The First Empress - Chapter 182
Chapter 182 Lu’an Tea
“You are Princess Zhen Xi’s mother. I promise you that I will let Zhen Xi return to Mother Nation every other quarter after the marriage. What do you think, Concubine De?” Unexpectedly, even Tuoba Rui thought of Concubine De’s future worries. Concubine De didn’t know what to say and was a little embarrassed. She said for a long time, “In short, I don’t want to give Princess Zhen Xi to a foreign country. Even if I do, I can’t give her to the Western barbarians.”
“Are you sure that my heart is as ugly as mine when you see my ugly face?” Tuoba Rui was so angry that he waved his sleeves and said, “I’m afraid there’s only one way to turn hostilities into peace. I’ll leave now and wait for Khan’s saber soldiers to arrive.”
As he spoke, Tuoba Rui had already left. Linglong sighed and said, “Your Majesty, it’s better to follow the method of this concubine. However, there is a little risk. Those who have achieved great things are naturally not afraid of risk.”
Huiqi sighed and said, “This matter is not suitable for saber soldiers. You have never fought with Tuoba Khan before. This person is indeed a fierce and sharp general. This dynasty’s General Huben is also helpless against Tuoba Khan. Do you understand how formidable he is?”
“Then,” Linglong looked at Concubine De and said, “what does Concubine De think?”
Imperial Concubine De looked at the red carpet and her eyes were almost red. “This palace will defend Zhen Xi to the death. I will not refrain from it. Your Majesty, this concubine is tired. These things are your Majesty’s business. Your Majesty’s Holy Judge will definitely not disappoint this concubine,” said Imperial Concubine De.
Huiqi sat behind the dark red book table, his body slightly trembling. He said, “Concubine De, please go. I will naturally consider a plan for the best of both worlds. I will not disappoint you.”
When Concubine De left, Huiqi looked at Linglong with a focused expression and asked, “These things have wronged you. If you can think about it, Concubine De is like this. Do you understand?” Linglong secretly nodded and looked at the Emperor, saying, “Since the Emperor knows that Khan’s temper is not as good as … pushing the boat along the river is just a beautiful thing. According to this concubine, although this prince’s face is ugly, his heart is a scarlet golden color. The Emperor must not lose out on small matters.”
‘”Besides,” Linglong thought for a moment and said subtly, “In this way, Taifu Mu wouldn’t dare to act rashly. Otherwise, the Emperor would have been able to mobilize troops in the Western barbarians, and Khan had always been the one to say the same thing. Does the Emperor think?”
Time seemed to have stopped. Huiqi let out a cold sigh and said, “You should go back first. I will summon you at any time. These things should not have involved you. However, your brain is rather exquisite. If necessary, give me one or two ideas.”
Huiqi looked at Linglong’s black hair and said, “Go down.” After pondering for a while, Linglong nodded and said, “This concubine will go down now.”
Linglong was complacent, but she still told Chen Chongyi not to act rashly, let alone have any connection with him.
After a while, Linglong arrived at Yunluan Palace. Sheng said indifferently, “Concubine De’s people have just come over. They said that Concubine De has good tea leaves so that you can come over to drink tea.” Sheng deliberately emphasized the word “drink tea”, so Linglong naturally understood that the so-called “drink tea” would definitely not be so simple.
Linglong straightened her back and nodded, “Let’s go. I know what Concubine De means.”
After a while, Linglong had already arrived at Concubine De’s palace.
Tea is Jun Shan’s Lu’an tea. It is indeed fragrant. After taking a sip, Concubine De finally spoke. Her voice seemed to contain a tremendous amount of tenacity. “Jie Yu, please let Princess Zhenxi go. This palace will be grateful to you.” Linglong placed the teacup on the table. “This concubine doesn’t understand what Your Highness means. This concubine didn’t spare anyone. This concubine has always wanted Tuoba Rui to take Princess Bao Luo away, but” My Heart’s Bandit Stone, can’t be turned “. Your Highness also saw it, didn’t she?”
Concubine De looked coldly at Linglong and said, “Do you really think I’m blind? If you hadn’t instigated Zhenxi to dance, how would Zhenxi have made an uproar? If you hadn’t instigated Tuoba Rui, how could this prince insist on sleeping with Princess Zhenxi?”
Linglong smiled loyally and said, “These are all made by this palace. Your Majesty’s tea is very good. However, Your Majesty must understand that the situation is stronger than others. Everything is under my control. This is called planning and deciding to win a thousand miles away, isn’t it?”
Imperial Concubine De did not expect Linglong to suddenly admit it all. She was just decorating the peace just now, but she had already agreed to it all so quickly?
Imperial Concubine De’s Xuanwen Yunxiu was trembling slightly. She looked at Linglong in disbelief and said, “Was that painting your masterpiece?”
“This palace’s Dan Qing Mo Bao must have depicted Princess Zhenxi’s peerless beauty. There is no other way. Concubine De has also heard of this saying. If a scholar dies for a confidante, Linglong can only do so.” Linglong’s tone slowly became cold.
Imperial Concubine De seemed to be immersed in the world she had created. She sighed for a long time and said, “I beg you not to let Princess Zhenxi leave this palace. This palace will give you whatever you want.”
Linglong stretched out her slender and beautiful finger to stroke the table and said, “This palace doesn’t want anything. This palace only needs you to marry Princess Zhenxi to Tuoba Rui. I believe that in the future, the Empress and her concubines will be at odds. This concubine is already fearless. The Empress has helped this concubine before, and this concubine will remember it in her heart. I will definitely repay you kindly in the future.” Linglong stood up and prepared to leave.
Imperial Concubine De raised her head to look at Linglong and said, “Since there will definitely be a retribution in the future, why not now?”
Linglong’s breathing tightened, and her throat choked up. She turned around and said, “It’s only because of the relationship between Chen Chongyi and this concubine for more than ten years that you can’t cripple them!”
There were also faint traces of tears on Zhang Pianruo’s shocked face. Her exquisite face was clearly cold and sharp. She sighed for a long time and said, “Your Highness, please be blessed. Now, even if I want to help Your Highness, I can’t. Tuoba Rui has already taken a good look at Princess Zhenxi.”
Imperial Concubine De’s dark and deep eyes stared at Linglong tightly and said coldly, “I shouldn’t have helped you back then, you snake and scorpion woman, I misjudged you.”
Linglong’s face was filled with a charming color. She turned around and said, “Your Highness has been in the harem for so many years. Could it be that you don’t know the truth about birds dying for food? Your concubines also have no choice but to do so. Otherwise, they would definitely not make such a move. They only wish to rely on their own abilities in the future!” Linglong’s thick eyebrows forcefully suppressed the tears that were already hanging in the air. After a long time, her tall and straight nose twitched. Then, she turned around and her beautiful figure slightly shook as she left.
Concubine De was more like a sandalwood-carved Bodhisattva. Apart from a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, the rest of the place seemed to be slowly stiffening. Slowly stiffening …
Linglong walked out of Concubine De’s palace. At this time, he felt that his entire body was filled with an indescribable Shu Tai. Naturally, he wouldn’t show too much sadness, When she walked into Yunluan Palace, she felt that she would become an evil person from now on. A person who would do anything for her own ends. When she first entered the palace, Linglong was so afraid of such a person, so afraid and disgusted with such a person. However, she did not expect that she would be such a person now.
She carried an inexplicable nobility and elegance. Qin’er did not know whether Linglong was crying or laughing, but the corner of her eyes and eyebrows had a bit of astral energy, making people uncertain.
It was really unexpected at this time, Tuoba actually went to his own Yunluan Palace, Linglong adjusted her sitting posture. Prince Tuoba had already walked in. Seeing Tuoba Rui enter, Linglong naturally turned away his attendants and personally served Tuoba Rui some tea. Tuoba Rui took a sip and said, “Your performance today has gone overboard. If your emperor really doesn’t let go of the foreign ministers, wouldn’t the foreign ministers dig a pit themselves and jump into the pit?”
Linglong raised her beautiful eyebrows rebelliously. She looked at Tuoba Rui and asked, “What kind of person is Tuoba Khan? If he had a princess, would he give her away for the sake of marriage?”
Tuoba Rui seemed to understand something. He looked at Linglong’s clear eyes like morning dew and said, “If it was Prince Tuoba, it naturally wouldn’t matter. In the Western barbarians, they were originally goods that could be sent here and there, but it didn’t seem to be the same in the capital.”
Linglong looked at Tuoba Rui’s straight nose and smiled, “Actually, it’s fine if you walk around with Princess Zhenxi more in the future. I can tell that Princess Zhenxi likes you too. Otherwise, she wouldn’t dance so brilliantly. You already understood that day, didn’t you?” Furthermore, I wonder if Princess Zhenxi intentionally did that painting on the wall? Could it be that someone else hung it up? One must know that there are ordinary people who do not have the ability to hang up their paintings. ”
Tuoba Rui looked at Linglong’s lips that were like rose petals and said, “Your Highness means to let this foreign minister test whether Princess Zhenxi is interested in this foreign minister or something else.”
Linglong revealed a bad smile and said, “First of all, I naturally want you to make sure. Second, wouldn’t the Prince be happy after hearing this?” There are many hardships in life. For example, Chao Lu, it is better to have fun in time. At this point, the Prince probably understands the good intentions of this palace. He really didn’t hide it from the Prince. This palace has to trouble himself to think about the prince’s affairs. ”
Tuoba Rui’s two thick eyebrows slightly trembled as he said, “This is obvious. After the foreign ministers succeed, they will naturally not forget the great kindness and kindness of Your Highness. Your Highness can rest assured.”
Linglong’s eyes were filled with soft ripples as she said, “Does the Prince know what to do now?” The corners of Linglong’s mouth seemed to have a smile all the time, curving upwards. Tuoba Rui already understood Linglong’s meaning and nodded, “It is naturally very good for me to get closer to Princess Zhenxi, but I can’t enter. What should I do?”
“It ‘s not difficult, Nothing is difficult in this world, You’re a guest of the Dali Dynasty, Lord Jacques came to celebrate, Imperial Concubine De must also wish for you to visit her palace more often. “Although Concubine De has righteously rejected the prince, how could she know that Concubine De doesn’t want more money from the harem? Concubine De only has Princess Zhenxi’s daughter, so she naturally can’t bear to part with her. You know that she always walks around, and even if she is sincere, you’re afraid that you won’t be able to carry her back?” Living here, Linglong already felt that she had said everything she needed to say. She smoothed out the relationship and said, “Do you still have any worries?”
“It’s just that Zhenxi really intends to talk to an outsider?” Her eyes were like a bright crescent moon in the night sky as she looked at Linglong. Linglong was not sure. She said, “Princess Zhenxi will not say anything about these children even if she is beaten to death. If you want to ask me that I am not Zhenxi, it would be better to go find the person involved.”
“But these things–” He was obviously worried too.
Linglong used her fair hand to bring a cup of tea over. “Father Tuoba Khan did not do things like this, “Accelerating is naturally beneficial. Don’t make a big mistake because of your mistake. After all, you know that the right to choose is always in your hands. The Emperor only has the decision-making power. But if Princess Zhenxi also chose you, wouldn’t your arm be unable to wring your thigh?”
Tuoba Rui suddenly became enlightened. His face revealed a kind of determination like a sculpture. He said, “Right now, I will go over there and meet more with Princess Zhenxi. It’s good that Your Highness is at ease. However, I still need to ask Your Highness to help me when necessary. I wonder if Your Highness is willing to do so.”
Linglong’s red lips rippled with an intoxicating smile, “This palace is naturally happy to see it succeed, and this palace will naturally help you with good things that are pleasing to everyone. What else do you have to worry about?”
