hint of anticipation in the emperor's eyes.
An Lingrong readily agreed, "I also think we should celebrate properly."
"I will give the order right away and ask the Ministry of Rites to make good preparations." The emperor stood up, his eyes full of joy.
A few days later, the sixth prince Hongxi's first birthday banquet was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The hall is decorated with lights and looks magnificent.
Hundreds of palace lanterns illuminated the entire hall as bright as day.
The air was filled with the rich aroma of wine and food.
The sounds of stringed instruments and orchestras were endless, and the melodious music echoed in the hall.
The palace maids, dressed in gorgeous palace costumes, shuttled among the guests, carrying a variety of fine wines and delicacies.
The empress, concubines, princes, princesses and court ministers all dressed in their best to celebrate the Sixth Prince's birthday.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at the lively scene, a satisfied smile on his face.
An Lingrong sat beside the emperor holding Hongxi, accepting everyone's blessings.
Hongxi looked particularly cute in specially made prince clothes and a golden crown on his head.
He looked around curiously, waving his little hands.
The Queen picked up a glass of wine and walked up to An Lingrong.
"Noble Concubine Shu, I offer a toast to you and wish the Sixth Prince good health and longevity." The Queen spoke in a gentle tone with a smile on her face.
An Lingrong took the wine glass and toasted the Queen, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two smiled at each other and drank the wine in their glasses.
The banquet reached its climax and the emperor announced the start of the "Zhuazhou" ceremony.
