Chapter 338 An Lingrong 9
"Your Majesty's thoughtfulness is deeply appreciated," An Lingrong said, looking at him with affection.
Feeling a surge of passion under her gaze, Yinzhen stood up, picked her up, and carried her inside, saying, "Then thank me properly later."
“Your Majesty, it’s still daytime!” An Lingrong glared at him and said.
Yinzhen smiled ambiguously: "No one will spread this, but you'd better keep your voice down, haha."
An Lingrong rolled her eyes inwardly. "That old lecher."
Once on the big bed, the chubby orange girl became immersed in the illusion. She sat beside her, blocking out the noise, and rested by herself.
After seeing the Emperor off later, An Lingrong instructed people to start packing her things the next day.
The next day, when I went to pay my respects to the Empress, she also mentioned our trip to the Yuanmingyuan.
Recently, An Lingrong helped the Empress recover some of her health, and she was able to come and pay her respects occasionally.
A few days later, the main force set off from the palace, with carriages forming a long procession, and proceeded in a grand procession from the Forbidden City to the Old Summer Palace.
An Lingrong was arranged by the Emperor to live in the Bitong Academy, where the original female lead lived, which was relatively close to the Emperor's Jiuzhou Qingyan.
The Empress lived in Peach Blossom Valley, Consort Hua lived in Cool Palace, Shen Meizhuang lived in Leisure Moon Pavilion, Zhen Huan lived in Upper and Lower Heavenly Light, and the others lived in Tantandangdang, Louyue Yunkai, Xinghua Chunguan, etc.
Upon arriving at Bitong Academy, the palace servants busied themselves, and soon An Lingrong's luggage was unpacked, allowing her to rest immediately.
It was indeed more comfortable to live in the Yuanmingyuan than in the palace. The space here was larger and not as oppressive as in the palace.
Yuqing brought over a bowl of ice: "Your Majesty, the ice bowl is cold, so please use it sparingly."
"I understand." An Lingrong took it, knowing that Yuqing was concerned about her, and didn't say anything.
It's impossible to not eat ice cream in the summer, otherwise there would be no fun.
Even when the Emperor came to the Yuanmingyuan, he was very busy. He would only visit his concubines for about ten days a month, five or six days with An Lingrong, and the rest of the time he would spend with the others.
However, the scenery at Yuanmingyuan is beautiful, and everyone can find their own enjoyment there.
The original owner's father was robbed while escorting grain with the magistrate of Anyang County in the original storyline. This time, because An Lingrong controlled An Bihuai, they were prepared in advance and thus avoided the incident.
An Lingrong took Yunshang outside for a stroll and enjoyed the scenery. The environment here was nice, and it was worth taking a walk.
"Host, Consort Hua and Consort Cao are still planning to stage a fake pregnancy for Shen Meizhuang, just like in the original story," Xiao Qi suddenly said.
An Lingrong nodded and said, "I understand. Keep an eye on them, as long as they don't scheme against me."
"Okay, host, but there's one more thing." Xiao Qi's voice sounded hesitant.
"What is it?" An Lingrong asked, puzzled.
Xiao Qi said, "It's that Ji Chao. Ever since he saw you last time, he went back and investigated the affairs of the harem. He thinks that the host's situation is probably similar to his."
"Oh? Then he must be trying to test me, right?" An Lingrong's eyes flashed with interest.
"Yes, host. He has already found out that you live here. He just left Kyushu Qingyan and came here on his way."
The ministers did not come to the Yuanmingyuan, but they took turns coming here every eight days to discuss matters with the emperor.
Today was Ji Chao's turn. He had already found out where Consort Yu lived and was thinking of trying his luck.
Considering she's already a Consort Yu, her promotion was quite rapid.
"He's got some nerve, keep an eye on the surroundings!" An Lingrong said casually.
"Good host."
An Lingrong had just sat down to rest by a rockery when she saw people coming from not far away.
She used her mental power to notice that no one was nearby, and Ji Chao also saw Yu Pin watching him from the side.
He paused slightly, but still walked over.
"Greetings, Consort Yu. You seem unsurprised to see me?"
"Didn't the Marquis specifically inquire about my residence?" An Lingrong didn't beat around the bush.
Ji Chao was somewhat surprised, not expecting that even though he had done it so discreetly, she had still discovered it. He couldn't help but think to himself that he would have to be more careful in the future.
He was indeed careful, but An Lingrong was able to discover it because of Xiao Qi's cheat code.
Seeing his serious expression, she said, "I discovered this by accident, Your Highness, there's no need to be so nervous."
What she meant was, don't be nervous, no one else knows.
Ji Chao understood and immediately said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"What do you want with me?" An Lingrong asked directly. After all, this was not the place to talk, so she decided to get straight to the point.
Upon hearing this, Ji Chao glanced at Yun Shang, and An Lingrong understood: "She is my confidante, so just speak your mind."
So Ji Chao tentatively asked, "Does Your Majesty know about computers?"
After he finished speaking, his gaze remained fixed on An Lingrong's expression.
An Lingrong showed no doubt, only a smile, and answered irrelevantly, "I brought a tablet with me."
Upon hearing this, Ji Chao instantly realized that she was just like him, and his eyes lit up.
This is quite different from the two times I've met him; he always seemed so serious and unsmiling.
An Lingrong used her spiritual power to detect someone passing by. Just as Ji Chao was about to say something, she pulled him behind the artificial hill.
"Don't make a sound!" An Lingrong whispered in Ji Chao's ear.
Ji Chao had just nodded when he faintly smelled a fragrance that he found very pleasant, so he took a gentle sniff.
Then, he realized that it was An Lingrong's scent, and he immediately felt a little uncomfortable, but he quickly recovered.
The two women passing by outside were Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan. They must have been out for a stroll and ended up here.
The three stood behind the artificial hill. After everyone left, Yunshang said, "Your Highness, you can talk. I'll go keep watch."
An Lingrong nodded: "Go!"
Yunshang nodded, walked to an inconspicuous spot, and kept an eye on her surroundings.
Ji Chao and An Lingrong also distanced themselves a little. The situation was special just now, and the two of them were close together. He didn't dare to move, for fear that someone would hear the commotion.
This created some distance, but Ji Chao still wanted to confirm again, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Your Majesty said you brought a tablet, what is it for?"
“Watching dramas and playing games, but I still prefer to play games on my phone,” An Lingrong said.
Now that it was confirmed, Ji Chao felt a sense of kinship with someone just like himself.
He asked, "When did you arrive?"
“Before the talent show,” An Lingrong said, thinking to herself that the only difference between her and his approach was that they had arrived in a slightly different way.
Seeing that Ji Chao still wanted to ask, An Lingrong thought that she had been there for a while, so she took out a cell phone from her sleeve and handed it to him.
Her eyes held an ambiguous look as she said, "Let's contact each other by phone. We can't stay here too long."
"Host, there's something wrong with your eyes!" Xiao Qi, who was keeping a close eye on the two of them, said.
An Lingrong remained calm: "What's wrong?"
"I can't quite put my finger on it, but something just doesn't feel right."
“There’s nothing wrong with it. I’m just bored in the palace, so I’m chatting with someone online,” An Lingrong said.
"Hmm, host, you don't need to say anything, I understand." Xiao Qi said with a knowing look.
