The First Empress - Chapter 32
Chapter 32 A Glimpse
Chamomile spat out yellow flowers and gave Huan Luo clothes. Linglong was naturally happy to get her first promotion when she was in the Golden Wind Jade Dew, but when she was happy, there were many people in the palace who were unhappy.
The Empress smiled and said this to Linglong before she walked away. Linglong wanted to tease Chen Chongyi with a few words, but she didn’t see Chen Chongyi.
Originally, Chen Chongyi had already left the arena dejectedly. While secretly hurting her feelings, she felt that it was always not good for her to stay here. She had already left. Originally, she had nothing to say after kneeling down. All that remained was the words of the Empress.
Lan Sou Yu and Concubine Heshu arrived outside at the same time. Lan Sou Yu fiercely glanced at a kind of delicate red calyx that grew out of the beginning of September and said unfairly, “Big sister, do you see it?” “This is all the work of the Empress. If she relied solely on the power of the clan and other matters, Bu Linglong would probably be silent for the rest of her life. However, the Empress was the one who helped her.”
He Shufei’s beautiful face also had an unpleasant expression. She was once as gorgeous as Linglong, but one thing about her gorgeous cheeks was that Hui Qi was tired of watching them. She understood it herself. She understood a lot of things in the harem. If she didn’t understand, she could only tangle with Yu Zi. At present, Lan Sou Yu was in such a situation.
Her dazzling eyes shone over and she looked at Lan Sou Yu with a smile, “You have to be careful. Aren’t you very good at competing for favor? Why hasn’t there been any movement recently?”
Lan Shuyu’s peach-like face was a little embarrassed and indignant. “Sister, what are you talking about? Are you mocking me?” There was a smile on Concubine Heshu’s delicious face. The faint smile was far from reaching the corner of his eyes, but it was faintly like vanilla that was spreading to the corner of his mouth. He then said, “So, what you should see through is that you need to keep a person’s heart.”
“Little sister also claims to be a natural beauty of the Six Dynasties Fen Dai, but how can you keep a person’s heart? Please tell me, so that little sister knows what she will do in the future.”
Concubine Heshu smiled embarrassedly. “The ones playing in the palace are all dragons, so I said that my sister should hurry up.” After she finished speaking, she covered her lips and smiled. The smile that was like a spring peach blossom made Lan Sou Yu feel uncomfortable. She wished that she could reach out and completely tear the hypocritical mask on her face, and then stomp on it fiercely. However, he still needed to make use of Concubine Heshu. After all, Concubine Heshu’s father’s own uncle was the Minister of Rites of the current dynasty. If he joined hands with his father, the Empress would not dare to touch him for a moment. Even the Emperor would have to be wary of him.
At present, the empress’ brother and Lan Sou Yu’s father, Lan Zheng Lin, could be said to be on the same rope. If Concubine Heshu’s Minister of Rites and Fathers could join forces, they would naturally form an indestructible net. One end of the net could be held in the hands of Lan Sou Yu or Lan Mei He. Once there was wind and grass, they could cast the net. Once they wanted to threaten someone, they could pull the net back.
Thinking of this, Concubine Heshu smiled. She did not want to return to either side so quickly. She still needed to see the situation clearly.
After all, in the imperial palace, the situation was always stronger than others.
The corner of Lan Meihe’s mouth was more beautiful than Hua Jiao’s. He looked at Lan Sou Yu and smiled. “It’s been a long time since you’ve accepted your kindness. Work harder. At that time, no one will be able to compare to you and me. I’ll go back first.”
Lan Shuyu could only smile, but there was a hint of irony in her heart. Since everyone knew the method, why didn’t you go?
Concubine Heshu provoked Lan Sou Yu and walked into the palace alone. Because today was just a title, he did not bring the palace maid over. He walked alone and laughed secretly, thinking about something in his heart.
At this time, she accidentally bumped into a person, or rather, this person bumped into her own body. No matter who was wrong, He Shufei’s eyebrows were filled with rage. On her beautiful face, there was an ugly smile. Today, it was considered a narrow path for enemies. The person she met was actually Chen Chongyi.
Chen Chongyi was in a very bad mood today. Her heart was filled with jealousy. She naturally lowered her head and wanted to go to the palace earlier. As long as Linglong could help Baoluo, it was fine. After all, she had long since disappeared from the pampering team.
Just as she was walking slowly, she suddenly collided with her body. Both of them were slightly stunned. He Shufei’s pretty face looked at Chen Chongyi’s slightly aged face and sneered, “Isn’t this Empress Chen Chongyi? She’s in such a hurry to get there, so she’s not afraid of falling down. After all, she’s a mother. She doesn’t know how serious she is.”
About ten years ago, when the two of them were together in front of Huiqi, they were both Tao Zhiyaoyao’s age. Because Chen Chongyi had been doted on repeatedly, the relationship between the two of them had collapsed. However, the harem was filled with discord between face and heart. Chen Chongyi was not afraid of Concubine Heshu, but because Princess Baoluo had never wanted to quarrel with anyone.
“It’s my fault. Please forgive me, sister.” Chen Chongyi was about to dodge when she finished speaking, but an “elder sister” suddenly gave He Shufei a layer of black silk on her beautiful face. That indescribable humiliation was like a bug that had just climbed up from the crack in the ground. He Shufei retreated repeatedly, but she immediately reacted, “Chen Chongyi, what did you say?”
Only then did Chen Chongyi realize that she had accidentally uncovered Concubine Heshu’s scar. She replied hesitantly, “It’s my fault. Little sister, don’t be angry.” Looking at Concubine Heshu’s face, Although Shengyan Xianzi was still old, she could not be said to be the same. After all, once she was around 30 years old, a woman was a creature that could not be seen. Especially Concubine Heshu, she could not allow others to mention her age now. A cold smile appeared on her slightly powdered face. “Are you deliberately provoking me?”
Chen Chongyi also had a layer of black gas on her face, but she resisted it for Princess Baoluo’s sake. Even if others wouldn’t think of a way to hurt her, it was still very easy to hurt a child. She could only take a step back. “It’s my fault. Your Highness has forgiven me for the Emperor’s sake, right?”
Concubine Heshu’s eyebrows were trembling, and the hairpin on his head was also trembling. After a while, elder sister and younger sister clearly did it intentionally. The red pink cyan moth trembled fiercely, “Impudent, Chen Chongyi, you really are impudent.”
Chen Chongyi’s Zizhi brows furrowed. He had already changed his tone just now, but was he going to change his tone now? Could it be that he had to address her as his little niece to stop? Forget it, Chen Chongyi was too lazy to talk to the Hedong Lion. He was about to turn around when he was stopped. “Are you going to leave if you don’t speak clearly?”
Chen Chongyi said calmly, “It’s already clear, isn’t it?”
“You” He Shufei was about to reach out and hit Chen Chongyi, but was stopped by another pair of hands.
She understood that hitting Chen Chongyi was equivalent to lowering Bu Linglong’s prestige. This way, she could set an example for others. In fact, Chen Chongyi had not offended her in all these years, but today was another day.
Seeing her master, Bu Jieyu, who had just been promoted, she looked up in confusion. “So it’s Bu Jieyu. Sister Jieyu, are you going to take care of these things too?” She asked, looking at the pair of silk, mud, gold, and silver ruyi satin sleeves.
Linglong lowered her head to look at He Shufei. Logically speaking, she did not have the right to interfere in this matter. However, He Shufei was indeed a bit too much. She could not continue watching.
Linglong’s reserved eyes shook, “Aren’t you afraid that the Empress will blame me for fighting like this in the inner courtyard of the Deep Palace? Even if the Empress doesn’t blame me, sister’s morality has already been ruined. If someone tells the Emperor, wouldn’t it be a big setback?”
Actually, Linglong was also a little scared. If she couldn’t stop Concubine Heshu this time, she could only use her eggs to hit rocks. However, Chen Chongyi had always been on good terms with her, and she still had to do her utmost.
Imperial concubine He Shu’s exquisite and gorgeous eyebrows raised, “Don’t always use the name of the Empress to scare me. Even if I hit Chen Chongyi, it would only be a small matter. As for you, Sister Jieyu, if you try to stop me like this, it would be the following offenders, right?”
Linglong turned her gaze and landed on He Shufei, “Why are the weeds so vast? Are the poplars rustling? This palace only wants to let sister know one thing. We are both harem sisters, so why are we in such a hurry to fry each other?”
Hearing this, He Shufei’s agile tongue instantly tied a knot.
