The First Empress - Chapter 20
Chapter 20 Split Silk
Deep into the night, in Yunluan Palace.
Lights flashed and the bright moon floated in the sky, merging the charming beauty of Cloud Phoenix Hall into a faint light. The room was lit with a quiet ambergris, and the fragrance was endlessly scattered in the air.
Bu Linglong raised her eyebrows, “Your Majesty, this concubine” However, she did not know what to say. After all, this was the first time she had waited on someone to sleep. Although she understood the process, she still had an unprecedented feeling in her heart. She could not say whether it was excitement, confusion, or something else. When she saw the Emperor slowly undress, she felt a bit of fear and embarrassment.
Huiqi smiled and stretched out his hand, “Come here and let me have a good look at you.”
Bu Linglong restrained her usual smile and looked at Hui Qi seriously. “Your Majesty, this is the first time I’ve served you. If there’s anything wrong, Your Majesty, please forgive me. I’ll be fine in the future,” she said.
Huiqi said patiently, “Today, you are a meritorious hero. Why would I blame you? However, I never thought that you would be so smart. When did I think that there would be musk in the flower pot?”
Hearing this, Bu Linglong snuggled into Hui Qi’s embrace and slowly said, “Originally, I was unable to discover it. Heaven’s will dictates it. This concubine had a strange fragrance of flowers in the first servant bedroom hall. It was because this concubine had kept an extra eye on her. I didn’t expect that she would actually discover a shocking secret like this.”
The Emperor smiled and said, “I’m tired of watching the women in the palace fight in secret. It was you who discovered it earlier. Otherwise, I really didn’t know that the old concubine would actually harbor such evil intentions. It’s all thanks to you, if it was someone else.”
The Emperor was naturally suspicious, but he still forcibly stopped his last sentence. If he said it out loud, it would naturally be a disaster. “If it was someone else, I would also be suspicious.”
Knowing that Huiqi was in a bad mood, Bu Linglong said, “Let this concubine serve the Emperor to rest.”
Huiqi couldn’t help but laugh, “Can you?”
Bu Linglong’s cheeks couldn’t help but burn, and her heart was beating wildly. “Aunt Li Sheng has already given birth, so I guess I will.”
“Naturally, Sheng is not bad. I presume that strict teachers make good disciples, and you are not bad either.” Hui Qi said as he lay on the couch.
Bu Linglong took out all three thousand strands of green silk from Huiqi’s hair crown and placed her butterfly hairpin on the red sandalwood. Huiqi stretched out her hand and held a strand of green silk on her chest in her hand. “It’s inevitable that I will be nervous for the first time. I will be a little softer.”
The face of Bo Shi Fen Dai turned a little red, “Your Majesty, just enjoy yourself …”
Huiqi looked at Bu Linglong’s faintly red cheeks and smiled before pressing down on her.
It hurts, it hurts sincerely, She used to think it wouldn’t hurt so much, However, it was only now that she realized that Li Sheng was not lying. According to Li Sheng’s teachings, she only needed to cater. With the noisy impact of the spring water, she felt as if she had been cut in half by someone with scissors in a place that she was ashamed to speak of. She felt no pleasure at all. It was just a kind of oppressive pain.
After a while, the twitching sensation became even more intense. She wrapped herself around Huiqi and did not say a word. She just quietly hugged Huiqi. She was already eighteen years old this year and finally had her first fortune. Linglong slowly closed her eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, Huiqi stopped moving. She gasped in embarrassment, “Your Majesty, from now on, Your Majesty will often come to this concubine’s place.” As Huiqi reached out and stroked her hair, he said faintly, “I will naturally come.”
It wasn’t that dawn suddenly appeared outside the window, but there was a bright moonlight. His eyes seemed to be a little lonely. It was the kind of loneliness that ordinary people couldn’t easily detect. Bu Linglong smiled and asked, “I wonder what the Emperor is thinking? Why are you so worried? Is it because of what happened to Consort Shao just now?”
Huiqi slowly hugged Bu Linglong, and the two of them slowly hugged each other on the brocade mattress, separated by a coffee table. There was a faint fragrance in the air, just like the fragrance of an orchid. Seeing that there was no anger on her face, Bu Linglong could not help but slowly relax.
Huiqi’s deep eyes met Linglong’s. “This is not because of this matter. It’s just that I thought of something else. Actually, I’m not an outsider.” Huiqi’s voice sounded gentle. Bu Linglong suddenly stroked Huiqi’s palm. “So, is this concubine an outsider or something?”
Huiqi smiled at ease. He held her hand tightly and stroked her hair. “Of course you’re not an outsider. Then I’ll tell you.”
“Your servants and concubines are all ears.” She excitedly planned to listen to the secrets of the Emperor’s family. Naturally, these things were not “insignificant to outsiders”, but there were many things that she did not have the chance to hear. Perhaps only Ji Zhuhua and Bu Linglong could truly “listen respectfully”.
“Imperial concubine Shao, as you can see, you have always lacked respect for me as an emperor. When the first emperor was here, I opened one eye and closed the other. Now that I have been bullied on my head, I can’t bear it anymore! There is quite a bit of ambiguity in my ascension to the throne, and I hate these people to talk about it the most.” Huiqi fiercely clenched her fists. Bu Linglong seemed to feel the aura coming from Huiqi. It was a aura that countless soldiers would lower their heads in front of her.
Linglong said affectionately, “Why should the emperor’s body be angry over these old things? He was so angry that he was so angry.”
Linglong seemed to have sensed a trace of a smile on Huiqi’s face. That smile was cruel and cold, like a piece of broken glass. “If anyone in my Yellow Diagram Overlord’s business obstructs me, their closest relatives can also be killed.” Bu Linglong felt extremely scared, but at the same time, she felt that the Emperor really believed in her, and that she absolutely trusted that she would not say anything else.
Bu Linglong had heard that his highness had been involved in a battle for the throne when he was in the hidden mansion, but she never expected that there would be so many twists and turns in it, including Consort Shao, who was originally from the Huiye Party. However, she never expected that Huiqi would kill the empress of the current dynasty. Naturally, such an indifferent person would not let her off. .
Originally, they were safe and sound, but Concubine Shao just couldn’t let go of all the things from before. She finally made her move, but halfway through, she was discovered by Bu Linglong.
Huiqi said casually, “Linglong, do you think I’m a little too ruthless?”
Bu Linglong lowered her head and sucked in a breath of cold air. “The nine dragons are different. This concubine does not dare to speak rashly. However, this concubine knows that virtue resides in the world. Regardless of good or bad, this concubine believes that the Emperor must be a wise king.”
The Emperor nodded in approval, “Actually, the Heavenly Duke really knows how to play tricks on people. I had long thought that this day would come. However, I never thought that my eyes would be so good. You are worthy of being the daughter compiled by the Academy. Not bad.”
“Your Majesty has praised me too much. I am just a person of one plant and one tree. Nothing is worth mentioning.” The two of them couldn’t help but look at each other and laugh. The Emperor’s hands tightened. “It was a reasonable family that came out. It was different from the daughters of those officials. I’m very happy.”
Linglong’s cherry lips curled up slightly. She felt Huiqi’s embrace again, so she closed her eyes. This time, she was naturally not that scared because of her experience. After a while, he climbed down from her. “I will come here often in the future. Don’t tell outsiders what I told you anymore.”
“This concubine knows. Your Majesty, don’t worry.” Linglong smiled and said. She felt an indescribable pain in a hidden part of her body …

“Shaling, look at the moonlight tonight. It’s a pity that I didn’t discover that conspiracy. Otherwise, it would be good.” Before Lan Shuyu could fall asleep, naturally, the maidservant Shaling was also accompanying her master.
Hongyan did not show any kindness and sat leaning against the cage until she was bright, which was probably what she looked like tonight.
As Sha Ling nodded her head in agreement, she poured a cup of tea for Lan Sou Yu and said, “Your Highness, drink some water. It’s hot. Drinking it will warm your heart.”
From ancient times until now, it was not uncommon for many women to marry into the Tian Clan relying on their own beauty in such a prominent Dali Dynasty. Only the Lan Clan had to do this because of their nobles. Lan Sou Yu smiled and said, “What do you think of the Emperor’s attitude today?”
“It can be seen that the Empress is thinking too much. The Emperor is still the same as before. However, there are still benefits if she doesn’t come.” Shaling’s heart was filled with worry. Finally, he said hesitantly, “Your Highness also knows that climbing high will cause heavy losses. In the past few days, Lord and the concubines in the palaces have already complained quite a bit. There are naturally good and bad reasons for specializing in pets. Your Highness is a smart person. It’s not hard to imagine the logic behind this.”
That’s also true. How many women in the He Palace would not be able to wait for the Emperor’s fortune even if they waited for Fa Cang Yi to shake their teeth. They could already be considered contented, right?
Could it be that he couldn’t stand to be left out by the slightest bit?
Naturally, Lan Shuyu was not someone who hurt spring and autumn. Looking at the first crescent moon outside the window, she sighed faintly, “Did you say that today’s matter was already planned or that Concubine Bu was really smart?”
‘”Don’t tell me you still don’t understand this? It’s just good luck. Bu Cai isn’t astonishing. How can he compete with your golden body? But after this incident, your Highness will be able to experience something from it.”
Naturally, Lan Sou Yu knew what she needed to experience. It was just that Bu Ling Long was protected by the Empress. However, she was not afraid of the Empress. The Empress was already twenty-five years old. In the Imperial Palace, if a twenty-five-year-old woman wanted to have long hair, she would be joking.
Naturally, she would not put the Empress in her eyes.
