The First Empress - Chapter 168

Chapter 168 Blossom of Interaction Mountain Flowers
That night, Chen Chongyi left worriedly. Linglong secretly remembered this matter, and at that time, she would be able to handle it well.

The fire illuminated the heavens and earth, and the red stars chaotic purple smoke.

The closer we get to the New Year, The more lively the palace was, However, it was already the fourth year that Linglong had entered the palace. This liveliness was already no wonder. It was just a good medicine for self-comfort. She did not advocate such coarse and indiscriminate behavior. Naturally, she would not play with any concubines, because Linglong’s mind was much more mature than others’.

Right now, there were three cold places in the imperial palace. One was the exquisite Yunluan Palace, the other was Lan Sou Yu’s Chang Le Palace, and the third was Consort De’s palace. The reasons for these three people’s coldness were different, so the three of them still didn’t move much.

On this day, snowflakes rose in the evening. Linglong had Qin’er bring her cloak and hand stove. The two of them walked outside. After crossing the Spring Wave Bridge, Linglong frowned and pondered for a long time. “Probably this is the place where he painted.” Qin’er knew that Linglong was thinking about something, so she nodded slightly.

“Your Highness makes it easy for me to find you” A clear voice from behind almost shattered Linglong’s thoughts. Linglong hurriedly turned around and saw Xie Yunxiao.

“Big Brother Yunxiao, why are you here so late at night?” When Linglong saw that there was no one left or right, she naturally used that kind of address.

However, Xie Yunxiao still restrained his joy and comfort after looking around. He said, “Your Highness, you can’t use your childhood address to summon your subordinates, so that there won’t be any ears on the wall.”

Linglong thought for a moment and nodded. “Come to the palace. I don’t know. Next time you come, you must come to me. Let’s go to Yunluan Palace.” As they spoke, the two of them arrived in Yunluan Palace one after the other.

Because everyone was dressed in their best attire by the end of the year, Linglong’s attire was very different from before. She looked festive and hot, and her entire body was red. Xie Yunxiao couldn’t move his eyes away. Linglong didn’t react. If others were to look at her so rudely, she would have been angry, but Xie Yunxiao was different.

“You came to the palace this time because of the Seven Kings. Do you have any instructions?” Linglong asked straightforwardly, a little stiff.

Xie Yunxiao said, “It’s not that the Seven Kings have any orders to come over the wall, but …” Before Linglong could finish listening, she already patted her hands and said, “I knew you wouldn’t go through the main door, but this is also quite good. This is the way you, Xie Yunxiao, are like wild cranes in idle clouds. Your anger surpasses forgetfulness.”

Xie Yunxiao raised his eyes to look at Linglong. The increase was too long, the decrease too short. The pink on his face was too white, and the red on Shi Zhu’s face was too red. Xie Yunxiao maintained a humble smile. It was not very warm, but it was definitely not cold. Xie Yunxiao’s eyebrows were like green feathers. He shook slightly, took out a paper bag from his sleeve, and handed it to Linglong.

Linglong looked at the paper bag and hurriedly opened it. “What is it?”

Xie Yunxiao stared straight at Linglong’s sketchy figure. Her movements were carefree and agile. In a moment, she opened the knot. When she looked carefully, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Then, she looked at Xie Yunxiao happily, “Brother Yunxiao, where did you buy this Phoenix Scroll?”

Xie Yunxiao smiled faintly. “Naturally, he used to visit that store when he was young.”

A timid and shy expression appeared on Linglong’s face. However, she quickly picked up the Phoenix Scroll and gently chewed it between her lips and teeth. Her cheeks couldn’t help but aroma. Linglong praised, “Indeed, it was eaten when I was young. Unfortunately, I couldn’t leave the palace. In fact, the little clay man and sugar man from back then were all very good. The things in the palace were all ingenious, and they were a bit less delicious.”

Xie Yunxiao’s eyebrows were as cold as autumn water. Looking at Linglong, she took out a pot of Spring from her sleeve after a while. Naturally, there was no lack of candy and clay figurines. Linglong just casually said that she really didn’t expect these things that she had been waiting for so long to be readily available. Furthermore, they were already prepared by Xie Yunxiao. She couldn’t help but be speechless, “Big Brother Yunxiao-you-”

Linglong stretched out her hand and played with it carefully. Yu-Ji and Light Wind had already caressed these little treasures, but those words were cut off by Xie Yunxiao. “Your Highness, you must not call me’your servant ‘as a child, so as not to have ears on the wall.” Linglong felt a faint sadness in her heart, but she didn’t emphasize the question of this title. She looked at the clay figurine while eating the phoenix scroll and said, “Did you come to the palace this time to give me these little things?” You’re very thoughtful, It’s just that we’re getting old, At that time … “Linglong frowned, as if she was having a little trouble. After thinking for a while, she smiled slightly. The smile on her lips was as hard to draw as gardenias.” At that time, she was really carefree, “But people have to grow up. The Imperial Palace is full of intrigue. If it weren’t for you sending these little things over, I would have almost forgotten where I am now. I thought I was still in the folk.”

Xie Yunxiao couldn’t help but think of a poem, “The world is heavy with gorgeous colors. Xishi Jiuningwei is the daughter of Yuexi and Mu is the imperial concubine of Wu Palace.” When Linglong heard Xie Yunxiao recite this poem, the boss in her heart was unhappy. She turned around and glanced at the incense burner in front of her. The green smoke in the incense burner was dancing gracefully, as if it was something she couldn’t grasp at the moment.

Suddenly, Linglong Fu Rong smiles, “Forget it, it has been so long. This palace naturally does not want to return to the old days. After all, people go up high and water flows down, right?”

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Xie Yunxiao’s mouth, but it quickly dissipated. “You have to know that the world is always happy. Your Highness, don’t end up with a bamboo basket empty. Why do you have to go to that height? It’s like a bright moon in the sky like a day in the sky. I’m afraid this servant will be unable to reach it.”

Linglong smiled bitterly. She now understood that the gap between her and Xie Yunxiao had become a chasm. No matter how you try to fill it, you can’t. “Yunxiao … No, Lord Xie, I have no other choice now. You can’t understand this palace if I’m not in his position. However, this palace is not just fighting for fame and fortune. I can’t say it clearly.”

Linglong did not spit out her words, and her anger was like an orchid.

Xie Yunxiao suddenly held Linglong’s hand. Linglong was shocked. Her beautiful face was slightly trembling, and the corners of her mouth were tense. “Lord Xie, you?”

Xie Yunxiao said, “Let’s leave this place. Don’t stay in the palace. Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. Actually, everyone is the same. There won’t be any good results in the end. Haven’t you seen it clearly?”

Xie Yunxiao’s hand was like a screen retracting the wind. She immediately grasped Linglong’s small and thin hand in her big, broad and warm hand. Linglong tried her best to hold back the ape in her heart and said coldly, “Thank you, Master, we are different. Thank you, Master, you have crossed the line.”

Xie Yunxiao merely sneered and said, “There is a difference in respect and inferiority. That’s right, Your Highness is an honor, Your Majesty is an inferiority, Your Highness is a difference in respect and inferiority.”

Linglong also knew that she had said too much, but if she didn’t say too much, she couldn’t let Xie Yunxiao stop thinking about it. When it came to leaving the Imperial Palace, Linglong wanted to leave, but when she thought of Hui Qi’s voice and smile, Linglong’s heart suddenly turned cold.

She found herself an excuse again, She thought to herself that it was probably because she was worried about Princess Baoluo, And she was afraid that escaping from the palace would hurt her father, so she didn’t want to leave, Thinking of this, his heart felt much more comfortable, so he moved his lips and said, “Sir Xie, it’s not that I don’t want to leave the Tiger’s Curl Dragon Plate. However, I also have a place that I have no choice but to leave. Think about it, if I really did leave, then wouldn’t the entire Bu Manor be covered in eggs?”

Xie Yunxiao smiled faintly and said, “Sister Bu, if I had a way to make you leave this place without anyone noticing, would you be willing?”

Linglong knew Xie Yunxiao’s methods. There were probably many ways to get her out of the inner courtyard, but Linglong didn’t want to use any of them. Hence, Linglong’s heart was filled with mixed emotions. It was only then that she looked at Xie Yunxiao with her brows raised and her heart raised. She declined politely, “Can you wait for me?” I can’t leave this place now. I promise one thing to one person. I have to help her with it before I can leave. ”

Xie Yunxiao naturally knew, These were all excuses, but he still smiled and said, “Since the Empress is hard to part with, then why don’t you stay for a while longer? As long as the Empress wants to leave this place, Yun Xiao will definitely be here and will not disappoint the Empress. As for the Empress’ family, they will naturally not be implicated in the slightest because of this matter, so the Empress can rest assured!” In an instant, Linglong had two nightmares to worry about.

Linglong was secretly shocked. Hearing Xie Yunxiao’s methods, she was probably going to kill a monarch. For her sake, she actually did not hesitate to kill a monarch. Her heart was naturally filled with pleasant surprises. She didn’t know if she was happy or sad. She felt that she couldn’t explain the feelings in her heart. She couldn’t help but sigh slightly and said, “Big Brother Yunxiao, don’t be like this. I haven’t thought about it yet. Really, I haven’t thought about it yet.”

Xie Yunxiao’s curved eyebrows slightly trembled. Linglong could see that Xie Yunxiao was feeling very uncomfortable in his heart, so she lowered her eyebrows and did not say a word.

When Xie Yunxiao heard this, he knew what Linglong was thinking, so he smiled and said, “Can the Empress drink a cup with her subordinate? It’s probably a good thing for the mountain flowers to bloom at this time of year. Drink one cup after another, hopefully you won’t wake up drunk again.”

Linglong frowned and looked at Xie Yunxiao, “Alright, Brother Yunxiao, I’ll get you a cup.”

Linglong turned her head and felt her face burning. Fortunately, Linglong could not see how red her face was. If there was a mirror, she could naturally see it. Her face was already as red as a lotus. Linglong turned her head and quickly prepared the cup. In a while, she poured out a pot of spring. The two of them exchanged glances.

It could be seen that Xie Yunxiao was in a bad mood, Linglong was naturally a little disappointed. After what happened just now, Linglong’s heart was filled with mixed emotions. She did not know why she would refuse to thank Yunxiao today. The last time Xie Yunxiao let her leave the inner court, she did not react so fiercely. Was it really for the sake of Princess Baoluo or for the sake of her reputation?

Linglong did not dare to think about it. She only raised her glass and drank heavily. Xie Yunxiao could tell that Linglong was worried, so she waved her hand and said, “Your Highness cannot be greedy for a cup. Your Highness has said so much today. If you really want to fly out of the cage made of gold in the future, you only need to tell your Highness. Your Highness will obey.”
