Chapter 222 Chrysanthemum
Stepping into September is like entering a world of vibrant chrysanthemums. A variety of chrysanthemums bloom in dazzling splendor, creating a dreamlike atmosphere for the entire season.
The people in the flower room knew that this was Concubine Hui's favorite flower, so they carefully selected high-quality chrysanthemums every day and sent them to Xianyue Pavilion.
An Lingrong was startled when she entered Xianyue Pavilion. The chrysanthemums were in a myriad of shapes and forms, a breathtaking sight. Some petals were as delicate as silk, delicate and graceful; others were curled, playful and adorable, jostling and shoving each other in a lively atmosphere; others were unfurled, majestic and dignified, calmly and composedly surveying their surroundings, exuding a noble aura.
These chrysanthemums sway gently in the autumn wind, their figures graceful and charming. As the breeze blows, they emit bursts of refreshing fragrance that is intoxicating.
With their incomparable beauty and indomitable vitality, they have painted a colorful picture for this originally bleak autumn, becoming the most beautiful gift that nature has given to the world.
"Sister, you're exaggerating!" An Lingrong pointed at the pots of colorful flowers vying for attention in the yard. "There are so many! Where's even room to step? It's like they've moved the entire greenhouse in here!"
Shen Meizhuang gently put down the account book in her hand, shook her head helplessly and said, "It was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I didn't even tell them not to send it anymore, but they said that it was cultivated with great difficulty in the greenhouse. If I don't accept it, all the hard work of the servants will be wasted!"
"That's true!" An Lingrong nodded. "After all, it's their good intention. They've sent quite a bit of light up and down, but it's just not as exaggerated as yours."
Seeing that she was looking at the account book, An Lingrong asked, "Sister, has the Internal Affairs Department finished its inventory?"
Shen Meizhuang nodded, "Almost done."
"What do you think about what I said last time?"
It’s about removing Jiang Zhongmin.
"Zhao Yingjiu has already sent the evidence. I will tell you about this matter when I pay my respects to the Queen tomorrow."
"it is good!"
As the two were talking, Su Ye followed Cai Yue into the hall.
"This servant pays respects to the Madam, and to the young Master."
Seeing Su Ye, An Lingrong's face lit up with a smile. She stood up from the couch, took Su Ye's hand and said, "Su Ye, why are you here? Did you miss me?"
After saying that, he winked mischievously.
Su Ye also smiled and said, "My lady, I missed you. I just went to Concubine Jing's palace and heard Hongdou say that you were here, so I came to pay my respects to you and Concubine Hui!"
An Lingrong nodded slightly, concern in her eyes, and asked, "How is her health?"
"Your Majesty has been using my prescription for more than a month. Your health has improved significantly, and the remaining poison has almost been cleared!" Su Ye said with a hint of relief in his tone.
An Lingrong nodded, unable to conceal the admiration in her eyes. "Oh my god, your medical skills are getting better and better. How could I have someone as good as you by my side?"
Su Ye pursed her lips and chuckled softly: "My lady, can you please be more serious? Besides, this time, it was thanks to Doctor Wei that I was able to treat Concubine Jing's health!"
"Oh~ Doctor Wei!"
An Lingrong turned around and looked at Shen Meiyu, both of them had sly smiles on their faces.
After Su Ye left, An Lingrong slowly sat back down beside Shen Meizhuang. She rested her chin on one hand, the fingers of her other hand rhythmically tapping on the small table, as if the sound contained a thousand thoughts within her.
Shen Meizhuang remained calm and composed, continuing to flip through the account book in her hand slowly and leisurely, her expression focused and indifferent.
After a moment, she noticed something strange about An Lingrong, but she didn't look up. She continued to look at the account book and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"
An Lingrong opened her mouth slightly, but was at a loss for words, not knowing how to start.
Seeing her hesitant expression, Shen Meizhuang put down the account book, raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything you can't tell me?"
An Lingrong hesitated for a moment, then finally mustered the courage to speak: "Sister, do you... do you want Concubine Jing to have a child? If she gives birth to a prince, then Sixth Prince..."
Shen Meizhuang instantly understood what she meant. A hint of helplessness flashed across her face. She reached out and gently tapped An Lingrong's head, saying, "What are you thinking about! There are so many concubines in the palace, and there will be more and more children. What does this have to do with me? As for Sixth Prince, I will teach him carefully. As for how far he can go in the future, it depends on his own luck and the emperor's heart. It has nothing to do with others!"
After saying this, Shen Meizhuang looked up and saw An Lingrong staring at her with a burning gaze. She was slightly startled and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
An Lingrong's eyes were full of admiration. She took her hand and said, "Sister, you have righteousness in your heart!"
Shen Meizhuang raised the corner of her mouth slightly and scolded: "Slippery tongue!"
The two talked for a while, and then the wet nurse came in carrying the Sixth Prince.
"Oh, Liudan, I haven't held you for several days. Come, get into the bowl!" An Lingrong stretched out her hands and took the Sixth Prince from the wet nurse.
The wet nurse had heard the special nickname "Liu Dan" many times, but every time she heard it, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, revealing a smile that was hard to hide. After all, such an intimate and unique nickname was really interesting.
The Sixth Prince was already five months old and looked incredibly adorable. His face was round and plump, like a ripe red apple, and his skin was delicate and tender, almost as soft as a baby's. His large, bright eyes, gleaming like black gemstones, gazed curiously at the person before him. His nose was slightly upturned, delicate and small. His mouth was always slightly open, occasionally revealing his tender little pink tongue. His body was round, his chubby limbs waving constantly. He wore a delicately embroidered, brightly colored outfit, and he looked like a truly adorable little ball.
An Lingrong pinched his armpits and weighed him a few times and said, "Sister, has he gained weight again?"
Shen Meizhuang nodded, "Now I can hardly hold him anymore!"
"You better grow up quickly. When you can eat, I'll make lots of delicious food for you and make you fatter than you are now, haha!"
Liudan looked at the person in front of him and grinned heartily with his toothless mouth.
"You are so cute!" An Lingrong took his chubby little hand and kissed it gently.
Shen Meizhuang watched their interaction, her eyes and eyebrows smiling, and corrected her, saying, "It's not aunt, it's godmother."
An Lingrong was stunned at first, but then she reacted and shouted excitedly, "Oh my god, I've been promoted to godmother. Son, from now on, your aunt... no, your godmother will love you very much. You must provide for your godmother in her old age!"
