"In the life of the mourning family, I have never looked at anyone wrong, but I didn't expect it to come, and I actually saw the wrong eye. The mourning family thought that Concubine Xi was a fox, but they didn't expect her to be a wolf...... "After the queen mother learned that the emperor gave Zhen Yurao and Shen Beile marriage, she was so angry that her chest hurt for a while, coughing darkly, Zhu Xi was sad on the side, and the queen mother took a breath, "Zhu Xi, I'm afraid that the mourning family will not work, these days the mourning family is so sick that I am confused, but there is always a thought in my mind, the mourning family has been keeping Yixiu's position for the glory of the Wulanala clan and the Wuya clan, is it wrong?" ”

"The Queen Mother is naturally wrong." An Lingrong's voice suddenly sounded, she walked slowly to the Queen Mother step by step, looked at her deeply, and her eyes were dark as if they were secretive, "Wulana Layi Xiu killed the first queen first, and killed the concubines and heirs later, and the queen mother blindly protected her, is it for the glory of the Wulanala clan, or for the demise of the Aixinjue Luo clan?" Her position in the back of the middle palace has long been unworthy of the name. ”

The Queen Mother raised her hazy teary eyes, and it took a long time to see the person clearly, she slowly opened her eyes, as if she couldn't believe it: "Concubine Rong, you ......" After a long pause, she sighed and said angrily, "It's you." ”

An Lingrong retracted his sharp eyes and bowed: "The concubine asks the Queen Mother for peace." ”

The Queen Mother seemed to be very angry, held her breath and forcibly sat up, stared at An Lingrong, gritted her teeth and asked Zhuxi to go out first, and then looked at An Lingrong for a long time and didn't tell her to get up, but said in a deep voice: "The mourning family has always thought that you are well-behaved and sensible, gentle and obedient, and you are different from Concubine Xi, but I didn't expect that you hid deeper than her, for so many years, you have even deceived the mourning family, not to mention the emperor." Concubine Rong, you said that the queen's position in the middle palace is not worthy of the name, so who can be worthy of it? You? ”

"The concubine has never been delusional about the next throne." An Lingrong raised his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother calmly, "The concubine has nothing else to ask for, she just wants to live well in the palace, in order to avoid the edge, the concubine has never coveted the power of the six palaces, has the queen mother ever seen the concubine assistant to the six palaces?" She looked at the queen mother steadily, "The concubine only asks for the emperor's favor and protects the concubine to raise her children, but the queen wants to cross the thunder pool and attack the concubine's well-being, so you can't blame the concubine for not allowing her!" ”

In an instant, An Lingrong's hatred was monstrous, and under the well-behaved skin, there was violence and killing that had been silent for many years: "The Queen Mother must have persuaded the queen many times, right?" Did she ever give up? The children of the nobles of Fucha, the children of Concubine Xi, and the second elder brother of Queen Chunyuan were all killed in vain. She choked up, "There are also Xia Guiren and Concubine Qi, the queen will do whatever it takes to win the child, such a person, as a model for women in the world, is she worthy?" ”

"Don't you have human life in your hands?" The Queen Mother was also heartbroken when she heard her count, "Concubine Zhen, Concubine Min, and Concubine Min's children all died in your hands, right?" Three lives are enough for your well-being. ”

The Queen Mother suddenly realized that the queen may not be An Lingrong's opponent at all, An Lingrong is too well disguised, she has been in the palace for nearly ten years, no one knows that she has such a ruthless side, but she is afraid that it is Zhen Huan, and she has never seen it, not to mention, in the emperor's heart, the queen and An Lingrong are more important, the answer is obvious.

People's hearts are biased, if it really happens in the future, the queen mother doesn't have to think about it to know, the emperor will definitely keep An Lingrong and abandon the queen. Thinking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but leaned out slightly, with a hint of imperceptible begging in her voice: "Rong'er, let the queen go, at least, keep her posterior." ”

The implication is that you can kill the queen, but you can't encourage the queen.

An Lingrong had tears in her eyes, and shook her head resolutely and slowly, the candles in the dormitory were flickering, and a cluster of flames was lit under her eyes: "She may not be afraid of death, I want her to live better than to die, the queen's throne, the queen mother's honor, I have to crush it with my own hands to show her." ”

"You ......" The Queen Mother pointed at An Lingrong with trembling fingers, and couldn't help coughing violently.

An Lingrong was so calm that it was terrifying.

She thought for a long time, the queen has two very tough hole cards, one is the queen of Chunyuan, the other is the queen mother, the two cards of life and death, to protect her for many years in the harem to stand, to bring down the queen, strategy is one thing, the most important thing is to smash the queen's two hole cards, otherwise, there is always the possibility of a comeback.

To deal with the queen, you must hit it with one blow, so An Lingrong has been waiting, waiting for the day when the queen mother can't hold on.

"What the Queen Mother is worried about is nothing more than that after Yi Xiu's death, the glory of the Wulanala clan will be inherited, if the concubine promises to keep the throne of the Wulanala clan, is the Queen Mother willing to let go of the queen?" An Lingrong knelt on the ground, but pressed towards the Queen Mother like a mountain.

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what An Lingrong was talking about, she frowned in confusion: "But the third elder brother didn't accept the queen's niece, she ......" The queen mother paused suddenly, she suddenly realized, and murmured in a low voice, "Fourth elder brother...... Do you want to praise the fourth elder brother as the crown prince? ”

"Yes." An Lingrong nodded, "Although Wulanala Qingying is a side blessing, she is under the Fucha clan, and the concubine assures you that the queen's position will one day fall back into the hands of the Wulanala clan." Her face was full of determination, and she could not see the slightest trace of fraud.

The Queen Mother stared at An Lingrong for a long time, and after a long time, the air froze, and An Lingrong's feet were about to go numb, so she had a cold face and said in a very slow tone: "Okay." She closed her eyes, her breath suddenly languished, and she fell back to the bed heavily, tears slowly sliding down her cheeks, "These days, the mourning family dreams of Chunyuan every night, and I always feel indebted, so it's good to ......"

Before An Lingrong dragged her heavy legs out of Shoukang Palace, she specially told Zhou Nan: "No matter what, let the Queen Mother live until October twenty-seven, during this period, you can use any medicine." ”

"Yes, Wechen understands." Zhou Nan's expression was solemn.

In the blink of an eye, the moon circled again, when the Mid-Autumn Festival came, the queen mother was difficult to get up, the emperor was in a heavy mood, the queen had prepared a family banquet for more than half a month, and finally it could only end hastily, An Lingrong did not go to the Chonghua Palace, but also heard Xin Guiren say that the song "Evil" rehearsed by the third elder brother was often played by Ying, and I didn't feel a little strange.

But soon, she didn't have the heart to think about these things.

Ambihuai fell ill.

"Your Majesty ......" An Lingrong hurriedly came to the Heart Nourishing Palace, and shed tears before speaking.

"Rong'er, don't cry, I have already asked someone to pick up your father back to Beijing, and when the time comes, I will call Wen Shichu back to treat your father, don't worry, it will be fine." The emperor hurriedly grabbed her and coaxed softly, "Strange and weird, you should have let your father return to Beijing to take up his post a long time ago." ”

An Lingrong finally stopped crying, choked up and said: "The concubine has never asked about my father's officialdom, but ...... The Governor of the River would not have tired my father so much. ”

The emperor patted her on the back and gave her a smooth breath, and said slowly: "A few years ago, I implemented the integration of officials and gentry to pay food, in order to make those gentry and ordinary people obey the same conscription, pay grain and taxes, I let your father concurrently serve as the head of the household department, and run around for me, and it was only slightly effective at the beginning of the year. ”

"My father is very old, and I asked the emperor to remove him from his foreign post and return to Beijing to retire." An Lingrong wiped his tears and said, "It's really not good, it's good to be dismissed......

"This is a child's words, your father has made a lot of contributions, if I dismiss him for no reason, won't it provoke criticism from the government and the opposition?" The emperor didn't take it to heart, only when An Lingrong didn't understand the government and was worried about his father, he said, "I should come back at the beginning of spring next year, and now it's okay to come back early, when your family Jingxuanke is on the list, your father can take him with him in Beijing." ”

"Does the emperor know Brother Xuan'er?" An Lingrong's eyes were still red.

"A few days ago, Yunxi entered the palace to thank him and mentioned it to me." The emperor had a slight smile on his face, "He was full of praise for An Jingxuan, I made people pay attention, I didn't expect him to worship under Mr. Ji, don't you know, this Ji Hesheng has a strange temper, looks good at talking, but in fact he is very stubborn, I invited him to join the prince back then, he refused, he only thought about enjoying his old age, he can accept your brother, and it is outstanding to think that An Jingxuan is extraordinary." ”

"Brother Xuan is still young, maybe he just got the eyes of the old man, don't lift him up if the emperor doesn't lift him up." An Lingrong said with a real and false hatred, "The concubine has two younger brothers, Brother Ting is a stupid person, he can only do business, Brother Xuan is smarter, and the family has been looking forward to him taking the Jinshi Guangyao lintel for many years, I don't know how much effort it took before and after, if I can really get my wish, it doesn't matter if my father is idle at home." ”

The emperor didn't speak again, but just gave her a reassuring look.

On August 20, the draft kicked off the palace selection, and the emperor chose Dong E Jingyi as the third elder brother Hongshi Fujin, Zhong and Miao as his concubines, and pointed to Fucha Shuyao as the fourth elder brother Hongli's Fujin, and Wulanala Qingying as his side Fujin, and then ordered Song and Xiao as the promise, so he didn't choose any more.

"The Song family's appearance is mediocre, and it is better than being humble, but the Xiao family is beautiful, and the emperor took a fancy to it at a glance, and he also gave the word Min as a title." Zhen Huan took off her fancy clothes and came to talk to An Lingrong about today's battle situation, "But both of them don't have obvious family backgrounds, I hope they can be settled down after entering the palace." ”

"Sister has worked hard." An Lingrong was lacking in interest.

"Still worried about Uncle An?" Zhen Huan saw her thoughts at a glance and said with relief, "Don't worry, the emperor has already sent a doctor to your mansion, and when Uncle An arrives in the capital, he will definitely be cured." ”

An Lingrong tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled reluctantly.

An Bihuai arrived in the capital before the autumn, at that time, just after the imperial examination, An Jingxuan lived up to his expectations and won a list of jinshi, ranking seventeenth, An Lingrong let go to the mansion with a thick gift, and specially explained that Zhao Xuan should not put on a feast and take care of An Bihuai's illness.

This day is the day when Min promised and Song promised to meet in the palace.

"The happy event of the An family is coming, Concubine Rong rarely shows up today, and I haven't seen you in this palace for many days." The queen's face was not very good, and the heavy fat powder could not hide her haggardness, but her smile was as dignified and dignified as ever, perhaps for today's newcomers, she was dressed particularly noble, in order to hide the fact that she was unwell.

An Lingrong smiled lightly: "The concubine is lazy, and she doesn't like to go out on weekdays, don't blame the queen." ”

"This month, Concubine Jin hasn't come to say hello for a day." Concubine Jing said with a smile on the side, "The queen mother has always treated everyone equally, how can she blame you, concubine?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhen Huan was late, walked in with a smile and said, "This palace is late." She saluted slowly to the queen, "Say hello to the queen, and the queen will be blessed." ”

The queen secretly took a breath, called to get up, and then raised her eyes to look around, her mood was extremely heavy, looking around, she had no one available, although Concubine Jin was not smart, but in the end she was obedient, and it depends on the qualifications of these two new entrants to the palace.

However, after the visit, the queen was disappointed.

Song promised to be cowardly, and Sun promised to be a virtue, the queen gave up on her just by looking at it, and Min promised to be too beautiful, surrounded by a group of concubines, she also stood out, that is, Ying Changzai, who had just entered the palace, was robbed of her brilliance, she was so beautiful that she hooked people's souls, her red lips were plump, and her eyes were like silk, even if she kept the rules and followed the etiquette, the enchanting was still lingering, and the queen was disliked at first glance.

No wonder the emperor fell in love with it at a glance.

An Lingrong took a sip of tea slowly, raised his head and glanced at Zhen Huan, and there was helplessness in each other's eyes. (End of chapter)
