Chapter 162 An Lingrong 103
In the Queen's Palace, Concubine Qi, Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Jin sat down in turn, and saw that the Queen, who was holding her forehead, looked tired.
Concubine Qi asked with concern, "Is your Majesty's headache still not healed? You look very haggard."
"Alas... Concubine Chun's child is gone again. How can I rest in peace? Concubine Noble is still young. How can she manage such a large harem so easily?" The Queen took a sip of tea, looking quite dignified and virtuous. "In the end, I will have to take care of everything for her."
"Your Majesty is the mistress of the six palaces and the mother of the country. She, a noble concubine, dares to get involved in the palace power and learn from what happened to Lady Nian in the past. Naturally, she will be disgraced." Concubine Zhen also rushed to please her. Her flattering face made Concubine Jin, who was the lowest among them, look down on her.
Seeing that the queen was obviously in a much better mood after being coaxed by them, Jinpin just found it ridiculous.
Don’t you know how many children died when you, Ulanara Yixiu, were the queen and in charge of the six palaces?
Not to mention that Concubine Yi was only assisting in the management of the six palaces, just take Concubine Chun's pregnancy as an example. Anyone with eyes could see that she wanted to give the baby to Concubine Hui, but you were the one who rushed to give it to Concubine Yi.
She's been protecting you all this way, but she died on the way to pay you her respects? Do you think everyone else is a fool? Didn't you see that even the Empress Dowager didn't blame the Imperial Concubine, and praised her for doing a good job, not to mention the Emperor who was already partial to her.
"The Emperor is afraid that Concubine Chun is heartbroken because she has lost her child. You must serve the Emperor well these days and give him a son as soon as possible." The Queen said this, her eyes turned to Concubine Jin who was sitting below her and remained silent, and she emphasized her tone:
"Especially Concubine Jin, how long has it been since the Emperor visited your palace? You and Concubine Yi were admitted to the palace at the same time, but look at you now. You're even worse than the newly promoted Concubine Ning."
Jinpin was not angry, she just stood up and said: "Your Highness, the Queen is right. I will work hard."
Now that she has been with the queen, she has seen through her. This woman is a person who only favors those who are favored, but she will not allow those around her to get pregnant.
Oh, just be a favorite concubine without children. Once the emperor is gone, no... as long as the emperor completely forgets them, I am afraid that people like them will not even be as good as Concubine Xin.
I am a member of the Fucha clan. Even if I am a branch of the family, I am not someone that the queen can summon and dismiss at will.
Jinpin thought about the baby she had conceived with great difficulty. She couldn't wait to tell the Queen, hoping to get her attention. Haha... she was so stupid.
Concubine Jin touched the jade ring given to her by the Queen without leaving any trace, as well as the red jade beads on Concubine Qi's neck and Concubine Zhen's agate ring. She felt that the woman in front of her was like a demon from hell, which made her feel terrified.
………
Here, the emperor was comforting Lingrong about Concubine Chun's abortion.
"It's unfortunate for Concubine Chun. You have put so much thought into her these days, but you still couldn't keep the child. You can only blame them for not being destined to be mother and child. Why should you worry too much about it?" The emperor looked at Ling Rong, who looked a little depressed, and regretted that he had agreed to the queen to let the imperial concubine take care of Concubine Chun's pregnancy.
Rong'er is kind-hearted. Although Chun Guiren's miscarriage had nothing to do with her, she couldn't help but blame herself and took the blame.
An Lingrong almost couldn't maintain her worried expression.
Although she did it on purpose to prevent the emperor from handing over another concubine's fetus to her, the emperor's words of comfort were too mean.
What do you mean by "unlucky"? So, if a girl desperately tries to get pregnant and give birth to a child for him, and then the baby doesn't come out, then she's unlucky? Oh my god, the more I hear that, the more suffocating I feel.
No way, no way? He doesn't think that comforting others like this is very sweet, right? Ugh, ugh, ugh.
Ling Rong cursed the dog emperor in her heart, then spoke softly: "After all, it was me who didn't stop her. The Queen didn't say she had to go. I should have gone to persuade her that day."
"This is also the Queen's fault. She had originally said that Concubine Chun should take good care of her pregnancy, but she sent someone to invite Concubine Chun to enjoy the flowers. That Concubine Chun is definitely not going to sit idle."
When the emperor said this, his dissatisfaction with the queen increased a little.
"Your Majesty, calm down. The Empress also wanted everyone to come out and relax, so she dragged her sick body..."
"If you're sick, you should rest!" The emperor held her hand, his brows furrowed into the shape of a "川" character. "The court is busy now, and since she has a headache, she should rest. She's been doing this for no reason, causing so much trouble."
"emperor……"
The emperor looked down at Lingrong's earnest eyes and finally fell silent: "You always think of others, but you don't know that there are some ruthless people who not only don't know how to be grateful, but will resent you for not doing enough."
"I don't care about others. Everything I do is only for Your Majesty." Ling Rong smiled indifferently: "As long as Your Majesty is willing to accept my kindness, I will be happy to do so."
After seeing the emperor off, Baojuan, who was in charge of guarding the gate today, came in.
"Your Majesty..."
"What did Su Peisheng say?" An Lingrong half-leaned on the couch, and her lazy voice made Baojuan feel numb.
"Su Peisheng said that Cui Jinxi, who was with Mo Chou outside the palace, contacted him."
"After all these years, she finally figured it out." Ling Rong closed her eyes and twirled the ring on her finger. "Tell Su Peisheng to do everything according to Zhen Huan's request and help her return to the palace."
"Yes, my lady."
Baojuan bowed, turned around and left.
"How is Baoque doing recently?" Lingrong suddenly asked, causing Baojuan, who was about to leave, to pause.
"Your Majesty, Baoque hasn't looked well lately." Baojuan turned around and replied softly, "She seemed to have lost her appetite yesterday. She looked so thin that only bones were left. How pitiful..."
"Your methods are getting better and better." Ling Rong looked at her indifferent eyes and couldn't help but laugh: "She is now like a bird."
"Yes, I also think that she is much more docile now." Baojuan also laughed.
Ling Rong then waved her hand and said, "Take good care of it. I'll be able to use it in the future."
"Don't worry, Madam, I know what to do."
Baojuan bowed again and left slowly.
Not long after, it was heard that the emperor would go to Ganlu Temple to enjoy the spring scenery and pray for blessings on the day of the Dragon Raising its Head on February 2nd.
And alone.
Lingrong heard more details than the Queen. It was unknown what agreement Concubine Duan and Concubine Hui had reached. It was said that the Emperor decided to go to Ganlu Temple after meeting Concubine Hui who was playing with Longyue in the Imperial Garden.
Lingrong had just finished having a meal with her eldest son. The boy had grown up, and even though Lingrong was a noble concubine, she could not see him every day.
She naturally had no interest in this kind of gossip that she had already known about, so she immediately dismissed Ziyuan. Turning around, she saw her son looking at her intently.
"Mother, is Khan Ama..." Hongyao didn't finish his words, but both mother and son understood what he meant.
Ling Rong tidied her son's clothes and patted his forehead. "Whatever he wants to do is none of my business, and you don't have to worry about it either. Naturally, there are people who will worry about these dirty things."
It’s just a special game between a domineering emperor and a pretty nun. Just let that old guy have fun.
