The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 217 Entering the Jiaofang Palace
Chang Xi is very clear about her thoughts. Of course, this shrewd woman wants to use herself to reproduce the glory of the Wu family, but it's a pity...it's impossible!The reason why Wu Zetian wanted the wind to win the wind and the rain to win the rain stemmed from her husband, Gaozong Li Zhi's cowardly character. Emperor Gaozong relied on the strong Wu Zetian like a child who couldn't grow up, and Li Zhi Longji is different, he himself is a resolute person, although sometimes willful and sentimental, but never cowardly, and Chang Xi is not a woman with a strong mind, so let her control Li Longji like Wu Zetian controlled Gaozong , It is unrealistic!
Seeing Chang Xi's dazed look, Yang's mouth twitched, and she smiled slightly, "Daughter must think this is impossible, right?"

Chang Xi was shocked, this man was too fierce!Why do I guess so accurately every time?
"There are many ways to control a man. A resolute and decisive person like His Majesty needs another strategy, you." Just as Yang Shi wanted to educate her daughter, Meier went to the hall with a wooden case.

"This is freshly brewed tea, Madam, please taste it!" Meier knelt on the ground and brought two cups of hot tea.

Yang nodded, "Put it down, let's go!" He treated Mei'er like a slave.

Meier then obediently went out.

Chang Xi said with some embarrassment: "She is... the daughter's friend, mother should not speak of her in the tone of ordering a servant!"

Yang smiled slightly, disapproving in her heart, it turned out that this daughter of hers was still at the stage of treating her maid as a friend, knowing that she was good-natured and stubborn, Yang did not hold her back, but nodded slowly, indicating that she would not do it next time .

Chang Xi saw Yang's approval, and smiled, "Mom, go ahead!"

Mrs. Yang picked up the tea, blew it lightly, and took a sip, "I haven't had such good tea for a long time! Ever since your aunt passed away, the Wu family suffered a complete defeat due to usurping power. All the men in the family who participated in this matter were killed. Because of your father's early death, your mother was spared, and now, the Wu family depends entirely on you!"

Chang Xi's heart sank. Originally, she wanted Yang Shi to be by her side to soothe her empty and lonely heart, but she knew that she would never leave her family behind, so she could only say: "Daughter will do her best, mother, please rest assured!"

Mrs. Yang nodded slowly, "Your brothers Wu Zhong and Wu Xin have been assigned official positions by His Majesty in the court. This is a great thing for you. You must know why those concubines can stand still without favor. One is to have children, and the other is because of the support of courtiers. For example, the queen has her elder brother Wang Shouyi, the concubine Li has minister Xiao Qing, and even the newly promoted Dong Fangyi, Lin Deyi, Xiao Meiren, Shangguan Jieyu, etc., their fathers are all in court. Being an official is because they are so powerful, no matter how many winds and rains they have experienced, they are not easy to fall, you have no foundation before, and everything depends on His Majesty's happiness and anger, so if you say you are in the cold palace, you will be in the cold palace!"

This statement really woke up Chang Xi!Why is Concubine Li safe and sound when things happen to her again and again, and why she can come out glamorously after entering the cold palace? Isn't it because of her solid foundation!The crown prince of the Eastern Palace Li Ying and the courtier Xiao Qing, together with the concubine Li in the palace, formed a solid iron triangle, without any one end, and without any three ends, no one can shake it, one hair can affect the whole body , Whoever disposes of Concubine Li must weigh the stakes in it. It seems that in the future, he will also cultivate his own foreign ministers, so that his favor can be preserved forever.

Yang comforted her and said: "Daughter, don't worry, your two elder brothers will definitely help you, so you can rest assured that you can keep His Majesty's heart in the palace!"

When mentioning the newly promoted concubine just now, Chang Xi realized that Wei'er and that Caoye Naji hadn't come yet, so she asked, "Why haven't Shangguan Cairen and that beauty from Cao Country come yet?"

Yang groaned softly, "They are just concubines in the side rooms of the palace, so they are not qualified to live in the Dragon Palace tonight. Naturally, you should live in first, and after a few days, send someone to order them to live in!" Said At this point, Yang paused, "Daughter, you are the lord of the first palace, and you usually want to have a good relationship with those concubines, but you have to pay the concubines from time to time to keep them in check!"

After hearing this, Chang Xi remained silent. Seeing that she was sleepy from deep thinking, Mrs. Yang said, "You are tired too, go to sleep first! Mother will go and see for you what is not satisfactory in this palace."

"Thank you, mother!" Chang Xi bowed slightly, and did not refuse. She was really exhausted physically and mentally, and wanted to have a good sleep.

After Mrs. Yang left, Chang Xi went to bed by herself.

It was a big bed, two or three times bigger than the one in Wenxin Courtyard, with high bed soft pillows and brocade quilt with tassels, so comfortable that people could not wake up from sleep.Chang Xi lay on the bed, looking around the empty hall, thinking of the scene where the woman who was related to him by blood was so beautiful.

Can I reach such a peak myself!One person is under one person and over ten thousand people, the law follows what one says, and no one dares to fight!
Wu Zetian!She chanted the name in her heart and slowly fell asleep.

In the dream, she saw her two dead children again. One was bleeding from all seven orifices, and the other was burning red all over. It was difficult for her to wake up like a nightmare, and she clutched the brocade mattress under her body convulsively.

Why take my child away!Why!In the nightmare from which she would never wake up, she repeatedly questioned God's words, but saw the little man who changed into a human form like smoke, standing on top of her head and sneered: "Because you killed me, so your child also killed me!" All die! All die!"

While the villain was talking, blood began to slowly ooze from his nose and eyes.

"Who are you!" Chang Xi shouted in horror.

The little baby sneered, "You killed me, don't you know that!"

"You. You are the unborn child in Yun Cairen's belly?!!" Chang Xi was shaking like a sieve, stammering: "I didn't mean it, I didn't know that powder would kill you! I didn't mean it of!"

"You killed me, that's why your child died. You killed your own child! You killed yourself!" The villain pointed at Chang Xi's face and cursed endlessly.

No matter which direction Chang Xi turned with her face covered, she would always see him!Unable to get rid of it.

"Ah!" With a shrill cry, she suddenly stood up!Finally woke up from the nightmare, wiped off the dense sweat on his forehead, and lifted the overlapping curtains, the lights in the empty hall were not extinguished, and there was no one there, only the bleak moonlight slanting into the hall, dancing like ghosts curtain.

"Ah! Ah!" Chang Xi was so frightened that he leaned against the corner of the bed, trembling all over.

More than a dozen flaming lights quickly flew towards the hall from outside the hall, like will-o'-the-wisps in hell, about to devour her.

"Come on! Help! Come on!!" Chang Xi shouted, mother, Meier, Xiao Zhaozi, and others!
"Zhaoyi, what's the matter with you! Are you okay!" Mei'er put the glass lamp in front of Chang Xi's eyes first, followed by more than a dozen court ladies who heard the sound and ran over with the lamp.

"Mei'er!" Chang Xi cried and hugged her, "I'm so scared, this place is so scary!"

Mei'er embraced Chang Xi's body, and found that her hair was soaked with sweat, and her pajamas were tightly attached to her body due to sweat, she patted her back lightly with her hand, and comforted her: "It's okay! It's okay, you must be staying here for the first night, so you're not used to it, and you'll be fine in a few days!"

"Woooo!" Chang Xi refused to let go of her, crying very sadly.

Mei'er saw this, it seemed that she couldn't leave tonight, so she ordered the new maid Rui Chu to say: "Go to the side hall and tell Madam that Zhaoyi is fine, she might have woken up too!"

"No!" Ruichu walked out holding the glass lamp.

Meier said again: "The rest of the people lighted all the lamps in this hall, and then left six people to watch the night here. Remember, every six people will take turns to watch the night for Empress Zhaoyi!"

"No!" Everyone obeyed the order and dispersed.

Little Zhao Zi said: "Zhaoyi, don't be afraid, the servant is guarding outside the hall, you can rest assured to sleep!"

"No need! It's good to have Mei'er by my side, you're tired after a busy day, go and rest!" Chang Xi brushed her hair behind her and waved her hands.

Little Zhao Zi still wanted to say more, but Meier said softly, "It's good to have me here, father-in-law, go and rest!"

"That's good! The slave is resigning!" Xiao Zhao Zi cupped his hands and was about to go down.

"Wait!" Chang Xi stopped him, "Your Majesty, where is Your Majesty tonight? Is it in the Palace of Eternal Life? Or is it in the bedroom of some concubine?"

Little Zhao Zi turned around and said respectfully: "I heard it's in Lin Deyi's Liuyun Garden!"

"Oh." Chang Xi was slightly disappointed, "Go down!"

Seeing this, Mei Er advised, "I'll sleep with you!"

"En!" Chang Xi grabbed a pillow and gave it to Meier, and the two of them lay on the same couch.

When the two were in Yifangyuan of the Jiaofang Division, they often slept under the same quilt, and sometimes chatted until late at night and were reprimanded by the female officer walking outside the door. It had been a long time since they had such an opportunity, but they didn't know what to say.

The bright lights in the Dragon Palace are no longer the strange appearance just now. It turns out that the transition from hell to heaven is so fast. From the overlapping curtains, one can still vaguely see the palace ladies standing watch at night in the palace.

Chang Xi couldn't sleep anymore!
Not only was she thinking about her dead relatives, but she was also thinking about Li Longji.Sure enough, he has started a new round of favors. Tonight is Lin Deyi from Liuyunyuan. It seems that he likes her very much!Among the three, the first to be lucky was this cheerful and bright woman. Suddenly, Chang Xi also felt a little jealous. That Lin Deyi was so young and energetic, and she was already in her twenties, so she was still alive. After having two children, no matter how good the maintenance is, fine crow's feet have appeared, and the lower abdomen has slightly drooped, which is not as flat as before.

This is the common tragedy of women in the palace!The empress, Yu Zhaorong, and Guo Shunyi experienced this tragedy, followed by Li Fei and Liu Meiren, and now it's my turn!These people used to think that being young was an advantage, but they never thought that this advantage would turn into a disadvantage so quickly!There will always be women more colorful and more beautiful than herself entering the palace, and Chang Xi finally realizes this cruel fact.

"Tomorrow, order someone to bring Wei'er and that Cao Cao Ye Na Ji!" Chang Xi turned over and said to Mei'er rather helplessly.She had a premonition that the foreign woman like Cao was the woman Li Longji was most interested in. The reason why he favored Lin Deyi for the first time was probably to silence the courtiers. After Dong Fangyi was also lucky, he would come to find this woman Blonde, blue-eyed, muscular woman with a lot of flair!Winning over newly promoted concubines as a means of securing favor, when will it be my turn to do this!

Chang Xi sighed softly, turned over again, and slowly fell asleep.

Mei'er looked at her tossing and turning in some surprise.
