The First Empress - Chapter 219

Chapter 219 Beijing Chaos
Because of Princess Yu Lai spitting out milk, Ling Long paid more attention to her daily necessities and did not dare to feel any danger. Nurse Yun Niang and Sun Huiniang followed closely behind Princess Ling Long and Princess Yu Lai.

Over the past few days, Linglong’s body had gradually recovered, and she had to go to school for the Emperor’s son again. Last time, Huiqi came over to praise Linglong, “The Jade Peach Heavenly Planting and Dew, is not the number of ordinary flowers.” Linglong couldn’t swallow the bitterness in her heart. She suddenly remembered the phrase “I wish I wasn’t in the Imperial Clan forever”. She suddenly remembered Xie Yunxiao’s smiling face. Xie Yunxiao stood under the Yu Ying Flower Tree and stretched out his hand to Linglong. “Now it’s Lock Jin Ou. The Imperial Palace is heavily guarded, but if you want to leave, I will still take you away.”

Linglong had waved her hand to reject Xie Yunxiao countless times. However, she knew that she had already taken this step. There was no reason for her to stop. Even if she stopped, there was no reason for her to do so. Moreover, she wanted to keep the tree calm and the wind would not stop.

Linglong arranged for Princess Yu Lai to let Qin’er and A’wen take good care of her, and she brought Sheng to school for the Emperor’s son with her.

Light cold, drizzling rain, Sheng put on a big red gorilla felt cloak for Linglong. The two of them arrived outside school for the Emperor’s son. After the communication, Eunuch Lu quickly returned and waved his fly whisk to welcome Linglong inside.

“You’re here?” Huiqi didn’t know if he wanted more or more. There was an indescribable sense of disappointment. His eyes were filled with desire and appeal. Linglong nodded and said, “The Emperor seems to have been much busier recently. I want to share it with the Emperor, but I don’t have any ideas. I probably failed the Emperor’s high hopes.”

Linglong stood there like a jade peach planted in the sky and dew. Huiqi said, “Come and take a look.” When Linglong got to the front, Huiqi said, “The Seven Kings are starting to provoke us again. Originally, they were just casually playing a side ball at the border. Now, Yancheng City has been broken by him. Their army is well-organized, and it’s like a bamboo shattering bamboo. It’s really hateful to eat our rivers and mountains bit by bit.”

Linglong nodded and said thoughtfully, “Yancheng is on the other side of Yunnan. As the saying goes, the mountains are high and the emperors are far away. The Emperor naturally cannot take care of it. Does the Emperor still have the strength to dispatch troops over?”

Huiqi held a string of South Pearls in his hand and tried his best to suppress it. The pearls made a crisp sound on the table. “It would be great if there was a possibility of mobilizing troops and generals. It’s really a national weakness. Besides, it’s impossible to not offend the people along the way. Yunnan has a lot of miasma. Naturally, you can’t act rashly. This …”

“The disturbance is in Yancheng City? Are there no other places?” Linglong had obviously started to think carefully and asked the core of the question in a single sentence.

Huiqi nodded and said, “Right now, I’m only in Yan City.”

“The city is so desolate that it doesn’t have enough teeth. Your Majesty, don’t be anxious. You can attack from afar.” Linglong said. Huiqi looked at Linglong and said, “What is it-attacking from afar?”

“Has Prince Tuoba forgotten?” Linglong reminded Huiqi, Tuoba Rui’s grassland is relatively close to Dali, Yunnan. If Tuoba Rui were to go, it would naturally be easy to conquer. Huiqi frowned and said, “When Tuoba Rui married Zhenxi last time, I was too constrained. I’m afraid … I’m afraid that he won’t really agree to me or join forces with Seventh Prince. Isn’t that even worse?”

Linglong smiled at Huiqi and said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. Your Majesty and Prince Tuoba still have some friendship. As for the possibility of joining forces, the tribes on the grasslands are different from the Central Plains. They won’t trust the people of the Central Plains.” At this point, he nodded slightly. “However, this concubine must have a way to get Tuoba Rui to send troops. It’s good that the Emperor is at ease.”

“Alright, I have you as if I have hurried. I am naturally at ease.” As he spoke, Huiqi held Nan Zhu back in his hand. “How is Princess Yu Lai recently?” Linglong walked to the imperial desk, opened the paper and wrote a letter, saying, “It’s just that the teacher spat out milk, and the concubine let the imperial physician see her. She said that she had overnourished herself. It seems like this, the concubine has already ended.”

“You can’t pull out your seedlings and help you grow. However, Yu Lai’s congenital deficiency from childhood naturally requires good nutrition.” After Huiqi finished speaking, he glanced at Linglong’s letter. Linglong had already finished writing everything. She handed it to Huiqi. Huiqi smiled and frowned. His entire body was full of energy and energy. “Alright, Tuoba Rui can’t refuse such a book.”

Linglong could only nod her head and say, “I just caught seven inches.” Linglong casually talked about sending his troops in the cultivation book, and then said that if they didn’t send their troops, they would let Zhen Xi come back. Tuoba Rui was naturally afraid. Linglong also said the benefits of sending troops, so that they could rest easy. This could be considered as a favor.

Huiqi packed the letter and sent it outside. “Eunuch Lu, be careful. Don’t let anyone cut it halfway.”

Only then did Linglong become free. She was in a hurry just now. She had already put the fallen flowers on her clothes. The petals were wrapped in green silk. Huiqi helped Linglong take the broken flowers out of her hair bit by bit and said, “I will come over to see Princess Yu Lai tonight. You are tired, but you should leave early.”

Linglong’s heart ached. It turned out that he was going to be dismissed like this, After dealing with the matter, she seemed to be useless. She needed to “kneel down” so quickly. Linglong did not know what she was thinking, but that sour and disappointed feeling was like a jointed vegetation. She grew all the way and finally Linglong forced a smile and said, “Then this concubine will leave.”

Because of the imperial affairs, Huiqi had already been in a state of chaos. It had been a long time since she had come to see Princess Yu Lai. Although Linglong had always tried her best to convince herself that Huiqi was the ruler of the world and could not be with her anywhere, Linglong was still unable to do so. She could not pretend that nothing had happened.

In fact, Linglong felt that Princess Yu Lai’s arrival was something that Huiqi had already planned beforehand. It had nothing to do with her at all. She just had to live her own life logically. However, Linglong suddenly felt a deep disgust towards this kind of cronyism and the open and secret struggle between the harem. This was the first time Linglong had the thought of leaving this place …

Linglong walked out of school for the Emperor’s son and stood by the stream. The picturesque scenery of the lake and mountains and the beauty were reflected in the waves, but no one came to admire them. Linglong raised her foot and was about to walk away when Eunuch Lu hurriedly ran over. Seeing Eunuch Lu coming over, Linglong stood firm and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Eunuch Lu said, “The Emperor suddenly remembered something and asked the Empress not to leave for the time being.”

The drizzle was as cold as smoke. Linglong looked back at school for the Emperor’s son and then went inside. Fortunately, she didn’t go far or else she would get caught in the rain. When Huiqi saw Linglong walk in, he said, “When the children in the palace were two months old, they used to hold feasts in February. Princess Yu Lai …”

“Your Majesty,” said Linglong Yingying, taking two steps forward, “there’s no need. Princess Yu Lai’s body is no better than others. I’m afraid this is not beneficial. Besides, the banquet is just for fun and noisy. There’s no peace between the left and right. Besides, there was a banquet in a hundred days, so it’s better to let it go now.”

Huiqi looked at Linglong. Linglong was dressed very beautifully today. Only then did he realize that he hadn’t noticed what Linglong was wearing when she came in just now. Now that he saw it, he couldn’t help but feel a little guilty, She reached out and held Linglong in her arms. “I know that you blame me for not treating you well. I sometimes blame myself, but I am not an ordinary merchant. The lives of men and women are naturally not yours. I am also helpless. I am only willing to let Princess Yu Lai grow up safely. You can handle the banquet yourself,” he whispered. When the time comes, you can talk to Han Xiuyi and the Internal Affairs Department. If you lack anything, just go get it. ”

Linglong nodded. This hundred-day banquet wasn’t really a hundred-day banquet. In fact, it didn’t matter to Linglong whether it was hosted or not. However, Huiqi had already reached this point, so she could only nod in agreement. After a while, Linglong and Huiqi chatted for a while, and then each of them dispersed.

Linglong walked out of school for the Emperor’s son. The ground was already covered in a thousand miles of magenta. It was as if there was a fine and tidy carpet on the ground, and it was as if there was a wisp of miserable pink clouds on the horizon.

Li Sheng asked, “What do you think of the banquet?”

Linglong didn’t know what to say. She looked at the rain outside and said, “What do you think?”

“When it comes to the Hundred Days Banquet, there was indeed a Hundred Days Banquet in the Imperial Palace. Two hundred days is still called the Hundred Days Banquet. However, the Emperor suddenly told the Empress that this servant did not understand. Perhaps the Emperor loves the Empress very much.” A gentle petal fell from the sky. Linglong walked over silently and stepped on it.

“Don’t you see anything else? This is not because he dotes on Ben Gong, but because he wants Ben Gong to protect this secret for him. He can’t be careless and say it out loud. Also, “Ling Long looked at the rain of flowers in the sky and suddenly felt extremely sour.” Also, this is because of the reward I got for helping him plan. He doesn’t owe Ben Gong anything like this, so he’s cleared up. ”

Li Sheng sighed slightly and said, “Looks like the Emperor gave the idea to the Empress. As for whether the Empress can do it or not, it’s all up to the Empress.”

Linglong nodded and forcefully suppressed the bitterness in her heart. She said, “This palace still needs to carefully consider these matters. We can’t act too hastily. The harem is not calm now. If the banquet is held by then, there will naturally be many people and a lot of things will become more chaotic.”

Li Sheng nodded and said, “It’s good that you can rest assured. When the time comes, you can ask the Empress to help us organize the banquet properly.”

There were fallen flowers on the horizon. Linglong reached out to catch them. The faint imperial concubine-colored flower condensed in her palm like a piece of charcoal condensed in her palm. Naturally, Linglong was unhappy. She said, “When did you … love vanity so much?”

Li Sheng sighed and said, “Why does servant love vanity? It’s just a long-term solution. After this banquet is held, everyone will know that you have the Empress to support you from beginning to end. Perhaps it’s also because of the Emperor’s intention.”

After thinking for a while, Linglong felt that something was wrong, but she didn’t figure out what was wrong.
