The First Empress - Chapter 21
Chapter 21 Wrong Song
This morning, the Empress summoned Linglong again. Linglong hurriedly dressed up and was supported by Qin’er to Kun De Palace.
The Empress was also dressed brightly today. Seeing Linglong come in, she slightly tilted her head and said, “Coming?”
Linglong hurriedly saluted, “The Empress is blessed.”
The Empress stretched out her hand to support Linglong. She looked at Linglong and smiled, “It’s you who saved my heart. Now, Xin Chengyulu looks even more charming and lovely.” The Empress looked at Linglong with an expression of spring in her eyes.
Linglong lowered her head unnaturally and said hesitantly, “The Empress is used to teasing her concubines.”
The Empress smiled indifferently. “It’s not that I said these words. There should be two people in the palace. This is the proper thing to do. Since you’ve also come, I’m happy in my heart.”
Seeing that the Empress was leaving, Linglong said, He hurriedly supported her, Along with the empress’ shallow cacophony, she did not dare to agree to what Ji Zhuhua said just now. Instead, Ji Zhuhua smiled casually. “In the palace, the sisters have shown their good natures. It is much easier to not make so many evil ways out of this palace. Sister, you know that Concubine De is weak and sick.” Imperial concubine Shun’s temper is a crab without legs. This palace only hopes that you will be able to understand the general situation and have a chat with this palace in your spare time. ”
Every time she came to the Empress, the Empress would no longer put on airs. This was Linglong’s harvest. Knowing that the Empress wanted to be her friend, Linglong naturally smiled and nodded in agreement.
However, what the Empress said today was a bit too fantastic. First, she ran out of the silver pewter-like pillow of Concubine De, and then she said that Concubine Shun was unhappy. It was as if she wanted to make Bu Linglong fight against Third Concubine. Linglong had not remembered it for a long time before she smiled.
“The meaning of the Empress’ words is naturally far-fetched. Your concubines should always remember the Empress’ teachings.” Linglong replied while nodding slightly. The Empress stepped out of the corner door and smiled again, “It’s good that you know. Today, this palace recruited you to come here is not an idle conversation. Is Yu Pingxiao still playing?”
There was no trace of hostility in the Empress’ eyes. When talking to her, she was completely idle. Linglong was also obedient and cute. She immediately understood what the Empress meant. She nodded and said, “How dare I forget? I still know the principle of keeping my hands on my chest. In other words, I have to thank the Empress. If it wasn’t for the Empress, I would probably be one of the five blessings.” Thinking of the Empress pulling her out of the Red Pink Legion, Linglong was naturally happy. When she was in the hidden residence, she did not have any status. She did not expect that Zihua Palace would be thirty years old, and it would be thirty years old in the east and thirty years in the west.
“The daughter of the capital only knows how to do things. Furthermore, your father has taught you since you were young. This palace must have been brought up by fate. It is pleasing to the eye to see you at a glance. It is not easy for you to obtain things in this world. It is indeed easy to lose them. Sister, remember what this palace has to say.”
Bu Linglong looked at the Empress for a long time but did not get the Empress’s intentions. “The so-called’etiquette ‘is just that I was taught a lesson by my father when I was young. I can’t stand the graceful hall. The Empress is worried about it. But then again, the Empress wants me to come …” Bu Linglong looked at the Empress for a long time but did not get the Empress’s intentions.
When the Empress saw that Bu Linglong was also confused, she said, “As long as you don’t pretend to be jealous, I will be happy.” You are also talented and virtuous. The Emperor likes this kind of person. What kind of beautiful maidservant does the Imperial Palace have? The Emperor naturally likes you because he wants you to be obedient. Women should be like this. You just need to understand dance and music, but you still need to practice the Jade Ping Xiao properly. The Emperor’s birthday is in a few days. You must grasp the time. When the time comes, you can go on stage and play. ”
The Empress smiled faintly in midair and nodded her head, “I wonder if you know a song. The song created by an expert from the previous dynasty is called ‘Who Masters the Floating and Sinking’. If you remember, you should practice it properly.”
Linglong nodded obediently. However, the words he wanted to say still gave rise to a great deal of suspicion in his heart. This song was naturally known to Linglong, but this expert was not an expert from the outside world. He was a general who had been removed from military power in the previous dynasty. As he was full of worry and wanted to usurp the throne, he played such a song. If he played this on the birthday of the emperor, would it be a little disappointing?
However, Linglong managed to suppress her curiosity and nodded lightly.
“This palace knows that talented younger sister must have that rich knowledge. If you have time, go and practice.” As the Empress spoke, she looked at Linglong. She was afraid that Linglong would answer her question. She secretly held Linglong’s hand. Whether she could understand it or not was up to Linglong herself to experience it now.
Naturally, it was good for a woman to fall in love with her in order to consolidate her pet, but if she dialed the wrong number, it would also provoke her to anger. Linglong was naturally calculating carefully. The Empress looked a little tired. Linglong could only exchange a few words before returning to Yunluan Palace.
When Linglong returned to the palace, she had been thinking about it by herself. She didn’t know what the Empress meant. She couldn’t figure out what it meant to say that there was no need to help her and let her jump into the pit of fire.
Just as he was slowly thinking about it, the rumors outside said that Chen Chongyi had come.
Recently, Chen Chongyi was also a frequent guest here. After all, the main elegant guest came here frequently. Chen Chongyi also liked to come here. After all, it was very agreeable to talk to a woman that he had always known well. Chen Chongyi walked in and Linglong looked behind. Chen Chongyi knew what Linglong was looking at.
Rou Ya said in a flat tone, “Sister, what are you looking at? Your tail hasn’t come today.” Chen Chongyi’s pair of crystal-black eyes looked at Linglong with a bright smile. “Isn’t that so? The Emperor’s birthday next month is probably too busy. Bao Luo naturally also wants to dance in all directions when the time comes. After all, Bao Luo is not embarrassed in the palace, nor is it a long way to go.”
Seeing the obscurity in Chen Chongyi’s eyes that disappeared in a flash, Linglong immediately felt compassion for her and hurriedly held Chen Chongyi’s hand. “Sister Chongyi is also the same. What bad things do you say on a good day? Princess Baoluo has grown up so much. Even if the Emperor doesn’t care, you and I will help her. I’m not afraid of anything.”
After Chen Chongyi had given birth to her child, she already knew that it was already extremely difficult to consolidate her pet. On the one hand, she was already old and had not given birth to a prince. On the other hand, she probably no longer had any desire to compete for pet. Those were all considered to be fantasies.
Seeing Chen Chongyi come over, Linglong was also in a good mood. Naturally, she briefly mentioned what had happened in the morning. Chen Chongyu frowned slightly and felt that there was something strange about the Empress. Chen Chongyi also knew who was in charge of this song. Even if the Emperor liked to play it on his birthday, it would be very ominous.
As Linglong continued to speak, Chen Chongyi had already grasped Linglong’s wrist. “No one in the harem can believe it. Little sister, don’t let anyone accidentally make a raft.”
Even though Linglong was reluctant to think about the inherent laws, “The Empress is 25 years old this year. She is probably not with the Emperor. Sometimes, she can’t fathom the Emperor’s thoughts. My sister thinks about it herself. Why would the Emperor listen to that song? Isn’t it a paradox?”
Naturally, Linglong had already thought about it. It would not be good if there was a wave of unnecessary criticism at that time.
“Well, I’ve already thought about it. If it comes to music, my sister chose a few songs. They don’t seem to be declaring war and possessing a hint of congratulations. It’s probably not bad.” As Linglong spoke, she looked at Chen Chongyi and saw that Chen Chongyi was worried, as if she had something on her mind.
Linglong was knowledgeable and clever, so she naturally noticed it as well. She hurriedly asked, “I don’t know what big sister has to hide. It would be good to let little sister help big sister solve the problem by saying it out loud.”
Chen Chongyi forced a smile when she heard this. She covered her lips with a handkerchief and slightly rubbed her eyes. It was as if she was about to cry. “It’s not an unimportant matter. It’s just a self-injury.” This time, I heard that Lan Zhaoyuan has already trained hard in Hu Xuan Wu. Also, which one of the Tong Jia Clan and Ning Guta is good-looking? I’m afraid that they will be suppressed again when the time comes, so when will Baoluo have a chance to rise to prominence? ”
With that said, even Linglong felt a little self-wounded. If she had the same fate as Chen Chongyi at that time, it would not be good. It would be heaven’s luck to give birth to a pretense. If she had given birth to a princess, it would probably not be good either.
The women all hoped that they could marry a handsome young Ruyi Lang with a high official position, but who would want to live a lonely life in the palace? Hearing this, Linglong suppressed her pain and smiled comfortably, “The boat will naturally be straight ahead. Elder sister is already a mother. Are you afraid that there won’t be another day?”
Hearing this, Chen Chongyi could only smile and the two of them chatted nonchalantly before dissipating.
In the inner room, there was a ruckus in the daytime. Yun Ya of the Ningguta clan and Tong Jia clan also came to visit. These concubines used to disdain the Cloud Phoenix Palace. Ever since the Emperor had been lucky enough to come to Linglong, this place had become a massage lock.
Linglong couldn’t refuse again, so she didn’t have time to practice playing for a day. Seeing that time was getting closer and closer, Linglong also had a worried expression on her face.
“Little Lord is also very imposing. It is obvious that these people are here to test Little Lord. First, they want to see what Little Lord is practicing and also know the meaning of winning a hundred battles. Little Lord, don’t be so obedient and easy to talk to. Everyone is invited to the house.” Qin’er had already felt unfair for Linglong. Linglong smiled as if she was a good person. “Reaching out and not hitting the smiley-faced person, we are only sixth-grade talents. If anyone refuses to come, it would be unreasonable on the one hand, so that our noodles would probably be rumored to be arrogant and intolerant.”
Qin’er thought for a while and couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Linglong suddenly frowned and asked, “A few days ago, when we went to the forest garden, there was an empty hall called Cloud Hall. Have you paid attention to it?”
Qin’er also remembered Cloud Hall in a trance, but she didn’t know what Little Lord meant. Linglong smiled and said, “That place is quiet and soundproof. If you can go there to get in touch with the flute, it must be good. First, you can cut off the daily routine visits of these concubines. Second, you can learn it calmly.”
Most of the women in the outside world were able to immerse themselves in their boudoirs and fly through needles and threads. However, in the palace, the women of Zi Hua City had always needed to be taught the virtues of a woman. Even if they were free, they would still have to fall in love with a monarch. They couldn’t help but feel like humans. It was also rare for them to play a melodious tune. It was because of Linglong that they thought of it.
After all, Qin’er was a little worried. At this moment, Sheng came over and asked, “Does Little Lord also want to go to Cloud Hall?”
Linglong naturally knew that Li Sheng was a peculiarly intelligent woman. It was impossible for her to be able to carry and float in the palace for so long without two brushes. So he asked, “Isn’t it possible to go there as well?”
Li Sheng smiled innocently. Although the smile at the corner of his mouth was very faint, it could be seen that he was slightly hesitant. However, he lifted his lips and said, “Lord did not know that Cloud Hall was originally the main hall where the Emperor lived when he was young. It was only because the Emperor was not a Storage Lord when he was young that it was abandoned over time. When the Emperor came to live in the Dragon Region Hall after he was older, that place was also abandoned.”
Linglong Pingting stood up, “Then, can we go there or not?”
“It’s not that you can’t go,” Sheng said in a low voice. “It’s just that you’re afraid of breaking the taboo. There’s nothing wrong with going back. If you stay inside for too long, it’ll inevitably attract discussion.” ‘”Little Lord, you can think twice before you act,” Sheng said at a worship ceremony.
Yun Yi Palace could also be said to have no ears, no desk. It would naturally be great if he could go. If it didn’t pass, he would only be able to contact him for two hours in the future. There wouldn’t be any problems.
