An autumn rain and a cold, but the people in the Chengxi Hall were all busy sweating, there was a muffled cry of pain in the hall, the queen hurried over, and before entering the door, she saw that the emperor was already sitting under the corridor, standing next to the Wan nobles who were served by the flop tonight, and on the other side stood the Shun nobles.

The queen settled down, walked up the steps in three or two steps, and smiled slowly at the emperor: "The concubine rushed over as soon as she got the news, and she still didn't pass the emperor." ”

"The queen came at night, and it was hard work." The emperor's expression was not half happy, and he only said in a deep voice.

"At this juncture, the queen has to preside over the overall situation, with the mother here, the concubines and others can also feel at ease." Wan Guiren followed the queen's words and said a few words, and then walked behind the queen with her hand down, and the queen saw this, just pursed her lips and smiled meaningfully, and did not say much.

Shun Guiren looked at the queen standing next to the emperor, only to see that she was dressed in a red and gold dress, full of pearls and emeralds, standing under the corridor, like a blooming black peony, graceful, luxurious, with a gentle shallow smile on her face, but for some reason, Shun Guiren only felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet, and it was very cold.

After another trance, the chill disappeared suddenly, and the noble man shook his head, as if it was just an illusion.

The heavy rain fell all night, and the emperor and the queen also sat under the corridor all night, until the dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight pierced through the dark clouds and fell, and a loud cry came from the Chengxi Palace.

At that time, the rain also stopped.

When An Lingrong woke up again, it was already bright daylight, the golden sunlight came in from the window, falling all over the golden yellow, she blinked her somewhat sour eyes, there was a shadow as far as her eyes could see, her body couldn't move half a minute heavily, the pain of childbirth seemed to linger, she helplessly reached out to grab something, and suddenly a hand held her.

"Rong'er, you're awake." Shen Meizhuang's clear voice sounded slowly, An Lingrong followed the voice to find her, and the misty mist in front of her was wiped away little by little, and slowly became clear, "You have been sleeping for almost an hour, and Concubine Duan and I are in a hurry." ”

"The mother is awake." Cuiyin breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and ran out to tell the emperor.

"Where's the kid?" An Lingrong asked in a hoarse voice, "And Ankang, it happened so suddenly last night, I didn't have the energy to take care of her." ”

"Don't worry, Ankang was in Concubine Jing's palace last night, and the seventh elder brother is also very healthy......" Shen Meizhuang said softly, and just after saying a few words, he caught a glimpse of a bright yellow figure hurriedly walking at the door, and hurriedly got up to salute and retreated to the side.

The emperor couldn't hide the joy on his face, sat on the edge of the bed, and laughed with endless joy in his voice: "Rong'er, you gave birth to another child for me, you are a healthy brother!" "With the precedent of the sixth elder brother, as soon as the seventh elder brother landed, the emperor asked Zhou Nan and Wen Shichuzai to carefully inspect it, and there were indeed no defects, so he was relieved.

An Lingrong's heart fell to the ground suddenly, and the huge joy overwhelmed her like a monstrous overwhelm, she sat up leisurely holding the emperor's hand: "Let me see the child, Cuiyin, go and pick it up......"

The nurse was arranged early in the morning, and after the internal affairs government checked at all levels, An Lingrong carefully selected only two to stay, and sent a letter back to An's house, carefully investigated the background of the two, and pinched their net worth and lives in their hands before they were relieved to stay. Now, one of them walked in slowly with a gold-woven cloud brocade swaddling clothes, walked to the window with a smile on his face, and happily invited An Hou before sending the child to An Lingrong: "Niang Niang is happy, he is a healthy and sturdy little brother." ”

The newborn child has faded from his wrinkled appearance, his small body, soft fingers, curled up in a ball, bathed in the sun, as if he can still see the fine fluff on his body.

An Lingrong unconsciously softened his eyebrows, reached out and gently held the hand of the seventh elder brother, and said softly: "The appearance of the seventh elder brother is very similar to the appearance of An Kang when he was born, but he is more robust. ”

"Yes, the siblings look like they were carved out of the same mold." The emperor looked at it carefully, nodded suddenly, and smiled involuntarily, "Ankang's appearance when he was just born is still in front of me, and I still think that today is yesterday night." Thank you, Rong'er. He had a thin heir, but An Lingrong gave birth to a daughter and a son for him one after another.

"The emperor has favored his concubines for many years, and the concubines have nothing to repay, neither can they take care of the trivial affairs of the harem like the queen's mother, so as to avoid the emperor's worries, nor can they accompany the emperor like other sisters in the palace from time to time, brushing away the lack of the emperor's governance, and can only do their best to extend the heirs for the emperor and continue the royal bloodline." An Lingrong leaned on the emperor's arms and said softly, "The emperor doesn't need to thank you, the seventh elder brother is the emperor's child, and he is also the child of the concubine, and the concubine is also very happy about his arrival." ”

Hearing this, the emperor was deeply moved. His Rong'er is different from the women in the palace, she values children, not only because they are princes and princesses, but also because they are their own children, under this pure love, she will not snub her because Ankang is a princess, nor will she give up Ankang who has no use value because of the prince - if Eniang was like Rong'er back then, maybe he didn't have to be young and miserable, and he went through the ups and downs early.

"Your Majesty?" An Lingrong was hugged tightly by the emperor for some unknown reasons, raised his eyes and smiled at Shen Meizhuang with some teasing, couldn't help blushing, stretched out his hand and pushed him, "Your Majesty, there are still people." ”

The emperor then remembered that he was not alone at the moment, glanced back at Shen Meizhuang, and smiled: "Concubine Hui and you have always been good friends, so it doesn't hurt to let her see it." He looked at Shen Meizhuang and suddenly realized that he hadn't seen her for a long time, "Concubine Hui is still dressed up as before, and today's begonia is red and delicate but not demonic, and it is very good-looking." ”

Shen Meizhuang smiled quietly: "Sister Rong is overjoyed, the concubine is just a good idea to wear a festive color dress." ”

"Concubine Hui has never worn delicate colors, but today she made an exception for Concubine Rong." The queen's voice came from outside the hall, she walked in slowly with a graceful smile, and saluted the emperor before she spoke, "I just went back to change my clothes, thinking that Concubine Rong hadn't woken up yet, the concubine asked people to go to the treasury to find it, and turned out a few pieces of good mutton fat jade, which was given to the concubine by her sister back then, and the concubine remembered that Concubine Rong's previous mutton fat jade bracelet was broken not long after, it was a pity, so she thought about doing what she liked, and gave these pieces of mutton fat jade to Concubine Rong as a congratulatory gift, the emperor thought it was good?" ”

I haven't heard this name for a long time, and the queen suddenly mentioned it, and the emperor was also in a trance for a moment: "Her things are naturally excellent." He glanced at the queen, "It's hard for you to give up." ”

"My sister left a lot of things for the concubines before, and the concubines took out a closer look from time to time, which is also the love between sisters." The queen deliberately mentioned Chunyuan, just to take off the black cauldron on her body, even if she really couldn't pick it up, she had to let the emperor let go of the matter and no longer remember the account.

Now that An Lingrong has given birth safely, most of the queen's suspicions have gone, and then the emperor is moved by pure old emotions, and the previous things can be easily revealed with a sentence of "coincidence".

The queen's eyes flashed, and she fell on An Lingrong, who was looking at the child intently, with a coldness in her eyes.

In the half year that An Lingrong was cultivated, the queen stabilized the status of the concubine, carefully cultivated Hu Guiren, and had the third elder brother as her adopted son, and the harem was all held in her hands.

Feeling the queen's gaze, An Lingrong raised his eyes and looked over, raised his eyebrows and smiled, his expression relaxed. She is not as popular as the queen, now, she has both children and honors, and her mother's family is rising step by step, and the future is open, in the future, as long as she guards the Weiyang Palace and lives in peace and stability.

An Lingrong blinked lightly and looked at the queen silently.

The emperor still had something to do in the previous court, and after sitting for a while, he got up and left, and the queen saw that An Lingrong seemed to have something to say, so she stayed under the pretense of discussing the style of the jade bracelet.

"Thank you for the queen's care in the past six months, and the concubines are grateful." An Lingrong retreated left and right, and even Shen Meizhuang was persuaded by her to see Ankang, leaving only himself and the queen alone.

The queen didn't bother to disguise herself with An Lingrong anymore, withdrew her usual dignified smile, and looked at An Lingrong coldly: "Concubine Rong, it has always been the palace that underestimated you, and in this battle, the palace lost convincingly, but it may not be the case in the future." She lowered her eyes and glanced at the place where the seventh elder brother had been lying, pursed her lips and smiled softly.

An Lingrong leaned on the head of the bed and looked at the queen with a smile: "Queen Niang, a person's biggest enemy is to expose himself when he has not yet figured out the details of the other party, does Niangniang think that the concubine will give birth to the second child of the concubine without preparation?" Looking at the queen's slightly changing face, she slowly spoke, "When the mother can't sleep at night, she will drink a cup of licorice lemon tea, and then she will chant a stick of incense. ”

The queen's eyes widened suddenly, looking at An Lingrong, who couldn't speak for a long time.

When did this palace start to be full of her eyeliner? There are even in Jingren Palace! The queen took two deep breaths, and finally suppressed the anger.

"Queen Mother, I hope we can live in peace in the future." An Lingrong restrained his momentum and showed a harmless smile from humans and animals, "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people, if people offend me, I will pay back twice." This truth, the queen should understand better than the concubines. ”

The queen gritted her back molars fiercely, and vigorously popped out a word from between her teeth: "Good." ”

Looking at the back of the queen leaving, An Lingrong let out a long breath of turbidity.

Dill lifted the curtain and walked in, and said to An Lingrong: "The slaves and maids over there of the seventh elder brother have been arranged, in addition to Ping Niang and You Niang, Ju Qing serves closely, and the slaves and maids have also promoted Lian'er and Xing'er to be responsible for the living of the seventh elder brother." ”

An Lingrong nodded: "You pay attention, it's time for Ankang to arrange an aunt to teach Xi, everything else is secondary, the most important thing is that people must be loyal and honest." ”

"Yes." Dill replied.

"Starting today, even if it is a complete showdown with the queen." An Lingrong looked at Dill with a burning eye, "In the past year, Cuiyin didn't hide it from you when she recruited people, you should know everything you should know, is there anything else you don't understand?" ”

Dill shook her head.

"Cuiyin will be twenty-five in another month, and it is not good for the palace to keep her by her side, and you have to come to the position of the palace maid." An Lingrong smiled slowly, "Dill, do a good job of supporting the Weiyang Palace for the palace, don't let the palace down." ”

Dill bowed down seriously and solemnly: "The slave will live up to the trust of the mother, and also live up to the teachings of Aunt Cuiyin." ”

The autumn wind rises, the first day of October, is the day of Anling Rong Jin Feng Guifei, on the same day, the seven princes were given the name "Honghao" by the emperor, for a time, the scenery of Weiyang Palace is the same, everyone knows, this Rong Guifei is the head of the concubines in the harem second only to the queen, and the number of people who worship under its door suddenly increased.

"Hao, heavens. How could her child deserve such a name?! The queen couldn't contain the anger in her heart, and almost crushed a mouthful of silver teeth. Her Honghui has never had such an honor, how can An Lingrong's son be pressed on her Honghui's head!

Jian Qiu carefully looked at the queen's expression and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, the Hu nobles and the Yu nobles went to Weiyang Palace together. ”

"White-eyed wolf!" The queen scolded, and endured and endured to maintain her demeanor, "Is there anyone who found out that Concubine Rong was planted in Jingren Palace?" ”

Jian Qiu lifted her heart even more, lowered her head, and slowly shook her head.

"Bang!"

The delicate blue and white porcelain bowl was smashed to the ground, and Jian Qiu fell to his knees.

The queen's face was cloudy, and her eyes were scarlet.
