The Queen Mother said as she motioned to the serving maid beside her to bring a silver plate covered with bright red silk. On it was placed a red gold Hehe Ruyi hairpin with lotus flowers, double happiness characters and bats all over the body. On the head of the hairpin were the Hehe Immortals. .

An Lingrong observed carefully and found out that this wishful hairpin was a gift given to Meizhuang by the Queen Mother in the plot.

But for some unknown reason today, the Queen Mother did not keep it for Meizhuang, but gave it to her instead.

The Queen Mother waved An Lingrong forward and said with a smile: "When Hui Concubine was pregnant, the Ai family gave her a pair of jade bracelets with fragrant beads. Now I will give you this red gold combination and wishful hairpin. I hope you will become the emperor soon." Give birth to an heir, so that the Ai family can discuss the matter of becoming a concubine in front of the emperor."

An Lingrong's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately recalled all the troubles that occurred due to pregnancy in Meizhuang during the plot, and suddenly felt that the combination of red gold and wishful hairpin was not a good thing.

Because this red gold combination and wishful hairpin were worn by the Queen Mother when she was pregnant with the Fourteenth Master. The Emperor doesn’t like the Fourteenth Master to begin with. How could he not get angry when he saw this thing?
But having this gift at least proves that the Queen Mother is pouring all her efforts into her future and is preparing to increase her status in the harem.

Only in this way can the Queen Mother see her beloved Lao Si in the future.

While An Lingrong was stunned, the Queen Mother had inserted the hairpin firmly into her hair and said with a smile: "It really looks good."

An Lingrong hurriedly woke up and thanked her, with a smile in her ears and said: "The Queen Mother really feels sorry for Concubine An. When Concubine Hui was pregnant, the Queen Mother only gave her a jade pendant as a reward."

After such pleasantries, the Queen Mother told An Ling to take care of her pregnancy and health, and she personally took the medicine pillow and put it on. The smile on her face was much brighter than when An Lingrong came before.

After all, the Queen Mother's status is already among the highest-status women in the entire dynasty.

There are a few people who have climbed to this position who don't want to be healthier and live over a hundred years.

After thinking about it, An Lingrong took out a box of very small plasters from her arms and placed them on the table.

Looking at the plaster, the Queen Mother's face froze. She must have recalled the Queen's tricks of stealing chickens and losing rice, and her tone of voice was not so good.

However, Concubine An did her duty honestly in the harem, and even though she excelled in front of the emperor, the Queen Mother never heard of any bad rumors coming out of Yongshou Palace.

Therefore, the Queen Mother raised her hand and once again signaled Zhu Xi to open the small sapphire box with pastel green ammonite on the table.

When Zhu Xi opened it, she found a box of cool and fragrant transparent ointment. She couldn't help but ask, "Ms. An Bin, what is this?"

An Lingrong said with a smile: "This is jade dew agar ointment. The emperor was worried that the concubine might have a rash, so he ordered someone to send it over at noon."

Then she pointed to a small pastel box and said: "This is like jade frost, with blood stains condensed on it."

Seeing that An Lingrong spoke in an orderly and logical manner, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh that the woman born in a small family had become sharper now.

He couldn't help but look at her deeply, closed his eyes and nodded.

"Aijia is old. This rash is caused by the seasons and is not effective for older people. If An Bi wants to offer these ointments, please take them back. Aijia understands her kindness."

Compared to medicine pillows, the Queen Mother naturally looked down upon these plasters, because as long as she wanted them, people from the Queen Mother's Hospital could immediately send over a dozen different plasters to treat scars.

An Lingrong pretended to be slightly stunned, then smiled lightly and said: "Concubine, that's not what I meant. The medicine rewarded by the emperor and the medicine made by the Taiyuan Hospital are naturally good, but the concubines in the harem have different physiques and cannot just be anything. All the medicines are used. Secondly, some of the medicines rewarded by the emperor are tribute from other countries and may not be suitable for the concubines." The Queen Mother couldn't figure out what An Lingrong wanted to do. She opened her eyes again and thought about it, then nodded and said: " What An Bin said makes sense."

Seeing that the Empress Dowager took the bait, An Lingrong took out a small and delicate enamel flower-drawing round bowl from her sleeve and said: "This box of Shuhen glue is passed down from the Lingrong family. It is said that Madam Deng, the beloved concubine of Sun He, the Lord of Wu, was raped by Yu Ruyi." This is how you recover from an injury to your face.”

"It is made according to the ancient recipe with fish bone glue, amber, pearl powder, white otter marrow, jade chips and honey mixed with purified peach blossom juice."

An Lingrong eloquently said: "Peach blossoms and pearl powder make people's faces beautiful and beautiful, fish bone glue and honey make the skin smooth, jade chips and amber can heal wounds and smooth scars, especially white otter marrow is the most precious , make scars fade and look like new again.”

The exquisitely painted alms bowl hat is painted with gold-plated patterns of flowers blooming in all seasons.

The bowl is filled with milky white translucent paste, and the fragrance of flowers and plants is fragrant.Wherever you touch your hands, the coolness penetrates into your skin.

The Queen Mother, who holds a high position and has extensive knowledge, was surprised and said: "That's all. The white otter marrow is extremely rare, even in the palace."

An Lingrong listened with a smile and praised: "The Queen Mother is well-informed and well-informed, and she is very right."

After a pause, she continued: "I originally wanted to add some spices to make the smell sweet, but I thought that the Queen Mother usually avoids using spices, so I used more flowers to mediate the smell, so that I won't feel medicinal."

Then he handed it to Zhu Xi and said, "Aunt Zhu Xi, do you like it after hearing this?"

It was hard to resist the warm feeling of bamboo breath, so I had to smell it gently, and sure enough, I felt that the fragrance was rich and strong, as if I was in the boundless sea of ​​flowers in Shanglin Garden in spring.

She then smiled and said: "It's very good, but Concubine An forgot that the Queen Mother said before that the old people in the palace don't need this, and I can't accept this expensive plaster in front of the Queen Mother."

An Lingrong covered her lips and said, "The Queen Mother doesn't need it, but the Queen Mother can certainly use it."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother said with a straight face, "What does An Bin mean by this? Could it be that she wants the Ai family to personally give it to the Queen?"

An Lingrong knew that the Queen Mother was interested, and immediately knelt on the ground, her knees making a crisp sound.

Pretending to be frightened, she said, "I don't mean that. I just think that the Queen's phoenix body is the most important thing. It is related to the glory of the previous dynasty and her mother's family."

After saying this, without giving the Queen Mother a chance to think, An Lingrong raised her head again and cried: "I am from a humble family. After I contracted the rash, it would be fine if the emperor did not come to see me, but the empress is the emperor's wife! The day in the middle of the month is coming soon, can it be that the Queen Mother cannot bear to watch the Queen Mother and the Emperor separate? How will the people of the previous dynasty view the Queen and the Queen Mother, and what will the people of the mother's family think?"

These words pierced the Queen Mother's heart. She naturally knew that she had supported the Queen to ascend to the throne because she believed that the honor of her mother's family could not be tarnished by others.

When An Lingrong said this today, the Queen Mother immediately thought of the rumors of discord between the emperor and the empress spread from the previous dynasty, and Nian Gengyao's faction became increasingly rampant.

Sighing, the Queen Mother saw An Lingrong's pitiful appearance and stood up to pull An Lingrong up and said: "An Bin is interested. It was the Ai family who forgot about the rash on the Queen's body, so the Shuhenjiao family will accept it for the Queen." ”

After saying that, the Queen Mother changed the subject and said: "If this Shuhen Glue can really have an effect before the middle of the month, then the Ai family will definitely put in a few good words for you in front of the emperor. The matter of becoming a concubine is just around the corner."

"I thanked the Queen Mother." (End of chapter)
