Chapter 194 The Emperor has arrived, Ling Rong is ready
After all, according to her observation, these people were, in a sense, specially prepared by the emperor for Concubine Hua.
Although she had only met Concubine Duan once, she keenly noticed at that banquet that Concubine Hua seemed to dislike Concubine Duan. She thought there must be some contradiction that she was unaware of.
Although Jingpin seemed to be a non-aggressor, the emperor would give part of the palace power to Jingpin, who was still only a concubine, when distributing the power. This was enough to explain the problem.
You should know that another share was given to Sister Xuanfei, but at that time Sister Xuanfei was in confinement after giving birth, so there was no way to share the power.
The same goes for Sister Mei. Not long after she entered the palace, she was allowed by the Emperor to learn how to be a housekeeper. This is enough to explain the problem.
"Rong'er seems to be in a good mood. What are you embroidering?"
A voice interrupted her thoughts. She looked up and saw that the emperor had stood in front of her without her noticing.
She was subconsciously a little flustered, but she quickly forced herself to calm down.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty, may His Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."
She put her things down, stood up and saluted the emperor, without showing any panic in her every move.
But the emperor is not an ordinary person. There are many things that he is just too lazy to check, but there is nothing he cannot find out.
So even though An Lingrong behaved very appropriately, the emperor, who had been observing her, still saw a flash of panic in her eyes.
This made him a little interested in An Lingrong. Lady An had become much calmer now.
People who used to be shy and embarrassed when they saw him were now very calm and composed.
"Get up."
The emperor sat on the main seat and then waved to An Lingrong who was kneeling on the ground.
"Are you embroidering a bellyband?"
"Embroidered for Xiaoliu."
The emperor glanced at the size of the bellyband and spoke with great certainty.
"I embroidered this bellyband for the Sixth Prince. Sister Xuanfei treats me like a real sister. I have no special skills except this one, which I learned from my mother, so I can only use this to express my gratitude."
An Lingrong looked at the emperor with a faint smile and began to explain.
"The stitches are so fine, it's just that a child wouldn't use such fine stitches."
The emperor looked at the exquisitely embroidered and lifelike patterns on the bellyband, frowned slightly and spoke.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is your child. He is a precious person and should use such good things."
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of mentioning her father, An Lingrong would not take the initiative to bring up the matter and answered along with the emperor's words.
"That's true."
The emperor nodded slightly and put the things back.
"Your Majesty, this is your favorite Longjing tea before the rain."
An Lingrong reached out to take the tea leaves handed to her by Chuntao and respectfully placed it next to the emperor.
The emperor picked up the teacup, took a sip, and spoke slowly.
"You can keep your composure."
"I have been here for so long, don't you want to know how your father will deal with it?"
The emperor put down the teacup in his hand as he spoke. The tea now tasted much better than before.
It seems that Concubine An took his words to heart, and the Emperor felt more satisfied with An Lingrong.
No one would dislike the feeling of others making changes because of your words, which is the so-called sense of cultivation, and the emperor is no exception.
Although An Lingrong's appearance was not as good as other concubines, she was the most obedient and well-behaved. She was also smart and understood things quickly.
The mistakes I made last time I will never make again next time.
"Your Majesty, as a child, it would be a lie to say that I don't care about my father's safety at all."
After pretending to think for a while, An Lingrong said what she had prepared during this period of time.
My sister had mentioned this question the day before. In the past few days, she had also thought carefully about what questions the emperor would ask her and how she should answer to please the emperor the most.
She had basically thought about all the questions she could imagine the emperor would ask, and this question was within the scope of her preparation.
This question may seem simple, but it actually contains many traps. If you just try to please the emperor by saying some polite words, the emperor will think that you are insincere and that you are indifferent to the fact that your father has committed a crime.
But if you care too much about your father, the emperor will think that you are now a concubine in the palace, but you are still only thinking about your father. This is not good either.
So it is not easy to strike a balance here.
Fortunately, she simply wrote down all the answers she could think of, compared and modified them bit by bit, and finally found the most appropriate answer.
"But now that I have entered the palace, I am the emperor's person, so I naturally have to consider everything for the royal family. The emperor has been troubled by these things for several days. How can I use my father's affairs to trouble the emperor?"
"What's more, I believe that Your Majesty is a wise ruler. If my father has not made any mistakes, Your Majesty will naturally see through everything. But if he has made any mistakes, then it is reasonable for Your Majesty to punish my father."
"It's just, Your Majesty."
As An Lingrong spoke, she knelt before the emperor, her eyes full of pleading.
"I don't ask the emperor to show favoritism because of me, but I only have this father. My mother is in poor health. If something really happens to my father, the rest of my family will have no chance of survival."
"So I just want to ask the emperor to let my father go."
The emperor looked at An Lingrong, whose eyes were filled with tears but who was stubbornly unwilling to let them fall, and he could not help but sigh.
"Get up, Su Peisheng, why don't you help you, Little Master An, up?"
The emperor gave instructions to Su Peisheng who was standing beside him.
"My lord, get up."
Upon hearing this, Su Peisheng hurried forward and carefully helped An Lingrong up from the ground.
An Lingrong naturally wouldn't do anything like "Your Majesty doesn't agree, so I won't do it."
This kind of thing is clearly a threat to the emperor. Not only will it fail to achieve its goal, it will also have a counterproductive effect.
An Lingrong didn't say much. She just stared at the emperor with tearful eyes and begged earnestly.
The emperor thought that An Lingrong had served him wholeheartedly in the past and rarely caused him trouble. An Bihuai had indeed not done anything, so he might as well let him go.
Although there are some minor troubles, they are not unsolvable.
"Today, I have ordered Jiang Wenqing to be executed immediately."
The emperor looked at An Lingrong and spoke calmly.
"However, considering that your father has not committed any serious mistakes, I can spare his life for your sake, but I cannot let his dereliction of duty go."
