Chapter 16. Allies

Author: There is a Rabbit in the South

A trace of resentment flashed in Xia Dongchun's eyes. She resented Concubine Hua, and even more resented the Queen, but she couldn't say that the tutoring aunt the Queen had hired was much stricter than the tutoring aunt she had at home. If she made any mistakes, she would be punished. After a few months, every bit of the arrogance she had when she first entered the palace was worn away.

Hearing An Lingrong ask her this question, Xia Dongchun suddenly felt aggrieved, but she held it back: "Thank you Rong Chang for your concern. Everything is fine with me, but I was not sensible when I first entered the palace and made a joke."

An Lingrong's eyes were soft, and he stood up and slowly took her hand, saying: "When we first entered the palace, everyone was ignorant. You are just a bit more straightforward, and you accidentally got involved in the relationship between the Queen and the Empress." You are just pushed out as a shield between Concubine Hua and the Empress, otherwise, with your temperament and appearance, how could you be inferior to Shen Meizhuang and the others."

Xia Dongchun burst into tears and couldn't stop sobbing. She really felt that An Lingrong's words had penetrated into her heart.

"I know, General Xia, you have three brothers above you, all of them are brave. You are the youngest daughter, so you must have grown up in the hands of General Xia. You have been pampered since you were a child, and you were deliberately exploited after entering the palace. Until now. I really have wronged you with this look." An Lingrong's voice was soft and soft, with a hint of confusion, like a murmur to lull her to sleep, and it penetrated into Xia Dongchun's heart, "Our new entrants to the palace, Mr. Wan, and We have been friends with Mr. Shen since childhood, and no one can get in the way. Mr. Fucha has a prominent family background, so he may not think highly of us. Chun Changzai is... young, so the only two left are you and me."

After Xia Dongchun finished crying, she felt much relieved. After listening to An Lingrong's words, every word was considered for her, and her heart suddenly turned towards her.

After all, she had heard a lot of words in front of the queen, but she still couldn't figure out what An Lingrong meant. She hurriedly held An Lingrong's hand and said in a hurry: "If Rong Changzai doesn't despise me, I will take care of myself." follow."

"Okay." An Lingrong showed a smile, reached out and gently brushed Xia Dongchun's face, brushing away her tears, "Now you are in trouble, you need to wait for the opportunity. When summer comes, we will have a chance."

"It's summer?" Xia Dongchun was puzzled.

An Lingrong smiled and did not answer directly, but asked her: "Can you ride a horse?"

Xia Dongchun showed a confident smile: "I have been trained by my father since I was a child, and my riding skills are excellent!"

"Then you know that when Concubine Hua first entered the palace, she was favored by the emperor. One of the reasons was that she was good at riding. When the late emperor held the Mulan Autumn Hunting, Concubine Hua could always outdo the queen and accompany the emperor. She was the only one favored by him. ." An Lingrong talked about the past, "You and Concubine Hua are both from the general family, and both have cheerful temperaments. You can't imitate those petty people. You should use your strengths."

Xia Dongchun's eyes flickered, as if he had finally found his direction.

An Lingrong said nothing and looked at her quietly.

After a long time, Xia Dongchun clenched his fists slightly and looked at An Lingrong as if he had made up his mind: "I listen to you."

"Okay." An Lingrong nodded, "Seeing that summer is only three or four months away, you must take good care of yourself during this period, so as not to still be so haggard by then."

To be honest, being able to be spotted and selected by the emperor at a glance during the draft means that Xia Dongchun is not bad looking, her facial features are grand and bright, and her style is similar to that of Concubine Hua, but her personality is too flamboyant and she has to suppress this beauty. She got a discount - despite Concubine Hua's domineering behavior, she behaved herself in front of the emperor, and this is where Xia Dongchun suffered.

After seeing off Xia Dongchun, it was already late at night, and An Lingrong returned to the dormitory and squinted for a while.

After lying down for a while, he heard a commotion outside. Eunuch Huang from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a group of people hurriedly walked into Suiyuxuan. While he was confessing his sins, he said happily: "Eunuch Su, who is next to the emperor, sent people here before dawn.

The message was sent that the young ones should hurry up and tidy up the bedroom of the Wan nobleman. In response, the decoration must be carried out according to the festive customs of folk weddings."

Huanbi and Liuzhu looked happy at the same time and quickly asked Eunuch Huang to lead people into the main hall.

After a lot of banging, An Lingrong couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up, lit a lamp and read a book.

In her next life, she knew that it would be easy to suffer in this harem if she was uneducated. Even if she barely knew a few words, if she didn't know more, she would be unable to succeed in the future. Therefore, in addition to embroidery, she did more

When I was young, I just read. Now I have finished reading The Three Character Classic and Hundred Family Surnames, and I am currently reading the Book of Songs.

A high-pitched voice from outside came in: "Folks spread tents using plump and round fruits. Those that are slightly shriveled cannot be used. Quickly pick them out and throw them away! Oh, there is also a way to stack these quilts.

, don’t put it around..." The nagging went on endlessly.

Dill took some clothes and put them on An Lingrong: "But they are making noise to the young master? I will go and say something to them and ask them to move more gently."

"No need, I feel much better." An Lingrong waved his hand, indicating that Dill didn't need to wear it, "I originally planned to meet the queen today, so it's better to get up early than to be late. I can't sleep anyway."

Dill looked out the window and was a little worried: "My slave, look at it, Wan Guiren is so favored. I don't know how Concubine Hua can hold a grudge in her heart. The young master just got a title that day, so he offended Concubine Hua."

I am so unhappy that I just kicked you out of Qixiang Palace. Wan Guiren is even more favored than you were at that time. I'm afraid..."

An Lingrong put down the book in his hand and said, "I guess many people will not sleep well tonight." Even Shen Meizhuang came to her with dark circles under his eyes in his previous life.

No matter how close the sisters are, I'm afraid they still have a grudge in their hearts.

Seeing that it was daybreak, An Lingrong packed up and was about to go out. When he looked up, he saw Huanbi greeting someone on the wall painted with pepper. When he met her, he didn't salute. He entered the main hall by mistake and called out loudly:

Yunzi: "Half of the pepper wall is still unfinished. My master is coming back soon. Hurry up and stop him and walk around the imperial garden. Come back later so that we can be better prepared."

"

Xiao Yunzi sighed and ran out in a hurry.

Dill was a little angry, but An Lingrong patted her arm gently, and the master and servant walked out of Suiyuxuan in silence.

Behind him, Liu Zhu felt a little sorry and pulled Huanbi to say a few words, but Huanbi turned his head and shook him away.

Little Yunzi was quick and hurriedly arrived in front of Zhen Huan out of Jingren Palace. When she saw her coming out, she jumped up and startled Zhen Huan and Cui Jinxi.

Cui Jinxi was confused: "Little Yunzi, if you are not staying in the palace at this time, what are you doing here?"

Without saying a word, Xiao Yunzi bowed first and said, "I would like to congratulate my little master first."

Cui Jinxi laughed and scolded: "You little monkey, you have come all the way to please me. I won't be without you when I get back."

"Auntie made the mistake of blaming me this time. This servant is here under orders. Please don't go back to the palace for the time being." Xiao Yunzi said.

"Why is this?" Zhen Huan was a little surprised.

Xiao Yunzi deliberately did not say the reason, and just led Zhen Huan to the Imperial Garden: "Little Master, please don't ask any questions. Please go to the Royal Garden to relax."

Although Zhen Huan was puzzled, she was in bed for the first time and was praised by the queen. She was in a good mood. Seeing that little Yunzi was not hiding any bad things, she followed his wishes and went all the way to the imperial garden.

Just as they were leaving, Concubine Li and Cao Guiren came to pay their respects to the queen. Kang Luhai, who was following Concubine Li, excused himself from having a stomachache and followed Zhen Huan's footsteps towards the Royal Garden.

Cao Guiren knew what he was planning at a glance and reminded Dao Libin: "Although Kang Luhai followed his sister, his sneaky habits have not changed at all." Seeing that Libin didn't hear it.

The implication came to mind, and he said again, "Sister, I have a good heart, but I would never dare to use this thing that has betrayed its old master."

Only then did Libi sense that something was wrong. She turned around and glanced at Kang Luhai's figure running away in a hurry, and immediately followed her with the others.

In the imperial garden, flowers were blooming. An Lingrong was walking slowly holding Dill's hand. It was still early and she was not in a hurry, but she saw a familiar figure running across the gravel road in the distance.

, Wei Wei made some identifications: "Dill, is that Eunuch Kang who is next to Concubine Li?"

Dill also took a look and nodded: "It's true, the young master has really good eyesight."

Eunuch Kang was the former chief eunuch around Zhen Huan. At the end of the year, he begged Concubine Li and wanted to go to Qixiang Palace as an errand. He finally got there, but he was summoned by a group of little girls. At that time, even Cardamom was summoned by Cui.

Liu said hello and said that if there was something to do, he could just instruct them to do it. A good leader eunuch was not as good as a little eunuch.

An Lingrong rolled her eyes slightly and hid behind a peach blossom tree with Dill. Her intuition told her that there might be something good to watch later.

Sure enough, Kang Luhai caught up with Zhen Huan, stopped her, and said with a flattering smile: "I see you, noble man Wan, and I hope you are safe and sound."

Zhen Huan glanced at Cui Jinxi, her expression changed instantly, and her tone was calm, as if she was reminding Cui Jinxi of such a person, and also seemed to tell herself who this person was: "It's Kang Luhai."

"My little master still remembers this slave!" Kang Luhai suddenly burst into laughter and nodded hurriedly.

"It's so early, Eunuch Kang, why didn't you follow Concubine Li?" Zhen Huan distanced herself from him distantly.

Kang Luhai suddenly smiled and said with force: "Empress Li and Guiren Cao have gone to pay their respects to the Queen. I know that the young master will pass by the Imperial Garden when returning to the palace, so I am waiting here."

What he said was very clear, but Zhen Huan just pretended that she didn't understand: "Is there something you want to explain to your concubine Li Bi?"

Kang Luhai laughed awkwardly: "No, it's not Concubine Li's business. Yes, I have something in my heart that I want to ask of my master..." He thought about how to speak, "I heard that my master was promoted to Jin Dynasty.

For noble people, think wholeheartedly

I want to say hello to my little master. I can’t help it. There are too many errands. The emperor has issued an edict not to disturb my little master’s rest. I, my slave, am looking forward to the stars and the moon. My neck is growing long from looking forward to it. I have to say hello to my little master. I’m so talented.

An is not..."

The more he spoke, the smoother he spoke, and he was about to cry. He didn't see Zhen Huan's expression moving in the slightest. He suddenly felt anxious and was searching for something to say. However, he saw that Zhen Huan was impatient and quickly put her thoughts aside.

Say it out loud: "If you don't think my slave is stupid, as long as you say a word, my slave is willing to serve my little master, even to the death."

Kang Luhai said sincerely, but Zhen Huan couldn't believe it. At the beginning, he said he wanted to leave Suiyuxuan, and it would be impossible to come back again.

An Lingrong stood behind, watching Li Bi, Cao Guiren and their people appear at the corner, and hid herself, but not well, which attracted Cao Guiren's attention. She didn't panic, she was quiet.

He smiled at her.

Cao Guiren was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes and smiled, then looked away, pretending not to see her at all.

Li Bi couldn't stand listening anymore and walked forward angrily: "Okay, so you pretended to have a stomachache and ran out just to meet your old master?!"

Kang Luhai was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.

When Zhen Huan greeted the two of them, she didn't show any signs of fear.

Li Bin snorted coldly: "Wan Guiren still knows how to salute, so he should know his identity. I heard that the emperor recently sent many palace servants to Wan Guiren's palace. Why, Wan Guiren's servants are not enough to handle him.

?You actually look down on this useless servant next to me."

Li Bin's eyes were so fierce that she kept swallowing her saliva when she saw Kang Luhai's two buttocks trembling.

"That's enough. Thanks to sister Libi for not giving up, she summoned Kang Luhai to serve her. Since he is already my sister's slave, there is no reason for me to take him as he pleases." Zhen Huan said that she would not say anything anymore.

Those who wanted Kang Luhai said a few polite words and then left.

Li Bin sneered twice and complimented Zhen Huan politely. Cui Liu beside her looked at Li Bin's face, scolded Kang Luhai and slapped him.

The sound of slaps gradually calmed down Li Bin's anger. Cao Guiren gave some more words of persuasion, and Li Bin said some angry words before leaving.

Cao Guiren did not follow her anymore. After saying goodbye to Zhen Huan, he turned a corner and walked up to An Lingrong. He smiled and said, "Sister Rong, are you in good health?"

An Lingrong smiled and saluted her: "I miss Sister Lao Cao. My sister is almost well."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, sister. I miss you very much." Cao Guiren took An Lingrong's hand, with a look of intimacy on his face, "Wen Yi likes the puppet you gave me earlier. Now that I have time, come again, sister.

Sit in the palace."

An Lingrong's eyes flashed, and then she nodded with a smile: "Okay."
