Chapter 130 (1/2)
Chu Lingyun was slightly stunned and stared at her, ”do you mean that the civet cat changes the crown prince?”
Chu Zongge half narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile, ”you want to be the prince so much. Even this matter should be brought to the prince.”
”Don't change the subject. I'm asking you something important.” Chu Lingyun pursed her lips and said positively, ”if you want to replace me with someone else on the way to the state of Qi, aren't you afraid of being found out? If people know. We'll be finished with your prospective Princess.”
”So.” Chu Zongge turned the white jade cup in his hand, which had a deep meaning in his eyes. ”This civet cat must not be flawed.”
Chu Lingyun suddenly became stiff and her mind was buzzing. She looked at the door like a ghost. Xiang he stood aside holding her cloak. Docile and peaceful, like a child who has no struggle with the world.
”You don't want Xiang He to be my substitute.” Chu Lingyun's voice was hoarse and uncomfortable.
Chu Zongge stood up leisurely, closed the window, and isolated the ignorant Xiang He in a cold spring. ”It's not a ghost for death. How many people in the world can enjoy the treatment of the princess of the state of Qin, and how many people can be the imperial concubine as soon as they enter the Palace of the state of Qi. That Xiang he was originally the only palace maid who followed you, and will never object to you.”
Chu Lingyun looked away slightly embarrassed. ”It seems that the emperor of the state of Qi is still nostalgic for the former empress. He is always indifferent to the beauty of the harem. He sleeps in the Donghua palace all year round and rarely goes to other concubines.”
Chu Zongge drank a mouthful of tea quietly. There were thousands of waves in his dark eyes, and he covered up a few uncomfortable colors on his face. He continued to laugh and said, ”you care so much about whether the emperor of Qi dotes on the harem or not. You really want to be a imperial concubine of Qi.”
”That's what I said,” Chu Lingyun brushed his sleeves and gently pulled the corners of his lips. ”I'm afraid the net lotus is not suitable.”
Chu Chu song is as like as two peas in the eyebrows, ”not very suitable?” the Dutch lotus looks like you almost, is really the best candidate of the civet cat, do you think where is not suitable?
”Not suitable is not suitable,” Chu Lingyun's tone was a little hasty, which surprised her. ”We'd better choose a lady of the aristocratic family. After all, Xiang He is a palace maid. Judging from the etiquette, he will help soon.”
Chu Zongge stared at her silently for a long time, and immediately said with a smile, ”I just gave you an idea. You can do it yourself. But the young lady of this family is usually the Pearl in the palm of the family. If she disappears suddenly, it will arouse suspicion. You have to be thoughtful.”
”I understand,” Chu Lingyun sighed faintly, ”I'll find the civet cat before spring.”
Chu Zongge curved his lips, ”then your action should be fast. The ice and snow in Xinyang hall melt like spring rain. Spring is coming soon.”
”It's said that there was a peach blossom snow in the imperial garden,” Chu Lingyun's eyes darkened. ”I don't know if the state of Qi will have such a beautiful scenery.”
”Although the state of Qi is a place of barbarians, there are also several fairylands on earth,” Chu Zongge smiled at her soothingly, and a trace of evil flashed at the bottom of his eyes. ”I know you are very unhappy when you were stabbed in the emperor's back, but there has never been a reassuring feeling in the towering imperial palace. You and the emperor are like this, and so are me and the emperor.”
Zhao Jieyu put on her wrist the lanolin jade bracelet given by imperial concubine Fu. The glittering and translucent jade color lined Qianqian's plain hand. She put her hand under the candlelight and appreciated her scallion like fingers.
”Empress,” said the maid carefully, holding the box, ”this is a gift from empress Fu Fei to miss Qingyao. Does empress like it?”
”Who doesn't like such a good thing,” said Zhao Jieyu reluctantly, taking off the bracelet and putting it back in the box. ”I've been in the palace for a month. The emperor still gives me some ordinary things. There's nothing special.”
The palace maid smiled and said, ”madam, there are still ten days before you enter the palace in a month. Princess Fu has these good things because she has a dragon seed in her stomach. If the madam is pregnant with one, she will have all kinds of bracelets.”
Zhao Jieyu snapped the lid closed, chuckled and said, ”what's the bracelet? I don't want a circle of lanolin jade. When I become a imperial concubine, whether it's lanolin jade bracelet or Xiuyan Jade Bracelet, I'll reward you if you like it.”
The palace maid immediately kowtowed her head with joy and said repeatedly, ”my lady is merciful. If she wants to be a high-ranking imperial concubine, she is really blessed by Sansheng.”
Zhao Jieyu helped her up from the ground with a smile. ”I trust the people around me. If you respect me and are loyal to me, I will be good to you.”
Outside, a little eunuch came in and shouted, ”madam, the emperor won't come to you tonight.”
Zhao Jieyu's face sank, and it was not easy to attack in front of the people served by the emperor. She had to say with a smile, ”is the emperor going to the sister of Fu Fei in chenghuan hall?”
The little eunuch replied, ”what the empress said is that the emperor is going to see Princess Fu.”
Zhao Jieyu looked like she was good at understanding people's hearts. ”Sister Fu Fei is now pregnant with the emperor's Dragon fetus, but our number one hero of the Qin Dynasty. It's time to go to chenghuan hall in the good spring season. Thank you, father-in-law.” she raised her chin, ”go and grab a handful of broken gold.”
When the little eunuch saw the glittering broken gold in the maid's hand, he immediately smiled, ”thank you, Jieyu. The emperor has gone to chenghuan hall today, and Ming will come to the empress.”
Zhao Jieyu smiled and said, ”thank you for your kind words. I hope the emperor will help you when he turns over the sign.”
The little eunuch replied repeatedly, ”Jieyu is polite. Now the empress enjoys the nectar of the harem alone. It's a good time for the sun to rise. The emperor will naturally smell the empress's laughter.”
Zhao Jieyu covered her face with a veil and smiled again and again. ”My father-in-law is really the man served by the emperor. This mouth is sweeter than wiping honey.”
After understanding, the palace maid grabbed a handful of broken gold and gave it to the little eunuch, ”father-in-law, I don't know if I can buy enough wine for you.”
