Chapter 71 Going to Tangquan Palace Together

The word "Guang", which has the same pronunciation as Chunyuan, is given as a reward in various ways.

Although she was not fit to sleep with him during her illness, he never forgot to visit her from time to time. Not only did he transfer Fangruo to Suiyuxuan, he also took her to Tangquan Palace for a bath.

He said he wanted to take Zhen Huan with him just before leaving, which clearly showed that he was afraid that if he told the truth in advance, it would cause gossip and hinder his plan.

If the empress was not sensible, she could go to the palace with him and bathe in the Qingluan soup without causing any trouble to him.

But the queen is a person of broad-mindedness and will really help him.

As the Queen Mother was thinking, the Queen said, as she expected:

"Jianqiu, go tell the emperor that I am not feeling well and will not accompany him to the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"stop!"

The Queen Mother was a little unhappy. "If you don't go, the Emperor will bring a mere concubine to the palace. Wouldn't that make people talk about his stupidity?"

"Your Majesty is worried about the large number of people in the palace, so he brought her along..."

The Queen looked at the Queen Mother and hesitated to speak, "It's rare that the Emperor likes me, why should I bother to make him dislike me?"

"Can you do whatever you want if you like?"

The war in the northwest is tense. Even if we want to suppress Concubine Hua, we cannot disappoint the generals at this time.

What's more, if an emperor took Xiao Changzai to the temporary palace to bathe alone, how would people from the previous dynasty talk about the emperor if they knew about it?

What would the women in the harem think if they knew about this?

The Queen Mother felt that the Queen had lost her sense of propriety. "In the harem, there can only be people who are favored by different people, but there can no longer be one person who is favored exclusively!"

Sun Zhuxi looked at the emperor's intention and said, "The Empress Dowager is weak and is just right for a hot spring bath. We might as well take this opportunity to go together. If the Emperor and Empress go together, it will be known that they are filial."

"Go and pass on the imperial decree."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

"Then I will go back to the palace and prepare."

The embarrassment on the Queen's face after being reprimanded melted away when she saw the light the moment she walked out of Shoukang Palace.

Her goal was achieved.

Yikun Palace

Although there were new favorites constantly in the harem and the emperor had not come to the Yikun Palace for several days, no one dared to neglect Concubine Hua.

The greenhouse brought her the best flowers, and the yard was full of colorful flowers. Even the garden could not compare to the scenery here.

The Queen went to Shoukang Palace early in the morning and exempted the other palaces from paying respects. The concubines from each palace came to Concubine Hua.

The weather was nice, so we went to the yard to enjoy the flowers.

[In my last life, I was watching two poor and decrepit girls in the harem, and was teased by that bitch Zhen Huan in person, saying that the girl I liked, Shaoyao, was a monster with no character.]

Shen Meizhuang paused for a moment: Huan'er is too bold.

[This palace saw that she was very powerful and did not want to be favored, so she cried with an imperial physician in the inner palace: "Brother Shichu, Huan'er is scared."]

Shen Meizhuang was really not a romantic person. When she heard that Concubine Hua was deliberately imitating her, she couldn't help but tremble.

An Lingrong had never expected that the Sister Zhen she knew would be such a person in private, and she couldn't help but shudder.

【Now I want to show my favor, which is: "Master Wen, last time you had the choice of whether to use medicine, and so did I; this time, you have no choice whether to heal without leaving any traces, and so do I."】

[Is it shameless?! ]

Nian Shilan, who had spoken in a gentle tone just now, suddenly became fierce. Princess Shuhe and Lady Chun were playing at that time, and they made some noise.

An Lingrong was so shocked that she lost her grip: It's over.

Shen Meizhuang turned around, her face expressionless, and she spoke dignifiedly:

"Peony also has spiritual power. I know that the Queen likes it the most, so it bloomed especially early this year."

An Lingrong wanted to cry: Her Majesty just said that this was her favorite peony flower.

I gave it to her myself, what should I do?

Cao Qinmo held Wen Yi in her arms and took the opportunity to say, "Madam Hua Fei, the climate here is good and the flowers are blooming beautifully."

Xin Changzai said quickly, "How can it be that the local climate is good? It's clearly that the queen is blessed."

An Lingrong wanted to let go, but once she did, the flower could no longer stand.

The flower stem is broken.

"An Danying! You are so brave!"

Lipin had long disliked these newcomers, and now she had finally caught her chance. With just one word, she attracted everyone's attention.

"What's wrong?"

Nian Shilan frowned slightly, "What are you shouting?"

[Has Concubine Li gone mad before she even entered the cold palace? This scares me! ]

Lipin took An Lingrong's hand and complained, "Your Highness, Concubine Hua, I just saw An Lingrong doing something sneaky. Who knew she was secretly picking your favorite peony flowers."

An Lingrong quickly squatted down, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean it."

"You said you didn't mean it today, and you were able to pick the Queen's favorite flower. If you said you didn't mean it tomorrow, will you still be able to get ahead of her and ride on her head?"

"Lipin!"

[How rude of you to say that! How can a timid little bird like you ride on my head? Do you think I am someone who is easy to ride?]

Nian Shilan glared at her and said, "Don't lose your dignity for a flower!"

"For a flower? I'm going to say something I shouldn't say..."

Cao Qinmo was sharp-eyed. Seeing that Concubine Hua was in high spirits today, she was unwilling to care about it. She pulled Lipin and whispered, "Sister Lipin, this is in the Yikun Palace."

This is in the Yikun Palace, not the Jingren Palace. It would be fine if you were to cause trouble in front of the Empress, but if you insist on saying something you shouldn't in front of Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua will not be polite to you.

Lipin had followed Concubine Hua for many years, so she naturally knew this. However, she did not expect Concubine Hua to let An Lingrong off so easily, and she was still unwilling in her heart.

"It's just a flower. If you like it, take it home."

Nian Shilan gave her a look, indicating that the falling flower should be given to An Lingrong.

It is said that Songzhi is a person who changes with the situation. In fact, she is very simple. If her majesty doesn't like someone, even if he is the queen's person, she dare not take him seriously. If her majesty likes someone, even if he is just a servant, she will respect him.

"My lady, please get up." Song Zhi said.

After hearing this, Baozhen helped her young mistress up.

An Lingrong held the flowers in her hands, looking flattered and surprised:

"Empress Hua, this concubine..."

[No matter how much you like it, flowers will eventually wither. ]

[I don’t even care about the emperor now, let alone a mere flower. ]

[In this palace, nothing will ever truly belong to me, and nothing is worth cherishing.]

Nian Shilan looked at the flower in An Lingrong's hand and said, "People are like flowers, and flowers are like people. Instead of leaving it to people who don't know how to appreciate it, it's better to let it stay with people who like it, so that it won't be in vain to come to this world."

An Lingrong holds flowers: Follow the one you like...

Cao Qinmo immediately changed the subject, "I heard that the Emperor and Empress will leave for the Tangquan Palace in Changping in the afternoon."

Xin Chang smiled wickedly and tapped Cao Qinmo's arm with her handkerchief, "If you only bring the Empress with you, you might even bring back a little prince."

"Sister Xin, you should say less."

[The Emperor did not take the Empress alone, he took Zhen Huan alone.]

[Other people were carried to the bed by the emperor, but this bitch was different. The emperor wanted to bathe with her.]

[The little bird is nervous and afraid, and the dog emperor looks down on her a hundred times, so he wants to bring it out exactly as it is. Zhen Huan, that bitch, is nervous and afraid, so he wants to say, "Concubines are always afraid when they sleep with the emperor for the first time."]

【snort!】

[There is no one in the entire Qing Dynasty who is more hypocritical than him! ]

An Lingrong was still thinking about Concubine Hua's words "People are like flowers, and flowers are like people", and she heard the Empress complaining about her in her heart.

Full of warmth, beyond words.

Zhou Ninghai came in from outside. He bowed happily and said, "Your Majesty, I just received a message from outside asking you to pack your things and go to Tangquan Palace with the imperial carriage in the afternoon."

Nian Shilan: “?”

"What did you say?"
