Chapter 556 The Legend of Zhen Huan An Lingrong 13
She put down the jade hairpin in her hand, stood up and walked forward, with a bit of coquettishness in her tone: "Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could prepare earlier."
"I come here every day. Do I need to inform you in advance?" Yinzhen walked forward with a smile, gently held her in his arms, and bent down to kiss her forehead.
An Lingrong raised her head, her eyes moving, and answered in a ambiguous tone: "Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs. How dare I trouble you to come every day? It's just... I miss you sometimes."
As she spoke, she leaned her head gently on Yinzhen's chest as if inadvertently, with a hint of shyness and dependence in her tone.
Yinzhen's heart seemed to be gently touched by something, and it was incredibly soft. He looked down at the person in his arms, and felt that her every frown and smile was so touching that he couldn't help but want to rub her into his bones and blood and love her well.
"You are just too sensible."
Yinzhen sighed softly, his tone full of doting. He held An Lingrong's face in his hands, looked at her tenderly, and said softly: "If you miss me, send someone to the Yangxin Palace to let me know. No matter how busy I am, I will come to see you."
Hearing this, An Lingrong curled up her lips into a sweet smile, and her eyes sparkled with happiness.
"Are you serious, Your Majesty?" She raised her head and looked at Yinzhen with burning eyes, as if she wanted to see through him.
"When have I ever lied to you?" Yinzhen smiled and scratched her nose, his tone containing a hint of helplessness and doting.
"Then I will remember this. Your Majesty, please don't regret it." An Lingrong smiled slyly, like a cat that had stolen some fish, feeling smug.
Yinzhen was even happier when he saw her like this. He couldn't help but lower his head and kissed her lips, whispering, "Okay, I promise you, I will never regret it."
The two of them hugged each other and smiled. The candlelight in the hall made their figures look particularly slender, and they intertwined together like a painting, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
It was a passionate night, needless to say.
The next morning, when Yinzhen woke up, An Lingrong was still sleeping. He looked at her peaceful sleeping face, and his heart was filled with tenderness.
He stood up gently, tucked the quilt for her, and then asked someone to help him change his clothes.
Yinzhen's movements were gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping person in his arms. He called Su Peisheng and whispered, "Go to the Queen's palace and tell her that Concubine Zhen has worked hard in serving her, so she doesn't need to pay respects today."
Su Peisheng bowed and replied, "Yes."
He saw the emperor's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, and he understood a little. The emperor really doted on this concubine Zhen.
After Su Peisheng left, Yinzhen looked at An Lingrong quietly for a while before getting up to change his clothes. He still had a lot of government affairs to deal with today and couldn't stay in Yongshou Palace for long.
Empress Yixiu got up early in the morning and dressed up, waiting for the concubines to come and pay their respects. However, after waiting for a long time, Concubine Zhen did not show up.
"Why hasn't Sister Zhenpin come today yet?" Yixiu asked casually.
The maid beside her replied, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Su just came to pass on a message saying that Concubine Zhen has been tired from serving you in bed, and the Emperor has granted her special permission that she does not need to come to pay her respects today."
Yixiu paused for a moment as the teacup in her hand gave way to a sinister look, but she quickly returned to normal.
She smiled faintly and said, "It is only natural for the Emperor to be considerate of Sister Zhenpin."
However, she was already in a state of panic. Who in the harem didn't know the emperor's love for Concubine Zhen? But now, this love had become so blatant that she was even exempted from the daily greetings!
Concubine Hua on the side could no longer hold back and slammed the teacup in her hand heavily on the table. With a crisp "bang" sound, the tea splashed out and wet her sleeves.
"Oh, this is strange. This isn't the first time that Concubine Zhen has slept with me. How could she ignore the rules and even skip the greeting?"
Concubine Hua glanced at Yixiu, her tone full of disdain and ridicule, "Empress, tell me, is there still any law in the harem?"
Yixiu looked at Concubine Hua calmly, sneering in her heart. This Concubine Hua was really impatient, and was angered by An Lingrong in just a few words.
"Sister, be careful with your words." Yixiu said in a calm tone, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry. "Sister Zhenpin is in great favor now, and the emperor is sympathetic to her. Besides, Su Peisheng has already delivered the message. If you say this, aren't you questioning the emperor's decision?"
Hua Fei snorted coldly. Although she was arrogant and domineering, she did not dare to challenge the emperor's authority. At least, not openly.
However, when she thought of An Lingrong's seductive appearance, Concubine Hua was furious. She gritted her teeth in hatred, wishing she could tear An Lingrong to pieces.
……
On the other side, when An Lingrong woke up, Yinzhen had already left. She stretched lazily, feeling relaxed all over, as if all her fatigue had disappeared overnight.
"Your Majesty, are you awake?" The palace maid beside her saw her wake up and hurried forward to serve her.
An Lingrong sat up and asked, "What time is it?"
"Your Majesty, it is already 9 o'clock." The palace maid replied.
An Lingrong was slightly startled. She usually got up early, but today she slept until this time! She quickly got up and changed her clothes, but she couldn't help feeling a little sweet in her heart.
"Your Highness, you don't have to go to the Queen's palace to pay your respects today."
As the maid was dressing her, she said, "The emperor specifically told Eunuch Su that you have worked hard to serve him, so you don't have to go today."
An Lingrong couldn't help but smile complacently when she heard this.
"Does the emperor have anything else to say?" An Lingrong asked, with a hint of anticipation in her tone.
The maid thought for a moment and replied, "The Emperor also said that when he is done with the things at hand, he will take you to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers."
"Appreciating flowers?" An Lingrong was delighted, but then she became a little worried: "But now is a time of great trouble. Does the emperor really have time?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Since the Emperor has said so, he will definitely do it." The maid said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you are the apple of His Majesty's eye. The Emperor cannot love you enough!"
An Lingrong glared at the maid and pretended to be unhappy, "You are the only one who talks too much!"
After that, she stood up and walked to the dressing table, looking at her face carefully in the bronze mirror. The person in the mirror had skin as white as cream, eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as paintings, a pair of watery almond eyes that looked around and bright, and a touch of pink on the lips, which made her look even more charming and attractive.
"How do you think I look today?" An Lingrong asked, looking around in the mirror.
"Your Highness is so beautiful in your outfit today!"
The palace maids all exclaimed, "This pale pink palace dress sets off the queen's skin, which is whiter than snow. Add to that the exquisite makeup, and she looks like a fairy from heaven!"
