A Promotion Guide in the Harem - C195
Looking at the broken pieces of gold, Xiao Die quickly took one and cast it into a Night Pearl. She rolled it into a yellow silk cloth, stuffed it into the box and sealed it once again.
Leng Qiyue retracted her hand, and the Qilin Glyph fell into her sleeve.
Han Liu purposely said in surprise, “Esteemed Empress, there really is a box inside this piece of gold. But how do we open it?”
Xiao Die also agreed, “Yes, Your Highness, this box looks very sturdy. How do I open it?”
Leng Qiyue took the box and stood up. She intentionally raised it up and said, “Let’s see if there are any gaps. If there are, we can open it.”
Die Fei saw the unusual box in Leng Qiyue’s hand and felt an itch in her heart. She thought there was a phoenix mark there, so she ran over and shouted, “Sister, what did you find?”
Leng Qiyue purposely shook her hand, and the box instantly split into two as it fell onto the ground. The night pearl made of gold rolled out, rolling all the way to the foot of the butterfly Concubine’s feet.
Die Fei picked up the Night Pearl and looked at it from left to right. In the end, her face was filled with disappointment.
Rong Fei walked over and said, “Big sis found a priceless Night Pearl.” She glanced mockingly at Die Fei.
Leng Qiyue smiled and said, “That’s right. I was bored while I was staying in the Moon Flower Hall, so I came out to take a walk. I accidentally saw this courtyard, so I snuck in. I didn’t expect that this big tree, the rhododendron, would be so beautiful that it would love to move to my palace. Just as I was about to break a few branches, the little butterfly found a hole in the tree root and we dug it up. “In the end, half-way through, sister Butterfly was scared away by the ants, hehe …”
Xiao Die and Han Liu couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of Die Fei screaming and running away.
Die Fei was so angry that her face turned red and her body trembled. She fiercely threw the Night Pearl in her hand onto the ground and turned around to leave.
Rong Fei picked up the Night Pearl, looked at it and said, “It’s cracked, what a pity.”
Leng Qiyue laughed, “You can’t eat this kind of thing, it’s not like it’s of much use.”
Rong Fei nodded and said, “That’s right, there are many rare antiques and antiques in the palace. Who knows how many commoners they’ll be helped if they can be converted into silver.”
Surprise flashed through Leng Qiyue’s eyes. She didn’t look like she was putting on an act. This woman was from a good background and had received a good education. If the one she loved wasn’t Dongfang Haotian, then that would be great. In other words, if Dongfang Haotian wasn’t the emperor, then Imperial Concubine Rong would definitely be able to be a competent empress at this moment.
Rong Fei suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, “Elder sister, please don’t laugh. The harem doesn’t allow negotiation, I have really crossed the line.”
Leng Qiyue faintly smiled and said, “Little Sister, you know the gist of it. You’re even more suited to be a queen than I am.”
Rong Fei covered her mouth as she smiled, “Big sister must be joking. The position of Empress must belong to big sister. Don’t tease me.”
Of course, Leng Qiyue couldn’t say that she didn’t care about the position of Empress, because that would be too arrogant. A rhododendron fell. Leng Qiyue caught it with her hand and placed it on top of Rong Fei’s bun, saying, “Little sister is too modest.”
The scene of the two getting along angered Die Fei who was hiding not far away. She humphed and said, “Humph, so you two have been colluding with each other for a long time. I don’t believe that you two are truly on good terms.
Leng Qiyue left the Sunset Pavilion with a smile on her face as she chatted with Rong Fei. Han Liu pulled on the little butterfly who was busy examining the pieces of gold and asked, “What are you doing? “The Empress left.”
Die collected the pieces of gold and laughed, “These are all gold, I can buy a lot of delicious things.”
Han Liu rolled her eyes. In her eyes, Xiao Die was a foodie.
Before they even left the Sunset Pavilion, Rong Fei stopped walking and said, “Elder sister, since we’re here, why don’t we enter the Sunset Pavilion to take a look. Actually, I’ve wanted to take a look since a long time ago, but didn’t dare.”
Leng Qiyue actually wanted to go in as well, she didn’t expect that Rong Fei would bring it up, so she immediately nodded and said, “Okay, let’s go take a look.”
The door to the Sunlight Pavilion was unlocked. After opening the door, a cloud of dust blew towards them, causing them to cough. When the dust had settled, the first thing he saw was a table covered with a pale green tablecloth.
Rong Fei said, “This house has not been taken care of by anyone for the past ten years or so.”
Leng Qiyue did not say anything. She only knew a little about the matters of the palace, so she did not dare to speak carelessly. As the two of them walked in, the ground was left with messy footprints.
The furnishings here were relatively simple, the colors were mostly plain, and the atmosphere of a book filled the air.
Rong Fei sighed and said, “The former Empress is the daughter of a great scholar in the pavilion, she is well-informed and kind-hearted. “What a pity …”
She also felt that it was a pity, but she also felt that it was a pity that the late emperor and the former empress had originally been divine companions, but because of the empress dowager, they hadn’t been able to live a good life.
The Morningstar Pavilion had two floors. The first floor was the study and the bedroom, while the other three walls were all bookshelves. The front window was wide open, and a light green muslin curtain was fluttering in the wind.
Because the windows were not closed, there was less dust here, but a lot of leaves flew in.
Rong Fei walked to the center of the room, where there was an ancient zither. She brushed away the leaves of the tree, touched the zither and said, “The former Empress is the most talented girl in the capital.”
Leng Qiyue had learned music, and it took a lot of effort for her to learn such a thing.
She fiddled with the strings of the zither, and her voice slightly changed. After adjusting for a moment, she asked, “Does little sister want to listen to music?”
Rong Fei laughed carelessly, “Big sister knows the rhythm? “Then little sister will listen attentively. Little sister, you are too timid, don’t scare me.”
Leng Qiyue faintly smiled, ignoring Rong Fei’s teasing. She thought about the tone for a bit, and then tried a few times. After that, a Dreamy Cloud Dragon song, “Dream back to Jiangnan”, flowed out …
“In my dream, I flew back to Jiangnan in one night. The picturesque scene made my soul linger around, making me miss home from my homeland. The beautiful Jiangnan is like a picture scroll, the beautiful scenery makes people linger around, the beautiful scenery makes me feel like I’m living in the world …”
As Leng Qiyue sang, she suddenly felt homesick, and tears started streaming down her face.
Rong Fei also felt a bit sad. She didn’t want to compare to her, as her home was in the capital, she could just go back if she wanted to. However, Leng Qiyue was different. It was said that her home was very far away from the capital. As the saying went, once you entered the palace, it was as deep as the sea. It was very difficult to step outside.
Dongfang Haotian stood outside the door of the Sunrise Pavilion, listening to the sad song. He felt very upset in his heart. Was Leng Qiyue thinking of home? Did she want to leave him?
Butterfly Concubine’s face was filled with surprise. She had never known that Leng Qiyue had this kind of intelligence. It was a strange song. Had she made it herself? What else was this woman hiding?
The more Dongfang Haotian heard, the more troubled he became. He finally shouted: “Enough! What are you guys doing trespassing the forbidden area?”
