The First Empress - Chapter 263
Chapter 263 Conferred Concubine Yan
Qin’er saw Linglong’s expression change and hurriedly asked, “Is there anything wrong with the letter?” Linglong casually handed the envelope over. “You can see for yourself that this letter is no different from others. What a fool. If the Emperor sees it, I really don’t know what to say.”
Qin’er hurriedly grabbed the piece of paper. His expression changed drastically as he watched, Qin’er didn’t dare to look at it anymore. “The last time by the Taihu Lake Stone, the breeze blew by. Qing and I were on a blind date. It was the happiest thing I’ve ever done in my life. I wonder if Qing missed it … Qing’s heart wasn’t happy, and I was willing to help Qing …” She hurriedly walked to the side of the candlelight. Linglong was silent and Qin’er said, “Your Highness, this is the source of the trouble. Why don’t you let this servant burn it?”
Linglong nodded. Before he could open the torch, It’s already been reported that Huiqi is here, Linglong was shocked. Qin’er hurriedly put the paper in her mouth. It was impossible to chew slowly. After swallowing like a cow chewing on a peony, Qin’er almost choked half to death. She rolled her eyes and fell to the ground. At this time, Huiqi walked in. Linglong had to greet Huiqi respectfully. After welcoming her, she came over to help Qin’er up. Seeing Qin’er like this, Huiqi asked, “What happened to her?”
“It’s nothing much. It’s just that I’ve eaten something bad.” After Linglong Wuxin said this, Hui Qi’s expression changed slightly, “Eat something?” Linglong nodded her head. Since she had already started lying, she had no choice but to lie. Linglong knew that she could not turn around and tell the emperor that her concubines were trying to make fun of the emperor. She could only nod her head and say, “She was just eating the phoenix scroll. She choked when she heard that the emperor had come.” As Linglong spoke, she hurriedly went to the front and poured a glass of water for Qin’er. After Qin’er finished drinking it, she woke up faintly. Fortunately, she didn’t reveal the truth and didn’t spit out the secret. She didn’t have the most terrifying fear in her heart and quickly bowed to Bai Huiqi.
“Eat as you please,” said Huiqi. “The Empress will give you something to eat. It’s hard to figure out what kind of strange thing you’re going to eat when you eat it raw.” Qin’er hurriedly spat, “It’s servant who is greedy. If servant doesn’t like glutinous rice pancakes, then it’s fine. Unfortunately, servant likes to eat …”
Linglong thought to herself, “You’ve eaten your brains out. It’s obvious that the phoenix rolled into a glutinous rice cake.” Only then did Qin’er know that she and Linglong did not have the same caliber, so she hurriedly nodded her head, “This servant remembered wrongly, this servant remembered wrongly.”
“Do you remember wrongly what you like to eat?” Huiqi walked over. She clearly wanted to threaten Qin’er, Linglong leisurely looked at Qin’er. She was confident that Qin’er would turn things around, At this time, if he was nervous, he would definitely get out of the way. That was why he remained calm. Qin’er bowed and said, “Your Majesty, Qin’er is very nervous here. It is inevitable that you will remember wrongly. In fact, servant has always loved to eat everything when he was young. Not only did he like glutinous rice cakes, but he also liked phoenix rolls and balls.” Only then did Huiqi relax a little and sighed, “Let’s go down.”
Qin’er felt like she had been granted an amnesty. She quickly slipped down and helped Linglong bring tea and water. Linglong saw that the topic was over and did not want Huiqi to pull it back. She glanced at Qin’er before leaving. Linglong said, “What did the Emperor come here for?” Don’t you want to come over and take a look at this concubine’s crown? These were all made by Empress Han Xiuyi overnight, but Empress Qian didn’t make any mistakes at all. ”
Huiqi said, “Go and change it. I’ll have a look first.”
Linglong didn’t dare to disobey, When they reached the back hall, With Li Sheng’s help, he changed his clothes and walked out, A head of hair that looked like dark clouds was also casually pulled on. Thus, his entire body seemed much more refreshed. The white jade-like slender hand gently lifted the curtain and walked to the outer hall. Huiqi looked at Linglong without blinking. Linglong was always the best saber in Huiqi’s eyes, The best wife, At most, she was a good wife and mother. She had never looked at Linglong carefully before. Suddenly, she saw Linglong walk out. She was also exceptionally dazzling. She couldn’t help but smile and her eyebrows curved. “I didn’t look at you properly before. After you become the Empress, I will definitely look at you properly. I will look at you every day in my life.”
The corners of Linglong’s mouth curled up slightly, her face as white as jade. “Your Majesty, just look at it now. I’m afraid this kind of dress is too complicated, I can’t wear it often.” Huiqi looked at Linglong’s beautiful face and smiled, “It can’t be one side, but unwillingness is another side. Could it be that you don’t want to?” Linglong was unwilling, but how could she show her unwillingness in front of Huiqi? Thus, she forced a smile and said, “It’s not that I’m unwilling. The Emperor looked at these clothes carefully. These embroidered tassels.” Linglong circled around and said, “And these ornaments. Ah, it’s really not easy to clean them, isn’t it?”
Huiqi’s eyes emitted a faint halo. He walked over and Linglong quickly dodged. Huiqi had already held Linglong’s hand. “Why is your hand so cold?” A hesitant expression appeared on Linglong’s face. She did not know what to say, nor did she know what to say. She simply stood there and looked at Huiqi in front of her.
This kind of exquisite look almost lit up Huiqi’s eyes. Linglong’s face was sparkling and translucent. She had never noticed Linglong’s skin shining like snow before. Even he had never noticed a small dimple on Linglong’s face. How many secrets did this woman have or what was not seen in front of him?
‘”Your Majesty, you’ve hurt me.” Linglong’s face was slightly bashful. Only then did Huiqi let go of his hand, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you like this. It’s been a long time …”
“It’s not easy for Your Majesty to see your concubines,” said Linglong with a faint smile on her delicate and beautiful face. “Your Majesty can summon your concubines as soon as you want. It’s very easy to fear that your Majesty doesn’t have any concubines in his eyes. That’s difficult. Even if your concubines are a living person in front of you, you still can’t see them, can you?” Linglong gracefully turned around and was caught by Huiqi. “Is it inconvenient for you today?”
‘”There’s nothing inconvenient about this concubine. It’s just that it’s still not nighttime yet. Will the Emperor come tonight?” Linglong’s eyes were as pure as pearls and jade.
Huiqi grasped Linglong’s slender finger and said, “Alright, I will definitely come tonight. Serve me well.” ‘”Your Majesty, don’t speak nonsense.” Linglong’s face was slightly red with goose fat.
Huiqi’s lips cherry, “It’s just a joke between girls, you can afford it.”
Linglong nodded. As expected, Huiqi did not break his promise, After saying that, he left, Linglong’s heart was in chaos. She didn’t know when she didn’t want to have another relationship with Huiqi at all, It was fine for the two of them to respect each other like guests, but there was a kind of disgust and resistance to letting the two of them do those things in harmony. She did not know why she would resist. These thoughts had never existed before, and Linglong sat on a chair.
Qin’er walked over to add water to Linglong. Linglong regained her composure. Qin’er also looked over. Her eyes were pure-colored like glass spots. Linglong only sighed slightly. Qin’er looked back at Linglong’s dazzling and fresh eyes and asked, “What’s the matter with Your Highness? She looks depressed and unhappy?”
“Qin’er, can you do me a favor?” Linglong held Qin’er’s hand. Qin’er put the teapot away and looked at Linglong seriously. She gritted her teeth and said, “Qin’er is from the Empress. Concubine can do whatever she wants Qin’er to do.” After thinking for a while, Linglong still felt that it was inappropriate. Qin’er didn’t say anything, so she couldn’t help but be anxious. “Just say what the Empress wants to say. Qin’er will die. Qin’er is our blessing to be able to serve the Empress. The other concubines in the palace cursed and beaten the servants. Only the Empress treats servant very well. Now that it’s time for servant to repay the Empress, there’s nothing she can say.”
Hearing this, Linglong was speechless for a long time. After a while, she sighed slightly and said, “It’s fine, I might need you to help me in the future …”
At night, Huiqi came as promised. The wind blew outside. Huiqi walked in. Seeing Linglong looking at him through the window, he couldn’t help but smile. He reached out and grabbed a strand of green silk from Linglong’s shoulder behind his ear. “The wind is late. Just wait for me in the bedroom hall. I will naturally come over. If I pounce on the wind like this, wouldn’t it be my fault?”
Linglong still had a smile on her face. However, he clenched his fists slightly. The rain hit Jade Lotus, and the rain fell. Linglong Fang held Huiqi’s hand and went into the bedroom hall. The water in the hall was like an inexplicable monster. Huiqi and Linglong went into the inner hall, leaving only one maid in the outer hall. The rest of them were dismissed, and Linglong got into the quilt quietly.
It was originally Qin’er that night. Seeing the two of them in the inner hall, Qin’er quietly left.
The next day, Linglong woke up early. There were already magpies chirping above her head. Li Sheng and Qin’er were both happy and helped Linglong pull up her hair. Linglong slowly stood up with her left hand on the table. An exquisite silhouette was reflected in the huge mercury mirror. It was as beautiful as spring plum blossoms and as divine as autumn chrysanthemum. The clothes worn by the hundred butterflies complemented each other even more. A dozen butterflies joined together to form a golden phoenix. Linglong smiled and her cheeks merged with a ball of joy. She asked, “Is the Emperor in Qianyuan Palace?”
Linglong’s eyes glittered like a moon shooting down a cold river. Qin’er said, “The imperial esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed Linglong stood up and walked out of the picturesque Qianyuan Palace. There were already many concubines waiting outside, and Linglong slowly entered the palace.
The verdant and dense green trees stood at the entrance of Qianyuan Palace, pierced through the gaps in the sunlight, Linglong felt like a flash of light and a phoenix. She slowly walked into the inner hall. Her snow-white skin was slightly red in the sunlight. Her pitch-black long hair danced in the wind. Her bright eyes like stars stared over and collided with Huiqi’s eyes. She lowered her head slightly. “Your Majesty, this concubine greets Your Majesty.”
Huiqi Shuya smiled and walked over. When she thought of the scene of the Desire for Immortality and Death last night, Huiqi was overjoyed. She held Linglong’s hand and said, “Today is your big day. I have already asked Supervisor Li to draw up a golden book. Although it is inferior to the Empress’ golden book, it will not disgrace you. Supervisor Li will send it over later.”
Linglong’s bright and holy face was filled with a sincere smile. Actually, Linglong knew that if she didn’t become Concubine Yan, she wouldn’t be able to be the Empress. If she didn’t become the Empress, she would be killed by Lan Sou Yu sooner or later. Instead of living like this, she would rather fight back with ease. Therefore, she smiled inappropriately and said, “It’s all the Emperor’s intention. Whatever the Emperor says, is what it is.” Linglong’s cheeks flushed red. Today, he looked even more graceful, A concubine had already sent her gifts. Her beautiful eyebrows slightly shook as she thanked the crowd. Sure enough, there was no Lan Sou Yu in the crowd. Ling Long looked again and still couldn’t find her. Her jade cheeks and cherry lips trembled slightly as she waved her hand and asked, “Why didn’t Lan Zhaoyuan come to Qian Yuan Palace?”
Huiqi’s eyebrows pierced into his temples, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. “I’ll be here soon. Don’t worry, there’s no one who won’t come to your big day.”
