The First Empress - Chapter 25
Chapter 25 Linglong’s Heart
Linglong had been courteous and polite under her father’s and Xi Xi’s teachings since childhood. She had learned a lot of things but only played the flute to the point of falling in love. It was because dancing was just a sideline. Linglong didn’t think that this kind of dance was anything special. It was just ordinary.
Actually, he had thought of using a dance to be the champion at that time. However, it would be too conceited for the harem to show up in front of so many people. At that time, it would be good to attract a lot of admiration. It would be bad if there were people complaining that they would take the opportunity to hit a rock when it fell.
Therefore, Linglong gave up this idea. She only needed to listen to the Empress’ arrangements with a clear voice. At that time, the dance would naturally be dazzling. Of course, the Emperor would also experience aesthetic fatigue. When you finished singing and I appeared on the stage, Linglong would suddenly appear in a concise manner. Naturally, she would attract Huiqi’s attention.
The Empress had already considered all of this, so she naturally didn’t need to delve into it. She just needed to follow her steps.
Chen Chongyi tried to pull Bu Linglong’s attention back. Linglong had always been cautious and afraid of being rude, and she didn’t want others to know that she knew how to dance like this. She hadn’t shown it in public before. When she jumped out, Chen Chongyi was stunned for a long time.
Only then did Linglong regain her senses, but her eyes were slightly cold and arrogant. Her eyes suddenly lost their focus and looked at the spot on the red wall. Her dark eyes were as calm as an ancient well. “Sister, do you think it would be good if my younger sister stepped onto the stage to perform?”
Chen Chongyi stirred her jet black hair in her hand, and her eyes also quietly emitted a deep blue light. “After all, being too prominent will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. How could your sister not know your thoughts?” “You are different from Baoluo. Baoluo is a princess. If you dance well this time, everything will be fine. If you don’t dance well, no one will hurt you. Sister will be different.”
Hearing this, Linglong smiled gracefully. “Big sister seems to have seen it clearly enough. This little sister of the Deep Palace Court also understands. As long as she is talented, is she afraid of being covered by mud for the rest of her life?”
‘”Furthermore, Han music is encouraged by the Yellow Sect. It is used by the officials of the Son of Heaven banquet. It is probably because the Empress wants her younger sister to fall in love with it. Thinking about it, everyone is dancing at that time, the Emperor will definitely be tired of watching. When the younger sister arrives, she will only use the flute to replace the dance without saying a word.”
Huiqi naturally knew how many of them were using their appearances to seduce a confused divine bewitch. The Empress understood better, so she chose Xiao Sheng. On this point, the Empress did not conceal her selfishness and was only seeking truth from facts. It was just that the Empress was wrong to think that Emperor Huiqi liked “who was in charge of the ups and downs” and not other music.
Linglong was also slightly shocked. Even the Palace Lord was unable to comprehend the Sacred Heart, let alone anyone else.
Linglong was like a rare existence. Chen Chongyi had already recognized that this was an inevitable and unchangeable fact. Therefore, she wanted to treat Bu Linglong well. Once she had Linglong’s prosperity, she could naturally protect Princess Baoluo from the side.
However, Linglong was very indifferent to human affairs. She only wanted to be a pampered concubine to protect the safety of the entire family, and she did not want to fall into the jealous trap of each other and each other’s flesh and blood. Everything should be treated with a calm and clear attitude. Being able to not care about anything, that was the only way to be serious.
Chen Chongyi had never had such a leisurely view of Bu Linglong, but today, she had changed her mind about Bu Linglong. She really didn’t know how many answers to this woman’s riddle she didn’t know.
After a bit of lifting, Baoluo danced like a lotus flower. Linglong did not see her own dance. She had only seen her own graceful dance when she was young at the pool. Now, she had understood a rather desolate state of mind. She danced for others to see. She did not need to know what kind of dance she was dancing.
Just looking at Princess Baoluo’s hundreds of intractable figures, she already felt that she was exceptionally beautiful. It seemed that her guidance was indeed quite good. The entire dance was a once-in-a-hundred-year right turn, and it could be said to be new.
Baoluo’s silhouette slowly paused. After thinking for a while, she began to spin again. Linglong looked at Baoluo’s unstoppable gait and smiled. “It’s already like Furong coming out of the water. There’s no need to jump so many laps. It’s fine to jump 30 laps. After all, the Son of Heaven’s birthday is only for congratulations.”
“That’s good too.” Baoluo paused.
Linglong and Chen Chongyi stepped down the stairs and patted Bao Luo confidently, “If I were the Emperor, I would definitely take a good look at this forgotten daughter. Bao Luo feels that she is cute and should give full play at that time.”
“Since Big Sister Bu can dance so well, why doesn’t Big Sister Bu dance? Why does she play the Jade Ping Xiao?” Bao Luo smiled happily after thinking about it for a while and asked, “Why doesn’t Big Sister Bu dance? Why does she play the Jade Ping Xiao?”
For some reason, Linglong suddenly remembered a few words from the Book of Songs: “A woman is born, a place to sleep.” Carry clothes of poplar, carry tiles. Nothing more than Wuyi, only wine and food is discussed, no parents YiBian.
‘”It’s all about etiquette, drinking and eating, and having no parents.” However, this principle was probably taught to Baoluo by chickens and ducks, so he smiled and said, “These are all arrangements made by the Empress. The speaker, the voice of the heart, the singer, and the words of the voice.” The Empress also wants to make big sister Bu shocking, right? The ancients said that “lamentation is insufficient, so Yong Ge”, so when you all stop, big sister laments that it is insufficient and Yong Ge “.
Seeing that Baoluo couldn’t understand, Linglong smiled and said, “Sister is different from you. You are the princess of the Dali Dynasty, so you should play well. Sister just wants to consolidate her pet. Naturally, the starting point is different. However, Baoluo only needs to promise Sister to perform well at that time. Sister also promises Baoluo to play well at that time. Is that okay?”
Bao Luo couldn’t help but sigh, “It has been a long time since Father Emperor summoned me to the Dragon Region Palace. I guess he has long forgotten about Bao Luo. Bao Luo often heard people say that he is happy with the new and weary of the old. Perhaps Father Emperor also likes the new Prince, Empress Di Ji, so he will forget about me.”
When Linglong heard Baoluo’s sadness, she naturally touched her heart. Why not? Baoluo was just a girl. If she was a man, then she would look at her differently. It was only a girl with a different fate.
Linglong reached out and patted Baoluo’s shoulder. There was no need to say anything to comfort her. “At that time, you can perform well. There are some things that we can’t think of. Look at you. You’re exhausted.” Linglong hurriedly reached out to wipe Bao Luo’s sweat. Although Bao Luo was only five years younger than herself, her eyes were filled with the wisdom and calculations of adults. This was the inner courtyard of the Deep Palace. There was nothing she could do.
Chen Chongyi was naturally extremely grateful for the benefits. As he nodded and smiled, he pulled Bao Luo over and said, “Why don’t you quickly thank Imperial Concubine Bu? If you go back and study hard, you can live up to Imperial Concubine Bu’s teachings.” Chen Chongyi’s dignified eyes looked at her daughter. Baoluo was so scared that she hurriedly thanked her. Only then did she see Chen Chongyi reveal a smile that she had not seen for a long time. “Let’s go.”
After leaving with Bao Luo, Linglong watched the two slowly walk away before she sighed slightly.
Sheng handed over a cup of Biluo Spring Tea. “Little Master, are you tired? Have a drink of tea. Just now, Little Master let this servant see the light of day with a dance. Only then did I know that there was indeed someone outside the human world. However, this servant still did not know why Little Master chose to use Xiao?”
“There’s nothing that I don’t understand. I have my own difficulties. I just don’t want to overdo it to avoid attracting that concubine.”
Sheng nodded, “Little Lord also has a chasm in his heart.”
As the two of them were talking, the Empress’ phoenix carriage had already arrived. This was the first time the Empress had personally come to Yunluan Palace. Linglong bowed in fear. “Linglong doesn’t know that the Empress’ phoenix carriage would be a waste of time. I hope the Empress will forgive me.”
Ji Zhu Hua didn’t mind Bu Ling Long’s panicked rudeness. He took the opportunity to observe her and held Ling Long’s hand. “What are you talking about? It’s just that I have nothing to talk to you about. Your palaces have been busy lately, but no one has come here often.”
Linglong didn’t dare to look at her. After a while, Ji Zhuhua smiled and said, “Get up, are you still kneeling? Don’t you feel cold on the ground.”
Ji Zhu Hua came here for some unknown reason. Ling Long raised her head in confusion. Qin’er and Li Sheng had already been busy serving the Empress fresh pastries and warm tea. Ji Zhu Hua and Bu Ling Long sat in the flower hall. After a long time, Ji Zhu Hua sighed slightly. Did she learn the song well? ”
Linglong was terrified and hurriedly lowered her head. “I didn’t learn it well. I, I intend to choose another song. Now that the world is peaceful, the people are fine. I thought that the Emperor also likes to write at dawn and rest at dusk. Drinking by digging a well and eating by farming, I chose another song.”
“This palace also has no intention of frightening my sister. You don’t need to be too cautious. As long as you choose this palace properly, I will help you. Just stay alert and don’t let this palace down.” Although Ji Zhuhua had a joking expression, there was always something sinister that made Linglong a little afraid.
Linglong looked at her and said, “This concubine is stupid, but I can only choose the tune next to it now.”
The Empress did not blame her. There was no trace of vulgarity or recklessness in her tone. She smiled and said, “Singer, the words of the voice are also moved by the emotions in the words. Probably what you choose is good. Since that’s the case, then do as you please.”
Linglong quietly raised her head and said, “Thank you, Empress.”
When did the Empress start to appear so mysterious? The Empress smiled and said, “Forget it, I still have to walk around the palaces. You should practice hard. At that time, I will treat you well.”
“Thank you, Your Highness.” Linglong hesitated and didn’t dare to say anything else. After all, even if she had violated the Empress’ sacred will, she might offend the Empress.
“There’s nothing to thank you for. Just wait for the good news.” After the Empress finished speaking, she prepared to leave, but her gaze was still burning between Linglong’s eyebrows and did not shift.
Her deep and powerful eyes made Linglong a little afraid. She lowered her head and didn’t dare to look. Only then did Ji Zhuhua walk outside.
Li Sheng hurriedly came over to help Bu Linglong. Linglong resisted slightly. Just now, there was a bit of fear from the bottom of her heart. Linglong bit her lower lip and said, “Your Majesty, this is …”
Sheng’s eyes shone brightly as she said with great interest, “Probably Little Master is prepared. The Empress will arrange it for Little Master, and this servant is overjoyed.”
Linglong’s heart unconsciously stifled for a moment before she sat on the chair. From the tone of the Empress, she sounded as if she had her own honor. Could it be …
Linglong did not dare to think further.
