Chapter 225 Sharing
The emperor pondered for a moment and finally picked out a suitable candidate from the many concubines in the harem.
"Since Rong'er has concerns about this, how about I let Huipin take on some of the palace duties?"
Shen Meizhuang had briefly dabbled in palace management, and she had a strong background, so the Queen would definitely be wary of her.
The most important point is that Shen Meizhuang and the arrogant Concubine Wan are like sisters, and the emperor also wants her to take care of Sui Yuxuan.
"Your Majesty, I believe in you and will obey you."
An Lingrong gently leaned her head on the emperor's chest and agreed with a smile.
With a child and power in the palace, she didn't care where the emperor's heart lay.
Even if his heart broke into millions of pieces, with a person hidden in each piece, it would have nothing to do with her.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. You have an early court tomorrow. May I help you to bed?"
An Lingrong deliberately used the voice that the Queen had once trained her to speak softly to comfort him.
The emperor was slightly startled, then obediently followed her into the inner room.
"Rong'er, you've become more stable."
The night was extremely quiet. The emperor did not make any more trouble and spent the whole night gently holding An Lingrong in his arms.
The next day, the emperor left Yonghe Palace quietly. When An Lingrong woke up, she received the imperial edict sent by Su Peisheng.
It clearly stated that she should go to Yiku Palace and follow Concubine Hua to learn how to handle palace affairs.
"The Emperor is truly not afraid of trouble. He could have just sent a verbal message, but he actually drafted a special imperial edict."
"Lingrong, do you think the Emperor is afraid that I will bully you?"
"Is this the kind of person I am?"
"Sister Nian, you are still pregnant with the dragon fetus, please don't get angry."
An Lingrong stepped forward and pulled the excited person back onto the couch.
Ever since Concubine Hua became pregnant, the person she couldn't stand the most was the Emperor, and of course the Empress who was determined to take advantage of her.
But today, she could hardly suppress her anger towards the emperor.
An Lingrong winked at Songzhi and Baoque, and they understood and walked out of the door.
"Sister Nian, I see you're in a bad mood, is there anything bothering you?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Hua began to burst into tears that she had been holding back.
"Lingrong, the Emperor asked Zhang Wuwei to help me with my pregnancy."
"Doctor Zhang is a skilled doctor. Having him help my sister maintain her pregnancy is an opportunity no one else can hope for."
Xiao Xia Zi said that Zhang Wuwei was an upright and loyal person, and with him taking Concubine Hua's pulse, An Lingrong would not worry that the Queen would do something secretly.
"Lingrong, when I was pregnant in the palace, the emperor personally assigned the palace doctor to take care of me."
"Later, someone drugged her and she gave birth to a fully grown male fetus."
"The Jiang brothers came to the palace a few days ago to show their courtesy and accidentally mentioned that after the dragon fetus in the womb is four months old, it will be possible to tell whether it is a boy or a girl."
"I am worried that the child in my belly will repeat the same mistakes..."
An Lingrong finally understood that Concubine Hua was worried about the baby in her belly.
She was worried that the emperor would not tolerate a prince with Nian family blood and would cruelly eliminate him.
"Sister Nian, leave everything to me. Just relax and take care of your pregnancy."
An Lingrong still has a trump card in her hand.
Seeing that Concubine Hua was really uneasy, she leaned over and whispered a few words to her.
"Retribution, it's really retribution!"
"I'm really looking forward to the day when the truth is revealed."
"Lingrong, everything depends on you."
Having resolved a worry, Concubine Hua took An Lingrong aside and talked about the secret of handling palace affairs.
Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai also added a few words from time to time.
An Lingrong benefited a lot from staying in Yiku Palace for more than an hour.
"Sister Nian, I can't stay any longer, so I'll take my leave now."
"Lingrong, don't be too anxious. I can handle it. Shen Meizhuang used to learn palace affairs from me, from morning till night."
"If you go back so early, won't you attract the attention of the old queen?"
"I haven't had much of an appetite lately. How about you stay for lunch?"
Concubine Hua awkwardly invited people to have dinner with her.
"Okay, I will stay here and listen to Sister Hua's teachings."
An Lingrong was once trapped in Yonghe Palace to take care of her pregnancy, and she knew how difficult it was.
"You're smart! Let's continue."
"The Empress Dowager's grandfather was once the head steward of the Imperial Kitchen. The Wuya clan took this opportunity to cultivate many confidants."
"Later, these men were handed over to the Empress Dowager, who served the late Emperor, and gradually developed into a force that could not be underestimated."
"When I was in charge of the Imperial Kitchen, I discovered that many people there were loyal to the Queen Mother."
"Although the Imperial Kitchen is well-stocked, there is little left in my hands."
"Listen to me and don't mess with this mess in the imperial kitchen."
"But the one in Jingren Palace is always shrewd, so he probably won't assign you any good work."
Both of them understood that this was a rare opportunity.
The emperor is willing to let An Lingrong assist in the palace affairs this time, and there will be a second chapter later.
Concubine Hua did not hide anything and told An Lingrong all the twists and turns, even revealing the people she had planted herself.
"Lingrong, no matter what task the old lady Queen assigns you, the people I have arranged will help you."
"Thank you, Sister Nian."
An Lingrong also placed people in the Imperial Household Department, but compared with Concubine Hua's years of management, it was still insufficient.
Several of the managers were familiar to her.
Because of the Queen's summons, An Lingrong was unable to have lunch with Concubine Hua.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to Her Majesty Shu Guifei."
"Please stand up. Sister Huipin has also received a summons from the Empress?"
An Lingrong went to Yiku Palace openly under the emperor's order. It was not surprising that Shen Meizhuang knew her whereabouts.
The fact that they could meet at this moment meant that Shen Meizhuang was waiting for someone outside on purpose.
"Your Highness, I have indeed been summoned by the Empress."
Shen Meizhuang learned from the person who delivered the message that the Queen Mother had also sent people to look for Concubine Shu, so she waited outside Chuxiu Palace.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, why the Queen summoned me?"
"Last night, the Emperor expressed his wish for me to share the responsibilities of the palace with the Empress. I declined, fearing I wouldn't have the time to care for the children, and recommended other sisters instead. I'm sure the Empress is looking for us for this very purpose."
An Lingrong appropriately revealed some inside information.
"I thank the Imperial Concubine for her support."
Shen Meizhuang knew that she still lacked some skills in handling palace affairs.
The fact that she was able to touch the palace power this time must have been due to the help of Concubine Shu.
"If you need me in the future, Your Majesty, please give me your orders."
An Lingrong did not take this to heart. Shen Meiyu had suffered a setback with Zhen Huan, and she would not touch anyone outside her circle.
The best outcome would be as long as she doesn't become my enemy in the future.
