The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 21 Pale yellow but old-fashioned makeup
Queen Wang dismissed the irrelevant maids around her, looked at Chang Xi who was kneeling on the ground, and said seriously: "What do you want to say, you can speak up now!"

Chang Xi leaned down and said respectfully: "This servant wants to serve the Empress!"

Queen Wang said indifferently: "Why?"

Chang Xi raised his head, looked at Queen Wang, and said without hesitation: "Concubine Li is cruel and ruthless, and killed Liu Lezheng. The slaves and maidservants have a sworn hatred against her, and the empress and her are in the same situation because of the establishment of the crown prince, so Chang Xi wishes Sincerely assist the empress, get rid of the thorn in the side of the concubine Li for the empress!"

At this time, Queen Wang had already learned about Liu Lezheng's suicide by hanging from the beam. Seeing Chang Xi's straightforwardness, she believed it three points. She raised her eyes to look at Concubine Hua, but seeing Concubine Hua nodded slowly, she said to herself: "I don't know the background of the general family." Although Concubine Hua is an arm in the palace, it is not enough to contend with Concubine Zhao Li and Liu Jieyu, which is why that lowly servant girl has been rampant until now.It would be beneficial for me to subdue this dancer who hated Concubine Li deeply, besides, she is so young and beautiful, she is good at singing and dancing, maybe it can reduce His Majesty's desire to dote on Concubine Li.

Immediately said: "You mean to ask me to recommend you to His Majesty? But you said just now that you don't think anything wrong with Your Majesty."

Chang Xi shook her head and said: "The servants are humble, and they dare not stand up to His Majesty. They just want to stay by the Queen's side and advise the Empress."

Empress Wang was suspicious of her intentions, but she felt relieved after hearing her words like this, and said: "What skills do you have to help me overwhelm Concubine Li who is in the limelight? Or is it just empty teeth to deceive me?" trust?!"

Chang Xi hurriedly said: "The servant girl was born in the Jiaofang Division, and Liu Lezheng is as close as a mother and daughter, and Meng Lezheng pours her money into teaching dance skills, which is unmatched by the other daughters of the Jiaofang Division!"

Concubine Liu Hua said: "Liu Lezheng's dance made His Majesty fast for three days that day, it can be said to be the best in the Sixth Palace, slightly better than Concubine Zhao Li who was born in Kabuki. Since you are her direct disciple, you must not be far behind. Go, since this is the case, the empress will take her in."

Seeing that Concubine Hua also agreed, Queen Wang said, "In this way, I will keep you by my side as a female official in charge of the documents of the Kunde Palace. The official rank is from the fifth rank. What do you think?"

Chang Xi kowtowed her head to thank the Queen for her kindness, and said: "Your Majesty is so kind, Chang Xi must make a straw ring to repay her.

Since then, he has been working in the Kunde Palace, and that night he went back to Yichun Garden to pack up the things, arrange Liu Lezheng's funeral, and bid farewell to Mei'er.

Meier and her four-year sisters, who studied art under the same teacher and shared the same bed, were quite reluctant to part with her at first, weeping secretly, holding her hand and talking to each other all night, refusing to go to sleep, expressing earnestly Asked a lot of words.

Chang Xi saw that she was so sincere to him, and thought to himself: Meier is also a person who wants to be strong. Although she is relatively indifferent to these things on the surface, she often works hard to practice her dancing skills behind her back. The light is shining, and one day, if I can be favored in front of the queen, I will definitely recommend her as the teaching workshop Si Lezheng to help her realize her dream.

In the early morning of the second day, Chang Xi was going back to the Kunde Hall to be on errand. Before going out, Meier insisted on dressing her, so she let her do it once. When she went out, she saw Xiao Yuli waiting at the door. Meier pushed her out with a smile. He hurriedly closed the door, refusing to listen to the murmur of love between the two of them.

Xiao Yu was dressed in silver and white armor, with a three-foot long sword hanging from his waist. His heroic appearance made him even more masculine, but his expression was rather bleak, and he said, "Are you going to serve the empress?"

Chang Xi smiled slightly, and said calmly: "You are very well informed, and you found out early in the morning?"

Xiao Yu snatched the bundle from her hand, and the two went out side by side. Xiao Yu said as he walked, "Have you forgotten my best friend, Xiao Zhao Zi? He is in charge of all the servants in the harem for his master. I was there last night. He was on duty in the palace, so he got to know the news through the servants of the Kunde Palace, and he also sent me a message, saying that he asked the father-in-law in charge of the Kunde Palace to treat you well, and you can just let Xiao Luzi know if you have anything to do."

Chang Xi was moved when he saw that he was so troubled and planned for himself. Seeing his dejected attitude, he comforted him: "Don't worry! I will stay in Kunde Palace with peace of mind, although we will not have many chances to meet each other in the future. But I will remember you in my heart."

Xiao Yu showed a sad expression. At that time, he asked Li Longji for that wish in Huaelou, and he planned to marry Chang Xi. Seeing that the good news was approaching, he wanted to confess his love to Chang Xi. After she agreed, he would report to the chief servant Gao Lishi. Seeing Xiao Zhaozi's face, Lishi must readily agree, but Liu Lezheng died tragically, and Chang Xi insisted on staying in the palace to take revenge, so he couldn't be too selfish and force her out of the palace.But the Kunde Hall where she stayed was the strictest place in the palace, and she couldn't go beyond the rules to look at her. It seemed that the two of them were destined to get together less and leave more.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Chang Xi persuaded him: "When I help the queen defeat Concubine Li and avenge myself, I can go out of the palace to marry you and give birth to some big fat boys for you! Hehe!"

"Eh..." Xiao Yu's face turned red. Chang Xi has always spoken bluntly. He has gradually got used to it, but he is very satisfied in his heart. The Commander transferred me to be the guard of Concubine Li’s Ganlu Hall.” Even though he said this, he had already made a plan in his heart that the Commander of Zuo Jin Wuwei would always take bribes, and he himself would never buy into his account and would not give gifts. He has been working hard for several years but has not been promoted. This time he will go back and discuss with his mother to buy and sell some furniture in exchange for a high-quality jade carving to send to him. Maybe it will work.

Chang Xi heard that he was going to the Ganlu Hall, and immediately realized that he was going to be an internal response to inquire about the news for himself, and said: "You and I have walked very close these few days. If you go, Concubine Li will not doubt you. Do you wear little shoes?"

Xiao Yu shook his head and smiled wryly: "No! For one thing, although the two of us are close, we only know people who are close to us. The most important thing is that my father, Concubine Li, follows her lead. She determined that I will not disobey my father. Take refuge in an irrelevant king and queen."

Chang Xi said sadly: "It's hard for you! I'm going to have an unpleasant fight with your father."

Xiao Yu said: "You don't have to blame yourself. I'm not purely for you. Liu Lezheng treats people kindly. Although there are constant battles in the harem, she has always seldom got close to people and is indifferent to fame and wealth. Concubine Li treats her so harshly, and anyone will feel wronged for her."

As the two walked, they were almost within the range of Queen Kunde Hall. Chang Xi held Xiao Yu's hand and said softly: "Revenge is very important to me, but your life is even more important. You must protect yourself. , don’t act rashly.”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "You too! I'm waiting for you!" Then he pulled Chang Xi into the cave, and kissed her lightly on the forehead.The two reluctantly waved goodbye, and Chang Xi took out Xiao Yu's handkerchief she used to wipe her mouth with, waved it, and put it in her arms again.Seeing this, Xiao Yu laughed out loud, but when he turned to leave, his eyes couldn't stop getting moist.
