The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 213 The Upstart

Chang Xi tried hard to say: "It's really nothing, your Majesty, let's go!"

Li Longji called Mei'er in, told her a lot, and then left in a hurry.

As soon as he left, Chang Xi's tears fell like broken beads when facing Mei'er.

Mei'er held back her tears and comforted her softly for a long time, Chang Xi didn't cry so hard now!Chang Xi asked the reason for the death of the little prince, and Mei Er said it again, and said that Eunuch Gao had checked and returned this morning, and everything was fine. It seems that the little prince really died of a simple illness.

But Chang Xi always had a doubt in her heart, could it be that Yier is really so unlucky!After thinking about it, maybe this is the case. The medical conditions in ancient times were poor, and those frequently-occurring diseases of children, such as pneumonia, were all terminally ill. According to Meier’s account, it is very likely that the first child got pneumonia and then died of a high fever. retired.

Li Longji didn't make Chang Xi wait too long. As soon as he announced the title he granted to Prince Li Yi, he handed over all the funeral matters to his eldest brother, King Ning. King Ning has always been prudent in his work, so there will be no mistakes. He hurried back to Wenxin Hospital, he wanted to stay by this woman's side and warm her dead heart back!
In the next few months, he stayed by Chang Xi's side almost every day except for going to court. Chang Xi almost lost his mind because of the severe pain of losing his son. The child in the womb, Li Yi's body would not be so weak, and he said that if he hadn't gone to the valley with Li Longji for a military parade that day, maybe Yi'er would not have caught the cold and died, in short, he would take all the sins on himself, Every time at this time, Li Longji would bother to explain, and then he would hold her in his arms.

One day or two, every day was like this, and when he was not bored, Chang Xi felt a little guilty in the end. He had to deal with so many state affairs every day, but he took care of himself every day, fearing that something would happen to him, so in the past few days When Li Longji came, she forced herself to smile, and she must never let him worry about her.

Xiao Meiren and Hua Cairen still came to see her from time to time, and Wei'er ignored the taboo of her first sister Shangguan Jieyu, and often came to see her with supplements. The deep affection of these sisters really made her feel warm and grateful.

Because Li Longji was also very sad about the death of Prince One, the whole funeral ceremony was grand and luxurious. The little prince was posthumously titled King of Xia Mourning and buried in Dongcen, Longmen, so that Li Longji could ascend the city of Xingqing Palace. The child who died prematurely could be seen through the door.

Seeing Li Longji's grief, everyone was silent, even Li Fei, who was always arrogant and domineering, covered her edge, and the harem became much calmer for a while.

However, this tranquility was broken by the good news from the frontier at the end of the year!

At that time, Li Longji was sitting in the inner room of Wenxin Courtyard and chatted with Chang Xi. Gao Lishi trotted all the way to tell Li Longji the good news. The Turkic cavalry fought and fled. Not only did they take back the territory that Datang had lost over the years, but they also widened the border by hundreds of miles. It was a complete victory!

Such good news really dilutes the sadness of Li Yi's death, and everyone is more happy, even Li Longji has a smile on his face.

After the past few months, Chang Xi's mood has eased a lot. Although she would cry when she mentioned the child, she is usually very calm.

It was the New Year's Eve, and the three kings, Princess Yuzhen, the consort, and all the concubines gathered in the Liangyi Hall for the New Year's Eve dinner. These concubines had been holding back for several months, and finally they could relax and dress up. The hall is full of flowers and branches, vying for beauty.

Li Ye and Xiao Yu were fighting for wine again. After the big lords drank their stomachs, their faces were flushed, and they glanced at Chang Xi from time to time. Seeing her depressed, the feeling of drinking became even stronger. Smile wryly, people with the same fate have the most things to say.

Princess Yuzhen has stayed in the princess mansion for several months and did not go out. Finally, she was free once, so she shared the case with the queen and was very happy.

Both King Ning and King Qi were congratulating Li Longji on his victory in this battle, and the hall was full of joy for a while, only Chang Xi felt uncomfortable.

Concubine Li was in a good mood because Chang Xi had lost her child, but she was out of anger for the whole year. The queen also complained a lot because Li Longji had been taking care of Chang Xi for the past few months, and gradually turned her attention to her. body.

Everyone was eating, Feng Lu hurried over, and when he arrived at the hall, he hurriedly apologized: "The concubine is late, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Concubine Li pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Why did my sister come at this time?"

"I've wanted to come a long time ago, but I didn't know that the nanny called on the way, and Yao'er kept crying, so it's too late!" Feng Lu sat beside Li Fei with a smile.

When Chang Xi heard the two mention the child, his eyes turned red and he was about to cry, so he hurriedly held back.

Concubine Mei interrupted the conversation of the two, and said to Li Longji with a smile: "Your Majesty, the plum blossoms in the garden are blooming very well this year. How about one day, Your Majesty will accompany your ministers and concubines to enjoy the plum blossoms!"

Concubine Li Hefeng's face darkened, and Shangguan Jieyu, who was released, covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Sister Meifei always likes to mention plums and flowers, you always talk about it, don't you get tired of it!" Her tone was full of sarcasm.

"Mei Gaojie is like this, how can she get bored, I am not like you, I only worry about those chicken and worm fights!" Concubine Mei didn't raise her eyes and said a few words that made Shangguan Jieyu's face turn red.

The talented person knew that Concubine Mei had interrupted Concubine Li and Fenglu just now for the good of Chang Xi, and was grateful in her heart. Seeing that she and Shangguan Jieyu were at odds, she burst out laughing, deliberately embarrassing Mengyao.

Chang Xi is a bit tired of such palace banquets. Everyone says things that are not in the right place, and every sentence has a deep meaning. You have to think about it carefully. In the past, she would listen carefully for revenge, but now she is really disheartened. very.

Looking around, she saw Beauty Xiao sitting beside her, staring blankly at the outside of the hall, not knowing what to think about, turning a deaf ear to Concubine Mei and the others.

Chang Xi felt uncomfortable for a while, she also looked so lost, could it be that she thought of that man again?Who is this man?Since it wasn't Li Ye, who else would enter the palace?King Ning or King Qi?King Ning is so old, besides, he is too old to do such a thing, and King Qi doesn’t care about women, neither of them looks alike, if it wasn’t for the three princes, why did that man imitate Li Ye’s tone that day? What about my king!It's all just too complicated!
Xiao Meiren is really playing with fire like this every day, if Li Longji finds out about her affair someday. .Chang Xi shivered, not daring to think about it.

"What? Is it cold!" Her smile did not escape Li Longji, who had been paying attention to her, and he asked with concern.

Chang Xi regained his composure and hurriedly said, "No! The concubine is not cold!"

Li Longji raised his face. Do you have to lie about such a trivial matter?No cold shivering, "Meier, go get your master a hand stove!" His tone was full of orders, unquestionable.

The queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty really loves Sister Chang Xi."

"It's natural! My sister just lost her child, so she should take good care of herself!" Just as Guo Shunyi said this, Li Longji gave her a casual glance and closed her mouth.

Chang Xi was a little embarrassed. After all, it was because of her that all the concubines had to behave with their tails between their legs. They couldn't dress up, and they couldn't raise children, but they were so bored that they raised their wine glasses and said, "Sister, I'm here to offer you a drink. Thank you for taking care of me in the past few months, if there is anything wrong, please forgive me, sisters!" I was satisfied with a cup, showing a faint smile.

Everyone had a drink with her, and Li Longji was also very happy to see that she was so open-minded.

All the concubines were chatting happily, and Xiao Qingxiao strode in from outside the palace.

"What's the matter with Xiao Qing?" These ministers were all feasting in the outer hall, what did he come here this time without drinking?
"Report to Your Majesty!" Xiao Qing knelt on the ground, his old face turned reddish due to alcohol, "I am deeply ashamed to see that Your Majesty has been worrying and worrying all day for the past few months, and I want to share your worries for Your Majesty!"

"Oh?" Li Ye said with a smile, taking advantage of his drunkenness, "How do you share your worries for the third brother?"

There was a teasing smile on Xiao Qing's face, "I have discussed with the old minister, and I want to present a few peerless beauties to His Majesty, so that they can share their worries for His Majesty!"

As soon as these words came out, the concubines who were laughing and making noises fell silent, and the hall was silent for a while.

Concubine Mei sneered, "I remember that Master Xiao only has two sons!"

"It is true that there are only two sons in the old official's family. One of them dreamed that the heaven would be pityed to become the imperial son-in-law, and the other son also served in the Tang Dynasty. The old official is just speaking for the rest of the officials!" Xiao Qing said with a smile.

"Lord Xiao really understands the king's heart, whether he acts as a flower and bird envoy to choose a concubine, or serves as a moon elder for the other ministers, he is truly amazing!" Concubine Mei snorted coldly, her tone very disdainful.

Who knew that Xiao Qing didn't care about Concubine Mei's sarcasm at all, but even though Xiao Yu was drinking, he was still ashamed of his father and wanted to find a place to sneak in.

Li Longji didn't want to find a woman at this juncture, but he heard Xiao Qing said that it was a gift from his ministers, so he had to summon him.You must know that this group of ministers is actually very difficult to provoke. They frequently talk about the principles of Confucius and Mencius and attack you. It is absolutely impossible to be dubiously named as a foolish emperor. Besides, the general ministers donate their children to the palace. The emperor will give them status whether he likes it or not. This is the basic respect for those ministers. .

"Call me up!" Li Longji pursed his lips, first glanced at Chang Xi worriedly, and then agreed.

"No!" Xiao Qing stood up and clapped his hands.

Three well-dressed women filed in, and the first one looked gentle and affectionate, with everyone's demeanor in every gesture.

The queen has always liked such a woman, if a few more vixens are selected, she will have a headache to death!He nodded immediately and said, "What's your name?"

The woman smiled slightly, "Ms. Dong, the youngest daughter of the Minister of the Household Calligraphy, see Your Majesty and Empress!"

"It turned out to be the daughter of the Shangshu Family of the Household Department. No wonder she is so gentle and polite, very nice!" The queen nodded and smiled, and looked at Li Longji again.

Li Longji said expressionlessly: "Second-rank Fangyi!"

"Congratulations to Dong Fangyi!" Gao Lishi ordered several servants to bring another wooden table, and put it between Chang Xi and Xiao Meiren. According to the status, this Dong Fangyi is below Chang Xi, but above Xiao Meiren.

In this way, Chang Xi and Beauty Xiao were separated by her, and there was a trace of displeasure in her heart. Before Dong Fangyi entered the palace, her father briefly told her about the situation in Xingqing Palace. Honor and favor are the most prosperous, but Concubine Mei and Wu Zhaoyi are also people who cannot be offended, especially Wu Zhaoyi, who has been favored by His Majesty in recent months, so we must have a good relationship with her.At that moment, he smiled and nodded to Chang Xi, and seeing her enthusiasm, Chang Xi returned a salute.
