The First Empress - Chapter 33
Chapter 33 Excellent Reward
He Shufei trembled slightly. She had never thought that Bu Linglong would actually disobey her.
Linglong’s eyes fell on a tree full of flowers. The flower was as big as a cloud, Bunch by bunch, The shadows beneath the tree were almost completely darkened. Linglong wanted to explain these things from another angle. She thought for a moment and sighed, “Actually, why did Sister He do this? Everyone is just the same person, just like the flowers in the sky. Even though it has been prosperous for a lifetime, it is still like passing clouds and smoke.”
Concubine Heshu knew that he wouldn’t be able to get any advantage even if he were to speak so quickly. He clenched his teeth and said, “It’s fine to say that a flower is not a flower. It’s different from others. This palace is different from yours. This palace wants to live a prosperous life, but each of us relies on our own abilities.” As he spoke, he trembled slightly. The bead hairpin on his head was slightly messed up along with his beautiful hair, and his facial features became even more arrogant.
Looking at He Shufei, Linglong naturally couldn’t bear it. First of all, He Shufei was considered her elder, and her age and grade were all higher than her. This was unreasonable for He Shufei to argue forcefully. And if there was a slight quarrel in the garden that was heard, it would really be a bargain for others, and the two of them made a raft for others.
Lan Sou Yu had already left. Otherwise, he would have been able to stand by this sister’s side, Linglong nodded her head and said, “Big Sister Dao understands more than I do, so why bother pretending to be confused? If something like a quarrel happens between me and big sister here, is it big loss to me or big sister? Weigh the pros and cons of big sister being a smart person, or think about it yourself.”
At this point, Linglong turned around and smiled. Indeed, she was victorious but Xinghua. Chen Chongyi had stabilized quite a bit. The fear she had felt earlier had already dissipated like a double happiness in the air.
Actually, Linglong was originally unwilling to charge into He Shufei face to face, but the situation was stronger than others. Sometimes, she had to give someone a head-on blow. Otherwise, she would naturally be rided by someone else and bullied by someone else. Linglong secretly gritted her teeth, hoping that the reasoning she had just said could be completely understood by He Shufei. This was also good. Naturally, the best outcome would be to turn hostilities into compromises, and both of them would laugh it off.
He Shufei’s handsome eyebrows slightly trembled. When she was angry, she often couldn’t hold back her emotions for a long time, When Linglong saw this, she thought it wasn’t good, but she didn’t expect that He Shufei would only be looking forward to Shen Fei for a while before landing on Linglong. “Alright, Bu Jieyu, since you helped Chen Chongyi plead for mercy, then this palace will let bygones be bygones this time. As for the future, it will be a matter of the future. This palace still has one sentence. Let’s all depend on our abilities in the future!”
Linglong nodded her head and did not reply to her words. Instead, she said when Concubine Heshu was about to leave, “Elder sister just danced like a small fan of white orchids. Her slender waist and jade belt danced like a heavenly veil. She is truly a wonderful person. Little sister is also attracted to her. If elder sister is willing to put in her heart, she will not worry about the Emperor’s favor.” The implication of this sentence is that if you have time to fight here, it would be better to think of a way to get the long-haired Wan Jun Xin earlier. This is the real deal.
Of course, Linglong was a smart person. Smart people could only do things in the way they thought they were smart. Moreover, they needed watertight logic to remind the person beside them. After saying that, Linglong saw Chen Chongyi and stretched out her hand.
“Sister, it’s okay.” Her voice was also trembling slightly, indicating the fear in her heart. After all, Concubine Heshu was used to being domineering. Even Ji Zhuhua did not want to compete with Concubine Heshu, let alone a newly promoted Fifth Grade Jieyu.
Looking at Chen Chongyi again, Chen Chongyi’s face was like a silver plate, and her eyes were like apricots. A spring of tears had already flowed out of her eyes, almost falling down. Linglong couldn’t bear to read it. He wiped Chen Chongyi’s cheeks with a handkerchief before saying, “Sister, why bother to get angry over these pieces of anger? It’s just a trick of some palace people. If sister really gets angry, it’ll make these guys happy.”
Chen Chongyi was still as gentle and silent as before. Linglong looked at Chen Chongyi and sighed, “Sister Chongyi, have you forgotten about it again? This harem needs to be tough when playing games. Rather than sitting and getting beaten up, it’s better to stand up and hit people. Linglong knows the truth of Huaibi’s sin, so does sister not know?”
She naturally knew that He Shufei was the one to vent her anger. Beating Chen Chongyi was just a way to shake up the tiger. However, Linglong refused to accept this method to convey her meaning. She was tired of this method. Seeing Chen Chongyi’s amiable face, she felt a little sad. After a long time, she smiled and said, “Isn’t that true?”
Chen Chongyi raised her eyes and said, “You’re right, but my sister didn’t give birth to a dragon heir back then. No, it was my sister who didn’t give birth to a prince. This was the result of being criticized by this fox. Little sister, if you miss the past, you must help me. Help me.” That pair of trembling hands had already reached out and tightly gripped Linglong’s hand.
Linglong looked at Chen Chongyi’s Jiao Ruoqiuyue’s face, full of prayers. Naturally, she couldn’t bear to refuse. She nodded and said, “Sister and sister were originally close like flesh and blood. To say these things, it’s a lot more extraordinary.”
Only then did Chen Chongyi forget about the tears and tears she had just wiped away. She broke into tears and smiled, “With my sister’s words, big sister is happy. I still have to walk left and right.”
Linglong knew that Chen Chongyi was upset, but she could not comfort her. She could only shake Chen Chongyi’s thin palm and say, “Sister, don’t worry. Will there be no days when sister An Fuzunrong will not stand up? Sister, just ride on a donkey and take a look at the song book. Why are you in such a hurry?”
The lotus-like face had an elegant smile on it. Chen Chongyi’s heart was much broader when she saw this smile. She thought that Linglong would be rewarded tonight and serve as a bedservant. Only then did she stand up. “I’ve forgotten the important things when I was talking to my sister. Sister, let’s go first. I wonder what the liveliness in the palace has become.”
A slightly apologetic smile appeared on Linglong’s slightly powdered face. “It’s just that the ones who are lively and not lively are just others. What kind of liveliness do you and I have?”
Chen Chongyi gave Linglong a push and a faint smile appeared on her jade face. She was like a flock of lonely geese high up in the sky, and she passed away in a flash. “I know, you mustn’t hurt yourself too badly. Do less in the future when your relatives are hurting their enemies.”
Chen Chongyi slightly lowered her head and eyebrows, “Sister is right.”
After she finished speaking, Linglong hurriedly followed the pink moths to her palace. The Yunluan Palace was already very lively. Li Sheng walked to the front with a smile and said, “Congratulations, Your Highness.” “Your Highness’ daughter’s body should have returned earlier. However, Eunuch Lu has already sent a message. Your Highness can pick out some good-looking items for the palaces and give them away.”
Linglong’s clear eyes were filled with anticipation. Naturally, Empress Lord from the various palaces had also sent over some Gold Jewels and precious jades. However, Linglong did not look carefully because these Ah Dong items were all indispensable to Linglong’s life. She understood it earlier. However, she pulled Li Sheng and Qin’er over and instructed them to go and take care of them.
Linglong waited until the two of them were busy, then she gazed at Yunluan Palace with affection. She had lived here for a year and a half, but now Yunluan Palace was different from the past and looked much more luxurious.
When the distribution was complete, Linglong felt that the pearl on her head was pressing down on her brain. Li Sheng saw it and quickly walked over with bright eyes and bright teeth to help Linglong sit down. “Your Highness is tired today. Let servant serve your Highness to wash up.”
Linglong looked at Li Sheng beside her and smiled, “There’s nothing wrong with being tired. It’s just that what happened today is something to be congratulated on.”
“Naturally, Your Highness, you will have a day of advancement. I’m afraid there will be a lot of unnecessary troubles. Sometimes, it will be beneficial to lower yourself. However, you can go higher. It’s the water that flows lower. Do you understand what this servant means?” Sheng’s eyes were clear as she looked at Bu Linglong.
Linglong’s eyes also looked back at Sheng, but she felt a little confused. As she turned around and took off her complicated and gorgeous clothes, she nodded her head. “Naturally, I also know that misfortune rests on misfortune, but at that time, I have to pay more attention to it.”
A gust of wind blew through the window. Qin’er hurriedly went over and closed the window sash. The withered branches outside were blown to the ground by the strong wind.
Linglong nodded and said, “Like the wind outside, there is ultimately an ulterior motive. Like the big tree outside, the tree wants to be calm and the wind doesn’t stop.” He smiled bitterly and grabbed Li Sheng’s wrist. “Li Sheng, you have to help me!”
Sheng Xing’s eyes were slightly angry, “Why did Your Majesty say this? This servant naturally serves Your Majesty with all her heart and soul. This servant who can help Your Majesty naturally does so as well.”
Only then did Linglong Apricot Eye Mingren have a flicker of light. Yue Mei Xing closed her eyes slightly and smiled, “I’m relieved to hear your words.”
She had already prepared the soup for the bath. Linglong felt tired and tired. She immediately soaked her body in the fragrant soup like rose dew and closed her eyes.
After bathing, Qin’er brought her clothes over to change with Linglong. Now, it was different from before. Her brocade clothes were red and she took away the rainbow light. Linglong looked at this festive dress and was naturally unwilling to wear it. She smiled faintly and said, “In the future, change into light clothes. Don’t take out such luxurious clothes in the future.”
Qin’er was slightly stunned, and then she came to an understanding. She changed into a pink embroidered robe and walked over, asking, “What do you think of this one, Your Highness?”
Linglong nodded and put on her pearl-colored white crepe skirt. It was exquisite and unparalleled. It was exceptionally beautiful.
“Your Majesty will be here in a moment. Your Majesty, today is your great day. Your Majesty ordered this servant to bring these things over. Your Majesty, please keep them,” said Eunuch Lai Lu as he knelt down with horseshoe sleeves on his knees.
As he spoke, he waved his hand. Royal servant, who was behind him, carried a few gifts and let them in. Linglong frowned. His Majesty’s words were still in his ears, “Don’t be too extravagant in the future.” However, the Emperor was really strict with others and lenient with himself. There were simply too many rewards given to him. Linglong could not take it anymore as she looked at the boxes and trays containing golden pearls and precious jades. The corners of her mouth curled into a bitter smile.
‘”Eunuch, can you take back these rewards?” A pair of light pear eddies appeared on Linglong’s cheeks.
This was the first time that Eunuch Lu had heard of the word’withdraw ‘in so many years by the Emperor’s side. Who doesn’t want to arm themselves these days, Lady Lord in the palaces was waiting for her reward, He didn’t expect to be asked such a question, There was also a guilty smile on his red face. “Your Majesty has said that these are just rewards. If Your Majesty likes them, just keep them. If you don’t like them, just give them to the servant girl. As for taking them back …” The black and curved eyebrows moved awkwardly. “There is no precedent for the Dali Dynasty. Please tell Your Majesty personally later. This old servant is a bit of a whisper.”
Linglong only looked at the golden treasures with her eyes filled with anticipation. She felt that it was slightly inappropriate. Sheng walked over and handed over a cup of tea. “The Empress’s reward is indeed too much. I remember that the Empress’s conferment was only less than 70% of the Empress’s reward. This servant also felt that it was impossible to accept all of it.”
Linglong held the teacup and hesitated a little. After a long time, she finally made up her mind and nodded. “I know what to do. Thank you for reminding me, Li Sheng.”
