"With this scolding time, it's better to drink a few more bowls of brown rice and barley soup to cure the nightmare." Zhen Huan's voice was a little mocking with a smile, and then the footsteps gradually walked away.

Concubine Qi was so frightened that she covered her mouth, standing in place and not daring to move.

An Lingrong narrowed his eyes and smiled sarcastically: "Honghao, this kind of person is called bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, he is a straw bag who is fierce and inward-looking, and he must not be with him, remember?" ”

"Hmm." The seventh elder brother nodded.

After turning this corner, the vision suddenly became clear, An Lingrong walked to the fork in the road with a smile, and collided with Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang: "Concubine Xi is so powerful, but it is admired by the palace." ”

"Concubine Niangniang Jin'an." Zhen Huan bowed shallowly, with a smile in her eyebrows, "Niangniang said she laughed." ”

"The weather is good today, I asked Concubine Jing to go to Qianli Pond, and it just so happens that the fourth elder brother is also there, why don't you go and call Haoyue sister? It's rare to get the kids together. An Lingrong retracted his gaze and looked at Shen Meizhuang, and said with a smile.

Shen Meizhuang saw An Lingrong hugging the Seventh Elder Brother, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, this morning Dill sent someone to tell her that An Lingrong had signs of recovery, she still didn't believe it, she wanted to go to Weiyang Palace in person later to see, and now she saw An Lingrong and the Seventh Elder Brother getting along with her own eyes, so she believed it. Her eyebrows were dyed with joy: "Okay, then you and Huan'er go first, and I'll come immediately." With that, he hurried away.

An Lingrong and Zhen Huan went to Qianli Pond first, and Concubine Jing had already arrived at that time, and the sixth elder brother saw An Lingrong and hurriedly ran over to ask for peace.

"The sixth elder brother is getting stronger and stronger, and Rong Niangniang can't hold it anymore." An Lingrong put down the seventh elder brother, reached out to touch the sixth elder brother, and touched his head with a smile.

The sixth elder brother was satisfied, and pulled the seventh elder brother to feed the koi.

Zhen Huan glanced at the fourth elder brother who was eager to try, and nodded at him: "You haven't been back to the palace for a long time, it's rare to have a chance to get together with your brothers once, go play, and watch some younger brothers." ”

The fourth elder brother was delighted: "Yes." Since he can remember, he has been raised in the Old Summer Palace, since he was a child, he knew that he was different from the third elder brother raised in the palace, such an idea became more and more prominent as he grew older, even if he lives in the palace now, with a new mother, the lack in his heart still cannot be filled.

The soft and small seventh elder brother and the ignorant and immature sixth elder brother all looked up at him, but they hit his heart all of a sudden.

These are his brothers.

My brother who is connected by blood.

"Concubine Qi is a brainless person, it's just right to use her to pave the way." Zhen Huan and An Lingrong sat down at the prepared round table, looked at the three children from afar, and after retiring the people who served, she said, "Xingui's character is not bad, she is a usable person, as for whether it is good or not, it depends on whether she can bring down Concubine Qi this time." ”

"Sister already has a countermeasure?" An Lingrong was a little surprised. Zhen Huan has only been back in the palace for four days, and she is already ready to take the Qi concubine under the knife, and her actions are inevitably too fast.

"I didn't plan to take her down with such a trivial matter, but I just made her suffer a little." Zhen Huan shook the fan with a smile and said, "She must have a grudge against the brown rice barley soup today, as long as she takes advantage of this, it will be okay for her to fall." ”

An Lingrong raised the teacup and saluted from afar: "Then I wish my sister success." Instead, he said, "However, the matter of Concubine Qi is secondary, and the important thing is my sister's dragon fetus." She lowered her eyes and looked at Zhen Huan's belly, "The further you get pregnant, the faster the growth of your pregnant belly, one day at a time, can my sister think of a countermeasure?" ”

"Wen Shichu said that my baby may be twins." Zhen Huan touched her stomach and sighed softly, "I hope I can use this to fool the past." ”

An Lingrong's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a low voice: "That sister has to seize the opportunity, only if the handle of the knife is in her hand, the tip of the knife will not stab herself." She stared at Zhen Huan's eyes and said slowly, "The rumors in the palace have always killed people invisibly. ”

"You mean, actively spreading rumors in order to confuse the public?" Zhen Huan's mind flashed with inspiration, and suddenly a smile appeared, "The queen will definitely spare no effort to splash dirty water on me, so I will endure it until the day when the melon is ripe and falls, and see how the queen will react at that time." ”

An Ling smiled clearly: "I'm afraid she couldn't have guessed that my sister's womb would be two children." Then he frowned, revealing a somewhat worried look, "It's just that I heard that twins are mostly born prematurely, and if my sister wants to hide it well, she must be pregnant until full-term, but she can't raise the child too big, and it's not good if she doesn't come down in life." ”

Zhen Huan glanced at Cardamom and said, "Cardamom should have a lot of folk ancient recipes in his hands, right?" If I can't hold it anymore at a critical moment, can I get her to use a medicine? I estimate that it will be much more difficult to protect the baby after term. ”

An Lingrong pondered for a long time, beckoned Cardamom over, and asked carefully.

"The slave can mix potions to protect the fetus for the mother for a month." Cardamom didn't say a word, "It's just that this medicine has a certain amount of damage to the mother's body, and the mother needs to take care of it for two or three years after using it. ”

"Yes, it's fine." Zhen Huan calmed down and smiled slowly, "Don't worry, this palace knows the severity." ”

"You two fell in love, I just walked away for a while, so it's okay." Shen Meizhuang led Haoyue from a distance and walked in front of the two with a smile.

An Lingrong glanced at Zhen Huan, looked at her and smiled: "Yes, my sister and I hit it off at first sight." ”

On this day, An Lingrong was reading the "Three Character Classic" to the seventh elder brother, and the soft tone was like a nursery rhyme before going to bed.

When Cardamom came in, Ju Qing was holding the Seventh Elder Brother and preparing to go back to the dormitory to sleep.

"What's wrong?" An Lingrong closed the book and asked.

"Niangniang, Concubine Qi has been demoted to a nobleman." Cardamom said two steps forward.

An Lingrong raised his eyebrows in some surprise: "So fast? Let's talk about it in detail and listen to it with this palace. ”

"After Concubine Qi was caught by Concubine Xi a few days ago, the emperor didn't see her much, so she excused herself from being unhappy and asked people to invite the emperor." Cardamom said from the beginning, "At that time, the emperor was accompanying Concubine Xi to have lunch, and she didn't want to go, but Concubine Xi said that although Concubine Qi had a strong temperament, she was not easy to cry out for pain, and coaxed the emperor to go to Chuxiu Palace, but as soon as she got there, she saw Concubine Qi scolding and whipping the palace people, and she was still Pei'er next to Xin Guiren, and the emperor asked what was going on, but Qi Concubine refused to say, and Xin Guiren was on the side for her. ”

Hearing this, Dill sneered: "How dare Concubine Qi say it?" She wasn't sick at all, but she just pretended to hook the emperor to see her, which is a big deal, but it is a bully. ”

"Yes, so Concubine Qi didn't dare to say it." Cardamom nodded and continued, "When Xin Guiren said, he deliberately mentioned that Pei'er was the palace maid who served beside Concubine Xi, so as to prove that Concubine Qi resented Concubine Xi, and the emperor was angry, and scolded Concubine Qi for not caring for the palace people, committing the three major crimes of being disrespectful to the palace people, and committing the three major crimes of not respecting the above, and then surrendered to a nobleman, and moved to Jiaolu Pavilion to think about it behind closed doors. ”

"It's a pretty good show." An Lingrong laughed twice after hearing this, "I have to go and ask the queen to say goodbye, otherwise I won't see her deflated expression." She took a sip of tea and raised her eyes to look at dill, "Tell me to go down, let everyone talk about whether the fetus in Concubine Xi's womb may not be the emperor's own child, seeing that the belly is much bigger than that of ordinary women, remember, you must pass the word to the queen's ears." ”

This recruitment is a risky move, or the incident between Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu woke up An Lingrong, sometimes, the most dangerous is the safest.

The next day, the queen sat on the upper seat with a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "The royal family attaches great importance to the emperor's heir, and you must take it as a warning to the affairs of the nobles, and don't follow in her footsteps." She looked at Zhen Huan, "Concubine Xi, you are pregnant, it is better to avoid the recent greetings, and it is important to stay in Yongshou Palace to have a good baby." ”

"Thank you for the queen's care, everything is fine with the concubine." Zhen Huan behaved humbly and respectfully, with a faint smile on her face, "The queen mother is the lord of the middle palace, how can the concubine not come to ask An to visit?" ”

An Lingrong on the side also said with a smile: "The concubine has been sick for several days, and I haven't seen the queen for a long time, so I miss it tightly." Niangniang is in charge of the six palaces, trivial matters are complicated, and people are a lot haggard, Aunt Jianqiu should bother more, and give Niangniang a good condition. ”

"It's been a long time since I saw the concubine." The queen's eyebrows jumped, and she only felt that she was going to have a headache attack in the next second, "Concubine Xi just returned to the palace, and the concubine's illness was cured, which is really gratifying." ”

Under the seat, An Lingrong sat first on the left, dressed in a smoky purple Shu brocade robe, embroidered with gold and silver threads with large pieces of pink hibiscus, restrained and luxurious, full of pearls and emeralds, simple and generous, low eyebrows and a shallow smile full of gentleness. Zhen Huan sat first on her right hand, her red lips were like flames, and her face was so beautiful that she was touching, and a yellow forging colorful butterfly skirt couldn't suppress her beauty, and when she raised her eyes to look over, her eyes were sharp that couldn't be hidden.

This left and right, light makeup and heavy makeup, are like two mountains, pressing the queen with nowhere to escape.

The queen glanced up, and suddenly found that the current situation was particularly unfavorable for herself, in just a few months, she had damaged the four chess pieces of Concubine Qi, Concubine Min, Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Qi.

Concubine Rong was not sick at all!

The queen clenched her fists hard and scolded herself for being careless. Because of the matter of the third elder brother, she was carried away by the victory in front of her, but the paralysis and relaxation for a moment gave An Lingrong room to play, she was sure that Concubine Qi's chestnut cake was transferred to Concubine Min, An Lingrong must have done something in it, but now she realized that it was too late.

There is also a concubine, An Lingrong must have found out early that it was her hand on An Kang, so he quietly ended her, no, I am afraid that the concubine will fall out of favor on purpose, in order to let herself ignore the concubine so that she can attack her. The queen managed to calm down and looked at An Lingrong as if she were looking at a flood beast.

However, she forgot that it was the other side that threatened her even more now.

"What's wrong with the Queen? Suddenly, his face became so ugly. Zhen Huan opened her mouth to care, interrupting the queen's thoughts.

The queen couldn't help but jump her temples fiercely, and raised her hand to endure the pain in the back of her head: "The palace is fine, Concubine Xi has a heart." ”

This is really a dilemma with wolves in front and tigers in the back.

That night, the queen fell ill with a head wind, and seemed to be very sick, and this time she took the initiative to give power to Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing, so that they could temporarily act as assistants of the power of the six palaces.

"The queen's move is unexpected, she is such a hegemonic person, she is willing to let go of power." An Lingrong couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard the news.

"It means that she is being forced to the point where there is no way out." Zhen Huan drank the fetal pill and took a sip of candied fruit in her mouth, "She asked Concubine Duan to assist Concubine Jing in the Sixth Palace, I'm afraid she also has the intention of wooing, Concubine Jing is okay to say, with her friendship with us, she may not be close to the queen, but Concubine Duan...... I had only a few acquaintances with her before, but I also knew that she was not the kind of person who would bend her waist for power, but I didn't know what her relationship with the queen was. ”

An Lingrong shook his head with a smile, and said firmly: "In this palace, I'm afraid that I can't find someone who knows the queen better than Concubine Duan, she is upright, she has always only spoken fairly, and my sister doesn't have to deliberately win her over, when the time comes, she will help her sister." Taking a sip of tea, she winked at Zhen Huan, "It's the queen, she is retreating with this move, I'm afraid she doesn't hold back some bad ideas." ”

"It's time for the rumors to spread." Zhen Huan touched her growing belly and whispered with her eyes.
