A Promotion Guide in the Harem - C186

When the old man heard this, he first kowtowed to Leng Qiyue in the emperor’s carriage, but he did not open the door. Instead, he said, “Miss, please wait for a moment. This servant will go inform you right away.”

Han Liu frowned. Just as he was about to flare up, Leng Qiyue lightly said, “Han Liu, let’s wait a bit.”

Han Liu pouted and returned to the carriage. “He, Dong Fang, is now just a commoner. The Empress is the Imperial Concubine. Wouldn’t it be …”

Leng Qiyue interrupted her, “Although I don’t have much of a relationship with Yu Fei, I still remember what she entrusted me with before she passed away. Anyone who doesn’t have parents, for the sake of sisters, I will respect her parents as well. ”

Han Liu swallowed her words. She felt it would be better for her to obediently shut up, because she couldn’t figure out what Leng Qiyue was thinking.

After a moment, the door opened wide, and Dong Fang came out to greet him.

“This commoner, Dong Fang, pays his respects to the imperial concubine.”

Leng Qiyue alighted from the emperor’s carriage. Today, she did not dress up, but instead was clear and indifferent, in the hopes that this would make her seem a bit more amiable. She looked at Dongfang Qi, who was about fifty years old, his hair black and white and ancient. His face was thin and his eyes were lively. It was obvious that he was a powerful figure.

Leng Qiyue went up to help Dong Fang Qi up and said with a smile, “Quickly, please get up.”

Dong Fang Qi stood up. He was also sizing up Leng Qiyue. He knew that his daughter had died. Although he knew it had nothing to do with Leng Qiyue, he did not have a good impression of her either. However, when he saw her today, he was somewhat puzzled. This pure and light woman in front of him could really confuse the imperial harem?

Han Liu lightly coughed.

Dong Fang Qi snapped out of his daze and said with a smile, “Please take your seat, Empress.”

Leng Qiyue nodded. The two of them walked into the room side by side. However, the scenery inside the house didn’t match with the outside world, and it was much more desolate. Could it be that there weren’t any servants taking care of the courtyard?

Dong Fang Qi seemed to see through Leng Qiyue’s doubt and calmly said, “When my little girl was alive, she liked to take care of the courtyard. Everything was as it was before and she hadn’t moved from it.”

Leng Qiyue was dejected, and her deep feelings for Dongfang Zexuan moved her.

After entering the inner room, Leng Qiyue dismissed the servants and said, “Please take your seat Uncle Dongfang.”

Although Dong Fang Qi didn’t know what Leng Qi Yue was up to, he would do as she said. As long as I don’t make any mistakes, you have to consider whether you want to find fault.

When Dongfang Qi sat down, Leng Qiyue suddenly knelt down in front of him, frightening him so much that he was about to stand up. Leng Qiyue then spoke, “Uncle Dongfang please sit down, I’m not some imperial concubine right now, but on behalf of Dongfang Yu to kowtow to Father.”

When Dong Fang Qi heard Dong Fang Yu’s name, he staggered and sat down, taking three kowtows from Leng Qi Yue.

After knocking her head against the ground, Leng Qiyue did not stand up. Instead, she looked to Dong Fang Qi and said, “Once you enter the palace, you will be as deep as the sea, unable to repay your parents’ kindness.”

Dong Fang Qi could no longer hold it in. Two streams of clear tears flowed down his face. He shakily supported Leng Qiyue and said, “Good, good, good. Many thanks to the Empress for sending this message on behalf of my daughter.”

Leng Qiyue supported Dong Fang Qi and softly said, “Your Majesty originally wanted to protect little sister’s life, but little sister chose to commit suicide out of fear of implicating her family.”

Dong Fang Qi wiped away his tears and nodded. “I understand. I understand the empress dowager’s intentions.”

Dong Fang Qi kept on saying that he understood, but Leng Qiyue did not. She asked curiously, “Too many thoughts?”

Dong Fang Qi smiled bitterly. “The empress dowager came before, but I didn’t hand over the Tiger Tally. She’s always held a grudge in her heart. I just didn’t expect her to stab my daughter.”

Leng Qiyue helped Dong Fang Qi to sit down. She took out a jade talisman from her bosom and gave it to Dong Fang Qi, saying, “Before little sister left, give me the jade talisman and have me pass it to you. A lot of things happened afterwards and I couldn’t get away until today when I had the chance to come out and find you. ”

Dong Fang Qi took the jade talisman and poured a cup of clear water into the teacup. Then, he placed the jade talisman inside. Suddenly, the water in the teacup turned jade-green. He nodded in satisfaction and said, “Someone once tried to swindle the Tiger Talisman from me with a few fake jade talismans, but they did not know that these jade talismans could turn the clear water green.”

Leng Qiyue was secretly surprised. So this jade talisman had such an effect. But what was the use of just causing water to turn into a jade color? Just for fun?

The old man who had just opened the door came in and asked: “Master, what are your orders?”

Dong Fang Qi said, “Go ask for Madam’s Divine Throne.”

Dongfang Yu’s mother died? This Leng Qiyue really did not know.

The old man trotted out, and not long later, he invited a divine seat. It was written “The seat of the Dongfang family’s Li Lian”.

Leng Qiyue respectfully kowtowed three times towards the Divine Throne. Although she didn’t know what Dongfang Xi was trying to do, even a living person had kneeled down. Was there still a need for this dead person?

Dong Fang Qi looked at Leng Qiyue as he kowtowed, nodded his head in satisfaction, and said, “It is rumored that the Imperial Concubine is the Demon Concubine of the Charm Emperor. Now that I have seen her, I know that the Empress is a well-informed and gentle woman. “Forget it. After all, I already have a daughter, so I don’t want to worry about the country anymore. This Tiger Tally, take it.”

Leng Qiyue took over the small box that Dong Fang Qi took out from the bottom of the Divine Stele. When she opened it, there was a Golden Wolf Seal inside. The Fierce Tiger Seal in Dongfang Haotian’s hand, the former empress took away the Qilin Seal, and this was the Golden Wolf Seal. That should be the Lion Seal in the empress dowager’s hand. Now that Dongfang Haotian had two Tiger talismans in his hands, he could withdraw half of his forces. If he could take back the one from the previous empress, then they would have the ability to contend with the empress dowager.

Dong Fang Qi sighed heavily and said, “The former empress took another Tiger Tally. Logically speaking, she’s the empress dowager’s cousin and should be very close to the empress dowager. But she didn’t hand it over to the empress dowager. This old man is very puzzled.”

When Leng Qiyue heard this, an idea flashed through her mind. She smiled and said, “I also have some matters to discuss with the former Empress. Since it’s rare to leave the palace today, why don’t we go to her place as well? It won’t be so convenient if I want to leave the palace in the future.”

Dong Fang Qi silently nodded his head. So it turned out that this woman was not stupid, but had a quick reaction. Just by mentioning it, she knew that there was a grudge between the previous Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. As for whether she could obtain the Tiger Tally from the previous empress, that would depend on her luck.

Leng Qiyue put away the Tiger Tally and said, “Many thanks to Uncle Dongfang for the advice. I’ll take my leave now.”

Dong Fang Qi nodded and sent Leng Qiyue out.

Leng Qiyue boarded the imperial carriage and went to the Empress’s residence, walking towards the mountain resort. Halfway there, a servant man caught up with her and shouted, “Imperial Concubine, please halt. My master has a letter for you.”

Leng Qiyue waved her hand, and the imperial carriage came to a halt. Han Liu took the envelope and handed it over to Leng Qiyue. Leng Qiyue lightly said, “Reward.”

Han Liu then took out a small amount of silver and stuffed it into the servant’s hand. The servant went back to report after a thousand thanks.

Leng Qiyue opened the envelope. Inside was a letter written by Dong Fang Qi in his own hand.
