The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 232 Palace Discussion (Part [-])
Concubine Li sneered and said: "Who said that I will arrange him to Kunde Palace, it will be of great use for me to let him come!"

"Where did you get it? Let him come to serve us in the Ganlu Palace?" Ning Xiang opened her eyes wide, not knowing why.

Concubine Li snorted, "Tell him to go to Jiaofang Hall! I want to see why that Chang Xi is so rampant and dares to challenge me!"

After hearing this, Ning Xiang hurriedly praised a few more words, but was interrupted impatiently by Concubine Li, "You are not needed here, go to the small kitchen to look at the stew on the stove, His Majesty is coming to Ganlu Palace for lunch at noon! And Someone told the prince to come here at noon!"

"No!" Ning Xiang put down the cork and went as promised.

Concubine Li got up and washed herself first, and then sat down behind the table and sipped tea contentedly after the maid dressed her up carefully.

As soon as noon arrived, the crown prince Li Ying, who had just left court, came to Ganlu Palace without changing his court clothes. The distressed Concubine Li kept yelling to beat the maid who was not well served by the crown prince.

Although Li Ying is underage now, he already has the appearance of an adult. Wearing a white court dress, he looks heroic. He is really the same model as Li Longji. No wonder Concubine Li is proud of him all day long.

Concubine Li ordered someone to change the prince's clothes, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you recently, Ying'er in my palace has grown taller again!"

"Mother and concubine care about you!" Li Ying was still so respectful and courteous, and she never wanted to be less polite to her biological mother, "I heard that father and king are coming here for lunch?"

Concubine Li said: "That's it! Have you finished your homework? Beware of your father asking questions!"

Li Ying hummed, as if she had other plans in her heart, and didn't take Li Fei's question seriously.

Concubine Li didn't care too much, just looking for the stew in the small kitchen.Unexpectedly, after noon, Li Longji still hadn't arrived, not only Li Ying, but also Concubine Li became anxious.

Seeing this, Ning Xiang hurriedly said: "Slave, go and have a look!" Just as she was about to go out, she heard Gao Lishi's sharp voice announcing that Li Longji had already changed into casual clothes, and strolled into the hall with his hands behind his back.

"What makes the stew so delicious? It seems that Li'er's culinary skills are getting better!" Li Longji approached with a smile, and was even more delighted to see Li Ying, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Ying'er is getting taller and taller!"

Li Ying seldom sees his father except in the morning and evening, and in the early morning. At this time, he was very happy. After giving a salute, he ran over and hugged Li Longji's waist. At this time, he was no longer a child. Li Longji was very surprised. Seeing him full of childlike affection, his heart was also moved.

Concubine Li looked at her husband and son like an ordinary wife, and said with a smile, "Come and eat, be careful not to get cold!"

The three of them knelt on the ground around a big table, Li Longji was in the main seat, Li Fei and Li Ying were on both sides, Ning Xiang and Gao Lishi were waiting on the opposite side.

Concubine Li personally filled a bowl of fresh soup with Li Longji, and asked with a smile: "Why is Your Majesty late? The soup is almost cold!"

Li Longji picked up the silver chopsticks, picked up some tender bamboo shoots, and replied: "I went to Jiaofang Hall to see Wu Zhaoyi."

"Oh! That's how it is!" Concubine Li's interest suddenly lost half, and this time he had to go to the Jiaofang Hall to see that bitch, but it was really affectionate.

Prince Li Ying thoughtfully said: "Father, are you so anxious to see Wu Zhaoyi because of the fact that her two younger brothers Wu Zhong and Wu Xin were beaten by Mr. Zheng's servants?"

"Well! Today I punished Zheng Xian and returned justice to the brothers of the Wu family, so I went to the Jiaofang Hall to take a look at it." Li Longji replied casually, "This soup is really good, Li'er made it herself ?"

Concubine Li said with a smile: "It was the concubine who did it!"

Li Ying peeped at Li Longji's expression, and said in a deep voice, "I think this matter is strange!"

"What?" Li Longji didn't expect the prince to say that, put down the silver chopsticks, and listened carefully.

Li Ying also put down his chopsticks, with a serious expression on his face, "Master Zheng is usually a clean and upright official, why would he send his servants to beat Wu Zhaoyi's two younger brothers for no reason, and he was still in the street? Isn't this a bit strange!"

Li Longji said in a deep voice: "I've thought about this issue too. Zheng Xian said that he couldn't understand the two brothers of the Wu family who became lawless because of their attachment to Wu Zhaoyi, but Chang Xi told me that her two younger brothers are innocent!"

"Father, my son has something you shouldn't say!" Li Ying looked very serious, "Wu Zhaoyi is the elder sister of Wu Zhong and Wu Xin, so it is inevitable that she might be protecting her shortcomings. As the lord of the Tang Dynasty, Father should not be too fond of her." Maid and concubine!"

Li Longji couldn't help being a little angry when he heard Li Ying say this about himself. Concubine Li was watching his words, fearing that he would be displeased, so she hurriedly smoothed things over, smiled and picked up another chopsticks of bamboo shoots, "Let's eat as a family and not talk about state affairs!"

Li Ying said stubbornly: "Even if the father is angry, as the crown prince, the son will still say these words! I beg the father to send someone to investigate this matter!"

"Well, I will." Li Longji replied vaguely, disapproving in his heart, Chang Xi has a pure temperament, if she said that she would be foolish, she would believe it, but she still couldn't do it if she planned to frame other ministers.

Concubine Li changed the topic, "I heard that His Royal Highness Xue Wang is coming back from the border, will His Majesty want to clean up the dust for him?"

"It's Li'er who understands my thoughts the most. These old four have worked really hard at the border. When he returns to Chang'an City, I will personally hold a banquet for him to clean up the dust. The place will be in your Ganlu Palace! It just so happens that the flowers here It's in full bloom, and I even enjoyed the flowers by the way, this time it's a family feast, so there's no need to invite other people." Li Longji picked up the silver chopsticks and said with a smile.

Concubine Li promised, "The concubine will discuss this matter with the empress empress and Wu Zhaoyi, and it will definitely be done in a splendid manner to satisfy His Majesty."

Li Longji smiled and nodded. After lunch, he asked Li Ying some homework before returning to Qinzheng Hall.

Although it is mid-spring, the early morning suburbs of Chang'an City are still extremely cold. The shrubs on both sides of the official road are covered with crystal dew. There were long queues of people lined up.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" With a few shouts, a dozen fast horses galloped towards the loess road, and the four hooves of the flying horses raised dust, making the people on the right side avoid it. The frightened birds on the tree chirped and flew away.

"Run at this speed for another half a day, and you will be able to enter Chang'an!" The man on the white horse held the rein in one hand, and pointed forward with a whip in the other hand, looking forward, with a chic expression.

Skillful horse skills coupled with a heroic body, at first glance, it is obvious that he is a resolute general in strong and sharp clothes, and he doesn't have half the appearance of the old Xue Wang Liye, who was drunk and reckless.

"My lord, we can speed up. If it's early, we can go back to the city for lunch!" Xiao Yu rode a fast maroon horse, kept pace with Li Ye, and looked excitedly at Chang'an in the distance.

The two have been away for three years.

The frontier pass has infinite wind and frost, and the solitary smoke in the desert is curling up. How many times I look back at Yumen Pass, it makes people feel sad, and it is also the time to return home!The faces of the guards following him were also full of excitement. It was also very good to see their parents, wife and children earlier!
