The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 228
Chang Xi smiled and said: "Your Majesty gave me the ointment, so it recovered very quickly!"

Concubine Li's originally haughty expression froze, why did His Majesty reconcile with her?

Seeing that Chang Xi had a tendency to win, Feng Lu hurriedly brought the topic to her scars, and said with a sneer, "I remember that Wu Zhaoyi couldn't wear a shirt with a wide collar and big sleeves!"

Shangguan Jieyu was afraid that the newly promoted concubine would not understand and hurriedly answered: "Wu Zhaoyi used to be a court lady. Because she committed a felony, she was branded with the word "slave" on her chest, so she didn't wear open-necked shirts all over again. Yes, that's a great shame, you should wear more clothes to cover it up!" He said with a smile on his face.

Dong Fangyi and Lin Deyi let out an oh, and seemed to understand a little bit of the previous doubts.

Concubine Li looked at Chang Xi complacently. Every time this lowly slave was moved out, Chang Xi would be defeated. Last time at the palace banquet, she left sadly, and this time would be no exception.

Unexpectedly, Mei'er behind Chang Xi was not angry, and said with a smile: "Zhaoyi, it's much warmer in this flower hall than outside, let this servant take off this shawl, so as not to get prickly heat from covering it, Your Majesty will feel distressed again!"

These words were very loud, Concubine Li saw that she was going to take off the shawl to humiliate herself, she just sneered and didn't speak, when Meier took off the shawl on Chang Xi's upper body, her eyes almost popped out in surprise.

"Ah! What a beautiful flower!" Lin Deyi couldn't help but let out an admiration.

Guo Shunyi sighed, "Did my sister dry that peony and stick it on her chest?"

"No!" Chang Xi smiled lightly.

Dong Fangyi doubted: "No? It's not why they look so similar!"

Mrs. Zheng Guo, Mrs. Yang smiled slowly: "It doesn't matter if the word "slutty slave" is printed on the chest. After all, the little girl has done something wrong, and it is just a punishment. I think that generation of talented Shangguan Wan'er was also punished by Queen Zetian. Qiongmian, but later he was not favored by the Zhongzong, so the imprint is not harmful. Who knows that His Majesty took pity on the little girl, and summoned skilled craftsmen from the Tang Dynasty to remove the imprint of the lowly slave for Xi'er. The little girl is grateful to the Holy Grace. I have a national flower tattooed on my chest to show my respect for the empress!"

Everyone stopped listening. Although those low-ranking concubines had their own thoughts, they all became awed by Chang Xi when they saw the exquisite peony flower tattoo in front of them. It turned out that Li Longji loved Wu Zhaoyi so much. It seems that Wu Zhaoyi Yi's fall from grace is simply a rumor.

"It's so strange!" Concubine Li sneered and said, "Why Wu Zhaoyi dared to tattoo peonies on his chest? It's not disrespectful to the queen, but respectful? Don't Mrs. Zheng Guo think this rhetoric is too ridiculous!"

Yang smiled lightly, "The empress is dignified and virtuous, she is a person that a little girl should respect, no more than some concubines, His Majesty liked her very much in the past, but she hurt His Majesty's heart after all!"

A word was said without any scruples, which made Concubine Li furious, and was about to explode on the spot. Feng Lu beside her tugged at her dress, and pouted at the queen. Concubine Li was very proud to see the queen smiling , I temporarily suppressed the anger in my heart, just sneered a few times without answering.

Feng Lu took a deep breath, and for some reason, she felt uneasy in her heart, Chang Xi had always been hiding in the gap between Concubine Li and the Empress, with her tail between her legs, what happened today?Who gave her the confidence to declare war on Concubine Li face to face!Although she entered the Jiaofang Palace with a position lower than her own and became the lord of the first palace, she has faintly fallen out of favor in recent months, and she has no children. How dare she be so rampant!
Chang Xi listened leisurely to his mother Yang's conversation with everyone, smiled inwardly, and praised: Jiang is still old and hot, and the fox is still old and smart. Li Longji's every move last night will undoubtedly tell Chang Xi again. An important fact is that she is no longer a concubine who serves the monarch based on her looks, but after she has truly become a queen and concubine Li, his "heart" finally has a harem to compete with concubine Li and the queen. The capital, so there is no need to hide her strength anymore, what she needs to do now is to show her love!
It's a pity that Shangguan Jieyu was so stupid that she didn't think of this, so she found fault and said: "I heard that my sister rubbed the ointment given by His Majesty? Did Eunuch Gao give it to my sister? Your Majesty will not go to my sister's place in person, right?" My sister dared to say that my sister looked like yesterday, but I really dare not see people!" He said with a smile, and his words were full of gloating.

Mei'er said proudly behind her: "Thank you Shangguan Jieyu for your concern, His Majesty personally applied the Snow Mountain Jade Toad Ointment on Zhaoyi's affected area. His Majesty was afraid that something might happen to Zhaoyi, so he took care of her in Jiaofang Hall for one night. See you this morning. The red thread on Zhaoyi's face faded away, so she went to court with peace of mind!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the flower hall opened their eyes wide!They all thought that Li Longji sent Gao Lishi to deliver the ointment, otherwise, seeing Chang Xi's appearance yesterday, how could they still eat!Who would have thought that His Majesty went there in person, not only went there in person, but also dispensed the medicine himself, what does that mean!It shows that His Majesty doesn't care about Wu Zhaoyi's disfigurement, but also loves her as before!
This kind of favor is really shocking, even the always proud Concubine Mei looks at Chang Xi differently.

Chang Xi lowered his head and didn't answer, for a moment, he smiled and said, "I don't know what mistake Cao Ye Na Ji has committed, and Sister Li Concubine punished her so severely!"

When everyone heard this sentence, they came back to their senses and remembered that ignorant slave girl was still kneeling on the ground!
Wei'er told Chang Xi about the matter intermittently, and Chang Xi stepped down from the wooden case and helped Naji Cao Ye up. The two servants next to her were frightened by her sharp eyes and knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up. Even Eunuch Huang didn't dare to stop him.

Seeing that Ji Cao Ye's cheeks were red and swollen, there was blood at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were crying like peaches, Chang Xi helped her to sit beside him, and said calmly: "The punishment has already been punished, please ask Sister Li Concubine Raise your hand high."

Concubine Li saw that Chang Xi was in the limelight today, and she was trying to find a way to suppress her. This time, she will be sent to her door, but she will be humiliated. Anyway, her right to be the assistant to the Sixth Palace has been taken away, so she snorted coldly, "This It's not Wu Zhaoyi's turn to intervene in the matter of disciplining the harem!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Zheng Guo took out a piece of yellow silk from her sleeve robe and presented it to the queen with both hands. The queen and everyone were a little puzzled, not knowing what it was, so they signaled Aunt Youlan to come down and take it, and unfold it for a look. But it was Li Longji's imperial decree. The queen read it carefully, and said after a while: "Your Majesty has restored Wu Zhaoyi's right to assist the Six Palaces!"

Chang Xi smiled and said to Concubine Li: "I just forgot to take it out, thanks to my sister for reminding me." Concubine Li was about to show off her prestige, but she was slapped in the face instantly, her face turned into a pig's liver, and she couldn't get down.

"Eunuch Huang!" Chang Xi yelled in a long voice, which made him shiver, kneel on the ground, and shouted Wu Zhaoyi Wanfu.

Chang Xi said coldly: "Although you are acting according to the wishes of the concubine Li, Naji Cao Ye is His Majesty's woman after all. Although His Majesty has not given her a title, she is of the same rank as a fifth-rank talent. It's not serious, Your Majesty will spoil her tonight, if you see her like this, father-in-law, I'm afraid you will go to the Ye Ting Bureau to spend the rest of your life!"
