The First Empress - Chapter 94

Chapter 94 The Sovereign King Suddenly Doted on Him
When Huiqi arrived at Changle Palace, Lan Sou Yu suddenly burst into tears of joy. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. Huiqi kindly helped Lan Sou Yu up. “I haven’t been here for a long time. I miss you very much.” This naked dialogue caused Lan Sou Yu’s face to flush red. She hurriedly closed her face and said, “It’s good that the Emperor can come. Your concubine has offended the Emperor. The Emperor still needs forgiveness.”

Thinking about what happened last time, Lan Sou Yu couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.

Hui Qi didn’t care, he just nodded and said, “Nothing. Are you happy that I will come over the next day?”

“Your Majesty is used to joking. Probably because I don’t have any fun to say to relieve my boredom.” Lan Sou Yu did not believe that Huiqi would treat her differently. Naturally, she had doubts. Could it be that Huiqi already knew that she was the person who stole the Immortal Gold Medal? But judging from Huiqi’s actions, he did not discover his actions at all. Was it really a whim today?

When Lan Sou Yu thought of this, she simply smiled and said, “Your Majesty, when you arrive at the Bedroom Hall, will this concubine undress your Majesty?”

Huiqi smiled and obediently entered the bedroom hall.

The next day, all the concubines went to the Empress’ palace to pay their respects. Today was the day to pay their respects. On the first day of each month, the ceremony could not be abolished. Naturally, they needed to go to the Empress’ Kunde Palace to pay their respects.

Everyone had already arrived, only waiting for Ji Zhuhua.

Before Ji Zhuhua could arrive, these concubines had already begun to discuss secretly.

Even Lan Sou Yu did not come today. Ning Yanliu smiled and said, “Indeed, it is Bai Liang Xin Chong Sheng. I heard that the Emperor flipped through Big Sister Bu’s green-haired card last night, but for some reason, he abandoned Big Sister and went to Changle Palace.” She deliberately looked at Linglong and sneered in her heart. These people knew something. They were completely at different levels, so it was very difficult to communicate with each other. However, she said, “The world is vast. The Emperor is not alone in this palace. Where is the Emperor’s freedom to go? This palace does not have the ability to wield the Heart of a Monarch with long hair.”

Ning Yanliu wanted to say something, but the Ningguta clan suddenly sneered, “I presume that Sister Bu didn’t roll up the bead curtains to frost last night. She was also very lonely.”

Linglong nodded. “This palace is indeed lonely, but I will not be willing to be lonely. The Ningguta clan and Noble Ning have always been unable to fight against this palace. Today, it seems that they are especially concerned about this palace.” At this point, he paused.

Linglong knew the Emperor’s plan, so she remained calm. These people had long lost their favor, and Linglong didn’t want to argue with them.

However, last night’s Golden Furnace Jade Pillow was colorless. It was indeed a little uncomfortable to hear Nangong Qinglei grow.

At this time, Ji Zhuhua came over, and the concubines hurriedly bowed. The sarcasm just now seemed to be a joke, and it no longer existed.

Ji Zhuhua smiled faintly, “You guys were chatting like crazy just now.”

After he finished speaking, his cold gaze moved like a knife from the faces of everyone. Finally, it locked onto the faces of Ning Guta and Ning Yanliu. “Ning Guta, Lady Ning, why did I hear you two talking to each other in a trance just now?”

Ning Yanliu reacted quickly and smiled hurriedly, “It’s just that she remembered the ancient people’s debate about the Palace Ci in her spare time. I really didn’t expect the Empress to actually hear it.”

Ji Zhuhua nodded slightly. “It’s good to read things clearly, but don’t misread them. It’s not good to think about things in the opposite direction.” As he spoke, he looked at Linglong and said, “Bu Jieyu, this is the place where you read the most. Your knowledge is also the farthest away. Sometimes, someone doesn’t speak appropriately, just have a little forgiveness.”

Ji Zhu Hua’s elbow was obviously leaning to Ling Long’s side, so Ling Long could only nod her head. “This concubine is reading but she doesn’t have to swallow jujube. There are some poems that need to be slowly explored. There’s more fun between the lines.”

Linglong wasn’t a thorn in anyone’s side. She was just telling the truth. There was no need to argue with these lowly people. Just treat them as if they had been bitten by a dog. Linglong still had some accomplishments.

Ning Guta and Ning Yanliu were stunned. They looked at each other for a moment and didn’t know what to say. They lowered their heads.

The Empress smiled and said, “This is the demeanor that everyone should have. Bu Jieyu is excellent. Everyone should learn from Bu Jieyu.”

“This concubine has been taught.”

All the concubines said the same thing, but Linglong only felt that these people were hypocritical.

At this time, Lan Shuyu arrived late. As she reached out her hand and shook the golden step behind her head into the green silk, she bowed sullenly, “Concubines are late. Concubines are guilty. It was only because the Emperor wanted to coax Concubines to feed the Emperor japonica rice porridge that it was delayed for four hours.”

This was not an apology at all. There was no sincerity at all. Instead, there was a kind of pride that relied on favor. Ji Zhuhua didn’t mind, “What are you saying? You’re just your own sisters. It’s only proper to take care of the Emperor. The rest isn’t worth mentioning. Since you’re here, just sit back.”

Lan Shuyu hurriedly found a seat and smiled, “Are the sisters here yet?”

“This concubine wants to apologize to Big Sister Bu. What happened last night isn’t this concubine anymore. Please don’t forget about this little person, Big Sister Bu.” Feng glanced sideways at Linglong, “I want to apologize to Big Sister Bu.” ‘”What’s wrong? The Emperor is not our Emperor. It’s freedom wherever the Emperor wants to go. I’m not a hateful person who imprisons the Emperor’s freedom.” Linglong sneered.

With a single sentence, he handed down a verdict, But Lan Sou Yu still said sour, “Then this concubine should apologize to the sisters of the various palaces. The Emperor said yesterday that about eight to nine out of ten of them have been in Changle Palace in the past half month, so …” She looked very embarrassed. Actually, there was no need to mention how happy she was. Linglong looked at such a hypocritical face and hated it. She wanted to take her leave early, but she was afraid that they would talk nonsense behind her, so she could only bite the bullet.

After saying those words, Lan Sou Yu waited for everyone’s reply. Everyone was also very slippery. They nodded slightly and did not say a word.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Ji Zhuhua hurriedly said, “You are also very happy to be able to come to this palace today. Don’t give this palace a face. Relying on your own abilities, don’t look like you’re proud of your pet. You’re tired of it.” After saying that, she glanced at Lan Sou Yu. Only then did Lan Sou Yu restrain herself a lot and slightly nodded before retreating.

After chatting for a while, Ji Zhuhua was tired and the concubines dispersed. Lan Shuyu walked to Linglong’s side and sneered, “Sister Bu, you didn’t expect that, did you?” Linglong shook her head, not intending to pay any attention to Lan Sou Yu’s ridicule. However, Lan Sou Yu was so proud that she reached out her hand to stop Ling Long. “What am I asking you? You didn’t expect it, did you?”

Linglong stared at Lan Sou Yu with her eyes as bright as gemstones. “I didn’t think it would be you, did I, Blue Zhaoyuan?”

The expression on Lan Sou Yu’s face was not very good. She paused for a moment and only smiled. “No matter what, I didn’t expect that I would still keep the Emperor, did I? It’s not like some people were flipped over or left behind after all. It’s also boring to say it out loud, boss.” It was as if he had caught a thief.

Linglong smiled instead of being angry. In her heart, she felt that Lan Sou Yu was simply too stupid. She said coldly, “What can I say if I can’t keep her? Isn’t it glorious?”

“You” Lan Sou Yu was speechless, not knowing what to say.

The Empress of this room sent a message saying that she wanted Linglong to talk in the inner hall. Linglong nodded and said, “If you’ll excuse me, I’ll go in first.”

Lan Sou Yu almost gritted her teeth and stamped her foot as she watched Ling Long enter the inner hall.

At this moment, everyone had already dispersed. Linglong had arrived at the Empress’ inner hall alone. This place looked gloomy. Every time Linglong entered, she would feel an inexplicable oppressive feeling. It was as if even the tall pillars were better than ordinary palaces.

After coming in, the first thing he felt was cold.

Linglong wiped her cheeks and saw Ji Zhuhua sitting upright on the cloud couch in front of her.

“Oh, you’re here?” Ji Zhuhua was a little absent-minded, as if he was distracted by something. He suddenly saw Linglong and regained his senses.

“What exactly happened last night?” “But did you offend the Emperor?” Ji Zhuhua scolded. Linglong closed her eyes and said, “No, Your Majesty should have the Emperor’s intentions. The imperial harem is intertwined, and I dare not speak rashly. However, I definitely did not offend Your Majesty. Otherwise, I would not be standing here properly.”

Ji Zhuhua seemed to understand a little. He looked at Linglong and asked anxiously, “Do you know why the Emperor went to Lan Zhaoyuan’s place?”

“I really don’t know. I’m also very aggrieved.” Ji Zhu Hua almost cried as he spoke. Seeing that he couldn’t discover any secrets from Ling Long, he could only console Ling Long and let her not be discouraged. With him around, she would definitely continue to be favored by Ling Long.

Linglong naturally had to put on an expression of gratitude. Ji Zhuhua also felt that Linglong was a little pitiful. After saying a few words, she dispersed. She also warned Linglong to take good care of herself and not let those things affect her.

Linglong listened and walked out of Kunde Palace.

She ignored the mockery of the concubines. Her indifference made people feel that she was a little mad. Linglong walked out and deliberately avoided Lan Shuyu, Ning Yanliu, and the others. Even Chen Chongyi avoided them.

A person slowly walked onto the Spring Wave Bridge. Looking at the surrounding spring and scenery, the scenery was extremely beautiful. Looking around, he only felt that the spring scenery was brilliant, and the leisure courtyard blown by the hispaniola silk naturally had a different kind of exquisite.

Suddenly, a voice broke the silence behind him–

“Jieyu, please wait a moment.” Linglong was disturbed by the magnetic mellow voice and hurriedly turned around.

“Dragon Taboo Lieutenant? Do you need anything?” Linglong frowned.

Imperial Guard Long looked around and lowered his voice. “This subordinate came here on the orders of the Emperor to tell Concubine Jieyu to calm down and not change anything. Does the Empress understand what the Emperor means?” After saying that, she slightly tilted her body and raised her head. She unconsciously nodded, “Although I can’t guess what the Emperor wants, the Emperor has always done things for a reason. As for what happened last night, I naturally don’t care much about it.”

“That’s good.” The Dragon Taboo Lieutenant looked a little embarrassed, “The Emperor also said …” He raised his eyes to look at Linglong. There was a hint of urgency in Linglong’s eyes as he urged, “What did you say?”

“The Emperor also told you to go to the Heart Restoration Hall tomorrow.”

“Help this palace convey the emperor. This palace will definitely attend the appointment on time.”

After saying a few words, the two of them dispersed. Linglong looked around. The sun was bright, the smoke was faint and warm, and she slowly arrived at the Cloud Phoenix Palace alone.
