Chapter 102. Mandarin Duck

The queen said another thing: "This year for various reasons did not open the draft, this time to expose the guilt of Nian Qianyao a lot of heroes, the meaning of the palace is to select new people from these heroes to enter the palace, the emperor has been crowned the Imperial Court of the Imperial History Guerjia Emin daughter Guerjia Wenyuan as a nobleman, given the title of Qi, will soon enter the palace, then the sisters will get along with her well." ”

Hearing this name again, An Lingrong's heart had no fluctuations. Guarjia Wenyuan is a brainless embroidered pillow, there is no need to be afraid at all, thinking that he in the previous life would be assassinated by such a person, I really feel unlucky.

"The Guerjia clan is the Manchurian army XHQ, there are not many military flags in the palace, after entering the palace, he must be close to the queen's mother, and the emperor has a heart." Concubine Duan opened her mouth and smiled slowly.

The queen also smiled: "Concubine Duan is rarely in better shape today." However, when it comes to heroes, Guan Concubine's father should be in the first place, and the emperor has decreed that your father will be promoted to be the secretary of the Ministry of Officials. She turned her head to look at Zhen Huan, "The emperor also specially allowed the daughter of the Zhen family to enter the palace tomorrow, you go back and prepare well." ”

Zhen Huan got up and thanked her.

After some more gossip, the queen made everyone kneel down.

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan walked side by side, looking at Cao Qinmo, who was holding the hand of the sound sleeve and gasping away step by step, both of them sneered silently.

"She won't live long." Zhen Huan walked slowly and said softly, "Imperial Physician Wen quietly told me that the emperor and the queen mother couldn't tolerate concubines, so she asked the people around her to give her medicine, saying that she often had nightmares after taking the medicine. In addition, Nian Shilan's deposition was denounced by her, and now that Nian Shilan is dead again, everyone will think that the concubine died of heart disease due to guilt. She sighed deeply and said, "The Queen Mother warned the hospital not to do much beforehand, and they could only pretend to be deaf and dumb." ”

"Cao Qinmo has a lot of scheming, no matter how deep this scheming is, it can't be as deep as the emperor and the queen mother." An Lingrong walked through a threshold, his eyes were indifferent, "Concubine Xiang can betray Concubine Hua for her own strength, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not betray others in the future, and I want to come to the emperor and the queen mother out of such concerns." ”

Zhen Huan nodded, and then said with a sad expression: "Nian Shilan died tragically, she didn't die of illness, but died of a headlong collision." I went to Yikun Palace this morning to take a look at her, she was crazy with Huan Yixiang sprinkled everywhere, crying and laughing, and said that she couldn't help me, she didn't really mean to harm my child, it was the emperor's fault, because she was guarding against her, and so on. Confusion crossed her eyes, "She said it backwards and backwards, and I didn't understand much, but I thought she was pitiful." ”

An Lingrong couldn't bear to close his eyes.

Nian Shilan's funeral was completed in a hurry, and the emperor did not mention it except for the day when he went to Baohua Hall to take a look.

This woman who is beautiful, loves passionately, and lives wantonly has been submerged in this long stream of history after all.

The heavy snow fell for half a month, and the queen exempted everyone from their routine greetings, and everyone rarely moved around.

An Lingrong was playing with An Kang in Weiyang Palace every day, seeing that her health was getting better and better, and she would turn over in the near future, An Lingrong felt extremely satisfied.

"The princess did a great job." After Ankang turned over again, the nurse boasted vigorously on the side.

An Lingrong was looking at the "Parenting Sutra" written by Zhao Xuan himself, and when he heard this, he looked up and couldn't help laughing: "Why did An Kang turn over and look like a goose, what are you looking at?" ”

There was a dragon burning in the Chengxi Palace, warm as spring, An Lingrong spread a thick blanket on the ground, put An Kang directly on the carpet, and rolled around with her.

"It's all a mother, why are you still so narrow?" The emperor's voice suddenly came in from outside.

An Lingrong was taken aback, hurriedly put the book in his hand aside, got up and asked for peace: "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an, and the concubine is out of honor." Today she was lazy, thinking that she didn't have to go out or meet guests, so she had her sideburns loose and her hair untied, and she didn't even wear her clothes properly.

The emperor walked in with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Rong'er is becoming more and more beautiful, even if you don't dress up, you can look good." ”

Originally, An Lingrong's appearance was not outstanding, so she spent a lot of effort to recuperate, the most important one is to care for the skin, using all kinds of treasures in the Treasure Pavilion and the incense powder she developed according to the ancient recipe, over time, the skin is as white as snow, and the fat is like jade.

As the saying goes, if a white covers a hundred ugliness, and the skin is good, it will naturally ignore a lot of appearance flaws, and in addition, after An Lingrong gave birth to a child, his figure is not as single and slender as before, and the plump places are full, especially on the chest, which adds a bit of charm.

The emperor recently fell in love with the new Deqi nobles, and today he was passing by and came in to have a look, but he found that An Ling's appearance was deeper and more charming in the past, and he couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.

But because of Ankang's presence, the emperor had to hold back, he showed a loving smile and stretched out his hand to hug Ankang: "Well, it's a little heavier, and you've been eating and wearing well lately?" If you lack anything, tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs, don't be wronged princess. ”

"Where can I be wronged by her, that is, the concubine is wronged, and Ankang can't be wronged." An Lingrong raised a smile and teased, "Why did the emperor come here today?" The concubines have cold tea and cold soup here, but they don't prepare anything. ”

"Huh? Rong'er's words sounded a little apprehensive. The emperor raised his eyes and looked at An Lingrong with some surprise, and couldn't help laughing, "But didn't I come to you during this time?" ”

"The concubine didn't dare. I heard that the new Qi nobles are delicate and beautiful, and they are quite loved by the emperor, and the concubines only hate to see them. An Lingrong pursed his lips and chuckled, "The new year, the new atmosphere, the new people and the new style, are all excellent intentions." ”

"yes, it's a new year again." The emperor handed Ankang to the nurses and motioned for them to retreat, "Your father has done a good job in salt politics this year, and collected a large amount of salt tax for me. He took An Lingrong's hand and rubbed it twice, "Rong'er, you are by my side, I can always feel much more at ease." ”

An Lingrong just smiled when he heard this, but didn't really listen to it, turned closer to the emperor, and said obediently: "The emperor wants to stay for dinner today?" The concubine asked the small kitchen to be prepared, and just two days ago, the concubine figured out a new food. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you." The emperor held An Lingrong's hand, felt the soft touch of his fingertips, and smiled slightly, "I will stay with you tonight." ”

An Lingrong covered her lips and smiled softly, got up and went to the small kitchen.

Dinner is the emperor's favorite meat dish, a fragrant fried beef tendon is soft and delicious, a roast suckling pig skin is crispy but the meat is tender, and it is eaten in three or two. But the most amazing thing is the glutinous rice steamed pork ribs, the bones are removed whole and replaced with crispy fried yams, I don't know what seasoning is used, one bite, the fragrance suddenly occupies the entire mouth.

"Rong'er's craftsmanship has improved again." The emperor put down his chopsticks and let out a comfortable snoring sound from his throat, "It's all complicated dishes, thank you for your hard work." ”

An Lingrong lowered his head and smiled lightly: "The emperor eats happily, and the concubines are worth it no matter how hard they work." ”

After the wine and food were full, the emperor's mind gradually drifted away, Su Peisheng noticed the change in the atmosphere, and hurriedly beckoned people to retreat.

Only the emperor and An Lingrong were left in the dormitory, and the air became more and more lingering.

An Lingrong was picked up by the emperor and slowly walked to the bed, she looked at the lit incense burner, and her eyes sank slightly.

It wasn't until the second half of the night that the emperor called for water with a hungry face, and An Lingrong was so tired that he didn't even want to move half a finger, and fell asleep in the emperor's arms.

The emperor looked at An Lingrong who was sleeping in his arms, and saw that there were red clouds floating on her face, but she still did not fade away from her flattery, and he didn't feel that his throat was rolling again, but he finally held back.

Qi Guiren felt a little strange recently, why didn't the emperor suddenly summon her? Obviously loved her so much before.

"Little master, why bother asking the queen to move this broken jade xuan? This place is small and far away, and it takes a long way to get to the emperor's Heart Cultivation Palace, where is it more convenient than Chuxiu Palace? Jingtai asked with a puzzled expression.

Qi Guiren didn't care, and looked confident: "Chuxiu Palace is convenient, but there are many people, and Concubine Hui is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and the palace people who come and go every day are several times more than other palaces." Although this broken jade xuan is far away, as long as the emperor remembers it, no matter how far it goes, what are you afraid of. ”

Jingtai was full of worries: "The slave is afraid that she has wronged the little master." Before entering the palace, the adults told him a thousand times, and the little master must get ahead when he enters the palace. ”

"It's important to get ahead, but you can't be a bird and be calculated." Qi Guiren showed three points of cleverness, "The emperor likes Guan Concubine is something that everyone knows, and if you follow Guan Concubine, you will not suffer." ”

"But the slave maid heard that the concubine of Weiyang Palace is also very favored by the emperor, and the little master has not been to Weiyang Palace since he entered the palace, will it be bad?" Jing Tai suddenly remembered, "And Concubine Wan is still very good with her." ”

Qi Guiren sneered: "What is Concubine Rong, it's just a concubine who was promoted because she gave birth to a princess, where can she compare to Concubine Guan." Don't you know, in this full palace, the emperor only allows Guan Concubine to enter and leave the Heart Cultivation Hall freely, and the political affairs of the court are also outspoken to her, who can compare this favor? After speaking, he thought about it again, "But you're right, in the end, it's the lord of the first palace, you can't lose the courtesy, wait for you to pack two gifts, and I will personally send them to Weiyang Palace." ”

"Yes." Jingtai leaned over and answered.

The Qi nobleman was talking to Jingtai about Zhen Huan and An Lingrong, and this Zhen Huan was also talking to An Lingrong in Weiyang Palace.

"My little broken jade xuan, I don't know which way of the fairy guidance, has become a fragrant dumpling in the palace, and the east side hall comes and goes, and there are three people living in front and back." Zhen Huan smiled helplessly, "The noble Qi is obviously here to share the favor, and it is obvious that it is done, but I don't know it." ”

An Lingrong's eyes flashed slightly, and he chuckled: "Sister has already seen her?" I've heard that she's pretty good-looking, but I don't know what her temperament is. ”

"It looks smart, but it's not smart." Zhen Huan thought about it and picked up an appropriate expression, "However, it's good that she Ama and my father are meritorious heroes who brought down Nian Qianyao together, and I don't want to refute her face too much." ”

"Niangniang, the noble Qi asks to see." Cui Yin came in and preached.

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan glanced at each other, and laughed together: "Said Cao Cao Cao arrived, sure enough, you can't say bad things about people behind your back, and people will come to the door when they turn their heads." Then he raised his head and asked Cuiyin to invite the noble Qi in.

And at this moment, at the door of Broken Yuxuan, Fang Chunyi was once again closed.

"Sister Guan is not here again?" Fang Chunyi came again and again, and Zhen Huan was not there every time, she couldn't help but feel a little deliberate in it, "Aunt Lao told me, where did Sister Wan go today?" ”

Cui Jinxi smiled coldly, but she was still polite: "It's really not a coincidence that the noble people came today, Concubine Niangniang went to Weiyang Palace to talk to Concubine Rong Niangniang, and she didn't say when she would come back, and the slave maid couldn't figure out the time, why don't you come and sit down first?" Although she was invited, her body didn't mean to welcome her in.

Fang Chunyi's face froze: "No, then I'll come to Sister Guan next time." Then he turned and hurried away.

When he returned to Yanxi Palace, Fang Chunyi slapped the table angrily and instructed Su Yundao: "Let Su Yu go and inquire, why did Concubine Wan become so unkind to me." I always felt that it wasn't just for the sake of my previous favor. "Could it be that the incident has already been discovered? No, she has done it carefully enough, and the fragrance has dissipated without leaving half a trace, and even if she wants to be suspicious, the first person to be suspected should be Concubine Rong, they are still so good now, they must not have found it yet.

Fang Chunyi sat down with trembling fingertips, and took a sip of tea to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.
