The First Empress - Chapter 13
Chapter 13 Domineering
As the heavy rain fell on the capital, Zihua Palace was shrouded in a slanting wind and gentle rain. The moist raindrops of wind descended miserably into the pond.
Shadow Shop Spring Water, Flower Falling Fishing Head.
The royal family’s beautiful wives and concubines welcomed the dragon carriage and phoenix carriage in the Qianyuan Palace. The hairpin was twelve rows, and the brocade cloak was fifty li long.
Bu Linglong also left early. This was something that had happened since the beginning of the autumn. After the first heavy rain, the Emperor and the Empress would often go to the Divine Advancement Palace to thank the heavens. Then, they would raise their cups together with the concubines to congratulate the folk on their harvest. In fact, it was only an occasion.
The imperial concubines sat down. No one spoke loudly. Lan Zhaoyuan hadn’t come yet. Bu Linglong pulled Chen Chongyi over. “Could it be that she hasn’t come on such an important day?”
Chen Chongyi looked around and didn’t see Lan Zhaoyuan. He couldn’t help but frown, “It’s the big red person beside the emperor. It’s a little upside down. Let’s just look at it with our eyes shining.”
After a while, only the sound of beads and jades colliding could be heard. Everyone hurriedly looked sideways and saw the late Lan Zhaoyuan. Lan Zhaoyuan scanned the concubines left and right and sat in her seat impatiently. The one who had come to greet her was already here to greet her.
Sha Ling sent over a cup of soup to nourish her face. “Your Highness, drink something. No matter where you go, I still have to remember the rules of the day for Your Highness.”
Lan Zhaoyuan took the soup and was about to start drinking it in front of so many people. It was really unsightly, but before she could finish it, a talented person who had just entered the palace had already rushed over.
‘”Aiyo–” Lan Zhaoyuan was shocked. The soup that she had just held in her hand was already dripping onto her skirt.
Today, Lan Zhaoyuan was dressed in a white robe and looked very elegant. However, the soup she had just spilled was dirty. It was as if it had been dyed with light ink on a piece of white paper. It was dirty. Lan Zhaoyuan couldn’t help but glance at him. “Impudent, which palace’s servant is it? Drag it out-Drag it out-” Lan Zhaoyuan said.
Only then did a woman in a long embroidered dress lift her head from the ground. Looking at Lan Zhaoyuan’s furious eyes, she returned to her homeland and shouted, “Who is it? Who is pushing me behind me? The little hooves, the little whore-”
He was still cursing, but Lan Zhaoyuan had already slapped him on the cheek. “Impudent, here you are still full of dirt. You don’t even need to see what you are.”
Because of this slap, this person fell to the ground. She quickly covered her cheek and raised her head with great difficulty. Seeing her beautiful eyes that were not angry and self-threatening, Lan Zhaoyuan said coldly, “You are a newcomer to the palace, right? You actually dashed into this palace and dragged it down for this palace.”
There were a lot of people in the palace. At this time, someone had already delayed this person by two steps. However, a high-flown voice sounded behind him. “Wait, I accidentally knocked down Jiang Cairen just now. Please let Sister Zhaoyuan rest for a while.”
Everyone hurriedly turned around. It turned out to be Shun Fei Wu Wan Lan who was sitting at the top. She said that the eunuch had put down Jiang Cai Ren. Jiang Cai Ren might have been too scared, and her entire body was as soft as a pool of mud.
Lan Zhaoyuan smiled. She reached out and stroked the top of her head as if she was trying to tidy up her face. The charm and arrogance of her bun had already been revealed. “This palace originally thought that it was someone, but it was Imperial Concubine Shun who had been sick for 360 days. Sister, don’t interfere in the affairs of your sister. Besides, all the sisters have seen that it was originally Jiang Cai’s fault.” Lan Zhaoyuan said with a bitter voice, “Big sister is ill, so it’s not appropriate to be angry. Let little sister handle this matter.”
“This palace is helping the Empress to assist the six palaces. Although it is hard, it is also a concubine who cannot tolerate trouble in the palace. Sister Zhaoyuan must have lost her mind and let others off the hook.” Imperial Concubine Shun said as she turned her gaze away.
Lan Zhaoyuan waved her hand and signaled for the eunuch to quickly pull Jiang Cairen away. She could do whatever she wanted to do. She had to suffer the most to make an example of him, so that no one in the He Palace wouldn’t know what she was up to.
Shun Fei was already thirty years old, and Cheng Ri did not like to be angry. She was usually calm, and she was also stimulated by Lan Zhaoyuan today. Seeing that Jiang Cairen was about to be captured, he was angry. He stood up and pointed at Lan Zhaoyuan angrily, “Jiang Cairen is from the Emperor. Do you want to do the same?”
Lan Zhaoyuan reached out and touched the golden orb hanging at the corner of her forehead. “This concubine will tell the Emperor everything, so I won’t trouble Imperial Concubine Shun.”
Imperial concubine Shun’s health had never been very good. A fine sweat had already oozed out of her forehead after she finished speaking. She could only watch helplessly as Jiang Cairen was dragged away.
At this time, the concubines had already begun to secretly discuss, but no one dared to say anything that was too unpleasant to listen to. Chen Chongyi and Bu Linglong walked behind Shun Fei and helped Shun Fei calm down while helping Fu Shun Fei.
Imperial concubine Shun’s health was already not good. At this time, her face looked even paler than gold paper. She waved her hand and said, “Forget it, why are you staying here? Let’s go back to this palace, so as to avoid being exposed to fragmentary auras.”
Seeing Shun Fei go far away, Lan Zhaoyuan smiled and said, “Shun Fei can leave easily!” ‘”Shaling, help me go back and change clothes with me. If the Empress comes back, tell her that she will forgive me.”
Lan Zhaoyuan smiled and walked out of Kun De Palace weakly.
Just as he walked out of Kun De Palace, there were already imperial concubines who couldn’t hold back any longer. “Look at that fox charming master’s appearance. Could it be that she was reincarnated by a fox spirit in her previous life? It could be considered that the emperor was deceived. Otherwise, we would have been able to deal with her by ourselves.”
Another person said, “Let’s not talk about this. Elder sister, why don’t you listen to her for 30 years? Maybe one day, you and I will stand on her head. Today’s arrogance will naturally be returned to her one by one in the future. Learn a bit.”
The first person said, “Forget it, thirty years, when the time comes, you and I will be old and have no capital to compete for favor.”
Both of them sighed.
Seeing Lan Zhaoyuan walk away, Bu Linglong gently patted the sandalwood armrest with her fingers. “What does Sister Chongyi think?”
“The tree has many withered branches. It’s just temporary. Let’s see the Empress’ attitude later.” As he said that, he held Bu Linglong’s hand and said, “Anyway, it’s fine if we don’t provoke this lion. You, too, have already agreed to the Empress. Are you afraid that there won’t be a day for us to make a name for ourselves?”
Bu Linglong knew what Chen Chongyi was going to say, but she wisely stopped speaking.
Bu Linglong stared at the ground with bright eyes. The square brick just now seemed to be spinning like a dizzy pottery. “It’s just that I pitied Jiang Cairen. They’re both harem sisters. Why are we in such a hurry to fry each other?”
Chen Chongyi forced herself to calm down. “That’s not what I said. It didn’t take long for you to enter the palace. After a long time, you will understand. In the end, everyone will be more vicious.”
“Sister, don’t forget to probe the Empress’s words, so that we can know what the Empress means, so that we won’t be mistaken,” he said with a nod.
“Sister, just rest assured.”
Just as Chen Chongyi was saying this, the wreath above her head shook. She turned around and saw the Empress Ji Zhuhua. Before Ji Zhuhua could reach the hall, a group of concubines had already bowed down. “I have seen the Empress.”
Ji Zhu Hua sat on the chair in the middle. The glass bead lightly smashed against her white porcelain-like forehead. “Get up,” he said. “Flatten up.”
Heavenly Heart Level 9. Could it be that Empress Ji Zhuhua also has nine apertures in her heart? Looking around, Lan Sou Yu actually pretended not to see anything. Everyone knew that the Empress’ Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart was not something that ordinary people could guess, so no one dared to say what happened just now.
However, the Empress discovered that Shun Fei was no longer around. Looking at the empty seat, she asked, “Is Imperial Concubine Shun feeling unwell today?”
“Imperial Concubine Shun was here just now. You left before you came. It doesn’t look good.” Chen Chongyi hurriedly lifted her lips and said a few words because she was relatively close to the Empress.
The Empress was still a little relieved. “Yes, Shun Fei’s body is uncomfortable. If she can’t come, she can’t come …” However … “She looked at the other two empty seats.” This … ”
‘”So it’s Jiang Cairen and the newly promoted Pei Lan Lan Sou Yu. Why haven’t they come?” Zhaoyuan reminded the Empress from behind.
The Empress frowned, pondered for a moment, and sneered, “Don’t you think I don’t know? Do you all think that this palace is made of clay and wood?” The empress was usually a mother of the world, and today’s fury surprised all the concubines.
Imperial Concubine De said on behalf of everyone, “Your Highness, don’t be arrogant about Lan Zhaoyuan. Just because a ginseng soup is spilled on your body, you have to send a talented person to the berserk room. Dali has never done such a thing before.”
The Empress let out a cold laugh, “This palace will naturally handle things impartially. Qingzhu, go to Changle Palace and find Lan Zhaoyuan for this palace. This palace will personally ask why.”
“Imperial Concubine De has already told us the truth. Could it be that Empress De still doesn’t believe me? Concubine De also saw the whole story and didn’t dare to hide anything. Please punish Lan Zhaoyuan severely.” The one who spoke was Ning Yanliu, who was brought over from the hidden residence. She was already a concubine. When the Empress heard this, she smiled and said, “Concubine Ning is too anxious. This palace has its own plans.”
Ning Yanliu gritted her teeth and retreated.
