The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 17
At this time, the palace gate has already been unlocked, Xiao Yu is not the night attendant today, he has already returned home, Chang Xi has no one to ask, so he has to go to Xiao Yu's friend Zhao Changshi, Zhao Changshi waved his hand in fright after asking her why she came , even say no, no!However, Changxi insisted on this, so she knelt down and begged, so that Zhao Changshi could barely tell the truth.

After leaving the Ministry of Internal Affairs, night has already fallen, and the gray sky is drizzled, hitting the face and dripping into the neck, full of coolness.Chang Xi took a paper umbrella from Yichun Garden, and brought the withered peony with her - it was a gift from Li Longji in the song and dance competition, and it was already withered, but Chang Xi had a crush on Li Longji at that time. The little daughter's feelings are not willing to throw away, so she made dried flowers for preservation.

Zhao Changshi said that tonight Li Longji will definitely pass by the royal road at the intersection of Kunde Hall and Ganlu Hall, but he doesn't know when, maybe His Majesty will go to the Qinzheng Building to deal with political affairs before he can go back to sleep.In order not to miss it, Chang Xi knelt down on the royal road early and waited quietly. Her paper umbrella was useless due to the slanting wind and drizzle, and her clothes and hair were already wet. She was afraid of damaging the dried flower, so she gently wiped it. wrapped around his chest.

Kneeling for about two hours, Chang Xi was a little scared. Could it be that what Zhao Changshi said was inaccurate, or was he deliberately telling her the wrong way because he was afraid that he would stop Yujia?It's a pity that I am small and humble, and there is no other way.After another tea time, all the palace lanterns on both sides of the road were extinguished, and there was darkness everywhere.

Suddenly a dazzling lightning pierced the sky and shot towards the Xingqing Palace with a cold light, followed by a few thunderclaps, breaking the tranquility of the imperial palace.Chang Xi shivered with fright, and the paper umbrella in her hand was blown away by the wind.

Lightning strikes one after another, like red snakes covered in electricity, flying across the sky, illuminating the sky filled with surging clouds.Subtle footsteps and quiet passages pierced through the thunder and lightning.

Hearing the sound of the quiet passage, Chang Xi opened her arms to block the passage like a fire in the cold winter, and shouted: "Your Majesty!——Your Majesty! Chang Xi, a dancer from the Jiaofang Department, has something to see!" Although the thunder was loud, it did not Can muffle her cries.

Qian Niuwei beside the imperial chariot was alert, drew his knife and stepped forward and asked: "Who is driving in a spring night? What do you intend to do!"

"Chang Xi, the dancer from Jiaofang, I have something to ask to see Your Majesty." Chang Xi helped her down on the royal road and nodded her head to the ground.

"Jiaofangsi! Nonsense! Jiaofangsi has an audience with His Majesty so late? I think it's an assassin!" As he spoke, Bai Sensen's steel knife was placed on Chang Xi's tender neck, and Chang Xi squinted, ruthlessly He stared fiercely at the Qianniu guard, and when the lightning flashed by, the guard's hair stood on end.

"Looking for death!" Qian Niuwei shouted violently, and was about to execute him on the spot with a knife, but he heard a thin voice from a distance: "Who is making noise here!"

"Reporting to Eunuch Gao, she is a dancer from the Jiaofang Division. What is her name, Chang Xi!" Qian Niuwei returned the steel knife, clasped his fists and reported.

"Drag away! Don't let her get in the way." Gao Lishi frowned.

After hearing Gao Lishi's words, the two Qianniu guards couldn't help but set up Chang Xi and wanted to drag her away. Chang Xi shouted: "Eunuch Gao, I am a good friend of Zhao Changshi, please give me a voice." Opportunity! Eunuch Gao!"

"Wait!" Seeing that this young woman knew his beloved disciple, Gao Lishi had no choice but to get down from the imperial chariot with umbrellas supported by a few servants, and asked in front of Chang Xi, "Who are you! do what!"

Chang Xi knelt down and grabbed the corner of Gao Lishi's clothes and begged: "Eunuch, this servant is Chang Xi, a dancer from the Jiaofang Division, and a friend of Zhao Changshi. Please inform me that this servant has something important to call on His Majesty."

"Nonsense!" Gao Lishi waved his whisk, and said angrily, "Your Majesty, did you see him as soon as you said he would? Seeing that you and Xiao Zhao Zi know each other, I don't want to pursue it anymore, please step back!"

"Eunuch!" Chang Xi quickly kowtowed a few times, and when he got up again, his forehead was already bleeding, "Human life is at stake, please be merciful, Eunuch, and report it on your behalf!"

Seeing her stubbornness, Eunuch Gao knelt down and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Chang Xi said with trembling lips: "Liu Le of the Jiaofang Division is being scolded by Concubine Li and is already dying. This servant begs my father-in-law to report on my behalf, and I will allow my servant to express his feelings face to face."

Gao Lishi had heard about Liu Lezheng being blamed by Concubine Li for a long time, but he didn't tell Li Longji about it because it had nothing to do with him. As for the relationship between Li Longji and Liu Lezheng, he also knew about it. Shen Yin then said: "Kneel here and wait for me to report. As for whether His Majesty will see you or not, I don't know."

"Thank you, Eunuch! Thank you, Eunuch!" Chang Xi kowtowed a few times, "By the way, Eunuch, please bring this peony to Your Majesty." As he spoke, he slightly took out the peony from his bosom, and handed it over carefully In the hands of Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi turned around and returned to the imperial chariot to report, Li Longji was already impatient with waiting, and asked slightly: "Why stop?"

"Chang Xi, the dancing girl from the Jiaofang Division, stopped Yu Jia and said that she has something to see you." Gao Lishi presented the peony with both hands.

Li Longji picked up the peony and played with it for a while, then asked doubtfully, "Chang Xi? Which one is it?"

Gao Lishi reminded: "You forgot, she was the dancer who won the song and dance competition that day! You also gave her the most blooming peony in the Furong Garden."

"En! I'm not in the mood tonight, see you!" Li Longji frowned slightly, and threw the peony out of the imperial chariot, and the delicate flowers were washed to the base of the wall by the rain.

Gao Lishi didn't have anything to say when he saw them, but seeing how pitiful they were, he ventured to add another sentence: "Liu Le of the Jiaofang Division is being punished by the concubine Li! It must be because of this that Chang Xi came to meet His Majesty! "

"Zhen'er was blamed by Concubine Li? It's Concubine Li again, and I don't think I've caused enough trouble!" Li Longji was furious. Today in the hall, in order to make Prince Ying the crown prince, the ministers After a whole day of quarreling, the attendant Xiao Qing and Zhang Jiuling from Zhongshushe almost made a move. Li Longji was so overwhelmed by the day's affairs that he wanted to take a break at night, and there were so many troubles.

"Is it serious?" Li Longji asked.

Gao Lishi said: "I beat the concubines forty times with the wooden stick used in the palace, I guess it should be nothing!"

"Order the imperial doctor to give her a good treatment. I have something important tonight, so I will visit her some other day." Li Longji waved his hands, signaling Gao Lishi to go down.

"No!" Gao Lishi turned to get off the chariot, remembered something and asked again: "Where is Your Majesty's imperial chariot going now? The empress or the concubine Li?"

"Not going to any of them! I hear noises in my ears every day! There is a military report saying that the Turks have invaded the border of our Tang Dynasty. You tell the servants to tell Zhang that they will wait for me in the Qinzheng Building!" Li Longji said.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. If there are any major military affairs, why don't you take care of them tomorrow!" Gao Lishi comforted Li Longji in a low voice, fearing that Li Longji would be tired all day and damage the dragon's body.

"No problem! Pass it on!" Li Longji waved his hand and said nothing.

Seeing that His Majesty insisted on this, Gao Lishi made a promise, lowered his head and got off the imperial chariot.Chang Xi, who was on the side, had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and when he saw Gao Lishi getting off his chariot, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Eunuch, what does your Majesty say?"

Gao Lishi said: "Your Majesty said that there is an urgent military situation to deal with tonight, and I have no time to see you!"

Chang Xi grabbed Gao Lishi's clothes and said anxiously: "Liu Le is waiting for His Majesty! I beg you to make peace again!"

Gao Lishi said helplessly: "Your Majesty said no, what can I do, you go quickly! If you don't go away, my father-in-law will be impolite."

"Eunuch! Eunuch!" Chang Xi grabbed Gao Lishi's clothes tightly, begging him to make peace again, and Gao Lishi was furious, "Why are you so stubborn, kid! Let go!" Seeing that Chang Xi was dragging him to death, His Majesty was about to get angry if the imperial chariot stopped like this. In a hurry, he said, "You are all dead! Pull her away!"
