The First Empress - Chapter 291

Chapter 291 Marriage Granted by the Son of Heaven
Only then did everyone stand up rustling. The friction between the skirts of their skirts resounded. Baoluo and Chen Chongyi sent their gazes over. Linglong drank wine and smiled like spring breeze. This was precisely the old admonition of the fish diving abyss. She could not catch the fish. Only by grasping Huiqi’s weakness could the negotiation succeed.

Tuoba Rui and Zhenxi stood up. His words and deeds were as decent as ever, and he did not look disappointed at all because of defeat. Linglong knew that there was still a final move. At first, it was just the Sui Zhu Bullet Sparrow. They didn’t expect this person to succeed. The banquet in the palace continued like a flowing cloud. It didn’t dissipate the atmosphere of drunkenness because of such an unexpected episode. Huiqi was ready to leave, ‘”Your Majesty, this concubine saw the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is said that there are people with good moons for a long time. This concubine is willing to offer this liquid of jade to Your Majesty. May the emperor be united for thousands of years. The country will have more blessings than the water.” Lan Shuyu nodded softly as she exchanged glasses and plates.

Although he said a few words in a kind manner, he didn’t expect that Huiqi would also laugh at him. She raised her glass and gulped down the wine in Lan Sou Yu’s direction. Lan Sou Yu did not drank up the wine in a single gulp. Then she covered her lips and smiled, “Everyone, please have a drink. If you want to go to a banquet, you can sing and dance everywhere. In a crowd of flowers, isn’t it bad luck for everyone to be silent now?”

In the Dali Dynasty, the words that overlapped with the name of the Son of Heaven should be obscured, “Luck” is equivalent to “Huiqi”, The Emperor, who had just smiled happily, had now tightened his lips. Linglong had already noticed that Lan Sou Yu had committed a taboo. He walked up to the Emperor and put on a heavy fur on Huiqi’s shoulder. This Huiqi was made of plump autumn-fat grass and sheep. It looked a little luxurious. Huiqi stretched out his hand and tightened the heavy fur. He said, “Still, you know what I’m thinking. I’ve wanted someone who knows pain and heat since early morning. It’s also my good fortune.” Huiqi reached out and held Linglong’s wrist. Linglong only smiled and nodded her head implicitly.

Zhenxi suddenly sneered. Her voice was not as mellow and beautiful as before. There was an obvious mockery in her cold voice. Just now, because she almost offended the Emperor, Zhenxi couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. At this moment, she let out such a strange smile, which made Huiqi even more unhappy.

‘”If you have something to say, you don’t look like you did when you first got married. At that time, you knew a little about thimble tingling, and you were also a person in my heart. Now that you’ve seen you for three years, you really can’t see you clearly. Princess Tuoba–” Huiqi’s voice was also cold. Zhenxi did not want to call the Emperor “Father Emperor” in front of her in public. The Emperor naturally did not want to call Zhenxi “Zhenxi” in a joyous occasion where everyone was gathered. There was already a crack between them. This crack was like a network formed by the spring sun shining on the tranquil ice surface, and it would shatter at a single touch.

Linglong sighed faintly. Today’s crevices are formed, It seemed like he had to take a step forward, To completely implement this matter, Linglong glanced at Princess Baoluo, Li Chen, and Chen Chongyi, who were far away from the end of the banquet. They looked really envious of each other. Linglong knew that doing good deeds had to be done to let Chen Chongyi rest assured. She took a step forward and said, “Your Majesty, the moon is full, look-”

Pointing to the sky, the bright moon slowly rises from the dark clouds. The darkness cannot obscure the moonlight. It is resplendent and luxurious. Huiqi smiled and said, “Today, we don’t see the ancient moon. Today, it once shone on the ancients. Today, the moon is relatively round. However, I feel that there are also sixteen full moons on the fifteenth day. Tomorrow, it will be even fuller.”

When Linglong saw that the topic had already changed to the astronomical phenomenon, she couldn’t help but feel anxious. She walked out of her wine table and knelt gently in front of Huiqi. “Your Majesty, why don’t you take advantage of this good time to fulfill General Li and Princess Baoluo?”

Huiqi glanced at Linglong. In the moonlight, Linglong’s radiant face was even more beautiful than jade. It was a dress that set off the fragrance of the country. Her beautiful appearance was almost like a beautiful piece of white lanolin jade. Even her beautiful eyes revealed a faint plea. Huiqi said, “Stand up.”

As soon as Linglong got up, Chen Chongyi led Li Chen and Baoluo to the front of the Imperial Court. “Your Majesty, your concubine has lived in the Imperial Court for many years and has never pleaded with the Emperor. Today, your concubine asked the Emperor to allow her to take advantage of the wine.” Chen Chongyi also knew the principle of sleeping through the night. This Tuoba Rui was not ignorant on the surface. This person was meticulous and good at innuendo. As long as he was interested in someone, he would not be able to let him go easily this time. Chen Chongyi naturally had to grasp this opportunity.

Even Li Chen and Baoluo knelt on the ground. Huiqi looked at the two of them, a pair of them in their entire lives. They were truly a beautiful couple. Baoluo’s face flushed red. He was happy that so many people were planning for his future. At the same time, he was embarrassed that so many people were planning for his future with Li Chen. Huiqi’s expression was a little inexplicably cold. No one knew what Huiqi was thinking.

Linglong looked at the crowd. Strangely, no one stepped forward to interfere. This was very unexpected.

The clear moonlight fell from the sky, causing the entire ground to become clear and translucent. Linglong looked at Huiqi with a slightly moved expression. She unconsciously placed her hand on the wine table in front of her, and then slowly withdrew it. Everyone was observing the Emperor’s expression.

“General Li, logically speaking, you are not a match for my princess. In my heart, Huiqi is going to stay in the capital. You must have seen that,” said Baoluo, who gulped down all the remaining wine in his glass. Huiqi sighed and placed the wine cup heavily on the table. The table trembled heavily, and everyone’s hearts trembled.

The corner of Li Chen’s mouth revealed an expression of treating death as if he were returning home. He slowly extended his hands to hold Baoluo’s. “This servant does not have a golden house nor a thousand cups of millet, but this servant can guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen to Princess Chen Baoluo. If the general dies in a hundred battles, she will not be surprised either.” At this point, Li Chen suddenly kowtowed heavily. He looked at the Emperor and pleaded, “Please grant me a marriage. I will definitely do everything I can to give everything to Princess Bao Luo. I guarantee that I will keep Yan Yunzhou under guard and not allow anyone with an unknown identity to enter or leave.” Linglong was secretly shocked. She didn’t expect Li Chen to be even more valiant than he looked. She also pinched a cold sweat for Li Chen. This kind of game was no different from a big bet. If she won, everyone would naturally be happy. If she lost, the Emperor’s words would immediately make the two people’s heads stand apart.

‘”Your Majesty, your words are groundless. When it comes to Yan Yunzhou, your concubine’s father is also a general. If Your Majesty really wants Jin Ouque of Yan Yunzhou to be born, your concubine’s father can also help your Majesty.” Lan Shuyu walked to the front and said. Unexpectedly, Lan Sou Yu was waiting here. Hearing Lan Sou Yu’s words, Ling Long hurriedly looked at Huiqi’s expression. Huiqi did not move like a mountain and placed a wine cup on the table.

“Linglong, come and serve me.”

Linglong walked to the wine table doubtfully. Huiqi said indifferently, “What do you think, Yan Yunzhou can be handed over to Li Chen?”

Linglong nodded. “Their relationship is stronger than Jin Jian’s. I think the Emperor saw it. In this way, the two of them will definitely be more grateful to the Emperor than to Lan Zhenglin. The Lan Pavilion is always a ferocious beast that is ready to attack. This person cannot be prevented. The Emperor must understand the rationale behind his intention to guard against others.”

Both of their voices were lowered, and only two people could hear them clearly. After Linglong finished speaking, she poured a glass of wine for Huiqi. Huiqi raised it and said, “Li Chen, come forward.”

Li Chen raised his head from the ground and looked at Huiqi. He didn’t know what Huiqi meant, but the imperial decree could not be violated. He steadily went to Huiqi’s side. Huiqi said, “This glass of wine is called zhenniao. Do you know?”

Baoluo’s heart skipped a beat. Linglong couldn’t help but wonder why the Emperor was lying like this.

“Your Majesty understands. The zhenniao are the leader of all poisons. Your Majesty also understands what you mean. Your Majesty wants me to die, but I have a request. Your Majesty will definitely protect Princess Baoluo after I die. The commoners will go in peace.” After saying that, he raised his glass.

“Baoluo is willing to marry–” I didn’t expect that things would turn out differently, Baoluo actually jumped up from the ground. She stumbled to the front of the Emperor’s wine table. In the moonlight, a string of sparkling tears appeared on Fang Dangling’s cheeks. Linglong looked at Baoluo with distress. Baoluo staggered on the ground and wiped away the tears that she couldn’t hold back. “Baoluo is willing to–kiss.”

Lan Sou Yu’s lips curled into a smile. This smile was filled with satisfaction and ridicule after the scheme succeeded. “Your Majesty, everyone is happy now.”

Huiqi remained calm and raised his glass. “You are a general. You are like me, with a heavy soldier in your hand. Do you know what I would do if I were you?”

Li Chen took the glass and smiled heartily, “If Your Majesty is a minister, why don’t you bring Wu Gou with you? However, I’m willing to die for Baoluo. As long as I protect Baoluo’s reputation, I won’t hesitate.” It’s the same for Ling Yan Pavilion Official to go or not. I don’t care how I will be scolded. Your Majesty, I am willing to drink this cup of wine. “After saying that, I drank the wine into my stomach and moved my throat up and down …
