Chapter 271 An Lingrong Goes Obsessed
An Lingrong really didn't understand. Her throat was just swollen from the chili peppers, so why did Wei Lin come to the Yanxi Palace every day?
I really have nothing to do. I might as well read more medical books and improve my medical skills.
However, how other people's career develops has nothing to do with her. An Lingrong thought about Wei Lin who had appeared frequently in the past two days and put the matter behind her.
There was a painting hidden in the silver bills that Miss Sun handed in these days. It was a painting of her mother holding her younger brother and Aunt Xiao feeding him.
My younger brother has grown rounder now, and when he smiles he has a pair of chubby dimples, which is so adorable.
However, An Bihuai doesn't have any dimples, and An Lingrong feels that her brother should look more like his biological mother.
When Miss Sun asked Songzhi to deliver the banknotes to her, she also handed over a letter, briefly explaining the situation of her mother and Aunt Xiao with her younger brother.
My mother is still taking the eye medicine, and now she has no major eye problems.
I heard that my mother has been working as a teacher in an embroidery workshop these days, teaching the ladies embroidery techniques and skills.
"Mother is really something. Her eyes have just been healed, but she doesn't even bother to take a good rest." An Lingrong frowned and said worriedly as she looked at Miss Sun's beautiful handwriting.
"My lady, don't worry. I'm sure Miss Sun will remind Madam An outside the palace. In my opinion, if Madam does nothing, her life will be uneasy." Baoque comforted.
Baoque was thinking in his heart that Lady An and Madam An were really mother and daughter, both of them were restless.
Miss An is busy from morning to night all day long, and only takes a cup of tea to rest and relax. It is understandable that Mrs. An can't stay idle at home after her eyesight has healed.
However, Baoque knows his limits and won't say this casually.
However, Baoque told Songzhi everything about how An Lingrong deliberately damaged her throat to avoid serving the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber.
She felt that Lady An was a little obsessed now. If she wanted to survive in the harem, the emperor's favor and offspring should be her top priority.
Although Lady An could gain the respect of her servants by giving them generous rewards, she, a palace maid, could see clearly that in the harem, power was more important than money.
Lady An must not lose her holy heart.
After hearing Baoque's report, Songzhi immediately relayed it to Concubine Hua.
She still remembered the last time, Zhou Ninghai was scolded by Concubine Hua because he forgot that the Queen had given a brocade quilt to Concubine Wan, who was still a noble lady.
After Concubine Wan had served the Queen, she bowed and greeted the Queen. Zhou Ninghai remembered that the Queen had given her a brocade quilt to choose from, but he forgot about it because he was delayed by other things. It was only later when Concubine Wan herself was greeting the Queen Mother that she discovered the Queen's little trick on Zhen Huan.
Songzhi always remembered that Concubine Hua was so angry that she smashed three apples at Zhou Ninghai's hat.
Later, the Queen hinted to An Lingrong that she should go to Sui Yuxuan for a visit, as perhaps there was some other reason why Zhen Huan had not been pregnant for a long time.
So, An Lingrong discovered in Suiyuxuan the same brocade quilt that the Queen had given to her sister Wan.
Everything is clear.
"Your Majesty, do you think Concubine An has gone insane? She's even giving up the Emperor's favor for the sake of money?" Songzhi's thoughts are similar to Baoque's. She can choose not to love, but she cannot give up the Emperor's favor in order to survive in the harem.
"She is not obsessed, she is just living too clearly."
An Changzai, she is the person with the clearest mind in the harem.
Hua Fei rolled her face with the jade wheel, and her pretty face showed a hint of admiration for An Lingrong. For Hua Fei, among Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong, she admired An Lingrong the most.
Keep a clear mind and don't waste time on internal things, always take the initiative to move towards what you want most.
She was able to quickly see the truth about the emperor's cold-heartedness and did not get entangled in it. Even if she were reborn, she would not be able to be as decisive as she was.
Although Shen Meizhuang realized the emperor's fickleness when she was feeling calm, she was too arrogant. Her stubborn look of preferring death to bowing to the emperor always reminded her of herself who died by hitting her head against a wall in her previous life.
I would rather die with fragrance on the branch than be blown away by the north wind.
The dog emperor is ruthless. Why does he want them to "die in a fragrant embrace" when he can't die in exchange for the other party's death?
The reason why Concubine Hua, who was reborn, understood this clearly was why she protected Shen Meizhuang so much.
Not for any other reason, but because her stubbornness is so similar to her arrogant self back then.
It is too painful to live in the deep palace, to live so clearly, and to fight against the shackles that bind you like a cage.
Sometimes, like An Lingrong, it's good to be soft when you need to be soft. If you are unhappy with being served, you can find an excuse and have a minor illness.
It's not about bowing to the imperial power, but about finding a comfort zone in the cracks of this imperial power.
"How did you say An Changzai's voice became so bad?" Concubine Hua only heard Song Zhi complaining about An Lingrong avoiding favor, and did not listen carefully to how An Lingrong avoided favor.
"My throat is sore from eating spicy hotpot." Songzhi couldn't help but curl her lips in disgust.
Is this what it means when people are close to vermilion, they become redder?
Baoque said that two nights ago, An Chang sat alone in the room, sitting around a pot and ate two plates of beef, two plates of mutton, and a large portion of boneless duck feet.
Songzhi: Can duck feet be deboned?
Baoque: Yes, An Changzai asked me to take off my chopsticks and scissors little by little.
"So smart~" Concubine Hua praised An Lingrong for being someone who would never treat herself unfairly.
Songzhi suddenly felt a little regretful about telling Concubine Hua about this matter.
"By the way, Madam, it will be Madam Wanpin's birthday in a few days. Should we wear casual clothes or auspicious clothes on that day?"
"Well, now that Wanpin is pregnant and has been promoted to a concubine, she is at the peak of her popularity, and the emperor holds her in his heart," Hua Fei changed her hand and continued to roll the jade wheel, "wear the auspicious dress, like everyone else, don't be too outstanding, so as not to offend the emperor."
"Yes."
Concubine Hua instructed them to keep a low profile, so Songzhi went downstairs to iron the wedding dress.
------------------------------------
The tenth day of April is auspicious and suitable for praying and holding ceremonies.
The main hall of Jingren Palace.
The emperor sat on the main seat and the empress sat on his left.
Zhen Huan was wearing a green auspicious dress today and was kneeling in front of the two of them with her back straight.
"Concubine Zhen of Wan, blessed by heaven, inherits the omen of the inner court..."
"ga"
"I hope you will cultivate virtue and self-control in the future, and live in harmony with the imperial family..."
"ga"
"What's that sound?" The Queen was reading out the imperial decree to appoint concubines, but there were always strange sounds coming from outside.
The main hall, which was originally solemn and quiet, seemed to have a hint of funny atmosphere.
"Diligent..."
"ga"
"What's that sound?" The emperor finally couldn't help but speak, with dissatisfaction revealed on his face.
Is this what the Queen meant when she said that everything is ready and Concubine Wan will definitely not be wronged?
