Chapter 34. Rise again

"If Honghui is still there, he must be taller and better looking than the third elder brother." The queen looked at the flickering candlelight, as if she saw her Honghui standing not far away, showing a nostalgic smile, "Honghui can read and write when he is two years old, and the third elder brother is not as good as him at all." She was heartbroken, "It's a pity that since my sister's death, the emperor has not treated the palace as well as before, and the palace is now over forty years old, and I am afraid it will be difficult to have children of his own." ”

Jian Qiu knew that this was the queen's sadness, and hurriedly persuaded: "Niangniang, in fact, before Queen Chunyuan entered the mansion, the emperor treated Niangniang very well. Now, Empress Chunyuan has been dead for many years......"

The queen smiled tearfully and shook her head: "No matter how good the emperor is to the palace, he can't be better than his sister, and so is the queen mother." In the end, it's because the palace is a concubine and my sister is a concubine. If so, Honghui of the palace is still there, he is the eldest son of the emperor, and his identity is so noble! He died in the arms of the palace, and in such a rainy day, no matter how much the palace shouted, he couldn't call God......" She burst into tears and was heartbroken.

Her children are gone, why are other people's children born one after another? Honghui should be buried with her!

"Niangniang......" Jian Qiu choked up and hugged the queen, patted her back to comfort her, but couldn't say a word of comfort.

On the other side, Concubine Hua was so angry that she couldn't wait to kill Xia Dongchun immediately.

"Slut! How dare you delay this palace! Concubine Hua remembered the day she met in the palace, "The palace shouldn't have listened to An Lingrong's words at the beginning, and was merciful and spared her life, if it fell at that time, how could there be today!" That slut, I'm afraid I didn't think about helping this palace in the first place, and I was planning early! ”

This "slut", I don't know if it's Xia Dongchun or An Lingrong who is scolded.

Concubine Hua only felt that she was so angry that her heart hurt a little: "This palace doesn't believe it, this Xia family is favored and pregnant, there will be no An Lingrong's handwriting in this!" ”

When Cao Guiren came in, what he saw was Concubine Hua's angry appearance, and he hurriedly asked someone to hug Wen Yi back, and walked in by himself: "Niangniang is angry." ”

Concubine Hua calmed down a little, looked at Cao Guiren and sneered: "You have a good idea, this palace is doing a show in front of everyone today, but in the end, I didn't get any good luck, the queen and Concubine Qi don't know how to laugh at this palace." Zhen Huan, An Lingrong, Shen Meizhuang, none of you can handle it, now that Xia Changzai is pregnant again, can you tell me, how should this palace calm its anger? ”

The situation is difficult, and it is difficult for Cao Guiren to have a countermeasure for a while, at this time, he heard Zhou Ninghai report that Zhen Yuyin came to ask for medicine.

Concubine Hua snorted impatiently: "What's the matter, it's also coming to the palace to show up." ”

Cao Guiren immediately understood, and let people go down and rub Zhen Yuyin for a while.

Listening to the muffled screams one after another, Concubine Hua's anger was slowly calmed down, and it took more than half an hour before she asked Song Zhi to send the medicine out.

Song Zhi walked outside with the medicine, put the medicine bowl on the floor tile in front of Zhen Yuyin, and saw that half of the bowl was spilled.

Zhen Yuyin's face was as pale as a ghost, and the severe pain that eroded her bones made her worse than death, and when she saw the medicine, she crawled over busily, not caring about any image, she drank violently while lying on her stomach, and waited until the pain faded before she reacted, her behavior was like a stray dog wagging her tail and begging for food, surrounded by a circle of minions, and her face was suddenly pale and embarrassed.

Concubine Hua deliberately humiliated her.

Song Zhi laughed at Zhen Yuyin's embarrassment to Concubine Hua: "Niangniang didn't see it just now, Nabi promised to be like a cat and dog, she was so hungry that she buried her face in the medicine bowl and drank the medicine regardless of it, it was really ugly." ”

Concubine Hua showed a half-smile at this time: "People who offend this palace should end up like this." ”

Cao Guiren sat on the side in a cold sweat.

"An Lingrong's father, this palace remembers that it is Songyang County?" Concubine Hua touched the gorgeous armor, and a fine light flashed in her eyes, "Jiangsu and Zhejiang have always escorted military rations, right?" Songzhi, you ask someone to write a letter to your brother, and next time, let your brother personally order An Lingrong's father to escort the military rations. ”

Song Zhi understood Concubine Hua, and smiled and took the order.

In Xinghua Village, in the summer, winter and spring, she was pregnant and spoiled the emperor in every way, she didn't know An Lingrong's handwriting at all, she just thought that God favored her, so that she got the dragon heir as soon as she went to bed, and gradually showed a little arrogance in the past.

"Your Majesty, the concubines have always felt flustered these days, and the emperor has to accompany the concubines more." Xia, winter and spring pestered the emperor, not reluctantly, "I heard that there is a wind wheel in the Dongguan nobles, which is fragrant and cool, and the concubine's Yicui Hall is very hot, and the emperor also rewards the concubine with a wind wheel!" ”

The emperor frowned quietly: "You are only a month pregnant, where did you get so much hypocrisy, I see that Hui Guiren is pregnant." "However, during this time, Xia Dongchun was favored in the end, and the emperor was not very easy to refute her face, "I changed Ming'er to have someone send it to you, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." ”

Xia Dongchun only heard that the emperor had promised her, and suddenly showed a smile: "Concubine Xie Emperor." ”

A concubine, if she is stupid and coquettish, is indeed a way to be favored. But if you are more stupid than coquettish, you are digging your own grave.

Xia Dongchun was favored, firstly, because the timing of the appearance was good, at that time the emperor was tired of Zhen Yuyin's mouthy and tongue-in-cheek, Xia Dongchun's appearance just diverted the emperor's interest, and secondly, it was also because Xia Dongchun had to be trained by An Lingrong at that time, and she had a proper grasp of proportions when she behaved in front of the emperor, although she was a little stupid, but she was stupid and simple, but the emperor liked it.

And right now, Xia Dongchun has it in his stomach, and he has forgotten An Lingrong's explanation, and he can't hear the meaning of the emperor's words, and he doesn't even know that he made the emperor angry.

"Rong'er, I'm going to have to work hard for you for a while, just wait until I return to the palace." The emperor came out to lean on the Cui Hall and came to An Lingrong's Fanying Palace, "She is hypocritical, you have to bear with it more, if you are wronged, just come and talk to me." ”

An Lingrong smiled softly: "Xia Chang is making friends with the concubine, and she is pregnant with the emperor's child, so the concubine will not care about her." The emperor trusts his concubines, and the concubines should do their best. She looked at the emperor steadily, suddenly raised her hand and landed between the emperor's eyebrows, and said in a soft tone, "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't like the way you frown, if you have any troubles, the concubine is willing to share the emperor's worries." Looking at the emperor like this every day, the concubines felt a lot of pain in their hearts. ”

The emperor was slightly stunned, raised his hand and wrapped An Lingrong's hand into the palm of his hand, and ironed in his heart: "My Rong'er is the most intimate." He paused, then said, "Concubine Hua, I can't snub her anymore. When Concubine Hua's brother Nian Qianyao was serving his life, in order to calm the army's morale and stabilize the court, I had to forgive Concubine Hua. He knew that Concubine Hua couldn't tolerate An Lingrong, so he talked to her more, "You also know Concubine Hua's temperament, and in the future, you will have to suffer some grievances." ”

An Lingrong was pulled by the emperor to sit down on the couch, and when he heard the words, he said: "The concubine is not wronged. She winked at the emperor, "The concubine avoids Concubine Hua Niangniang, just don't see her." ”

"Little Clever Ghost." The emperor raised his hand and scratched her nose.

An Lingrong leaned into the emperor's arms and said softly: "As long as the emperor always remembers the concubines, the concubines will not be wronged." For the sake of the emperor, the concubines can endure anything or anything. She raised her eyes and looked at the emperor seriously.

For the first time, the emperor felt that she had a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, her pupils were translucent and black, like high-grade obsidian, although she was not as beautiful and affectionate as Zhen Huan, but she had a gentle and delicate beauty. Listening to her tickling tone, my heart suddenly sank: "I will never forget Rong'er." ”

An Lingrong buried his head in hugging the emperor and hid the emotions surging in his eyes.

After the afternoon, the emperor went back to the imperial study to summon the minister, An Lingrong got up and went to Xianyue Pavilion, Zhen Huan was talking to Shen Meizhuang about Concubine Hua's return to favor: "Actually, my sister knows in her heart that Concubine Hua's resurgence is expected, but it is only sooner or later." ”

"I'm afraid that this day will be sad again." Shen Meizhuang frowned and looked at Zhen Huan, and when he saw An Lingrong coming in, he hurriedly beckoned her to come over, "Rong'er, you're here." Is Xia Changzai's body better? ”

"She's just hypocritical, and her morning sickness is a little serious, so she pestered the emperor to make a fuss, but nothing else." An Lingrong said with a light smile, "It's you, sister, how can you be so angry?" Isn't Concubine Hua's return to favor something we expected early on? Why bother with your body? ”

"What Sister Rong said is that the most important thing at the moment is the one in my sister's belly, let's leave it alone for the time being." Zhen Huan helped Shen Meizhuang sit down, touched her belly with a smile, and comforted her, "So sister, don't be angry, it's important to have a good baby." ”

"He's only over two months old, and I don't know if he's a man or a woman." Shen Meizhuang slowed down his tone.

Zhen Huan hurriedly said: "Both men and women are good, they are our sweethearts." While coaxing, he helped Shen Meizhuang to sit down.

An Lingrong sat on the side and smiled, looked at Shen Meizhuang's stomach with a complicated expression, and then said, "Today's matter, the queen is afraid that she has more headaches than us." Concubine Hua is back in favor, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be given the right to associate the six palaces again, once Concubine Hua re-assists the six palaces, the queen's life will not be as good as it is now. ”

"Yes, the queen is not in a hurry, what are we anxious about." Zhen Huan nodded and said.

"You two have a point, too." Shen Meizhuang put aside the matter for the time being, and then talked about today's dancing of the Amazing Dance, "When I watched you dance today, it worried me badly, I knew that you could dance, but I didn't know that it was my fault whether to dance or not." If you had shown your hand earlier, they would not have used it to calculate against you. ”

"Fortunately, Sister Guan didn't show her hand, otherwise they would know what we would and wouldn't do, wouldn't it be better to calculate." An Lingrong said, "Sister Guan captured the emperor's sacred heart with a dance today, which was beyond their expectations, and it gave the emperor a surprise. ”

Zhen Huan pursed her lips and chuckled.

Xiao Xiazi suddenly came in to announce the decree, saying that the emperor invited Zhen Huan to go to the Qinzheng Palace to taste poetry, and Zhen Huan immediately got up.

An Lingrong glanced at Shen Meizhuang's stomach, hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister Mei, have you been feeling unwell lately?" At the end, he added, "I see that Xia Chang is pregnant, and she vomits again and again, or she is lazy and unwilling to move, but everything is fine when you see my sister." ”

"I thought so too, except for the occasional retching in the morning, I didn't feel anything uncomfortable, and I even wondered if I was really pregnant." Shen Meizhuang didn't mean to say it, but he never thought that he actually told the truth, "I think it's because the nostalgia is different, I'm a caring child." ”

Seeing Shen Meizhuang touching his stomach with a happy face, An Lingrong couldn't say anything, and only said something to her.

At night, the news of Concubine Hua's sleeping spread all over the palaces.

"The emperor still feels sorry for his mother, even if Xia Changzai is pregnant, he still has to rush to see his mother." Song Zhi happily dressed up Concubine Hua, and her mouth was like smearing honey, "The slave maid is really good, today in Qingyan in Kyushu, the emperor's eyes are full of mothers!" ”

"It's sweet in your mouth." Concubine Hua glanced at her coquettishly, she was in a very good mood, and she couldn't see the appearance of being crazy with anger in the afternoon.

"It's rare to say, even Prince Dun came to intercede for his mother today." Song Zhi picked up the nice one and said, "He has always been arrogant, and he doesn't even care about the emperor." ”

Concubine Hua seemed to have completely forgotten the things in the daytime, and said: "Prince Dun has the capital to be arrogant, his biological mother Concubine Wen is the sister of Empress Xiao Zhaoren, and now the Queen Mother was the school secretary of Empress Xiao Zhaoren. Seeing the emperor ascend the throne, how could he swallow this breath. ”

"Then he is still willing to help the mother?" Song Zhi was a little strange.

Concubine Hua chuckled: "Where is he helping the palace, he is just pushing the boat down the river to sell the favor of the brother of the palace." When the first emperor was there, Prince Dun worked with his brother and the fourteenth master, and dealt with Qinghai affairs together, which can be regarded as a bit of friendship. ”

Concubine Hua was talking in the Qingliang Palace, but she didn't know that the emperor was standing outside the hall at the moment, and she heard it all without landing a word.

Su Peisheng stood aside, carefully looking at the emperor's expression, and even his breathing was lightened, for fear that the emperor would have a seizure in the next moment, and Concubine Hua was still talking about what color of bedclothes to wear today, but there was a heavy air outside.

"Tell Concubine Hua that I will come back later." The emperor's face was cold, and his whole body exuded coldness, and he turned his head silently and left, "You don't have to tell her that I came in advance." ”

Su Peisheng mourned for Concubine Hua for a moment in his heart, and nodded yes.
