Chapter 170. Return to the palace

An Lingrong will always remember this day, the clouds are clear and the wind is clear, the flowers are like brocade, the sun is pouring down from the clouds, the sky is dyed into a gorgeous gold, the branches and begonias are blooming, Zhen Huan pushed open the gate of Weiyang Palace in the charming flowers and walked in front of her.

"Rong'er, don't be afraid, I'm here."

An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan, and saw that she was wearing gorgeous red makeup to the extreme, fading away from the youthfulness and immaturity of a girl, and her beauty was brought with a sharp blade, but the tenderness in her eyes never changed. An Lingrong was a little dazed, she didn't feel tears in her eyes, and a corner of her heart suddenly loosened, and her heart, which had been held for a long time, suddenly collapsed, and she could finally cry without any scruples.

Zhen Huan hugged her and let her emotions vent, just like when she hugged herself.

"Sister Mei said you are very sick, and I can't wait to come and see you." Zhen Huan pulled An Lingrong back to the hall and sat down, and only after she calmed down a little bit did she speak, "I wanted to come to you as soon as I returned to the palace, but the emperor pointed out that the fourth elder brother was my son, so I had to persuade him a few words first, so I delayed for a while." ”

An Lingrong sighed, looked up at dill, and said with a wry smile: "Sister, don't worry, I'm not sick, I'm just pretending." Seeing that Dill's eyes widened, she chuckled lightly and looked at Zhen Huan, "But the symptoms at the onset of the disease are real, I asked Cardamom to give me a medicine, and after taking it, I will become demented and in a trance, but it will recover after the effect of the medicine, and it will not be in the way." ”

"It's a medicine that is three parts poisonous, why are you suffering?" Zhen Huan was startled for a moment, revealing a distressed look.

"If I want to bring down the queen, I have no chance of winning on my own, I need allies." An Lingrong did not shy away from Zhen Huan, "Whether it is the emperor or the queen mother, they don't want to see the balance of the harem unbalanced, I pretended to be sick just to make them feel that it is inappropriate for the queen to monopolize power in the palace, and it is necessary to support another person to fight against the queen." I got rid of Concubine Qi first, and the rest, Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing, and Sister Mei, no matter which one they are, I am sure to persuade them to join forces with me, but I didn't expect that in the end, I let you go back to the palace. ”

She lowered her head, her eyes unbearable: "Sister, I know, you don't want to go back to the palace......"

"No, I volunteered to return to the palace." Zhen Huan shook her head and said.

An Lingrong pursed the corners of her mouth and was silent for a while, then raised her eyes to look at her: "If the king of the county had not disappeared halfway through Yunnan-Tibet, you would have gone away with him by now, in the final analysis, it was me who delayed you." ”

Zhen Huan was not surprised at all, and even felt relieved because of An Lingrong's straightforward puncture.

She didn't mean to hide it, and really explained the reason: "Rong'er, I can't leave in style after all, I have too many ties, there is the Zhen family, there is Haoyue, and you and Sister Mei, I can't put all the people who care about me on the fire for my own pleasure." She paused, and then said, "When the news of his death came, I was full of only thoughts about revenge, and even when I knew that the emperor knew that Yunnan Tibet was in danger and would send him to investigate, I passed on my hatred to the emperor, but he came back...... Rong'er, I am very satisfied to see him return safely. ”

Zhen Huan had tears in her eyes, but she still pulled the corners of her mouth: "The mistakes in the world have never stopped, maybe we are destined to be destined in this life." It's like a dream, and when you wake up, everything has to go back to the way it was. ”

An Lingrong saw the unforgettable pain in her eyes, her heart was touched, her eyes slowly moved down, and fell on her slightly pregnant belly, and her mind suddenly moved: "Sister, this child...... Is it his, or is it the emperor's? In my vague memory, Zhen Huan's fetus seems to be twins, but if you distinguish it carefully, you can still see that her belly is much bigger.

"This is ......" Zhen Huan touched her belly, which was slightly bound by raw silk, and stopped talking.

An Lingrong's face turned slightly pale, and he held Zhen Huan's hand tightly: "Sister, are you crazy?" "Secretly married to a beaded fetus, the tanuki changed the prince, but if there is a mistake, it is okay to raid the family and exterminate the family.

"Rong'er, you must help me with this matter." Zhen Huan held An Lingrong's hand tightly, and there was a bit of pleading in her eyes. She knows that this matter is too shocking, if it weren't for Wen Shichu to help her, she might not be able to hide it from the emperor's eyes, but this palace is the queen's world after all, she is alone, I am afraid that it is difficult to support the lonely tree, Sister Mei is not scheming, only Rong'er can help her hide from the world.

An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan's eyes full of pleading, and suddenly remembered his previous life.

In her previous life, how did Zhen Huan survive that difficult time alone? She returned to the palace pregnant, and the palace was full of gossip, like a sharp knife stabbing at her, but she survived dangerously alone. An Lingrong's heart twitched.

"Okay." An Lingrong held Zhen Huan's hand and nodded in agreement, "However, my sister also has to promise me, if this child is a prince, you must not establish him as the prince." ”

"No, whoever loves the supreme position in this world, I just want my children to be safe and healthy." Zhen Huan blinked away the thin tears in her eyes, nodded and smiled, "If there is a chance to produce an heir to his name, it will be considered a fulfillment for me and this child." ”

An Lingrong eased his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to caress Zhen Huan's stomach: "Since this is the case, then we have to make plans in advance, and we can't wait for the queen to make a move and then fight back passively." The child in the palace has a hard life, sister, do your best to keep his life safe and smooth, otherwise, it will only be like my well-being......"

Hearing the choking in An Lingrong's voice, Zhen Huan also felt sour: "This account, one day we will settle accounts with the queen." ”

"Queen Ulanala Yixiu, the most important thing is nothing more than two things, one is her queen throne, and the other is her queen mother's honor." An Lingrong's eyes were full of hatred, "To destroy a person, you have to start with what she cares about the most, what I want is not just for her to repay a life!" ”

Zhen Huan refreshed her perception of the queen's viciousness, and she looked at An Lingrong with cold eyes: "The emperor welcomed me back to the palace today with half of the queen's honor guard, but I am afraid that I also have the intention of suppressing her arrogance, and the queen is afraid that she wants to get rid of me quickly." She killed your well-being, and also killed my first child, so femme fatale, and worthy of the dignity of the mother of the nation? ”

"Sister, you just returned to the palace, the foundation is not stable, and you can't clash with her head-on for the time being." An Lingrong motioned for Dill to take out the roster and handed it to Zhen Huan, "These are some people who I have to use, I have already explained, your order is my order, my sister just use it." ”

"Okay." Zhen Huan didn't shirk either, "In your opinion, who should you start with?" ”

An Lingrong fixed his eyes and spit out two words in a cold voice: "Qi Concubine." ”

Next.

Zhen Huan came to Jingren Palace early to ask for peace, and the concubines had not yet arrived at that time, she was led into the side hall by Jianqiu, and knelt down to make a big salute to the queen: "Say hello to the queen, I wish the mother and the phoenix good health, and the thousand-year-old Jin'an." Cui Jinxi and Liuzhu behind him also knelt down together.

"Get up and sit down." The queen knew that the comer was not good, but she also had to accept this gift, "Cut autumn, watch tea." ”

Zhen Huan got up and sat down, and listened to the queen tease her in a mocking tone: "Today is not the first and fifteenth day of the new year, Concubine Xi came so early." ”

Hearing this, Zhen Huan just smiled lightly, and replied thoughtfully: "I should have come as soon as I returned to the palace yesterday, so I came here today to ask my mother for sin." ”

"You're pregnant, and you've just come back from Ganlu Temple, so you should take a good rest." The queen raised her eyes to look at her, and pulled the corners of her mouth with a smile, "I'm going to see you in the future anyway, and I'm not in a hurry to ask for peace." ”

"The queen cares, and the concubines don't dare to be too presumptuous." Zhen Huan behaved extremely humbly and respectfully, but faintly with a blade, "The concubine is outside, and I dare not forget the queen's kindness, so I pray every day, and offer Buddha beads to conlight in front of the Buddha, hoping that one day I can give it to my mother and bless my mother with good health." She took out a string of Buddhist beads from the brocade box in Liuzhu's hand, handed it to the queen, and read the last two words very seriously.

The queen's face stiffened slightly, and she smiled in an instant, took the Buddha bead and said, "Concubine Xi has a heart." In fact, things are secondary, and the most important thing is that my sister is smart, and I know that one day I will be able to meet this palace. ”

The two fought openly and secretly, and were interrupted by Huichun walking in with a freshly picked peony: "Please ask the queen to make hairpins." ”

The queen didn't move, Zhen Huan got up suddenly, picked up a full hairpin and put it between the queen's sideburns.

"Concubine Xi's rules for serving the hairpin flowers in the palace are not wrong at all." The queen helped the peony in her hair, raised her lips and chuckled, laughing at her that even if she returned to the palace, she could only perform the concubine in front of her.

Zhen Huan just smiled calmly: "It is right to serve the mother, and the concubines dare not forget the rules." ”

"After a few years, looking at Concubine Xi's appearance has not changed a bit, it seems to be more charming." The queen sighed meaningfully, with a shallow smile on her face, but her eyes were gloomy, "It's really like Concubine Xi in a hurry, it's not like this palace, and people are old and yellow." ”

"The queen's mother is the world, like this peony, graceful and luxurious, I don't know why the mother said such sad words." Zhen Huan looked at her coldly, pretending to flatter.

The queen sneered: "What about the peony? With her, any flower will bloom and be thankful, just sooner or later. She looked at Zhen Huan with a smile, "In the years that you have been in the palace, there have been many flowers in the palace, but now you see, how many are still blooming?" The world is impermanent, feng shui rotates, and the undefeated hibiscus flowers are now gone. ”

Zhen Huan said what the queen meant, the smile on the corner of her mouth stiffened for a moment, and then raised a deep smile.

"Niangniang, the concubines of the palace have come to ask for peace, and they are already waiting outside." Jianqiu came in to report.

"Concubine Xi, let's go together." The queen looked at Zhen Huan and said with a smile.

Zhen Huan smiled without saying a word, got up and drove with her.

There are indeed many new people in the palace, and there are also many old people.

Zhen Huan sat in the first seat on the left, looked around, and for a while, her heart was full of emotion. Concubine Duan was still sick, Concubine Jing sat opposite Zhen Huan, and then down to Concubine Qi, Concubine Jin, and Kang Chang, and behind Zhen Huan sat Shen Meizhuang, Xin Guiren, and Shun Guiren.

Before everyone sat down, the queen opened her mouth slowly: "Now that Concubine Xi is back, Concubine Hui, you also have to take Princess Haoyue to take Princess Haoyue to the palace of Concubine Xi, in the end, Concubine Xi is the biological mother of Haoyue, and after Concubine Xi gives birth, Princess Haoyue should also be sent back to Yongshou Palace." No matter how close you are, you can't compare to other people's mothers. ”

The queen wanted to use this to provoke Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan, but she didn't know that Shen Meizhuang was good to Haoyue, always because she was Zhen Huan's daughter, and there was no situation where she wanted to forcibly seize Haoyue with Zhen Huan.

Shen Meizhuang got up and saluted: "Yes, the concubine is planning to take Haoyue to Yongshou Palace to recognize Concubine Xi today, and Queen Lao is worried." She lowered her eyes and looked at Zhen Huan, and the two of them smiled in unison.

"Concubine Hui and Concubine Xi haven't seen each other for many years, and the sisterhood is as deep as it was back then." There was almost inaudible sarcasm in the queen's tone.

Zhen Huan returned to the palace, playing the banner of going out of the palace to pray for blessings after giving birth to the fourth elder brother, and even the age was increased by ten years, but the old people here knew that this was not the case, this statement was just to deceive the newcomer, the queen said that Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang had a deep sisterhood, in fact, it was an allusion to the fact that the two were the same age, and specifically mentioned the difference between relatives and mothers, just to tear off the fig leaf of Zhen Huan's return to the palace.

Sure enough, Concubine Jin glanced at Zhen Huan suspiciously, and Kang Chang leaned over to chew the root of his tongue: "I heard that Concubine Xi is the concubine who was deposed from the palace back then." ”

Concubine Jin's eyebrows jumped, and she didn't plan to say much about it, she just knew it in her heart: "Is it what, whoever the emperor says she is, is who she is." ”

The voices of the two were very low and not heard, and the queen quickly changed the topic: "By the way, what about Ning Chang?" Why didn't you come today? ”

"Ning Chang is unwell today, because he can't come to ask the queen mother for peace, and ask the mother to forgive me." Shun Guiren opened his mouth to explain, because of their similar temperaments, only she and Ye Lanyi could say a few words in the palace.

The queen was accustomed to it: "Since she is not feeling well, let the imperial doctor take good care of her." He turned to look at Zhen Huan, "Concubine Xi, you are pregnant, you must take good care of your body, you have to rest more, move around less, and all the etiquette that can be avoided will be waived." ”

Zhen Huan was carefully looking at Concubine Qi with her spare eyes, and was named by the queen before she came back to her senses, got up and saluted to thank her.

After saying nothing for a while, the queen made everyone kneel down.

In the later stage, Zhen Huan's role will increase, and Rong'er will go behind the scenes
