The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 260
Chang Xi didn't expect that the closure of Jiaofangdian was because he wanted to protect himself, so his throat choked up but he didn't know what to say.

"Don't cry like I bullied you! Come out of the palace with me!" Li Longji wiped away the tears from the corners of Chang Xi's eyes with his hands.

"Leaving the palace?" Chang Xi looked at him suspiciously.

Li Longji smiled, "Take you out to play!"

When the lanterns come on, the city of Chang'an is full of prosperity.

Li Longji took Chang Xi through the night market in an ordinary Qixiang car, the wheels were rumbling, and they drove very slowly, in order to let Chang Xi, who had never been out of the palace, see clearly.

Chang Xi, who was holding up the curtain to reveal half of her face, was obviously very curious about these strange sights, such as the steaming chaotic shop, the fire-breathing street performances, and the woman holding a long sword and performing a sword dance.

The sound of hawking on the street one after another, mixed with the laughter of children and the chatting and laughing of the common people, is a picture of the prosperity of Kaiyuan.

At this time, Chang Xi felt that Li Ye's behavior of forcing the palace was a bit selfish. In the eyes of the common people, whoever can make them live well is a good emperor. Obviously, the men around him have such ability and courage.

"It's almost there!" Li Longji gently held Chang Xi's slender waist with his hand.

Chang Xi was taken aback, "Where are we going? Isn't it just strolling on the street?"

Li Longji stretched his legs to make himself more comfortable, "Go to General Hengyue's residence."

"Oh!" Chang Xi replied lightly, although Heng Yue made great contributions to this coup, but in Chang Xi's heart, the matter of Miss Xiao has always been brooding.

Li Longji didn't notice her listlessness, "Heng Yue just married a new wife. It is said that she is dignified and virtuous. like her."

"Really!" Chang Xi said perfunctorily, not wanting to answer the question.

The carriage took another cup of tea, rounded the corner, and stopped at the gate of a small mansion.

"Please get off, Mr. and Madam!" Since it was an unannounced visit, Gao Lishi addressed Li Longji and Chang Xi as "Master and Madam".

Li Longji got out of the carriage first, and then he carried Chang Xi down, and just stepped into the door, Heng Yue and the servants of the mansion had already knelt in the courtyard to welcome him.

"I see Your Majesty!" Heng Yue bowed to the ground.

Li Longji helped him up, "Don't be too polite!"

Heng Yue stood up, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui, please enter the inner hall, dinner is ready."

Li Longji chuckled and said: "I came here, I didn't reward you, but I made a meal first."

"Your Majesty, it's my honor to be here!" Heng Yue welcomed the two into the inner hall.

Chang Xi looked left and right, but did not see Heng Yue's beloved wife, entered the inner hall, everywhere was orderly, the whole place was decorated neither luxuriously nor shabby, Chang Xi became curious about that woman.

Heng Yue greeted Li Longji and Chang Xi and sat down, knelt at the side and waited, "You all go down!"

The servants who served the food retreated one by one.

"General Hengyue, where is your wife?" Chang Xi looked around and asked softly.

Heng Yue smiled, his eyes were full of doting, it seemed that he really liked this lady, "My wife dare not leave the room when she is inside."

"Oh?" Chang Xi was a little surprised, guessing that the family members had to get permission from Li Longji to come in, "Your Majesty, this concubine wants to see General Heng's wife!"

"En!" Li Longji nodded.

Heng Yue rushed into the house and said hello, "Come out!"

The curtain was lifted, and Chang Xi first saw a pair of white exquisite embroidered shoes, followed by a woman in a light blue dress who lowered her head and came out from behind the curtain, her figure looked like she had seen it somewhere before.Her jet-black hair was coiled into a cloud shape, with a silver walking stick stuck in it. It turned out to be the headdress that she gave Xiao Meiren back then!

Chang Xi was furious, and Heng Yue was too insignificant!Xiao Meiren's used hairpin is not easy to store, but she has given it a new favorite!At the moment, he didn't care whether Heng Yue was a hero or not, so he wanted to reprimand him.

Unexpectedly, the woman opened her mouth first, "I will refer to Your Majesty and Concubine Hui!" After speaking, she raised her head and smiled brightly at Chang Xi.

Chang Xi's curse stopped in her throat, and she pointed at the woman in front of her in disbelief, "Xiao Xiao'er?"

Heng Yue smiled, "This is Weichen's new wife, the daughter of Lord Li's family, Li Qingjun."

"Oh?" Isn't it Xiao Meiren?Chang Xi looked around everyone suspiciously.

Li Qingjun smiled and said: "Could it be that the minister's wife is like an old friend of Concubine Hui?"

Li Longji looked at Li Qingjun, "You look very similar to a beauty who died of illness!"

"Oh?" Li Qingjun looked very surprised, "This is the honor of my wife!"

Suspicions arose in Chang Xi's heart. Could it be that Li Longji found a woman who was exactly like Xiao Meiren to marry Heng Yue, and that was the only way to appease him?
Li Qingjun said with a smile: "The humble family has nothing to offer, please forgive me, Your Majesty and Empress!"

"No problem!" Li Longji waved his hand.

The four of them just started having dinner. Even so, it was actually Heng Yue and his wife who served, while Li Longji and Chang Xi ate.

Chang Xi looked at Li Qingjun, Hengyue, and Li Longji from time to time on the table, seeing that there was no reaction on Li Longji's face, it seemed that this woman just looked like Xiao Meiren, otherwise Li Longji's Temper, not beheaded on the spot.

After thirty days of drinking, Heng Yue said: "Concubine Hui is a little drunk, you can accompany your mother into the inner room to talk!"

Chang Xi really felt a little hot on his face, "Your Majesty and General Heng take it slow!"

Li Qingjun hurriedly stepped forward to help Chang Xi, and the two daughters entered the inner room.

Li Longji and Heng Yue looked at their backs and smiled at each other.

Chang Xi was sitting on the couch in the inner room, looking at the woman in front of her with drunken eyes, whose every move and every move resembled Beauty Xiao, "Qing Jun, you really look like a younger sister like me!"

"Really!" Li Qingjun blinked mischievously, "Sister Chang Xi!"

"Eh?" Before Chang Xi could react, Li Qingjun had already rushed forward and hugged him.

Chang Xi was excited, "You are? You are!"

"I'm Xiao'er!" Li Qingjun smiled particularly comfortably.

"You're Xiao'er? You're Xiao'er!" Chang Xi hugged Li Qingjun, tears streaming down his face. The two daughters hugged first, and then both began to cry. Then they sat down on the couch calmly and told each other goodbye. love.

Chang Xi wiped off the tears on his face with a handkerchief, "Did His Majesty give you death?"

Li Qingjun shook his head slightly, "At first I thought I was going to die, but I drank poisonous wine, and when I woke up, I found myself lying in Mrs. Li's daughter's boudoir, and all the servants in the room called me Miss, I was confused I don't know why this happened, until one day His Majesty ordered me to be betrothed to Brother Heng, then I realized that all this was arranged by His Majesty!"

"So that's how it is!" Chang Xi sighed, he never thought that Li Longji would be able to bear the anger for a while, and fulfill this pair of fateful mandarin ducks.This is also the reason why Heng Yue was not very sad after Xiao Meiren's death, and was more loyal to Li Longji.

Li Qingjun poured a cup of tea for Chang Xi, "Before this happened, there were always mysterious people who persuaded Brother Heng to betray His Majesty. Brother Heng didn't know who the lords of those people were, but His Majesty already knew. Do you remember? On the day when our accident happened, His Majesty said to Brother Heng, "If it wasn't for your loyalty, I would have killed you long ago!" The thing is that Brother Heng has rejected the high-ranking officials and generous salary promised by that man time and time again, and has always been loyal to His Majesty!"
