The First Empress - Chapter 111
Chapter 111 Bright Heart Treasure Mirror
Li Sheng sent the Purple Flower Scenery Diagram to Concubine De’s palace and returned after a long time.
It was already dark. Li Sheng walked in and Linglong asked, “What did Concubine De say?”
Li Sheng helplessly sighed, “Coin is willing to repeat his words. He didn’t say anything, but it can be seen that Concubine De is a little lonely.” Linglong nodded. Concubine De was naturally lonely. In such an Asura Ground, she naturally needed vines.
Linglong naturally knew what Concubine De meant, but Linglong had always known that her choice was greater than her hard work. She had already missed out on it and could not be wrong again.
Linglong gritted her teeth and said, “Let her go. As long as it doesn’t break.”
Sheng nodded and rested with Qin’er to serve Linglong one after another.
On the second day, Linglong took the initiative to pay her respects to Kun De Palace. It could be said that Linglong and Ji Zhuhua had a mutual understanding. Ji Zhuhua already knew that Linglong was coming, and Pei Lan led Linglong into the inner hall.
“I got the Southern Pearl again yesterday. Not bad.” Ji Zhu Hua sincerely praised Linglong. Although the women in the palace had their own strengths and weaknesses, there were very few people that the Sovereign King would laugh at. Especially yesterday’s dance, it was a perfect match.
“Your Highness praises me absurdly. It’s just a string of beads. This concubine knows that Your Highness likes South Beads, so she sent a string to Your Highness today.” Linglong raised the box in her hand above her head and handed it to Ji Zhuhua. Ji Zhuhua waved his hand repeatedly and pointed at the box with his fair finger like an onion root, saying, “This is a gift from the Emperor. This palace does not dare to plunder your beauty.”
“Your Highness is too serious. If it weren’t for Your Highness’ guidance, I wouldn’t know where I would have done it.” Linglong said earnestly, “Your Highness just needs to accept it. The left is just an external item, no matter how valuable it is, it is just an external item.”
Only then did Ji Zhuhua put it away. He looked at Linglong and felt that she was getting taller and more beautiful. Those bright eyes were still as clear as water, but yesterday, there was a slight ripple, and today, that ripple had already turned into tiny ripples.
“Then, this palace is better off respectfully obeying orders.” As Ji Zhuhua spoke, he caught the box. Pei Lan, who was beside him, saw Ji Zhuhua as if he had obtained a precious treasure and hurriedly carried the box to the inner hall.
Linglong took the small hammer and gently smashed it on Ji Zhuhua’s knee. “Your Highness, I still need to compensate you. Your Highness is Hai Han Bar. Sometimes, I do things not because I’m careless, but because I can’t violate the Emperor’s orders. Your Highness is a smart person. Your Highness will understand without further deliberation.” As Linglong spoke, she suddenly lowered her eyes. Her eyes contained a stream of clear water, and all of them fell down from her cheeks.
Ji Zhuhua had never seen Linglong in front of her like this. He took out a handkerchief and wiped Linglong’s cheeks. “Why are you crying? This palace has never been separated from you. You should know that even if others only cover the sky with their hands in the harem, this palace is only the master of these six palaces.” At this point, he smiled faintly and said, “If I want you to be my pet, no one can pull you off the horse.”
Linglong was accustomed to observing people’s expressions, and of course, she was even more adept at acting. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but be overjoyed. “It’s good that the Empress didn’t blame me. I was really wronged yesterday.”
When it comes to grievances, who didn’t suffer all the grievances yesterday?
Seeing Linglong stop crying, Ji Zhuhua asked, “I heard you’ve been in the study recently?”
Although Linglong did not understand why the Empress asked this question, she was secretly worried. The Empress would not ask for no reason at all. This matter had already spread far and wide, and there was no room for concealment at all. Thus, she said, “It’s not a matter of hearing, it’s a matter of fact.” The emperor only asked his concubines to help him sort out memorials and memorials. His concubines grew up under the Imperial Academy’s father’s teachings. Although they could not be said to be well-educated and well-known, they could still help the emperor sort them out. ”
When Ji Zhuhua heard this, he was slightly relieved. In the Dali Dynasty, no one knew which harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. Ji Zhuhua said, “This palace kindly reminds you that you must not think this palace is too talkative!”
Linglong was so obedient, did the Empress still need to say such words?
“Naturally, Linglong knows that concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics. She has long since experienced these things. Her concubines are also women. They are immoral and incompetent. They only know how to add fragrance to red sleeves.” Linglong’s words were very straightforward. Ji Zhuhua observed Linglong’s expression and said after a while, “It’s good that Hongxiu adds fragrance. It’s good to be smart, but don’t play tricks on it. Otherwise, in the end, being smart will be mistaken for being smart.”
Linglong’s heart beat slightly. What did the Empress mean? She was clearly reminding herself. However, after saying this, Ji Zhuhua changed the topic. “This palace knows that you are also a capable person beside the Emperor. However, don’t indulge in arrogance. Otherwise, you will know the lesson from the past. Right now, I am only scolding you for a few words of advice that are unpleasant to the ears, but you understand that advice is defiant to the ears and beneficial to the deeds.”
No matter what, the Empress was right. No matter how dull Linglong was, she could still hear the meaning behind her words. Ying Ying bowed down and said, “Thank you, Empress.”
Ji Zhuhua nodded and said, Linglong nodded her head repeatedly, “Thank you for what? The family doesn’t say anything. This palace has always treated you as my younger sister. This palace shares weal and woe with you, and we can’t do anything in the future …” “Your Highness really misunderstood me. I didn’t form a gang. As for Concubine De, Your Highness, I can only say a few things. Your Highness is a smart person. Could it be that I can’t think of anything else?”
Ji Zhuhua had already thought that Hui Qi was the one who was interfering, but he wasn’t sure about it.
Ji Zhuhua held Linglong’s hand and said, “Don’t do anything that these servants do. Let’s help each other in the future. Just tell us what you need. This harem is right, don’t make a mistake.” Linglong naturally knew that if the Empress wanted to get rid of her, it would be as easy as the back of her hand. The current Ji Zhuhua had two masks, one virtuous and virtuous, the other ruthless and ruthless.
The others probably only saw Ji Zhuhua’s virtuous virtue, but Linglong had seen another evil mask over time, so she knew that Concubine De could not allow herself to rise to the top. When the time came, she still had to choose Ji Zhuhua.
“I know what you’re thinking, but I just want to fix the rift between you and Concubine De. I’m also a reasonable person, so there’s nothing wrong with visiting Concubine De when I have time. Understood?” When did Ji Zhuhua become so reasonable? Linglong kowtowed repeatedly, “Your Majesty is indeed noble and magnificent. Ordinary people can’t do it anymore. Linglong will definitely remember what Your Majesty taught her.”
“Is there anything else you don’t understand about this Palace Dialect?” Ji Zhuhua suddenly asked. Naturally, Linglong understood everything. Furthermore, she completely understood the current situation. Even if Huiqi wanted to shake Ji Zhuhua’s foundation, it would still be difficult, let alone the mobs in the harem.
“This concubine has already understood. This concubine naturally works with the Empress wholeheartedly.” Linglong still didn’t understand what the Empress wanted from her, but Linglong vaguely felt that she was a chess piece, and a chess piece that had to take a step out.
Ji Zhuhua smiled faintly, “This palace is looking after you.”
Linglong nodded her head repeatedly. “I understand. I thank the Empress.”
“There’s no need to thank me. It’s just …”
It’s just a matter of getting what you need, isn’t it?
But what exactly did the Empress want?
When Linglong saw that the gap between her and the Empress was gone, she couldn’t help but feel a lot happier. The Empress had already finished what she should have said. She tilted her head and asked Linglong, “Has it been a long time since I’ve waited on her?” The Empress was paying attention to these things. Even Linglong didn’t pay much attention to them, so she couldn’t help but frown. “It’s still the end of last month …” she said hesitantly.
“Don’t always pay attention to politics. Learn more from Lan Zhaoyuan. Even though the Lan Clan has a thousand mistakes, this is something that people can’t help but admire.” There is a personal view of the pet-fixing individual.
Linglong had a big doubt in her heart. She originally wanted to ask, but it was hard to ask when it came to her mouth.
Ever since the musk bottle was dug out from under the laurel tree, Linglong had already known that the imperial power in the harem decided who could not conceive and could not have children.
In that case, wouldn’t she also be in danger?
Ji Zhuhua reminded Linglong of something and waved his hand. “Come here often in the future. It’s hard for me to pass the time without someone to chat with.” Linglong judged her appearance and smiled at Yan Yan as she nodded. The two of them had a very happy conversation.
At the very least, the two of them seemed to get along very well on the surface.
Linglong and all the concubines in the harem were good neighbors. Apart from Lan Sou Yu, she was very good at disguising herself, just like a chameleon.
Just as Linglong walked out of Kun De Palace, her expression changed. Just now, she was trying her best to play the flattering face of her boss, and she couldn’t help but feel the muscles at the corners of her mouth hurt.
The parrot on the branch flapped its wings. Linglong bluffed and stood still to see that it was the parrot flapping its feathers. She couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
It seemed like he couldn’t be too focused on two things. He had to think while walking. At this time, he was outside Kun De Palace. It was too much of a hospital to go ahead. Linglong crossed another bridge and was ready to go back.
Just as he raised his foot, he was hit by a person.
“This lowly official deserves to die! Is Your Highness alright?” When Linglong saw that it was Pei Minghai who hit her, she smiled gently and patted her sleeve. “It’s fine, you can go.”
Pei Minghai was trembling with fear as he blushed, “Is Your Highness really alright?”
“I’m really fine.” As Linglong was about to leave, Imperial Physician Pei lowered his eyebrows and followed his purpose. “It’s all my fault that I didn’t have eyes. I ran into the Empress. I deserve to die.”
Linglong smiled, looking unconcerned.
Just as he was about to walk out, he suddenly looked at Pei Minghai’s medicine chest and asked, “In such a panic, which palace is Imperial Physician Pei going to serve Empress Lord?”
Pei Minghai leaned closer to Linglong and sighed, “Changle Palace …”
