The First Empress - Chapter 188

Chapter 188 In the Midst of All Sorts of Calamities

That night, the exquisite jade emblem Qi brought her vegetarian hands into the orchid room together. The two of them were hungry and thirsty. They finally parted ways. It was already dawn slowly.

Ling waited on Huiqi to freshen up. Huiqi walked away. Linglong sat down disappointedly. For some reason, there was always a sense of guilt slowly invading her. She actually felt cold in this weather. Qin’er saw Linglong tremble and put a big red gorilla felt cloak on Linglong’s shoulder.

Linglong scared and jumped up hurriedly, “What is this?”

Linglong was thinking about Ten Miles of Red Makeup when Zhen Xi got married. She didn’t expect that there would suddenly be such a red cloth covering her face. She was also shocked. However, Qin’er didn’t know the situation at all and picked up the clothes that fell to the ground. “Servant only came here to put on a dress for Your Highness because she was trembling. Your Highness …”

“I don’t blame you. It’s good that you’re busy with your own business. It’s my business.” Linglong waved her hand and Qin’er left. Not long after, Qin’er came back. Linglong asked, “But there are some strange flowers blooming. Send them over to this palace, so that this palace won’t have to run around and take a look.”

Qin’er shook her head repeatedly. “It’s Zhu Qing from the Empress’ side who came over. She said that she wanted the Empress to make a trip to Kunde Palace from the upper study. The Empress should have prepared it earlier.”

“You don’t need to go to the study today. What are you preparing now? Seeing the Empress is not a noodle king. You and I will just go.” Linglong stood up and Qin’er waited on Linglong’s side. Soon, the two of them had already arrived at Kunde Palace.

It had been a long time since Linglong had come to Kun De Palace to deal with Tuoba Rui’s matters. She didn’t know why she had come here, but she felt that the Kun De Palace wasn’t as magnificent and magnificent as usual.

Ji Zhuhua’s face was like congealed fat. His body was like a sculpture of sandalwood, Sitting upright, Linglong saw the courtesy and looked up at Ji Zhuhua. Ji Zhuhua was still in high spirits, wearing a white peony soft gauze. Linglong thought of the white peony that suddenly bloomed in her potted plant. She couldn’t help but associate it with the royal dress and broke out in a cold sweat.

Ji Zhuhua walked over with the white mop dress. Linglong felt as if those exquisite embroidered peonies were about to come back to life. Ji Zhuhua stretched out his pink and crisp hands. She grabbed Linglong’s wrist and said, Linglong lowered her temples and pretended to be cowardly, because Ji Zhuhua could not perform in her original color. She had to disguise herself. Ji Zhuhua seemed to have seen Linglong for the first time. After carefully looking at Linglong, he sighed slightly and said, “After all, she has lost a lot of weight. Does the Emperor still come to your place frequently now?” “Don’t stay in school for the Emperor’s son all the time. It’s still serious there. You also need to understand Lord Wan’s heart.”

“This concubine doesn’t want to have a pair of people for the rest of my life. The emperor is the emperor of the common people in the world, not the emperor of this concubine alone.” Ji Zhu Hua answered with a neither humble nor arrogant tone. He inserted the hairpin of Yan Xia beside Ling Long’s ear and said, “I don’t know what you mean?” Your Majesty, the Emperor will listen to what you say. Otherwise, it will be useless if you keep on talking. Just like Concubine De, this matter is watched coldly from the sidelines. I did not interfere. You are a very capable person now. ” Linglong also looked up at Ji Zhuhua. I have no idea what Chicken, Pig, and Tiger mean today, Ji Zhuhua’s beautiful face approached Linglong. “I only thought that this matter was an ant shaking a tree, but I didn’t expect you to act so conveniently. Even Meixiang was used. Your thoughts are much more detailed than mine. However, Hundred Miles Must be a little thinner. You shouldn’t have let Yuan He survive. However, I have already helped you take care of it.”

Linglong’s face was full of sarcasm, “Said the Empress-Yuanhe?”

Ji Zhuhua reached out and covered his lips. The light blue peony embroidered on his sleeve seemed to immediately fly away. “Isn’t that so? This palace wants to tell you that you’ve done all these things well. However, you’re not ruthless enough. Sometimes, you need to do everything you can.”

Linglong nodded repeatedly.

Ji Zhu Hua Yin’s movements were like a breeze as she stood in front of Ling Long and said, “Everyone knows that this palace is a queen above ten thousand people. They only saw the bright side of this palace, and the other side is unknown to others. Do you understand? Sometimes, if you want to live for yourself, you have to cut off the lives of others, and even your closest relatives can be killed!” Ji Zhu Hua’s graceful figure landed in Ling Long’s eyes. Ling Long felt that her mood was extremely depressed for no reason. According to Ji Zhu Hua, everything was because she was not courageous enough. Her thoughts were as good as dust, but it was wrong to not be cruel enough.

“There is still a loophole in this matter. If Yuan He speaks, won’t he have something to deal with at that time?” As Ji Zhuhua spoke, he walked to Linglong. Linglong’s sweat dripped down her cheeks along the wind bun. Ji Zhuhua said, “You came to this palace to give you a cup of tea. Now look at you. It’s as if you’ve been wronged. You sweat so much.”

Linglong raised her eyes and looked at her delicate face, saying, “Your Highness said that this concubine is not merciless enough. She almost gave people an opportunity to take advantage of her.”

Ji Zhuhua stretched out his soft hand and tightly pinched Linglong’s wrist. “Grasping the handle is like me pinching Jieyu’s wrist now. Do you feel any pain?” Linglong didn’t feel much pain, but the feeling of being wrapped around by a snake was very sad. “It’s not sad, but it’s impossible to get rid of it.”

Ji Zhuhua’s little cherry mouth smiled and said, “That’s it, so don’t let anyone know what you’ve done. Concubine De is always difficult to deal with. Slowly, you’ll know that you can’t let a living person say something against you. Only then can you stand in an invincible position.” Ji Zhu Hua’s beautiful red lips were like dark ancient wells. Every time she said a word, her heart would heave up and down, and finally Ji Zhu Hua finished speaking.

Linglong stroked the two strands of hair on her cheeks, then picked up a cup of tea and drank a cup of tea personally delivered by Ji Zhuhua. Only then did she feel much more comfortable. Linglong did not say anything before today. It was Ji Zhuhua who had said a lot. Linglong sighed slightly.

Ji Zhuhua said, “You are tired today. Come to this palace and talk to you slowly in the future. Is the tea okay?”

‘”Tea is good tea. I have never tasted such delicate and soft tea with five different flavors. I will definitely go back and think about it carefully. Your Highness can rest assured.” Lin Lin nodded her head repeatedly as if she had regained her composure, “Tea is good tea. I have never tasted such delicate and soft tea.”

Linglong walked outside and saw the big red gorilla felt cloak beside Qin’er’s hand. She was no longer afraid. She put it on her shoulder and said, “Let’s go back.” Although Ji Zhuhua had said some things that he did not agree with, Linglong would still adjust her attitude towards life in the future according to Ji Zhuhua’s words. Ji Zhuhua’s words would only be spoken when he came over. Moreover, he had already given Linglong a sincere heart, so Linglong could only accept it.

Back in Yunluan Palace, Linglong’s mood had completely calmed down, so she had someone go find the green peony flower. Linglong used the small silver scissors to trim the flower branch that had slanted out of Bian Yi’s side, while thinking about what was on her mind. Linglong looked at it from afar and felt that it was very good. However, there was one flower branch that had opened. If there were more, it would be a miracle.

At this time, Qin’er said that Concubine De had come.

Linglong’s heartbeat accelerated. Concubine De rarely came here. What exactly did Concubine De come here for this time? Could it be that Concubine De already knew about Linglong’s visit to the Empress’ palace? Why did she come here?

Before she could figure it out, Concubine De had already arrived at the exquisite Cloud Phoenix Palace. Concubine De walked over wearing a plain white light dress and said, “Empress Jieyu, I’m here to see you.”

Look at her?

Linglong’s eyebrows were like willows as she welcomed Concubine De in. Concubine De followed behind her. Linglong let Concubine De sit at the top of the table and said, “The Empress is not in the palace reciting the Huayan Sutra right now. There must be something going on here. Why don’t you say it out loud?” Linglong’s tone was naturally not good at all.

Concubine Mude looked at Linglong with neither humility nor arrogance. Linglong’s head was full of pearls that shone with a dazzling light under the sunlight. Concubine De closed her eyes slightly and said, “Actually, I blamed you for that matter. I apologize to you.” “I thought that you arranged for Prince Tuoba to go to Zhenxi’s room. Later, I realized that everything was due to heaven’s will and not human resources, so I came here to apologize to you.” Imperial Concubine De’s bright red lips slightly rose. Indeed, it was an apologetic expression. Linglong did not know what medicine Imperial Concubine De had bought in her gourd. She looked at Imperial Concubine De and asked, “Is Imperial Concubine in a much better mood now?”

Suddenly, a piece of her heart was gone. It was impossible to say that she was in a good mood, but Linglong noticed that Concubine De’s face was not sad at all. She seemed to have a faint joy, as if she had seen through it. Could it be that the changing world really had no effect on a person who was devoted to Buddha?

Linglong was still worried, but after several times of observation, it seemed that Concubine De had already accepted it, and she didn’t have much of a bad mood.

However, Linglong looked at Concubine De’s eyes. Concubine De’s beautiful eyes were pure white and green. She looked at Linglong and said, “This time, I came to apologize to the Empress.”

Linglong hurriedly stood up and walked to Concubine De’s side, saying, “There’s no need for that. There’s no need to judge right and wrong. It’s not something that you and I can distort. As time goes on, the dirty water on my concubine’s body will naturally be washed away, right?”

Imperial Concubine De had a faint smile on her fair and smooth face. She reached into a wine cup in the hand of her attendant and took it over. “If Your Highness doesn’t dislike this palace, then please have a drink. It has been like this since ancient times. To apologize for a thorn in the bush naturally requires a little sincerity, Your Highness?”

Linglong looked back at the blue and white porcelain wine jug. There was a fear in his heart, This fear caused Linglong’s expression to change a lot. Linglong looked around. Fortunately, Li Sheng and Qin’er were busy beside them, A few Royal servant were also cleaning up the room at high speed, Only then did Linglong calm down a lot. Her face was clearly cold and her dark and deep eyes looked at Concubine De. She said, “Your Highness originally wanted to drink a cup or two of good wine. However, I can’t. I’m afraid I’m not good at drinking. It’s better not to drink. As long as I’m sincere, why bother with so many empty words?”

The liquor had already been poured out of the blue and white porcelain jug and poured into a small Nine Dragons Cup. The liquor had a fascinating color. Imperial Concubine De raised her glass and said, “Could it be that Concubine Jieyu thought that this palace came to be the Medicinal Zhenniao Empress? This palace does not have so many tricks and this palace is not so stupid? Isn’t this Empress worried?” “Seeing this palace drink a cup by itself, the Empress is always relieved, right?”

As she spoke, De Fei raised her wine cup to her lips and drank it all in one gulp. Only then did Ling Long walk to De Fei’s side and look at De Fei and ask, “Does Your Highness really not care about Princess Zhen Xi marrying into a foreign country?”

Imperial Concubine De’s long and slender black eyes seemed to have lost their brilliance. She opened her thin and pursed lips and said, “What’s the matter? All the women of the Tian Clan have such a fate. In the future, if you have an emperor, it will be the same. If it was a prince, it would be different, wouldn’t it?” “It’s over. Even if I feel uncomfortable in my heart, would Princess Zhenxi come back?” With a faint smile on her face, she stared at Linglong. “Let alone these things, just the red makeup you prepared for Princess Zhenxi is amazing, isn’t it?” “Your Highness, what other concerns do you have? It’s better to have a cup of wine in peace of mind.”

Once, Concubine De’s eyes were like eagles in the night. So arrogant and aloof, But now those emotions don’t seem to be around anymore, Linglong could not pinch Concubine De’s thoughts, but since Concubine De had already arrived, it meant that she did not care anymore. Linglong took the Nine Dragons Cup from Concubine De’s hand and poured the liquor into her own cup from the blue and white porcelain wine jug. She raised it high above her head and placed it between her lips.

This glass of wine was indeed fragrant. Linglong put the wine on her nose and sniffed it slightly. Concubine De’s expression was so calm and tranquil that she didn’t care if Linglong would drink it or not. Only then did Linglong feel completely relieved.
