Chapter 171 First meeting
"Huan'er, where is your mother?"
The emperor strode into the main hall, but did not meet the mother of the person he loved most, so he asked in confusion.
"I heard that the emperor was coming, so mother said goodbye and went back first."
Zhen Huan lamented her mother's caution and explained in a low voice.
"What? I'm so scared of people that I even scared my mother-in-law away!"
The emperor, who had come specially, questioned with a fierce face.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Mother always said that women outside the family should not be allowed to see the emperor. I am afraid it is against the rules."
"Father also often reminded Mother not to stay in the palace for too long, fearing that it would cause gossip."
Zhen Huan understood that her mother was using her actions to warn her to be cautious and to do her duty.
"Your father played a significant role in Prince Gong's rebellion, and I remember that. I heard that your father enjoyed collecting books, so I sent some to him."
The emperor likes the Zhen family’s courtesy and sense of propriety.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Zhen Huan bowed with a smile.
From what the emperor said, he intended to promote her father, so she naturally would not block her father's future.
When the emperor learned of the queen's arrangement, he wanted to come over and see if the Zhen mother and daughter, who were enjoying such an honor, had become too proud of themselves.
Judging from the fact that Zhen's mother avoided him early on, this family is still okay.
When the Queen of Jingren Palace heard that the Emperor was a step too late and failed to see Madam Zhen, she knew that the strategy of "beauty aging in the blink of an eye" had completely failed.
"Jianqiu, spread the news that Concubine Wan's mother has come to the palace to visit through Concubine He."
"Also have the Jingshifang add a sign that says Zhong Cui and Gong Rou agreed."
Rou agreed and Concubine Chun wanted to live their own lives in Zhongcui Palace without considering whether she agreed.
According to the pulse records of the Imperial Hospital, Rou Ying was weak and would never be able to give birth to a child in her lifetime.
The queen was very confident and asked Rou, whose voice was similar to that of Rouze the bitch, to agree to sleep with her.
The late emperor ate both meat and vegetables and was not picky about the palace maids, but the current emperor is very concerned about the background of his concubines.
In her opinion, Rou was destined not to go far.
And Rou Ying, who was in the Queen's thoughts, was holding a bowl of medicine and softly coaxing the pouting fair-skinned beauty in palace dress.
"My dear, would you please take a sip?"
"Only by taking medicine on time can you get better soon."
Fang Jiachun shook his head fiercely and looked pitifully at the person in front of him.
"Biyun, I feel much better now. I don't need to drink this bitter medicine."
Chun'er's face was wrinkled like a little bun. She had been taking medicine since her miscarriage.
"My dear, as long as you take the medicine obediently, Biyun will make you some white sugar cake, how about that?"
"Okay, then it's settled."
Chun'er, whose trick succeeded, drank the black medicine in one gulp with a bitter face.
Xiangyun, who was standing by, quickly handed over a cup of warm water.
"My dear, if you rinse your mouth it won't be so bitter."
The young lady was injured due to miscarriage. According to the imperial physician, she would recover quickly as long as she rested.
But unexpectedly, the two people living in Suiyuxuan took advantage of the emperor's favor and stole a lot of the young lady's things.
Biyun had no other choice but to use her voice, with the advice of someone in secret, to win the emperor's favor so that the servants in the palace would not dare to deduct their share.
After returning from the garden, Concubine Wan was the only one favored by the emperor, and he never summoned her again.
Biyun looked at the almost empty bag of sugar and thought about finding a time to meet the emperor.
As soon as the emperor, who was worried about him, came out of Suiyuxuan, he thought of An Lingrong, who was also accompanied by her mother.
He looked up at the sky and a majestic voice sounded.
"Su Peisheng, please go to Yonghe Palace."
The Zhen family did not disappoint him, and he wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of people Lin Anren and his son were.
As the saying goes, you can tell a person's future by looking at the age of three. We can see a lot from An Chengle, who is almost three years old.
When Lin, who was accompanying An Lingrong to make clothes, heard that the emperor's carriage appeared on the street, she stood up in panic with a pale face.
"Your Majesty, will the Emperor come to Yonghe Palace?"
The emperor had not hidden from Lin the fact that he had just gone to Suiyuxuan to arrest Zhen's mother.
She felt that judging from the emperor's behavior, he would most likely visit Yonghe Palace.
"Mother, don't panic."
"Aunt Xiao, please take my mother to the back hall to rest."
"Hongzhan can't bear to leave his uncle, so let Chengle stay in the house."
An Lingrong, who was unsure of the emperor's thoughts, gave orders in an orderly manner.
Bao Ge quickly put away the two teacups on the table to prevent the emperor from noticing that his wife was deliberately avoiding him.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."
An Lingrong bowed with a smile on her face.
"Rong'er, I told you that you're pregnant, so there's no need to be so polite."
The emperor, who disapproved, personally helped An Lingrong, who was squatting, up.
"Your Majesty, it is precisely because you care about me that I must not break the rules."
In her previous life, An Lingrong had lived with the emperor for more than ten years and knew that he loved to praise others and kill them.
If one day you offend him, even living might seem wrong.
Therefore, every time she interacted with the emperor, she was extremely cautious.
"Your Majesty, the weather is getting colder. Please come in and have some tea."
The emperor strode into the main hall. Two children, one fat and one thin, who were playing on the mat, saw someone coming and stared at him with their round eyes.
The chubby Hongzhan grinned, rushed towards the person who came, and shouted incoherently.
“Dad! Dad…”
The emperor picked up his fat son, weighed him gently, and pressed his son, who was eager to get up, into his arms.
"Our vision is really strong."
"I think it's more important than last time."
An Chengle, who was sitting on the mat, saw his playmate being held in someone's arms. He tilted his head and looked at the burly stranger several times.
After hesitating for a few breaths, he dropped the pony, trotted forward, hugged the man's legs, and shouted crisply.
"father!"
"I want to hold you!"
Although An Chengle is small, he has a loud voice.
The loud voice was heard by everyone inside and outside, and the emperor lowered his head in surprise to correct it.
"Boy! I am your brother-in-law, not your father!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! My father is paralyzed in bed and can't walk, so Chengle has developed a fondness for you, a man of such valor."
An Lingrong hurried forward to apologize, and pulled An Chengle, who was hugging the emperor's legs, back.
Unexpectedly, Chengle hugged him too tightly, and the emperor's legs began to shake.
She glanced at the emperor, whose expression changed, and quickly let go of her hand.
An Bihuai's current situation is inseparable from the emperor's summons to the capital.
The emperor, with mixed feelings, picked up the child who was looking at him eagerly.
"Rong'er, your brother is very strong. My Qing Dynasty will have another powerful general."
"Your Majesty, Chengle is still young and can't stand such praise."
An Lingrong knew that the emperor said this because he didn't take Chengle's childish words to heart.
She stepped forward to take Chengle, but the boy held the emperor's neck tightly, his watery eyes fixed on Hongzhan who was trying to pull his hand away.
In this way, the emperor sat on the couch with his arms around him, and it was only when An Lingrong used minced meat soup to lure the two children that he was able to escape.
Seeing that someone was coveting his father, Hongzhan always stayed by the emperor's side.
The person An Chengle fed the minced meat soup to also changed from his little nephew to the emperor he met for the first time.
