Leng Qiyue was exasperated as she looked at this handsome fellow in front of her. This fellow was indeed handsome, but why was he so stupid?
"Eh? Why didn't he show his true form? I'll... I'll... "I'll click …"
Leng Qiyue felt as though her forehead was about to be pierced through by him. She said angrily, "Have you caused enough trouble?"
That beautiful man was stunned, his mouth immediately became an "O" shape.
Leng Qiyue stood up and patted her clothes. As expected of the emperor's clothes, they were of excellent quality. With a pat, they would be able to remove all the dust and debris.
"Are you the butterfly monster? But you are not the Emperor, because you are a woman. You are too young to be Her Majesty, but you are dressed in bright yellow... "Well, I see. You're a traitor and you want to rebel." The handsome guy was indeed lacking in guts.
Leng Qiyue clenched her fists and took a deep breath as she muttered to herself, "Calm down, calm down …"
"Someone – there's a rebel here!" The guy actually shouted loudly.
Leng Qiyue really wanted to slap him to death, but time was not allowed. It seemed like a lot of people suddenly appeared in a quiet place. There was one other thing she hated the most, and that was Her Majesty.
When the empress dowager saw the shock in Leng Qiyue's eyes, she frowned and said to the guards, "Someone, arrest this traitor."
Leng Qiyue looked at the empress dowager and clenched her fists. She was prepared to pinch the empress dowager's neck and use a bit of force in this world to eliminate a scourge.
"Stop." Dongfang Haotian arrived in time.
The empress dowager gave a cold snort. "Your majesty, this woman is wearing a bright yellow robe. It's obvious that she's planning to rebel. Can't This Dowager take her?"
Dongfang Haotian took Leng Qiyue into his arms and said, "The empress dowager might not know this, but we have already conferred her the title of Imperial Consort."
The empress dowager's eyes flickered. "Even with a imperial concubine, you can't wear bright yellow clothes. Even This Dowager and Empress aren't casually allowed on."
Dongfang Haotian faintly smiled and said: "I allow Imperial Concubine Leng to wear bright yellow. As long as she likes it, I will allow her to sit on my Dragon Throne."
The empress dowager's face turned unsightly. She pointed a finger at the emperor, trembling for a long time, but unable to say a single word. Dongfang Haotian laughed loudly, hugged Leng Qiyue and left.
Only after a long time did the empress dowager squeeze out two words from between her teeth. "Dumb Monarch!"
The crowd dispersed, leaving behind only the handsome man. He slapped his head and said, "Aiya, catching a demon!"
After returning to the Wolong Palace, Leng Qiyue said, "It's not good for you to confront the empress dowager like this, right?"
Dongfang Haotian smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry about it. I used Imperial Concubine Xi to distract the empress dowager's attention, but she still didn't let you go." "It would be better to raise your status, making it easy for you to dodge arrows while in the shadows. I am just moving this battle from the shadows to the surface."
Leng Qiyue thought that this was also true. Since fighting in the dark was not an option, she might as well put the war on the open. Everyone should be prepared for this. What are you going to do next? Since you want to raise my position, why not just bestow me the title of Queen? "
Hearing this, Dongfang Haotian raised his eyebrows and asked: "You want to be an empress?"
Leng Qiyue shook her head. "It's not a question of whether I want to or not. It seems like the empress is the biggest in the imperial harem."
Dongfang Haotian put down the imperial reports in his hands and said: "It's not impossible to be a queen, but once you're a queen you have to manage all the minor matters of the harem, do you still have time to help me?"
"Huh?" Leng Qiyue had not thought about all this, she thought that she had the most right to be the empress.
Dongfang Haotian continued, "I won't seal it. The Minister of the Left cannot let go of his power. What her daughter wishes for the most is to be reunited with her. It's good that she has hope."
Leng Qiyue looked at him with disdain, using her mouth to say, "Despicable!"
Dongfang Haotian understood. He laughed and said: "Since ancient times, which emperor isn't despicable? Which emperor wasn't shameless? "Alright, let's not talk about this. Do you want the phoenix talisman?"
Leng Qiyue asked, "What are Phoenix talismans?"
"The phoenix talisman is an imprint letter. The concubines with the phoenix talisman can work with the empress to manage the harem. If there isn't a queen, then the person holding the phoenix talisman will be in charge of the harem." Dongfang Haotian explained.
When Leng Qiyue heard this, she hurriedly shook her head. "No, no. I don't care who cares. I don't have that sort of free time."
Dongfang Haotian had an expression as if he had known this for a long time. He picked up a imperial report and handed it to her, "I'll have to trouble you with this matter."
Leng Qiyue took the memorial paper. It was written by an official of Linjiang, who was near the capital, and it said that ten days ago, the Lijiang River had burst into a great flood and destroyed the dam. At this moment, the people were displaced and requested the imperial government to send someone to help with the disaster relief.
"Big water? What are you going to do? " Leng Qiyue asked with a frown.
Dongfang Haotian sighed and said, "The official in charge of Lijiang is called Wang Ming. He was promoted from a small county. He was an honest man and a good officer, so I sent him to Linjiang instead of staying in the capital. "I want you to take two thousand men and relief supplies to Linjiang. Would you like to go?"
Leng Qiyue put down her memorial and said, "Okay, this is also a good opportunity to win over the hearts of others, but... It won't be that quiet over at the empress dowager's place, will it? "
Dongfang Haotian nodded. "That's right. The empress dowager has already sent someone to deliver a hundred thousand taels of silver in the name of Lin Fei. She's also planning this flood."
Leng Qiyue smiled. "Alright, prepare yourself. Tomorrow, I will go to Linjiang in the name of the Emperor, but …" I want to go see Bai Lan. I don't know if Grandmaster Wu Shu can save him. "
Dongfang Haotian didn't say anything and only nodded.
"Reporting to your majesty, the Moon Palace has been properly tidied up. There's no need to change the furniture inside, we'll just wait for Imperial Concubine's opinion." "No," said Dford, bowing.
When Leng Qiyue heard the name Moonflower Palace, she knew that it was her new residence. After being in the palace for so long, she had returned to the original location. The only good thing was that she was familiar with the both of them.
Dongfang Haotian said, "Bring the imperial concubine over there. If you need anything, just tell the inner palace. Just do it, there's no need to ask me."
"Yes, Imperial Concubine, please follow me." He was very polite to Leng Qiyue.
Just like that, Leng Qiyue, wearing Dongfang Haotian's clothes, followed him to the Moonflower Palace with disheveled hair. The furnishings were not luxurious, but they were noble and generous. The inner courtyard was very big, one would have to walk through the long, carved corridor to the main hall, and then arrive at a flowerbed. Behind the flowerbed was a field of raindrops and stones, one could step on them to enter the main hall. Along the way, he saw six palace maids and four eunuchs bustling around. The higher the level, the larger the residence. Even more people came to serve him. Leng Qiyue felt a little proud of herself.
After entering the main hall, the first thing that caught his eye was a huge red coral tree. The branches that had spread out were like a small screen. This thing must be very valuable. After passing by the coral, he found a huge sandalwood bed with a white jade tea table and jade tea set. There were four chairs on each side of the couch. These chairs were also made of sandalwood, causing the entire hall to smell of sandalwood, allowing one to feel tranquil.
But there was one thing that Leng Qiyue could not help but ask, "Eunuch De, these pieces of furniture are made of sandalwood, right? "The quality of sandalwood is not very hard. Can you get to know each other by making furniture?"
Eunuch De smiled and said, "Empress might not know this, but the sandalwood fragrance is different from the sandalwood incense. This type of sandalwood incense can only be used for furniture. Although the fragrance is strange, it is not luxurious either."
"So it's like that!" After receiving a satisfactory answer, Leng Qiyue knew that the furniture would not break upon touching it, so she sat on the bed and leaned against the cushions. "Can Han Liu and Senior Servant Lan be brought over at the Late Fragrance Pavilion?"
"My lady, they've gone to the Internal Affairs Bureau to exchange their identity tokens. I believe they'll be coming to the Moon Palace soon to serve us."
Leng Qiyue nodded, but just as she was about to speak, she heard someone from the yard shout, "Butterfly demon, don't even think about escaping!"
Leng Qiyue held her forehead and sighed, "Eunuch De, do you know who that man outside is? Why was he allowed to enter and leave the harem at will?
"He is the brother of Prince Leng. He has no official position. "He is also one of the Imperial Advisors' favorite disciples. In the future, he will be the one to inherit the position of Imperial Advisor."
Leng Qiyue opened her mouth wide in shock. That man was actually Leng Ran's little brother, the future Imperial Advisor? Heavens, if he became the Imperial Advisor, the future of this country would be bleak.
"Help …" From outside the door came the cry of a woman, followed by the cry of a priest …
