The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 166 Concubine Feng

Huacai said humanely: "You said that the concubine and Yuncai were sisters who entered the palace together, but she never made out with me, but ran to the empress's Kunde Palace every day, it's really annoying!"

Seeing that she was unsophisticated, Chang Xi was secretly amused, that Yuncai must have been attracted by the empress, of course she had to show courteousness every day, it seemed that the empress was really in a hurry, and she would pull all kinds of people to her side, but she didn't know that Sister Shangguan was her Have you been drawn in?

The talented man said again: "Sister, do you know! Although Your Majesty didn't call anyone else at night and stayed at Concubine Mei, he went to Beauty Xiao several times during the day!"

"Oh? There is such a thing!" Chang Xi really didn't know about it, and she was extremely surprised, thinking that Xiao Mei was as indifferent as a chrysanthemum, and seemed not to be interested in Li Longji's favor, so how could she have such an extraordinary means to make her feel better? It's amazing how much Jiang Caiping loved her when she was alone!

"Hey, but no matter where your majesty goes during the day, he will return to the Dragon Hall at night. I'm so pissed off! Even Mr. Zhang Jiuling doesn't answer his begging outside the Qinzheng building!" Huacai bit his handkerchief, very angrily.

"What are you begging for?" Chang Xi's eyelids twitched!
Huacai said humanely: "Of course it's because His Majesty abandoned government affairs for Jiang Caiping!"

These few words of hers suddenly made Chang Xi think of something, and she was eager to get away to do it, but she babbled endlessly, Chang Xi persuaded her to go back to the bedroom after seeing this.

Mei Er breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the talented man leave, and thought to herself that this man could really speak. Seeing Chang Xi changed into a white palace attire, she hurriedly said, "It's so late, where are you going?"

"Didn't you hear that Zhang Jiuling was kneeling outside the Qinzheng Building?" Chang Xi buttoned up her shirt. Seeing that she was about to go out, Xiao Zhao Zi took out a few hairpins from the dressing box in the dormitory, and was about to put them on for her, but was caught Chang Xi waved her hand and refused.

Mei'er said: "Prime Minister Zhang has a very stubborn temper, it's useless to let someone else go!"

"Who said I'm going to persuade him!" Chang Xi looked at her attire, and deliberately let her hair down again. Her hair and clothes were slightly rippling in the air with the summer evening breeze, "Hug the little prince, let's Walk!"

"Hold the little prince?" Mei'er was taken aback, "It's so late, where are you going to take the little prince!"

"Don't ask! Come with me!" Chang Xi took Mei'er and the little prince, and called up the maids and servants including Xiao Zhaozi. It was quite unlike her usual style, and she published the article in a mighty manner. Xinyuan.

All the way back and forth, Chang Xi's footsteps were so fast that Meier could hardly keep up!Meier thought out of breath, she was not going to persuade Zhang Jiuling, then she was going to persuade Li Longji!Unexpectedly, after turning a few turns and walking through the rockery, I came to Xiaoxiang Garden of Beauty Xiao.

Everyone's eyes brightened.

There is a section of powder wall outside the courtyard, and the courtyard is a piece of green bamboo. There is a gap at the root of the courtyard wall to flow into the clear water. It circles to the front yard and circles around a small garden separated by fences. Covered by bamboo, the stones under the steps are paved into a small path. Walking along the deep winding path, after walking more than ten steps, you can see a wooden plaque with the words "Xiaoxiang Garden" written in traditional characters, without other decorations. Unlike the other concubines' dormitories, there are all kinds of exquisite and luxurious patterns carved on the plaque, and a few poems are engraved on the bamboo boards on both sides: Seeing you off, waving five strings in hand, looking up and being content, wandering in the dark.

Seeing such an arrangement, Chang Xi couldn't help nodding secretly, no wonder His Majesty looked at her differently, but her temperament was different!

"You guys wait here!" Looking at the arrangement, Chang Xi knew that Miss Xiao was a quiet person, fearing that the rest would disturb her rest, so she only brought Mei'er into the bedroom.

At that time, Beauty Xiao had already fallen asleep. Seeing that it was Wu Zhaoyi who came, her personal maid hurriedly went to the inner hall to wake up her master. Another clever maid brought good tea to Chang Xi.

Chang Xi took this opportunity to take a good look at the inner room, and saw that all the utensils were made of bamboo, and there were no extra decorations, only a picture of Zhang Hongyan hung on the wall.On the Xuan Window case, there are many brushes, and beside a stack of thick rice paper, there is an unfinished poem pressed with a paperweight. Chang Xi removes the paperweight, picks up the page of poems and reads carefully: Drunkenness only comes when flowers bloom. Sit in front, get drunk and sleep with flowers, half awake and half drunk day after day, flowers bloom and fall year after year.

Chang Xi thought about it for a while, picked up the brush, and received it on it: I hope that I will die of old age among flowers and wine, and I don’t want to bow before chariots and horses... If flowers and wine are compared to chariots and horses, each other How busy I am idle.

"I kept Lady Zhaoyi waiting for so long!" Meiren Xiao was dressed in a white gauze dress, her long hair was tied on her chest, and she bowed to Chang Xi as a gift.

Chang Xi hurriedly put down the pen, helped her up and said with a smile: "Sister Xiao doesn't have to be like this, I can't be called an empress!"

Beauty Xiao asked Chang Xi to sit down, looked at Mei Er hugging the little prince, and said in surprise: "Chun Ye is here, does my sister have something important to ask?"

Chang Xi saw that she had something to ask for at a glance, the surprise in his eyes flashed, and he half knelt on the ground and said: "I really have something to ask for!"

Xiao Meiren hurriedly helped Chang Xi up, and said repeatedly that sister Zhesha was gone.

"Sister is so humble, she must have something important to do. I remember the day my sister first met the queen, she said a lot of good things for me, and my sister deeply felt it. If you have anything to do at this moment, just order it!" Chang Xi was not only unexpected, but also really moved.

Chang Xi sighed and said: "That day in the election of Furong Garden, Concubine Li talked about the flower and bird envoy, my sister should still remember it!"

"The poor concubine remembers." Xiao Meiren's expression was a little sad, "Why doesn't your Majesty stop this kind of waste of people and money!"

Seeing her saying this, Chang Xi knew that the matter had become three-point again, so he continued: "Recently, not only did His Majesty not summon those so-called flower and bird envoys back, but he also did not go to court for more than ten days in a row, and asked Prime Minister Zhang to kneel in the Qinzheng Building It's just ignoring it! If things go on like this, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be shaken!"

"Isn't the empress not to dissuade you!" Beauty Xiao stomped her feet anxiously.

Chang Xi sighed, and said quietly: "Even if your majesty wants to dissuade you, what can you do if your majesty doesn't listen! Not only that, but I heard from the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the empress empress had a big fight with her majesty in the Dragon Palace, and was arrested His Majesty scolded him and drove them out!"

"It's so serious!" Xiao Meiren covered her mouth and exclaimed, remembering that Li Longji had been staying at Concubine Mei in the Shenlong Palace for the past few days, ignoring the government affairs, and Jiang Caiping didn't say anything to dissuade her. It's really not the luck of the Tang Dynasty that His Majesty favored this woman. , Immediately straightened her dress and said: "Sister Zhaoyi, don't worry! Your Majesty has visited me recently, and I think you still have some nostalgia for me. My sister will go to the Dragon Palace and wake up Your Majesty!"

Chang Xi didn't expect her to be so upright, and she was not afraid of being reprimanded by Li Longji to plead for the people of Datang, so she took her hand and said: "Sister, come on! I am looking for you this time, not to let you lead the way, I am Your Majesty's cousin is also one of the nine concubines, she should be like your majesty's advice, this time I am looking for you, I want to ask my sister, if your majesty Long Yan is furious and throws me into limbo again, please ask my sister to take care of my young child !” As he spoke, he picked up Prince Yi in Mei Er's arms, and placed it in the hands of Beauty Xiao with tears in his eyes.

Xiao Meiren thought that Chang Xi was looking for her to be the leader. Although she felt a little uncomfortable being used, but since she was a child who read sage books, she couldn't see the suffering of the people, so she wanted to be alone and speak out, but she didn't know that Chang Xi was like this After speaking these words to her with all his heart, he seemed to be putting himself on the edge of the battle, and his eyes couldn't help being clouded with mist.

"Sister, I'll go with you!" Xiao Meiren solemnly said.

Chang Xi said in a deep voice: "No, if I fail to persuade His Majesty tonight, I hope my sister can persuade you tomorrow!"

Seeing that Chang Xi had made up her mind, Beauty Xiao looked at Prince Li Yi who was sleeping soundly in her arms, and said firmly: "Sister must take good care of the little prince, please rest assured!"

Chang Xi smiled slightly, and led Mei'er out of Xiaoxiang Garden without looking back.

"Where are we going?" Mei Er was very puzzled by Chang Xi's behavior this time.

Chang Xi glanced at the crescent moon that had just risen, took a breath, and said, "Naturally go to the Dragon Palace!"

Mei'er was taken aback, but seeing Chang Xi's expression, she knew that she would not change her mind, so she could only bite the bullet and accompany her.

"Your Majesty! Look at the painting of my concubine, is it good?" Jiang Caiping dried the ink on the rice paper, and handed the thin drawing paper to Li Longji, who was leaning on the bed and wearing casual clothes.

"This picture of a lady in palace costume is wonderful, especially the eyes of the woman in the painting are so vivid that they seem to be looking at me with roving eyes!" Li Longji praised, thinking that the woman in this painting looks very familiar , took a look under the candlelight, smiled and said: "You painted Chang Xi?!"

Jiang Caiping said kindly, "That day in Furong Garden, the concubine really admired Wu Zhaoyi's talent and learning. Thinking about what I have learned for many years, I am really ashamed of myself!"

When Li Longji heard her talking about Chang Xi, he just let out a long sigh and didn't continue.

"Has Your Majesty ever loved her?" Jiang Caiping noticed the unusual expression of this stern emperor, and asked straightforwardly.

Li Longji smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Many people have asked me this question! Maybe I have loved before!"

"Why don't you love me anymore?" Jiang Caiping asked curiously.

Li Longji said bluntly: "I started to admire her talent, and moreover, I was greedy for her amazing appearance. In addition, she was different from other concubines, so she didn't love me to love a guard. How could I lose to others in my life?" !"

"It turns out that His Majesty is angry and loves her so much!" Jiang Caiping smiled at the bronze mirror, and took off the jewels from her head.

Li Longji was noncommittal.

Looking at Li Longji's expression, Jiang Caiping secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out that the Jiang family has been used to dominating me since she was a child. She selfishly thought that since she has followed a man, she must treat her wholeheartedly, no matter whether he is an emperor or a nobleman. He is still a trafficker and pawn, so he will not let him have feelings for other women. These days in the Dragon Palace, after listening to the maids in the palace telling her about Chang Xi's past, I feel that this amorous emperor treats her a little differently. Now Hearing what Li Longji said, I feel relieved.

"Does Your Majesty still love her?" Jiang Caiping asked again.

Li Longji thought for a moment, did not answer, but pulled her into his arms, and said with a smile: "Spring is short, don't talk about others!"

Jiang Caiping chuckled, and leaned her entire body into his arms. Just as she was about to take off the heavy curtains, she heard Gao Lishi report back outside: "Your Majesty, Wu Zhaoyi has already knelt for half a day outside the Dragon Palace, taking off her hairpin to be punished." It's been two hours, and I won't leave no matter how much the old slave persuades me!"

"It's all right, she didn't do anything wrong, she has to take off her hairpin for whatever she does!" Li Longji stood up and said in surprise.

Gao Lishi wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "I don't know why this old slave! But Wu Zhaoyi keeps saying that he wants to see you!"

Li Longji hesitated.

Seeing this, Concubine Mei ordered: "Tell Wu Zhaoyi that His Majesty has already fallen asleep, let her meet again tomorrow!"
