Chapter 138 An Lingrong 79
After hearing this, Lingrong subconsciously asked someone to take her son away first.
The emperor muttered a little when he saw his son being picked up, and subconsciously remained quiet, watching the wet nurse take his son away with a somewhat stiff look.
"It's better not to let Hua'er hear these things for now. He can remember things now, and he'll inevitably bring some of them up when he talks about them in the future. It won't be good if it changes his temperament."
Seeing the emperor turn around and look at her, Lingrong explained. Yinzhen did not agree with her cautious attitude towards her son, but he also understood her mother's psychology, so he nodded and continued to talk about what had just happened:
"Two days ago, Nian Gengyao was on his 37th day of mourning. Nian was feeling down for a while and didn't want to clash with the new noblewoman Qi." Yinzhen's tone was slightly dissatisfied. "Somehow, this matter got to the Queen's ears. She brought it up in public that day, causing many concubines to complain."
"It's no wonder. Back then, Nian was a bit strict in managing the harem, so it's inevitable that the concubines would have some complaints." Lingrong followed with some advice and handed the tea forward.
Yinzhen naturally understood: "I also understand their hard work over the years, but Concubine Jin said that I should sentence Nian to death." After saying this, he drank the tea without any expression and placed the tea bowl heavily on the table.
"As for Concubine Xiang, if we talk about the people who have suffered the most, besides the three of you, it is she who has been with Nian the longest and suffered the most, yet she still remembers her gratitude for Nian's kindness in the past."
Lingrong rolled her eyes in her heart in annoyance, oh, so you old man know that I have suffered.
"If that's the case, Concubine Xiang... is quite rare."
"Yes, she has lived up to the title I gave her." After the emperor said this, he casually complained to Lingrong that the new noble lady Qi was too spoiled and gave him a headache.
Oh, don't you like this?
Smart, beautiful and talented and smart, beautiful but brainless.
"Is that so? I have seen her diligently paying her respects to the Empress every day. I have heard that she goes before daybreak."
As the two were talking, they suddenly saw Wuxue and Sanbao flying in one after another and landing on Lingrong's shoulders.
"These two birds seem to be free and easy, and things follow their owners." As soon as Yinzhen raised his hand, Wuxue immediately jumped onto his palm and rubbed his fingers on its own initiative.
The emperor held the warm little bird in his palm and suddenly seemed to remember something: "A few days ago, Vietnam sent a pair of white peacocks as tribute. I think they suit your temperament very well. Chengqian Palace is also very spacious. I will assign two young eunuchs to serve them tomorrow. You don't have to worry about it anymore."
"Then I will accept the emperor's grace?" Lingrong agreed with a smile. She had completely accepted Yinzhen's occasional rewards.
…
As the new year is approaching, Concubine Jin and Noble Lady Qi seem to be competing with each other and are more active than each other in going to the Queen's Palace. The Queen seems distressed every time, but in fact she has played the role of the mother of the country no less than a hundred times, but she still enjoys it.
Finally, she was willing to let Lingrong go and take them to see a play together.
Unfortunately, she preferred watching the fire burn down the Jade Pavilion to watching the witticisms. Ling Rong declined the Queen's invitation on the grounds that her son had a cough.
When Zhen Huan heard about this, she did not call her to Sui Yuxuan for a chat.
When night fell, a sound of "water leaking" that pierced the sky actually reached her.
Lingrong hurried out to check, and then sent Xiaojinzi to inquire.
"Your Majesty, yes, yes..." Little Jinzi carefully looked at his master, not daring to hide anything, "It seems that there is a fire at Suiyuxuan."
"Hurry up and prepare the sedan chair. I have to go to Suiyuxuan now!" An Lingrong's words were unquestionable. If she was any later, she would not be able to watch the last episode.
No one dared to disobey, and hurriedly prepared the sedan chair and walked quickly towards the Suiyu Pavilion.
When Lingrong arrived, she saw Zhen Huan and Meizhuang being rescued. She quickly stepped down from the sedan chair and hurried over to the two of them, asking, "How did it get like this?"
"Where is the chief eunuch of Suiyuxuan?" The emperor frowned and asked unhappily.
Xiao Yunzi hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was all due to my carelessness and negligence. However, I have already caught the arsonist."
As he spoke, he brought up a young eunuch.
"Are you saying this eunuch set the fire on purpose?"
"Exactly. I saw him acting suspiciously, so I detained him and questioned him. Unexpectedly, the eunuch turned and tried to run away. After I pinned him down, I found flint and kerosene on him, catching him red-handed."
The emperor glanced at the servant and felt that he looked familiar. "Which palace are you from?"
Su Peisheng took a look and said quickly: "Your Majesty, this is Su Xi who promised to the palace."
"I don't know how I offended this eunuch, and I ended up in such a disaster, and also implicated Concubine Qi and Concubine Hui. If not... I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see the Emperor today." Zhen Huan said, with fragile tears falling from the corners of her eyes, looking confused and frightened.
"And Sister Mei, her injury..."
Following Zhen Huan's words, the emperor saw the burn as big as a bowl at a glance, and his brows frowned even more tightly.
Noble Lady Qi was also fanning the flames. The Emperor remained silent for an unknown length of time before he spoke in a deep voice, "I have repeatedly tolerated her, but she has only become more vicious. Since this is the case, I must be merciless and tell the Empress that if it is confirmed that Nian was behind this, she will be executed without further questioning."
After saying this, he left the place and took Ling Rong away who was watching the show.
Huh? Huh? Why did this catch me again?
Lingrong inexplicably returned to the Yangxin Palace with the emperor, inexplicably took a nap there, and inexplicably came back with a bunch of rewards.
Forget it, I’m making a lot of money this time anyway.
Lingrong looked at the thick snow outside the window, listened to the news of Nian Shilan's death, and saw that the new year was about to begin.
"The day will come for you to be crowned as a concubine soon, right?" Mei Zhuang sat in the renovated Suiyuxuan with a smile on her face.
"I heard that the Queen also had a contribution to the title of Consort this time?" Ling Rong asked about the differences from her previous life.
Zhen Huan sat there and smiled, "Yes, the Empress is kind. She said that since we are renovating the house, it is better to have good things in pairs to dispel the bad luck of the past year."
"It's mainly because of your father's meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion that the Empress was able to ask the Emperor for a title for you." Mei Zhuang also said, "Now that Concubine Qi has returned to Chuxiu Palace and Chun'er lives with me, you have even more free time here."
"When it comes to leisure time, who can compare to our Concubine Yi?" Zhen Huan felt a little embarrassed and turned the topic to Ling Rong.
Ling Rong waved her hand: "Me? I have no time to rest because of that little pony in the palace."
This made both of them laugh.
