The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 188 The Embarrassment of the Mission

The three kings followed Li Longji to the tower of Xuanwu Gate, and the ministers followed, and those concubines also went to watch the excitement. Seeing that the two sisters of Shangguan also went, Beauty Xiao asked, "Sister Zhaoyi, are you going?"

Chang Xi smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid of the heat, there are too many people there, so I still won't go!"

Because Xiao Meiren drank two more glasses, two red clouds appeared on her face, and she said with a smile: "I'm a little drunk, sister, let me go for a walk!"

"Alright!" Xiao Meiren took Chang Xi's hand and walked out of Huae Building.

Under the night, the stars are shining brightly. Looking at the sky, under the black blue as deep as the sea, it is so beautiful.On both sides of the Royal Road, the evening scent exhaled a strong fragrance, which overflowed in the air and made people extremely intoxicated. The two women walked side by side and chatted.

Xiao Mei said humanely: "This time the queen is really angry!"

Chang Xi stopped outside the Xinxin Pavilion, grabbed the tender green buds on the weeping willow, and said with a smile: "Isn't it! Compared to her, Concubine Li is more like a queen!"

"Since those Japanese envoys came to the Tang Dynasty, why didn't they inquire about the etiquette of respect and inferiority? It's so funny that they sent the wrong things!" Beauty Xiao was very puzzled by Chao Heng's actions.

This matter was actually caused by Chang Xi. After the gift was sent to the Shang Palace Bureau, it was distributed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Chang Xi asked Xiao Zhao Zi to change the empress and Concubine Li’s cloth while others were not paying attention, so that A Bei sent the wrong one. The gift was given, causing the war between the Queen and Concubine Li to escalate again.

Beauty Xiao said again: "Although the empress is really annoying, that concubine Li is too rampant, she dared to go up to the tower of Xuanwu Gate to meet the envoys from various countries!"

"Concubine Li has the crown prince in her hands, how can she care about the queen!" Chang Xi sneered slightly.

Just as Beauty Xiao was about to answer, she heard a woman's complaint from a distance, "It's all because of your procrastination, and you missed the time to enter the palace. I'm afraid even the banquet is over at this time!"

"I'm also doing it for your own good. You are pregnant, so it's really not suitable for you to ride a horse!" The gentle voice came from the night, and it was very pleasant.

Chang Xi knew who that person was without looking back!She trembled slightly in her heart. In the past few years, she deliberately avoided him, and he often accompanied Li Ye to the border inspections, so that he hadn't seen him for many years. Unexpectedly, when he came back from this big banquet, his voice was still interjected as always. into her heart.

"Okay, okay! You're right this time!" Princess Yuzhen coquettishly came here, holding Xiao Yu's hand.

Chang Xi said softly: "I'm not feeling well, I'll go back to Wenxin Hospital first, my sister will stay here for a while to cool off, and I won't be with you anymore!" After speaking, she took Mei Er and left in a hurry.

Beauty Xiao looked at Chang Xi's back and sighed softly, only to see that Xiao Yu had already taken Yuzhen to the stone bridge.

"Princess, son-in-law!" Beauty Xiao gave a little blessing.

"So it's Miss Xiao from my family!" Princess Yuzhen giggled and hurriedly returned the gift.Xiao Meiren replied with a smile, but Xiao Yu looked in another direction, staring at the weeping willow being helped away by another woman.

Princess Yuzhen stepped on her feet and looked over there, but there was no one there, she wondered, "My son-in-law, what are you looking at!"

"No! Let's go!" The sadness in Xiao Yu's eyes disappeared in an instant, and he smiled and took Yu Zhen's hand.

Chang Xi leaned on the couch, the window was half open, and the breeze came in, which made her slightly drunk heart a little melancholy. It seemed that everyone was loved by someone, but she was the only one who was alone and helpless in the world. In the face of endless struggle, one wrong step will lead to an abyss.

Thinking about it, she shed tears, and looked at the door with blurred vision, but when the handsome man came in, she didn't wake up from her contemplation.

"What's the matter?" He was a little angry, why did he cry again?Not satisfied with life in the palace?

Chang Xi didn't expect him to meet the envoys so quickly, hurriedly wiped away the tears on his cheeks, lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed and bow down.

Li Longji said coldly: "Did you see him again?" The old habit of being suspicious had recurred. Every time Chang Xi and Xiao Yu met, whether it was by chance, or the occasional eye contact during the palace banquet, he would be furious. This is also one of the reasons why Chang Xi deliberately avoided Xiao Yu these years.

"Don't mention him anymore! It's annoying!" Chang Xi's eyes were full of helplessness.

Li Longji was taken aback. In the past, when she mentioned this unpleasant name for the two, she either said that the two hadn't met, or clarified some things with a flustered expression. In Li Longji's eyes, those actions were like telling a big lie. It's unbelievable, only this time when that man was mentioned, her face and eyes were full of boredom.

He suddenly became happy. Does this mean that she really let go of that person? He was in a good mood and quickly walked to the side of the couch and sat down, took her into his arms, and said softly: "That's not this, what's the matter?" Let you shed tears here?"

Such gentle words warmed the heart that has been lonely and unconsoled for a long time, and put aside all the usual grievances, and wrapped his arms around his waist and said softly: "I don't think there is anything!"

"Nonsense!" He scolded slightly, but there was love in his eyes, "You have Zhen and Yier, why don't you have anything!"

"Really! Why doesn't the concubine feel that way!" Chang Xi suddenly felt very tired, and it turned out that she could be so relaxed in his arms.

Li Longji said: "It's because you think too much that you get tired. I'm here for you to rely on. If you rely on me wholeheartedly, how can you be tired!"

Such words shocked Chang Xi, yes, I have never relied on him wholeheartedly, but even if I wholeheartedly, is he really worth relying on!
Li Longji seemed to see the suspicion in her eyes, and pinched her chin lightly with two fingers, "It's heartless!"

There was surprise and dissatisfaction in Chang Xi's eyes, and he didn't know why Li Longji said that about himself.

There was slight contempt and disdain in his eyes, "How many times have I saved you?"

Chang Xi was taken aback for a moment, always thinking about what he did to her badly, remembering that he separated herself from Xiao Yu, but ignoring that he sacrificed his life time and time again to save each other.

"Didn't you say it was done by anger!" Chang Xi said firmly.

"You!" Li Longji was very dissatisfied with deliberately provoking his anger, and took advantage of the situation to push her down on the couch, "You are still so stubborn! Hehe!"

Chang Xi couldn't breathe under the pressure of his solid chest, and said with difficulty: "If the concubine relies on His Majesty wholeheartedly, will His Majesty treat me wholeheartedly!"

Li Longji was taken aback, thought for a few seconds, and then nodded solemnly.

Chang Xi closed her eyes and hid in his arms. After a spring night, he did not leave when she woke up again.

Turning over, I found the most comfortable position in his arms, this embrace was still very warm!
"Are you awake? Are you sleeping?" Li Longji's voice was hoarse.

Chang Xi closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling, "Sleep! But isn't Your Majesty going to court?"

"You don't go to court today, go to sleep!" Li Longji put his arms around her waist and fell asleep again.

"En!" Chang Xi hasn't slept so comfortably for a long time, so she wants to sleep for a while.

"Papa!" The rapid knock on the door interrupted Chang Xi's sleep, only to hear Li Longji lift up half of his body, and said in a deep voice, "Who is it!"

Gao Lishi's voice sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, the head of the country is dead!"

"When did it happen!" Li Longji was startled by such a bad news and didn't feel sleepy at all, so he got up and dressed quickly.

Chang Xi had no choice but to get up to wash and wash for him, "I'm going now!" Li Longji told Gao Lishi to go to the Queen's Palace first, and then he himself would arrive later.

Mei'er was very surprised to see Li Longji hurried out of the courtyard, and hurried into the room and asked, "What's the matter? Have you quarreled with His Majesty again?"

Chang Xi shook her head, "The queen's father is dead!"

In the seventh year of Kaiyuan, it was really the most unlucky year for the empress. At the beginning of the spring, she was robbed of the limelight at the state banquet by Concubine Li. Come on, my father died again.

In the past half a month, the entire Kunde Palace has been shrouded in a gloomy mist, and even today's morning and evening meditation has been cancelled.

Chang Xi originally drove the little prince to the Queen's Kunde Palace, but was blocked from the door. Xiao Luzi explained to the concubines that the Queen's old headache had happened again, so they couldn't be summoned, everyone said After a few words of prayer, they dispersed.

Hua Cairen and Xiao Meiren followed Chang Xi for a walk to the Dragon Pond. It was mid-spring at this time, and the lotus flowers in the pool were all budding. The pink one was very cute, and the playing dragonfly landed on it, making it even more beautiful. Fun to play.

Xiao Mei said humanely: "Our sisters haven't swim in the lake for a long time, why don't we take a small boat and go to the depths of the lotus to play!"

"That's a good idea!" Huacai clapped his hands.

Chang Xi was about to have a conversation with a few people, and thought that it would be safest if no one in the boat eavesdropped, so she asked Meier to take the little prince back to Wenxin Courtyard, and boarded the boat with the two of them.

"This time the queen is really in a state of distress!" Seeing that there was no one around, Beauty Xiao folded a lotus and put it under her nose, smelling it carefully.

Huacai said humanely: "I heard that my uncle and His Majesty had a very unpleasant quarrel a few days ago!"

"What? Didn't Your Majesty have proclaimed the Queen's father a Taiwei, and the official confessed to the funeral, why is the uncle dissatisfied?" Chang Xi frowned slightly.

Huacai said humanely: "Uncle Guo thinks that the specifications of the funeral are not enough, and the standard has been raised a bit higher, which makes His Majesty very unhappy!"

Chang Xi snorted coldly, "Since the palace is strictly hierarchical, you can't just do whatever you want, this country uncle is too rude!"

Xiao Meiren rowed the boat to the depths of the lotus root, and said: "Wang Shouyi relied on himself as the uncle of the country, and was used to doing evil, so why would he care about these things? I heard that he is very greedy and lustful, and he is completely different from his father." .”

"There is such a thing? Doesn't the queen know about it? Why don't you take care of this unworthy brother?" Although Chang Xi has been in contact with his brother Wu Zhongwuxin in the inner dynasty in recent years, he really doesn't know about it.

Xiao Mei said humanely: "The empress is the one who indulges her elder brother the most, how can she care about it? He was also involved in the matter of the Flower and Bird Envoy last time, which made the sky angry and the people complained. Your Majesty punished him and Xiao Qing in a fit of anger."

Chang Xi secretly thought, this Wang Shouyi is indeed a good target to attack the queen.

Hua Cairen has been nurtured by many people in the past few years, and he is no longer the quick-talking appearance when he first entered the palace. Although he pretends to be crazy and stupid on the surface, he is indeed much smarter in secret, and has done a lot of things for Chang Xi.At this time, he said: "This is also a good opportunity to attack the queen, why don't we take advantage of it?"
