The First Empress - Chapter 115
Chapter 115 How Could It Not Be Pitiful
Linglong was timid, “This concubine, this concubine is reckless.”
Hui Qi looked at Linglong with a pleasant expression. “I remember that last year, in the Upper Forest Garden, you were also holding onto flowers in the autumn. You were not like this when you dyed your sleeves.” Linglong could also recall the good times when she was with Hui Qi, but her memory was a shaky thing. The person in front of her seemed to never understand it clearly enough.
His depth and wit, his mysteries and secrets were all a treasure trove, and no one knew how many of them there were.
Linglong originally thought it was Mu Qianzhi’s, but she didn’t expect it to be Huiqi.
Huiqi had already recognized Yu Pingxiao’s voice, “What? Are you afraid?”
Huiqi asked.
Linglong was slightly stunned and returned to her usual expression. She nodded and said, “This concubine did not come with the intention. However, she could not help but listen to the Emperor’s zither music. Does the Emperor blame this concubine for her carelessness?” Linglong asked as she leaned her head against Huiqi’s broad chest. She could hear Huiqi’s heartbeat, steady and peaceful.
Hui Qi held Linglong’s hand and said, “How can I blame you? I said that only you are like a green lotus, untainted by mud. You are probably the only woman in the harem who has a ravine in her chest and controls it the best. Unlike those women whose scales fight against the dragon descendants to advance, you are truly hateful.” The corner of Hui Qi’s eyes twitched slightly. Linglong knew that Hui Qi was angry, so she quickly changed the topic. She looked at Xing Zi, who was everywhere in the sky, and said, “It’s already late autumn. In Zi Hua City, it seems like Qiu came very early.”
“That’s right. Look, Altair and Vega are going to be reunited today. I didn’t expect that you and I would be able to be together by fate.” Hui Qi said, looking at Hui Qi with a gentle gaze as if she was drinking wine.
“As soon as we meet on July 7, my heart will never change.” Linglong thought hard and held Huiqi’s hand. Huiqi’s hand was really cold. She didn’t know if it was the water vapor in the night or it was originally so cold. Linglong felt as if he was the real jade bone ice muscle. He leaned against Huiqi but his heart was churning violently.
Hui Qi was a little apologetic. “I also know that I have suffered for you during this period of time, but I have no choice but to force you. You must bear with it. It will be good after a while.”
Linglong nodded. “This concubine has always known the legend of having a taste of courage. Why did the Emperor say this? It was all for the sake of the country. I and this concubine are clearly distinguished.”
“I know that although you said that, I still feel that I am a heartless and unloyal person, but I am the Emperor! Ordinary mortals have three wives and four concubines, so I am naturally more concubines. You should understand that I can’t take good care of you for a while.” As Huiqi spoke, Linglong felt much warmer and said, “I naturally understand. Why don’t the Emperor play ‘Slow Sound’ and let me learn to walk in the back?”
Huiqi hugged Linglong and stretched out his hand from her side. He slowly placed his hand on the string and said, “Listen, I’m starting.”
Linglong slightly closed her eyes and said, “Your Majesty, do as you please.”
Hui Qi’s fingers trembled, and the zither music was like the wings of a butterfly, boiling with excitement.
Linglong felt her entire body was very comfortable. Hui Qi’s zither skills were truly superior. The zither music was like a jade pearl falling from a large pearl. There was excitement in her generosity.
Huiqi smiled and said, “You play.”
Linglong hurriedly held Yu Pingxiao in her palm. Xiao Yin slightly lifted her lips and curled her lips. She had already flown past nine days, almost shaking the bamboo leaves and dancing in the wind. Linglong smiled as she looked at Huiqi. At this moment, Linglong felt that she was at least happy. Although there were many women in the palace, there was absolutely no one who shared the same feelings and feelings as the Emperor.
Linglong smiled and said, “Does the Emperor think that this concubine is playing well?”
Hui Qi played aggressively, pointing out, “In the end, it’s better to have a higher pitch than to have a heavier daughter.” Linglong tried her best to raise her pitch a lot. Hui Qi nodded, “Good, Linglong, good.”
At the end, Linglong paused. Huiqi’s zither music slowly faded away. When the last soft sound disappeared into the tranquil air, the birds above his head began to chirp. Huiqi smiled and hugged Linglong. “Look at the sky. Even birds are singing and dancing. The ancient clouds blew their flute to attract the phoenix. You haven’t attracted the phoenix before. The birds are also impressed by you.”
Linglong looked at the treetops above her head. The birds on the treetops were tightly nested together. “This is the Biewingbird. Is the Emperor missing? Legend has it that the Biewingbirds must be together. They won’t separate even if they die. If one of them dies, the other will also die along with this one. This kind of unwavering love is very yearning.”
Hui Qi smiled faintly, “Linglong, we also want to be together, forever together.”
Linglong hurriedly woke up. Fortunately, she didn’t anger Hui Qi just now and apologized repeatedly, “This concubine only said it as soon as she thought of it. She didn’t have any other intentions. Your Majesty, forgive me.”
Huiqi was immersed in this kind of wind, clear moon, white, She didn’t even notice what Linglong was saying. Therefore, she did not have any intention of blaming him. Linglong suddenly raised her head and discovered that the Milky Way had become faint. Altar and Vega had already gathered together. Linglong had never thought about it before. She had originally thought that the legend was just a legend, but she saw it today. She couldn’t help but be a little stunned. She pointed at the sky and said, “Your Majesty, look-”
Huiqi looked at the sky. The cowherd and the weaver girl gathered together. He nodded and said, “We’re together.”
Linglong nodded heavily, “Together.”
Huiqi helped Linglong wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes. “What are you crying for? Everything is happy. They are together, and I am with you. Could it be that you are unhappy?” Linglong hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. “This concubine is happy, happy.”
Hui Qi grabbed onto Linglong’s soft catkin and looked ahead, his eyes losing focus. “It’s good to be together. Let’s go back.”
Linglong looked at the stars in the sky, nodded her head, and then stood up. She was about to take a step forward, but she didn’t expect Yi Qing’s entire body to be carried up. Linglong was shocked. She originally thought that Huiqi was just casually hugging her, but she didn’t expect Huiqi to hug her and walk outside the Upper Forest Garden.
‘”Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please let me down. Your Majesty and your concubines have ruined the path of the monarchy, Your Majesty …” Linglong was shocked.
Linglong pleaded. Hui Qi remained calm and allowed Linglong to hug her. Hui Qi smiled and said, “What is the Dao of Monarchs and Officials? We are husband and wife among the people. I am your husband and you are my wife. Why not? Besides, this is Zi Hua City, and I am the Heavenly Strike is the King’s Law.”
Linglong shyly closed her eyes, not daring to open them. Watching Hui Qi walk towards the Cloud Phoenix Palace, Linglong slightly opened her eyes. It was already night, and Caixia was no longer there.
Qin’er saw the Emperor carrying Linglong to Yunluan Palace and kowtowing repeatedly. Huiqi carried Linglong Da horizontally into the inner hall of Yunluan Palace. Linglong opened her eyes and found herself on the cloud couch. Huiqi slowly unbuttoned Linglong’s collar. Linglong resisted slightly. Huiqi smiled and said, “What is this old woman afraid of?”
Linglong shyly closed her eyes …
Before Huiqi could wake up, Linglong had already prepared breakfast for Huiqi, personally delivered it to Huiqi, and personally combed the bun on Huiqi’s hair neatly.
Seeing Linglong being so careful, Huiqi smiled and said, “You are very good at serving people, as if you are very familiar with them.” Linglong smiled and said, “This is also the first time that this concubine is here. If only Your Majesty did not despise this concubine.” Huiqi nodded. “I don’t know if I’m a guest in my dreams. I’ve been greedy for a long time.”
Linglong gave Hui Qi a bowl of dishes of all colors, and Hui Qi praised them endlessly. “Indeed, Hui Zhilan Xin’s dishes are unique, even the dishes she cooks casually. I am very pleased with them.”
Linglong gritted the tip of her chopsticks with her teeth and said, “Your Majesty feels that it’s good. I’m afraid that this concubine is clumsy and can’t serve your Majesty well.”
“There is nothing good or bad about it. I like your care. I think you are the first-rate in Zi Hua City.” As Hui Qi spoke, he ate his fill. In a while, the cup and plates were in a mess. After Hui Qi finished eating, he patted his stomach and smiled. “Indeed, it’s not bad. I went to the morning. You should go back and sleep for a while. Don’t be tired if you still have to go to the study at noon.”
Linglong smiled, “I don’t feel tired, as long as the Emperor is happy.”
Hui Qi stretched out his hand and scratched Linglong’s nose, saying, “I will treat you well. I will be with you forever.”
“Linglong greets the Emperor respectfully.” Seeing Huiqi slowly turn around, Linglong quickly knelt down and Huiqi walked out. Linglong’s heart was still empty. She didn’t know if it was a feeling of loss or melancholy. In short, she couldn’t explain it clearly.
Sheng walked over from behind and handed the jade-screen flute to Linglong. “Master, this is a tool that is useless and disadvantageous. Please be careful, Empress. Keeping the jade-screen flute in the future is very useful.”
Linglong nodded her head and smiled, “Is this what the ancients called the” zither and song “?”
Li Sheng nodded. “Your Majesty treats Your Majesty differently from others. You need to experience this yourself. You will slowly understand.”
Linglong secretly smiled. Only she knew what she was thinking.
Linglong thought to herself that it must be because Sending Zi Guan Yin was useful that her luck was exceptionally good. So today, she went to Zi Hua Temple, where Sending Zi Guan Yin was located. This place was in a state of disrepair, and many of the concubines of the harem came to secretly make wishes.
Only Linglong had such a single wish in the Five Flowers Horse Sect.
Lan Sou Yu also came this time and opened a package in her arms. It turned out to be a red line Guan Yin. This Guan Yin was slightly smaller than sending Zi Guan Yin. Ling Long was secretly shocked.
Red-stringed Guanyin was completely different from Songzi Guanyin. It was against the precedent to worship Songzi Guanyin in the imperial palace, let alone worship such a strange red-stringed Guanyin?
