With one sentence, the entire palace became silent instantly, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop clearly.
Not only that, even if Lin Qingge lowered his head, he could feel the cold and dark eyes on his head, and the killing intent that permeated the surroundings could almost condense into substance.
She had been sitting there with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes down, not showing any signs of strangeness.
After a while, Concubine An's voice sounded again: "Since you are here for Qiuyue's marriage, why are you asking for me and Zhang'er?"
"The empress has a noble body, so she can naturally be favored by us juniors. In addition, my sister is marrying His Highness, so as long as His Highness is safe, she will naturally have a beautiful life." Lin Qingge answered very naturally, as if he had already thought of the answer.
"As expected, she is very sharp-tongued. Not only is she beautiful, she is also smart."
"I love you so much, but when it comes to appearance, how can I compare to you? Your skin is as thick as gelatin, and you are like a startled dragon. I..."
As she spoke, she unconsciously raised her hand to touch her cheek. After noticing this movement, she immediately put her hand down and said, "Please atone for your sins. Your Majesty is very approachable. I am a concubine who has overstepped her bounds."
"It doesn't matter, what's wrong with you?"
"The birthmark on my concubine's face is not completely clear. It is just a little lighter and covered with powder. Naturally, it is not as beautiful and flawless as the empress, which makes people envious."
Concubine An said "Oh" and her eyes flickered across her face, but she did not continue to dwell on this issue.
"Speaking of which, I do intend to take you to the rooftop to see, not only for Zhang'er and Qiuyue's marriage. General Chu has not woken up for a long time. Your Majesty is worried and the court is uneasy. I am also concerned."
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty." Lin Qingge stood up and bowed, "If my husband knew that Your Majesty was so concerned about you, he would definitely turn around and return to the world when he gets to the Naihe Bridge."
"Where is my concern? This world cannot be separated from the general."
Can these words be said casually, or can they be heard casually?
Lin Qingge was not stupid and responded immediately: "My Majesty is joking, my husband is just a warrior. Without His Majesty's trust and Majesty's entrustment, how could he have achieved what he has today? All of this is because of Your Majesty's great blessings to the heavens and your Majesty's Fengyi." The world."
The late empress had passed away a long time ago. Concubine An ruled the Sixth Palace and was deeply favored by Emperor Zhou. It was taboo to say that the mother was in the world, but it was different with Fengyi in the world.
Concubine An was obviously very useful, and the expression on her face became softer and softer: "What a clever person. Please accompany me to the rooftop to have a look."
As she said this, she stretched out her arms to Lin Qingge, and Lin Qingge immediately stepped forward to help Concubine An up.
The two of them walked out chatting and laughing, seemingly ignoring Mrs. Lin and Lin Qiuyue.
Lin Qiuyue frowned dissatisfied and said softly: "Mom, what's wrong with aunt? Why do you talk so much to that bitch?"
Mrs. Lin first glared at Lin Qiuyue, then lowered her voice: "What kind of place is this? You can talk nonsense! Have you forgotten the words and deeds I told you before coming here? Shut up now, everything will be arranged by your aunt. "
After giving some serious warnings, she followed Lin Qiuyue.
In the palace, there was an eunuch every three steps and several maids every five steps. There were people everywhere. Lin Qingge couldn't help but murmur in his heart as he looked at such a tight guard. How did some of the unethical things happen in history?
It can only be said that there is a gap in everything.
The rooftop is located between the front court and the rear palace. It is a star-catching tower with a height of 100 meters.
Before coming, Mr. Jiu talked a lot with Lin Qingge, but after seeing it, she felt a feeling of "the working people are really great" in her heart.
You must know that in this era without cranes and large machines, many things are purely handmade. Such a high tower is not only the investment of people's material and financial resources, but also the great wisdom of the people.
but……
This building is a hundred meters high, and there is no elevator at this time. It can't be flying with a sword, right?
It can only be said that it is precisely because it is so difficult to go up to the Star-Zhaing Tower that it is said to pray for blessings here. After all, where there is a will, there is a way.
"Oh my god, it's so high! Do we want to climb up? I'm too tired, I don't want to go." Lin Qiuyue's surprised and dissatisfied voice sounded from behind.
Lin Qingge clearly saw the dissatisfaction in Concubine An's eyes.
Concubine An's current status is inevitable because of her mother's family's contribution, but it is inseparable from her own intelligence.
It is difficult for such a person not to suffer from stupidity.
In addition, her goal was to support Zhou Chengzhang to rise to a higher position, but in the end, Lin Qiuyue ruined Zhou Chengzhang's reputation. With such a stupid personality, she might cause a lot of trouble in the future. How could Concubine An not hate her?
Lin Qiuyue is destined not to live long.
A slap suddenly sounded, interrupting Lin Qingge's thoughts and attracting her attention.
Mrs. Lin slapped Lin Qiuyue without mercy, then pulled her to kneel on the ground, her voice trembling: "The child is ignorant, please don't blame me."
Concubine An had a gentle smile on her face, and the dissatisfaction she felt just now seemed to have never appeared.
She walked over and stretched out her hand to help Mrs. Lin, and then stretched out her hand to touch Lin Qiuyue's face: "Yao'er, I'm afraid you won't be able to change your anxious temper in this life. Why are you so rough with your own children? She's a natural Gong’s future daughter-in-law cannot let you reprimand her like this.”
"Your Majesty, I am impatient."
"You said she is a child. It is normal to say a few uninflected words. You can teach her slowly in the future." An Guifei smiled and looked up at Zhaixing Tower again, sighing softly, "I have been suffering from waist pain recently. It’s great, I’m afraid I won’t be able to go up, what should I do?”
Asking what to do, his eyes kept flicking to Lin Qingge. Who didn’t know what that meant?
Lin Qingge was not a fool, so he naturally understood what the other party was thinking.
But her purpose in entering the palace was to see the ancient books in the Star Reaching Tower. Even if the road ahead was a trap designed by them, she could only bite the bullet and move forward.
"Empress," she bowed and saluted, "since you are not feeling well, I will send you to the Zhaixing Tower to pray for you and Your Highness."
"That's a lot of trouble for you." Concubine An smiled and pulled her up, "As people get older, their physical strength is not as good as before, and there is no way to compare with young people like you. Then I'm sorry to trouble you. It was just the first day of last month. I put a bracelet on the top of the tower when I was praying, please remember to help me take it down."
"Yes, concubine."
"Caiyue, go and see the young lady into the Star-Zhaing Tower."
"yes."
Lin Qingge stepped back slightly. Unexpectedly, there was some movement on her side. Concubine An said: "Prayers must be sincere. It would not be appropriate to have a maid with you. Young Madam can go alone, right?"
What can be done? Can it be plotted?
If nothing else happens, something will happen to her when she enters the Star Reaching Tower.
