Dressed as a tyrant and kissing the little queen

Chapter 478 Come to accompany you

Xiao Li ran into Concubine Ru Changmin not long after leaving Yueli Palace.

Chang Min is the daughter of Pei Zhenzhen, the younger sister of Prime Minister Pei Song, and Chang Yun, Minister of Rites.

In Daishan hunting ground, Xiao Li met Chang Min once.

At that time Ling Jian came back from hunting and brought back a beautiful bird.

Chang Min likes this little bird very much.

Ling Jian originally planned to give the bird to Chang Min.

The color of the bird was so bright that Xiao Li couldn't help but take a second look.

Ling Jian took a full look into Xiao Li's eyes, then suddenly changed his mind, and asked Ling Ruo to give the bird to Xiao Li.

Chang Min was so angry that the color of his face changed, and he gave Xiao Li a hard look.

Xiao Li thought about it, and finally gave the bird to Chang Min.

Chang Min took it and grabbed the bird by the neck without even saying thank you.

"I don't want things that other people don't want."

Xiao Li was shocked, and hurried to hold Chang Min's hand, trying to save the little bird.

The two started arguing, when Ling Ruo and Wei Zun passed by, thinking that Chang Min was bullying Xiao Li.

Wei Zun stepped forward and grabbed Chang Min, throwing her far away. Chang Min was thrown into disgrace, but dared not speak out.

Later, when Chang Min saw Xiao Li, his gaze was like a knife, and he wished he could goug out a hole in Xiao Li.

It's just that she didn't dare to resist Xiao Lihe at that time.

Now that she has been selected into the palace, her status is higher than Xiao Li, so Xiao Li naturally had to salute.

Chang Min glanced at her coldly, like a haughty peacock, walked past her haughtily.

When walking over, Chang Min's personal maid, Qiu Fang, inadvertently flicked her sleeves, and knocked the gift box in the hands of the maid beside Xiao Li to the ground.

The gift box contained a gift prepared by Xiao Li for Queen Fang Qingyi, a pair of double jade bracelets carved from high-quality ancient jade.

The box was knocked over, and the jade bracelet was naturally unavoidable, and one of them was broken.

Xiao Li's maid, Chao Yun, was in a hurry, and subconsciously grabbed Qiu Fang, not letting her go.

Today I am going to visit the Empress at Xinqing Palace, Xiao Li does not want to be troublesome, "Chaoyun, let go."

Chao Yun said angrily: "But she broke the gift that the master prepared for the empress."

Chang Min stopped in his tracks and sneered, "Did she break it? Obviously you accidentally dropped it, and you want to rely on my maid."

Chao Yun was about to cry: "Master, I didn't, she really knocked it off on purpose."

Xiao Li said calmly: "If something breaks, it will break. Let Rufei's maid go."

She has always been soft-tempered, and she doesn't want to get into trouble with others easily. In today's matter, Chang Min deliberately provoked and found fault.

Xiao Li didn't want to intensify the conflict.

Qiufang was triumphant, "Did you hear that? Your master let me go."

Chaoyun was furious and pushed her away.

Chaoyun didn't use much force, but the road was slippery after the rain, and Qiu Fanghe was to blame. She slipped and fell to the ground, her forehead hit the rock on the side, bleeding.

Chang Min's face changed, and with a cold face, he ordered the maid to drag Chaoyun to his knees, and was about to slap her mouth.

Xiao Li naturally couldn't agree.

Chaoyun was the maid Qin Luoyu chose for her back then, and she has been by her side since she entered the palace at the age of eight, loving her like a sister.

Chang Min squinted at her, "It's fine if I don't hit her, why don't you kneel down and beg me?"

Xiao Li bit her lip and said nothing.

Chang Min sneered: "You are just a little nobleman, so it is only right for me to kneel down. To ask you to kneel down and beg is to flatter you."

When she was at the Daishan hunting ground before, she was afraid of Qin Luoyu and Ling Lingruo, so she didn't dare to do anything to Xiao Li.

But now Xiao Li is just a little nobleman, she doesn't take it seriously at all.

She waved her hand, and the maid began to slap her mouth towards the cloud, mercilessly, as if hitting Xiao Li's heart.

"Have you figured it out? To kneel or not to kneel?"

Chang Min raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were full of provocation, "Kneel down, and I will spare your maid. Of course, you can also tell the emperor, and see what the emperor will say?"

Chang Min was really not afraid of Xiao Li going to tell Ling Jian.

When Xiao Li married Ling Jian back then, she was just a side concubine of the crown prince.

Later, he stayed in the palace for two years, and he is now a nobleman.

If Ling Jian really wants to spoil her, can he still make her a little noble?
She looked at Xiao Li with disdain: "I have been with the emperor for more than two years, and I am only a noble person now. If I were you, I would have no face to face people."

Xiao Li ignored Chang Min.

She glanced at Chao Yun who was not far away, Zhao Yun's cheeks were slightly swollen, and the corners of his mouth were already bloodshot.

Xiao Li pursed her lips, "You said it. I knelt down and let her go."

Xiao Li knelt down.

Chang Min couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, you really kneeled. Well, it's not that I insist you kneel, it's what you want haha."

Xiao Li's mind was buzzing, but she still endured it.

She pretended it never happened and told no one.

Ling Jian was already busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty, and she didn't want to make trouble for him.

Afterwards, when Chang Min saw her again, he would intentionally make things difficult for her from time to time, but it was only a few embarrassing words.

A war of words is the most meaningless.Xiao Li didn't bother to talk to her.

Except for going to Xinqing Palace to greet her every day, Xiao Li would stay behind closed doors on weekdays, unwilling to get involved in the right and wrong between concubines.

At the beginning, her original intention was to stay in the palace, and it was enough to see Ling Jian.

But gradually, seeing Ling Jian became a luxury.

He hadn't been to Yueli Palace for several months.

In the past two years, there was no other concubine in the palace except her, and Ling Jian spent a lot of time with her.

But now it's quite different. The Sangong and Sixth Courtyards are all women carefully selected by the Ministry of Rites, with excellent appearance.

Some were selected from all over the country, and some were women from noble families in Kyoto with prominent backgrounds.

Who can enter the harem, behind this is more of a balance and game between the forces of all parties.

Xiao Li didn't understand before, but she has been with Ling Jian day and night for more than two years, and she knows that it is difficult to be an emperor.

It is difficult to open the world, but it is also not easy to defend the world, and it is even more labor-intensive.

Xiao Li understood Ling Jian's difficulties, so he didn't blame him.

But if he hasn't come to Yueli Palace for so long, she will still be a little bit disappointed.

*
The night was dark, and the drizzle of early autumn was falling. In the room, there was only one person sitting alone at the desk with a lamp and a book.

The lantern crackled twice before Xiao Li was startled and came back to his senses.

Looking down at the book in his hand, he hadn't turned a page in half a day.

It's almost time.

When Zhao Yun helped her change clothes and rest, he whispered: "The emperor has been resting in Xinqing Palace these days, and is with the empress."

Xiao Li let out a "hmm", but her expression didn't change.

The Queen's Empress Fang Qingyi is the daughter of General Fang Qian and Aunt Wei Wushu, and she met Xiao Li several times when she was young.

Fang Qingyi was influenced by Wei Wushu since he was a child. He was good at riding horses, archery, hunting, and playing games since he was a child. He and Ling Ruote were able to play together.

Xiao Li was too quiet, and often just watched them play together from a distance.

But the childhood friendship was there, even after entering the palace, Fang Qingyi insisted on calling her sister Xiao Li.

Naturally, Xiao Li would not be jealous of Fang Qingyi's favor.

It's just that habit is a terrible thing.

In the past two years, she got used to Ling Jian's company, once he stopped coming, even sleeping peacefully became a luxury.

Xiao Li was lying on the bed, the familiar sleeping incense seemed to be there, it smelled peaceful.

But Xiao Li just couldn't sleep.

The sound of the rain outside the window was gradually getting louder, and it made a crackling sound when it knocked on the window.

Dazzling lightning flashed across, thunder came faintly, and it exploded outside the hall unexpectedly, making Xiao Li's heart beat a few times in shock.

She didn't call Chaoyun, she simply got up and lit a candle, leaned against the bedside, and took the book she hadn't finished before, and continued to read it.

*
In Xinqing Palace, Ling Jian had already laid down with Queen Fang Qingyi.

When the thunder exploded, Fang Qingyi, who had already fallen asleep, was awakened.

Ling Jian got up and got out of bed, and took the robe beside him.

Fang Qingyi rubbed his eyes, "Your Majesty, where are you going so late?"

"I still have something to do, you go to bed first."

Ling Jian said in a deep voice, "I won't be coming tonight."

Fang Qingyi was still quite sleepy, she let out a "hmm", and went back to sleep.

It was raining heavily outside, and there was already water on the ground.

The eunuch Pang Shun, the chief servant, said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the servant has ordered the sedan chair and will be here soon."

Ling Jian took an oil-paper umbrella: "No need."

Pang Shun saw that Ling Jian had already walked into the rain, he was a little anxious, and hurried to catch up: "Your Majesty, there is still a long way to go from Xinqing Palace to Qianyuan Hall. The rain is too heavy, and the Emperor should wait for the sedan chair to arrive before leaving. "

The rain was too heavy, Ling Jian only took a few steps, and the corner of his robe was already wet by the rain.

However, he still didn't stop, "Who said I want to go back to Qianyuan Hall?"

Pang Shun was stunned, won't the emperor go back to Qianyuan Hall?

Where is that going?

He didn't dare to ask, so he could only jog along with his robe.

There was thunder and lightning, and it was almost a torrential downpour.

An oil-paper umbrella can't cover anything at all, nothing is nothing.

When Ling Jian arrived at De Yueli Palace, most of his robes were already soaked through.

When Chao Yun came to open the door, he was taken aback: "Your Majesty? Master has been waiting for the Emperor for a long time, but now he has fallen asleep. This servant is going to call Master."

He quickly turned around and was about to go in, but Ling Jian stopped him with a look, "Don't call her, just let her sleep."

After changing his clothes, Ling Jian entered the inner room, but saw that the candle was still on, and Xiao Li was leaning on the bedside to read a book.

Seeing Ling Jian coming in, Xiao Li hurriedly got out of bed to greet her, overjoyed: "Cousin, it's raining so hard, why are you here?"

His eyes fell on Xiao Li, Ling Jian's brows and eyes softened a bit, "Come to accompany you."

Xiao Li was startled, "But isn't my cousin resting at the empress's place tonight?"

Ling Jian pinched her cheeks with cold fingers, "Aren't some people afraid of thunder? But when there is thunder, they dare not sleep."

When the embarrassing incident was revealed, Xiao Li blushed, "Cousin!"

Ling Jian slightly hooked his lips, and pulled her into his arms, "Did I say something wrong?"

Xiao Li had this problem since she was a child. She dared not sleep at night when there was thunder, so she had to light a lamp.

If Ling had told him as a joke back then, he didn't care at that time.

Later Xiao Li married him, and once there was a thunderstorm, Xiao Li couldn't sleep, afraid of waking him up, she ran to the outer hall lightly, lit a candle, and read half the night on the bed.

He woke up and found that no one was around, and asked her why she stayed up so late, but she still hesitated to say.

Ling Jian took her back to the room and extinguished the candle.

As a result, just as the candle was extinguished, a thunderbolt rang out, Xiao Li cried out in surprise and threw herself into his arms.

It was only then that Ling Jian remembered that Xiao Li had always been timid.

However, he didn't intend to accommodate her eccentricity of lighting lamps whenever thunder struck.

That night he pressed her head into his arms, and ordered her almost domineeringly: "Close your eyes, I will hug you to sleep, don't be afraid."

He just hugged her all night.

And she didn't know whether she didn't dare to disobey his orders, or she would feel more at ease when he hugged her, and she really fell asleep obediently afterwards.

In the past two years, there were actually not many days when the thunder was rolling at night.

But every night like this, Xiao Li must sleep curled up in his arms.

When the two were lying on the bed, Ling Jian took Xiao Li into his arms and hugged her quietly.

After a while, he said in a low voice: "The harem is different now, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you every day in the future."

Xiao Li said softly: "It's okay, cousin, I know, I understand. I won't blame my cousin at all."

On such a rainy night, he still remembered that she was afraid of thunder and came to accompany her in the rain. She was already very moved and warm.

She knew his status as an emperor, and she also knew her own status, so she never asked for more.

Ling Jian didn't speak.

In the end, he gently lifted her chin, lowered his eyes and kissed her tenderly.

Xiao Li's long eyelashes trembled, and she raised her face slightly, responding to him.

The thunder outside the window gradually subsided, and the rain stopped for a while.

When Xiao Li fell asleep in his arms, Ling Jian stared at the girl in his arms for a long time by the faint light from the window.

In fact, he would rather Xiao Li cry and lose his temper than to see her so well-behaved and sensible, not fighting for anything, not wanting anything.

She was the first woman to make him fall in love, so he wanted her.

His temperament has always been like this, and he will never wrong his mind.

Whatever he likes, he will definitely get it, no matter what means.

At the beginning he forced her, and later he married her, but he never thought about giving her any honor.

She is indeed his cousin, but her identity is too sensitive.

So out of consideration for the Ling Kingdom, and out of instinct, he rejected the Queen Mother's suggestion that she should be the Crown Princess.

Xiao Li can never be a queen.

He never even intended for Xiao Li to conceive his child.

Because Xiao Li cannot have children.She better not have.

Although it sounds a little cold, but when he married Xiao Li, he really thought so.

He thought that he was just interested in Xiao Li because of his pleasure.

It won't be long before the feeling for Xiao Li may also fade away, or even get tired of it.

However, he and Xiao Li have been facing each other day and night for more than two years, and instead of getting bored, he became more and more obsessed with the days with her.

This time, he purposely did not come to Xiao Li for several months.

There are so many concubines chosen to enter the palace, there are not a few who are more beautiful than Xiao Li, and more graceful than Xiao Li.

But when he looked at them, he was not at all interested.

Xiao Li was the only one thinking about it.

Ling Jian remembered that more than two years ago, when he refused to designate Xiao Li as the crown princess, the queen mother asked him: "You let Xiao Li marry you like this?"

At that time he said: "If I want her to be wronged, she will be useless even if she becomes a queen in the future. If I don't want to wrong her, even if she is just the lowest concubine, she will not be wronged at all."

However, he is still too young and too confident in many things.

After choosing the concubine, she must be wronged.

It's just that she never said it.
