An Lingrong after rebirth

Chapter 185 The kid is going crazy!

"It is true that the tribute this year is small, but Rong'er is virtuous and Zhao'er is filial, so it is reasonable to give you the best things. An Lingrong no longer refused and smiled after hearing this. Yes, thank you very much, Your Majesty."

"As soon as the voice fell, Hong Zhao in his arms also shouted, "Thank you...Father Emperor!"

...............

The team going to the garden left the palace on May 20th!

"An Lingrong is the only one who helps manage the harem, so naturally she will be the one to see her off. Shen Meizhuang knows that she is pregnant and is worried about her being alone, so she is staying by her side at this moment."

"But Shen Meizhuang saw the team going away, but didn't notice An Lingrong's expression for a moment. Was she somewhat relieved?"

"It is now the fourth year of Yongzheng's reign. If An Lingrong doesn't remember, it was in the summer of this year that Prince Dun attempted to rebel but was discovered by the Emperor first, and all his plans were aborted."

"For some unknown reason, the once arrogant General Nian Gengyao completely lost the emperor's favor from that time on!"

"I can't wade into this bloody storm while I'm pregnant. It's better for me to stay in the palace with the Queen Mother, where it's safer."

"It's just that I'm afraid I can only keep the news of my pregnancy a secret for the time being."

"This time most of the concubines went with them. The only ones left in the palace are An Lingrong, Shen Meizhuang, Concubine Qi, and Concubine Qi who was under house arrest."

"That's good. Someone has to pay the price for some things! I've endured it for so long, and now I can finally let go for once."

"Sister Mei, let's go back!"

"After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang held An Lingrong's arm and said, "Okay, there are fewer people in the palace now, so there is no need to be shy about many things. You are pregnant now, so you can go back with your daughter."

"An Lingrong nodded. That's fine. The emperor is not in the palace. Sister, why don't you take Hongjun to live in the Yanxi Palace? The children can be together every day, which will make them happier."

"After saying this, An Lingrong suddenly thought of something and laughed softly, which made Shen Meizhuang stunned. I'm going to live with you, so why are you laughing all of a sudden?"

"An Lingrong turned her eyes and took Shen Meizhuang's hand and said, "Sister, you can't say this, let's go back!"

"They look happy on their faces, but they are even happier in their hearts! If the harem really only had the two of them and a few children, I don't know how happy they would be!"

"But such thoughts can only be thought in the mind, but can never be spoken out loud."

"With fewer people in the palace, it's quiet all of a sudden. They say they are going to take care of the affairs of the six palaces, but no one is in the palace, so what's the problem!"

"The Queen Mother didn't want them to pay respects every day, so for half a month, the Yanxi Palace stayed up all night, and there was no movement."

"But these good days are only going to end now. Since the beginning of June, An Lingrong has started to feel uncomfortable. Not to mention other things, she kept vomiting when she looked at the food in front of her, which made her feel extremely helpless."

"Shen Meizhuang looked at An Lingrong's distressed expression and handed her a handkerchief with a frown on her face. Why didn't you feel so distressed when you were pregnant with Hongzhao?"

"Why are you starting to feel uncomfortable now that you have your second child?" An Lingrong took the handkerchief and said with a bitter face; if you knew the reason, you wouldn't have to feel uncomfortable."

"This kid, I'll spank him when she comes out!" Shen Meizhuang's words made An Lingrong burst out laughing!

"I still remember that I said the same thing when my sister was pregnant with Hongjun. Now that I see how cute Jun'er is, how can I bear to let her go?"

"You are the only one who would say that you are the one who is suffering right now," Shen Meizhuang said harshly, but she gently patted An Lingrong's back.

"Didn't Doctor Luo come to see you? Is there any way? I heard that eating sour food will make you feel better?" As Shen Meizhuang finished speaking, Lian'er came forward holding a small porcelain plate.

"My queen, these are the sour plums I got from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Would you like to try them?"

"Shen Meizhuang took a look and saw a dozen sour plums on the plate. The color looked very dark. She felt a sore throat at the first sight. It must be something very sour."

"Shen Meizhuang didn't wait for An Lingrong to speak. She pinched it and put it in her mouth. After a moment, her brows furrowed. But she didn't spit it out."

"An Lingrong looked at the other person's expression and said hurriedly, 'Sister Mei, if it's too sour, just spit it out. Why are you still forcing yourself to hold on?'"

"Shen Meizhuang tightly closed her mouth and waved her hands at An Lingrong. After a long while, she finally spit out the plum and let out a long breath. It was so sour."

"He then picked up a cup of tea from the table and drank it all in one gulp. He then continued, "Let me try it. It seems to be just sour. There shouldn't be any problem! Rong'er, you can try it too. It may help."

"An Lingrong knew what Shen Meizhuang meant by this. She ignored her discomfort and held Shen Meizhuang's hand tightly. Sister Mei..."

"An Lingrong's eyes flickered, and Shen Meizhuang blushed slightly! She gently pushed An Lingrong and said, "Okay, didn't you try it like this before?"

"Try it now and see if it works!"

"Yeah! Thank you, sister!" After hearing this, An Lingrong pinched one and put it in her mouth, feeling her thoughts a little confused for a moment.

"I came back from the garden the year Hong Zhao was born. Shen Meizhuang was pregnant at that time. I tried the food for her, but I did this only after I confirmed that it was not poisonous!"

"Now that I see the other person's appearance, I really had a mean heart. ... The taste of sour plum spread in her mouth, and the discomfort between An Lingrong's brows gradually relaxed."

"Seeing this, Shen Meizhuang slowly stopped soothing An Lingrong's back and said with a smile: "I see you're feeling better. This thing is still somewhat useful."

"What Lian'er brings from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not always safe. You might as well ask others how to do it. You can be more confident if you make it yourself."

"Lian'er responded, "Yes, Madam Xianpin, your Majesty always thinks about my Majesty. I will go and ask her now!"

"After saying that, Lian'er ran out in a hurry. An Lingrong looked at Shen Meizhuang and said, "Sister Mei, thank you..."

"There's no need for a thank you between you and me. I just hope you can give birth to this baby safely."

As the two were talking, Yan Gui pushed the door open and came in, "Your Majesty, Concubine Qi is here with the Third Prince!"

"Shen Meizhuang frowned. What is she doing here? You are feeling uncomfortable right now, how can you have the energy to see her?"

"An Lingrong knew that Shen Meizhuang was doing this for her own good, so she didn't care. She just smiled and said, "Since Concubine Qi was released from house arrest, she has met with me privately several times."

"Sister, it's better than having more enemies. It's much better to use this plum. Let her in! Shen Meizhuang nodded helplessly. Okay, you know the importance! You always have to put your own things first."

"Yes, thank you, Concubine Xian," An Lingrong said mischievously, and then continued, "Caiyue, help me put away these sour plums. Come back early, and invite Concubine Qi and the Third Prince in!"

"Yes," they both answered at the same time. A moment later, Concubine Qi and the Third Prince Huan walked in. As soon as they entered the room, Concubine Qi said, "Sister Xian is here too!"

"You guys can have more people to talk to, unlike me who is alone in Changchun Palace, but it's very boring!"

"There are few people in the palace now, so please come and visit us more often when you have time." An Lingrong smiled and said politely. Concubine Qi walked up to her and sat down, then turned around and said, "Hongshi, why don't you pay your respects?"

After hearing this, Hongshi stepped forward obediently, bowed and said, "Your son pays respects to Madam Shu and Madam Xian!"

Third prince, no need to be so polite!

"An Lingrong raised her hand and subconsciously looked at Hongshi. Perhaps because he was raised by Concubine Qi, An Lingrong now saw that he was not as timid as before in front of the Queen."

"Empress Xie Shu, Empress Xie Xian! Hongshi stood up straight after he finished speaking, retreated behind Concubine Qi, stood obediently, and stopped talking!"

An Lingrong's lips curved, "Third Prince seems to be very sensible, much quieter than my naughty boy. Ever since Hong Zhao turned one, he has been asked by his wet nurse to teach him how to walk."

"Recently, he has been walking steadily and more skillfully. Since he started walking, he has been dragging his nurse with him every day and is unwilling to sit for a while. It is really tiring."

"But Hong Zhao is willing to go, and An Lingrong has no intention of stopping him. She just wants the wet nurse to be troubled. After hearing this, Concubine Qi smiled and said, "After all, it's better for a child to be more lively."

"I see Hongshi, he looks so old and not at all impulsive. Oh, by the way, where is the sister of the Sixth Prince, the Seventh Prince, and the younger sister? Bring her out so I can see her!"

"An Lingrong did not refuse. She turned around and ordered: Yan Gui, go to the side hall to see if the child has woken up. If he has woken up, let the wet nurse bring him over!"

"After Yan Gui continued speaking, An Lingrong said, "Sister, let Third Brother sit down too!" Concubine Qi waved her hand and said, "Be a real man, just stand for a while."

"Besides, when the Sixth Prince, the Seventh Prince and the Princess come over soon, let them play with their brothers and sisters! What is he doing here near us?"

"Okay! An Lingrong didn't force it and asked someone to bring up some tea and snacks. After they chatted for a while, they heard Hong Zhao's noisy voice coming from outside."

"Knowing that it was inconvenient for An Lingrong to hold the child, Shen Meizhuang stood up to greet her. Hong Zhao was obviously still asleep and rubbed his eyes with his hand."

"Without even looking at the person in front of him, he hugged his thighs. Mom, I'm sleepy..."

"Yan Gui said: Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince and the Princess haven't woken up yet, so I didn't have a wet nurse to bring the two young masters over."

Well, you go down first! Shen Meizhuang responded and squatted down with a smile on her face, "Zhao'er, look, who am I?"

"Hong Zhao finally realized that the person in front of him was not his mother. When he saw that it was Shen Meizhuang, he still stretched out his hands and said, "My dear mother, hug me!"

"Shen Meizhuang quickly picked the child up, causing An Lingrong beside her to chuckle softly. This child is really getting more and more spoiled."

"Shen Meizhuang held the child and turned around to glare at An Lingrong. Hong Zhao is so young, it's normal for him to be a little spoiled. Normally, Jun'er would never say this to you."

"Sister, you'll just spoil him, right?" An Lingrong muttered, but Shen Meizhuang ignored her! She sat down with the child in her arms and waited for Hong Zhao to sober up.

"Just then he said: Zhao'er, this is Empress Qi, this is Third Brother. Hong Zhao turned his head and took a look. He didn't care whether he knew the other party or not, and smiled and said: Empress Qi, Third Brother!"

After hearing this, Concubine Qi immediately took Hong Zhao from Shen Meizhuang's arms with a smile, "Look! This child is not shy at all, he is really like a family member."

"Hongshi doesn't have a playmate on weekdays. Although Hongzhao is young, he also finds it novel. He looks at Hongzhao with a smile like Concubine Qi and can't take his eyes off him for a while!"

"Princess Qi said: I don't have any good things, but the emperor gave Hongshi some writing brushes, inkstones, and paper a few days ago. I'll give one each to the Seventh and Sixth Princes. Don't dislike them, my two sisters!"

"Sister Qipin is too polite. How old are these two children? How can they use the pen, ink, paper and inkstone? The third prince is at the age of formal schooling, so let him use it! I understand your heart!"

"After An Lingrong finished speaking, before Concubine Qi could say anything, Hongshi said with a bitter face: Concubine Shu, just ask your two younger brothers to accept them. My writing brushes, inkstones, paper, and inkstones are more than enough."

"An Lingrong glanced at the other person and saw the bitter look on Hongshi's face. She guessed that the child must not want to write, so she thought of giving the things away!"

"After a pause, he smiled and nodded. Well, thank you, Sister Qipin and the Third Prince. As they were talking, Hongzhao in Qipin's arms couldn't sit still. Although he hadn't seen Hongshi for a long time, he felt familiar with him now."

"Reach out and hold Hongshi's finger, Third brother, take me out to play. Hongshi's eyes lit up when he heard Hongzhao's words, and he looked at An Lingrong, Madam Shu. Can your son take your brother out to play?"

"After all, Hongshi is just a half-child. It's not difficult for a wet nurse to watch over him. An Lingrong was naturally not worried. She nodded and said, "Your brother is very naughty. Just play in the yard. If you are tired, come back early."

Yes!

"Hongshi responded with a smile, and Hongzhao slipped down from Qipin's arms, and walked out holding Hongshi's hand, urging him as he walked, "Brother, hurry up!"

"The little kid dragged Hongshi to the yard. An Lingrong saw this and quickly ordered: 'Yan Gui, you go with them. Don't tire the Third Prince out.'"

"Perhaps others will understand the deeper meaning of this, but Concubine Qi smiled and said, 'The young man has endless energy all day long, so how can he be tired after playing with the Sixth Prince? Sister, just leave him alone and let them go!'"

My sister is right!

"An Lingrong smiled and nodded. After watching the others leave, she pointed to the teacup on the table and said, 'Sister, you've been here for a long time. Come and have some tea. It's getting hot outside now.'"

"After hearing this, Concubine Qi picked up the teacup and took a sip. Her eyes suddenly lit up. Sister, what kind of tea is this? Why is it so fragrant?"

"This is the Songluo tea from Weizhou that was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few days ago. I heard from the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that it is not a precious tea. If you like it, I will ask Lian'er to pack some for you to take back."

"How can I ask for my sister's things? There are not many people in the left and right palaces. If I want to drink, I can just come to my sister's place."

"Qipin's words sounded kind, but it made people feel surprised. Even though An Lingrong had met the other party several times in private, she couldn't understand why the two of them became so close. "

Concubine Qi sat in the Yanxi Palace for nearly an hour. Two children came in from playing outside, sweating profusely. Seeing them, Concubine Qi pulled Hongshi over anxiously and said, "How could you let your brother make such a fuss?"

Before Hongshi could say anything after hearing this, Hongzhao on the side immediately said: "Empress Qi, don't blame your brother, it's me, it's me...!"

"Princess Qi laughed, but pulled Hong Zhao to her front and wiped the sweat off his head with a handkerchief. Then she waved to signal Hong Shi to come over."

"Hongshi knew what Concubine Qi wanted to do, but he was a little shy in front of An Lingrong and the other two, and his face turned slightly red. Mother, I will do it myself."

"Qipin just reacted and handed him the handkerchief, "It's up to you!" After Hongshi took the handkerchief, he lowered his head and said, "After playing for so long, Hongzhao must be hungry."

Hong Zhao lowered his head and touched his stomach, then raised his head and smiled, "Hmm! Hmm! Hmm! Zhao'er is hungry." Concubine Qi smiled and looked at An Lingrong, "It's getting late, sister, hurry up and take the Sixth Prince to eat!"

"Hongshi and I will go back first. Sister, you have been here for so long, why don't you have a meal here with me! Concubine Qi waved her hand and said, "Forget it. I see that the child is soaked. I have to take him back to change clothes."
