The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 189

"No! The empress is weak now. If this continues, she will lose the qualification to compete with Concubine Li, and it will be disadvantageous to us at that time!" Chang Xi waved his hand, the two tigers are fighting, and they must be evenly matched.

Chang Xi looked at the direction of the small boat, pointed at Dongfang and smiled, "Sister, row over there, I'll go to the Qinzheng Building to see your Majesty!"

"Okay!" Meiren Xiao lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time when she was a child, and her boating skills are the most exquisite, and she sent Chang Xi to the shore in a short time without any effort.

"Sister, go! My sister won't accompany you!" Beauty Xiao smiled as she gathered her clothes as a gift.

Chang Xi covered her mouth and smiled, "Why is my sister so unhappy every time I want to see His Majesty? Are you afraid that His Majesty will eat you?"

Xiao Meiren blushed, lowered her head and said nothing.

Chang Xi didn't force her anymore, she straightened her clothes, and was about to go to the Qinzheng Building. When she turned around, she saw several Jinwu guards eating cakes leaning on the railing, some of them were jokingly breaking the cakes into several pieces , thrown into the lake.

"Nonsense!" Chang Xi frowned and yelled, and moved towards that side with his sleeves lifted.

Several Jinwu guards were startled by the low shout, and when they raised their eyes, they saw Wu Zhaoyi, who quickly bowed and bowed, and threw the cake in his hand into the lake without hesitation.

Chang Xi raised his eyebrows and said: "You are all high-ranking guards around His Majesty, don't you know that the people are suffering, and what crime should you deserve for wasting food like this!"

Xiao Meiren and Hua Cairen followed, Xiao Meiren knew the sufferings of the people, and felt displeased to see them being so extravagant and wasteful, but Hua Cairen felt that Chang Xi was making a fuss out of a molehill, and was very disapproving.

"What's the matter?" A man in the distance passed by wearing flowers and supporting willows with many attendants. When they approached, they realized that it was Li Longji, and hurriedly greeted him.Chang Xi briefly narrated the whole story, Li Longji raised his brows angrily, and angrily scolded: "Are you all wasting like this on weekdays!"

"I don't dare! Today... today is really an unintentional mistake, please forgive me!" Several Jinwu guards trembled in fright when they saw Li Longji's anger.

Li Longji said coldly: "With such a bad deed, how can you be worthy of being a Jinwu guard in the palace? Get out of the palace!"

Wherever these words were said, His Majesty's forgiveness words by the side of Longchi kept coming and going.

Seeing this, Chang Xi felt a little guilty. He just couldn't see it and wanted to reprimand them, but he didn't know that they would be punished like this, so he pleaded: "Your Majesty, it's their first offense, please forgive them this time. !"

Li Longji pondered for a moment, and said: "Since Wu Zhaoyi pleaded for you, I will let you go this time and not expel you from the palace, but each of you will be fined for two months. Go to Shanggong Bureau to receive the punishment!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Wu Zhaoyi." They nodded their heads and ran away in a hurry.

General Hengyue was originally standing behind Li Longji as a guard, but now he walked in front of him, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please punish me for failing to control my subordinates well!"

Li Longji said lightly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, get up."

Only then did Heng Yue stand up from the ground and return to behind Li Longji.

Chang Xi looked at the pale beauty Xiao and said in surprise: "What's wrong with my sister? Is she feeling unwell, why is her face so pale?"

"Maybe it's because of the heavy dew this morning and the beauty's thin body, that's why it's like this!" Huacai said looking at Beauty Xiao who was trembling in the wind.

Li Longji held Xiao Meiren's hand, it was as cold as jade, and said softly: "Since you are not feeling well, don't blow the wind by the Longchi, go back to the bedroom and rest!"

Xiao Meiren forced a smile: "Then the concubine will leave first!"

"I'll go back with Sister Beauty!" Huacai also bowed out.

Li Longji took Chang Xi's hand and walked along the path of Longchi, the weeping willows were swaying, and the pond was full of flying catkins.

"I didn't expect you to be so virtuous." Li Longji smiled without sarcasm, "This cake is small, but the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more stable, and many people have lost the idea of ​​​​being prepared for danger in times of peace. It’s small, but it can contain the momentum.”

Chang Xi also laughed, "What? Your Majesty always thought I was a little goblin who disrupted the country's affairs?"

Li Longji gritted his teeth and said: "I just finished praising you, and immediately revealed my true colors!"

After hearing this, Chang Xi stuck out her tongue and made a grimace.

Li Longji was taken aback. Ever since he forced her, he hadn't seen her naughty appearance for many years. Whether it was being stubborn and harsh, washing her face with tears, or being cautious and obedient, he had often learned from her over the years, only such a beautiful smile , but it has long been dusty in memory. I didn't expect her to have a girly and lively side.

"Why are you in such a good mood today?" Li Longji was a little puzzled.

Chang Xi smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I finally figured it out."

"Think about what?" Li Longji asked.

Chang Xi stretched his waist, and said: "I was too tired to live in the past, and now I will rely on Your Majesty and think about nothing!"

Li Longji was very satisfied with this answer, but after a while, he sighed in front of the wind.

"Is there something troubling your Majesty? Let me hear it?" Chang Xi played with the tender willow in his hand.

Li Longji said: "I have too many things to worry about every day, such as the funeral of the queen's father."

"How to deal with it, His Majesty has the final say, who dares to object?" Chang Xi said lightly.

Li Longji said: "Xiao Qing advocates keeping everything simple, but the uncle of the country uses the reason that the father-in-law has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and wants to increase the standard of the funeral, which really gives me a headache."

Chang Xi thought to himself, this Xiao Qing is Concubine Li's minion, of course he doesn't want Wang Shouyi to take advantage of his father's death to revive the power of the Wang family, but judging from Li Longji's usual behavior, he must agree to keep things simple and simple. Yes, after thinking about it now, he said: "The concubine also advocates keeping everything simple!"

"Oh?" Sure enough, Li Longji's eyes lit up, "Let's hear it!"

Chang Xi smiled and said: "My concubine also knows that His Majesty and His Majesty's relationship is behind him, but expressing grief may not need to be so extravagant and wasteful. I heard Zhang said that the inscription on the master's inscription is very good, it is better for Master Zhang to do the inscription. His Majesty will write it on the stone himself. This not only shows His Majesty's grief for the country's father, but also put an end to the extravagant and wasteful momentum of the previous dynasty, wouldn't it be great!"

Li Longji also clapped his hands and said: "Your idea is very good!" For a moment, I don't know what to look at the beautiful woman in front of me, and said thoughtfully: "Wu's women are really born with political minds!"

Hearing what he said, Chang Xi was so frightened that she quickly broke free from Li Longji's hand, knelt on the ground and said: "The concubine is terrified, and she is wholeheartedly sharing worries for His Majesty, and has never thought of interfering in the government affairs."

Li Longji smiled lightly, "I didn't say anything, don't be afraid of this!"

Chang Xi stood up anxiously. If Li Longji suspected that she, like Wu Zetian, had the intention of intervening in politics, then everything would be over. The little trust she had just gained from him and the relationship she had established would be destroyed. She firmly believed that a An emperor who is so politically sensitive will never keep a bomb-like figure by his side for a long time.

Fortunately, Li Longji only mentioned a word, and without saying anything, he pulled Chang Xi up who was kneeling.

"How is the Queen these days?" Li Longji held Chang Xi's hand unwilling to let go.

Chang Xi relieved her breath, and said: "The empress washes her face with tears all day long, Your Majesty should go and see her, after all, she is the lord of the palace."
