Chapter 341 She Doesn’t Like Embroidery
Chapter 341 She Doesn’t Like Embroidery
No matter how many twists and turns you have experienced in this world, or how big a blow you have suffered, all the pain will always pass with time.
However, time seemed to have never stopped for Sui Yuxuan, and time did not take away any of Sui Yuxuan's pain. Zhen Huan was always crying while holding a small piece of clothing that a doll wore.
The emperor doesn't go to Sui Yuxuan often anymore.
The Yanxi Palace was under martial law, but the emperor's grace continued.
After choosing and choosing, the emperor still felt that An Lingrong was the most obedient and docile.
Therefore, he often accompanied the emperor by replacing An Lingrong's name.
The second most favored one was Chun Changzai, who was innocent, lively and cute. But Chun was too naive. After a long time together, when the emperor wanted to recite a poem or write a lyric, Chun Changzai would just eat snacks beside him and sprinkle the snack crumbs on the paper. Or, Chun Changzai would say to the emperor who had been pausing for a long time:
"Your Majesty wants to write a poem, why not invite Sister Wan to come? Sister Wan has the best talent in this palace."
"Your sister Wan doesn't want to see me." The emperor revealed some of his true feelings to Chun'er.
After this sentence was spoken in the Yangxin Palace, Concubine Chun didn't know how to respond.
Su Peisheng watched from the side and could only say that the emperor was tired from handling government affairs and asked Chun Changzai to go back first.
Chun'er did not win the emperor's favor. The empress could only frown in Jingren Palace as she listened to the news from the eunuch in Yangxin Palace, but she was helpless.
Therefore, An Lingrong is still the most favored one now.
The rouge shops and embroidery workshops outside the palace had been quiet for a long time. There were no new products on the shelves. Every time the young ladies in the capital city entered the shops, they would just take a quick look and leave.
An Lingrong was too busy to handle everything, so after every night with the Queen, she had to go to the Queen's palace from time to time to listen to her lectures.
It's just that her treatment is a little better now than before. Before, she had to stand and obey when entering Jingren Palace, but later she could sit half of her butt on the embroidered stool for a while, and now An Lingrong is also a woman who can occupy a seat on the soft couch.
"Look at the silk threads on the embroidery frame. An Changzai hasn't taken care of them for a long time. In fact, it doesn't matter if the silk threads are tangled. As long as An Changzai can handle the social etiquette in the palace, it's fine."
The Queen asked Jianqiu to go to the small hanging stove in the kitchen to bring the medicine for An Lingrong, while she herself chatted with An Lingrong with a kind smile.
An Lingrong tried hard to support her sore lower back. After serving the Queen for several nights in a row, she was so sleepy that she could not even open her eyes. She followed the Queen's gaze and looked at the embroidery frame opposite.
Tsk tsk tsk, this embroidery frame has not been used for a long time. There is a thin layer of dust on it. Come to think of it, I haven’t looked at the sign on the embroidery frame in my own Yanxi Palace for a long time. When will this day end?
"An Changzai, are you tired?" The Queen saw An Lingrong staring at the embroidery frame in a daze, and also saw that An Lingrong could not help rubbing her lower back. She felt jealous and mixed emotions in her heart, but she still put on a smiling face.
"Your Highness, I was distracted while looking at the embroidery frame. Let me help you organize the threads."
It's not that An Lingrong didn't understand the "social ways" in the Queen's words just now, but she had been repeating the same thing over and over again in the past few days: "You are mine, you have to listen to me", and so on. An Lingrong really didn't want to deal with such admonitions anymore.
To be a favorite concubine, one must have good eloquence and must neutralize the jealousy in the Queen's heart. If it weren't for your poor family background, no one would want to waste time with you.
Although I have been favored a lot these days, I have also spent a lot of time talking and whispering in the middle of the night, asking the Emperor to visit the Empress more often.
An Lingrong had never thought that the Queen would not only have to win favor herself, but also have to send people to Jingren Palace herself. If the Emperor came to Jingren Palace, the Queen would definitely find An Lingrong and ask her three or four sarcastic questions.
For example, "Your Majesty, did you come to Jingren Palace because you really miss me?" At this time, An Lingrong had to smile and answer, "Your Majesty and the Empress are naturally in love with each other. How can anyone else compare to that?"
An Lingrong: Didn't you tell me yesterday that the emperor hadn't come to Jingren Palace for a long time? I've spent most of the night talking to him, and now I have to help you regain your confidence. Can I just go to the cold palace? This job is too difficult.
This cycle repeats itself over and over again. From the beginning, An Lingrong felt unlucky when she first discovered the Queen's twisted and unbalanced jealousy, but now she has become completely numb.
"Why would you need to do all this now?" The Queen held down An Lingrong, who was pretending to get up, and continued, "Your deft hands are very useful. By the way, is Noble Lady Fucha doing well in the Yanxi Palace?"
An Lingrong's groggy mind instantly sobered up when she heard the words "Noble Lady Fucha". She suddenly became alert, forced a smile, and replied in a low voice, "I don't know either. The Yanxi Palace is guarded by guards. I strictly abide by the palace rules and have never overstepped the boundaries."
"You are the most obedient and sensible." The Queen took a sip of the teacup and said, "When Noble Lady Fucha gives birth to a prince, I will ask the Emperor to release Noble Lady Fucha from her house arrest. You are the most favored one now. If the Emperor cannot take care of you at that time, you must also understand the Emperor."
Clearly stated! A clear and explicit statement!
An Lingrong twisted the handkerchief in her hand tightly, her mind spinning rapidly. After thinking for a long time, she decided to play dumb: "The Queen is kind and benevolent, and the concubines in the harem strictly abide by the virtues of women. How could I have any other ideas?"
"That's good. Concubine Fucha is about to give birth. You are very careful. How about this? You go to see Concubine Fucha more often for me. I will talk to the emperor about this."
An Lingrong had no idea what the Queen was thinking, and now she had no other choice but to say, "Yes."
"What a coincidence! The tonic I prepared for you has just arrived. You don't have to ask Jianqiu to take it to the Yanxi Palace. You can drink it here."
An Lingrong looked at the dark medicine in the bowl and drank it all in one gulp without any reluctance.
To be honest, although the queen is poisonous, there is really nothing harmful about this contraceptive drug. When I had my period last month, I found that my waist was not as sore and my stomach didn't hurt as much.
A good thing for those who don’t need to have children, it can invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, quite good.
The Queen looked at An Lingrong in front of her with satisfaction, as if she was looking at a docile toy that was completely under her control. The abnormal feeling of jealousy in her heart finally dissipated.
"Jianqiu, send An Changzai out for me."
When An Lingrong heard this, she immediately raised her buttocks, bowed to the Queen, and walked out.
After An Lingrong left, the Queen's expression turned cold and she asked Fuzi to take the embroidery frame away.
Today, I am just looking for an excuse to give An Lingrong a warning.
The one who loved to do embroidery was her dead sister. I don’t know if her sister is still so fond of doing it in the underworld.
