The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 265

"It's possible! Do you want to go to Li Longji to sue her? I'll be a witness!" Brother Bao said solemnly.

Chang Xi shook his head, "This matter is over, even if you tell His Majesty now, His Majesty may not believe it, and if it doesn't work out, it will implicate you, so it's better not to say it! Anyway, we have already known each other, so we don't have to worry about breaking it in the future." To Li Fei!"

"That's right!" Brother Bao nodded, "I heard that the palace will hold a palace banquet to enshrine you as Concubine Hui soon, and then we will find a way!"

Chang Xi hummed.

Brother Bao clapped his hands and laughed, "It's amazing! You actually became the head of the four concubines. It seems that Li Longji likes you very much and has a bright future!"

"What are you going to do? Always be a eunuch?" Chang Xi asked with his head turned.

Brother Bao gave Chang Xi a sideways look, "Of course not, my wish is to be a great general and gallop across the battlefield. Anyway, I'm a fake eunuch. When Concubine Li is brought down, you find a chance to explain my identity in front of Li Longji. Send me to the army, that's all right!"

"Okay!" After Concubine Li died, Chang Xi had also made up her wish, and it would not be difficult for her to beg Li Longji, but now she needed Brother Bao to help her.

In the next few days, Brother Bao and Chang Xi often chatted together, seeing Qiongyu in amazement, all the maids in the hall were talking behind their backs about how the new father-in-law, Xiao Ouzi, would be a good man, to please Concubine Hui and Empress Hui!
Ever since the civil strife happened, Chang Xi has become the favorite of the private house. Li Longji has never been to other women's palaces since then. This month, Chang Xi made hundreds of concubines and concubines in Xingqing Palace stay widows. , everyone was full of resentment, but they dared not speak.

This day, it was the Concubine Conferment Ceremony, and Chang Xi started to prepare early in the morning, and did not clean up until the evening. During this period, it goes without saying that bathing and wiping, and several layers of face powder were used, and hundreds of maids stood in the hall. Outside she was holding various palace jewelry for Qiongyu to choose from. In the end, Chang Xi changed into a big red embroidered blouse with hundreds of flowers, with a phoenix-patterned brocade palace skirt underneath, and ten white jade hairpins with eight jewel clusters According to the rank of concubines in the Tang Dynasty, only the empress can wear twelve white jade hairpins, and the concubine can only bring six. Chang Xi is the head of the four concubines, so she made an exception and asked her to bring ten white jade phoenix hairpins. The sea was all combed up, a red plum blossom makeup was put on, and more than ten armlets were hung on the two pairs of bright moon-like white arms, which was indescribably graceful and luxurious.

Li Longji used half of the queen's guard of honor to pick her up, so that when Chang Xi left the Jiaofang Hall, he saw hundreds of people kneeling on the ground. Li Longji was wearing the most formal black and red court dress, with dragon patterns embroidered on his legs He wears long boots, a jade crown on his head, and a Qingfeng sword hanging from his waist, showing the demeanor of an emperor.

Seeing the mighty and handsome man in front of him like a god, Chang Xi's heart throbbed. After he stretched out his slender right hand, he gently put his catkin on it.

Long ago, two servants moved the wooden ladder, and Li Longji took her hand and sat on the imperial chariot covered with pearls and jade, only to hear Gao Lishi shout: "Get up!"

More than 100 people worked hard at the same time, carrying the huge imperial chariot on their shoulders, and under the protection of hundreds of Jinwu guards led by Heng Yue, they slowly marched towards the ancestral temple of the Li family.At the moment when the cavalry on both sides raised their horseshoes, hundreds of musicians raised their long horns, and the sound of whining horns resounded through the sky.

All the concubines and ministers' wives on both sides of the royal road were waiting eagerly. They saw the honor guards going first, and their eyes were full of waving chess pieces. The huge queue of people walked for a long time before seeing Li Longji's imperial chariot.

Seeing Li Longji and Chang Xi approaching slowly, everyone knelt down one by one, shouting: "Long live your majesty, long live long live, long live long live, concubine Hui!"

Wu Zhong and Wu Xin had been released long ago, and they were kneeling beside the royal road with everyone, looking up slightly, seeing the elder sister sitting beside Li Longji like a fairy concubine, accepting everyone's worship, feeling excited.

Since Chang Xi's status is different from the past, today's canonization ceremony, except for the empress, Concubine Li, Concubine Mei, Huangfu Xianyi, Guo Shunyi and others all have to kneel on the ground to salute, and Chang Xi who is sitting on the imperial chariot can only see them Black hair, but can't see the face.

Li Longji held Chang Xi's right hand tightly with his left hand, and whispered softly, "Are you happy?"

"Happy!" Chang Xi smiled and squeezed his hand tightly, finally feeling the glory of being his woman today.

After the voice of Shan shouting long live gradually faded away, a tall building stood out in front of Chang Xi.

This is a four-story hall, built solemnly.

Accompanied by Li Longji, Chang Xi walked into the ancestral temple of the Li family. Twelve white jade pillars carved with coiled dragons were the pillars of the entire hall. On the huge table, there were tablets of the ancestors of the Li family.

Chang Xi followed Li Longji to kneel down on the ice-cold jade bricks. After the sacrifice, Li Longji personally handed Concubine Hui's gold seal and edict to Chang Xi from the gold plate held by Gao Lishi, "From now on, you It is my concubine Hui, who will never be held accountable for the rest of her life, and the emperor and the empress will learn from each other, if there is any violation of the oath, both men and gods will kill him!"

Chang Xi never expected that Li Longji would swear such a poisonous oath before the ancestors of the Li family, and when she tried to stop it, she had already spoken, and she gently covered his mouth with her jade hand, her big eyes She blinked slightly, a little mischievously, but also a little distressed, "No nonsense!"

Li Longji took her hand and put it on his lips and kissed it lightly, "Stay by my side forever!"

With tears in her eyes, Chang Xi nodded firmly.

When all the etiquette was over and returned to Liangyi Hall, night was already approaching.

Li Longji took Chang Xi's hand and walked through the long red carpet. At this time, those low-ranking ministers and concubines and beauties were kneeling on the steps outside the hall. The concubines, all of them squatted on the edge of the red carpet, with their hands crossed on the right side.

Chang Xi walked past them with light steps, their height only reached her shoulders, she glanced at those people casually, it turned out that Concubine Li also had such humble moments, she was no longer that proud and domineering woman, In front of him, she is just a concubine who has grown old!

Li Longji led Chang Xi to the right side of the throne, and the queen on the right also stood up to greet her.

"Congratulations, Concubine Hui!" The queen smiled and said a polite word.

Chang Xi squatted down and bowed, "My concubine Wu Changxi asks the empress to teach me!" At this time, with Chang Xi's status, there was no need to salute the queen anymore.

The queen straightened her face, "As a concubine, you should strictly abide by the etiquette and help your majesty manage the inner palace so that there will be no turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the world will live and work in peace and contentment. I hope Concubine Hui will remember it!"

"Concubine Wu Changxi listens to the empress's teachings!" Chang Xi blessed again and sat back on Li Longji's right side.

Gao Lishi waved his whisk and shouted loudly, "Li Cheng!"

"Congratulations to Concubine Hui, may Concubine Hui enjoy endless happiness!" The people outside the hall finally knelt on the ground and kowtowed before they were allowed to stand up.

After getting up, Concubine Li's face was ashen, in Chang Xi's eyes, she was angry.

Brother Bao and Qiongyu took advantage of Chang Xi's favor and stood behind her seat, one on the left and one on the right, especially Brother Bao, who was very proud of attending such a palace banquet for the first time.

Concubine Li looked at him standing beside Chang Xi, and felt extremely relieved, thinking that even if Chang Xi was proud of having this confidant, there would be times when she stumbled!But who knows that Brother Bao has already turned against each other.

King Ning was very depressed since he lost Li Ye. He has been the eldest brother for so many years, and he often takes care of the brothers, but he never knew that Li Ye had such thoughts, and King Qi also fell silent because of the deep brotherly relationship. Although the prince was not feeling very well, he was grateful to Li Longji in his heart for not killing Li Ye or touching anyone in Prince Xue's mansion.

Gao Lishi clapped his hands, and countless beautiful dancers poured into the hall immediately. They wore all-in-one dance skirts and danced to the music.

Originally, those ministers and concubines were still a little cautious, but after thirty years of wine and five flavors of food, they started to laugh again. For a while, there was a constant sound of toasting in the hall, and many concubines began to point out the dancing skills of the dancing girls.

Mei'er was originally from Jiaofang Division, and she felt a sigh of relief when she saw such singing and dancing.

Chang Xi also sighed in agreement, Li Longji turned his head and asked with a smile, "What? Are you tired? He sighed!"

"No! The concubine just remembered the time when he first met His Majesty in Jiaofangsi. In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed!" Chang Xi sighed, "The concubine is getting old! And your majesty is still as heroic and extraordinary as before. .”

Li Longji looked at Chang Xi's lamenting about time and laughed, "How old are you! It's only twenty and eight!"

"Your Majesty, this is also the twenty-eighth beauty!" Brother Bao took the opportunity to say a word.

Li Longji praised: "Speak! Lishi, enjoy the wine!"

Gao Lishi poured a glass of wine for Brother Bao, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the wine!"

"Look!" Feng Lu quietly pointed to the stage, "It seems that Xiao Ouzi is very popular with His Majesty and that bitch!"

Concubine Li sneered, "This is a good thing, the more important Xiao Ouzi is, the better it is for us to deal with her!"

Dong Fangyi leaned forward, "Thanks to the ingenious plan of the empress, the little Ouzi from outside the palace was transferred in, making her unsuspecting!"

Brother Bao condescendingly looked around at the people in the hall and saw Concubine Li, Feng Lu and Dong Fangyi chatting about something, his heart moved, he took advantage of Li Longji's opportunity to speak with the queen to whisper in Chang Xi's ear, Chang Xi nodded knowingly.

"Your Majesty!" Chang Xi smiled, revealing two beautiful dimples, "My concubine is tired of watching this kind of singing and dancing, I have a request, I wonder if His Majesty can agree to it?"

Seeing what she said, Li Longji said softly: "Today is a good day for you, if you have any requests, just ask, I will always agree!"

Chang Xi covered her mouth and smiled, "The concubine wants to see Sister Fenglu dance!"

As soon as this remark came out, the closest concubines were all stunned, especially Concubine Li and Feng Lu. Dance yourself?What do you think of yourself, a showgirl in a brothel?You must know that there is a world of difference between performing a dance for Li Longji and showing it to Chang Xi. If Li Longji really agreed today, how can I stay in Xingqing Palace in the future?
Unexpectedly, Li Longji had no scruples, and nodded without hesitation, "Okay, I will do as you wish!" Yan Bi turned to look at Feng Lu, "Go change your clothes and dance for Concubine Hui!"
