Chapter 43
Leisure time is always short-lived. Days pass by and the day of delivery in Meizhuang will come in the blink of an eye.

An Lingrong got up early, but it was raining outside. At first it was just a light drizzle, but then it became heavier and heavier, gradually becoming a heavy rain.

The fresh air of the vegetation outside the hall was filled with water vapor, and there was a refreshing cold fragrance.

Close your eyes and listen to the fine water curtain woven by thousands of threads.

After a while, An Lingrong opened her eyes and saw Jin Xi holding an umbrella and walking in with the spices sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Noticing that Jin Xi's shoulder was soaked by the rain and her body was still trembling slightly, An Lingrong said, "I'm sorry you've been running so fast. Go change your clothes first and warm yourself by the fire."

"This is what slaves should do."

Jin Xi replied with a smile, put down the spices in her hand that had not been stained by rain, and walked into the inner room to change her clothes.

Baojuan, who knew how to deal with the world, hurriedly cooked a thick dose of ginger soup for Jinxi to drink, fearing that the mainstay of Yongshou Palace would fall ill.

They only know how to fight and kill, rushing in front of Empress An Bin to protect her.

As for things like accounting and managing the palace, all the things that require brainpower depend on Aunt Jinxi.

Therefore, they can't let people freeze.

It was a boring rainy day, and there were still more than ten days before Sister Mei's delivery. An Lingrong was sitting in the Nuan Pavilion embroidering with nothing to do. The servants in the palace had nothing else to do, and they all gathered around and whispered, It seems that Yongshou Palace becomes more and more peaceful.

After finishing the meal in the small kitchen, An Lingrong saw that after the spring rain, the flowers and leaves grew even more prosperously. The apricot trees did not wither and fall after the heavy rain, but bloomed more colorfully, like the morning glow condensed on a tree. film.

In vain, I felt a little more eager to go out and play.

Jin Xi, who was guarding An Lingrong, said, "Madam, there is a new swing made by craftsmen in the garden. I wonder if your Majesty would like to take a look."

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes."

An Lingrong sat in front of the bronze mirror, picked out a jade hairpin of excellent quality, and inserted it into her hair. She also grabbed a handful of pins inlaid with small pearls and inserted them into her hair into a half-moon shape.

She looks a little plain and elegant, without the aura of a concubine.

An Lingrong picked up another pair of dotted earrings and put them on. She turned her head and could see the beauty's embryo in the bronze mirror, and felt very satisfied.

After casually dotting two drops of insect-repellent rose essential oil on her body, she put on her concubine's armor and carried the fragrant An Lingrong with her, leaving Jin Xi to accompany her alone. The two of them walked slowly towards the garden.

Not long after, An Lingrong saw the exquisite swing hanging there from a distance.

The surrounding flowers were in bud, and there were even a few birds that appeared out of nowhere and chirped on the branches.

Asking Jinxi to wipe away the rainwater on the swing, An Lingrong sat down.

Jin Xi stood behind An Lingrong, pushing the swing with very slow gestures, and swayed slowly for a few times. Suddenly, she heard a woman behind her scolding her harshly: "Who is on the swing! Why can't I come over after seeing Xia Changzai!" "

When An Lingrong heard the voice of the palace maid next to Chang Xia, she was probably a newly arrived person. She couldn't even remember her figure or Jin Xi beside her, and her expression was a little unhappy.

An Lingrong, who slowly turned her head but did not leave the swing, saw a short, savage woman wearing low-class palace maid clothes, standing under the tree with her hands on her hips, her face full of pride.

Standing next to her is Xia Dongchun, who has her back turned, eyes closed, smelling the fragrance of flowers, and wearing a flowing skirt. Xia is always there.Seeing An Lingrong turn around, the savage palace maid who still didn't know the heights of heaven and earth pointed at her and shouted: "If you don't come over yet, I'm talking about you."

Behind An Lingrong, Jin Xi, who was pushing the swing, was immediately angry. He still tried his best to endure it, maintaining the smile on his face and pulling the reins of the swing hard.

After making sure that the swing was no longer shaking and that An Lingrong could get down and stand up at any time, Jin Xi angrily said, "My wife is the concubine An of Yongshou Palace. If you, a palace maid, dare to point at my wife again, your fingers will be in danger."

I heard that the person sitting on the swing, wearing simple and elegant clothes, was the famous Concubine An in the harem.

The palace maid suddenly showed a timid look in her eyes. She looked at An Lingrong's figure, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "I charged at Concubine An. I deserve to die. Please forgive me."

While the palace maid was speaking, she couldn't help but pull on Xia Dongchun's skirt, as if she was afraid and her body was shaking.

Xia Dongchun's body stiffened while she was admiring the flowers with her eyes closed, her eyes narrowed, and she came closer and said, "Who do I think is so elegant? It turns out to be Empress An, who is blessed with good fortune, and the concubine's maid came here." Soon, the concubine, who is not familiar with the harem, asked the concubine An to forgive me."

Xia Dongchun, who had been favored by the emperor one after another, had since cured his lameness, and was no longer suppressed by the noble Fucha. Although his speech was much better than before, his expression was very disrespectful, and he only nodded slightly in salute, without even bending his knees.

An Lingrong smiled lightly and said: "Xia Changzai is no less elegant than me. Not long after the rain stopped, he wanted to come to the garden and sit on the swing. Is this leg really healed? No need to see the imperial doctor again?"

She just felt that her life was too leisurely, and Concubine Hua and others did not take the initiative to find trouble. They were keen to take the emperor to Yikun Palace to eat and sleep.

Unexpectedly, Xia Dongchun, who had not arranged a mission for a long time, and was a little carried away, would actually take the initiative to hit her gun.

Then don't blame her for being ruthless.

The corners of Xia Dongchun's eyes fluttered as she was poked in the painful spot by An Lingrong. She seemed to think that she was relying on the empress in front of her and Jin Xi behind her, and her eyes and tone became gentler again.

"My sister serves the emperor too many times on weekdays. It is rare for her to take time out to walk around and see the scenery of the garden. She never thought of meeting Concubine An. I'd better give my concubine a seat on this swing."

After saying that, without waiting for An Lingrong's reply, the brainless Xia Dongchun covered her lips and smiled before leaving.

How could An Lingrong let such a good venting bag leave like this? She changed her mind and whispered: "Then I would like to thank my sister. If my sister's mother's family hadn't given them all their help, my father wouldn't have been able to do it so quickly. I’m about to be promoted.”

"What do you mean by your mother's words?"

Xia Dongchun stopped and looked at An Lingrong with a puzzled face, "I wonder what my sister means when she says that her mother's family will give her full support?"

An Lingrong said with a smile: "This is not allowed to be spread outside. My sister comes here and I will tell you slowly."

"Ah."

Xia Dongchun waved her hand, and the palace maid who followed her took the lead and left the garden, standing in the corner.

"Since there are no outsiders, I can get straight to the point."

An Lingrong walked to Xia Dongchun, smiling softly but not smiling, and whispered: "My sister's brother and father were in the palace to make things easier for my sister a few days ago, but they were greedy for a lot of money outside and asked someone to send it in. "

"It's just that this matter fell into my hands for some reason. Sister, do you think that if I hand it over to my father and let him impeach my sister's father and brother, will I be able to get promoted and make a fortune?"

"you!"
