The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 324

It turned out that ever since this beautiful girl named Yang Huier spoke badly to Chang Xi in that general election, she was punished by Li Longji to be a sweeping maid in the Jiaofang Palace. In the first few years, Chang Xi didn't care, but later, Chang Xi I also feel that it is a pity that she has always been a court lady with such a good appearance. She was just a little bit younger and more energetic back then. The edges and corners should be smoothed after years of experience, so she persuaded Li Longji to give her the lowest talent position. point.But Li Longji refused, and said: "Let her sweep the ground in Jiaofang Palace for the rest of her life. With her as an example, I want to see which concubine in the six palaces dares to disrespect you!"

Now that Li Longji has said so, Chang Xi has nothing to do, but Li Longji's method is very effective. Since then, although Chang Xi is not a queen in name, she has greatly surpassed the former abolished queen queen in terms of power and favor. Especially in the past few years, Li Longji has been almost obedient to her, and has never disobeyed her in any way.Among the six palaces, only Chang Xi is the only one who is the only one. Since the bright moon is in front, the group of firefly candles dare not compete for glory. It is surprising that the sixth palace is as calm as water.

Poor Yang Hui'er, who was so quick-tongued back then, was punished for 17 years. She changed from a domineering young girl to a vicious court lady.Yang Huier didn't dare to say much after being hurt by Du Meiren's spear and stick today, but she just said coldly: "The servant girl is just a little sweeping maid in the Jiaofang Palace, Du Meiren wants to stand up and can't afford to find a slave girl! After saying that, he took the broom to the other side and continued to clean.

Dumei snorted coldly, and spat: "You're smart!"

"Let's go, it's not good if we're late!" Yan Cairen tugged Ladumei's sleeve.

The two entered the Jiaofang Hall side by side. At this time, Chang Xi was already seated in the middle of the hall. Seeing the second daughter coming, she smiled and said, "Sisters, sit down!"

"Thank you Concubine Hui!" Du Meiren and Yan Cairen quickly found their seats.

Chang Xi, who was kneeling behind the table in the palace, was wearing a honey-colored long skirt with a pattern of large brocade flowers and peonies, a blouse with a phoenix wearing peony, and the most popular Wangxian bun, with hairpins on her black temples. Walking with a pair of red gold phoenixes drawn from silk, each of the pair of golden phoenixes held a luminous pearl in their mouths, making Chang Xi's whole body covered with a layer of light from the jewels, making it even more luxurious.

Time seems to be particularly partial to this beloved concubine. She is already in her forties, and she looks like a young girl from a distance. No wonder His Majesty loves her so much!Du Meiren looked at Chang Xi and sighed in her heart.

After a while, all the concubines came in one after another. Meier was still in a plain dress, and she was seated closest to Chang Xi, while the rest of the concubines were seated according to their rank.

Chang Xi looked around and saw that Concubine Mei's seat was still vacant, she frowned slightly and said: "Sister Mei Concubine's old problem has committed again?"

Wei'er stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's guess is right! Since a few days ago, after admiring the flowers in the Furong Garden, I felt a little hot when I went back, and I'm still resting in the Dragon Palace, please don't blame me, Madam!"

Chang Xi smiled slightly, "My sisters don't need to be too polite! Originally, the monthly routine visits to the palace have been waived. Today, I have something to discuss with my sisters, so I just notified you shortly. The reason is nothing else. A few days will be the Shangsi Festival, His Majesty will entertain all the ministers at Qujiang Pond, I think, the border has won a great victory in the near future, General Guo Ziyi will return to Chang'an in a few days, His Majesty will personally go to the suburbs of Beijing to greet you, sisters also have to prepare some programs, On that day, it will be better to help His Majesty to have fun!"

Caoye Naji clapped her hands happily and said, "Since the New Year's Eve, there has been no big banquet in the palace, this time it will be an eye-opener again!"

Huamei laughed, poked Caoye Naji next to her, and said, "You mustn't be lazy! What is eye-opening, you should go on stage and act, let us open our eyes!"

Liu Cairen also jokingly said: "Huamei is right! That sister Cao Ye is a superb dancer, how can she do it if she doesn't end!"

Chang Xi smiled and nodded: "Sister Cao Ye, let's go get ready! And Sister Fangyi, I remember that you play the piano the best, so you might as well play another song for everyone!"

Dong Fangyi has lived a very cautious life these years, lest Chang Xi get angry and think of the past and cause trouble for herself. With her current status, it would be as easy to pinch herself to death as an ant. Concubine Hui's will."

Seeing her trembling with fear, Chang Xi twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, and stopped talking. She just took a sip of tea lightly with lowered eyebrows, and then gave some instructions before leaving.

Meier stayed by Chang Xi's side, frowning and said, "Little Zhao Zi came to report just now, saying that Mr. Zhang Jiuling was demoted from the capital after all!"

"Oh? He was really exiled?" Chang Xi leaned on his head, feeling very upset.According to her own heart, she admired Zhang Jiuling very much, but this great poet whom she admired since she was a child always opposed her for nothing, which made Chang Xi very upset. In addition, the two brothers Li Yao and Li Ju and Li Ying They walked very close, and there was a faint tendency to form an alliance, and Li Yao hated Chang Xi deeply because of her birth mother's madness. With him at Li Ying's side, Chang Xi found it hard to believe that Li Ying would give up her hatred. Embarrass yourself and Maoer.In order to ensure the safety of herself and her children, she had to rely on Li Linfu, who was quite politically savvy. You must know that although her two younger brothers were closer, they were both rich and poor, and they couldn't take care of things at all. Misbehavior, often committing scandals of betraying officials, Chang Xi can only turn a blind eye and close one eye, feeling very entangled in her heart.

Mei'er sighed and said: "The princelings seem to be very dissatisfied with this matter. Although the prince did not go to court this morning, both the prince Yao and the prince Ju strongly opposed this matter. Who knows that your majesty seems to have made up his mind. , the Highness issued an order to let Zhang Jiuling leave the capital."

"Who will succeed him as prime minister?" Chang Xi already had a plan in mind, but he needed to be sure.

Mei'er said in a deep voice, "Li Linfu!"

"I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!" Chang Xi lamented, her head hurt even more.

Mei'er said: "It's up to now that we can't let us think so much, but since Li Linfu became Prime Minister, the situation will be more favorable to us! He has always supported Mao'er, with him around, maybe the East Palace will change hands! "

"Eastern Palace changed hands?" Chang Xi sneered slightly, "Why did I ever want the East Palace to change hands? God would really be joking with me!"

Mei Er shook her head and said, "Now we are riding a tiger! I know you have always felt guilty, but I have to admit that Prince Ying is a noble and talented prince, but he is our enemy! Whether you want to admit it or not! This matter It doesn’t matter if it’s absurd, or it doesn’t matter if God is playing tricks on you, it is a fact that you and the crown prince have formed a mortal feud because of Concubine Li’s death, no matter what kind of relationship you had back then! Still safe and sound, changing hands of the Eastern Palace is our only choice!"

"But how did he change hands? Kill Li Ying? I... still can't do anything! After all, Ying'er is a very good child. If her mother, Concubine Li, didn't exist, I would consider him my own son!" Chang Xi Clutching the handkerchief in his hand tangled, "You said that Ying'er and Mao'er are very close, will Ying'er still treat Mao'er kindly after ascending the throne based on these affections?"

Mei'er frowned and said, "Even if Li Ying is willing to treat Mao'er kindly because of the affection these years, what will you do? Don't forget how Concubine Li died!"

"Me?" Chang Xi said indifferently: "On the day Your Majesty passes away, I will have nothing to love!"

Mei'er shouted: "Don't talk nonsense!" She was surprised to find that Chang Xi still had this thought, and if Li Longji left before her, she would commit suicide.

Chang Xi shook her head with a wry smile after hearing this, and didn't make any excuses. If Li Longji really walked ahead of her one day, she would definitely follow her. As a mother, she had to think clearly about her safety, and she sighed immediately: "Let's take a step and see! Anyway, His Majesty is in good health now, and there is no need to think about these things for the time being!"

Mei'er wanted to say something more, but Chang Xi waved her hand with a depressed expression, making her swallow what she was going to say.At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door, followed by the excited voice of Xiao Zhao: "His Royal Highness King Shou is here! Lord Xiao Qiong is here!"

"These two brothers are here!" Chang Xi smiled instantly, and looked towards the entrance of the hall, only to see two men walking in with big strides.

Li Mao and Xiao Qiong knelt on the left and right of Chang Xi's wooden table, and greeted them in unison.

Seeing that Xiao Qiong's face was swollen like a pig's head after being beaten, and the corners of Li Mao's mouth were also blue, Chang Xi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you? Who are you fighting with?!"

His words were full of concern but also slightly reprimanded.

Li Hao quickly waved his hands and said: "No! No! I was practicing boxing at Prince Ning's Mansion this morning, and I accidentally got hurt!"

"Injured from boxing?" Chang Xi couldn't believe it, and looked at Xiao Qiong subconsciously. You must know that this child is as honest as Xiao Yu back then. Although he loves to play, he rarely tells lies, unlike his own son who is glib. He actually lied to himself, and sometimes Chang Xi thought about it carefully, that his son was not half like Li Longji, but he looked like an idler...Li Ye!
Xiao Qiong scratched her head in embarrassment, and then repeated: "I got hurt from practicing boxing!"

Li Hao said proudly: "After practicing a set of boxing techniques for two mornings, I felt that I was not satisfied, so I started to exchange ideas with each other. The punches and feet were blind, so I beat him like this. I wish to bet and admit defeat, who said that brother Qiong's skills are not as good as others! "As he spoke, he snickered a few times.

Xiao Qiong fell back angrily, this kid didn't even forget to take advantage of himself!But it can't be shown on the face, otherwise the lie will be exposed, so he can only smile dryly: "That's true! Brother Mao's kung fu has improved again!" Although he smiled, his facial muscles were extremely stiff.

Chang Xi smiled and said: "Since it's my brother's sparring, why do you do it so hard! Next time if you do this again, the mother and concubine will beat you up for Qiong'er!"

Xiao Qiong was elated when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty still loves me!"

Li Mao stuck out his tongue, as if he didn't think so.
