In Yangxin Palace Hall.
Ling Long and Zhu Houzhao felt very comfortable together. It had been a long time since she felt this way.
She felt that she was free and unrestrained when she was with the young man.
It was as if he was not facing the emperor, but facing his family.
She also knew four or five good sisters in the palace.
These sisters were different from those female officials and eunuchs. These sisters were all selected to enter the palace together and had the same fate…
Those female officials and eunuchs were too strict and unsmiling.
In front of them, these female officials often warned them that the human feelings within the palace walls were as light as paper, and the ravines were as deep as the sea.
"Within the palace walls, there are hidden sabers and swords. You must not have the intention of harming others, but you must be wary of others. Perhaps the person closest to you is the person who wants to kill you. This is the palace!”
Ling Long and the other beauties of Jinling Pavilion were often warned by the female officials.
Although these female officials were so insistent, Ling Long felt that the sisters in Jinling Pavilion were the most amiable and intimate. They didn't have the intention to harm others like the female officials said.
In Ling Long's eyes, only the cold-faced female official was unreasonable. She told them how to climb onto the dragon bed and how to please the Emperor. From the moment they entered the palace, they had been trying to climb onto the dragon bed. Only by climbing onto the dragon bed could they be qualified to live here.
On the third day after Ling Long entered the palace, Xiahou Wan 'er became their female official. She was responsible for teaching them court etiquette and how to serve the emperor.
Linglong remembered that the first thing Xiahou Wan 'er said to them was,""Since you have already entered the palace, you are no longer outsiders. There are rules of survival in the palace!”
"If you want to survive in the palace, you have to put on a mask and climb onto the emperor's dragon bed. Everyone is your opponent, the opponent who will kill you! If you can't climb onto the dragon bed, you'll be trampled under people's feet for the rest of your lives!!”
Linglong had heard from others that Xiahou Wan 'er had been chosen to enter the palace and had a beautiful face that could topple cities. Even now, Xiahou Wan' er was still incomparably beautiful!
She was even more charming than these beautiful women.
They had heard that because of some incident, Xiahou Wan 'er's stomach had been shattered. She would never have children in her life, and she would never be able to be a concubine. She could only be a female official in the palace for the rest of her life.
As for who had broken Xiahou Wan 'er's stomach, no one in the palace dared to say.
However, since then, Emperor Hongzhi did not have any other thoughts. In the entire harem, there was only one empress.
……
In the Yangxin Palace, Zhu Houzhao and Ling Long chatted for nearly two hours, talking about their experiences in Jinling City and Ling Long's growth.
Exquisite had also asked Zhu Houzhao about some things. Zhu Houzhao had described a magnificent world for Exquisite, which was different from the Empire.
That world was a world that Exquisite didn't dare to imagine.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the time. It was time to rest. He stood up and walked out of Yangxin Palace Hall.
The eunuchs outside Yangxin Palace Hall paid their respects to the Emperor, and Zhu Houzhao issued an edict,""Conferring Ling Long the title of Beauty Long, moving out of Jinling Pavilion and moving into Linglong Pavilion.”
"Yes…"
After Zhu Houzhao returned to Yangxin Palace Hall, he looked at Exquisite and said,""Go back and sleep. In a few days, I will go and see you…"
Ling Long walked out of Yangxin Palace Hall and turned to look at the plaque of Yangxin Palace Hall."Is he really the emperor? It's just that…I didn't sleep with him…"
As soon as Ling Long appeared, the eunuchs of Jinling Pavilion quickly bowed and said,""Greetings, Empress…"
Exquisite was at a loss.
She could clearly feel the change in the eunuchs 'attitude towards her. Before she came, these eunuchs were all arrogant, but now they were so respectful. The earth-shattering change surprised Ling Long.
……
After Ling Long returned to the Pavilion of Delicacy in her sedan chair, Xiahou Wan 'er was waiting outside Jinling Pavilion. After Ling Long got off the sedan chair, she was about to pay her respects when Xiahou Wan' er said,""I, Xiahou Wan 'er, pay my respects to Beauty Long…"
In an instant, Exquisite was flattered.
Ever since she entered the palace, Xiahou Wan 'er had been a high and mighty figure. She had disciplined these beautiful women.
Xiahou Wan 'er's official position was also at rank 6. In Jinling City, she was one rank higher than the county magistrate!
It could be said that Xiahou Wan 'er had the highest official position Linglong had ever seen.
But now, Xiahou Wan 'er was actually giving her a blessing. This huge change and contrast made Exquisite feel that the entire world had changed!
After Xiahou Wan 'er was blessed, she asked,""Did Beauty Long serve His Majesty?”
After the first time a female servant served the emperor, the female officials would check on the female servant to see if there was any redness…
" Reporting to Lady Xia Hou, I didn't serve the Emperor. I only chatted with a young man in Yangxin Palace Hall for two hours…"
"What?! You didn't serve the emperor!"
Xiahou Wan 'er was shocked!
"Young man? What kind of youth?"
" He's just a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth…"
Xiahou Wan 'er immediately understood after hearing Exquisite's description.
Who else could Exquisite have seen?
There was only one youth in the entire palace!
That was Emperor Zheng De!
She met the emperor!
Xiahou Wan 'er looked at Exquisite and asked anxiously,""Could it be! Did you not serve the Emperor?"
Xiahou Wan 'er was so excited that her voice was almost heart-wrenching.
"No…"
"No? Ha, you left Yangxin Palace Hall without serving the Emperor?!”Xiahou Wan 'er looked around angrily.
She wished she could find something and beat Ling Long to death right in front of her.
You really didn't serve the emperor?" Xiahou Wan 'er asked unwillingly.
Exquisite shook her head.
Xiahou Wan 'er looked at Exquisite's expression to make sure that she wasn't lying to her. She sighed, and when she looked at Exquisite again, her eyes were filled with the words " rotten wood can't be carved!"
Xiahou Wan 'er roared in her heart!
That was the Emperor!
Do you think any young man can meet a beautiful girl?
This was the emperor flipping the board. The most important thing in the harem, if anyone made a mistake, they would be beheaded!
Who do you think you can meet?
You can only see the emperor!
As a beautiful girl, you were flipped over by the emperor and actually failed to climb onto the dragon bed. How stupid must you be?
If you can climb onto the dragon bed and get pregnant with a dragon heir, your position in the harem will be stable.
But you threw away such an opportunity. There are three thousand beauties in your harem. Do you think you're new to the mortal world?
However, who knows if you will be able to see the emperor again in this life?
If you were lucky enough to climb onto the dragon bed today and give birth to a dragon son, you would be the First Prince and have the best chance of sitting on the throne. That would mean that you had monstrous power in your hands.
But you let this opportunity slip away from your hands…
If you gave birth to a prince or princess, the emperor would be tied to your side!
Even if the Emperor doesn't remember who you are, he remembers his prince!
He remembered his princess!
Wouldn't he remember who you are now?
If you want to play with the mood and hook the emperor by your side, you can play any tricks!
However, you didn't climb onto the dragon bed. The emperor is busy every day. Perhaps he will forget about you tomorrow and leave you in the cold palace, never to be remembered again.
Sigh!
Xiahou Wan 'er sighed and looked at Ling Long, feeling deeply sorry for her. She had missed such a good opportunity.
Ling Long looked at Xiahou Wan 'er. She was confused by the drastic change in Xiahou Wan' er's expression.
"Linglong, oh Linglong! What did I tell you when you entered the palace? How did I teach you to serve the Emperor? Didn't I warn you? If you didn't climb onto the dragon bed, you would always be the one who was stepped on by others and would never be able to turn over a new leaf!”
After Xiahou Wan 'er finished speaking, she turned around and left angrily, leaving Linglong alone outside Jinling Pavilion, not knowing what to do.
Xiahou Wan 'er left. She didn't want to look at Linglong again. She was very similar to herself in the past. She was also in the prime of her life, and she had met the Emperor in the same way.
However, after that night, everything changed. He did not look at her again. He had even forgotten her existence. His heart was completely focused on the woman who had climbed onto the dragon bed.
That night, she thought that she had won the entire harem. Who could drink and laugh in front of the Emperor? She could! In the harem, who could be the emperor's confidant? She could!
But later, she realized that she had lost. She had lost everything. She had lost everything. She had been trampled under someone's feet and would never be able to rise again!
……
"Did I do something wrong?"
Ling Long watched Xiahou Wan 'er leave angrily and entered Jinling Pavilion with a suspicious expression.
Her heart was already beginning to feel uneasy, and she began to speculate about Xiahou Wan 'er's anger. She suddenly remembered something, and the expression on her face gradually changed from confusion to shock."Could it be…Could it be that I really did something wrong?”
Exquisite felt a deep sense of loss at the thought of this…
She suddenly regretted it. If she could do it again, she would definitely not just drink tea and chat with him. She would definitely do something that the female official had taught her.
……
The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear.
The weather in December was extremely cold.
After Zhu Houzhao got up, he changed into his winter dragon robe.
Today was the last court meeting of the first year of Zhengde. After this court meeting ended, the Spring Festival would arrive.
