Chapter 8. Pampering
"I heard that Shen Guiren is very popular with the emperor!" Cardamom came back from outside to receive the moon shalf, and said the news in the palace recently, "Shen Guiren loves chrysanthemums, and the emperor rewarded her with many precious chrysanthemums, and changed Chang Xitang to Cun Jutang." Cardamom leaned over and whispered to An Lingrong, "Little master, there is an interesting matter. ”
An Lingrong drank the warm medicine, raised his head when he heard the words, and nodded Cardamom's nose with a smile: "Little clever ghost, what did you find out again?" ”
Cardamom grinned and continued to whisper: "A few days ago, the minions of the flower house cultivated a rare green chrysanthemum, and the emperor rewarded Shen Guiren with all of it as soon as he was happy. The slave of the flower room was getting the order, carrying the flowers to the Xianfu Palace, and happened to be seen by Concubine Hua Niangniang in the imperial garden, Song Zhi said, 'Look at the people in the flower room are in a hurry, they must be sent to our Yikun Palace', and they asked people to put it in front of them, but when they heard it, it was not for themselves, haha, and they lost a lot of face. ”
An Lingrong remembered in a trance that there was such an incident in his previous life, but he couldn't remember it clearly, at that time, he was immersed in the anxiety of not yet his turn to sleep, and he didn't care about the things next to him at all, so it sounded novel at this time.
"Speaking of which, the slave also heard some movement that day." Dill stopped what she was doing and said, "Yikun Palace is in a hurry, and in less than half a day, all the chrysanthemums that were originally placed in the palace were moved out, and I heard that Concubine Hua was still shouting in the palace, 'Chrysanthemums must not appear in Yikun Palace in the future', thinking about it, I am afraid that I have already held a grudge against Shen Guiren." ”
An Lingrong put down the medicine bowl and wiped the corners of his mouth: "No wonder in the past few days, Concubine Li has been tired when she comes back, I think it was Concubine Hua who was so angry this time, and it was not easy to coax." ”
Dill put the medicine bowl down.
"How's Wan Changzai's illness?" An Lingrong asked again.
Cardamom is young, round and cute, stuck in the crowd, everyone is willing to say a few words to her, An Lingrong never detains her in the palace, let her run around, but has become a little jack-of-all-trades.
"Last month, Aunt Jianqiu, who was next to the queen's mother, went to see Guan Changzai, and heard that Guan Changzai was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed, and she couldn't take medicine and eat all day long, and everyone was emaciated." Cardamom regretted for a while, "It's a pity that Shen Guiren and Guan Chang are sisters after entering the palace, and now one has been ill for a long time and is difficult to recover, but the other is constantly gracious, which is really embarrassing." ”
An Ling Rongle was happy: "Little girl, what do you know, you are still embarrassed!" ”
When Dill came in, An Lingrong was arguing with Cardamom, and she couldn't help but soften her eyebrows.
He never thought that in the past, he and his sister were trapped in the tiger wolf's den, killing or robbing every day, stepping on other people's corpses and panting in order to survive, and they would have such a relaxing and comfortable time today.
The two sisters were able to meet the little master, and they really accumulated great virtue in their previous lives.
"Little master, among the newcomers right now, except for the young Chun Changzai, only you and Wan Changzai have not yet gone to bed, what is the little master's plan?" Dill sincerely planned for An Lingrong, "The slave knows that the little master is here to avoid favor, but now it ......"
An Lingrong smiled gently, took Dill and Cardamom's hands and said, "I know that both of you are worried about me, thinking that I am always learning everywhere, she is the best among newcomers, and there is always a basis for speaking and doing things." Seeing that the two of them looked confused, An Lingrong was not annoyed, "I know, many people in the palace are saying such things now, but don't worry, it will be my turn to sleep soon." ”
An Lingrong looked out the window, seeing that winter was coming soon, and the time she was waiting for was almost over.
A few days later, Cuiliu beside Concubine Li came over to spread the word and asked An Lingrong to go to Yikun Palace in the afternoon to meet Concubine Hua.
An Lingrong responded to it.
"Little Lord, is now the time you say?" Dill looked at An Lingrong and casually raised her eyebrows, and asked softly.
An Lingrong looked at her through the mirror, with a smile in his eyes, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes: "I am a person from Concubine Li's palace, and I am also a person under Concubine Hua. ”
Dill figured out this, but there was no smile on her face, she only felt distressed: "The little master is really wronged." ”
An Lingrong breathed a long sigh of relief: "Don't be wronged." "Compared to being subject to the queen in the previous life, these are nothing at all.
This is the first time An Lingrong has entered Yikun Palace in this life, as soon as he stepped into the main hall, he was greeted by the smell of Huanyi incense, thinking of the recipe of this incense, An Lingrong couldn't help but hold his breath for a while.
Entering the side hall, the fragrance faded slightly, and An Lingrong gasped for breath in small sips.
"What are you afraid of, it's like this palace is going to eat you." Concubine Hua's voice lazily remembered, she leaned on the concubine's collapse, and it was full of charm, "Zhou Ninghai didn't have a sense of proportion, but it scared you, is your illness cured?" ”
An Lingrong's pupils shrank, he didn't know what to do on his face, and he showed a blank look: "When did Gonggong Zhou scare his concubine?" ”
Looking at An Lingrong's stunned appearance, Concubine Hua squinted her eyes and looked at her for a while before she smiled faintly: "It's nothing, this palace thought that Zhou Ninghai had just taught the little palace maid a little louder outside, which scared my sister." ”
Concubine Li and Cao Guiren laughed on the side, only thinking that An Lingrong was stupid.
After turning the page of Fuzi, I got down to business.
"Niangniang took advantage of Shen Guiren's lateness today to punish her for two months." Concubine Li couldn't hide a smile in her eyes, "She is so arrogant, this time she has fallen." ”
Concubine Hua raised the corners of her mouth and smiled: "This palace looks at her appearance of pretending to be high and having to swallow her anger in front of this palace, and her heart is happy." ”
Concubine Hua was not very happy for a few days, but today she finally smiled and was busy holding the amusement: "Even with Jing Concubine has no face, in the end, it is the person who went out from Niangniang, Niangniang spoke, she didn't dare to refute half a sentence." ”
Concubine Hua rolled her face with the jade wheel, and her smile deepened: "The people around this palace, even if it is a dog, have to listen to this palace for a lifetime, otherwise, don't blame this palace for not giving you a way to live." After that, he looked at An Lingrong, who was speechless, "You are an obedient person, this palace didn't open your mouth to let you sleep, so you stayed honestly until today, your loyalty is already known to this palace." ”
An Lingrong got up and knelt on the ground: "The concubine will rely on Niangniang in the future, so naturally she will listen to Niangniang in everything." In the harem, only the mother is qualified to monopolize grace, and the concubines do not ask for anything else, only to be able to live in the palace. ”
Concubine Hua smiled with satisfaction: "With this palace, you can not only live, but also live well." ”
"Yes." An Lingrong lowered his head.
Concubine Li lazily flicked her armor, not paying much attention.
But Cao Guiren somehow suddenly felt uneasy in her heart, her intuition told her that the woman in front of her was not as weak as she seemed, but hidden fangs and claws, and once she had the opportunity, it was a ruthless move to take people's lives.
Concubine Hua arranged for An Lingrong to sleep tonight, asked her to go back and prepare well, and waved away Concubine Li and Cao Guiren, and went to rest.
On the way back, Concubine Li said to An Lingrong: "You were two months late when you first met Niangniang, and Niangniang didn't blame you. She said, "Fang Cai Songzhi said with the palace, before we went, Niangniang looked at the records of this month's worship room, Shen Guiren and Fucha nobles went to bed more often, which made Niangniang unhappy, as soon as you came, Niangniang smiled, it was really a lucky star." ”
As she spoke, Concubine Li also smiled. She has been coaxing Concubine Hua for the past few days, and she is really coaxing her head.
An Lingrong smiled innocently: "I think it's because the concubine is from a humble background, and the mother thinks it can be funny!" ”
Concubine Li sneered, stretched out her finger and nodded An Lingrong's forehead: "You." ”
An Lingrong smiled and took it, turned his head and wiped the place where Li Concubine had touched without a trace.
She hates everyone who treats her as a thing, but now she has to put her place on the thing to please Concubine Hua and Concubine Li.
However, this is only temporary.
Immediately, something will change.
That night, the emperor really turned over An Lingrong's sign, and when the eunuch came to announce the decree, he said a bunch of nice words happily, and asked the maid to teach her a lot of rules.
At night, the temperature dropped more and more, but the earth dragon was burned in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and it was as warm as spring.
An Lingrong was served by the palace people to take a bath, and her memory recalled her previous life uncontrollably, she was suddenly summoned, and the sudden great joy mixed with the fear under the authority of the Son of Heaven, and the indifference when the emperor lifted the quilt and looked at her at first sight, made her body tremble, so that she was pushed out of the Heart Nourishing Hall as it was, making her a joke in the harem for a while.
At that time, there was also a Yu promise to press her everywhere, obviously just relying on the little palace maid in Meiyuan, and she got favor by impersonating her identity, but she didn't know how to restrain herself, so people compared her, and it seemed that she was inferior everywhere.
It was a dark time.
An Lingrong closed his eyes, unwilling to think about it again.
"Little master, it's okay." Dill's voice sounded low, she reached out to help An Lingrong out of the water, dried her body and hair, and took out An Lingrong's homemade fragrance, patted it on her neck and collarbone, and then the palace people wrapped her in a wide futon.
Seeing An Lingrong being carried into the Heart Cultivation Palace, Dill couldn't help but clench her fists and tense.
"Ann promised to be soft and boneless, the emperor will definitely like it." The maid comforted Dill and said, "You go and wait outside, if you call for water later, you have to go in and serve the little master!" ”
Dill leaned over and thanked Mama Si Xuan.
The dormitory of the Heart Cultivation Hall is familiar with golden eyes, the earth dragon is burned just right, after An Lingrong was carried to the dragon bed and put down, there was only a shallow breathing sound left in the dormitory.
She didn't dare to open her eyes, but the burning gaze forced her to open them.
As soon as she opened her eyes, An Lingrong crashed into the deep black pupils, her heart jumped, she didn't forget to adjust her voice, and shouted timidly: "Your Majesty ......"
As if he couldn't withstand the emperor's gaze, An Lingrong blushed and curled up slightly sideways.
With this movement, she sweated thinly, and the little bit of fragrance slowly emitted its fragrance.
The emperor's eyes deepened, and he leaned over and sniffed at her neck: "You are so fragrant." It was this voice that made him think about it for a long time, and when he listened to it closely, it was more like.
An Lingrong was able to be pampered for so many years in her previous life, naturally she had some means of serving, she knew how to make the emperor happy, how to make the emperor satisfied, but she couldn't give too much, she had to take her time.
The flaming red candlelight reflects the bright yellow drapery, and the youthful shyness and innocent charm are intertwined, kneaded into a thrilling beauty.
The emperor lost his mind.
He asked himself if he was a person who coveted the pleasure of bed, but at the moment it was difficult to suppress it.
When he woke up, the emperor was full of energy after a long absence, looked at An Lingrong, who snuggled up to him at some point, and touched her face with a complicated expression.
An Lingrong blinked tiredly, half-squinted, and whimpered dimly: "Your Majesty, the concubine really can't stand it......"
The emperor's throat rolled: "Sleep, I'll go and see the fold for a while." ”
An Lingrong lay on the emperor in a daze and didn't let him go: "The emperor's bed is too big, the concubine is afraid to sleep alone, don't go." ”
The emperor smiled dumbly.
Before he could speak, An Lingrong muttered again: "The emperor can't sleep, the concubine sings to you, when the concubine was at home before, her mother coaxed the concubine to sleep like this." ”
The emperor had no choice but to be grinded by her, and when he saw that it was still early, he lay back, and he regarded it as a coaxing girl.
"Sleep, grow up, grow up and run away...... Sleep, grow up, grow up, grow up, pull the bow when you grow up......" An Lingrong's voice was glutinous and soft, but the emperor's heart was shocked when he heard it.
