The First Empress - Chapter 22
Chapter 22 Where Can Tianya Find a Bosom Friend
The autumn light was overlapping and overlapping. The ground was filled with flowers that had bloomed and fallen. A layer of colorful flowers fell. Linglong Yuqin’er walked up the forest garden. The colorful flowers in spring had already turned into mud, just like the fate of harem women. The leaves were also sparse, no longer as vigorous and luxuriant as before.
The two of them walked back and forth to the well-branched Upper Forest Garden. From afar, they could see Cloud Hall. The hall was dull. It seemed like it had not been cleaned for a long time. Qin’er walked into the main hall and cleaned up first.
She didn’t expect to meet Lan Zhaoyuan while waiting for Qin’er. Lan Sou Yu and Sha Ling had just walked over from the Upper Forest Garden. Qiu Guang happened to be walking back and forth to the fork in the road. Originally, she had walked straight back, but her gaze swept over her slightly.
That beautiful jade-like cheek was extremely beautiful under the autumn sun. Even the sexuals couldn’t help but look at it a few more times. She was like a peony blossoming in the sky and stood in front of her gracefully.
Her smooth skin was as beautiful as a shell-shelled egg in the air. Looking at Bu Linglong, who was slightly shabby, she sneered, “I was mistaken for a maidservant in some palace. It was probably my sister who came here to take a walk.”
Bu Linglong hadn’t learned how to put on a face yet, but she was a little stupefied. According to common sense, people had to bow to Zhaoyuan. Linglong didn’t bow humbly and arrogantly, so she smiled. “It was a walk. There’s no need to ruin the mood for bad things. Sister, is this?”
Linglong saw the clothes on her body. It was the kind of silk dress that only dancers would have. Because it was thick and didn’t seem to be transparent, it was probably something that only people on the plug would have. Linglong stepped on it for eight to nine times. Lan Sou Yu raised her jaw slightly and smiled arrogantly. “Hu Xuan Wu, have you ever heard of it?” Hongxiu’s fragrant appearance was a little amiable, but her expression warned everyone not to get close to her.
Those dressed in florid attire and dainty fragrance were lowering their status. Their bodies were covered in wreaths and the bronze bells were ringing. They were not elegant at all. Looking at her fragrant appearance, Linglong smiled-“Hu Xuan Wu, I’ve heard a little.”
‘”I’m sure you haven’t seen it before. Hu Xuanwu originally came out of her moustache. You’ll know when the time comes. Even though she’s the daughter of the Academy, she might not have seen it before, right?” Lan Sou Yu’s pink-makeup jade-cut face was a little mocking. The jade muscles. Slowly approaching Linglong, Linglong instinctively took two steps back. The smell of Lan Xungui Fu at her nose made Linglong want to open up a little more.
‘”To obtain the Sacred Heart, you can’t do it overnight. Hu Xuanwu needs to practice hard day in and day out. It’s not like flute or flute music, which is played every time you get it. Don’t be mistaken, sister. When the time comes, let sister get there first.” After saying that, he sneered twice and walked away with Shaling. He had already walked a long distance, as if he could still smell the fragrance of embroidered shoes.
She didn’t know when Qin’er had already stood beside Linglong. “Look at how the fox seduces the master. Where did he get the messy rumors? When it comes to the Hu Xianwu master, he’s the expert. He’s just playing tricks on himself. He’s stupid to the point of being stupid, isn’t he?”
Linglong reached out and covered her mouth. “I don’t dare to talk about it anymore. No matter what, she is still the master. Let’s just straighten ourselves out. Why bother talking about this?”
Qin’er hurriedly kept silent. Naturally, she knew about it in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace. Sometimes, calamity would come out of her mouth, and it would be too late to save her.
The forest was filled with a sense of grief and grief. Linglong watched the figure walk away before she let out a faint breath. When it came to Hu Xuanwu, she was really an expert. Her father had taught her poetry, books, rituals and music since childhood. Not to mention these dances, even the dances that had disappeared from the previous dynasty could be danced by herself.
Qin’er naturally remembered that in the inner courtyard of the Deep Palace, she had also danced in the bedroom hall. That kind of charm was something that ordinary people could not imitate at all. There were many things in this world that were born with, so there was no need for them to be supplemented.
“However, Lord’s Hu Xuan dance is really not bad. Servant has seen all kinds of dances before. Speaking of Lord’s dance, it is absolutely amazing.” Hearing this, Linglong smiled sadly and the two of them entered the room together.
The room was quite spacious and bright. Other than some simple and elegant furniture, it had been cleaned clean by Qin’er. When the dust particles in the air fell to the ground, Qin’er closed the window.
Outside the river, there was a lush bamboo. The wind blew past the bamboo and cast a dark shadow on the window lattice. The strong autumn sun was covered outside. Linglong took out the jade flute from her hand and placed her cherry lips on the jade flute.
There was also a bit of confusion in his heart. He inadvertently played the previous dynasty’s song “Who Masters the Floating and Sinking?” This music contained a lot of obvious domineering aura, but whenever it was played, it was a bit uncomfortable, as if some kind of saber soldier was about to move. Even Qin’er frowned. “Little Lord, I have never heard this song before. Little Lord, it’s better not to play it. Qin’er feels that it’s not good to listen to.” A maidservant’s thoughts were unpleasant to listen to, and Linglong naturally knew that once she received it, the vegetation would be sad and the heavens and earth would change color. The Emperor would not like it.
Its qi is cold, Bian human muscles and bones; Its meaning was bleak, and the mountains and rivers were lonely. The Emperor might not like such a good tune. But the Empress said that the Emperor liked to hear it. Why? There was no need for the Empress to harm him, so there was only one outcome. The Empress’ relationship was not as harmonious as she had imagined, so much so that the Empress could not even guess what the Emperor liked.
Linglong slightly turned around and sat on the bamboo couch, feeling very bored in her heart. Kissing, she stood behind Linglong and asked, “Little Lord, why is this song so strange?”
Linglong exhaled like an orchid, “It’s just a song from the previous dynasty. What’s weird about it?”
Stop blowing her flute, Linglong sat lazily on the bamboo couch. In front of her was a yellow pear wooden table. Her hand moved intentionally or unintentionally on it. Suddenly, she accidentally opened a secret compartment and a letter wrapped in a bright yellow silk fell to the ground.
Qin’er hurriedly picked up something when she saw it. She originally thought it was the little master’s personal belongings. After looking around, she realized that it was an old item in the room. She did not intend to open it, but as soon as she received the small and exquisite hands, the entire silk bag automatically opened.
As the material of the silk bag was a rare raw silk in the palace, it was naturally extremely smooth. Linglong was slightly surprised, and her petite and exquisite palm slowly opened the letter.
That’s right, it’s indeed a letter. After many years of history, the letter still has the fragrance of an empty valley orchid. It wasn’t very sharp, but rather had an aura of Xi Ning. Although the handwriting on it had been written for many years, it was still so charming. Iron and silver hooks were as quiet as virgins.
When Linglong saw the handwriting on it, she couldn’t help but frown slightly. It was clearly Huiqi’s birth mother, Lin Xuanyuan’s handwriting. She read it without letting go of the scroll. She watched quietly while reading it. Suddenly, her eyebrows twitched, and Yi Jingtian’s leisurely body trembled slightly.
This letter was like a secret left behind by Lin Xuanyuan. Today, it finally appeared again.
“Qi’er didn’t like to cause trouble when she was young. She liked the tune ‘Calm Wave’ since she was young … Mother Imperial Concubine was also very happy …”
Bu Linglong finished reading the contents of the letter. It was just like what Ye Huiqi had said. She did not want to raise the war to make the world level. The best thing to do was to cure it vertically. It was the Emperor’s duty to not close the door at night unless he lost interest. Therefore, Linglong could tell that he did not like the domineering “who ruled the ups and downs”, but rather the gentler and gentler “calm waves” of a gentleman.
The shock just now had passed. Qin’er helped Linglong wrap up the silk bag or put it in that position. Linglong gracefully and leisurely stretched out her hand and took the jade screen flute. Then, he exhaled lightly and stood up. As he played, he walked to the porch window.
At this time, a gust of wind blew outside. Her charming posture was mirrored by her master outside the garden. Her gentle posture was truly beautiful.
It turned out that the Empress was wrong after all. She did not know. A woman in the palace probably thought that the arrogant and domineering person was someone the king liked. However, she ignored the Emperor’s personality and almost destroyed Linglong’s desire for perfection. Linglong tilted her eyes slightly and slowly stood on the spot after the song. “This is a graceful and elegant song. Little Lord, the Emperor will definitely like this song. What’s the name of this song?”
Bu Linglong gracefully turned her head around and her delicate and plump lips moved. “This is called ‘Calm Wave’.”
“It’s much better than those beautiful dances of Ying Ying and Yan Yan. Has Little Lord thought about it? Just use this?” . Qin’er boldly suggested.
Linglong smiled and placed the jade flute on the table.
After playing for a while, the two of them prepared to go back. The autumn light was like a flower, and the scenery outside was dyed crimson. The two of them walked out of Cloud Hall.
Bu Linglong had already learned these songs when she was a child. Now, she could only play them casually. However, she had not been in contact for a long time, so she couldn’t help but be unfamiliar with them. From then on, she had no choice but to play this’ Flat Wave ‘in seclusion.
Afterwards, all the concubines also stopped coming and going. They were all buried in their own rooms, not going out of the doors, not going out to learn what they should learn.
Chen Chongyi was worried that Bao Luo would not learn well and that it would be bad for her to self-defeat a dance. This was naturally the Emperor’s birthday, and it was a great event, and it was not vague at all.
The concubines in the palaces were also eagerly looking forward to it. They didn’t dare to make any mistakes in the slightest. Just like this, they passed through their expectations. The emperor’s birthday was in fifteen days. At this time, the concubines in the palaces began to come and go one after another. They talked about the heavens and the earth while ridiculing each other. It was not lively. Linglong had never participated in these things, but it was inevitable that she would be made difficult by others. She had also turned into a big person and just smiled.
