The First Empress - Chapter 305
Chapter 305 Cats
“Cats–cats?” Lan Sou Yu couldn’t help but sigh slightly as she looked at Ling Long. “Your Majesty misunderstood. Your Majesty is angry. Your Majesty …” Lan Sou Yu pointed at Huiqi in the warmth pavilion. Lan Sou Yu had never been so close to Lan Sou Yu before. Lan Sou Yu could almost see the reflection in Ling Long’s eyes that was slowly enlarging. “You, what are you doing?”
“Your Majesty is a man of his own accord. Is it still unclear where Your Majesty does not like Your Majesty?” Linglong said sternly, “The thing that Your Highness likes to do the most in her life is to borrow a knife to kill people. Does Your Highness really think that she is omnipotent with the imperial sword in her hand?” Or does the Empress like to marry someone every time? Actually, Han Xiuyi is innocent, isn’t she? “Only Your Highness is a middle-aged woman. Your Highness has come here to see if the position of this palace has fallen by a lot since the Emperor was bedridden. Your Highness is worried. This palace is very much alive.” After Linglong finished speaking, she said coldly, “It’s just that Your Highness shouldn’t be so clever. Instead of being so clever, she is mistaken. How could Your Highness be so kind as to teach Princess Zhenxi wrong? Isn’t Your Highness afraid of misleading her children? Or is what Your Highness is thinking about is a war between the Dali Dynasty and the Western barbarians? What is Your Highness thinking?”
Lan Sou Yu did not expect that not only did Ling Long not decline, but even more so, That domineering face was also terrifying. Lan Sou Yu almost fell backwards. She didn’t expect Ling Long to catch Lan Sou Yu so quickly. Lan Sou Yu looked at Ling Long and said, “Lady Concubine Yan, you misunderstood. Han Xiu Yi is to blame. She is clearly herself … I didn’t do anything when I came to the Emperor to tell her the story.”
“Do you think these things can be concealed? Do you think they can be concealed?” “Han Xiuyi told me when she died that you told her to do this. Han Xiuyi believed that you were actually stirring up a person like this …” Linglong said aggressively as she stared at Lan Sou Yu with her burning eyes.
“Han Xiuyi is here for Han Qi, the relationship between Han Qi and the Empress, do you still want me to talk about it here?” Lan Shuyu’s arrogance surged. She thought that this sentence would poke Linglong’s heart out. However, Linglong had long since calmed down. In the palace, any rumors would stop at the wise. Linglong was well versed in the Samadhi. Today, she was even more calm. She smiled and said, “What are you reminding me of?”
Lan Sou Yu sneered, “I’m afraid Your Highness sometimes recalls the general, right? If it weren’t for General Han’s protection, I wonder if Your Highness would be able to return after leaving the palace that time.”
“Don’t insult anyone. General Han and I are innocent. If you do anything wrong, I won’t indulge you. Since I can let Concubine Mude torture you, you can do the same.” Linglong stared at Lan Sou Yu with her cold eyes and said sternly, “Don’t insult anyone. General Han and I are innocent. If you do anything wrong, I will definitely not indulge you.”
“You, what are you going to do?” Lan Sou Yu became slightly afraid. Ling Long smiled and said, “I didn’t do anything. I just reminded the Empress not to forget her identity. There are some things the Empress must do to slander this palace. In the end, you must not plead for mercy. This palace has always been unselfish!”
“You, you really …” Lan Sou Yu couldn’t catch it in one breath. Ling Long almost fell down again. She reached out again to stabilize Lan Sou Yu’s body and said, “You go, I don’t want to see you. Also-” Ling Long pointed at the Cordyceps in Lan Sou Yu’s hand and said, “This medicine is useless. Could it be that you sent it over without any research? It’s just a gift for her to give? I don’t understand at all.”
Lan Shuyu saw Linglong teaching her and smiled bitterly. “It’s not as good as the Empress. She will still be the Empress’ pet until she dies.” Hearing Lan Sou Yu’s sharp smile, Ling Long kindly reminded, “Be careful of the vine on the stone.” After that, she walked into the inner hall. The warmth pavilion was far away from the entrance of the hall. Linglong knew that Huiqi could not hear their discord just now, so she softened her face a lot.
Lan Sou Yu hurriedly walked out of the hall. She was still thinking of Ling Long’s last sentence, “Little Heart on the Vine”. However, just as she walked out of the hall, Xue Li, who was standing on the wall outside, fell down obliquely. Could it be that there’s still some unfathomable danger here? “I haven’t finished thinking about it yet, The vine shook slightly. A cat had already descended. It began to bite at Lan Sou Yu’s flag. Lan Sou Yu was so scared that she hurriedly threw the cat off her head. Shaling came to help Lan Sou Yu clean up the mess. Ling Long Yu Huiqi heard Lan Sou Yu’s hoarse cries from outside. Ling Long then said, “I’ve disturbed the Emperor.”
Huiqi’s crouching silkworm eyebrows slightly trembled. He smiled and said, “That’s why people who often walk at night are always prone to encounter ghosts. Princess Zhenxi was instigated by Lan Sou Yu. Why did a good princess like Lan Sou Yu let her catch so many cats in? Now, it’s pretty good. Uh, she can’t bear to be disturbed.” Linglong smiled and pursed her lips, “What exactly is the Emperor doing? It’s just that Elder Blue Pavilion has started recruiting again. The Emperor just told Li Chen to eradicate it. Why bother coming like this?”
Linglong looked at Huiqi gently. Huiqi pointed out of the window and said, “If you can tolerate it, then you can’t tolerate it.” Linglong smiled. When she was with Lan Sou Yu just now, she was the one who played tricks. Otherwise, Lan Sou Yu would not have encountered a cat falling from the sky by chance. Linglong had been paying attention since she met the cat last time, There was a piece of dried fish in his sleeve, When there were too many cats, Linglong threw the dried fish out. No matter how ruthless the cat was, it would not notice people. On the contrary, they would come over and pity her pitifully. Linglong had tried her best, so every time she hid something in her sleeve. This time, she was determined to teach Lan Sou Yu a lesson, so she pinned the dried fish in her sleeve to her head. That was why she let out that earth-shattering exclamation.
Linglong smiled and Huiqi held Linglong’s hand. “Are you happy?” Linglong said, “Just now, the people in the Linglong Imperial Cuisine Room cooked all the dishes that the Emperor liked. That’s why I’m happy.” Huiqi smiled and said, “Really?”
“Really–”
The two of them were talking, Dinner was ready for a while. Linglong and Huiqi arrived outside. Outside was a huge table. The red sandalwood was already dazzling with vegetables. The girls on the table were all light-hearted women. Their hands and feet were quick and clean. Huiqi was waiting by the side. Linglong was also helping. After a while, all the delicacies had been laid out. There were all kinds of birds and beasts on the table. The Emperor naturally didn’t feel anything about eating 10,000 yuan a day. Linglong was used to it. The two sat down and Huiqi said, “You don’t need to worry about me. You can eat whatever you like. I don’t need you to set up vegetables for me.” As she spoke, she began to pick her own dishes and said, “That’s good. Don’t let me do it.”
Huiqi smiled and said, “You are very good at making fun of me today.”
“Your Majesty is ill. The patient is very big.” Linglong smiled and stood up, “Let Linglong cloth the Emperor’s vegetables, or else Linglong will not know the taste of the food.” Huiqi said, “Everyone knows the taste of the delicacies from the Imperial Cuisine Room. You are the only one who doesn’t know the taste of the delicacies. You also make me feel very interesting.” Linglong laughed to herself. Such dishes were full of color, fragrance, and taste, but each dish was almost the same as Yang Yuhuan’s lychee. Bao Si’s words about the dukes of the Fire Beacon Play made her feel happy. Although Linglong was from a large family, she had known the hardships of the people since she was young, so she could not do such a thing.
Huiqi looked at Linglong helping Bu Cai and was obviously very happy. “You’re quite virtuous. My concubines are all like you, or half of you. I’m also relieved of worries. I have to take care of the harem as well as the previous dynasty. My heart is in chaos.” “Your Majesty, there are concubines in the harem. Could it be that concubines aren’t taking good care of you?”
‘”Very well–” Huiqi held his bowl in his hand and smiled. “But one thing, you’re too hard on yourself. You can’t be too extravagant, but you can’t be too shabby, can you?” Linglong giggled, “Your Majesty, eat. You’re used to teasing your concubines.”
After the silent meal, Linglong asked others to revoke the cup and plate. However, the hall was extremely dark. There was no place for the two of them to stand. Linglong smiled skillfully and said, “The Emperor and his concubines should go outside for a walk.” Originally, it was the days just after the frost had fallen, and it was already starting to get cold outside. However, it was so cold outside that it was very comfortable. Huiqi put on his clothes and went outside with Linglong.
Linglong naturally had a purpose. She led Huiqi to an alley in front of her. She had just entered the alley and there was nothing inside. After a while, the waiter beside her began to chase after the cat. Linglong wanted Huiqi to see how many cats there were. Huiqi frowned and looked in front of her without moving a mountain. He asked, “Where is Eunuch Lu?”
Eunuch Lu waved his fly whisk and walked over. He was so tired that he was panting. Huiqi said, “Do you know your sin?”
Eunuch Lu had already wanted to get rid of these cats, but he couldn’t get a word from Huiqi. Now that he saw Huiqi’s anger, he naturally knelt down trembling. “This servant knows his guilt, this servant deserves to die. There are too many cats, disturbing the Holy Chariot.” Huiqi waved his wide sleeve and said, “I don’t want to see a cat in the palace. Remember, I don’t want to see a cat. Do you know how to do it? Don’t you need me to tell you again?” Eunuch Lu was frightened. There was no need for him to think twice. He hurriedly stood up and said, “Your Majesty, this old servant will definitely capture all the cats today.”
Linglong saw that her goal had been accomplished and said, “Eunuch Lu is also lacking in strength. Actually, Eunuch Lu has already captured her before, but there are a lot of them that cannot be captured. Therefore, it is not that Eunuch Lu did not do these things. Let Eunuch Lu make up for his mistakes. However, it is just the same. It is good that the Emperor is not angry.” Huiqi nodded and pointed to the front. “Let’s go there.”
Linglong nodded and went to the front with Huiqi. In front of her was a natural area made of artificial mountains and stones. There was a man-made lake where vegetation covered the air, birds and fish came and went. The scenery of the dwarf house facing the water could not be blown in. Linglong looked closer to her Yunluan Palace and said, “Qin’er, go and give me that heavy fur. Hurry up.” Qin’er walked over. Linglong stuffed something into Qin’er’s hand as fast as she could. Although Qin’er was puzzled, she hurriedly took a few steps. Linglong leaned against Huiqi’s shoulder. The two of them swam around by watching the fish in the water. Linglong smiled and said, “Your Majesty, look at a side lotus in the water.” Huiqi looked and saw that it was indeed Lotus Blossom Blossom Blossom Blossom Blossom Blossom Blossom Blossom Blossom Blossom Blossom Blossom.
Linglong smiled. A father-in-law beside her had already walked over. Linglong said, “How is the crab this year? The ninth day of September in Gaoqiu. Not only is it the cornus fruit that is inserted into the high altitude in Chongyang, it is also the fat crab. How come no one has caught the crab?” After Linglong finished asking Xu, the supervisor hurriedly said, “Go catch him now, go now.” ‘”The Emperor has never seen a crab before,” said Linglong. “It might be fun to have a look today-what is the Emperor going to eat tonight, a steamed bun or a crab dumpling?” Huiqi was so amused that he smiled and said, “It’s still the Crab Steamed Bun.”
Linglong knew that Huiqi lacked interest, so she changed her mind to make Huiqi happy. Moreover, she could not let Huiqi leave so quickly. Otherwise, a series of good shows would have been arranged in vain, Linglong and the others were anxious. After a while, Qin’er hurriedly ran over, Ling Long put the heavy fur on Ling Long’s shoulder and held the note handed over by Qin’er. The note said, “Things are in order.” Ling Long hid the note and asked for a fishing rod from the waiter. “This is the Lonely Boat Rainbow Lee Weng, fishing for the cold river snow alone. The Emperor must have never caught a crab before. Would the fisherman be willing to give it a try?” Huiqi nodded. She was interested. Linglong hurriedly handed the fishing rod to Huiqi. Huiqi grabbed the fishing rod and threw it into the water. Immediately, someone got into the water and hung a crab that had been caught on the hook.
