The First Empress - Chapter 313
Chapter 313 Empress
Qin’er looked at Linglong, her eyes burning with envy like charcoal fire. “Your majesty has a high bearing, and her good fortune reveals her physique. She is extremely beautiful.” Linglong smiled faintly. With that thought, Ling Long couldn’t help but recall the discussion she had with others a few days ago. Ji Zhu Hua’s appearance was said to be only half as good as Ling Long’s when she first conferred the title. “If you have a high bearing, you don’t have to wear jewelry. Anything is fine. This kind of clothing is like this kind of identity. It’s heavy.” “Ling Long remembered that a few days ago, when she was conferred the title, Ji Zhu Hua was only half as good as well.
Linglong knew that the Emperor had high hopes for her. At the same time, she had to let herself know that her status was rising, just like the gold, silver, and jewelry on her body. It was heavy.
The pair of clear eyes that were as clear as ice and snow looked in front of him and said, “Go ahead. It will be almost time to walk past. No one can wait for this palace.”
Li Sheng and Qin’er hurriedly stretched out their hands to support Linglong’s wrist. Linglong walked out gracefully. The ground was already embroidered. Linglong did not expect that a red carpet had already been laid on the ground from here to Qianyuan Palace. There were red tuberose petals on the carpet. Linglong naturally knew that the result of such extravagance was to let herself know that she had to get more value for money in the future.
A faint smile blossomed on Linglong’s face. Facing the daylight, The skin was even more fair and smooth-tender, After a while, Linglong had already arrived at Beehip Bridge. Crossing the beehip bridge is a watershed, On one side was Kunde Palace, On the other side was the Qianyuan Palace, Although Linglong knew that Kun De Palace had changed owners, Linglong still looked in the direction of Kun De Palace. She looked indifferently. When she first entered the palace, it was the woman in the palace who pushed her to the peak of power. However, she did not become a queen. Linglong reminded herself that no matter how hard it was to leave in the future, she had to be a queen.
Don’t be like Ji Zhuhua, you don’t even know how you died.
After thinking for a while, Linglong couldn’t help but laugh. Qin’er and Li Sheng, who were beside him, also smiled. The master and servant entered the Qianyuan Palace without leaving each other. Imperial concubines had already arrived one after another. Seeing Linglong, they all lowered their heads. Today, Linglong was like a fairy descending into the mortal world. Wherever she went, the women bowed frequently. Regardless of grade or age, they all walked over to stick out candles and bowed. Linglong’s wide sleeves relaxed slightly and said, “Stand up, all of you.”
Linglong knew that there were many variables in the harem, so what could she do even if she was wearing a yellow robe before she was conferred the title?
The crowd gradually increased. Linglong looked back and saw that Lan Sou Yu was also dressed up as a slender waist and walked in with a charming appearance.
Her face was clearly filled with disgust. However, Lan Sou Yu knew better than anyone else that the winner was the king. The so-called “getting more help than helping” had not had a good relationship with many concubines during this period of time, so she could only be weak.
Next, Chen Chongyi walked in. Chen Chongyi looked at Linglong happily. She knew that Linglong could completely protect herself today. She deeply felt that she had not followed her mistakes all these years. She walked over happily and bowed when she saw Linglong. She was supported by Qin’er beside Linglong. “Your Highness is the same person as this palace. Forget it.” At this time, Linglong was no longer worthy of being called her “sister”. This title could only be used privately.
Chen Chongyi looked at Linglong with her big watery eyes and said, “The Empress is finally going to become the head of the harem. Good. From now on, Princess Baoluo and this palace will have their final support.” Linglong smiled and said, “There are many variables in the palace. No one knows victory or defeat until the last moment. Speaking of the Empress, she can only be the Empress after she has the Golden Book, can’t she?” Chen Chongyi smiled auspiciously and said, “Your Highness is overthinking it, overthinking it.”
Linglong nodded, “I hope I’m overthinking it-”
Next came Concubine Guyi. Concubine Guyi seemed to have cried yesterday and today. Her eyes were swollen badly. The reason why Linglong was here was because of Xi and the Crown Prince. She knew, she knew all of this.
At first, Concubine Guyi hated Linglong, but soon, Concubine Guyi found out that Xi and the Crown Prince did not grasp the right time. In this world, the timing was not good. Sometimes, it was just like this, and he did not even know how he died.
If Xi and the Crown Prince grasped the opportunity, they could immediately report Linglong, then Hui Ye’s matter would be exposed to the world.
Concubine Guyi found a piece of paper in Xi He’s house, This piece of paper was clearly written by a highly skilled bodyguard. Concubine Guyi’s heart skipped a beat. The reason why Linglong was able to have the respect she had today was not only because of herself, but also because of her unique network of connections. This network of connections was truly too large, truly beyond anyone’s imagination.
Even the dead Hui Ye would be revived, so Concubine Guyi naturally didn’t dare to harm Linglong. She knew the importance of timing.
“Sister Yi Fei.” Linglong suddenly didn’t know how to greet the woman beside her. However, Concubine Guyi quickly changed into a beautiful smile. A beautiful smile appeared on her slightly rouged face. “Your Highness still calls me a concubine like this. She is a concubine who has lost her life.”
Linglong smiled and said, “Big sister is making fun of me.”
As the two of them were talking, a few women like Ying Ying and Yan Yan also entered. After saluting Ling Long one by one according to Geng Chi, Ling Long nodded. Everyone sat down in their seats and waited for Huiqi to arrive. Ling Long narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the palace gate in front of her.
The Vermillion Flower Gate opened slightly. Huiqi, who was dressed in the same color, walked in. Linglong led everyone to kneel. After everyone knelt, Huiqi walked to Linglong’s side. The Imperial Heavenly Chancellor and the Priestess had already walked over.
Huiqi took out the imperial edict and read it. Linglong slightly knelt down. After the last word was finished, Linglong stood up. She felt that the word “imperial edict” was still lingering around her ears. Linglong smiled and received the imperial edict. Everyone’s gazes fell as well.
The imperial esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed esteemed
It was just a golden book and a golden seal, Linglong tightly gripped the golden seal that symbolized power. She felt like a hot potato and jumped in her palm. Linglong put away all these things. At this time, Huiqi said, “You have already helped me six times. You must be the queen. From now on, you have to set a good example for the six palaces. Do you understand?”
Needless to say, Linglong understood these words in her heart. Huiqi held Linglong’s hand and said, “You are now the Empress above everyone else. If you want to do something, let it go. Not only will I not stop you, I will also help you from the side. Do you know that?” Linglong followed Huiqi’s gaze and saw Lan Sou Yu kneeling on the ground. She nodded.
Huiqi won’t promote Linglong for no reason, There was another kind of bloodlust in this promotion, Linglong knew that Huiqi meant to deal with Lan Sou Yu and the thieves like Lan Sou Yu. Ling Long held the golden seal in her hand and knew her responsibility. Although she had more power in the future, she might be less courageous. Otherwise, it would be even more dangerous in the future.
“Let’s host a banquet. Today is your big day.” Huiqi reminded Linglong. Linglong hurriedly nodded and everyone arrived at the back of Qianyuan Palace.
There’s a huge open space here, The ground was paved with golden bricks and terrazzo. It was almost bare. Royal servant had already arranged the tables and things. Linglong sat beside Huiqi’s left hand. Linglong knew that she could only stay here to accompany her from now on. In her heart, there was an indescribable feeling, and she could not describe it herself.
Along with the rustling sound, everyone had already sat down and covered the curtain outside. Everyone inside sat quietly.
Linglong’s exquisite facial features looked at Huiqi. Huiqi smiled and said, “It’s just a banquet. What are you looking at me for?”
Linglong nodded. Everyone also began to eat, Huiqi looked at the crowd with his deep eyes. He said, “In the future, you must help Linglong more. You can’t play the pipa again, and you can’t bully Linglong to cause trouble. The harem needs to have the manners of the harem. Linglong once participated in the management of the harem. There are some things I don’t want to say anymore. Just do your best. Don’t let me take your shortcomings. At that time, it won’t be good.”
Linglong smiled and said, “Sisters, please help me.”
Lan Sou Yu sneered intentionally or unintentionally. Ling Long pretended that she didn’t see anything. Lan Sou Yu was also very tactful. In a while, she said that she had finished eating and was ready to leave. Linglong Yu Huiqi naturally did not force her to stay. Seeing Lan Sou Yu leave, everyone on this side was also eating without knowing what to eat. Because Huiqi was speaking from above, everyone naturally did not dare to make any big movements. They all chewed carefully and swallowed slowly. The scene looked extremely dull, truly forming the degree of “eating without saying a word”.
Huiqi frowned slightly. She could tell that she wasn’t in a good mood. Linglong hurriedly tried to persuade her, “Your Majesty, drink some pear blossom white. Looking at the Emperor’s worried expression, is there anything wrong with the court?”
Huiqi held the glass that Linglong handed over and said, “It’s just like that in the court. I feel that there is something strange in the Golden Sheng Palace. Every time I walk alone, I feel that someone is staring at me. But when I turn around, I don’t. This matter has caused me to feel uneasy these past few days.” As he spoke, he said, “Or was it the last time you were in the Qianyuan Palace, when there were assassins, you didn’t leave?”
Linglong’s heart skipped a beat, but her face was still as cold as ice. She said, “Your Majesty is overthinking it, but it is only reasonable for any assassin to hide his head and reveal his tail, or for Lan Shuyu to jump over a wall. What does Your Majesty think?” Linglong deduced logically, but after Huiqi was reminded by Linglong, she felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart. Perhaps it was Lan Sou Yu.
