The First Empress - Chapter 171
Chapter 171 About Kissing Two Or Three Times
Right now, Chen Chongyi was immersed in an inexplicable anxiety. Even Linglong was restless. Every generation had matters related to marriage. However, she did not expect that it would be Baoluo’s turn so quickly.
The pavilion was dark and green, and the breeze was thin. The weather was slightly cold, and there were still withered branches and leaves on the tree that refused to fall. It was just like Linglong and Chen Chongyi were currently in a final struggle. Even if they risked their lives, they still wanted to leave Princess Baoluo behind.
In the past few days, not only had there been a change in the previous dynasty due to the matter of marriage, Even the harem was facing a great enemy, Everyone knew that the Emperor was in favor of marriage, but apart from Linglong and Chen Chongyi, even Ji Zhuhua did not know who was on the list chosen by the Emperor. Therefore, everyone was currently opening their joints for fear that they would send their hard-earned emperor or princess or their own flesh and blood princess to the Western barbarians.
Linglong and Chen Chongyi sat in the Cloud Phoenix Palace. They had no other plans. They could only ask Qin’er to go to the upper study to see if the Emperor was in the lower court. Linglong wanted to take this opportunity to analyze the pros and cons for the Emperor.
“Fall down carefully. Has the Emperor returned?” Linglong asked softly as she saw Qin’er walk in panicked.
“Concubine, you’re back. Do you want to go over now?” Qin’er wiped the sweat off her forehead.
Linglong stood up and said, “You go rest first-” Then, she looked at Chen Chongyi, her tightly pursed lips flushed with nervousness. “Are you going now?”
“After waiting for so long, I naturally want to go now. Sister, don’t worry. The plan lies in the heavens. Sister will naturally treat Baoluo as her own. She will naturally do her best.” At this point, Linglong couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. She looked at Chen Chongyi with her shining eyes like a high-grade black crystal. “There are some things that little sister has to say first. This matter has been decided and then moved. Perhaps the Emperor has already made up his mind. If there is any danger, big sister promised me that she would definitely be fine.”
Chen Chongyi sighed helplessly and wiped her eyelids with her handkerchief. “This sister also knows. You can go.”
Not long after, Linglong had already arrived at the study room.
It seemed that Hui Qi had just arrived at the upper study. The curtains were half-rolled. The warm breeze blew Lin Lang like gold and jade. Linglong walked outside the upper study. It happened to rain again, clearing up the light rain. She wanted nothing more. Linglong raised her head and walked into the inner hall while praying to the heavens. There was a faint ink fragrance mixed with the delicious smell of dragon saliva in the inner hall.
The corner of Linglong’s mouth curved into a beautiful arc, “Your Majesty looks tired today. Perhaps you’ve worked too hard. Your concubine, don’t you want to disturb Your Majesty?”
Huiqi’s eyes were filled with heroic aura. There was a hint of ruthlessness in his pale eyes. However, when he looked at Linglong, this ruthlessness and coldness slowly disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a kind of sympathy. “Come here, I’m going to let Eunuch Lu go find you. It can be seen that I have a connection in my heart.”
Linglong forcefully suppressed the throbbing in her heart. She couldn’t let Hui Qi see the slightest bit of that thunderous rhythm. Her cherry lips didn’t point and she smiled. “Your Majesty is used to joking. Your concubines live in seclusion and don’t know anything about the country. I can only accompany your Majesty to grind it for the rest of the day. I know that your Majesty is tired, so I’m not sure if I should come or not.”
Her beautiful eyes stared at Hui Qi’s face like red lotuses glittering in the water. She had to properly analyze the information revealed by Hui Qi’s facial expression. No matter what, if she wanted to think of a way to defeat a soldier without fighting, this time, her opponent would be the unfathomable Emperor.
Huiqi’s thin lips trembled slightly, and he said, “The matter of marriage has already become a storm in the city. Even the people in the market are complaining about me. It’s fine if others don’t know about it. You know the hardships of the people’s livelihood the best. Tell me what I should do now.”
Linglong had always known that Huiqi was a dictator, Such a question was obviously just a casual question, Her answer was not to influence Huiqi’s actions, However, there was a slight change in Huiqi’s mind. This slight change made her subtly invincible in the imperial court and harem. Thus, Linglong let out a sigh of relief and finally turned Yu Zhu’s breath into a language that she had long thought about.
He didn’t dare to say that he could change Hui Qi’s mind immediately, but it was undoubtedly possible for him to attack or retreat.
She needs these two words to see, Her defense was indestructible and her attacks were invincible. Thus, she had already discussed with Chen Chongyi. Now that she heard Huiqi asking for advice, Linglong sighed slightly and said, “The Emperor is the True Dragon Son of Heaven. Naturally, she knows what to do. I just want to say that there are opinions in the world. The Emperor does not care about the overall situation.” Linglong’s words contained a kind of steady and hidden accusation.
Hui Qi’s sword-like eyebrows slightly trembled as he said, “Why don’t you tell me what to do?”
Linglong looked at Huiqi. There was no change in Huiqi’s expression. Like a clay sculpture, She was still playing with the string of jade pearls in her hand, Linglong adjusted her voice and slightly waved her thick eyelashes to attract half of Huiqi’s attention. She said, “Naturally, we have to get close. Otherwise, Xiyi Khan will naturally not let go of this matter. Our Hehe Empire is naturally not afraid of war, but why not use a woman to quell such a clever thing as war?” After Linglong finished speaking, she was afraid that she would say something wrong. She lowered her long eyelashes and did not dare to look at Huiqi.
After all, Hui Qi might get bored with such words, but she could only follow Hui Qi’s instructions for the time being. Hui Qi had to get close to him, so there was no problem. No matter how the problem was solved, if the first problem was not followed by Hui Qi, then things would not be solved easily if the opponent became prosperous.
The corner of Hui Qi’s mouth curled up slightly and he sneered, “According to what you said, we have to kiss each other?”
Linglong’s clear and bright eyes stared fixedly at Huiqi and said, “Does the Emperor think that there is a second choice besides Xing Bingge?”
Huiqi’s eyes were like flowing water. “No more. Your opinion is exactly the same as Elder Lan’s.”
Hearing this, Linglong said, There was some concern in his heart, Lan Zhenglin was naturally relieved. Not only could Huiqi feel that he was putting himself on the spot for the sake of the ancestral temple, he was also doing it for the sake of consolidating the imperial power. Naturally, Huiqi would feel happy. If this matter was handled well, Lan Sou Yu’s “grounding” would naturally disappear.
Linglong slightly admired the old fox’s wisdom and courage. Her long and slightly curled eyelashes slightly shook her eyes. She pretended to be puzzled and asked, “Did Elder Ge and his concubines actually coincide?”
Huiqi’s beautiful lips smiled. “Lan Zhenglin’s words are exactly the same as yours. He also stands for kissing. Kissing is naturally a good thing. If it weren’t for this, you would know that there is no need to fight. The most feared thing in the world is frequent battles. When the time comes, it will be too late to regret the loss of life for a princess!”
Linglong didn’t dare to miss out on Huiqi’s words. As he listened carefully, As she looked at Huiqi with her beautiful eyes, she waited for Huiqi to finish her sentence before asking an important question. Her beautiful red lips trembled slightly and her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s gnat. “Then, there is naturally another side that is in the main battle. If this concubine is not mistaken, it should be Seventh Prince Hui Ye.”
Linglong didn’t dare to be self-absorbed, but Linglong knew the current situation with her eyes closed. If Hui Ye was in charge of the battle, then she would exhaust Huiqi’s silver and soldiers. At that time, she would naturally be able to defeat Huiqi like a bamboo shoot.
Huiqi smiled wildly and said, “You’re right. This is the only thing I’m thinking about.”
Linglong’s cheeks were like pink clouds. Being affirmed and a little uncomfortable, he looked at Huiqi and said, “Actually, Hundred Refinements Steel can be used to wrap around the fingers. When the Emperor thinks about it carefully, he is merely giving up a princess. Since the Western barbarians have already mentioned it, the Emperor naturally cannot refute it. They are here to pay tribute year after year, and it will be fine for the princess to return to peace at that time.” Saying this, Linglong sighed angrily, It was as if he was deep-seated, “If we were to fight, our country would be empty now. If we were to fight, our lives would naturally be in dire straits. If the people had known that the Western barbarians were only here for a duke, the emperor would have lost the people’s hearts,” he said. Linglong’s face turned slightly redder and redder as she knelt on the golden brick floor. “This concubine has something that I don’t know if I should say.”
“Tell me about it–” Hui Qi looked at Linglong with his heart-wrenching eyes.
Linglong looked at Huiqi with her pure pupils and finally straightened her heart. She said, “Those who gain the hearts of the people obtain the world. Since ancient times, the world has been inhabited by virtuous people. If the emperor loses the hearts of the people, it is naturally impossible to protect the country. At that time, Seventh Prince took advantage of the void and entered. Has the emperor ever thought of the outcome?” After Linglong finished speaking, she slightly knocked her head on the golden brick floor and felt strands of cold air drill into her brain.
Huiqi stretched out his hand to help Linglong up. “You don’t avoid the axe and axe. Just say whatever you have. If all of my officials are as quiet as you, and say more from the bottom of their hearts, I will understand what is the best choice.” The bridge of Huiqi’s handsome nose was like a mountain, and the wings on both ends of his nose were trembling slightly from anger.
Linglong frowned, slightly surprised, and asked, “Could there be a neutral faction?”
Her cold eyes were as bright as a crescent moon in the night sky. “Dowager Mu has always been a neutral party. How can a dowager like him be the Crown Prince’s teacher? I can’t refute Concubine Mu’s face. For all these years, Concubine De has offered herself a simple contract. Princess Zhenxi has also attracted people’s love. That’s why I …”
Linglong didn’t notice what Huiqi said. Huiqi’s list had already been drawn up. One was Princess Zhenxi and the other was Princess Baoluo. Either way, Linglong couldn’t help but feel a little anxious when she thought of this.
