A Promotion Guide in the Harem - C182

Mu Zixin clenched the envelope tightly, looking at Leng Qiyue at a loss.

Leng Qiyue calmly took a few steps forward and bowed. “Your consort greets the empress dowager. Your Majesty is blessed.”

The empress dowager laughed coldly. “Why are you unruly and running to the late emperor’s chambers?”

Just as Leng Qiyue was about to speak, she heard a cat meow from behind her. “Meow …”

Leng Qiyue shrewdly replied, “Reporting to the empress dowager, chenqie came to find a cat.”

At this moment, Blacky ran over and jumped into Leng Qiyue’s embrace, its azure eyes staring fixedly at the empress dowager.

The empress dowager felt uncomfortable being stared at by the cat. She turned to Mu Zixin and asked, “Who is she?”

Mu Zixin hastened to kneel down and say, “In reply to Esteemed Empress Dowager, this commoner is the wife of the Imperial Guard Commander Bai Lan. I am following His Majesty’s orders to enter the palace to accompany the imperial concubine.”

Her Majesty had long seen the envelope in her hand and asked, “What are you holding in your hand?” Show it to This Dowager. ”

Mu Zixin subconsciously hid the envelope behind him. The empress dowager shouted angrily, “What? Don’t dare to show it to This Dowager? “Could it be that you guys are lovers at night?”

The affair of meeting a lover at night was a capital offense, and Leng Qiyue knew that she couldn’t afford it. She quickly said to Mu Zixin, “Quickly hand it over to the empress dowager. We’re innocent.”

Mu Zixin also felt that the situation was serious, so he handed the envelope to the eunuch who came forward.

Her Majesty took the envelope and opened it. The contents of the letter made her extremely excited. It seemed that she already knew about the transfer of the cashier’s pouch.

The empress dowager gave a light cough to conceal her expression. “Since it’s not a love letter, why bother hiding? It’s fine, it’s very late. You should all go back and rest.”

Seeing how anxious the empress dowager was, Leng Qiyue felt like laughing. Why was she so impatient to go back and study the map?

After sending the empress dowager off, Mu Zixin said, “Empress Dowager, don’t you feel that it’s a pity?”

Leng Qiyue smiled. “It’s fated for people to have some bit of wealth. Maybe we don’t have that kind of luck, otherwise how could the ducks that we get our hands on end up flying.”

Mu Zixin smirked, “Empress really doesn’t feel the slightest bit of heartache? It seems to be a great treasure trove. ”

Leng Qiyue laughed, “How can you not feel heartache? I was born to love money, but I didn’t ask for it. If it’s gone, then so be it, don’t take it to heart. ”

Mu Zixin said, “Empress, I’ll remember these. Can I draw them for you when we get back?”

Leng Qiyue was startled. She sized up Mu Zixin and then said, “You can’t tell? “You actually have a photographic memory.”

Mu Zixin embarrassedly said, “That’s not true either. As long as I read it seriously, I will be able to remember it immediately. However, I will completely forget about it after I sleep.”

Leng Qiyue said in amusement, “Little girl, you’re really adorable.”

When the two of them returned to the Moon Flower Palace, Mu Zixin wrote down the map and the poem.

The poem was very messy, and it didn’t seem like a poem at all, so the rhyme was wrong. Even calling it a couplet would be wrong.

“Empress, has the late emperor gone mad? It was all written in a messy manner. Take this sentence for example. A faint smile hung on the pretty lady’s face as two lines of clear tears fell down her face. How can a beauty made of jade shed tears? ”

Leng Qiyue also shook her head. “I don’t know. I don’t know much about ancient poems, so I can’t tell.”

Mu Zixin said with a regretful expression, “It’s good that Bai Lan is here. He’s learned a lot.”

Leng Qiyue smiled and said, “Let him see it when you have time. Maybe he’ll know.”

Mu Zixin gloomily said, “I think the late emperor must have been sick and confused. Why didn’t he write down two sentences on such a large piece of paper?”

When Leng Qiyue heard this, she looked at those few pages once more, and then copied them onto a chapter of paper.

With a faint smile on her face, two lines of clear tears flowed down her face.

It had been ten thousand years since he had hoped for a goddess in the Imperial Mansion.

A man like a speck of dust is gone, a man standing on the wall looking forward to the return of the monarch.

After toiling hard to cultivate the field during the cold summer, only a corpse and soul were left.

The door is tightly shut, and a crack in the door could be seen. ”

Leng Qiyue read it a few times and said with a headache, “I don’t want to think about it anymore. I want to sleep.”

Seeing that Leng Qiyue had already gone to sleep, Mu Zixin returned to the side chamber to rest.

On the morning of the second day, Leng Qiyue was already quarreled with by Princess Changle and Niu Jun. They were playing in the courtyard and laughing very loudly.

Mu Zixin walked out listlessly. Upon seeing Leng Qiyue, he said, “Empress, it’s very early.”

Leng Qiyue also replied listlessly, “Morning.”

Han Liu smiled. “I told you to go out at night. You don’t even have the energy now. Go rest after you eat breakfast.”

Leng Qiyue nodded, and Mu Zixin did not object.

After breakfast, Leng Qiyue could no longer fall asleep. She said to Han Liu, “Accompany me to the Wolong Shrine. I want to go find His Majesty.”

Han Liu nodded and helped Leng Qiyue pack her things before heading back to the Lying Dragon Palace.

He was sure to pass by the royal garden when he went to the Wolong Palace. He happened to run into Princess Butterfly sulking alone in the imperial garden this early in the morning. Judging from the direction she was standing, it was obvious that she had gone to the Wolong Palace. It must have been because she had been given a closed-door meal that she became sullen.

Leng Qiyue didn’t dodge. She wasn’t even as high up as herself, so why would she dodge? Thus, she walked straight towards him.

When she saw Leng Qiyue, she did not bow and only snorted.

Leng Qiyue didn’t want to pay any attention to her at first, but the Butterfly Consort didn’t and said in a weird tone, “The Emperor is discussing important matters with the Minister in the Dragon’s Snail Hall. It’s better if you don’t go. The Emperor won’t see you.”

Leng Qiyue smiled faintly. “The emperor will definitely meet with me.”

Die Fei glared angrily at Leng Qiyue and followed behind her, as if she wanted to see her embarrassed state.

When they arrived at Wolong Shrine, the eunuch who guarded the door saw Leng Qiyue and bowed before saying, “The emperor has instructed that since Imperial Concubine has come, there’s no need to announce her. You can just go in.”

Leng Qiyue gave a faint smile and threw a provocative look towards Die Fei before entering.

Die Fei was furious and said angrily, “Damned witch, I will make sure you die a horrible death.”

Leng Qiyue, who had just entered the hall, suddenly sneezed. She then asked with concern, “Did the Empress catch a cold last night?”

When Dongfang Haotian heard Leng Qiyue’s voice, he said to him, “Go get my cloak.”

As soon as he received the order, he went to get the cloak. After putting it on, Dongfang Haotian said, “Why don’t you put on more?”

Leng Qiyue innocently said, “Chenqie isn’t cold. It’s just that her nose is itchy all of a sudden.”

The Minister of the Left could not bear to see this, so he coughed loudly while the rest of the officials lowered their heads and ignored him.

Dongfang Haotian glanced at the Minister of the Left and asked Leng Qiyue, “Is my beloved concubine looking for me for something?”

Leng Qiyue replied, “Since the emperor is discussing official business, chenqie can wait.”

“Alright, beloved concubine, wait a moment.” Dongfang Haotian dotingly said.

The Minister of the Left could no longer bear to watch and retorted angrily, “Your Majesty, the Ancestor has decreed that the imperial harem cannot interfere in political affairs.”

Dongfang Haotian said, “It’s alright to listen.”

The Minister of the Left still refused to give up as he said, “It’s a capital offense to talk about court affairs in private with too many people.”

However, Leng Qiyue said indifferently, “The empress dowager is also a woman.”
