Chapter 135 An Lingrong 76
However, in one night, the Empress, who had always been weak and gentle, actually dug out all the shocking information from Song Dekang's mouth. She even used some means to make another maid named Lingzhi vomit a lot of things because he was following Concubine Hua.
From big to small, there are dozens of items in total, which are indeed worthy of her youth and style.
After the emperor demoted her to a concubine, he still kept Zhi Concubine to continue serving Nian Concubine as a maid, and even let her continue to live in the Yiku Palace.
However, Concubine Cao, who had made a meritorious report, became Concubine Xiang. Looking at Cao Qinmo's unconcealable happiness, Lingrong felt that the feng shui of the Forbidden City was weird.
It seems that once everyone is successful, they will forget themselves.
Or perhaps it was because people's hearts, which had been suppressed for so long, were finally liberated and their hearts, which had been twisted for so long, could no longer stop going crazy.
Apart from this, only the Concubine Qi, who was about to enter the palace, attracted everyone's attention. Everyone understood that as long as this Concubine Qi was not too stupid or ugly, she would at least be favored for a while.
After the first snow, Zhen Huan was taking a walk with the idle Ling Rong.
"It's really strange. Concubine Jing, Sister Meizhuang, and you are all in charge of palace affairs. How come they are so busy that you can't find them anywhere, while you look so leisurely?" Zhen Huan felt helpless when she saw that she even had the mind to order Ziyuan and Liuzhu to collect snow water from various plants.
Unfortunately, both of them were playful and ran away hand in hand in high spirits, which only made her feel more helpless.
"You're just bullying these two simple-minded people. There's so much grass, trees, and snow water, and they have to collect it separately. Who knows how long it will take them to get it."
"What's the big deal? It's free no matter how much you get. They should even thank me for letting them go out and have fun." Ling Rong didn't care. She smiled and pulled her to the pavilion in front.
"Most of the palace duties assigned to me by the Empress are related to accounting. Coincidentally, Biqing and Ronglu from my palace need help. Doesn't this give them a chance to share the burden?"
Ling Rong smiled and pointed at Bao Juan behind her: "That's why I brought them along these two days."
"Are you confident in leaving this matter to them?"
"What is there to worry about? Aren't the eunuchs in the Imperial Household Department also servants? Aren't they in charge of various places?" Lingrong looked at Baojuan, who used to be always picky and competitive in front of her, but now she was calm, well-behaved and considerate. When she saw her reaching out her hand, she immediately took the hand warmer and nodded with satisfaction.
"Precisely because these are small matters, we need to train them more. Otherwise, even the strongest body can't handle doing everything by themselves."
Seeing Baojuan tremble slightly after hearing about the experience, Lingrong's smile became more mysterious.
Zhen Huan, who was standing by, was thoughtful. "Rong'er, what you said is true. For example, I always thought Jingxi was useful, so I gave her everything. But later I found that although Juqing and Liuzhu were young, they also had their own advantages. Everyone should do their job well and everything should be used to its full potential. Huan'er, I'll learn from this."
"Sister, you're joking."
"What are the two sisters talking about?"
Just as they were chatting happily, they suddenly heard Xiangpin's voice from behind. They looked and saw that it was Xiangpin who had brought Wen Yi here to play.
"Greetings to Concubine Yi."
"That's not necessary."
After seeing her exchange greetings with herself and then taking Zhen Huan's hand to exchange greetings affectionately, Lingrong guessed that her appetite had been developed and she had forgotten her previous caution and was about to hint to Zhen Huan about the benefits of the concubine position.
Greed is indeed a good drug to destroy people.
Lingrong did not respond to Zhen Huan's explanation of helping her.
There was nothing wrong with Zhen Huan's explanation, but what the emperor wanted was not Concubine Xiang to help him get rid of Nian Shilan, but a warning and ridicule.
"Are you okay?"
Suddenly, there was a commotion coming from not far away. Xiangpin looked and saw her daughter lying in Concubine Duan's arms. She immediately threw her greed behind her and ran towards her daughter, stepping deep and shallow in the snow.
"Wen Yi, damn Wen Yi, are you hurt anywhere?"
"I just caught her, I think she's fine." Concubine Duan said weakly, looking at Wen Yi with gentle and passionate eyes.
"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty. What are you doing? You can't even take care of a child. If anything happens to the princess, can you afford it?"
Cao Qinmo thanked him with lingering fear, then turned around and started scolding the group of servants who were taking care of him.
"Although he didn't fall, his clothes were still wet. Concubine Xiang, you should take the child to change clothes first." As Concubine Duan was speaking, she saw Wen Yi coming over and gently kissing her on the face.
"Wen Yi likes the Empress very much."
"I like little Wen Yi too." Concubine Duan's eyes lit up. Holding the little child in her arms, she felt her heart was full.
"Your Majesty's shoes and socks are wet. This place is not far from the Suiyu Pavilion. Why don't you go to my palace to change clothes first?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Duan smiled even more deeply: "Okay."
After everyone helped her up, Ling Rong said, "Hua'er should be awake by now. I will return to the palace first."
Seeing Zhen Huan and Concubine Duan leave hand in hand first, Ling Rong turned to look at Concubine Xiang and said, "We're going the same way, why don't we go together?"
Cao Qinmo's mind raced, and a warm smile immediately appeared on her face. "That's great. I've always admired Her Majesty Yi, and it's my honor to be able to travel with Her Majesty."
As she spoke, she ordered people to wrap her daughter tightly with a cloak, and then let them hold her daughter in their arms, and then she set off with Concubine Yi.
"I wonder if Your Majesty has anything to teach me?" Looking at the palace maids behind them, Cao Qinmo asked Lingrong. However, the calculation in her eyes and eyebrows revealed her ambition to raise the price at any time.
"Put aside your calculations. I'm not asking you to do anything for me."
Lingrong exposed her plan without hesitation. Seeing that she was embarrassed but unconvinced, Lingrong whispered, "A first birthday banquet, stunning dance."
"...Your servant does not understand what Empress Yifei means." Cao Qinmo was startled by these six words, but she felt that with An Lingrong's strength, this should not be the case. The uneasiness in her heart made her even her tentative tone stiff.
"Xiangpin is really brave, or maybe Xiangpin is illiterate and regards writing poetry as a stunning dance?" Lingrong's cold voice exploded in Xiangpin's ears like thunder.
"It's you! No, this is impossible. How did you do it?" Under such a shock, Xiangpin subconsciously asked the question that had been bothering her all these years.
It was obvious that she had put the note that framed Zhen Huan in her sleeve a long time ago. All the props had never been lent to anyone else. She even checked them before going on stage. It was the Jinghong Dance. God knows what she thought when she opened it and saw the words "write a poem".
At the time, she suspected it was the Queen's doing, and she also thought it was Yinxiu, her close friend, who had betrayed her. But even so, there were many irrational reasons. Over the years, she even thought it was ghosts and sorcery, but she never imagined it was An Lingrong, the unassuming person who always accompanied Zhen Huan and the others!
Yes, Zhen Huan, Chen Meizhuang, and others worked very hard but could not get promoted as fast as she did. Even Zhen Huan was still only a concubine, but she had become a concubine as the daughter of an eighth-rank county magistrate!
