Chapter 18 See You Tonight
"Master, don't you go and see?" Mu Lian said happily, "This is the first time I have seen such a white wolf. The fur is actually a little more beautiful than a fox."
"Well, wait and see." Lin Qingluan was actually not very interested.
The morning show is just for others to watch. If it doesn’t break up, Wen Meiren and the others will always be considered to be the same as hers.
She doesn't want this to happen, and it will be of no benefit in the future.
As for foxes or wolves, the palace has never dared to lose food and clothing, and Lin Qingluan doesn't care about these things.
She was eating slowly, and before she could finish her meal, someone came in and told her that the emperor had come here.
Lin Qingluan closed her eyes and asked someone to clean up her meal. Then she got up and went outside to see the white wolf.
This wolf is indeed beautiful, with pure white fur all over, without any variegated color. It feels a bit crystal clear under the sunlight. Lin Qingluan looked at it and felt a little liked.
"How is it? Is it still suitable for your wish?" Shangguan Lie strode to her and asked with a smile.
Lin Qingluan stood up to salute, Shangguan Lie laughed and grabbed her hand: "Do you know how to salute this time?"
"The emperor is here to joke with me again." Lin Qingluan felt a little embarrassed. She thought for a while and said, "There are too many fox skins in the morning. I chose some evenly colored ones and turned around and asked the Office of the Internal Affairs to make a thick cloak for the Queen Mother."
"I know your filial piety." Shangguan Lie's voice was gentle and he pulled her into the house. "But he still had a headache? Why did he drink so much last night?"
"I woke up by the sound of rain and couldn't sleep anymore." Lin Qingluan replied with a smile, but Yu Guang saw someone.
...Why don’t you sleep day and night?
She didn't take it too seriously, and lowered her eyes and followed Shangguan Lie into the room, and served tea with both hands.
"Have you been given a meal?" Shangguan Lie asked her again. Lin Qingluan shook her head slightly, then turned her face to look at him: "I think the emperor will come."
"Hahahaha, since that's the case, just ask someone to find me, why wait?" Shangguan Lie pulled her down and looked at Yu Bao again, "Let's pass on the meal."
After staying together for half an afternoon, Shangguan Lie had to go back to handle government affairs again. Lin Qingluan pulled him and refused to let him go. Shangguan Lie hugged her with a funny look: "Then I'll come back tonight?"
"The emperor has agreed." Lin Qingluan pursed her lips and smiled, and Shangguan Lie also laughed, but in a blink of an eye, I remembered something: "There is news coming from the northern border..."
"Brother? Is he okay?" Lin Qingluan's heart tightened suddenly, but her face became more and more beautiful. "I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Since you miss me, how about I tell him to return to Beijing?" Shangguan Lie lifted up his thin eyelids, speaking casually, but his eyes were dark and unclear.
Lin Qingluan pretended not to see it, and just smiled and said, "Really? That's great! The nephews haven't seen their father for a long time!"
Shangguan Lie smiled faintly again. He touched her head and said, "The northern border is busy, and I don't know when Yaochen will return."
"Oh..." Lin Qingluan lowered her eyes in disappointment, "That's all. My brother does things for the emperor, and he doesn't have to think about going home. It's better to do his best."
"So sensible? Then I want to reward you." Shangguan Lie's smile was not in his eyes, "What do you want, huh?"
"I want the emperor to see me more." Lin Qingluan looked at him without dodging, his voice clear and gentle.
Shangguan Lie smiled again: "Okay, I'll come here tonight."
Lin Qingluan nodded slightly, looking forward to it, but her fingernails penetrated deeply into her palms, and her heart was also disgusting.
Forget it, this day will come sooner or later. She is ready, right?
The emperor left, and the palace maids were a little looser. Mu Tang hummed a song to replace the vase of the bedroom with a new flower arrangement, while sharing the new gossip with Lin Qingluan: "Master, I heard that the white wolf can be captured alive, and it depends entirely on a guard beside the emperor."
"Oh? You are so capable." Lin Qingluan answered casually.
Seeing that she was not interested, Mu Tang changed the topic: "Do you see these flowers beautiful? I don't know what kind of varieties it is. I heard that the garden in the suburbs of Beijing is not managed by a dedicated person, but I didn't expect it to be pretty."
An Lan could see Lin Qingluan's emotions better than others, so she suggested: "When you are free, will your master take us to the garden to have a walk?"
Lin Qingluan was also upset when she stayed, so she changed her clothes and took a group of people to the garden at the foot of the mountain.
Sure enough, the flowers are full of flowers. Although they have not been deliberately taken care of, they have more vitality and vitality than the exquisite and neat things in the palace.
Mu Lian and Mu Tang were still younger. After Lin Qingluan's promise, they happily went to pick flowers again. However, An Lan held Lin Qingluan and walked slowly while making her happy.
Lin Qingluan responded casually, but she was thinking about what Shangguan Lie was going to come to the evening, and she couldn't help but feel the upset.
"Oh, isn't this the Imperial Concubine?" A sharp voice sounded, and Feng Jieyu covered her mouth with a veil, with sneering in her eyes, "How can the Imperial Concubine still be able to see such a broken garden? I heard that the emperor specially ordered people to transport newly cultivated green crabapples from the palace to enjoy the beauties."
Lin Qingluan didn't look back, and An Lan said angrily, "What? Is Concubine Jie bowing to the imperial concubine like this?"
"Hmph, join the Imperial Concubine." Feng Jieyu pretended to be blessed and stood up on her own, "Empress..."
"Kneel down." Lin Qingluan said in a faint voice.
Feng Jieyu was stunned, and Lin Qingluan continued, "You dare to get up before I shouted yet? Who gave you the courage to be disrespectful to me? Kneel down!"
"Empress Concubine!" Feng Jieyu was reluctant to kneel, but Lin Qingluan brought many people with him when he went out. He immediately came over and knelt on the ground with two little eunuchs, holding her shoulders and pressing her to kneel on the ground.
Feng Jieyu's face turned red with anger: "You...did you think you were still the concubine in the past?" Her voice became louder, as if this could save her face. "Now in the emperor's heart, you can't even compare to a beauty, you--"
"Palm and mouth." Lin Qingluan said again.
Feng Jieyu was stunned and shouted in disbelief: "You dare!"
Whether you dare or not is not a louder voice than anyone else. Before Feng Jieyu could finish his words, Mu Tang had already walked over and took the wooden stick with his mouth from the eunuch next to him, and slapped it on Feng Jieyu's face with a "splash".
"Ah!" Feng Jieyu screamed in shock. The palace maid Sui'er, who was serving her, rushed over to stop Mu Tang, but Mu Lian rushed over and pleaded with Lin Qingluan: "Empress Concubine, Empress, please forgive Jieyu! Jieyu didn't mean that, she was, she was worried about the Empress Concubine."
"What's wrong with this palace? It's not a slave's turn to worry about it." Lin Qingluan was full of boredom in her eyebrows, "Twenty strokes."
Feng Jieyu's cheeks quickly swollen. She screamed, but because her hands were cut back, she had no power to resist.
Lin Qingluan was already upset and was even more annoyed by her quarrels. She didn't wait anymore and turned around and left here first.
Feng Jieyu's eyes were about to burst into flames. She was vague in her mouth and couldn't hear what she was saying. She only had her expression as if she had been poisoned and stared at Lin Qingluan's back.
