The First Empress - Chapter 30
Chapter 30 Concealed Pearl
Huiqi held onto Bu Linglong’s soft catkin. In public, Linglong was inevitably a little cowardly, but it was not good for her to go against the Sacred Will. The emperor pulled Linglong from the inside of the platform to the outside. She ignored everyone’s different expressions and blushed slightly. She looked around and saw that the empress was keeping a calm smile on her face as she stared at him.
As a result, the smiling vortex on her face rippled like a ray of light. However, looking at the other side, there were the Ningguta clan, He Shufei, Lan Zhaoyuan, and the others who hated her so much that they gnashed their teeth in anger. They lowered their heads exquisitely. Actually, she didn’t want to compete for favor like this. Her thoughts were always different from reality.
Under the embroidery curtain, Empress Ji Zhuhua’s smile was like a lotus blossom. She frequently looked sideways. Huiqi looked at Bu Linglong and said, “Well played Xiao Yin, and the words she said were also very clever. I am very happy, but I don’t know anything about it. How did you know that I like ‘Calm Waves’?”
This was a melody that Huiqi had loved since she was a child. She had never said it at any time. Probably no one knew about it, but she was clearly hit by someone. If it wasn’t for the fact that she really had an unexpected and exquisite mind, she would have done it intentionally.
Hui Qi was naturally also afraid of the latter. If it was good to twist the situation, then she would not be able to hold back a bit if she did it intentionally.
The Empress snuggled up against the duck’s fragrant cheeks, and her eyes moved repeatedly as she approached.
Linglong still lowered her head and didn’t dare to speak. After a while, she knelt on the ground and said, “Linglong asks the Emperor to atone for her sins so that she can express her true feelings.”
Everyone in the harem was extremely meticulous, and they were well aware of the principle of keeping their mouths shut since ancient times.
Only Linglong, who had just entered the palace, would not lie. After being pulled up by Huiqi, she said, “I came to Cloud Hall a few days ago to practice playing and accidentally saw a letter the Emperor left behind when I was a child …”
Linglong did not know that this was an outrageous thing. She said to herself, “This concubine has overstepped her limits and accidentally read the letter. Only then did she understand the Emperor’s thoughts. The Emperor has offended this concubine, and this concubine is unable to argue with him.”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Huiqi’s expression. Linglong was not born to cause trouble, nor would she chew her tongue for the benefit of herself and her family. So it’s best to spit out what happened quickly. Besides, it’s best not to beat around the bush in front of Huiqi about what kind of person Huiqi is.
Even Linglong now felt that the Emperor would be able to see through her heart when she became a crystal heart glass person.
The cold fragrance and fragrance emitted by the chrysanthemum was at the tip of his nose. The autumn intent seemed to instantly scatter all over the courtyard. Huiqi’s expression changed. He did not expect the lightning to be furious. Instead, he held Linglong’s hand and said, “How could I blame you? It was just an unintentional mistake. Your willingness to speak the truth is a sign of your concern and consideration for me. I am very gratified.”
The creases on her skirt moved. Linglong raised her head and looked at Huiqi. Her cold eyes were like a moon shooting down a cold river. She was cold but calm. However, her words were still gentle. It was as if she could drip water. Linglong smiled faintly, “It’s good that the Emperor didn’t blame her. Linglong was overjoyed.”
Huiqi did not notice Linglong’s abnormal state. In fact, Linglong was only thinking of luck. This was a bit of a game. Now, she was still worried, but at last, a big rock landed on the ground. Huiqi picked one of the golden chrysanthemums from the basin beside him and pinned it on her crow-black temples. He smiled and said, “You are different from them. I like you. Prepare tonight. After tomorrow morning, I will promote you to rank five Jieyu. What do you think?”
Bu Linglong laughed and said, “Your Majesty alone makes the decision–”
Huiqi pulled Linglong over thoroughly. She looked at the smile on her cheeks and the flowers she had just pinned. She smiled and said, “Beauty has been in the hall for three years now, smelling the fragrance. You must be flattered. Go back and prepare.”
‘”I’m going to leave–” Linglong replied softly and was supported by Qin’er.
When she saw Ji Zhuhua waving her hand, Linglong was surprised and prepared to run away. However, the other party was the head of the First Palace, so she could only walk over.
The Empress first looked at Linglong’s sketchy figure and then said, “Today is more than usual. Not only is the Emperor happy, but even I am proud. But speaking of which, when did Jieyu learn ‘Calm Wave’? This can be considered a relic of the previous dynasty. You really have that Linglong’s thoughts.”
Linglong felt that it was inappropriate. First, she had not even conferred the title of Empress yet and had openly called herself that. Second, she did not have any real thoughts of being exquisite. She was truly only a crooked champion. Moreover, there were many twists and turns in her actions. Naturally, the Empress played an important role.
Linglong showed a kind of fear and shame. She looked at Empress Ji Zhuhua and nodded slightly. “First of all, this concubine hasn’t been conferred the title yet. For the time being, Empress shouldn’t call her concubine like this.” “Second, the song is just a distortion. It was originally because” Whoever is in charge of the ups and downs “is too difficult to play. This concubine is subordinate and does not want to coincide with the Emperor’s thoughts, but this concubine is self-defeating.”
The Empress did not say a word and quietly listened to Linglong’s words. She moved charmingly and stretched out her hand to graze a strand of green silk on her cheek behind her ear. “Get up, no matter what, you should be happy. “Tonight’s green-headed card is yours. However, it is very important to hold Ying Baotai. It is easy to compete for favor, but difficult to consolidate it. You are the only one who can grasp the subtleties. This palace can only help you here.”
Empress Ji Zhu Hua’s faint eyebrows were like autumn water. She looked at Ling Long earnestly. Ling Long felt that her eyes were also shining with precious light like a crescent moon in the sky. Her smile was also meaningful. Although she was instructing, there was still a kind of transcendent majesty and sadness in her voice. Ling Long could only nod her head, “I know.”
The Empress stretched out her hand. Perrin had already helped Ji Zhuhua up with her hand. She placed an agate armor on Ji Zhuhua’s hand. “Don’t be tired. You need to think carefully about this palace’s words. This huge palace is like an Asura field chasing after each other. One step at a time, one step at a time, one step at a time. If you’re not careful, it will be destroyed …”
As the Empress spoke, she began to walk out. The wind in her eyes slanted and she handed it over. Jade-Muscle Companion Light Wind had already walked forward. Linglong hurriedly followed and said, “Although this concubine is stupid, the Empress will still tell this concubine to understand.”
“That’s it.” Ji Zhu Huawei’s oppressive pupils landed for the last time, “Go back, don’t stand in the cold breeze’s mouth.”
Only then did Linglong turn around. The huge Calyx Pavilion was now empty and seemed to be empty. As the wind blew past, she couldn’t help but feel a chill all over her body. Qin’er put on Linglong’s cloak and walked outside.
Ji Zhuhua also had his boss’s suspicions in his heart. Linglong had always been meticulous and measured. Today, it didn’t seem like a sudden idea. Could it be that she had already figured it out?
No, Bu Linglong is just a mere genius. With such a status, it is impossible for her to obtain this information. Then, is she thinking too much? The Empress thought for a while. If this woman controlled it well, it would naturally be extremely good. If she did not control it well, then the consequences would be unimaginable. She would be arrogant and untamable.
Ji Zhuhua gradually restrained the smile at the corner of his mouth and said to Perrin, “Find someone to stare at Bu Jieyu from behind. I always feel that Bu Jieyu is not as simple as I imagined.”
Perrin nodded and smiled, “This servant will go prepare now.”
When Huiqi reached out to pull Linglong’s wrist, Lan Shuyu couldn’t sit still anymore. At the same time, she pulled her cousin Lan Meihe’s wrist and sliced the emperor’s bright yellow figure with the wind in her eyes. At the same time, she fiercely stared at the exquisite figure that had become strange because she played “Flat Wave”. She said gloomily, “Sister, let’s go. Do you still see this bitch make a fool of herself?”
As the faint silver moonlight fell, Concubine Heshu was slightly stunned. This so-called sister had never made any intimate gestures with him. What was she doing today? However, he soon understood that Left was just a perfect match to deal with the current common enemy.
Imperial concubine He Shu sneered and said, “What’s the value of a little whore? I’m not afraid of this little whore, sister.”
Concubine Heshu had already been conferred the title of Shu Fei last year. She was a rank four official. Naturally, she had intentionally or unintentionally revealed her superiority and nobility.
Before Lan Zhaoyuan could change her clothes, the silver flowers on her white clothes were like a flowing river. Inside her exquisite clothes, there was actually such a sinful soul and ugly body.
He Shufei stood up and scolded coldly. Because the two of them were standing in this room, they wouldn’t let others hear the bad words.
Imperial concubine He Shu’s Gong Yu was dancing around her waist. Lan Zhaoyuan smiled and said, “Sister, don’t think nonsense. Let’s go. After all, today is inferior.”
Concubine Heshu floated out of the dust like a fairy, but the words in her mouth were like a knife. “I’ll just ride a donkey and watch the song book. Who knows when she will fall. However, it seems to me that this woman has a queen …”
Speaking of this, Lan Zhaoyuan hurriedly covered her sister’s mouth. She had no taboos, but she did not want to bring disaster to the fish in the pond. It would naturally be a sin of disrespect to talk about these things in the harem if others heard about them.
The white tassels on Lan Sou Yu’s body danced in the wind, her face pale like a bright moon in the sky. “Sister, don’t you want to die? To actually say these things here, it’s better to go to the Imperial Garden. Right now, there are few people who can breathe it out quickly, so it’s better to work out a long-term plan with your sister.”
Lan Meihe sneered, “You are not afraid of this old woman. Since sister said this, we can only go to a secluded place to talk.”
Concubine Heshu also wanted to sneer, This Lan Sou Yu was nominally her younger sister, but she had never said a word from the hidden residence to the palace. It could even be said that she belonged to two extremes. She was the opposite. Today, she suddenly expressed her willingness to join hands with her. No matter what she did, she could perfectly match up with Lan Zhaoyuan’s current status and status.
Lan Mei He carried this thought and Lan Sou Yu into the forest of the Imperial Garden. The two of them were afraid that the secret would be known, so they had their maids watch from afar.
Sha Ling and Lan Mei He’s maidservant, Ming Xiang, stood far away. He Shu Fei’s skirt moved like water, and Lan Sou Yu’s eyebrows could not hide a sense of anxiety. “Sister, think about it, what should we do now?”
Concubine Heshu smiled loftily and arrogantly. The corner of her mouth was like a perfect gardenia flower. A slightly cold cold intent pierced through Lan Sou Yu’s body. She felt that this smile was much cooler than the bright moon in the sky.
The cold gaze seemed to have no focal length as he held the only calendula growing out of the weeds in his hand. “Mu Xiu must be destroyed by Lin Feng. You and I will work together to get rid of Bu Linglong first, and then think of a way to get rid of this old woman, Empress Ji Zhuhua. The rest is not hard to imagine.”
That’s right, it’s not hard to imagine that without their strong enemies, everything would be their own, but their thoughts might not be so easy to carry out. The relationship in the palace was so complicated that no one knew where the roots of a tree grew.
Hearing this, Lan Sou Yu couldn’t help but be secretly shocked. This woman was much more powerful than she had imagined.
Imperial concubine He Shu threw the flower that she had just picked on the ground, and then slowly crushed it with her feet. Only then did she smile with satisfaction, “Isn’t that right? You think the same way, don’t you?”
Lan Sou Yu looked at Concubine Heshu’s ice-cold eyes and felt a little unfamiliar. This woman had entered the palace a little earlier than she had. Her heart had already become as hard as iron. Lan Sou Yu hurriedly nodded her head and said, “Just do as Big Sister said.”
The coldness in He Shufei’s eyes made people feel terrified. After a long time, Lan Meihe said, “Sister, do you really think Bu Linglong is very simple?”
Lan Sou waved her jade wreath and walked in front of Concubine Heshu. Concubine Heshu could only feel the dark fragrance behind her and turned around. What she saw was Lan Shuyu’s slightly stupefied face. A faint fragrant breeze gently slid past her nose like a sharp knife. Her thin lips moved and she asked, “Isn’t that so?” Don’t forget, Bu Linglong’s father is just a small official with sesame seeds and mung beans. What is there to be afraid of when a member of the Imperial Academy waits for an imperial edict? It’s probably because elder sister thinks too much. “
