Prince Dun personally came to the door to apologize to Zhang Lin, although it was a hasty matter, but the matter also calmed down a lot, and the emperor reprimanded him without pain, and the matter was in the past.

However, the serious matter was solved, and the remaining tail gave An Lingrong a headache.

Indeed, as Prince Dun Fujin said, Princess Gongding was pampered and rude, and she had a noble temper, and she had just entered the palace and made people in Weiyang Palace turn their backs.

"This princess said that she would bathe with milk, and you maids actually fooled this princess with goat's milk mixed with water!"

"Pearl powder, pearl powder! The main thing in this company is the pearl powder of the South China Sea pearl mill, where did you get the pickled goods, this princess's face is allergic! ”

"This princess only wears clothes made of Shu brocade, and she dares to show her eyes in front of this princess!"

And so on and so forth.

An Lingrong listened to Cuiyin's reply, and had a headache after a while: "Everything else is easy to say, but it costs a little more, just let the Internal Affairs Office find it, what do you say about this Shu Jin?" There are only ten horses in the hands of this palace, and it is not enough to give them all. She rubbed her eyebrows, sighed long, and complained to the emperor back and forth thousands of times in her heart, "Let's go, this palace will meet this princess Gongding." ”

When he walked to the door of Zhongchun Pavilion, he heard a loud beating and scolding from inside, An Ling frowned without a trace, and motioned for Cuiyin to speak.

"Concubine Rong has arrived—"

There was a sudden silence inside, and the palace people knelt down to greet her, and Princess Gongding stood in the center of the crowd, not bowing or bowing, clasping her hands in front of her chest, and looking at An Lingrong with an arrogant face.

She was born beautiful, she is a girl's unique delicacy and innocence, and she has a little more pampered nobility than the previous Fang Chunyi. Princess Gongding raised her chin at An Lingrong, and there was no respect between her words: "Who does this princess think it is?" The concubines also dared to put up a shelf in front of the princess, even the queen mother had never been so powerful. Huh, what? Relying on his own favor, don't you take this princess in your eyes? ”

Cui Yin frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but was pressed back by An Lingrong's hand.

An Lingrong was not annoyed, slowly walked to the main seat and sat down, waved his hand to let everyone retreat, slowly poured himself a cup of tea, and also poured a cup for Princess Gongding: "The princess entered the palace this morning, the palace is busy, and now I will hurry up to see you when I am free, I didn't expect the princess to teach the next people, do you think they are not serving well?" ”

As the so-called stretching out her hand and not hitting the smiling person, Princess Gongding looked at An Lingrong's smiling face, sneered, threw away the soft whip in her hand and sat opposite her: "It's just like that, the main thing is that the things in this palace are too shabby, and there are none of the things that this princess uses every day, so I really feel wronged." Before entering the palace, E-Niang specially instructed, saying that what is lacking is to ask for Concubine Niangniang, Niangniang, now this princess is also lacking, what do you think? ”

The round face is full of malice, An Lingrong can feel it even without eyes, but she is not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded by others, and she replied when she saw the move: "The princess's words are bad, the use of the palace and the palace, every stitch and thread is the emperor's grace, that is, no matter how noble the princess is, she should not cross the emperor and the queen, the palace is short-sighted, I don't know where the princess said about the daily use, where does it come from?" It's better to talk about it in detail, this palace is so that people can find it one by one. ”

Princess Gongding choked and didn't say anything for a long time.

Where did it come from? Aren't they all good things that people below respect for their filial piety? The extravagance of Prince Dun's mansion is not a secret thing, but no one will break it on the surface, just because Prince Dun is the only prince who holds the power of the army, that is, the eight kings and nine kings were implicated with him back then, and the emperor finally still opened up to him, and his status was so honorable, everyone naturally flattered him a lot, and his sycophancy was even more than those who pursued Nian Qianyao.

But can Princess Gongding say this? Of course not! I could only hold back my face and snort.

An Lingrong looked at her with a smile, and said: "The emperor made an exception to make you a princess, and then gave you a title, do you understand the meaning?" ”

Princess Gongding looked at An Lingrong and didn't speak.

"The word Gongding is to remind you that Ama is always respectful and stable, don't let down the emperor's grace, and the princess should also keep this in mind." An Lingrong smiled slightly, and there was a coldness in his eyes, "The Weiyang Palace of this palace is better than Prince Budun's mansion, and the princess will have to be wronged in the future, and I hope the princess will not be surprised." ”

"You!" Princess Gongding slammed the table and stood up.

"Doesn't the princess think that she has come to the palace for pleasure?" An Ling Rongfu smiled and poked a knife again, "The last one to be so flamboyant in the palace was Concubine Dunsu, does the princess want to end up like her?" ”

"Presumptuous! How dare you compare Nian's short-lived princess to Ben! Princess Gongding was so angry that she was about to slap her face.

"Princess, think clearly." An Lingrong raised his eyes, his eyes were full of fierceness, "This palace is the emperor's concubine, you are the daughter of Prince Dun, if you beat me, it will be Prince Dun's disregard for the emperor's prestige and the following offense." ”

Princess Gongding froze in place suddenly, and Yang's hand in the air was not closed, nor did it fall, and it took a long time for her to seem to have figured out the trick in it, and let it go stupidly.

"That's right." An Lingrong slowly got up, walked to Princess Gongding's side, raised her hand to tidy up her somewhat messy bun, looked down at her unwilling face, and said with a smile, "The princess has to put herself in the right position, twelve years old, it's time to be sensible." ”

Princess Gongding clenched her fists and watched An Lingrong leave tremblingly, a trace of mist slowly rising in her eyes.

Even if Ama has loved her like a treasure since she was a child, once this time comes, she will be the first person to be abandoned, not Hongxuan, just because her younger brother is a sister-in-law and can inherit the title, and she is just a dispensable chess piece. Why? Is it just because she's a daughter?

Princess Gongding looked up at the empty Zhongchun Pavilion, her eyes were hazy, she whimpered and raised her hand to wipe her tears, swallowing her full of grievances.

Listening to the intermittent crying, An Lingrong stood behind the window, sighed heavily, but couldn't persuade anything, she knew the ending of Prince Dun, and naturally she wouldn't have too much good face towards Gongding, but out of sympathy, she couldn't bear to be too harsh, so she ordered Cuiyin: "The girl's skin is delicate, I see that Princess Gongding's face is indeed a little red, you wait to get a box of condensate for her." Tell the people who serve below, but all the princesses, after registering and making a book, go to the Internal Affairs Office to get it, and it should be separated from the use of the Weiyang Palace, if there is a special use, come and report to the palace in time, and give her everything that can be given. ”

Cui Yin responded, and then smiled: "Niangniang is still soft-hearted, even if the princess is so rude, I can't bear to see her too wronged." ”

"It's just a little girl who has been spoiled by the family, why bother with her." An Lingrong held Cuiyin's hand and walked back to the main hall slowly, and chuckled, "What's more, it's also a hard-working child." Seeing that Cuiyin was puzzled, she said again, "Why do you think the emperor must have a princess enter the palace?" Naturally, because he was afraid of Prince Dun's power, he could rest assured that he would hold a handle in his hand as soon as possible, nominally saying that he loved the princess and let the princess Chenghuan fall under the queen mother's knees, but in fact, he took the princess as a hostage to restrain Prince Dun. Nian Qianyao's example is right in front of him, and the emperor will never allow himself to make the same mistake. ”

"So, Princess Gongding, this is a sacrifice made by Prince Dun after weighing the pros and cons?" Cuiyin blinked her eyes and sighed lightly, "No matter how much you love it, it can't compare to the power in your hands after all." ”

An Lingrong looked up at the sky, only to feel a sigh of relief in his chest, and he couldn't swallow it.

Since ancient times, women have been victims of men's power struggles, even their own daughters.

"It's hard for you, and you have to coax her everywhere." Zhen Huan listened to An Lingrong talk about taking care of Gongding in the past few days, and said with emotion, "Ankang has never seen you so bothered to coax." ”

"That's why I brought Ankang to my sister's place today to hide and be clean." An Lingrong glanced at Cardamom and Liuzhu, who were having fun in the yard, and with the laughter like Ankang's silver bell, her mood was much better, "I beat her twice that day, and I was a little more peaceful, and I stopped making noise all day long, but there were more trivial things, and yesterday Prince Fujin of Dun also specially asked people to send things in, for fear that Gongding would be wronged." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhen Huan shook An Lingrong's hand and comforted.

As he was talking, Xiao Xiazi hurriedly came in and passed the word: "The master asked the slave to hurry up and invite Niangniang to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace," he looked at Zhen Huan and then at An Lingrong, "It just so happens that Concubine Rong Niangniang is also there, it is better to go over together, the emperor is angry." ”

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong glanced at each other, and immediately knew that things were not good, so they were busy preparing a sedan chair, and they didn't dare to delay for a moment and went to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, Su Peisheng was so anxious that he spun around, and saw Zhen Huan getting off the sedan chair, and hurriedly greeted him: "Niangniang, you are here, the emperor has a big temper and blasted out the minions. Turning his head and seeing An Lingrong coming forward, he was immediately overjoyed, "Ouch, Concubine Rong Niangniang, you are also here, it just so happens that you and Concubine Guan Niangniang work together to persuade the emperor, the slave has served for so many years, and I have never seen the emperor have been so angry." ”

An Lingrong glanced at Zhen Huan and asked, "What happened?" ”

"It seems to be for Prince Tun's recital." Su Peisheng only knew a rough idea, "It seems to be a piece of music." ”

Zhen Huan was surprised, then understood, and frowned tightly: "Prince Dun is too unpopular, so he sealed a pair of his children, and in the blink of an eye, he will come to ask for the seal." She turned her head and glanced at An Lingrong, "No wonder the emperor is angry." ”

"If the emperor refuses, he can return the concerto." An Lingrong sped up the speed of his feet, "The emperor has never been a hot-tempered person......"

"Presumptuous!"

An Lingrong's words were interrupted by a loud shout, and then a tea bowl flew out of the Heart Cultivation Hall and smashed in front of An Lingrong and Zhen Huan.

It seems that the emperor is really angry.

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan saw sorrow in each other's eyes, and they both became cautious.

Zhen Huan led the way into the hall, and An Lingrong went to the side hall to make a pot of tea first, and took two steps to enter: "The emperor drinks tea, and the liver is on fire." ”

"Rong'er is here too." The emperor looked up at An Lingrong, reached out and took the teacup and took a sip, "Su Peisheng is obedient and knows that he is going to invite the two of you." ”

"Father-in-law Su is afraid that the emperor will be angry and hurt his body too much." An Lingrong persuaded gently, "The emperor will first slow down and dissipate his anger." ”

The tea fragrance is long, with a little warm plum fragrance, which is exactly the same as the incense used by An Lingrong today, which makes the emperor unconsciously relax. He sighed, "You two sisters are truly a treasure from heaven. ”

After calming down a little, the emperor handed Zhen Huan a letter and said, "Look at it, Yun is so bold." ”

An Lingrong stood aside and was shocked, but saw that Zhen Huan took the fold and looked at it very naturally, as if it had been done thousands of times.

It's just that before she was shocked, Zhen Huan retold what was written on the fold, which made An Lingrong so frightened that he almost didn't dare to listen.

"He asked the emperor to posthumously crown his biological mother Concubine Wen as a concubine and move her burial to the mausoleum of the first emperor's concubine." Zhen Huan showed a look of disbelief.

An Lingrong didn't know why, the emperor saw her puzzled, and explained: "Concubine Wen is the concubine of the first emperor, although she died early, it is reasonable to pursue the seal, but Concubine Wen died an embarrassing death that year, and the first emperor decreed that she was not allowed to be buried in the concubine's mausoleum. ”

An Lingrong was stunned, and then understood the emperor's difficulty: "If the emperor really agrees to what Prince Dun said, he will ignore the face of the first emperor, and the emperor will have no place to deal with himself, but if he is not allowed to ......" She hurriedly stopped talking.

"He clearly wants to put me in a place of unfilial piety, and he doesn't even care about the face of the first emperor." The emperor lowered his eyes, and there was a coldness in his eyes, "What's even more odious is that Yuncai took this chapter, and the two Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War played together, proposing to appease the harem, posthumously seal the concubine, and rebuild the concubine's mausoleum." ”

"What does the emperor mean is that Prince Dun has formed a party for personal gain?" Zhen Huan blurted out.

"Bastard!" The emperor slammed the table.

An Lingrong hurriedly stepped forward to hold the emperor's hand: "The emperor is angry, don't be angry with your body, the dragon body is important." ”

"It's tolerable, it's unbearable." The emperor was so angry that his chest rose and fell, "Even if I am willing to be this unscrupulous son, I can turn a blind eye to their secret collusion, but the Queen Mother, how can I be willing!" ”

An Lingrong patted the emperor's back, lowered her eyes and was silent, she knew that it was related to the affairs of the court, and she refused to come, but she didn't expect that Zhen Huan would be so familiar with talking about the affairs of the previous dynasty.
