Chapter 318 (1/2)
Chu Zhi didn't want to show any more. Naturally, he agreed, nodded and said, ”I'll obey.”
Chu Zhi was about to leave. Li Quansheng came in and announced that Princess Ling was coming.
Chu Zhi's eyes moved. It seemed that he didn't hear it and walked out.
It happened that I bumped into Lingfei outside Zichen hall.
”Chu Zhi, the minister's daughter, has seen the empress Lingfei. The empress is auspicious.”
Chu Zhi lowered her head, so imperial concubine Ling didn't see what she looked like.
”Look up.”
Chu Zhi looked up according to the words and stopped at the tip of Lingfei's nose.
When she saw the shape of Chu Zhi, Ling Fei's eyes shrank sharply and her face changed violently. It seemed that she saw something terrible. Even the palace man beside her couldn't help but look frightened.
Because Chu Zhi drooped his eyes slightly, he didn't see the change of Lingfei.
After waiting for a long time, she heard the spirit imperial concubine smile and say, ”no wonder the virtuous imperial concubine praises you everywhere for your beautiful appearance. Even I am stunned!”
Then he stepped forward and picked up Chu Zhi with his own hands: ”get up quickly! I don't pay attention to rules. You don't have to be polite in front of me.”
Then he looked at Chu Zhi carefully and said with a smile, ”what a good girl. She looks like many flowers. It's a pity that I don't have a prince. If there is a prince, I will hire you to be my daughter-in-law, so that I can look at you every day.”
Chu Zhi's heart was strange, but his face smiled very modestly: ”the empress broke off the minister's daughter. Where can the minister's daughter have such good luck.”
Ling Fei patted the back of Chu Zhi's hand and said very intimately, ”I dare not say how others are, but you and I can be sure that you are a natural person and your blessing is still ahead!”
After that, he pulled down a wooden plate from his waist. The wooden plate was engraved with complex and strange patterns. It looked insignificant, but it had a lot of articles. It actually combined the Fuxi eight trigrams map and the directional signs that can only be used for troop arrangement. It looked simple and quiet, but it had been for some years.
Ling Fei directly put it into Chu Zhi's hand: ”I fall in love with you and have nothing to give you. Those gold, silver and jade articles are too tacky. This is just right.”
Chu Zhi hurriedly refused: ”thank you for your love, and I'm afraid...”
”Take it well if you give it.” imperial concubine Ling interrupted Chu Zhi's words and didn't give her a chance to refuse. ”I've worn this waist token for many years. It's fate and... Fortune to meet you today.”
Ling Fei said vaguely. Before Chu Zhi refused, people had crossed Chu Zhi and left.
Before leaving, he smiled at Chu Zhi: ”come to the palace more often when you have time. I don't ask you to be as close to me as a virtuous imperial concubine. Just come to me for a cup of tea when you remember. I'm also happy. It's getting late. Go back quickly and be careful that people at home miss me.”
Looking at the back of Lingfei, Chu Zhi's eyes were full of meditation.
After Ling Fei went in, Li Quansheng just helped Xiao Huang lie on the Dragon couch.
Ling Fei didn't ask Li Quansheng to salute either. She waved and asked Li Quansheng to go down.
”See?”
The empress Lingfei didn't answer and asked, ”what do I say? Well, why did you suddenly become interested in a humble legitimate daughter of a small official and give someone a county head? Now I understand.”
Ling Fei was really like what she said. She didn't care about etiquette. She also called herself to her majesty, and her attitude was casual and tight. Xiao Huang was used to it.
”What do you think of her?” asked Xiao Huang with a smile on his mouth.
”Didn't you hear what I just said to her outside?” Princess Ling raised her eyebrow. ”I said it all. Unfortunately, I don't have a prince. If I have, I'll ask her to be my daughter-in-law.”
”All right, all right, just your mouth, I don't know? I'm used to lying with my eyes open!” emperor Xiao was amused. ”Besides, you didn't want children yourself, which is not what I meant.”
The spirit imperial concubine smiled lightly: ”what do you want to do with those laborious things? Is the play not pleasant or the flowers not beautiful? Look at you. When so many princes were born, how many survived? The only ones still fought for that position. They are unwilling. You are also angry. Why bother!”
