Chapter 659 Xian Meiying agrees
The rain that put out the fire at Dongsi Station continued intermittently for about five days before the sun slowly peeked out.
The garden is located by the mountains and water, and the continuous rain has made the air wet.
Concubine Hua, who was riding in the sedan chair, looked at the sun hanging low in the sky, frowned, and gave orders impatiently.
"I have something to ask the Imperial Concubine, please go directly to Louyue Kaiyun."
Upon hearing this, Songzhi hurriedly ordered the eunuch to change direction.
My master's face has been gloomy since he came out of the Qinzheng Hall.
She knew very well that her master was a man who could not keep secrets, so she did not dare to ask what had happened on the way.
It would be a good idea for Her Majesty to go to the Imperial Noble Consort to vent her grievances, so as to avoid being depressed and sulking, secretly planning a big move and hurting herself.
Concubine Hua, with a cold face, asked directly when she saw Xiao Linzi.
"Where is the Imperial Concubine? I have something to discuss with her."
Xiao Linzi had long been accustomed to the contrast between the two ladies' interactions inside and outside the house. He cleverly pointed to the main hall.
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs has delivered the account books, and my master is reconciling them in the main hall."
As soon as Concubine Hua came in, she bowed perfunctorily and then sat on the other side of the couch in a huff.
Seeing this, An Lingrong quickly put down the account book and looked at her curiously.
"Sister Nian, what's wrong with you? Is someone hurting you?"
"Hmph..."
Concubine Hua gave Songzhi and Baoque a look, indicating that they should guard outside the palace, and then spoke angrily.
"Lingrong, it was supposed to be my turn to attend to the Emperor today, but I didn't expect to be intercepted by a vixen."
Although she was impatient to serve the emperor, she could not swallow such a slap in the face.
A few days ago, the emperor was trying to be brave and review memorials all night long, but he collapsed the next day.
The people An Lingrong arranged to take care of her were relatively honest people. When she heard what Concubine Hua said, she had a premonition.
"Sister Nian, has the emperor taken in a new wife?"
Concubine Hua nodded heavily and continued with gritted teeth.
"That's not true. When I went there, the Emperor was listening to that vixen playing music. He's quite old, and he's not... afraid of getting hurt."
What she actually meant to say was "died in a woman's bed."
But in the end, he remembered An Lingrong's words: trouble comes from the mouth, so he should be more restrained.
"It's obvious that the Emperor is afraid that I will disturb his and Foxy's love affair, and he keeps saying that he's afraid of tiring me out, so he wants me to go back and look after Anle."
The emperor is a superficial person and will be fascinated by any beauty.
"I learned from Xiao Xiazi that the woman named Cai Ping was sent by that damn... despicable Prince Guo early this morning to serve the Emperor."
"The emperor is not picky about food, he will take anything, whether it's good or bad, into his bed."
An Lingrong handed a piece of osmanthus cake to her mouth.
"Sister Nian got up early, come and have some sweet-scented osmanthus cake to fill your stomach."
Concubine Hua finished eating with her hands.
"Lingrong, you still care about me. It's worth it that I came to find you as soon as I left the Qinzheng Palace."
"This osmanthus cake is good. It would be even better if it were paired with honey water."
Hearing her speak so bluntly, Bao Ge chuckled and quickly responded.
"Madam Hua Guifei, this servant gave you honey water, and I added two extra spoonfuls of osmanthus honey."
Concubine Hua was very tolerant towards her own people. She glared at Bao Ge and picked up the teacup.
An Lingrong gently reprimanded, "Bao Ge, Concubine Hua is kind and will not hold it against you. But don't break the rules again in the future."
Concubine Hua followed suit.
"Your master is right. We can't break the rules."
"Unless you give me another pot of honey water, I will forgive you this time."
Baoge knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Concubine Hua.
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam Hua Guifei. I will go and make a pot of honey water right away."
Concubine Hua reminded worriedly, "Remember to add a few more spoonfuls of osmanthus honey, the tea in this cup is not sweet enough."
After she finished speaking, she complained to An Lingrong again.
"Songzhi heard from somewhere that eating too much sweet food will damage your teeth, so she insisted that I save the osmanthus honey you gave me."
That dog servant Su Peisheng has also learned his lesson. He can't find the honey pot in the tea room at all.
"Sister Nian, Songzhi is right. You and Anle should use less sweet things."
An Lingrong was afraid that Concubine Hua would ask for osmanthus honey next, so she quickly brought the topic back to the previous topic.
"Sister Nian, does the Emperor have any plans to recruit Cai Ping?"
Concubine Hua slammed the teacup heavily on the small table, feeling indignant.
"The Emperor was bewitched by the foxy girl and directly appointed her as Ying's concubine. That foxy girl is so weak and delicate. I think she is imitating you in her behavior."
An Lingrong paused while handing over the osmanthus cake, then fed it into her own mouth.
Why does this sound wrong?
When Concubine Hua saw that the osmanthus cake at her mouth was gone, she protested in dissatisfaction.
"Ah, ah, ah! Lingrong, I was waiting with my mouth open, why did you eat it yourself?"
An Lingrong explained helplessly.
"Sister Nian, I'm hungry too. There's more on the plate, please help yourself."
Looking at Concubine Hua's reaction, I knew she was not intentionally alluding to me.
But I'm afraid that's how she portrayed herself before the two of them became friends.
An Lingrong couldn't help listening to Concubine Hua scolding Caiping in various ways, so she asked coldly.
"Sister Nian is so talented in writing. I'm afraid you've scolded everyone in the harem behind her back, right?"
Concubine Hua was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously looked at Songzhi, whose eyes were almost cramping outside the door, and smiled awkwardly after realizing it belatedly.
"Lingrong, that was because I was ignorant back then. Don't worry, I absolutely don't mean to scold you now."
"I came here just to ask you, Prince Guo is not a good person, how should we deal with the Ying Ying he sent?"
"Thank you, Sister Nian, for reminding me. Hongzhan also lives in Qinzheng Palace, and Ying agreed that it is indeed not suitable for her to stay there."
An Lingrong tapped her knee lightly.
"Chunpin is lively and active, and Ying promised that she is young, so we should arrange for her to live in Xinghua Village (now Xinghuachun Pavilion) to prevent her from living alone and being too lonely."
The emperor was heartbroken by Zhen Huan, and Concubine Rou, who had similar features to her, could take the opportunity to comfort her.
If someone plays the music, then someone has to sing the music.
Concubine Rou is a careful person, so she can find out whether Ying has agreed to this.
As soon as Prince Guo entered the palace to see Zhen Huan, he sent her an assistant.
His ambition could no longer be suppressed.
In his previous life, Prince Guo exchanged a beautiful Caiping for the emperor's dislike of Hongshi. What is he going to do in this life?
No matter what he wanted to do, An Lingrong would not give him the opportunity.
"Bao Que, Ying agreed to be a newcomer to the garden, so we'll assign a few people to serve her."
Before going to bed, An Lingrong felt that her preparations were not enough, so she asked someone to contact Prince Guo's Mansion.
