The First Empress - Chapter 174

Chapter 174 Open the Box to Examine the Pomegranate Skirt

Plantain did not unfold the lilac knot, and Linglong’s heart was like a plantain, repeating itself repeatedly.

On this day, Linglong sat quietly in Yunluan Palace. Suddenly, Qin’er walked in in panic. “Imperial concubine, this is bad. Imperial concubine Chen Chongyi knelt outside school for the Emperor’s son and begged for a Face Saint. She was rejected by the Emperor. Now, she can’t kneel up for a long time, but it’s awesome.”

Hearing this, Linglong felt a slight pain in her heart. “Come, follow me to see my sister.”

Chen Chongyi was dressed in light pink clothes and covered in pink clothes. Her slender figure had become much shorter because of kneeling down. She was like an oleander that could be cut off. Her pair of tall hands supported the golden brick floor and continuously kowtowed to the ground. Linglong hurriedly came to Chen Chongyi and said, “Elder sister, is this foolish?” “How can this be a place where elder sister can act like a fool? If the Emperor doesn’t see you, even if you were to commit suicide outside school for the Emperor’s son, no one would care. Elder sister is being obscure.” Linglong hurriedly comforted Chen Chongyi. At this time, Eunuch Lu also walked out with the fly support and helped Linglong to help Chen Chongyi up.

Chen Chongyi knelt down greedily, and the blood on her face turned so pale. She was like a clean piece of white paper that was about to return in the wind.

Linglong stretched out her well-proportioned fingers to wipe the sweat off Chen Chongyi’s forehead and said, “Big sister, go back. There’s no need for anyone to laugh at you.” “Your Majesty, this isn’t a place that ordinary people can come to. Although your sister can come and go directly, your Majesty’s heart is as strong as iron. You also saw it …” Linglong said. She didn’t know if she should reveal the Emperor’s intentions completely, but seeing Chen Chongyi’s outstretched appearance, she could only earnestly pull Chen Chongyi under the flower shelves in front of her.

Chen Chongyi’s eyes looked at Linglong like a mist, her hands tightly clutching the corner of her clothes. “Little sister, do you have a way to tell big sister? Is the emperor’s plan decided or is it open to question?”

Linglong sighed, her delicate mouth slightly curled up, “Your Majesty–”

Chen Chongyi’s red lips slightly opened. Looking nervously at Linglong, Linglong really couldn’t bear to say it, However, there was nothing that could be done about the current situation, even if he didn’t say it out loud, He could only say indifferently, “Big sister, forget it. We are the same people. We are naturally understated. Right now, our sacred will has been decided. According to the Emperor’s wishes, Princess Zhenxi’s family is also a colorful part of the dynasty. With Mu Qianzhi’s aides, Consort De is the fourth concubine. Moreover, Royal Teacher Mu is the teacher who teaches the imperial eldest son. We can’t compete. Big sister, give up.”

It wasn’t that Linglong didn’t think of a way, but that all the shortcuts she could use had been used. Not only did it not work, but it was also angered by the Emperor. She was also unconscious now, so she only asked Jun Xin.

After hearing what Linglong said, Chen Chongyi’s eyes were like frozen clear water. She circled around Linglong’s face and almost fell to the ground. Linglong couldn’t bear it and hurriedly reached out to support Chen Chongyi. Chen Chongyi was still incredulous and her hands trembled. “Is there really nothing she can do?”

Linglong held Chen Chongyi’s hand tightly. “Little sister Fa will still do everything she can to make the Emperor stay behind with Baoluo. Do you understand? The Emperor’s heart is like a bandit stone, irreversible. You also saw that the Emperor rarely punished me to kneel down. Last time …”

Hearing this, Chen Chongyi’s face turned ashen. However, he still made one last effort and tightly clutched Linglong’s wrist. Her eyes, which were as dizzy as a pearl, were filled with hope. “Little sister, help big sister. The plan is in the sky. We definitely have a way, don’t we?”

Linglong hurriedly waved her hand and pointed to the surroundings, saying, “Sister, this is not the place to talk. Go to your place.”

Hearing this, Chen Chongyi nodded sullenly. She walked first. Linglong was afraid that Chen Chongyi would fall and walked beside Chen Chongyi. Soon, the two of them had already arrived at Chen Chongyi’s palace.

Princess Bao Luo is actually here. Linglong stretches out her hand and Bao Luo walks over. Linglong says, “Now that you’ve grown up, Mother Bu asks you, do you like your mother very much?” Bao Luo’s pair of beautiful and translucent eyes fell on Chen Chongyi’s thin figure and said, “Naturally, I like Imperial Concubine Mother very much.” Hearing this, Linglong’s eyebrows became firm and she said, “Then you must take good care of your mother. The current situation is unstable, and your mother’s health is not good. Can you listen to what Mother Bu said?”

Linglong glanced at Chen Chongyi. Chen Chongyi’s face was ashen, and she resisted the urge to ask Linglong for an idea. Linglong only felt that Chen Chongyi was too thin and thin, as if she was in a smoke.

Bao Luo nodded and said, “Imperial concubine mother and Imperial concubine mother Bu should stay with Bao Luo well. In any case, there are only twenty days left before they are separated. Let Bao Luo properly show filial respect to Imperial concubine mother and Imperial concubine mother Bu. It is already the path of human and child.”

Linglong was secretly shocked. This news could not be blocked. It had already spread far and wide. Chen Chongyi immediately went over and hugged Baoluo. “It’s because Mother is useless. Mother can’t protect you anymore. Mother’s sin.” Due to Chen Chongyi’s excitement, a layer of blood color was missing from her skin, making her look extremely pale. Her hands trembled as she hugged Baoluo in her arms. Her delicate hands slightly extended into the air, and she sighed slightly.

Baoluo smiled. But the smile was filled with helplessness and bitterness, Almost as he laughed, tears also gathered at the corner of his eyes. Suddenly, it was like the sparkling spring water in the Jade Water Cold Lake. Everything flowed down. Linglong helped Bao Luo wipe her cheeks and comforted, “Before the end, Imperial Concubine Bu will find a way for you. The Western barbarians are the land of barbarians, and the people have yet to develop their wisdom. Besides, I have been nurtured by women throughout the dynasties and cannot hike. How can Imperial Concubine Bu watch as you jump into the fire hall?”

Baoluo naturally heard about it. Because Linglong almost received the Emperor’s cold gaze on her own matters, it was a big sin to say something wrong in the harem. Baoluo naturally did not want Linglong to make any mistakes.

Looking at Linglong’s immortal-like figure, Baoluo suddenly smiled and said, “Actually, it’s nothing. Baoluo has not been nourished with a delicate body since childhood. This time, it’s nothing. It’s just that Guan Shan can’t often give her to Mother’s knees.”

Linglong felt that it was too tragic. The tears on Chen Chongyi’s face could not be suppressed. Bao Luo tried her best to help Chen Chongyi wipe away the tears on his face. Linglong heavily sighed, “Imperial Concubine Bu left and right, don’t risk her life. Help you to make a complaint again!” “Imperial Concubine Bu is joking. Imperial Concubine Bu doesn’t feel wronged. As a princess, one day she will marry a foreign country. I’m already satisfied with her. Why should I let Imperial Concubine Bu suffer other accusations and criticisms?” Bao Luo hurriedly walked over and hugged Linglong. As she spoke, she pulled Linglong and Chen Chongyi into the inner hall. Linglong did not know what Bao Luo was going to do, but followed her worriedly.

Chen Chongyi tried her best to suppress her sobs and asked, “What is this?”

“Imperial concubine mother, don’t ask. This child will show Imperial concubine mother something.” Bao Luo felt like a fairy descending from the mortal world. She elegantly pulled Ling Long and Chen Chongyi into the inner hall. Ling Long was full of suspicion and couldn’t help but carefully examine the inner hall. She saw that a fiery red wedding dress had already been placed on the Agarwood Cloud Bed in the inner hall. Ling Long couldn’t help but be shocked, “Are you letting Imperial Concubine Bu see this?”

Linglong’s eyes were shocked. Bao Luo raised her head slightly, with an arc that no one dared to look at. She did not look at Ling Long’s angry face, but reached out to grab the wedding dress and gestured on her body. She said, “I have already made the red wedding dress for the Internal Affairs Department and the Shanggong Bureau. Mother, can you see if this phoenix’s eyes are good or its tail?”

Chen Chongyi looked at the red robe floating in the wind. Instantly, she couldn’t help but let out a loud cry of sorrow. Linglong felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. It was as if someone had cut her with a knife. Baoluo was only three years younger than her. She could be considered a big girl. Now that she was helplessly watching Baoluo leave the pavilion, she was naturally feeling very sad in her heart.

It was fine to marry an ordinary man. Even if it was the grass within his stomach, he could still survive this remnant. He wouldn’t be exposed to any inexplicable schemes. Aren’t all the children in the palace looking forward to marrying into the families of commoners? However, this time, she had to marry to the Western barbarians. No matter how far the Western barbarians were, it was impossible for her to reach the 8,000-kilometer road. She had to be far away from the oceans …

The more Linglong thought about it, the more irritated she became. She couldn’t help but sigh and said, “Mother will help you with your complaint. It’s better to put away this dress.” Linglong held the wedding dress in her arms and threw it heavily on the cloud couch. Chen Chongyi knelt down beside Linglong again with a happy expression on her face. “Sister, please think of a way. There’s really no other way. It’s Baoluo’s life. Baoluo, come over and kowtow to Bu Mother.”

Baoluo hurriedly walked over. She locked her hopeful eyes on Linglong. Seeing this scene, Linglong felt that it was difficult to leave. She could only nod her head reluctantly and said, “You have seen the Emperor’s attitude. I can go to school for the Emperor’s son. However, I can only act according to the Emperor’s fury. If I really can’t save Baoluo’s fate this time, it will probably be due to fate.”

Chen Chongyi saw that there was still a last glimmer of hope, and she didn’t care about anything else. She acted like a dead horse and nodded repeatedly, saying, “This is the only way. I just don’t want to implicate you, okay?” Linglong secretly nodded and said, “Sister will find a way. Sister can just wait for good news.”

Linglong really couldn’t bear to see Chen Chongyi and Bao Luo being separated. Linglong’s sad expression really made her feel bad, She walked out three steps at the same time. She was thinking of a way in her heart. After a while, Linglong felt that she shouldn’t agree to all the things she wanted. After all, there were some things that couldn’t be changed by human resources. Now that she had agreed to everything, she had to protect Baoluo no matter what.

Just as Linglong walked out, she said to Qin’er, “Inquire which hall the Emperor is in now, but is he still in the study yet to come out? Just come and report after greeting him.”
