The First Empress - Chapter 172
Chapter 172 An Invisible Tiger Wolf
Hui Qi stretched out his hand to stroke the exquisite wind bun and sighed, “If it’s all like you, I can’t bear to part with it. Right now, I will choose one of Bao Luo and Zhen Xi.”
Linglong looked at Hui Qi’s straight nose and cold eyes. She could not guess what was going on in Hui Qi’s heart. She just anxiously stared at Hui Qi. It was indeed an unfathomable heavenly might. Was it really the Emperor’s heart that was unfathomable?
Linglong was slightly dizzy and asked, “Has the Emperor chosen yet?”
Hui Qi’s clear and bright pupils revealed a slightly embarrassed expression. His lips rose slightly and he sighed slightly, “Treasure is a little bigger than Bao Luo. Let’s talk about this candidate-”
Before he could finish his sentence, there was already a series of sounds outside. After a while, the bead curtain shook and Concubine De walked in.
Imperial Concubine De, who had been ill for a long time, gave off a slight feeling of broken bones. The fingers that had been twirling the Buddha Pearl for so many years looked tall and pale. Linglong looked sideways at Concubine De who had just walked in. She had always been happy and angry, but today, she did not look graceful and elegant at all. After coming in, she knelt in front of Huiqi and cut off Huiqi’s words at her waist.
“This person is not Princess Baoluo. Princess Zhen Xi is undoubtedly a princess. Moreover, her talent and virtue are above Princess Baoluo’s. Your Majesty cannot be too distant.” At this point, Huiqi was slightly moved and gave Linglong a look. Linglong understood what Huiqi meant and hurriedly extended her hand to help De Fei. However, De Fei would not stand up until she received the letter. Linglong could only stand there in a stalemate.
She felt that Concubine De’s fingers were as cold as ice pillars under the eaves in December. The temperature had been completely sucked away by the accident that had caught her off guard just now.
Linglong glanced at Concubine De’s fair and almost translucent skin and shook her head slightly. Hui Qi said, “You are one of the Third Concubine. Get up. This matter has not become a settlement. You have the right to speak. Tell me about it.”
Concubine De’s red lips curved slightly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. Her pair of nimble eyes looked at Linglong and said, “This concubine really has room to speak?”
Linglong instinctively dodged Concubine De, Concubine De was also a little tired of meeting Concubine De. Concubine De looked at Linglong relentlessly. Linglong’s heart was also in a mess. Concubine De naturally knew why Linglong had come. She and Chen Chongyi were hanging in the shadows. Naturally, they came to plead for Chen Chongyi’s mercy. Right now, Princess Zhenxi and Princess Bao Luo were the suitable for marriage.
Linglong looked at Concubine De with determination, as if the Emperor would have to kneel here forever if he wanted to send Princess Zhenxi away …
Huiqi raised his lips and said, “Get up and talk first.”
Linglong looked down at Concubine De. A gentle ripple appeared in Concubine De’s eyes. She looked at Huiqi and said, “This concubine only has one sentence. If the Emperor agrees to this concubine, get up.”
The thing that Huiqi could not bear the most was the threat of others. At this time, he only smiled coldly and said, “Since you like to kneel, you should kneel and talk.”
Seeing the stalemate, Linglong hurriedly pleaded for De Fei’s mercy. Huiqi said coldly, “What does it have to do with her kneeling on her own? You just have to sit here.” Linglong finally felt that something was wrong and stood up.
Imperial Concubine De’s face was like Fu Rong, without any expression, as if she was obedient. “The emperor told me to reply as I please.” She could tell that there was a trace of bitterness in her tone. Linglong instinctively avoided it, and Huiqi also slightly leaned over and said, “I told you to get up, but you did the opposite. Do you feel that I have wronged you?”
“This concubine is not wronged. I just beg the Emperor not to let Princess Zhenxi go to the Wilderness.” After De Fei finished her statement, she kowtowed heavily on the golden brick floor. Ling Long felt the responsibility on her shoulders and the weight of the burden. Now that she saw De Fei’s determination, she knew that her ice-breaking operation was difficult and difficult. However, Ling Long would not give up. She could only listen to De Fei’s intentions.
Huiqi’s bright and clear eyes looked at Concubine De and said, “Who told you that I wanted to send Zhenxi away?” Huiqi glanced at Linglong with dissatisfaction. Only Linglong and herself knew about this matter. Linglong looked at Huiqi with a clear conscience.
Concubine De said indifferently, “Even if I guess, I can guess that there is no difference between eight and nine. Your Majesty, do you think that Zhen Xi can’t act rashly?”
‘”You–” Huiqi pressed down on his temple and said, “Get up and reply. I always knew that you had a strong temper, but don’t break your body by kneeling down. You are Zhenxi’s birth mother. I know what you think. Stand up and speak first.”
Linglong wanted to see how Concubine De handled such a difficult matter, Concubine De’s eyes were ethereal and elegant. Just like the Yobraha flower in front of the Buddha, “This concubine won’t get up, I beg Your Majesty to retract my orders, Xiyi Guanshan handed it over to him for a dozen or so miles. “There was no one else in the past. Furthermore, Zhenxi is your first princess. I naturally cannot sit idly by and ignore such a thing today. Your Majesty, I have never knelt on my knees for such a long time. I only wish that the Emperor would not let Princess Zhenxi get married for the sake of your concubine, the Azure Lamp Ancient Buddha, begging for the blessings of the country.”
Imperial Concubine De lowered her temples and looked at Hui Qi. Hui Qi finally had no choice but to stand up. She stretched out her hand and said, “You get up first. I haven’t considered it clearly yet. You get up first.”
Imperial Concubine De’s eyes flashed with a bright light. She stood up and looked at Imperial Concubine De with a sigh.
Imperial Concubine De’s eyes were as resolute as the ice outside. “The Emperor can look inside the Imperial Concubine. There are a total of seven Imperial Concubines. Harmonious Imperial Concubines and Chunning Imperial Concubines are all possible.”
Everyone was doing it for their own sake, and pushing other people’s children into the pit of fire was something they would never tire of doing.
In order to prevent Hui Qi from thinking about Princess Zhen Xi, Concubine De immediately shifted her target and asked Hui Qi to look for her from the Imperial Concubine.
Seeing Concubine De say this, Linglong also retreated. She smiled and said, “Concubine De can see farther. Actually, the Emperor can also look for her in the Imperial Concubine.” Linglong knew better than anyone that even though there were seven emperors, the oldest was only eleven years old, and the rest were slightly younger. Not to mention getting married at such a young age, whether they could survive in a wild place like the Western barbarians was a problem.
Linglong looked at Huiqi’s expression, and Huiqi’s long eyebrows straightened into her temples. Looking at the two of them, he sneered repeatedly, “You guys know how to speak, but the oldest emperor is only eleven years old. Don’t you know that?”
Linglong was slightly surprised. She really didn’t know about this. Concubine De naturally knew about it. However, she sighed slightly and said, “Which of the emperor’s imperial concubines and princesses in the palace does the emperor think is the most dazzling?”
“One is Baoluo, the other is Zhenxi. Other than that, the rest are mediocre people.” Said Huiqi.
Imperial Concubine De heard this, She couldn’t help but be nervous. Linglong clearly saw a flash of resistance on Concubine De’s face. But very quickly, Concubine De smiled peacefully and said, “Why didn’t Your Majesty choose Princess Bao Luo? Princess Bao Luo is smart and proud. She must have made great achievements in going to the Western barbarians. Besides, she is a princess who is a Khan. She doesn’t lose anything.”
Huiqi’s expression changed slightly as he said, “You are reluctant to part with Princess Zhen Xi. Could it be that Chen Chongyi is willing to part with Princess Baoluo? Will you kneel down here and beg for mercy? Could it be that Chen Chongyi will not?” As he spoke, Huiqi threw the rosary in his hand on the red sandalwood table in front of him and scolded, “You are also a Buddhist. You must know that in the eyes of the Buddha, there is no self and no form. Saving one’s life is better than the Seventh Grade Buddha Pagoda. Why are you talking about other people’s princesses pushing them forward?”
After Huiqi finished speaking, she coldly looked at Concubine De. Concubine De was instantly speechless. Linglong took this opportunity to say, “Since ancient times, it is easy to donate generously, but it is difficult to be calm. The Emperor must think twice, and not let Baoluo and Zhenxi have any trouble at this time.”
Imperial Concubine De’s eyes revealed a sense of secluded chastity. “Your Majesty, Princess Zhenxi is not allowed to get married. The Western barbarians are far away from this dynasty. Princess Zhenxi has always been raised in her boudoir and has never taken a single step out of the palace. I’m just afraid that when the time comes, Zhenxi …” Concubine De had already reached out to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes. Linglong sighed and quickly handed over a handkerchief. Concubine De’s sorrowful appearance made Huiqi’s heart soften a lot. Linglong also knew that Concubine De never pleaded for mercy, let alone kneeling for a long time.
I only hope that Huiqi will not send Baoluo to the Western barbarians because of such a sincere attitude. Sometimes, everyone is selfish, and Linglong knows that she is no exception.
Hui Qi’s thick black eyebrows slightly trembled as he asked Linglong, “What do you think? Is it Bao Luo or Zhen Xi now?”
Linglong didn’t dare to say anything. After all, Concubine De was here, If one sentence is not enough to make an enemy of Concubine De, Concubine De didn’t seem to have anything to do with it in the palace, but Linglong knew that only Concubine De was an invisible tiger wolf. The purest and most harmless person was actually the most unfathomable. Concubine De’s methods and eyesight might not be clear to others, but Linglong had already understood it several times.
A faint blush appeared on Linglong’s face at the right time. Her mature and elegant eyes hesitated for a moment. She looked at Huiqi and said, “Your Majesty, I dare not speak rashly. Please think twice before you act. Your Majesty, if you don’t pool your wisdom, there should still be a way.”
Hui Qi’s eyes seemed to instantly ripple as he sternly said, “Is there any other way? Tell me one too!”
Linglong thought hard, A few days ago, he had been racking his brains with Chen Chongyi. At this time, it was naturally the soldiers who came to block the water and cover up the earth. They fearlessly said, “The Emperor can look for children who look like Baoluo and Zhenxi among the people. After all, the world knows that there are similarities between humans. They want a princess. The Emperor is satisfied with Khan. As for whether it is a real princess or a fake princess, only we know. What does the Emperor think?”
Hui Qi almost pushed Linglong down. Linglong had never provoked Hui Qi like this before. She couldn’t help but be afraid. She quickly knelt down. She now understood that Hui Qi could only choose between the two princesses. No one else was allowed. Hui Qi’s entire body gave off an icy cold feeling and his eyes widened. “Impudent, do you know what you’re talking about?” “I am the True Dragon Son of Heaven, how can I do such a speculative thing?” Hui Qi frowned slightly when he said this. “Are you supposed to come up with such a plan?” You’ve always been smart. What happened this time? ”
Linglong exchanged tears and looked at the Emperor sadly.
Concubine De looked at Linglong calmly. Huiqi said, “Moreover, this matter is also easy to know, khan has said that after spring will be married, naturally is not dying, in such a short period of time where to find such a suitable girl, and the imperial woman is naturally the appearance of the girl, folk women are still different, plus imitation and training is a hundred-year-old tree! Don’t you know that it’s imminent now? “
