The First Empress - Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Princess Baoluo
Thinking of this, Linglong twitched slightly. Chen Chongyi hurriedly supported her and asked, “What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? You and my sisters are not allowed to feel unwell today. The left is just boiling. Sister, please boil.” She could tell that Chen Chongyi was getting impatient. She did not want to watch from here. These people could not be said to dance very well, but they were better than Princess Baoluo.

Princess Baoluo was innocent and innocent. She naturally did not want to catch the Emperor’s eye. She was just dancing step by step. She did not have much thought in her heart. Naturally, this was not desirable in the inner court of the Deep Palace. Chen Chongyi couldn’t help but feel self-hurt. Seeing that Linglong was also thinking about it, the two of them probably thought of something together. Only then did they comfort Linglong repeatedly.

Bu Linglong sat down reluctantly. “Take a look at Lan Sou Yu’s toes. She is wearing white shoes today.”

Chen Chongyi’s clear and bright eyes stared fixedly at Lan Sou Yu’s toes. Those white shoes were white just now, but now …

There was already a faint red color, as if it had been dyed red by something from the inside out. Chen Chongyi was puzzled and couldn’t help but curl her lips. “What is this? Looks like Lan Shuyu’s eyes are also bright. Big sister sighs that she is inferior to him,” Chen Chongyi said.

Lan Sou Yu’s dance on the stage was nearing its end. It’s almost over, Well played, However, the shoes on his feet had slowly turned pale red, Crimson. It turned out that Lan Sou Yu had accidentally sprained her muscles and bones in order to dance. Also, because her shoes had to be customized and the people from the Shang Palace Bureau had been rushing to make them overnight, they were naturally not of that good size. As a result, her feet had been torn apart as soon as she danced. However, this was an extraordinary time. Lan Sou Yu could only clench her teeth and slowly persevere.

“It’s not that my eyes are good,” Linglong said. “It’s just that I accidentally saw it.” Linglong did not have that many thoughts. However, when Hu Xuanwu jumped up, her skirt would reveal her small feet. Naturally, the only ones who saw this situation were not Chen Chongyi and Bu Linglong. However, everyone tacitly did not say anything.

On the stage, Lan Sou Yu had already finished jumping. Her eyes were like flowing water as she looked at the Sovereign King. Huiqi’s long and slightly curled eyelashes moved and she waved her hand. “Last time, Luo Zi Dai, I said nothing.” Huiqi had seen a lot of dances, but it was rare to see such a beautiful hu-hu dance, so he was overjoyed and prepared to fulfill his foreword.

Lan Sou Yu’s beautiful lips had a humble smile on them. “The Venerable One can’t give up. Your concubines will naturally thrust their eyebrows every day to let Your Majesty have a good look.”

“That’s good. Only then can I live up to my heart’s wishes.” Huiqi smiled faintly and looked back at Hui Ye. “What do you think, Seventh Prince? Seventh Prince is far away in the frontier, so he is naturally knowledgeable about Hu Xuanwu. Can you comment on him?”

Hui Ye laughed wildly. “This Hu Xuan dance naturally has a history. The Emperor might as well take a look at Handan to learn how to walk. King Jing of the Bohai Sea naturally knows that there is a saying that looks like he eats dolphins. According to my opinion, hehe … the dance has a 70% similarity, but it has to be said …”

Hearing this, Lan Shuyu’s cheeks were like pink. It was as if someone had told her the most secret thing in her heart. She was completely unwilling to let anyone see through her. Especially the one just now. After being injured, the pain on her foot was unusual. She had just concealed it and was about to be sprinkled salt on her wound. Naturally, it was not allowed.

Lan Shuyu was as angry as an orchid and smiled, “The seven kings have seen their subjects and concubines experience it. However, the seven kings are still warriors. There are a lot of things that they don’t know, right?” Hearing this, Hui Ye’s face changed. This woman was not simple, and this sentence was not simple either. It was clearly a provocation. Only Lan Zhenglin remained neutral among the Dang Yu in the court. If anyone recruited Lan Zhenglin under his command, it would naturally be a good thing for them. They could not offend Lan Sou Yu at this moment.

The cheeks of the Seven Kings’ Emblem Ye were slightly red, and his eyes flashed with a smile as he said, “Lan Zhaoyuan’s dance style is unprecedented. This official has never seen anything better.”

Lan Sou Yu’s words had already turned into admiration. She sneered and said, “In that case, this concubine has already thanked the Seven Kings for their praise.”

“No, no.” The two of them were calculating and didn’t want to offend each other so quickly. That was why they were safe and sound.

After saying that, Hui Ye looked at Hui Qi and said, “Royal Brother, Lan Zhaoyuan’s dance is truly unprecedented. I have never seen anything better than this.”

“Oh.” The Emperor had already understood the relationship between the two of them. Although the two of them were not related for the time being, it was obvious that they were preparing to build an unbreakable relationship between being used and being used. Huiqi smiled faintly and said, “That’s good.”

Empress Ji Zhuhua was naturally also in charge of warming up the arena. Seeing that it was getting late, she had already arranged for Princess Di Ji and the princes to start performing. At this time, Chen Chongyi slowly arrived behind Ji Zhuhua and whispered something.

“Your Majesty, the next dance was prepared by Princess Bao Luo. Princess Bao Luo is already fifteen years old. According to the old system of fifteen years old and a hairpin, the Emperor must give her a good reward for performing such a dance.” The Empress seemed to be overjoyed when she heard this. She then smiled and said, “Your Majesty, the next dance was prepared by Princess Bao Luo.”

The Empress did not dare to use this matter to ask the Emperor. She could only say that this was the end of the story. It was just a reward. The Tian Clan was very fortunate. It was Chen Chongyi’s fantasy to remember Princess Baoluo well and to pamper Princess Baoluo well.

Hui Qi nodded, “I haven’t seen Bao Luo for a long time. Is it fifteen?”

Chen Chongyi hurriedly looked at the Emperor with eyes comparable to peach blossoms and replied, “Isn’t that so? The Emperor naturally can’t remember these things when he is busy with court affairs. I think the Emperor has forgotten that Paulo is a Yimao-year-old stranger. She will be exactly fifteen next month.” Speaking of which, she was secretly shocked again. She was already fifteen years old …

Many princesses were about to kiss each other. She hoped that her fate would be rewritten from today onwards. There was no need for her to repeat her mistakes. Women’s hearts were always selfless and great. After saying this, Chen Chongyi said embarrassedly, “Your Majesty, Baoluo has already made preparations for today. Please take a good look at our daughter.”

Huiqi’s pure pupils looked at Chen Chongyi. He couldn’t remember that he had a daughter with this 30-year-old woman of the same age. Back then, if it wasn’t for his political status, who would have married a woman of the same age and begged for a lady in Dali Dynasty? However, there was also the saying that “it would be better for a man to be ten years old than a woman to be a freshman”. At that time, if it wasn’t for his own selfishness, Huiqi wouldn’t have let Chen Chongyi enter the palace.

But now, the child was actually fifteen years old.

Huiqi Junlang’s mountain-like nose twitched, “Let Bao Luo perform on stage.”

Chen Chongyi was so excited that she almost shed tears. Linglong hurriedly wiped Chen Chongyi’s face and said, “Big sister Chongyi, this is a good thing. Be happy. I still have to ask for a reward later. Why are you crying?”

Chen Chongyi broke into tears and laughed, “Sister is happy, happy …”

Bu Linglong handed over the handkerchief. “It’s good that you’re happy. Don’t lose your manners in front of you. That would be self-defeating.” Hearing this, Chen Chongyi was also a little scared. That’s right, don’t lose your manners. Otherwise, not only won’t you win the Emperor’s green eyes, there will probably be people laughing at you from the side.

As the two spoke, Baoluo had already arrived at the center of the stage from behind.

“Bao Luo greets Father Emperor. Father Emperor is blessed with peace. May Father Emperor live forever and be as blessed as the East China Sea …”

Only then did Hui Qi carefully examine Princess Bao Luo. It had been a long time since he had seen her. Naturally, she was unfamiliar. Princess Bao Luo today was different from her previous cute and innocent appearance. Instead, she wore a thin green gauze with golden threads. It was naturally easy to show her exquisite posture and graceful dancing posture when dancing.

Princess Bao Luo stepped onto the stage like an acacia brocade with a mandarin duck bird. She was so beautiful that it could not be cured. It was also like the bright autumn moon. It was bright and dazzling. Even Ji Zhu Hua looked at Bao Luo carefully for a moment. It was obvious that Bao Luo had studied hard today and did not have a pretentious posture. However, Chen Chongyi had already grasped all of this and had to make Baoluo dance properly.

Chen Chongyi’s chest jumped violently. Bu Linglong also knew what Chen Chongyi was worried about. She had studied this dance as a mentor, especially the dance behind her. She could do the dance that only rotated to the right, but it was hard for Baoluo to say.

Chen Chongyi’s heart was beating in her throat. Bu Linglong looked at Chen Chongyi and comforted her gently, “Sister Chongyi, don’t worry. When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten out. Sister, just watch. Even if you worry for no reason now, it won’t work, will it?”

Chen Chongyi looked over, “It’s not that I’m worried, it’s just that Bao Luo is still far inferior to you. I’m afraid that Bao Luo will self-defeat, that’s not good.”

“It won’t. Sister, just watch.” As Bu Linglong spoke, her gaze landed in front of Baoluo. Baoluo had just unfolded her beautiful skirt that was as beautiful as a peacock’s feathers, followed by 365 big swings. Chen Chongyi’s face became even paler. If she fell, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, he could only beg for fortune. Even if he was afraid, there was nothing he could do in his heart. He could only secretly pinch his sweat.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ninety …

Every time he turned around, Chen Chongyi’s chest would jump, and with great difficulty, it had risen to thirty integers. Chen Chongyi secretly chanted Buddhism in her heart.

“Bodhisattva’s blessing, it’s finally thirty, that’s all. From now on, it looks like I’m going to eat and chant Buddha.” Chen Chongyi and Baoluo were discussing whether they could reach thirty by three hundred. This was the safest thing to do. Thirty happened to be the Emperor’s birthday number, so there was probably nothing taboo about it.

After Baoluo finished dancing, he still didn’t know what to say. His gaze was still on his father. This man was truly tall and majestic. He was like a god, sitting there looking at him with a pair of eyes filled with sorrow and joy. However, there was no emotion in his eyes, because the Emperor had too many children, and his dance was not outstanding, so he probably couldn’t let the Emperor look sideways anymore.

Hui Qi’s clear and bright pupils looked at Bao Luo, “Bao Luo, are you already fifteen years old?”

Bao Luo’s bright red lips slightly rose, “Bao Luo is already fifteen years old if I return to my father.”

Huiqi looked at Baoluo’s fair and translucent skin, and then looked at Chen Chongyi. He couldn’t help but feel a little stunned. They had also suffered a lot over the years, right? Chen Chongyi had never competed for favor, and she could always be said to be a neutral person in the strange changes in the harem. Even her clothes were exceptionally calm and quiet.

However, Princess Bao Luo was so flawless. Her loose flower mist dress slightly closed as she looked at the Emperor. Just as Hui Qi was about to say something, another Princess Di Ji suddenly walked over, and Bao Luo was left out of sight.

Chen Chongyi’s eyes widened, “This …”

However, Linglong quickly withdrew her mind and said, “Isn’t the Emperor rewarding such a good daughter?” When she said “daughter”, Linglong deliberately raised her voice. Chen Chongyi was helpless, so she had no choice but to say it in such a manner.

Huiqi waved his strong arm, “Last time–”

After he finished speaking, he was already done. Chen Chongyi and Bu Linglong were still arguing with each other. It seemed like there was no hope left. Who knew if the Emperor would lose face in the next moment at the ninth level of the Heavenly Heart Realm?

Bu Linglong could only console Chen Chongyi, “The Emperor has looked at Baoluo, so he will naturally be worried in the future. The best reward that the Imperial Palace has to offer is probably this. What’s there to be unhappy about, sister?”

Chen Chongyi could not help but laugh embarrassedly, “Sister is right, Sister is very happy.” However, he could tell that Chen Chongyi’s tone did not contain the slightest bit of happiness, nor did he even have the slightest trace of a smile on his face.
