Chapter 179 Zhen Huan 55
"Your Majesty, I am a mother whose status and position do not allow me to be worthy of your kindness."
Is being taken here a blessing? It's basically being held hostage by the queen. My mother's health is not good to begin with, how can she endure such suffering?
"I know you are smart, so you know how to choose, right?"
The Queen was very familiar with using both soft and hard tactics, so when she saw An Lingrong was frightened, her tone immediately softened again.
"Yes, I understand. I will prepare the spices as soon as possible and then have Baojuan send them to your palace. But, Your Majesty, I am timid. I am really powerless to do anything else."
She could make spices, but she could never get involved in anything that would harm others, so even though the Queen was looking at her with great anger, An Lingrong still refused to do anything other than make spices.
But even though she said this, An Lingrong was still scared to death in her heart, and her hands were so nervous that even the knuckles that were holding the handkerchief were turning slightly white.
"That's all, let's go down."
Although the Queen was not very satisfied seeing her like this, she also knew that she couldn't force it too much, so she turned her face cold and waved her hand, then ignored An Lingrong and began to rub her forehead.
Jianqiu, who watched the whole process, felt that An Lingrong was ungrateful. She glared at An Lingrong who had already stood up and wanted to leave quickly, and did not leave the palace to see her off as usual.
"My lady, this An Da Ying is really ungrateful."
After An Lingrong left, Jianqiu hurried forward and began to massage her head to relax her on behalf of the Queen.
"She is so timid, even if you let her do it, it might cause trouble. When she brings the things over, you should deliver them to the hidden man in Changchun Palace. Don't let them go wrong."
"I understand."
The Queen's plan was carried out in secret, and An Lingrong was also very quick. In less than three days, Baojuan came to Jingren Palace and delivered the prepared perfume powder.
Just after Grain Rain, all the flowers in the Imperial Garden bloomed, especially the peonies, the king of flowers, which, under the cultivation of the gardeners, exuded their gorgeous fragrance.
In addition, because students in Henan Province boycotted their exams in recent days, Yongzheng went to Henan incognito to investigate the reasons.
In addition to Prince Yi, whom Yongzheng truly loved, there was also Yinqi and the other prince, who had been bored in the capital, as well as Madam Liu and others.
Precisely because all the people in the palace who could suppress her had left, the Queen immediately sent people to each palace to convey her orders, hoping that today's event would be a perfect success.
"Master, the Queen is ready to take action"
When he received the news from the palace, Yinqi was eating Henan specialty snacks on the street with Jinzhong. Because he was too focused, he was startled by a sudden voice in his mind.
"Okay, I understand. Mr. Shun has our people protecting him.
You just need to help it get rid of some of the irritating powder, and the pine nuts will know what to do with the rest.
The Queen can’t stay idle, so we’ll find a way to make her stay idle.”
"Yes, Master, don't worry."
After breaking the connection with the puppet, Yin Qi turned around and looked at Jinzhong with questioning eyes.
"Don't worry, Songzi is still waiting for the dried fish I made. I promise to get everything done."
Seeing his lover looking at him, Jinzhong curled the corners of his lips slightly, and the voice in his mind was filled with gloating as if he was ready to watch a good show.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Yinqi raised his eyebrows in return to Jinzhong. Seeing that Jinzhong was in a much happier mood since leaving the palace, he couldn't help thinking in his heart that it seemed that he could consider the decision of leaving the palace and building his own residence.
But that would be at least seven or eight years later. If he dared to propose moving out of the palace now, his brothers would make a fuss for various reasons.
So after making sure that there were no problems in the palace, Yinqi and the others no longer paid attention to that place, but continued to stroll around the market.
In the royal garden.
Several concubines, led by the Queen, were chatting and laughing as they moved among the flowers.
The queen was surrounded in the middle of the group of people. On her left was Concubine Qi, who looked respectful and flattering. On her right was Concubine Shun, who was holding her belly and holding her head high.
"You're almost four months pregnant now, right? You should go out and walk around when you have nothing to do. It's boring to stay in the house all the time."
As they walked, the Queen turned her head from time to time to talk to Concubine Shun.
Just from the disdain and hint of excitement in her eyes, one could tell that she had absolute confidence in what she had arranged.
"Yes, the imperial physician said so, and also said that after four months, the fetus will be stable."
With the Queen's concern, Shun Guiren held her head higher, her face full of complacency.
"Oh, speaking of which, when I was pregnant with the Third Prince, I had severe morning sickness. My feet were so swollen that I couldn't even wear shoes."
As soon as the child was mentioned, Concubine Qi immediately interrupted and looked at Concubine Shun's feet before continuing.
"Hey, I think you're pretty good."
"I had some vomiting in the first two months, but now I rarely feel any other discomfort. It's because the baby in my belly loves me."
Speaking of children, Shun Guiren gently stroked her belly. Her face was no longer arrogant, but full of motherly love.
When Concubine Qi, who was on good terms with her, praised her child, Noble Lady Shun rarely said a few good words about him.
"I only hope that the baby in my belly will be as healthy and safe as the third prince after it is born."
The topic of their discussion about children reminded the queen of her own Honghui, and for a moment she couldn't help feeling a little flustered.
If Honghui were still alive, these bitches' children would never be able to match Honghui's qualifications.
Thinking of this, the Queen came to her senses and hated the fetus in Shun Guiren's belly even more. She didn't want to hear the two people bragging anymore.
"You need to exercise moderately now that you are pregnant, but you shouldn't stand for so long."
As he said this, he turned to look at Jianqiu behind him, gave him a look that showed he was ready to take action, and continued.
"Jianqiu, Lady Cishun, please go sit in the hall and get a goose feather cushion. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"Yes, ma'am"
Jianqiu got the hint and nodded slightly, then immediately turned around to make the arrangements.
"Thank you, Queen, for caring about me."
The Queen's words made Concubine Shun raise her head again. Supported by Sang'er behind her, she walked swayingly towards the pavilion not far away.
When she reached the pavilion, Jianqiu had already prepared the chairs for the pavilion with the palace maids. When they saw Concubine Shun coming, they all bowed and quietly left.
It would have been fine if I hadn’t mentioned rest just now, but as soon as I sat down, Shun Guiren felt a little tired.
She wiped the sweat from her face with the handkerchief in her hand, and glanced at the cakes and tea on the table. Shun Guiren suddenly felt a little hungry and thirsty.
Sang'er, who was standing behind, saw his master staring at the food on the table and about to reach out to take it. Seeing this, Sang'er quickly stepped forward, looked around and found that no one was paying attention, then he bent down and whispered a reminder in Shun Guiren's ear.
