The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 181

Xiao Zhaozi led the way, and said cheerfully: "What Zhaoyi has done this time is really gratifying!"

Meier smiled and said: "No, seeing that the arrogant Shangguan Jieyu was overwhelmed by you, I didn't know you were so powerful! But, will she make things difficult after we leave?" Where's Wei'er?" As he spoke, he looked back worriedly.

"Don't worry, after this incident, she will restrain herself a lot!" Chang Xi said with a straight face, but remembering Shangguan Jieyu's frightened appearance just now, she couldn't help laughing, revealing her true colors.

This kind of Chang Xi is the one Meier is most familiar with, not to mention that Shangguan Jieyu was afraid just now, even Meier felt uneasy, now seeing this familiar smiling face, Meier is happy again.

Chang Xi instructed: "Little Zhao, you secretly send some plaster to Shangguan Cairen at night when no one is around."

"Why do you have to give it away secretly!" Little Zhao Zi was a little puzzled.

Chang Xi said: "It's better not to get too close to Wei'er on the surface, so as not to embarrass her."

"No!" Little Zhao Zi admired Chang Xi's thoughtfulness.

The hall of Chang'an was brightly lit, and to the left of Li Longji behind the wooden case was a pile of unfinished memorials. Under the candlelight, he looked extremely tired, which did not match his heroic appearance during the day. Looking at the man in front of him carefully by the candlelight, he is indeed much older than when he was the king of Linzi in Luzhou, but it has only been four years since he ascended the throne, and he is only 31 years old. Why is it so profound!

After competing for favor in the palace for a long time, Concubine Li has lost a lot of love for him. The good times in Luzhou that were dusty in her memory were broken by such a quiet night. She lifted up her long skirt, walked slowly to the sapphire case, and knelt Hengtou said softly: "Sanlang, let's see tomorrow, be careful!"

"Yeah!" Li Longji looked up at the woman in front of him, and said with a smile, "Go to sleep first!"

Concubine Li held Li Longji's hand stubbornly, and pressed the other jade hand on the memorial, "My concubine, don't allow your Majesty to read it again!" Her tone was coquettish.

Li Longji smiled slightly, rubbed his sore eyes, and said: "Okay, if Lier says she doesn't want to watch it, I won't watch it!"

Concubine Li smiled and undressed Li Longji, and the two lay on the bed. Li Longji stopped Li Concubine's slender waist with one hand, and leaned her head on his chest, "I want to be a crown prince!"

Although the tone was light and slow, the content surprised Li Fei.

"Your Majesty is in his prime, why did you suddenly bring up the matter of establishing a crown prince?" Concubine Li asked with a forced smile.

Li Longji said: "When my grandmother was alive, a lot of land in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty was lost. When I first came to the throne, the Turks boldly violated the border. Today, the Turks have changed again. Many ministers suggested that I establish a prince early to stabilize state affairs."

Concubine Li wrapped her arms around Li Longji's neck, and said softly: "In that case, Your Majesty will just listen to the orders of those ministers!"

"En!" Li Longji closed his eyes and did not answer, Li Fei lay in his arms and couldn't calm down for a long time.

After a while, Li Longji asked, "How is Yinger doing recently?"

Concubine Li heard him mention Ying'er, and said with a smile: "Ying'er is still the same! Like a little adult, he goes to study by the Longchi every morning, and the Taifu and others praise him for his hard work!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Longji's mouth: "After the new year, Ying'er will be nine years old!"

"Yes!" Concubine Li lay quietly in his arms, feeling a little moved by the speed of time.

Li Longji said: "Let him cope with the big exam at the end of the year!"

"Li'er made a note!" Concubine Li thoughtfully looked up at Li Longji who had closed her eyes and fell asleep, and then slowly fell back into his arms.

The end-of-year exam is an exam set by Li Longji for the princes to investigate knowledge and martial arts, and it is usually set around the Double Ninth Festival.The purpose is to train the princes so that they will become the pillars of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

The concubines with children in the sixth palace all attach great importance to this exam, especially in this cusp.But because the child is too young, the examination of martial arts is not carried out, and the main thing is to examine literary talent.

At this time, in addition to Fenglu's son Li Yao and Chang Xi's son Li Yitai, the eldest son was Li Cong who was born to Concubine Hua, the second son was Li Ying who was born to Concubine Li, and the third son was adopted by the queen. Li Heng, anyone can participate in this assessment. The winner, Li Longji, will not only reward the prince, but also their mother and concubine. In the first year of Li Longji's birth, Li Ying was named the king of Ying because of this. All the concubines and concubines were extremely nervous about the big exam of the festival.

In the past few days, the queen stayed at Kunde Palace to urge Prince Heng to study, and the concubine Li was even moving around, trying to get some exam questions out of Zhang Jiuling's mouth, but the result can be imagined. Not only did Zhang Jiuling not agree, but also A piece of complaint was brought to Li Longji, and Concubine Li was reprimanded.

Since the queen and concubine Li were busy, they didn't have time to meddle in the affairs of the concubines in the harem. Shangguan Jieyu cried and went to the Ganlu Hall to complain to Concubine Li the next day, but she was stopped by Concubine Li's subordinate Liu Meiren.

"Sister said, who can win this big exam?" Beauty Xiao asked thoughtfully while twisting a white chess piece.

This go was taught by Xiao Meiren when she was escaping the summer heat in Mount Li. Ever since she became infected with this, Chang Xi seemed to be possessed, and always liked to catch people to play chess. At this time, she saw that her black stones on the chessboard were almost eaten. Then he said casually: "It must be Prince Ying."

Xiao Mei said humanely: "If it is the prince Ying, how can the empress be reconciled? I am afraid that she has been supervising Heng'er's studies these few days. I think that Heng'er is pitiful. He lost his mother since he was young and has no one to take care of him, but he has fallen into the hands of the queen. Li has become a tool for her to stabilize her position."

Chang Xi said indifferently: "Frozen three feet is not a day's cold. Prince Heng has been out of education since he was a child. How can he make up for it by lighting a lamp and cooking oil in the past few days!"

"Call to eat!" Beauty Xiao fell down, blocking all of Chang Xi's escape routes, watching her large black spots being picked up one by one by Beauty Xiao's slender hands, Chang Xi was extremely depressed.

"Zhaoyi and the beauty don't have any countermeasures? Don't let His Majesty continue to like Prince Heng, what if he is made the crown prince?" Meier brought two cups of fragrant tea on a gold plate and presented them to the two daughters.

Chang Xi saw that his soon-to-be-killed son was gone, so he surrendered helplessly, took a sip of tea, put down the cup and lamented: "Concubine Li has given birth to such a good son, what can I do!"

Mei Er anxiously said: "Then Li Ying can't be allowed to become the crown prince, then Concubine Li will be even more difficult to shake, I'm afraid even the queen will be no match for her!"

Hearing what Meier said, Chang Xi had a thought, and suddenly felt that she seemed to have thought something wrong in the past. Seeing Chang Xi was stunned, Xiao Meiren said, "My sister's Longjing is good, but unfortunately the water quality is too bad, which spoils the quality of this new tea." For the fragrance, it is better to make tea with the dew on the lotus leaves of Longchi in early autumn, it has a special flavor."

"Okay, I'll give it a try!" Chang Xi had seen Miaoyu make tea with snow water when she was watching "A Dream of Red Mansions" in modern times, so she really wanted to try it.

Xiao Meiren got up and said: "It's getting late, tomorrow we all have to attend the Prince's Exam on the Double Ninth Festival, sister go to bed early!"

"It's late at night, I'll see you off!" Chang Xi also got up and said.

Xiao Meiren waved her hand, "Sister, don't worry, who wins will be decided tomorrow, so sleep peacefully!"

Chang Xi ordered Xiao Zhao Zi to send Miss Xiao away, and she lay on the couch thinking wildly.

In the early morning of the next day, someone had already come to invite him. Chang Xi saw that the outside was heavy, and carefully instructed the nanny to wrap the little prince in a brocade quilt and not let him be exposed to the wind. Go to Liangyi Hall.

When we arrived at the palace, the concubines in the harem hadn't arrived yet, but the ministers had almost arrived and were whispering to His Highness.Seeing Chang Xi's arrival, Zhang Jiuling coughed, lifted up his purple robe, stepped forward and saluted, and said in a serious voice, "My minister sees Wu Zhaoyi!"
