An Lingrong sat quietly on the side, she knew that the current emperor didn't need her to say anything, just accompanied him, not to mention that the matter involved the government, and there was no place for her to speak.

If Long Keduo is finished, the Tong family will be finished, and the Jin nobles will naturally no longer be threatened.

It's just that An Lingrong didn't expect that things would come so quickly.

Please be safe on this day, An Lingrong was watching Kang Chang express himself in front of the queen with great interest, Jiang Fuhai suddenly came in with a solemn expression, walked to the queen's side and whispered a few words, and the queen's face suddenly changed: "Really? ”

Everyone was silent, and even Concubine Qi, who was arguing with Kang Chang, stopped talking and looked up at the queen in unison.

"The emperor was so angry this morning, this palace is going to the Heart Cultivation Hall now, you kneel down." The queen didn't want to say more, so she sent everyone away with a light word, and hurried to the Heart Cultivation Hall with Jian Qiu's hand.

An Lingrong looked at the back of the queen leaving, his eyes flashed slightly, and he deliberately slowed down, and waited until the end before he got up to leave, and as soon as he walked out of Jingren Palace, he saw Kang Chang standing at the entrance of the long street from a distance, and as soon as he turned around, he entered the imperial garden. She smiled and asked people to carry the sedan chair and walk in the direction of the Imperial Garden.

"See Concubine Rong." Kang Changzai waited behind the flowers.

An Lingrong raised his hand to signal the sedan chair, and slowly walked down holding Cuiyin's hand: "Spring is in full bloom, if Kang Changzai is in good spirits, why don't you accompany the palace to enjoy the flowers?" She waved everyone she served to step down, leaving Cuiyin alone.

Kang Chang said with a smile on the upper road: "Yes, the flowers are charming, the concubines have to take a good look, and it is the honor of the concubines to accompany the mother." She walked beside An Lingrong flatteringly, gossiping cleverly, and when she came to a place where no one was around, she changed her face slightly, "Concubine Rong, you taught the concubines to do it one by one, but the queen didn't look at the concubines at all." ”

"Kang is always here, the grace is to be snatched by himself, is it possible to wait for it to fall from the sky in vain?" An Lingrong smiled at her, with a hint of demagogy in her voice, "A woman's flowering period is so short, if you can't take advantage of this time to firmly grasp it, there will be no hope when you are older." She took the fan and patted Kang Changzai's stomach gently, "When you have a child, you can sit back and relax like this palace, you have to work harder." ”

Kang Chang touched his stomach expectantly, and then looked depressed: "Now that the emperor has less and less time to enter the harem, most of the time it is the concubines and concubines who are waiting, where is the turn to get a concubine." ”

"That's not true." An Lingrong chuckled and shook his fan, "Among the concubines who have just entered the palace, the Wan nobles and the Jin nobles are grounded, the Shun nobles are sick in bed, the Hu nobles are too young, and Sun promised to be unknown, so you are the only one left." Kang Chang is here, don't blame Bengong for saying it badly, if you can't grasp such an opportunity, then you can't really complain about others if you don't favor it in the future. ”

An Lingrong paused, lowered his voice and said: "If you want to be favored, you have to climb up, whoever stands in your way, just find a way to get rid of it, otherwise, you deserve to be crushed by them." ”

Kang Changzai's whole body was shocked, but he didn't rush to refute, he only lowered his head and thought.

"Of course, it's not for you to harm people's lives, you have to grasp the proportions of this." An Lingrong left a sentence with a smile, holding Cuiyin's hand and walking away slowly.

At the corner of the rockery in the distance, Jian Qiu slightly turned sideways and hid himself in the shadows, and waited until An Lingrong walked away before he came out again.

After returning to Weiyang Palace, An Lingrong announced Zhou Nan's entry into the palace non-stop.

"What's going on with the morning today?" An Lingrong didn't go around in circles, and asked straight to the point.

Zhou Nan hesitated for a moment: "A while ago, Brother Ji knew about the matter of Jin Guiren instructing people to practice witchcraft in Niangniang's Palace, he didn't know the truth, but at that time, Jin Guiren wanted to take the opportunity to harm Niangniang, and he was so angry that he turned his head and went to investigate the Tong family's crimes, and the result was ...... Long Keduo's servant Niu Lun relied on his power to ask for bribes, Brother Ji held on to the case, interrogated repeatedly, and found out that Long Keduo had accepted Nian Qianyao's property, this morning he played this matter in the early court, the emperor immediately dismissed Long Keduo from the post of secretary of the ministry, and many ministers in the court tried to protect Long Keduo, and the emperor reprimanded him for forming a party for personal gain, and he was furious in court. ”

"I see." An Ling nodded calmly, and was silent for a while before saying, "You remind him to be more careful, don't act impulsively, the matter of witch Gu, you find a suitable time to explain it to him." ”

Zhou Nan breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes." Then he stepped forward to check An Lingrong's pulse, "Niangniang's pregnancy is very good, don't worry too much." ”

"Hmm." An Lingrong touched a sour jujube and held it in his mouth, nodded with a smile.

The day in April began to heat up slightly, and the queen has been busy recently, either Kang Chang is in conflict with Concubine Qi, or the queen mother is getting worse and needs to serve the sick, and then there are countless trivial matters in the harem, several head wind attacks, and the imperial doctor is summoned at night.

On this day, the queen once again exempted everyone from asking for peace, and An Lingrong rarely came to break Yuxuan.

"In the blink of an eye, the hazy moon will crawl." An Lingrong looked at Haoyue who was rolling and crawling on the ground gently, and said with a smile, "I was making a small knee pad when Ankang was just able to climb, and there are a few unused ones left, I brought them, and Haoyue just needed them." ”

The knee pad is not as big as a palm, and when you put it in the palm of your hand, it is very exquisite, and the more Shen Meizhuang looks at it, the more she likes it: "Your craftsmanship has always been good, so I will be respectful and obey my fate, and accept it." She asked Caiyue to take it and put it away first, and then asked the nurse to take Haoyue to the side hall to play, "The queen has been very busy recently, and you have arranged a lot of things behind your back, right?" ”

"Isn't there a sister?" An Lingrong winked slyly at Shen Meizhuang, "Doesn't she like to take care of everything?" Just let her take care of it, I think she's quite happy. ”

"You." Shen Meizhuang couldn't help laughing, turned to look at her and said, "Thanks to your pregnancy, your body has not soared like others, it's been more than four months, and you really can't see this belly if you don't look carefully." ”

An Lingrong touched her slightly bulging belly, smiled, and only said, "Fortunately, she was so busy that she didn't have time to pay attention to me." There are a lot of things going on before this year, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Old Summer Palace, so it depends on what the queen will do next. She took the tea handed over by Cai Yue and took a sip slowly, "If she delegates power, the most likely person to assist the sixth palace is Concubine Jing, for the sixth elder brother, she can use this to cultivate her own power, if she doesn't let go of power, she will definitely investigate the people behind the trouble, once she realizes this, I will definitely be exposed." ”

"What then?" Shen Meizhuang frowned.

"What I want, all I want is for her to find out I'm doing things behind my back." An Lingrong said with a smile.

Shen Meizhuang was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Now I really can't see through your mind more and more." ”

"As long as my sister knows, I will never harm you." An Lingrong took Shen Meizhuang's hand, and stretched his eyebrows and said, "Those pickled methods, the less my sister is contaminated, the better, just guard the hazy moon and live a quiet and plain life." ”

"You must not do anything to hurt yourself." Shen Meizhuang held her hand and said with concern, "Don't protect me too much, if you need me, you must tell me." I'm not very good at those twists and turns, intrigue, but Rong'er, I don't want to see you in danger, I've lost Huan'er, and I can't lose you again. ”

An Lingrong was a little moved, softened his eyebrows, and smiled lightly: "Sister, I promise you that it is." ”

Shen Meizhuang nodded reassuringly.

Unexpectedly, An Lingrong immediately said: "If the queen finds out that it is me behind her, she will definitely take action against me, my sister must hold down her temperament, don't make mistakes in a panic." ”

"What?" Shen Meizhuang was taken aback.

An Lingrong just looked at her with a smile: "There is still half a month, and the grounding period of the Jin nobles and the Wan nobles is coming, and probably some people will not be able to sit still." ”

Within two days, there was a big incident in the palace.

Concubine Qi was scratched by a cat and her face!

"Three bloody wounds, the slave maid looked at it from a distance and felt shocked." Cardamom brought the latest news to An Lingrong, "Concubine Qi made a lot of noise, and all the imperial doctors were called to Chuxiu Palace, took the best gold sore medicine to stop the bleeding, and bandaged the wound, but Imperial Doctor Wen said that the wound was too deep, even if it was good, it would leave a scar, so that Concubine Qi had a psychological preparation." Concubine Qi immediately smashed the medicine box, crying and asking them to make an ointment to remove scars. ”

"Alas, Concubine Qi is a rare beauty, how can it be good to be disfigured like this." An Lingrong pretended to sigh regretfully, and said to Cuiyin, "There is still a small half box of Shu Trace Gel in the makeup box of this palace, which is the rest of Ankang used last time, you take it and give it to Concubine Qi, just say that there is only so little left in this palace, and there is no more, give it to her to express your heart." ”

Cuiyin stopped laughing and took the order.

"Dill, let people get some news to Jingren Palace, and help the queen find out the origin of the cat as soon as possible." An Lingrong slowly touched the delicate patterns on the armor and said in a deep voice.

In Jingren Palace, the queen was sulking: "It's really a pity for Concubine Qi's face, it's good, how can a cat pounce on it?" She rubbed her eyebrows a little tiredly, "Hongu always feels that there have been a lot of things recently, one after another. She raised her head and looked at Jian Qiu, "Is the Queen Mother feeling better today?" ”

"The doctor said it's much better, and I can get out of bed and take two steps this morning." Jian Qiu replied, and then hesitated to speak, "Niangniang, the slave has heard some things recently, and I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"You say yes." The queen slowly took off her earrings.

"Some people say that the cat that scratched Concubine Qi was promised to be fed by Kang, and she trained it with the spices commonly used by Concubine Qi every day, which caused the cat to pounce on Concubine Qi as soon as she saw it." Jian Qiu told the queen what she heard, "Moreover, last time in the Imperial Garden, the slave maid saw Kang Changzai and Concubine Rong walking very closely, and the two laughed and walked, which was very intimate. ”

"Concubine Rong?" The queen frowned, looked at herself in the mirror, and her face sank little by little, "In this way, these things that have happened in the palace recently are also fueled by her, in order to make the palace have no time to take care of the concubines and concubines, so that she can have the opportunity to fiddle with Kang Changzai, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and enjoy the heavens on the pillow." ”

"Mother, you can't let her be so proud." Jian Qiu said angrily, "She also pretended to send half a box of Shu Ji glue to Concubine Qi today, I'm afraid that she still has the intention of winning over Concubine Qi, but the Shu Mark Glue has been used by Princess Ankang, and the effect is excellent." ”

The queen's face completely darkened, and she slapped the hairpin on the dresser with one palm: "She is really kind!" She took a deep breath and quickly calmed down, "Can Qin Tianjian's envoy still be used?" ”

"Lord Jin has always been loyal to Niangniang." Jian Qiu pursed her lips and smiled.

"Let him go to the emperor recently, and say that Concubine Rong is ominous and needs to be closed for half a year." The queen eased her face and commanded in a low voice, "Make Concubine Rong's situation clear to him, just say a few words in front of the emperor when the time comes, don't talk too much, just trap her, and let her come out when the palace has eased up for a while." ”

"Yes, slave understands." Jianqiu took the order.

The queen quietly looked at herself in the mirror, she had worked hard for a while recently, her face was visibly old, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were also increasing.
