The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 341

Because Prince Li Ying was assassinated and injured, the spring hunt ended in a hurry. Li Longji, Chang Xi, and the princes and ministers returned to Chang'an overnight under the escort of the Yulin Army.In order to allow Prince Li Ying to recover faster, Li Longji did not send him back to the Prince's Mansion, but opened the palace of Datong Hall for him to live in. Chang Xi took care of him personally, and the brothers took turns to attend to the illness.

After the news of the death of King Xue and Li Ye spread, King Ning, King Qi and others were heartbroken. Although Li Ye made a big mistake, the brothers have always been very close. King Ning and others came to visit Li Ye.As soon as he passed away, all the brothers were inexplicably sad, and Li Ye was the fifth child, and the end of life was approaching so quickly, everyone inevitably felt sad.

Li Longji thought of his love back then, gave Li Ye a rich funeral, and allowed the brothers Ning Wang and Chang Xi to see him off.Looking at the huge coffin on the carriage, Chang Xi couldn't stop crying.Unexpectedly, Lishan Spring Hunt and his party would become the eternal farewell between her and him. If she was in Xingqing Palace at that time, she might be able to see him for the last time.The prince Li Mao and the prince Li Heng had always been the closest to Li Ye. At this time, with Li Longji's permission, they both carried the coffin to see their five emperor uncles for the last time.

Seeing the coffin being buried, he buried the last handful of loess and sealed the door of the tomb.Chang Xi stood facing the wind, staring blankly at the huge and majestic vaulted mausoleum, feeling overwhelmed with emotion. The foster mother, Shangxian, Li Yi, Li Ye, queen, and concubine Li, the people around them, whether they were enemies or friends, relatives or Sparse, they all leave him one by one, I don't know when, I will turn into the loess dust among the stones.

Perhaps all the people present felt this way, but they all remained silent.The brigade returned to Xingqing Palace in such a depressing atmosphere.Unexpectedly, as soon as King Ning returned to the mansion, he passed out due to excessive sadness, and he couldn't get sick after that.Li Mao and Xiao Qiong grew up in King Ning's mansion since they were young, and regarded King Ning as their biological father. At this time, they all rushed back to Fu Shiji. Li Longji and Chang Xi also went to visit King Ning's condition many times, but he was still the same Well, depending on the situation, this illness is really ominous.

Li Longji has been very irritable recently. King Xue passed away, King Ning was seriously ill, and the prince was seriously injured and couldn't get out of bed. It seems that all bad things happened this year. Last night, the minister of Qin Tianjian came back and said that a comet appeared in the southeast. It fell in the Tang Dynasty, injured and killed many people and livestock. Many people burned incense and worshiped in front of the comet, praying for God's blessing and avoiding disasters for everyone.

This is a great ominous sign. Li Longji's intuitive judgment has been brought to him by years of political career. He suddenly has an ominous premonition that something more important will happen this year!

Chang Xi was also depressed after Li Ye passed away. Over the years, I often visited Li Ye, and every time he was very unhappy, in desperation, I gave him a lot of fine wine, hoping that he would have a better life, Now that I think about it, it may not be because the fine wine I sent emptied his body, which made him die young when he was only forty.In addition, although Brother Bao returned to Chang'an with Guo Ziyi and was promoted by His Majesty who didn't know the inside story, he failed to find a chance to meet him, let alone learn about Xiao Yu's recent situation from his mouth. In addition, she had to take care of the crown prince and deal with the affairs of the sixth house. After a month, she was too thin.

This day, after Chang Xi finished washing, she was sitting in front of the dressing table, fiddling with a golden step shaker, while Qiongyu was carefully combing her thinning hair with a horn comb.Looking at Qiongyu's cautiousness in the mirror, Chang Xi has to admit that she is old even if she doesn't want to!

Qiongyu wanted to comb Chang Xi's sideburns, but unexpectedly found a few white hairs. She was shocked and wanted to pull out her hair quietly to prevent Chang Xi from getting angry.Unexpectedly, Chang Xi saw her cramped movements clearly in the bronze mirror, and sighed immediately: "There is no need to pull it out, I am already nearly forty, and I am the mother of several children, why bother doing it?" It's a matter of deceiving one's ears and stealing the bell!"

"Your Majesty, why don't you use paint to dye this hair white? In any case, you have to modify it!" Qiongyu paused, and said a little embarrassedly: "Maybe His Majesty will come!"

Chang Xi knew what she meant, she was afraid that Li Longji would look at her and would feel disgusted seeing her like this, so she smiled lightly, "Even if you dye your hair, you can't smooth out the fine lines around your eyes, so don't work in vain! No matter how I dress up, I can't compare to those young and beautiful young women! The general election will be held in a few days, and I will choose a few young and beautiful family members for His Majesty to enrich the harem and save him from having to face the old people all day long. Zhuhuang's own palace!" Although there was a sense of ridicule in the words, they were filled with untold sadness.

Qingying stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what you said is absurd!"

Looking at the youthful and charming Qing Ying, for some reason, Chang Xi felt a little jealous, no matter how powerful she was, she couldn't exchange it for youth.Although the Qingying in front of her is only a maid of honor, she is so lively and beautiful, just like when she was young, if she could change her status, she would rather give her the status and gain more youthful years.

"I really envy you." Chang Xi paused, looked at Qingying who was dressed in green and said in a daze, "If Bengong was young, he must look better than you in green!"

Qiongyu was taken aback, and laughed quickly: "Your Majesty, even if you wear it now, it still looks good! My Majesty, you don't look like a 40-year-old woman, she's obviously still very young, and she's a twenty-eight-year-old woman!"

Chang Xi glanced at Qiongyu, showing a teasing smile: "No wonder Qiongyu can only serve as a female official in charge of the palace for the rest of her life. If you don't believe me, what do you say!"

Qiongyu blushed, and said with a smile: "It is a great blessing for a servant to be a maid in charge of the palace for the whole life!"

Qing Ying took a step forward and said with a smile: "The servant is very envious of the empress!"

"Oh?" Chang Xi was a little surprised, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Qingying boldly said: "Since ancient times, favorite concubines have served the monarch with their beauty, just like Daji, Baosi, Mrs. Li, Zhao Feiyan and others. It is a pity that beauty cannot last long, and love will fade when beauty fades. This is why they often cannot die well. Reasonable. The most indispensable thing in this harem is young and beautiful women. Thanks to this group and that group, the cycle is endless, and the empress entered the palace at the age of 14, and became the first favorite of the Tang Dynasty from a young talent. Concubine, she is in the same position as a queen. I'm sorry if I say something disrespectful. There are more concubines who are young, beautiful and versatile than you. Let's not talk about it. Let's say that in today's Xingqing Palace, the empress is not as beautiful as Dong Fangyi, and her talent is not as good as Mei A concubine is not as cute as a Shangguan beauty, and a virtuous one is not as good as Wu Chongyi."

What Qiongyu said was speechless, and she peeped at Chang Xi's expression, lest she would get angry, but Chang Xi just smiled and nodded slowly, letting Qingying continue talking.

Qingying continued: "But you have your own unique demeanor and the noble temperament left by Queen Zetian. Your Majesty has loved you for decades. Looking at the previous dynasty and this dynasty, which woman can specialize in a house for dozens of years?" Years keep favoring you, not to mention that among the six palaces, I am afraid that even the entire Tang Dynasty can't find a few! It can be seen that in the eyes of your majesty, whether you are young or not is not important, what your majesty loves is your whole person, your soul Isn't this kind of love enviable enough! I think, not only the concubines in the Xingqing Palace, but all the women in the Tang Dynasty envy you very much. You not only have the highest honor in the world, but also have A love that is as strong as gold! You must know that Your Majesty is the charming son of heaven and the lord of all nations. If he wants any woman, he will not get it? But he is only willing to guard you and your love!"

As she spoke, Qingying became excited, her lips trembled slightly, and tears glistened in her eyes.After Li Mao left that day, the sad Li Ying told himself that he didn't want to compete with his younger brother, and hoped that Qingying could marry Li Mao.After hearing this, Qing Ying was heartbroken. She didn't know whether Li Ying had abandoned her because of the crown prince or brotherhood. She couldn't accept this fact for a while, so she ran back to her camp crying and cried all night. Only then did she go to Chang Xi and beg her to give herself to King Xue.

She who was already ashamed of herself became anxious again after hearing that the prince was assassinated and seriously injured.She was worried about Li Ying's injuries, and she didn't dare to ask Chang Xi to take her to take care of the sick, so she could only look for Li Mao in desperation.At that time, Li Mao was very sad because of King Xue's death and the prince's injury, so he gently comforted him, and got a lot of news from the prince during the conversation with him, so he felt relieved.But this unexpected persuasion deepened Li Mao's love for her. She seemed to know that she and Li Ying would not have any results. Heartbroken, she looked at Li Longji who came to visit Chang Xi every day. I began to envy the relationship between the two very much.

After listening to Qingying's words, Chang Xi felt in a good mood for some reason. In fact, what she said was right. All appearance modifications had little meaning to her. Since more than ten years ago, she was no longer a woman of beauty. A concubine serving the king!

Now put on the palace attire and was going to visit Prince Li Ying, but just as he was about to leave the Jiaofang Hall, he saw Xiao Zhao Zi hurried in, whispering in her ear: "General Hengyue is in a hurry to see you !"

"Oh?" Chang Xi looked at the anxious little Zhao Zi with some surprise, knowing that something serious had happened, and immediately ordered everyone to wait for her in the Jiaofang Hall, while she followed Xiao Zhao Zi to the Chenxiang Pavilion alone.

In the Chenxiang Pavilion, Heng Yue stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the blooming peonies in the distance.Chang Xi hurried into the pavilion, while Xiao Zhao Zi stood outside and waited in case anyone eavesdropped.

Seeing that it was Chang Xi who came, Heng Yue hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I will see Concubine Hui at the end!"

"You don't need to be too polite!" Chang Xi said anxiously: "The general invited me to come, but there is something important?"

Heng Yue said solemnly: "But there is something important! The identity of the assassin who assassinated the prince has already been established at the end!"

"Oh?" Suspicions arose in Chang Xi's heart, and the identity of the assassin had been revealed, Heng Yue should tell His Majesty, he came to tell himself first, there is obviously a problem!Stabilizing his emotions, he frowned and asked, "What is the identity of the assassin?"

Heng Yue gasped, and said word by word: "Master Wu Zhong's mansion is a dead man!"
