But as An Lingrong soaked, she felt that the water temperature was a little hot and cold.

But looking at the flowing pools and ditches below, and the flower petals sinking to the bottom from time to time, I didn't take it too seriously.

There are many concubines who come to the hot spring. They love to keep clean. The influence of changing and adding water, and the weather will cause problems with the pure natural hot spring water.

After bathing, An Lingrong asked Jinxi to wipe her body with essential oil.

Especially key areas such as the limbs need more massage to prevent joint stiffness and coldness in winter.

Just when An Lingrong was feeling comfortable being massaged by Jin Xi, suddenly, a big hand that wasn't rough but had a temperature obviously higher than Jin Xi's massaged her acupuncture points.

An Lingrong resisted the urge to kick her legs, slowly turned around and looked behind her.

"Your Majesty, you are playing tricks with me again. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been kicked out."

The emperor did not answer, and motioned Jin Xi to leave the bedside. He looked affectionately at An Lingrong, who had replaced Chun Yuan, who did not fight or snatch, and knew how to help him take care of the harem.

"Rong'er, thanks to you, my and Fucha's children were saved."

Even though the fifth elder brother was frail and sick, he always had to stay in the dust-free Nuang Pavilion, which had to be cleaned every once in a while.

But under the care of the imperial doctors and wealthy officials, he will definitely become healthier when he grows up safely.

Maybe, even better than Third Brother.

Fat Orange, who didn't have many sons, couldn't help but sigh in front of An Lingrong again.

"It is my duty to help the emperor take care of his worries. The important task of co-managing the harem is entrusted to me and Concubine Hua, so I will naturally do a good job."

An Lingrong slowly pulled back her legs and smiled as she looked at the love flowing in the emperor's eyes.

This is how she wants to occupy the emperor's heart step by step and replace the concubines in the harem.

Only in this way can her mother, her, and all the palace servants loyal to her in Yongshou Palace live safely to the age of leaving the palace and enjoy happiness.

After lingering with the emperor for a while, An Lingrong fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Concubine Hua was very dissatisfied with the extravagance of the palace people and asked everyone to have breakfast and go to her palace to listen to the instructions.

In this regard, the queen did not show any expression, citing physical discomfort as an excuse.
Concubine Hua's Nuantang Palace is a magnificent small attic, a small palace.

From the auspicious clouds and cranes carved on the stone walls of the palace, to the bronze handrails on the glazed tiles, to the bluestone lions in front of the door, they all demonstrate the aura of Concubine Hua herself.

Entering the main hall, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge picture of a blue bird, hanging high in the center.

The golden birds and jade sculptures in the picture are hidden in auspicious clouds, soaring into the sky, vivid and spiritual.

Concubine Hua sat upright on the seat, with long beads hanging on both sides of her cheeks, and the colorful fan with gold and peony in her hand was shaking constantly.

A pair of eyes seem to be open, but the carefully painted distant mountain eyebrows are extremely dazzling.

"Everyone is here, why is the noble lady pregnant and her body more delicate than others?"

No one could say anything good to Zhen Huan, who was pregnant and more popular than Concubine Hua.

Even Meizhuang was dissatisfied because Zhen Huan didn't speak for An Lingrong and stopped her behavior before. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ninghai outside said: "The noble lady is here!"

Zhen Huan's late arrival made the already somewhat stagnant atmosphere even stiffer.

Concubine Hua sat there high and listened to Zhen Huan explain what happened on the road. She waved her hand and did not embarrass her.

An Lingrong was a little suspicious when she let Zhen Huan off so easily.

Concubine Hua, she's not stupid enough to attack Zhen Huan in Tangquan, right?

Now she doesn't have Cao Qinmo to help her. How can she defeat Zhen Huan on her own?

Patiently, An Lingrong listened to Concubine Hua's nagging about coming to the hot spring pool to enjoy, but she still couldn't forget to save money for the emperor and prepare for the New Year.

While talking, he didn't forget to step on An Lingrong a few times and pick out some flaws that ordinary people wouldn't even notice.

An Lingrong listened patiently and followed Concubine Hua's words without further explanation.

For a moment, Concubine Hua could not find anything wrong with the concubines present.

After a few more words, it was time for snacks.

Songzhi served everyone good snacks, put a nice small table to entertain the concubines, and served good tea that the concubines could not usually drink.

Everyone who was tensing up and waiting for Concubine Hua to use her powerful move also relaxed a little.

While eating her tea, Chun'er rolled her eyes, sniffed the spices that Songzhi had just added to the stove, and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, the soup in the palace smells so good. I wonder what spices were used?"

Concubine Hua's eyebrows were filled with pride and she said: "Chun Changzai has a nice nose! This is a spice carefully prepared by the emperor, called Huanyixiang. I am the only one in the harem who uses it. I don't think you are here." Those who have entered Yikun Palace have naturally never seen it."

If you say this in public, everyone will be a little embarrassed and jealous.

However, Concubine Hua didn't feel anything and just pretended to fan herself, not afraid of getting cold.

An Lingrong smiled slightly, glanced at the knowledgeable Mei Zhuang, and then said, "I am not as well-informed as Concubine Hua."

By coincidence, Zhen Huan said something, which angered Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua looked at Zhen Huan's swollen body and said with a smile: "I heard that the noble lady has practiced dancing since she was a child. I wonder if I can dance here in this palace so that I can show it to the emperor during the New Year?"

Zhen Huan subconsciously rejected Concubine Hua's words, but Concubine Hua still refused to give up and helped Zhen Huan put on some shoes for being late.

Moreover, Concubine Hua especially said to Chun Changzai and Xinbin: "If you feel that your body is heavy and the fetus in your belly is more than four months old, please ask Chunchang to dance with Xinbin and give me some relief. The horizon is widened."

Hearing this, Zhen Huan had to dance because Chun Chang was waiting for someone.

After the dance ended, everyone praised Zhen Huan for dancing well.

Zhen Huan also seemed to have found the feeling of dancing back then, and looked at Concubine Hua proudly.

Little did they know that this provocative behavior aroused the jealousy of Concubine Hua.

With different reasons, Concubine Hua asked Zhen Huan to dance again.

Once Zhen Huan couldn't dance anymore, she didn't force it, but let Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai serve her with good tea and pastries.

After everyone finished chatting, Zhen Huan continued dancing.

Once, twice, three times, Zhen Huanren would forget it.

However, after Concubine Hua made new demands one after another, Zhen Huan deliberately tripped during a dance in an attempt to create a panic with a flop, which aroused the emperor's concern, and Concubine Hua was punished.

However, Zhen Huan had not calculated that the core of the fruit that Chun Chang was eating fell to the ground.

What was originally a deliberate twist of the ankle turned into a real fall to the ground, belly down.

"Huan'er!" "Sister Wan!?"

"Your Majesty?!"

Everyone was in chaos, and even Concubine Hua was so frightened that she collapsed on her chair and could not recover for a long time.

When Zhen Huan opened her eyes, her body felt soft for a moment. She was finally in her own palace and no longer had to be bullied by Concubine Hua.

When I squinted my eyes slightly, I caught a glimpse of a bright yellow area that was as bright as the sun. I felt relieved and burst into tears.

When the emperor saw Zhen Huan waking up, he was also surprised. He held Zhen Huan's hand and said anxiously: "You finally woke up!"

Behind him, the queen also breathed a long sigh of relief: "God bless you! It will be fine when you wake up! You have been unconscious for a whole day."

An Lingrong shook her head and lamented that Zhen Huan was so clever that she danced wrongly and fell on the table, causing the fetus in her belly to disappear in another form.

The child is innocent.

No matter how much she looked down on Zhen Huan, she would not take the initiative to abort Zhen Huan's fetus.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Zhen Huan was a little confused. She felt a cold and sharp pain in her throat as she breathed, as if a small blade was cutting her.

The pain gradually awakened Zhen Huan's mind.

She seemed to have not spoken for hundreds of years, and it was very difficult for her to speak, "Your Majesty, you are here."

The emperor endured his grief and said: "Don't cry, I can't help you anymore!"

His eyes were full of deep regret and sadness, which frightened Zhen Huan for no reason.

She didn't dare, but in the end she reached out her hand and carefully touched her belly.

However, almost overnight, the slight bulge turned back to a flat appearance.

The emperor's eyes were filled with endless pity and unspeakable pain.

The emperor hugged Zhen Huan tightly, his expression seemed confused and troubled.

He stared at the queen, almost frustrated to the extreme and weak to the extreme, "Is God punishing me?"

The queen was deeply shocked when she heard this.But for a moment, her eyes became firm and strong.

The queen quickly wiped away her tears, walked steadily to the emperor, and half-knelt on the couch.

In front of An Lingrong and Zhen Huan, the queen looked at the emperor calmly and solemnly said every word: "The emperor is the son of God. God will not punish you and your heirs. Besides, the emperor is never wrong. Where is the word punishment?"

She paused and said to the emperor as if comforting and affirming: "If there is really a punishment, it will be entirely my concubine's fault and has nothing to do with the emperor."

Zhen Huan was confused when she heard this, but she had no time to care and didn't want to understand.

Only An Lingrong looked at the queen with admiration, then lowered her head and played the role of Zhen Huan's good sister and the emperor's interpreter.

The emperor, who had never heard the queen's remarks before, seemed to be greatly comforted, and his expression improved slightly.

But Zhen Huan cried so hard that she choked and her body shook violently.

The queen said: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to be sad. Wan Gui's loss of his son is not a natural disaster, but Concubine Hua's fault."

As soon as the queen reminded her, Zhen Huan suddenly woke up, and the scene in Nuantang Palace was vividly before her eyes.

The emperor's face was as gloomy as iron. He looked around and said coldly: "Where is the bitch?"

Su Peisheng, who was standing at the back of the crowd and regretted that Zhen Huan was pregnant, heard the emperor calling him and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Concubine Hua is kneeling and waiting outside the door of Lihua Tang Pavilion. She has already taken off her hairpin to await her punishment, and her body bones are almost frozen." Stiff."

The emperor's expression was as frozen as ice, showing no sign of pity for Concubine Hua, and said: "Pass it to her!"

Concubine Hua's face was also haggard and stained with tears, and she no longer looked as charming as before.

She didn't dare to look at An Lingrong and the others. She knelt down and sobbed as soon as she came in.

Before the emperor could speak, she was already crying: "I am guilty. I saw that the noble lady was late, and I contradicted the concubine. I just wanted to give a small punishment as a warning. I did not mean to cause the noble concubine to have a miscarriage." ."

The emperor gasped, and the veins on his forehead popped out, and said: "You are ignorant. Don't you know that the noble lady is pregnant for four months?"

Concubine Hua had never seen the emperor so furious. She was so frightened that she lowered her head and shed tears.

An Lingrong couldn't stand how Concubine Hua blindly abused her for the sake of love, so she said: "Concubine Hua just said that Sister Wan was already four months pregnant and the fetus was stable, so she was not afraid to dance a song for the concubines to appreciate. The figure is an eye-opener for everyone. Who would have thought that Sister Wan would fall to the ground..."

Concubine Hua was so frightened that she didn't care to refute An Lingrong.

She was seen kneeling down at the emperor's feet, hugging his legs, with tears streaming down her face.

"I am ignorant. I think that the noble man has food in the Nuan Pavilion and the stove is on. Even if he jumps for half an hour, nothing will happen."

After saying that, she suddenly got startled, pointed at Jiang Cheng who was standing beside her, and said sternly: "How did you become an imperial physician? She is already four months pregnant, how come she has a miscarriage in less than half an hour? You imperial doctors must have given her something wrong, and you are still relying on me!"

Jiang Cheng was intimidated by her momentum, rolled up his sleeves and said: "Little Master Wan has signs of uneasy fetal movements. This is due to the weakness of the mother's body, but it is normal. The only thing wrong is that Little Master Wan is too careful, so the pulse It's not stable. It's not a serious problem, as long as you have a good rest..."

The implication is that he intends to clean up all the faults between himself and Concubine Hua, relying on the fact that Zhen Huan is frail and sick.

The emperor shouted loudly and said to Concubine Hua: "Shut up! She is over-intentioned and it's not because you suppress her everywhere. As long as you can tolerate others, why do you do this!"

Concubine Hua was so shocked that she collapsed on the ground, her face turned earth-colored.

He called the Queen: "Go to the Sixth Palace to inform the Sixth Palace that Concubine Hua's promotion to the throne is not allowed to be discussed any more. We will go together to assist in the management of the Sixth Palace. We will not see each other again without an edict."

The queen agreed, then hesitated slightly: "Then do you want to tell the Queen Mother?"

The emperor waved his hand tiredly: "The rich and noble man's child has just been born for a while. The queen mother cannot bear the excitement, so she should put it down for now."

The Queen responded softly and said: "The Queen Mother's concubine will take care of everything, your Majesty, don't worry."

As if being struck by lightning, Concubine Hua still hugged the emperor's calf with both hands, begging for mercy.

An Lingrong couldn't bear it, pulled Concubine Hua up, and said: "Concubine Hua, please come back. Now that Sister Wan's child is gone, even if the emperor is willing to forgive you, can you compensate Sister Wan for a child?"

"child……"

Concubine Hua heard what An Lingrong said and went out without struggling.

Then, An Lingrong looked at the empress who was intent on talking to the emperor, and Zhen Huan who was absent-minded, and said: "Your Majesty, let me have a conversation with sister Wan. You and the empress have not slept all night, and your health is very important."

The queen looked at An Lingrong approvingly, took the emperor's hand, and tried to pull it.

The emperor didn't know if he didn't dare to face Zhen Huan who had no child at the moment. He comforted her for a few words and left.

An Lingrong looked at Zhen Huan who had lost her soul, sighed, put aside her calculations for the first time, and said, "Sister Wan."
