Chapter 235 No profit, no early start
Who would be willing to say good things about others for no reason without any benefit?
What's more, it's in the Forbidden City where there is no gain without hard work.
An Lingrong was thinking about these things quietly. The emperor asked An Lingrong to stay and have dinner with him, and naturally she didn't have to go back to the Yanx Palace after dinner.
After a night of gentle acceptance of the emperor's favor, An Lingrong got up from the bedroom in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity the next day, holding her waist, but the emperor had not yet gotten up.
The emperor listened to the noise, opened his eyes, looked at the yellow curtain on the bed, and said to An Lingrong: "Today we will go to Jingren Palace to pay our respects. I will go with you."
An Lingrong's confused thoughts suddenly became clear after hearing these words.
Your Majesty, what does he mean?
An Lingrong said "yes" quietly, and then got up to help the emperor dress and wash.
When An Lingrong was dressing Yongzheng, her expression was respectful and serious, and her palm-sized face still had the tenderness of a night of passion.
Yongzheng looked down at An Lingrong. Before going to court, he patted An Lingrong's hand and asked her to wait for him in the Yangxin Palace.
Wait for him to return from court and go to Jingren Palace together.
Yongzheng felt refreshed when he walked out of the bedroom. He had been with Concubine Duan for a long time, and he felt very energetic after eating some meat.
Generally, the concubines who stayed in the Yangxin Palace to serve the emperor would return to their own palaces the next day.
It was rare for An Lingrong to stay and wait for the emperor to go to Jingren Palace together.
Zhen Huan had experienced similar situations several times before.
I didn't expect that I would be so favored today.
Although An Lingrong didn't care about her favor in the harem, nor did she care who the emperor loved in his heart, she just wanted to have some favor to use when she needed it.
At least, after today, An Lingrong won't have to stand in Jingren Palace as punishment anymore.
After the emperor left, Baojuan came in to comb An Lingrong's hair and put on makeup, and she flattered her with auspicious words.
An Lingrong was wondering when the Queen would let her have some peace and quiet so that she could concentrate on developing spices for summer use.
The spice shop outside the palace always has to have something new every season to satisfy the expectations of its repeat customers.
This was an unwritten understanding between her and Sun Miaoqing. In the past, Concubine Hua only took the dividends, and she would give Sun Miaoqing some new products from time to time, and the stall gradually became more and more presentable.
Later, before the epidemic, even Concubine Hua was working hard to select the color of the new rouge for spring, but she was hampered by the epidemic, which made An Lingrong very anxious at the time.
Although Miss Sun outside the palace would definitely not blame me, I still felt uneasy about taking the spring dividends.
Xiao Xiazi asked the imperial kitchen staff to serve breakfast to An Lingrong, and said to An Lingrong respectfully:
"My Lady An, this is what the Emperor specifically instructed the Imperial Kitchen to prepare for you before he went to court. He said he was worried that you would be too tired after working so hard for so many days and that you would not be able to keep up with the preparation."
He was clearly concerned about An Lingrong's health, but An Lingrong always sounded weird.
An Lingrong had no time to think about it. She looked at the Jade Rice and Shredded Chicken Soup on the table. Her appetite was aroused and she finished two bowls before putting down her spoon and chopsticks.
After the emperor left the court, An Lingrong accompanied him for breakfast before going to Jingren Palace together.
-------------------------------------
Jingren Palace.
The concubines of each palace had already paid their respects to the Queen, even Concubine Hua was present. As soon as the concubines sat down, they heard Jiang Fuhai loudly announce outside the palace: "The Emperor has arrived~"
The concubines said they were used to it, stood up from their chairs, and bowed to the emperor and greeted him.
The concubines caught a glimpse of the pretty figure behind the emperor from the corner of their eyes. They followed the emperor to pay their respects. They guessed that she had slept with him last night and came to show off today.
They are familiar with this plot.
Last time it was Ling Xiang, and the time before that was the dead Yu, so today, who knows which vixen it is...
Lipin was chirping in her heart, and when the emperor said "Get up", Lipin looked up and saw that it was An Lingrong, that petty, coquettish and unpresentable vixen!
She is the one who has received the most favor these days, but she has never come to Jingren Palace with the emperor!
This little bitch actually seduced the emperor away when she wasn't paying attention. Concubine Li was so angry that her teeth were itching.
An Lingrong: Is this some new honor to follow the Emperor to Jingren Palace?
Isn't this a ceremony for the new concubine in the harem to ascend to the throne?
If it wasn't for the purpose of making the Queen suffer less and saving me more time to research new products, I wouldn't do it.
Ling Xiang, who was in the last position, looked at the graceful figure behind the emperor and could not help but clench her handkerchief. If she had not been pregnant, this position behind the emperor should have been hers.
An Lingrong: This is the exclusive position in the countdown to the cold palace. Do you want it?
Concubine Hua glanced at An Lingrong and then looked away. This emperor has so many bad habits. He brings the concubine he slept with the night before to see his wife every day. No wonder you can't even keep a child.
Zhen Huan looked at An Lingrong who looked calm and composed, with no change in expression on her face. There were many pregnant women in the harem now, and Sister Mei was cold to the Emperor. It was better for Lingrong to be favored than anyone else.
But Zhen Huan still felt a little sad.
Lingrong is different from Lipin. Lipin has always served men with her beauty and has never entered the emperor's heart. But Zhen Huan knows that Lingrong has a place in the emperor's heart.
"So it's An Changzai who served the emperor yesterday." The Queen looked at An Lingrong who was bowing respectfully and asking how he was doing on the ground and quickly asked her to get up. She looked as if she was sympathetic to An Lingrong's hard work last night and said, "An Changzai must have worked hard last night. Jianqiu, bring An Changzai a cup of ginseng tea."
It's just serving the emperor in bed, why is it so hard that I have to drink ginseng tea?
Lipin couldn't help rolling her eyes, and Lingxiang also snorted softly from her nose. The sound was so light that only Chun Changzai beside her and Fuzi behind her heard it.
An Lingrong, who was sitting opposite, had no intention of paying attention to the other women's reactions. She took Jianqiu's teacup, put her nose close to the cup and took a closer smell, and she felt something was wrong.
Looking more closely, I saw that in addition to ginseng slices, there were also some safflower flowers in the teacup.
Has the Queen become so blatant?
"An Changzai looks weak, so she must take good care of herself." The Queen looked at An Lingrong tenderly, "If An Changzai can also get pregnant, the harem will be more lively next year, don't you think so, Wanpin?"
The Queen stared at An Lingrong with burning eyes, but her words were directed to Concubine Wan, and the implications between her words were unclear.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right." Concubine Wan responded indifferently. The brocade quilt with a faint fragrance lingered in Zhen Huan's mind again.
An Lingrong simply said, "Thank you, Her Majesty, for your consideration," and drank the ginseng tea in one gulp.
