He couldn't help but reach out and hold An Lingrong's hand hard, which immediately woke her up.

An Lingrong looked at the emperor blankly, seemed to have just reacted, and immediately confessed: "The emperor forgives the sin, it is the concubine who has exceeded the rules." ”

The emperor choked slightly, patted her shoulder, and took her into his arms: "No, you sing very well, and it makes people's hearts warm when you hear it." Keep singing to me, I want to sleep a little longer. ”

A light flashed in An Lingrong's eyes, and he continued to sing softly.

The soft whisper was wafting between the bright yellow curtains, and the emperor fell asleep.

Su Peisheng, who was guarding outside, showed a happy smile after being surprised, and secretly said that this An promised a lot, and he was able to coax the emperor to sleep, thinking that he would be polite to her in the future.

The next day, when the sky was bright, the emperor slowly opened his eyes, and was stunned for a while before he reacted and asked Su Peisheng what time it was.

Su Peisheng smiled so much that his face was full of wrinkles: "The emperor has a good sleep today, and there is still a quarter of an hour to go to the court, just in time." ”

The emperor was slightly stunned, it seemed that he hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time, so he got up lightly and explained to Su Peisheng: "An Chang was tired last night, let her fall asleep." When you wake up, you can ask someone to carry a sedan chair over and send her back. After thinking about it, he raised his hand and put it down, "She is now in Concubine Hua's hands, wait a little longer." ”

Su Peisheng couldn't hear what the emperor meant, he still wanted to give An an answer again...... An Changzai is rewarding, but he is afraid that Concubine Hua will be jealous, so he can only give up, it seems that this An Changzai has taken a share of the emperor's place.

Su Peisheng hurriedly instructed his apprentice Xiao Xiazi to prepare a sedan chair.

The news that An Ling Rongfu was promoted to the seal as soon as he slept spread all over the Sixth Palace in an instant, and the limelight almost overshadowed Shen Meizhuang for a while.

But after the winter, a cold wind made An Lingrong withdraw from the competition stage of grace, and he lingered on the sickbed for nearly half a month.

When the emperor heard that she was sick, he went to see her in person and told her to rest well, and stayed in the palace of Li Concubine that night.

An Lingrong poured out the medicine sent by the Tai Hospital, drank the tonic made by cardamom, drank a spoonful, poured a spoonful, and provoked Cardamom to cry out for distressed medicinal herbs.

An Lingrong Zhile: "Dill, look at her stingy appearance." ”

Dill was helpless: "The little master is still making trouble, it's not easy to get favored, how can you say don't want it, the slave and maid look at the emperor's energy, and the little master can be affectionate." ”

An Lingrong shook his head: "If you don't retreat, Concubine Hua will have to look at me unpleasantly." Now that I rely on her for protection, I naturally can't touch her moldy head too much, not to mention, seeing that it is about to come to an end, the more times like this, the easier it is to start a war, and then it will be the time when Concubine Hua is the only favorite, and I will not be able to steal the limelight. An Lingrong lowered his eyes and calculated, "What's the matter, we have to wait until the beginning of spring." ”

"Slave maid, I heard that in the past few days, Shen Guiren and Fucha Guiren have been very favored!" Dill was a little anxious, "Isn't the little lord afraid that the emperor will forget you?" ”

Forget?

He couldn't forget.

An Lingrong hooked the corners of his mouth and stopped talking.

Seeing the cold scene, Cardamom hurriedly smiled and said interesting anecdotes: "A few days ago, there were a few new fathers-in-law around Concubine Li, and Sister Cuiliu told me that she was always by her side, and she begged to go to Concubine Li's side to serve, and if there was anything, just instruct them to do it." ”

When An Lingrong heard Zhen Huan's name at first glance, it took a while before he suddenly remembered that Zhen Huan had indeed taken care of the people around him at this time.

It gave her a wake-up call.

An Lingrong thought about it, except for dill and cardamom, she had never understood the remaining four.

"Cardamom, you go and help me inquire about Mo'er Qin'er, Xiao Liuzi and Xiao Shizi, what is the relationship background inside and outside the palace." An Lingrong explained cardamom and said.

Cardamom nodded and made a note of it.

As for the cooking, there is no hurry.

An Lingrong continued to pretend to be sick on the bed, squinting his eyes and falling asleep for a while.

The weather is getting colder and colder.

It's Chinese New Year's Eve.

An Lingrong stood under the porch with his cloak on, looking at the snowfall in the sky, with a lot of thoughts.

Time flies so fast, it's been more than two months since I entered the palace in the blink of an eye, and this life doesn't seem to be so difficult. I don't know if my mother is okay at home, and if my father has made arrangements as she said...... Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and she is really homesick.

An Lingrong blinked, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and turned back to the house.

The people in the palace have all gone to the night banquet of the palace tonight, and they can hear the needles in the Qixiang Palace. Dill and cardamom ordered dinner and ate it with Mo'er Qin'er, Xiao Liuzi and Xiaoshizi.

"The little lord has been sick for these days, and you have been wronged." Dill took out four bags of silver and stuffed them into the hands of the four people one by one, "Your difficulties, the little master knows, these are the New Year's money given by the little master, so take them." ”

The four of them looked at each other, and it was not possible to take the silver, nor did they take it.

"The little lord knows that the master behind you is actually Concubine Li, and he doesn't really take the little master as the master on weekdays, and the little master doesn't pursue you." Seeing that they were about to kneel, Dill hurriedly grabbed Cardamom and continued, "But in the end, you are serving the little master, and you always work weekdays, although the little master doesn't say it, but he keeps it in his heart. Mo'er, you still have two younger brothers at home who want to go to school, and you have a lot of money to spend. Qin'er, you plan to leave the palace when you are twenty-five, and you have to save your own money. Little Liuzi, your mother is still waiting to see a doctor and take medicine, don't shirk. Xiaoshizi, you are the most greedy, and you can buy some of your favorite food for the New Year. ”

After saying this, the four of them burst into tears, and finally fell to Xiaoshizi, and everyone laughed in unison.

"The little master treats our subordinates so kindly, and the slaves and maids are grateful." Mo'er said movingly, "Although the slave maid used to be by Concubine Li's side, since she came to serve the little master, she is the little master's person, and she will never dare to have two hearts." ”

The other three were also loyal.

The next day, An Lingrong listened to the dill return and nodded. I don't expect to be very loyal, at least don't turn your elbows outward.

"I heard the good news from the northwest, General Nian quelled the rebellion of Luobzang Danjin, and when the palace had a night banquet, the emperor praised Concubine Hua Niangniang." Dill groomed An Lingrong and said in a low voice, "Also, last night, Xia Chang lost his honor in front of the palace and was punished by the emperor for being grounded. ”

An Lingrong suddenly remembered this person: "What's wrong with her?" ”

"She ......" Dill hesitated, her face was a little strange, "she was drunk, and she wanted to make love to the emperor with the strength of wine, but she tripped on her left foot and fell on her right foot." ”

An Lingrong was also speechless for a while, thinking about that scene, he couldn't help laughing.

"The emperor was so angry that he left the banquet alone." Dill also smiled, "Xia Chang is embarrassed to throw it at the door of his house this time." ”

An Lingrong got up and looked at the weather, thought about it, asked Dill to prepare three gifts, and took her and Cardamom out together.

first went to the Chengxi Hall of Concubine Li, and said some auspicious words for the New Year.

Then he went to Yikun Palace and gave Concubine Hua a dignified gift.

"You know the rules best, get up." Concubine Hua looked at An Lingrong, and really liked her more and more, "The Xia family made a big joke last night, but you weren't there, it's a pity." ”

Looking at Concubine Hua's smile that she couldn't hide, An Lingrong lowered her head and smiled: "I can make Niangniang laugh once, Xia Changzai's jokes are not a loss." ”

"Hongu just likes to listen to you." Concubine Hua remembered the queen's extremely difficult face last night, and she felt happy. After receiving An Lingrong's gift, Concubine Hua was in a good mood, waved her and rewarded her a lot, and asked her to take it back.

An Lingrong finally went to see Cao Guiren.

"It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, why did my sister come in person? It scared my sister. Cao Guiren warmly welcomed An Lingrong in, "I heard that my sister has been sick for a long time, and it is freezing outside, what if the illness gets worse." ”

"Lingrong hasn't come to visit my sister since she entered the palace, and I'm really ashamed, so I came to see her today." An Lingrong smiled softly, "What's more, Lingrong liked Princess Wenyi last time she saw her, and today I specially brought her a small gift." ”

"Oh, what a cute little tiger." Cao Guiren took the puppet handed over by An Lingrong and admired it, "This thread is tightly sealed, just for Wen Yi to grind his teeth." On the one hand, let Wen Yi be taken out.

Wen Yi had just finished breastfeeding and was held in the arms of the nursing mother.

An Lingrong looked at Wen Yi, his eyes were soft, and he looked at the ground: "Princess, it seems that something is wrong." ”

Cao Guiren suddenly hugged Princess Wen Yi nervously, looked around carefully, and didn't see anything wrong.

But An Lingrong frowned, reached out and slapped Princess Wen Yi twice on the back.

"Wow!" Princess Wen Yi suddenly spit out the mouthful of milk that was blocked in her throat, and opened her mouth to cry.

Cao Guiren's face turned pale suddenly, and he scolded the nurse, not caring about the milk stains on his body, and hurriedly asked people to ask the imperial doctor: "Fortunately, sister today, I will come to the door another day to thank you." ”

An Lingrong saw that she was flustered, and she didn't bother anymore, and left Yikun Palace after greeting her.

"Little master, shall we go back?" Dill held the things that Concubine Hua had given her and asked.

An Lingrong sighed: "You go back first, I'll walk around." ”

Dill responded, leaving only cardamom by An Lingrong's side.

An Ling Rongyuan was also going to hang out, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone is nested in the palace, rarely go out, walk around a little boring, is about to go home, but at the corner saw Song Zhi embarrassed a palace maid.

The palace maid was still wearing the old palace clothes that had been eliminated in the palace a few years ago, and she was also a slave, but she knelt in front of Song Zhi, with an overturned food box in her hand, and the soup and water in it were spilled all over the ground.

"Ouch, I was careless, I accidentally knocked over Concubine Duan's lunch, this is all my apology, don't dislike Sister Jixiang." Song Zhi put the food box in his hand heavily in front of Ji Xiang, and smiled coquettishly and harmlessly, "I just don't know if this slave maid is used to eating Duanfei Niangniang, ah, I forgot, Duanfei Niangniang hasn't eaten for three days, and I'm afraid that I can eat it at this time." ”

Jixiang's whole body trembled, but she had no choice but to tremble and reach out to pick up the food box given by Songzhi, and she had to thank her: "Thank you Miss Songzhi for rewarding." ”

Song Zhi left with his toes in high spirits, leaving only Ji Xiang to wipe his tears on the spot.

"Don't cry."

Ji Xiang hurriedly wiped away his tears, looked up, and saw a concubine standing in front of him, with a delicate little face white and tender surrounded in the middle of a circle of fur collars, and a slender body wrapped in a big wind hair cloak, although her appearance was not outstanding, but she stood there, but people couldn't help but let down their guard.

An Lingrong motioned Cardamom to help her up, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears: "It's unlucky to shed tears during the New Year, and Concubine Duan's mother will be more worried when she sees it." ”

Ji Xiang hurriedly thanked: "The slave and maid thank the little master for caring, I don't know ......"

"The little master of my family is An Chang of Qixiang Palace." Cardamom self-report portal.

auspicious and busy saluting.

"It's still early, Yanqing Hall is on the edge of Qixiang Palace, I'll go and visit your mother." An Lingrong glanced at the Yanqing Hall not far away.

Jixiang's face was happy, but Cardamom showed a touch of embarrassment: "Little master, Concubine Hua has always been unable to tolerate Concubine Duan, if Concubine Hua knows about it, I'm afraid it will not be good for the little master." ”

After saying a few words, Jixiang understood that An Lingrong was Concubine Hua's person, and suddenly looked at An Lingrong's eyes with three points of jealousy.

"It's okay, Concubine Hua won't go out today, and Songzhi has also had a seizure, and she won't come back in a short time." An Lingrong didn't care at all, but instead instructed Cardamom, "You go back, let Dill go to the dining room to ask for another fresh meal, you quietly bring it over, and by the way, bring your usual silver needle." ”

An Lingrong spoke, and Cardamom left behind Concubine Hua no longer in mind, and hurriedly took the order.

Here, Jixiang cautiously took An Lingrong to Yanqing Palace.

This palace is remote and deserted, and it is also adjacent to the Yuhua Pavilion, which is the place where the concubines in the palace died of illness or died in an accident to worship the remains, most of the people in the palace dislike and are unlucky, and few come here, so they are overgrown with weeds and full of desolation.

An Lingrong had never set foot in Concubine Duan's residence in his previous life, and when he saw it now, he was only surprised that there was such a place to live in the Heart Dao Palace.

"Auspicious."

Concubine Duan's angry voice came from the dormitory, auspicious answered, and An Lingrong also walked in.

Concubine Qi Yuebin, like Concubine Hua, went out with the generals, but she was raised in the palace since she was a child, and she was destined to be a concubine as soon as she was born.

Thinking of this, An Lingrong inexplicably felt a sense of sympathy with Concubine Duan.

She is the same, she has always been treated as an object and a chess piece, even if she is born noble, she still can't help herself.
