The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 261
Chang Xi's heart trembled. Li Longji was really cautious. Even with a confidant like Heng Yue, he didn't say anything about Li Ye's ambitions. Instead, he secretly checked whether these subordinates were loyal to him.

I only heard Li Qingjun continue to say, "After our incident happened, the mysterious person came more frequently. Brother Heng has been trying to guess who the lord of those people is, but he has no idea. His Majesty didn't tell him until after marrying me. Wang Liye is about to rebel, and he told him to prepare secretly, if there is a chance to deceive Li Ye, it would be even better to join them!"

The emperor's mind is as deep as the sea, and this step-by-step plan is beyond the imagination of a little woman like herself.Sure enough, the experience of talking about military affairs on paper after reading history books is fundamentally different from the experience of experiencing a coup d'etat!It's a pity that Li Ye can be regarded as a generation of heroes, but he still can't compare with His Majesty's mind and wisdom.

Li Qingjun looked at Chang Xi and was stunned, took her hand and said: "It's rare for us sisters to meet again, so I don't think about those things any more! I heard that my sister has sealed Concubine Hui, and I'm so happy!"

"Where, where!" Chang Xi just sobered up and the red face faded, and she blushed again.

Li Qingjun smiled, "Gui, Li, Shu, De, these titles were set by Empress Changsun when the Tang Dynasty was founded, and no one violated them. Only when Emperor Gaozong was alive, Wu Zetian was Zhaoyi. The name is Chen, and the name is Concubine Chen, I never thought that my elder sister would have such an honor, this kind of favor, I am afraid that no one in Xingqing Palace can match it!"

Chang Xi's eyebrows frowned slightly, "It's not necessarily a good thing to be at the top, the tree attracts the wind, and I'm afraid it will attract people's envy. I've lost the face of the queen and concubine Li in the Hanyuan Palace like this, so I can't keep them together to plot against me."

"That's right, sister should be careful after returning to the palace!" Li Qingjun was a little worried, "It's a pity that I'm out of the palace and can no longer help my sister!"

"Nothing!" Chang Xi smiled.

Li Qingjun sighed, "I heard that Sister Mei'er has also been conferred a position, and she is still a second-rank Chongyi. It's rare that she has remained infatuated with His Majesty for many years, and this is a reward!"

Chang Xi smiled, "I am also deeply relieved."

The two sisters sat together and talked, and before they knew it, it was already late at night.

The next day, it was the big day of the first day of the lunar new year. According to the etiquette, the concubines of all palaces had to go to the Kunde Hall to pay their respects to the queen, and this was Chang Xi's first court meeting after conferring on Concubine Hui, and she needed to listen to the queen's teachings, so the etiquette was even more important. grand.

Chang Xi drank a lot of wine at Hengyue's mansion last night because of the reunion with Miss Xiao, and she was still groggy when she got up early. Li Longji looked at her drunken look, smiled and asked her to sleep more, and greeted the queen. There is no rush.Chang Xi refused with a smile, and ordered the court lady Qiongyu to wash her up.

Since Mei'er sealed up Chongyi, she stopped serving her. For fear of Chang Xi's inconvenience, the Shang Palace Bureau transferred a shrewd and capable female official from another palace, named Qiongyu, who was upright, and Chang Xi met her. I am also happy.

After the palace people waited on Li Longji to go to court, they began to dress Chang Xi again. Chang Xi specially asked someone to wash his face with a basin of cold water, sobered up, and hurriedly put on the decorations that Concubine Hui should have.

Little Zhao Zi stuck out his tongue, "With the status of the empress, there is no need to do this at all, just let those people wait!"

Qiongyu gave Xiao Zhaozi a white look, "Your Majesty, don't listen to him. Even though you are the head of the four concubines, you should be more humble. Just like this, I'm afraid of those intentional picks. If you go too late, why don't you go?" Don't let those black-eyed chickens eat it!"

Chang Xi smiled slightly, "Qiong Yu is right!"

In a short while, Qiongyu had already combed Chang Xi into a flying bun. The whole bun was complicated and luxurious, with all kinds of red gold headgear on it. Chang Xi felt so tired that her neck ached from wearing this bun.

The rest of the court ladies brought more than a dozen palace attires, and they stood up for Chang Xi to choose. Finally, Qiongyu changed Chang Xi into a purple and gold Guangling Fengyue peony robe, and put on armbands and silk for her. , this can be said to be Chang Xi's most luxurious dress since entering Xingqing Palace, but it also shows off her temperament.

After going out, there were already a hundred or so people clearing the way, and Chang Xi, surrounded by these maids, led Meier and his party into the Kunde Hall.

"Sure enough, it's different for a concubine." Concubine Li looked at the unparalleled luxury Chang Xi, and let out a cold snort in her nose.

The queen glanced at Concubine Li, waved and smiled, "Chang Xi, come and sit here!"

Qiongyu supported Chang Xi's hand and sat under the queen.

Yu Zhaorong smiled lightly, "My younger sister is now the head of the four concubines, it's rare that His Majesty loves my younger sister so much, it's really gratifying!"

Chang Xi said a few words modestly with a smile, and Concubine Mei, who had not spoken for a long time, also interjected, "Your Majesty dotes on Concubine Hui, and even the maids under his hand are honored. She is a second-rank man, how can others treat her like this."

Mei'er blushed slightly, and lowered her head.

The concubines with low ranks in Yuncai are very tasty. I have been in the palace for so many years, and I have given birth to a prince for His Majesty. She is only the last talent. The maid in charge of the palace has committed serious crimes in the past, and His Majesty was able to break the rules and be promoted to the second rank of the second rank, the same position as Huangfu Xianyi, which shows Chang Xi's favor.

Sitting behind the desk, Chang Xi looked at Shangguan Cairen and Cao Ye Naji and looked at him eagerly, knowing that the two of them really wanted to move back to the Jiaofang Palace, so she smiled, "The Jiaofang Palace has been opened, how about letting Wei The two younger sisters, Er and Cao Ye, return to my concubine!"

The queen was noncommittal, but Guo Shunyi explained with a smile when she saw this, "I'm afraid it won't work, His Majesty sent someone to order the two younger sisters to stay in the Kunde Palace yesterday, saying that the Jiaofang Palace would only stay with Concubine Hui's sister, and even Wu Chongyi We have to move out too!"

"What!" Chang Xi and Meier were surprised at the same time.

Yu Zhaorong shook the palace fan, "Your Majesty ordered Wu Chongyi to move to Wenxin Courtyard, and just issued an order this morning."

"Oh!" Mei'er, Wei'er and the others were a little depressed. Chang Xi was thinking about separating from Mei'er, but she was also very reluctant. Just about to say a few more words, the queen said calmly, "Hui Sister concubine, this is His Majesty's kindness, don't refuse!"

Chang Xi had no choice but to swallow back what he was going to say, only to hear the Queen say again: "Your Majesty ordered this Palace to organize the palace banquet for the canonization of my younger sister as Concubine Hui. I don't know if there is any order for Concubine Hui? My Palace is now Listen carefully, and you won't make a mistake when the time comes."

Seeing that the queen was so humble to Chang Xi, everyone was startled, and then realized that now that Chang Xi is in the limelight, the queen is trying to win her over!Seeing this, Concubine Li curled her lips in disdain.

Chang Xi hurriedly replied, "Your empress is bothered, so I don't have anything to say to my concubine, I just ask you not to be extravagant! That way my concubine will feel uneasy."

"That can't be done!" Yu Zhaorong covered his mouth with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, you can say, this palace banquet will be spectacular!"

Chang Xi heard that this was what Li Longji meant, so he stopped talking.

The queen looked around at everyone, "A few days ago, the rebels caused a rebellion, and many concubines and concubines lacked a lot of maids in the palace. This palace has ordered the Shang Palace Bureau and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to reassign manpower. If there is anything missing from the palace sisters, now Just report to this Palace one by one!"

"Thank you madam!"

"En!" The queen wiped the tea from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, "I heard from His Majesty that a powerful fairy head will come to Baohua Palace in a few days, and you sisters can also visit and pray for the blessing of the gods! "

As soon as everyone heard the commotion, the entire Tang Dynasty believed in Taoism. It would indeed be a beautiful thing to have a powerful celestial being to guide the maze. Concubine Li first muttered in her heart that this rebellion, although she herself did not She was damaged, but the ministers Xiao Qing, Zheng Xian and others supported by her were all killed by Li Longji. Now she has become a frightened bird and urgently needs to find someone to calculate her future. this matter.

The rest of the concubines had their own desires, and they also became eager. Only Chang Xi, although he believed in souls in this world, never believed in any gods in the world, so he was not very cold.

The concubines chatted for a while longer before they left.

Mei'er is going to take little Zhao Zi to tidy up Wenxinyuan's residence first, while Chang Xi takes Qiongyu to wander around Fanglinyuan alone.

"Concubine Hui!" An indifferent voice came from behind, and Chang Xi turned her head to see that it was Concubine Mei.

"Concubine Hui wins beautifully, but the concubine does not admit defeat!" Concubine Mei's harsh tone made Chang Xi uncomfortable.

Once, Concubine Mei and Concubine Chang Xi swear by high-fiving near the green lake in Lishan Mountain, to see who can finally capture the sincerity of the emperor. Several years have passed, Concubine Mei's love is not getting better day by day, but Chang Xi has grown from a talented person to a Concubine Hui, who is second only to the empress, now seems to have the answer to this bet. However, Concubine Mei has always been arrogant and strong, never willing to admit defeat. This time the morning and evening set is over, she is the first to catch up with Chang Xi. say this.

Chang Xi knew her temperament, so she smiled slightly, "Naturally, it won't be a matter of winning or losing until the end!"

"Over the years, I have always thought that as long as you treat His Majesty sincerely, you can win his sincerity, but now it seems that this method is not effective, so I want to find a way, and I ask Concubine Hui to wait and see!" Concubine Mei has always had a cold and arrogant face. She smiled a little, as if she was very confident in her new method, but she didn't want to take advantage of Chang Xi, so she said it frankly, which made Chang Xi prepare.

Chang Xi admired her temperament very much. Although struggles in the harem are inevitable, it is rare for Concubine Mei to be open and upright every time she fights for favor. Now she accepts the letter of challenge, "I will continue to work hard and tie the knot forever Live in His Majesty's heart!"

"Jiang Caiping is very happy to have an opponent like you, at least the life in the harem will not be lonely!" Yan Bi bowed slightly, and took the maid to go.

Qiongyu was still staring at Concubine Mei's back in a daze, and it took her a while to recover, "I heard that Concubine Mei's temper was aloof and unusual when I was in the Shang Palace Bureau, and it was true at first sight!"

"Such a person can be regarded as a confidant, and it is better than calculating behind the scenes." Chang Xi said lightly.

If Qiongyu realized something, "That's right, for example, the Empress Empress, although she said everything on the surface was for her own good, but in fact she was using her own little thoughts!"

"How to say?" Chang Xi took off a huge peony and put it under her nose.

Qiongyu smiled, "Let's not let Shangguan Cairen and Caoye Naji go back to the Jiaofang Palace. She was obviously afraid that those people would come to the Jiaofang Palace and increase your favor, so she stayed here graciously." Let’s put it this way, even if His Majesty loves you the most, you will have to go to Shangguan Cairen and Caoye Naji at least a few times in this month. In this way, the Queen can also see His Majesty in the honor. This is not a secret split Is it a good way for you to pet!"
