The First Empress - Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Princess Yulai

Midsummer in the capital is probably longer than in other countries, Although it was already past autumn, it was still warm. Linglong had already recovered well. The two nurses assigned by the Empress had already come over. Linglong saw that the two nurses had also carefully asked for their names and left behind. One was called Mother Yun and the other was called Mother Su Huiniang.

Linglong handed Princess Yu Lai to the two wet nurses. The wet nurse hurriedly picked her up and coaxed the child. The child did not cry nor make a fuss. Linglong looked at her happily and said, “You guys work hard and I will reward you well. As long as you take good care of Princess Yu Lai, I am not a stingy person.”

The two wet nurses naturally could tell that Linglong was very generous. They happily hugged Princess Yu Lai and were afraid that something unexpected would happen. Linglong smiled and said, “You guys have to work hard. This palace is going to have lunch. Come and exchange for you.”

“Nanny, you can do as you please. This servant won’t be in the way.” The two wet nurses were naturally obedient. Linglong walked away. She looked at Ah Wen outside and said, “Take a good look at these two wet nurses.” Ah Wen nodded, “Could it be that the Empress still doesn’t trust the Empress?”

‘”You have been in the palace for many years. There are some things that this palace has told you. Let alone the Empress, sometimes this palace can’t even trust the Emperor. There are so many bird deaths here. It’s always good to be careful. It’s all thanks to you that I have to trouble you this time.” Linglong reached out and pinched Ah Wen’s wrist. Ah Wen nodded and said, “Your Highness, don’t worry. This servant is here to take care of you.”

Linglong walked away. Because of Linglong’s pregnancy, the Imperial Cuisine Room was filled with porridge filled with all kinds of medicinal ingredients every day. There is the old ginseng soup stewed in black chicken, wolfberry qiang hu soup, everything is big tonic, qin’er after helping Linglong try the dishes, Linglong sat up to eat, after dinner, Linglong still warned Qin’er to pay attention to the two wet nurses, then called the wet nurse.

Naturally, the wet nurse needed a good diet. Otherwise, the little princess’ body would not be able to keep up with the nutrition. Therefore, Huiqi had prepared a good meal for the two wet nurses here.

The wet nurse did not have any problems. She coaxed Princess Yu Lai into being happy. Linglong had put down a lot of her guard recently. The so-called spring and autumn exhaustion made Linglong feel even more distracted in the long autumn. A heavy and gentle wind blew in through the window lattice. Linglong felt comfortable and fell asleep.

Feng’er was like a pair of warm hands sweeping past Linglong’s body, her elegant hair and her fair face. Qin’er covered Linglong with a single garment and Linglong fell asleep quietly.

She didn’t know when, but Linglong suddenly woke up from her shock. She was still delirious in her dream-“Hurry up and ask Ah Huo to bring Yu Lai back. Hurry up …”

Qin’er hurriedly pushed Linglong, then Linglong woke up and turned around. “Concubine, what kind of nightmare are you having? It’s only half an incense stick of time, Your Highness.” Qin’er handed Linglong a handkerchief. Linglong slowly wiped her face and said, “Where is Princess Yu Lai? Let me have a look.” When Qin’er arrived at the side hall, she brought Nanny and Princess Yu Lai over. Nanny bowed slightly and waved her hand, “There’s no need to be too courteous. In the future, if you can avoid it, there won’t be a single drop left. In this way, you can carefully fall on Yu Lai.”

Seeing that Yu Lai was fine, Linglong hugged her affectionately for a while and then handed her to Nanny Yun. Nanny Yun smiled as she held Linglong and paced around the room. At this time, Ah Wen asked, “What did Concubine dream of just now? I thought there was an assassin here when I heard Concubine calling out to servant.”

Linglong’s pink petal-like face shone brightly as she said, “First, I dreamed of a group of snakes. Then, I dreamed that the stable woman, Princess Zhang, took Princess Yu Lai away when she gave birth that day. She cried out anxiously. There was nothing wrong with that, but you were scared.”

Ah Xing smiled and said, “If anyone has any ideas about Princess Yu Lai, this servant will definitely be the first to forgive them. This servant knows that there are many ways to punish people. It’s good that Your Highness can rest assured about this. When the time comes, you can ask Commander Jiang to come over. The means of the Ministry of Justice will only be more than this servant’s, no less than this servant’s.”

“Dong–”

Something fell on the ground. Linglong Yuqin’er and Ah Ao looked over at the same time. Mother Yun trembled and picked it up. It turned out that the coral bead on Mother Yun’s head fell to the ground.

Before Linglong could notice this, Eunuch Lu had already come in. Seeing that Eunuch Lu had the Golden Book Dao Talisman in his hand, Linglong smiled happily and said, “It’s not even a hundred days yet. I’ve come so quickly. Thank you, Eunuch.” Eunuch Lu announced the process and date of the Conferred Seal Ceremony. Linglong caught the Golden Book Dao Talisman and thanked him for his kindness. Eunuch Lu then went. Because it was the Conferred Seal Ceremony, the Emperor gave the order earlier. Linglong needed to make better arrangements.

The conferment ceremony was naturally held in the Qixia Palace, and preparations had already begun on this side in less than a hundred days.

It was easy to arrive at the Hundred Day Ceremony. Huiqi Yu drove over elegantly. The concubines were Xia Guan Jiang Yue Xiao, Zhu Pei, and Xing Lian. A group of people walked in. Linglong’s eyes were sharp as she saw Concubine De and Lan Sou Yu walk in. The two of them walked over one after the other, chatting and laughing. Behind them were Concubine Gu, Ning Yan Liu, and Chen Chong Yi. Linglong had already welcomed them and stood in front of Concubine Mu and Lan Sou Yu. “Concubine De and Concubine Zhao Yuan have also come over. I thank you for coming.”

Imperial Concubine De smiled kindly and said, “Isn’t it too polite to say this? This palace has always shared weal and woe with the Empress. Now that the Empress has a princess, she will feel even more sympathetic towards this palace in the future. At that time, Empress Jie will understand this palace. This palace is very happy to see the crocodiles in her child’s heart.”

Lan Shuyu covered her lips and smiled. “Your Majesty’s fate is very good, “I’m not like others. I came here to take a look at Princess Yu Lai, who is innately deficient. Secondly, I came to take a look at the imperial concubine, who died with great difficulty. This imperial concubine’s complexion is quite good. In the future, just tell this imperial concubine what is lacking. Your Majesty is here with the Japanese family. This imperial concubine will blow the pillow wind.”

Linglong smiled and said, “Thank you for being so righteous. Please come inside. Today can be considered as the host of this palace. The two of you will remember today well. The reason why this palace was able to survive, including today’s rise in height, is all because of the promotion and enticement of the two of you.” Linglong smiled and sent Concubine De and Lan Sou Yu to the guests’ seats.

At this time, he walked to Chen Chongyi and Gu Yifei’s side. The three of them naturally had a lot in common, Not long after, Princess Bao Luo’s crocodile came over and hugged Princess Yu Lai lovingly. Princess Bao Luo also liked how pretty this little sister was. Ling Long saw that everyone was here, but Huiqi and Ji Zhuhua hadn’t come yet. She was afraid that there would be chaos, so she hurriedly instructed people to invite the two High Gods over to host the ceremony.

Ji Zhuhua was also slightly shocked when he arrived at Qixia Palace. She did not expect that Concubine De and Lan Sou Yu would also come. He smiled and nodded, Perrin followed. Ji Zhuhua handed over an exquisite nanmu box in his hand. “This is a hundred-day gift prepared by this palace for Princess Yu Lai. The ancients said that it is better to give jade to both boys and girls in our palace. This piece of Heshi Jade is from the previous dynasty. This piece of jade Ruyi means peace and contentment. Empress Zhaoyi should keep it for Princess Yu Lai.”

Linglong hurriedly knelt down and put away the gift, saying, “Thank you, Your Highness. When Princess Yu Lai grows up, she will be able to spit out words. This concubine will definitely let her thank Your Highness for keeping this concubine safe. Princess Yu Lai’s safety in the future will require Your Highness to take good care of it. That is Princess Yu Lai’s good fortune.”

Ji Zhuhua reached out to touch Yu Lai’s face and said, “Although she is a Xiantian deficiency, fortunately, all the concubines will take good care of her. Sister Zhao Yi, don’t worry.”

Linglong bowed and nodded.

Seeing that Ji Zhuhua had given him something, The other concubines also sent gifts, Just as Ji Zhuhua said, Jade was popular in the palace, In less than a moment, On the other hand, the exquisite Qixia Palace was almost impervious to the wind. At this time, Huiqi had just arrived. He was very happy when he heard the noise from afar. He walked over and hugged Princess Yu Lai. He laughed loudly and said, “You are an extremely fortunate woman. There are so many concubines who love you before you reach adulthood. When you grow up, you will naturally be even more glorious and wealthy. I am very happy. I will confer you the title.”

As she spoke, she waved her hand. Eunuch Lu had already begun to bring over the imperial edict. After uncovering it and reading it, Linglong’s heart calmed down. Although it was a false story, with such a process, the princess would be valued by others. It could be considered quite good.

Linglong happily put away all the gifts. Some of the concubines couldn’t wait any longer, They left in groups, Huiqi also left because there were still matters to attend to in the previous dynasty, At this time, De Fei and Lan Sou Yu walked past Ling Long. Concubine De said, “Your Highness is blessed, But the princess looked smaller, How could he know that it wasn’t because the Empress had done too many things that caused her to lose heart? “Your Highness still needs to read the Buddhist scriptures properly. Learning to nurture her Qi is good. This princess’s fate is already very difficult. Even if Your Highness is able to protect her well, I will let her marry into an illusory place when she grows up. Don’t worry, Your Highness, I will definitely not disappoint Your Highness.”

Linglong nodded and said, “Then this palace will wait.”

Lan Sou Yu smiled faintly and said, “This palace will not harm anyone. It’s good that Your Highness can rest assured.”

Linglong smiled and pursed her lips. “That’s good. This palace likes people who don’t hurt people by hidden arrows. If you hurt people by hidden arrows, this palace will be very clever. At that time, if Your Majesty needs one and a half moves, this palace will really like to be your master.” Linglong smiled as she spoke. Lan Sou Yu and De Fei walked down the stairs in a few steps and went far away.

Linglong returned to the inner hall, but Ji Zhuhua still hadn’t left. He looked at Linglong and said, “Don’t speak so quickly. Are you worried that I’m here to protect the little princess?” Linglong nodded her head repeatedly. “This concubine is naturally at ease. Your Highness’ righteous concubine is extremely grateful.”

Ji Zhuhua stood up and said, “Keep an eye on the palace. All the concubines have one eye. This is called the Eye of Wisdom. Do you understand what I mean?”

Linglong nodded repeatedly and said, “Naturally, I understand.”
