The First Empress - Chapter 264

Chapter 264 Conferral Ceremony

As she spoke, someone Ping Ping Ting Ting had already arrived. Her exquisite gaze was indeed the late Lan Sou Yu.

For some reason, Lan Shuyu was actually wearing a white gauze robe. Although it was simple and elegant, it had an unlucky feeling. She walked charmingly and gracefully to the side of the Exquisite Jade Emperor. After saluting, an indifferent smile appeared on her elegant jade face. Linglong merely smiled back and lowered her head indifferently.

Today, Lan Shuyu was wearing a light plum blossom makeup, which made her look much more elegant. There was a kind of indifference that no stranger could enter.

‘”Since all the concubines have arrived, I will take advantage of the good wine to start this enjoyment from beginning to end, Supervisor Li” Huiqi waved his hand as he spoke. A group of Eguan Bo Belt eunuchs walked over from behind. All of them walked over with smiles on their faces. They knelt down in front of Huiqi and handed over a bright yellow imperial edict. Linglong was anxious to see that the imperial edict was handed over to Huiqi. Could it be that Huiqi wanted to personally read out the imperial edict?

In the Dali Dynasty, no matter if it was the conferment ceremony or anything else, the Emperor would never personally read out the imperial edict. Seeing Linglong here, she couldn’t help but feel a little frightened. She was already the target of public criticism. Could it be that Huiqi was still lacking?

Lan Shuyu leaned over and said, The originally clear and beautiful face of Shu Li had a pale complexion. Linglong knew, No matter who was promoted, it was a blow to Lan Sou Yu and a calamity to her, Thus, she only smiled and looked at Lan Sou Yu’s change of expression. The face changed very quickly, After a faint pale silence, it returned to red. It was dyed with a thin blush, Huiqi raised the decree, The supervisor beside him gestured for Linglong to kneel on the ground. Linglong had enjoyed a smooth journey for so many years since her last promotion, but she didn’t have any privileges. Therefore, Linglong was completely unaware of the etiquette she needed to maintain in order to advance. After Supervisor Li reminded her in a low voice, Linglong quickly knelt on the ground paved with gold bricks. The gold was as cold as bone marrow. Linglong clenched her fists and her knuckles turned slightly pale. She was suddenly a little nervous and did not dare to look up at Huiqi who was sitting on top of her.

Huiqi pursed his lips and smiled, “Relax a little. There will be all kinds of promotion etiquette in the future. Don’t reveal yourself as a small family to prevent others from laughing at you.” Linglong finally relaxed a lot. Huiqi began to read the decree, “Only one month, one year, conferred the title of Concubine Yan on Bu Zhaoyi, I bow …” Linglong finished listening word by word. Only then did she receive the imperial edict, and then she stood up overjoyed. Huiqi personally put the golden seal and crown on top of Linglong’s head. Linglong felt as if it was weighing heavily on her head. However, this was also good. Linglong immediately felt a sense of satisfaction and existence that she had never felt before.

Actually, people are not so easily satisfied.

At this moment, when Linglong thought that everything had come to an end, something unexpected happened.

After Huiqi finished reading the imperial edict, he took another imperial edict from the imperial edict supervisor. Linglong was puzzled. It was already over, so why was there another one? Linglong looked at Lan Sou Yu. Lan Sou Yu’s face had a good color. Her complacent appearance made Ling Long feel a little disgusted and resisted. Lan Sou Yu knelt on the ground as if she had discussed it with Huiqi in advance.

“Only a certain date …”

Huiqi didn’t care about anyone’s gaze. After reading the imperial edict calmly, Linglong pretended to look at it carelessly. Lan Shuyu stood up with a happy smile. “Thank you, Your Majesty, for conferring me the title of Ninth Concubine.” It turned out that Lan Sou Yu had already been conferred the title of head of the nine concubines. Before Linglong could react, someone had already rushed over to congratulate her, With a calm smile on his face, he walked forward and said a few words of congratulations, When Lan Sou Yu saw Ling Long walk over, she was both happy and happy. After the two of them finished speaking, Huiqi walked over and looked at Lan Sou Yu and said, “From now on, you should be the head of the Nine Concubines. You should properly help Ling Long. After all, only Ling Long can be considered the number one in the harem.”

‘”Your Majesty, don’t worry. Your concubines have always been in love with Concubine Yan. Not to mention the six palaces, even the other matters are close, right, Concubine Yan?” Lan Shuyu smiled and nodded repeatedly, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. Your concubines have always been in love with Concubine Yan, let alone the six palaces.” As she spoke, she leaned over her eyes and said with a smile, “This is true. This concubine and the Ninth Concubine are confidante friends. They have already complemented each other for more than ten years. The so-called teaching and learning are mutually beneficial. I guess we should have a good spar in the future, right?”

Suddenly, Lan Zhenglin walked in from outside. Lan Zhenglin went straight to Huiqi’s side. He immediately bowed in front of Huiqi, Thanksgiving and kowtowing, Finally, his gaze fell on Linglong. Linglong looked at the gaze. There was no contempt, no threat, and no provocation. It was obvious that an elder was smiling at the earnest warning of a junior. As expected, Lan Zhenglin said, “Concubine Yan, please get along well with your daughter in the Regent’s Six Palaces. It’s the path of a human subject, the path of a country.” Linglong hated the way she did things in front of her, but she still smiled happily and said, “Naturally, I have to cooperate with the Ninth Concubine Lan. Don’t worry, Pavilion Master.” Lan Zhenglin lowered his head slightly. After retreating into the class, Linglong heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, no matter what method Lan Sou Yu used, she finally came up with a plan that was perfect for both of them. On the one hand, she was promoted, and on the other hand, she was promoted. However, Huiqi didn’t mention anything about these things. Linglong couldn’t help but feel a chill in her heart.

After a while, Outside reported that general han qi han came to celebrate the conferment ceremony, Linglong remembered what she said yesterday. Han Qi couldn’t help but glance at the man who walked in. After Han Qi walked in, she bowed to Huiqi and a few high-ranking people in the class. Then, she walked over and handed over a box with a hundred treasures embedded in it. Then, she moved closer to Linglong and said, “Your Highness has ascended. This gift is a little disrespectful. Please accept it with a smile.” Linglong didn’t know what was inside. She hurriedly opened it and took a look. She couldn’t help but feel a little distracted. Dawn was actually another gold medal. If these gold medals were merged into one, she would naturally be able to dismiss the new emperor. Huiqi walked over and Linglong quickly closed the box. “It’s just a small gift. If the emperor likes concubines, he can borrow flowers to present them to the emperor give them to the emperor the emperor.” Linglong knew that Huiqi was interested in the contents of this box. So she said, Huiqi was naturally embarrassed to take it for himself. She handed it over and said, “The beauty of a gentleman does not plunder others. Your things are yours. I don’t want them. Besides, this is your conferment gift. General Han also took care of it.”

Linglong smiled faintly. The banquet had already begun on this side, The woman around Zhu Wei Cui sat in the row of female guests. The rest of the place was filled with men. Although it could not be said that they were rubbing their shoulders, there were many people who came today. Linglong was no longer in charge of politics for a day or two. Naturally, there were many people from the Imperial Court who came to participate in the grand ceremony. Everyone knew that if Linglong was in a high position, not only in the harem, but also in the previous dynasty, it would be much better.

Although Linglong did Concubine Yan as everyone expected, she was not happy in her heart. On the contrary, a depressed aura slowly formed. She did not expect that Lan Sou Yu would be conferred the title on her conferment gift at the same time. It could be seen how deep Lan Sou Yu’s scheming and shrewdness were. As for Lan Sou Yu, she glanced at Ling Long. The meaning was self-evident. This palace can naturally do what you can do. Ling Long looked at Lan Sou Yu and couldn’t help but lower her eyebrows. She faintly thought of what kind of method she could use to walk faster. She didn’t want to be on par with Lan Sou Yu.

“What is Imperial Concubine Yan thinking?” Chen Chongyi stretched out her hand. Because Linglong was dressed too solemnly, her entire body was wrapped in layers of feathered clothes. Seeing Chen Chongyi’s hand stretching out, she instinctively grasped it. Chen Chongyi revealed a rather disappointed expression and said, “Don’t you know?”

“What?” Linglong asked, “Big sister, do you mean about Lan Sou Yu?”

Chen Chongyi nodded and said, “You don’t know either?”

Linglong secretly nodded. “The current Emperor is at the ninth level of the Heavenly Heart Realm. My sister doesn’t know anything about this. What happened today …” After all, Chen Chongyi entered the palace a little earlier than Linglong. After panicking, he frowned and began to think of a way. After a while, he finally regained his senses and said, “Sister, don’t be afraid. We also have our own way of dealing with Lan Sou Yu. Sister, please don’t stay here. Sister has already thought of a way.” Linglong knew that Chen Chongyi had been out of favor for many years, and her method was not that smart. However, with such a person as her backbone, Linglong felt that it was a lot more stable for no reason.

Chen Chongyi went to Concubine Guyi’s side. The two of them didn’t know what they were muttering. Concubine Guyi nodded heavily and Chen Chongyi walked to Linglong’s side. “Don’t worry, little sister. It’s still little sister who won today. It’s just a conferment gift. According to big sister, Lan Shuyu is also nameless. Little sister is the uncrowned king. Besides, big sister has already decided …”

“Decide what?” When Linglong saw Chen Chongyi’s face, she couldn’t help but look anxious. However, Chen Chongyi only smiled faintly and said, “You’ll know soon. There are too many suspenses today, so why not let the grass snake fall to ashes?” Hearing this, Linglong could only nod her head. At this time, Concubine Guyi also smiled and looked at Linglong. Linglong saw a look of willingness to help her from Concubine Guyi’s already aged face.

At this time, Han Qi from the class arrived behind Linglong and said, “Your Highness doesn’t seem to be happy at all. I will make Your Highness happy. Your Highness, don’t be afraid of other people’s high positions of power. In my eyes, they are like vegetation. I will always be behind Your Highness and offend Her Highness, even if it is far from over.” Linglong did not dare to turn her head. She only used the water stains in the tea cup to write a thank you note on the table. At this time, the few people in front of her had already surrounded Huiqi. The ones leading them were Chen Chongyi and Concubine Guyi. The two of them smiled softly and beautifully. Linglong could not help but look over.
