Chapter 17. choose

An Lingrong and Cao Guiren walked to the gate of Jingren Palace together, and saw Concubine Li coming out of it.

"Yo, why did Rong Chang come out and walk around today?" Concubine Li looked at An Lingrong and said in a hanging voice, "The queen is unwell, so she said that there is no need to ask for peace, and you two don't have to go in." ”

Cao Guiren nodded, and was about to go with Concubine Li, but heard Concubine Li say again: "This palace and Rong Chang have not been seen for a long time, and this palace is planning to go to Yikun Palace at this time, why don't you go to Concubine Hua to sit together?" ”

An Lingrong took two steps back quietly, and said softly: "The queen mother is sympathetic and saves me from waiting to ask for peace, but the concubine admires the queen mother in her heart, so she naturally wants to ask the mother for peace, even if she kowtows far away outside the palace." Yikun Palace, the concubine will not go, thank you for the kindness of Concubine Li. ”

After saying that, Concubine Li and Cao Guiren's faces changed.

After a stalemate for a long time, Cao Guiren came out with a dry smile and played a round: "My sister is right, the queen mother is the lord of the six palaces, and naturally everyone admires her." ”

An Lingrong lowered his head, bowed to Concubine Li and said goodbye, turned around and walked into the main hall of Jingren Palace.

Concubine Li stood at the door, glared at her back, snorted vigorously, and walked away without looking back.

This is a step that An Lingrong has taken cautiously after thinking about it for so many days.

In the long run, Concubine Hua and the queen are not objects that can be relied on, but in the near future, temporarily joining the queen's camp can first borrow hands to pull out Concubine Hua's power, so that there will be more room to play in the future.

An Lingrong raised his eyes and looked at the plaque above Jingren Palace, his gaze firm.

According to the layout of her previous life, Zhen Huan was also co-opted by the queen in the early stage, which became a big help to bring down Concubine Hua. But at that time, she was just a sharp blade in the hands of the queen, and the real draw of the sword out of the sheath was after she returned to the palace from Ganlu Temple. Zhen Huan is too smart, and when her edge is revealed, everyone is counted by her, such a person, An Lingrong can only do her best to become the person who stands side by side with her, and cannot delusionally take her under her command.

Zhen Huan is destined to soar above the nine heavens.

And she just wants to live well.

"Little Lord Rong, the queen invites you in." Jian Qiu came to invite An Lingrong in a soft voice, and said with a smile, "Niangniang was not very comfortable today, and she was preparing to rest after seeing the nobles of Guan, and when she heard that the little master was coming, she was overjoyed, and said that she had to get up to meet the little master." She smiled brightly, and said as if An Lingrong was extremely important in the queen's heart.

An Lingrong followed her words and flattered: "The concubine has not visited the queen mother alone since she entered the palace, first, because the concubine is intermittently ill, and she is afraid that she will be sick to the queen mother, and secondly, she will ......" She hesitated, showing a little embarrassment on her face, "I think the queen mother also knows, before, the concubine was held in the hand of the queen concubine, she always did not allow the concubine to come to see the queen mother, and the concubine really had the heart to come." ”

"The little lord has really suffered." Jian Qiu looked at An Lingrong sympathetically, comforting her while secretly raising the queen, "The queen is benevolent, in charge of a huge harem, doing her best and taking care of everything, but the mother is not in good health, and there will always be times when she can't take care of it." It is not too late for the little master to be able to see the situation clearly. ”

"Exactly." An Lingrong said with a smile, with a touch of innocence on his face, "The concubine always thinks that the queen mother is the pillar of the six palaces, no matter how noble Concubine Hua is, she will always live below the mother." The father of the concubine is also a group of wives and concubines, but there is one thing, the concubine knows," she crossed Jian Qiu and looked at the inner hall, "the main wife, there will always be only one, and the rest can only be concubines." ”

She was so polite to Jianqiu, naturally she didn't look at Jianqiu's face, but cared about the queen inside, every sentence seemed to be said to Jianqiu, in fact, she was talking to the queen.

In her previous life, An Lingrong had been cautious in the hands of the queen for so many years, and she had already figured out the queen's preferences, and naturally knew what she liked to hear and what she didn't like to hear.

Sure enough, when the words landed, the queen's laughter came out of it, and she slowly paced out holding Huichun's hand, the corners of her mouth curled, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were stretched.

An Lingrong knew that this was the queen's performance when she was in a very good mood.

She knelt down weakly: "The concubine sees the queen's mother, and the mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"Get up." The queen sat on the first seat and raised her hand to give the seat, "This palace has just met the nobles of Guan, and you are here with your front and back feet, and you are really living in Broken Yuxuan, so you have such a heart." She looked at An Lingrong with satisfaction, her eyes showing a bit of relief, "The palace noticed you when I met the palace, Xia didn't learn the etiquette properly, if you hadn't taken the hand, she would have made a big joke that day." That's when Hongu knew that you were a kind-hearted child. ”

An Lingrong was shocked, but he didn't expect the queen to even notice this. After thinking about it, his eyes glanced at Huichun standing under the cut autumn, and suddenly understood.

As the queen's right-hand man, Jianqiu is the most powerful one, and Huichun is like the shadow of Jianqiu, which has never been very eye-catching, but always helps the queen keep an eye on everything in the dark, and her mind is still delicate on Jianqiu. I'm afraid that it was the events of that day, but she noticed it, and then reported it to the queen.

Thinking like this, An Lingrong replied with a shallow smile: "Niangniang pay attention to everything, the concubines worship and obey, I heard that Xia promised to study the palace rules hard recently, which really bothered the queen's mother." If this matter is someone else, where is the effort to take this effort, in the end, the queen mother takes care of the overall situation. "Although there is no name, those who understand it will understand.

"They all say that you speak well, and when I heard it today, I really liked it." The queen's smile deepened, but she also had the intention of provoking, "Now that you and the nobles of Guan are living in Shayuxuan, she has just accepted her favor, the emperor will inevitably like her more, and you don't want to go to your heart." The important thing is to quickly adjust your body, this palace looks at you and is still weak. Then he looked at Jian Qiu again, "You go to the warehouse to pick up some warm medicinal herbs, and let Rong Changzai take them back." ”

Jian Qiu leaned over and should be.

"The mother is worried about everything, but it makes the concubine ashamed." An Lingrong lowered his eyes, if it was a previous life, I am afraid that his heart would have been uncomfortable at this time.

"If you are free in the future, you will come to Jingren Palace to sit and sit, there are not so many rules in this palace, and there will be no people standing under the corridor with a basin of water in the winter, and my sister just comes to eat tea, and there is no need to be restrained." The queen smiled meaningfully.

An Lingrong smiled slightly: "Yes." ”

After a few rounds of official talk, the goal was achieved, and An Lingrong left Jingren Palace with dill.

"Niangniang, Rong Changzai used to be Concubine Hua's person in the end." Jian Qiu was a little worried, and said while serving tea to the queen.

The queen raised the corners of her mouth and smiled disdainfully: "With Concubine Hua's character, Cao Guiren and Concubine Li can stay by her side, Rong Chang was kicked out by her when such a dough-like person was favored, what kind of climate can she have." She breathed a long sigh of relief, "In this palace, it seems that Concubine Hua is in a high position, but in the final analysis, this palace is the queen, she?" It's just a concubine. Rong Changzai can see clearly, and naturally knows what it means to choose a good bird to perch on. ”

Jianqiu nodded.

On the other side, Concubine Hua learned that An Lingrong had taken refuge with the queen, and she was so angry that she smashed the teacup in her hand.

"This palace has never seen such an ignorant goods!" Concubine Hua's eyes were full of anger, and she felt that she was pressed by the queen because of An Lingrong, and she was in a bad mood because Zhen Huan was too favored, so she directly counted these two people together, "Let's see, these two of Broken Yuxuan, see which one of them can be spared by this palace!" ”

Cao Guiren was worried in her heart, in order to protect herself, she had to face Concubine Hua, even though she knew that as long as An Lingrong was given time, over time, she would definitely be able to grow into an unshakable existence of Concubine Hua, but in front of her, she was like an egg hitting a stone to Concubine Hua, and she was completely vulnerable.

Concubine Li was still helping on the side: "Niangniang, there is also a Shen Guiren, she and Zhen Huan are very good, maybe these three people have already hugged each other behind their backs." Speaking of Zhen Huan, she was indignant, "As soon as I became a nobleman, I clearly had the idea of beating the people in my palace, and I won't be sure what it will look like in the future!" ”

Concubine Hua lost her temper, and then calmed down a little: "I can't control my subordinates, and I can't complain about others." She forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and tried to adjust her appearance, "This palace looks at your anxious temper, when can you change it, you have to be a little quiet of Cao Guiren." ”

Cao Guiren listened, and reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth, she avoided Concubine Hua's gaze by looking down at Wen Yi.

Concubine Li didn't hear Concubine Hua's words, turned her head to look at Cao Guiren, turned around and sat down: "Concubine can't rub sand in her eyes." ”

Concubine Hua slowly got up and walked to Cao Guiren's side, raised her hand to caress Wen Yi's face, and the look in her eyes was inexplicably cruel: "The emperor favors her, she will inevitably lose her sense of proportion, and if she loses her sense of proportion, the queen will not like it." After that, as if to prove that his words were credible, he added, "Yu is an example." ”

"The nobleman of Guan is still timid, she is afraid of her sister and lets her sister!" Cao Guiren said busily.

Concubine Hua smiled faintly and said deliberately: "She didn't lose her temper, you are so angry, you have lost your proportion!" Looking at Concubine Li's ugly face, she suddenly felt better, "Isn't it just a favor?" ”

Who knew that just like that, Concubine Li was lit up: "Just accepted the favor?" The emperor even gave the favor of the pepper room, isn't this an example compared to the mother? ”

Concubine Hua immediately put away her smile.

Concubine Li didn't notice it at all, and continued to say to herself: "The emperor has been diligent in going to the harem this month, but eight times out of ten he has been accompanied by Guan nobles, even if he is just sitting and talking, the emperor is willing to find her......"

If you can't speak, don't speak.

Cao Guiren looked at Concubine Hua's ugly face that could drip ink, and scolded Concubine Li hatefully in her heart, in the end, it was not her to end the scene, she to coax, and she didn't add trouble to her.

"Do you become dumb if you don't speak?" Concubine Hua was really angry, her eyes were cold, and she was even more terrifying than the emotions she had just exposed.

Concubine Li shrank at Concubine Shanghua's eyes and closed her mouth.

Cao Guiren sighed and had to speak: "Don't be angry, Niangniang. As the saying goes, a good dog bites, and a dog that bites doesn't bark. She turned Concubine Hua's attention to herself, saying that she was the dog that would bite under her, and Concubine Li was just talking about it, and she didn't have to be angry with her.

First, it is to calm Concubine Hua's anger, and second, Cao Guiren is also making a stand.

An Lingrong came out, Concubine Hua must be more harsh on her Cao Guiren and Li Concubine, Cao Guiren was the first to flatter, indicating that she was still her "dog", so as to win leniency.

Cao Guiren endured the embarrassment in his heart and looked down at Wen Yi.

For the sake of Wenyi, even if she is a dog at Concubine Hua's feet, it doesn't matter.

Of course, Cao Guiren is also reminding Concubine Hua that instead of scolding Concubine Li here, it is better to think about how to break the small group of three people, An Lingrong, Zhen Huan, and Shen Meizhuang, all of them seem to be gentle and polite, but in fact, they are all dogs that "don't bark", that is what Concubine Hua should be concerned about now.

Concubine Hua pondered, and her expression changed several times.

Let's talk about the pet of the pepper room.

Zhen Huan had already returned to the palace at this moment, overjoyed at the new broken jade xuan, slowly walked into the main hall, looked at the red satin all over the palace, with tears in her eyes, and was carried by everyone to the bed, opened the quilt, revealing the early birth of the noble son underneath, and her eyes were red with emotion: "The emperor actually took my words to heart like this." ”

It's a thanksgiving.

Liu Zhu was so happy on the side that he spoke incoherently: "Great, little master, now the lord and the lady can finally rest assured." ”

Huanbi also followed and said: "According to the current situation, the emperor takes the little master very seriously!" After suffering for more than half a year, we should rest assured, but ......" she paused, "The little lord must be on guard against being there, she is not a safe person, but don't let her meet the emperor with the grace of the little lord." ”

Zhen Huan's eyes were stunned, and when she looked at Huanbi, she was a little dissatisfied: "Huanbi, Sister Rong is a concubine, there is nothing wrong with her asking for the emperor's favor, don't say this in the future." ”

Huanbi choked, as if Zhen Huan had seen through her thoughts, her eyes glanced at her weakly, and then explained: "The slave is afraid that the little master will be used as a springboard by others." ”

"When it is not a springboard, I know it best." Zhen Huan threw down the precocious noble son in her hand, looked at everything around her, and somehow, the heat in her heart was extinguished inch by inch.
