The First Empress - Chapter 34
Chapter 34 How Long Are the Moths
Inside the room, there was an instant ruckus, Linglong wanted to wait in the back, Afraid of delaying the reception, he could only forcefully stay here and wait, Zhiyi looked at the golden jewelry all over the ground while thinking carefully. Such a sudden favor would naturally be regarded as a thorn in the side. If only Empress Ji Zhuhua could help him. Otherwise, he would be in a dilemma like Chen Chongyi on his own.
However, she was different from Chen Chongyi in that she wanted to protect her family, while Chen Chongyi wanted to protect one of her daughters.
The clear string in the hall moved. In front of the hall, Chen Xi and Linglong felt uneasy and illusory. It was as if these things had descended from the sky and did not belong to them at all. Actually, it really descended from the sky. This kind of honor was simply unexpected. Even Bu Linglong had doubts in her heart as she guessed what the Empress meant.
Cuiyu’s tassel moved. The Emperor had already walked in. Linglong hurriedly kowtowed with the busy eunuchs and maids. “This concubine greets the Emperor. The Emperor is very blessed.”
The emperor helped Linglong up and asked, “Is this a good place? In the future, we need to find the Shanggong Bureau to repair the Cloud Phoenix Palace.”
Linglong’s seductive eyes didn’t dare to look up, because she naturally had to look at the Emperor’s face if she wanted to make a condition. She inadvertently looked up and saw Hui Qi’s black and white eyes, clearly rippling with a reassuring and intoxicating smile.
Linglong slowly stood up and said, “Your Majesty, this concubine has something to ask of you. May I know if Your Majesty will comply with this concubine? Naturally, it’s a small matter, but it’s such a big matter here, and it needs to be solved urgently.”
Huiqi looked at Linglong’s charm and asked with a smile, “Tell me.”
Linglong turned around. “The Emperor also taught me not to be too extravagant in everything, but the Emperor’s reward does not count. I am terrified, I do not know what to say,” Linglong said. Hui Qilian immediately knelt on the golden brick floor and hurriedly supported her. He pulled her pearl-colored ribbon with one hand and said, “I’m just telling others a story. You must have heard the story of the Golden Room hiding a spoiled beauty. I’m just following the example of the previous emperor and winning a smile from the beauty.”
Linglong did not expect that her prayers had not been honored. Naturally, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she did not expect Emperor Huiqi’s expression.
He held Linglong’s long black hair in his hand and smiled faintly, “Indeed, I didn’t see the wrong person. If you dare to speak to me in such a manner as to defy the world’s condemnation, I am also extremely happy. Logically speaking, the Venerable One can’t reject you. However, since you have spoken, I will take back some of you.”
Linglong lowered her head happily. “Thank you, Your Majesty.” Hui Qi had already held the warm hand that looked like white jade in his hand and pulled it into the bedroom hall.
Beside the golden well railing, there was Yu Yi, a cold branch on the sycamore tree.
Huiqi looked at Linglong’s face, her eyes full of sweetness and slyness. She was a little panicked. Huiqi had already reached out and slowly took off Linglong’s coat, and then took off her tunic …
The current Bu Linglong only allowed people to take a glance, and probably all three souls and seven souls would fly away as well.
Huiqi held Linglong’s hand and said, “Are you afraid?”
This was the second bedtime. Linglong stretched out her white and tender hand to stroke Huiqi’s face. Her red lips were filled with a catering smile, “Your Majesty, enjoy yourself …”
Hui Qi’s jaw twitched slightly, “Did you say that?”
Linglong nodded. These things were only natural. Linglong herself felt that she was being a little too hypocritical. She clearly did not want it. It was clearly dry, but it was provoked by him. However, Linglong only accepted it. She even felt a little sad and uncomfortable.
After a long time, Linglong curved her red lips, revealing a smile that could be said to invert all living beings. She said, “Your Majesty, do you still remember how many emperors, princesses, and princes you have?”
Inside the candlelight, Huiqi looked into Linglong’s clear eyes. He didn’t know what Linglong wanted and asked, “Don’t you think you’re overstepping the mark?”
Linglong’s heartbeat accelerated and she hurriedly pleaded guilty. However, Huiqi did not seem to be really angry. Instead, he asked blandly, “I will tell you these things. However, I really want to hear why you asked this right now.”
Seeing the pair of dragon eyes glancing over, Linglong immediately turned her gaze away. “This concubine just feels that Princess Bao Luo is obedient and lovely. The Emperor should always accompany Bao Luo.”
Linglong only felt that the gaze that shot towards her was exceptionally sharp, and it was filled with an unspeakable calm and estrangement. Huiqi sneered and said, “You actually managed to interfere with my family affairs? Do you know how many heads in your Bu Manor can make you look down on me like this?”
Linglong silently looked at Hui Qi. Indeed, the Tian Clan was lucky. Just now, it was still raining down on the clouds without stopping. Now, the death-defying lingering was gone. Her cold face was slightly pale. She hurriedly kowtowed and said, “This concubine knows my sin.”
“Since you know your guilt, why should you say it?” Linglong felt the incomparably powerful sense of existence and pressure. Although she felt that she was on pins and needles, she clearly realized that Emperor Hui Qi did not have any malicious intentions, so she kowtowed and said, “This concubine has always thought that life is the happiest thing in the world. This concubine does not intend to accuse the Emperor. This concubine only feels that the Emperor is also a father and that this happiness should not be deprived.” After he finished speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly, what he saw was Hui Qi’s hearty laughter.
Just now, Huiqi’s expression was cold and harsh. The light in his black eyes became exceptionally hot. He hugged Linglong and said, “Bu Jieyu, you really are my flower of words. What else do you have to say today? Just finish it in one breath. I will agree to it. I will read your conferment ceremony today, and everything will be exonerated.”
Those eyes were still as sharp as ever, revealing a kind of wild vigor. Linglong lowered her head slightly and said, “This concubine has one more thing–”
Huiqi’s pair of dark eyes looked at Linglong, “Tell me.”
Linglong continued to kowtow, “This concubine thought that the emperor should go through all the palaces. This way, the harem will stabilize, just like the emperor’s ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains.”
History belonged to men, but it was often all women who changed history. Huiqi had already understood this logic and wanted to fulfill it. However, there were a lot of people in the harem. It was naturally impossible to go to all the palaces. He could only lower his head and ponder for a moment before holding Linglong’s hand. “I know what you mean.”
Linglong looked at Huiqi. There was no emotion on his face. It was so deep that it was hard to see through. However, there was still a lively smile on his resolute face. “I know that you are pleading for Chen Chongyi. I will go to Chen Chongyi tomorrow to fulfill your friendship. Do you think that’s good?”
Huiqi was indeed the Emperor. No matter how much he tried to beat around the bush, he could still quickly find the meridians and ask the crux of the question. Linglong was slightly stunned and nodded. “Your Majesty, you are truly a genius. You were hit in a single guess.”
Hui Qi presumptuously looked at Linglong and immediately pulled her over. “Let me die of drunkenness, haha …”
One night, Yingge Yanyu, the spring night was short, and not long after, it was already morning.
Linglong faintly woke up and felt as if her entire body had been ruthlessly ravaged by someone. However, when she saw Huiqi sleeping beside her, she was slightly stunned and restrained her slightly trembling voice.
According to the rules, the Emperor had already gotten up. Could it be that the Emperor was extremely tired today?
Linglong looked at Hui Qi’s complexion. It was exceptionally rosy. She was just sleepy. She put on her coat, ordered the noodles and slowly dressed in front of the diamond mirror. Then, she looked at the sky.
Today was a sunny day. The tall trees outside the window were as graceful as guards. There was a warm breeze blowing in the willow branches of South Mo. The fine night had already passed. Today’s dawn was a new day. Linglong was still recalling the bits and pieces from last night, as if it was unreal. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that it was a little unreal. However, the sound of the waterfall outside the window and the Emperor inside the house showed that everything was real.
The Emperor is probably awake. There is already a little inner supervisor inside to help the Emperor get dressed. The corner of Hui Qi’s mouth twitches slightly and he starts to write a poem-“Ran Ran Gu Sheng Zhu, take root in Mount Tai.”
After knocking on her temple, she could not remember the next sentence. Linglong was quick-witted and hurriedly answered, “I am newly married to Jun Wei, and Tusi is attached to Maiden Luo.” After saying that, he walked into the bedroom hall and asked, “Is the Emperor awake?”
Huiqi’s dark eyes narrowed slightly. “I’m newly married to Jun Wei, and Tusi is attached to Maiden Luo. She is indeed a genius at eyebrow-sweeping. I still have some shortcomings.”
“Your Majesty, you praise me absurdly” Linglong hurriedly rinsed Hui Qi with the translucent sea salt. Hui Qi was rinsing his mouth when Eunuch Lu walked in and said, “It’s already been arranged. Last night …”
Before he could finish speaking, Huiqi’s eyes were already wide open.
Eunuch Lu hurriedly slapped himself in the mouth. He left and right. Linglong also looked at Eunuch Lu with pity and hurriedly begged for mercy, “Your Majesty, please bypass Eunuch Lu. Eunuch Lu should have urgent matters to report, so this concubine will go down first.”
Hui Qi said coldly, “Let’s go down.”
After saying that, he looked at Eunuch Lu and shouted angrily, “How dare you say these things so openly? Have you done all the things I ordered yesterday?”
Eunuch Lu looked around and nodded his head with certainty. This time, he didn’t dare to speak anymore and just kept nodding. Afraid that there might be an old path for Ruan Ding, the Emperor’s expression turned slightly brighter when he saw this. “Tell me, there is no one else here now.”
Eunuch Lu then kowtowed and said, “Last night, Lan Zhaoyuan and Concubine Heshu arrived at Kunde Palace one after another. This old servant has already sent people to listen outside. Their words have already been extracted, and every word is right here. Please take a look at them, Your Majesty.”
Huiqi grabbed the thin piece of paper and looked at it. His face gradually turned a little pale. As he looked at it, he was angry. He actually pushed down a table. “Impudent, these bitches, do you dare to do this?”
Eunuch Lu frowned and said in a shrill voice, “Your Majesty, please calm down. This old servant will arrange for other shadow guards to investigate. The matter is still in its infancy. Please calm down, Your Majesty.”
Huiqi withdrew his gaze from Eunuch Lu and said, “Don’t be so reckless in the future. It’s hard for you too. I know that, but if this matter is leaked, it won’t benefit anyone. Consider it yourself. If you commit suicide next time!”
“This old servant knows his guilt, this old servant deserves to die!” Eunuch Lu hurriedly nodded and Huiqi coldly said, “Go down.”
Eunuch Lu crawled out and greeted Bu Linglong. Linglong asked, “What happened to the Emperor? He doesn’t look happy today.”
Eunuch Lu pointed inside while slapping his mouth. It meant that the Emperor didn’t want him to speak anymore. Linglong found it funny and walked into the bedroom hall.
