After transforming into An Lingrong, he became the King of Juan and was crowned the Sixth Palace.

Chapter 24 Pink and delicate, how old are you now?
So, An Lingrong gave another instruction, "When the sour plum soup is no longer so hot, sprinkle in an appropriate amount of sweet-scented osmanthus, find a strainer, filter the sour plum soup, and put it into a container. There are still materials left in the pot, and the remaining waste can be added Add an appropriate amount of water and continue boiling it again.”

"I'll give you the leftovers to drink. Although it's not that hot today, drinking a few bowls of sour plum soup will make you feel better."

"Thank you, little master!"

The sweet-toothed palace maids were all smiles, knowing that the mistress loved them, and they could even enjoy the summer sour plum soup that is unique to the royal family.

"There's nothing to be happy about. You just need to do your part. Good times are yet to come."

Before leaving, An Lingrong gave one last instruction, "After everything is done, put it in a cool place and wait for an hour. The longer it lasts, the better the taste will be."

"Jinxi, come with me to Changchun Palace and meet Concubine Qi."

"Baojuan, after you've finished it, take about three people and come to Changchun Palace to find me. If it's not convenient to get it, ask a few little eunuchs to help."

"Don't worry, little master, I have all remembered it."

Seeing this, An Lingrong left the kitchen with peace of mind.

Baojuan and Baoping were both trained by Xiangfang, and their skills were focused on killing people, preventing assassins, and identifying herbs and poisons.

Unless the emperor sent a character similar to the Blood Drop to cause trouble in the small kitchen of Yongshou Palace.

Otherwise, even if the concubines in the harem wanted to harm her and secretly called the slaves who worked for them and were willing to fight to the death, they would not be able to defeat the two of them.

When they arrived at Concubine Qi's palace, An Lingrong acted as coquettishly as ever and asked Jin Xi to tell the people inside that she was here.

"Hey, what kind of wind has brought the noble nobles to this palace? I can't accommodate the noble nobles in this palace."

Seeing An Lingrong coming, Concubine Qi went out but her expression was not good.

Presumably she suspected that An Lingrong knew that the third elder brother could not get any benefits from the emperor, and came here specifically to ridicule her as a mother.

"Concubine Qi, it is the concubine's tolerance that she cannot tolerate concubines. It is the concubine's ability that she can tolerate the concubine."

The tea talk made Concubine Qi upset, but she didn't dare not wait to see An Lingrong.

After all, the queen had given her eye drops and said that she must try her best to win An Lingrong over.

Regarding this, even if Concubine Qi no longer liked An Lingrong, she still told Cui Guo openly, "Let her come in."

"Thank you madam."

Entering Concubine Qi's palace, An Lingrong saw Concubine Qi's pink clothes and couldn't help but think of what the big orange cat said to Concubine Qi.

Pink and delicate, you are today...

Whoops, off topic.

An Lingrong came back to her senses and whispered softly: "Concubine Qi, my concubine paid a sudden visit today. It's actually for the good of my third elder brother."

Sure enough, Concubine Qi's expression suddenly changed when she heard An Lingling mentioned her precious son. She quickly asked Cui Guo and Jin Xi to go down, came to An Lingling's side, and said nervously: "For Third Brother , but what did Third Brother do to disgrace the Emperor without telling me?"

These words made An Lingrong very speechless. Concubine Qi's brain was really not working well. No wonder that as a concubine, she ended up committing suicide out of fear of crime, and her third elder brother was robbed by the queen.

Sighing, An Lingrong said to Concubine Qi with a sincere expression: "My concubine, I know that these words are likely to make the concubine angry, but they can make the third elder brother exposed in front of the emperor." Show your true ability and make the emperor happy, I wonder if your Majesty will listen to it."

"Say it, say it now!"

Seeing that An Lingrong was afraid to speak, the anxious Concubine Qi quickly raised her right hand, pointed at the sky, and said anxiously: "I swear to God, I will never let anyone know about today's events, even if it's your plan. It won't work for the emperor, and I will never hold a grudge against you." Over the years, Concubine Qi had already had enough of being ridiculed by Concubine Hua, the emperor was cold, and the queen looked like she was failing and causing the third elder brother to suffer.

Now that she finally had An Lingrong, who was waiting for her the first day and was named a noble the next day, how could she not look forward to a satisfactory answer from the other party?
"Mother, what do you think of Third Brother's height?"

In order to keep the topic going happily, An Lingrong asked a question.

"Of course he is very tall. Back then, the emperor personally praised the third elder brother's height. He was taller than several of the late emperor's children."

When it comes to the third elder brother's body, Concubine Qi introduces him with excitement. People who don't know about it may think that Concubine Qi is going to mediate with An Lingrong to promote the third elder brother.

"Okay, empress, since you know that Third Brother is tall and strong, why don't you develop Third Brother's equestrian skills and his ability to lead troops, instead of studying the knowledge in books?"

An Lingrong gave a brand new answer, an unprecedented new idea.

The third elder brother is not good at studying and is relatively stupid.

But with his height and physique, he was indeed a young man who could fight in front of all the descendants of the late emperor.

Moreover, at this time, the emperor had a headache because the previous dynasty was busy with war matters.

Therefore, Nian Gengyao vigorously developed his power in the northwest and other places. Concubine Hua caused a quarrel in the harem, but the emperor tolerated it.

"What do you mean, Lord Qing, to ask me to persuade the emperor to make the third elder brother a soldier?"

Concubine Qi, who had always cherished her third elder brother, fell silent.

She never thought of letting her third brother stay away from the capital and go to war.

Those things are not what the emperor should do, but what the ministers should do.

"Concubine Qi, I know you are reluctant to let go of Third Brother, but have you ever considered why Concubine Hua and the Queen are targeting you so often?"

Considering that Qi Erha might not understand the hint, An Lingrong, who decided to take down Concubine Qi in one go, directly moved out the Queen and Concubine Hua.

"My Majesty, why don't you think about it, why have the concubines in this palace died in childbirth one by one over the years? There is no way to continue the bloodline for the emperor. Even the prince only has the third elder brother?"

In order to prevent Concubine Qi from becoming suspicious, An Lingrong specially hid the fourth brother who was not popular with everyone.

Only the old people in the palace knew about that kind of thing. If she said it now, it would easily have the opposite effect.

"What the noble Qing means is that the Queen and Concubine Hua are secretly tampering with each other, causing accidents to happen to the concubines in the harem one after another?"

In fact, Concubine Qi also had doubts about this.

After all, the emperor was physically strong. Whether in the palace or in the palace, many sisters were pregnant one after another, but the number of children born was very few.

For example, the children of Xingui Ren, the children of Concubine Hua, etc., there are countless others.

"Concubine Qi, be careful. You might as well think about it, if when the emperor gets older, the third elder brother is still not favored in his studies, and others say it is because of concubine Qi's lax discipline, what will the emperor do? What do you think? What will everyone in the harem think?"

"Is it better to give Third Brother a different mother, or to take away the mother and take away the son?"

An Lingrong's smile was so meaningful that Concubine Qi was on pins and needles.
