The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 284 The Flying Joy

Both the queen and Li Longji were taken aback, although this Dai Lisi was a dancer hired by the queen with a lot of money, but there was no love between them, I don't know why she helped him like this, Li Longji asked: "Why do you do this? "The implication is why give up rewards to help irrelevant people.

Dai Lisi smiled faintly, "My servant also loved a man in Tianzhu before, but that man insisted on becoming a monk and abandoned this servant. The servant hangs around in front of the Buddhist temple where he became a monk day and night, wanting to see him, how could he know that after waiting for three years, he They refused to come out to meet each other, so the slave girl was disheartened, so she went away and came to the Drunken Immortal Workshop in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, and became a dancer. So the slave girl knows the pain of missing someone, please forgive me. This kind of pain, give the honorable empress a chance!"

Shocked by her gentle advice, Li Longji once again looked at Doris, who was kneeling on the ground, with admiration, "I will give you a chance to choose. If you want to stay in the palace, I can let you You go to preside over the Jiaofang Division!"

Dai Lisi smiled lightly, "I don't want to!"

"Why did you refuse so quickly?" Li Longji's eyes flashed with astonishment.

Doris said neither humble nor overbearing: "It can be seen that His Majesty likes the empress of Jiaofang Palace very much. Even if the servants enter the palace, they will be lonely and lonely. It is better to stay in Zuixianfang. , Doris, thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Li Longji had a good impression of this interesting foreign girl, "In this way, I will give you a favor, you can enter the palace to compete with the dancers of the Jiaofang Division at any time, how about that?"

Dai Qisi is crazy about dancing, but she really likes Li Longji's reward, so she kowtowed a few times to thank Li Longji happily.

"In this case, I will have dinner here tonight!" Li Longji agreed to Dai Lisi's request, then turned his head and told Gao Lishi, "Go to Jiaofang Hall and tell Concubine Hui that she doesn't have to wait for me!"

Gao Lishi was a little hesitant, and asked tentatively: "Then His Majesty will stay with the Empress tonight?"

Li Longji hesitated in his heart, he actually still wanted to go back to the Jiaofang Hall to accompany Chang Xi, but leaving after dinner would be too embarrassing for the queen, and it was true that he hadn't stayed in the Kunde Hall for several months, which was not in line with palace etiquette. Immediately said: "Well, I will stay at the queen's place at night, and I will tell Concubine Hui to let her go to bed earlier and not stay up late."

"No!" Looking at Gao Lishi who went out to deliver the letter, the queen felt a surge of excitement, and looked gratefully at Doris who was underground, and Doris smiled, signaling the queen not to worry.

Li Longji and the empress had dinner in Kunde Hall, during which Dai Lisi told a lot of anecdotes about her hometown, causing everyone to laugh, danced a few more dances after the meal, and then left.

The queen accompanied Li Longji into the inner hall, undressed him first, and then sat in front of the dressing table to take off her makeup.In the sleeping hall, red candles were flickering, reflecting on the pale pink gauze curtains, making the place where it was shot emit a hazy red light, and half of the magnolias were burning in the bronze incense burner on the desk, with a strong fragrance.

Li Longji had already taken off his jade crown, was wearing loose pajamas, and was lying on the couch reading a book. Under the candlelight, his side face showed a clear outline. At this time, Li Longji was nearly forty years old, and it was the most mature and charming time for a man. The queen sitting in front of the dressing table was a few years older than him. After the heavy lead powder on the face, the whole person looks ten years older, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes are more obvious.

"Your Majesty!" The queen took off the hairpin, wrapped one arm around the temple, and wanted to pull off the burnt-blue hollow phoenix head, but she didn't know that the phoenix hairpin was wrapped with a few strands of black silk, and she wrapped it around her head to pick it off. If it doesn't come down, the queen's hair has already thinned due to age, so she cherishes her long hair very much, and said softly, "Sanlang, can you help me?"

Li Longji hummed lightly, but still focused on the scroll in his hand without moving.

The queen turned her head silently, facing the hazy bronze mirror, she was still working hard, but she still couldn't get it off, and in a hurry, she pulled hard. Although the phoenix hairpin was taken off, a strand of black hair fell off, and the cloud temples followed. Halfway through, the queen looked at herself in the bronze mirror, who was fading and loving, and was startled for a while, then a sour air rushed into her heart, two lines of tears fell on the skirt of her clothes, making a slight sobbing sound .

Hearing the sound, Li Longji put down the scroll, and looked in surprise at the queen who was wearing a small coat and was weeping with her head bowed. She had never seen her like this before. She was not as dignified and old-fashioned as before, and she was as delicate as a white pear flower trembling in the wind and rain. .

He stood up, walked to the dressing table, and gently embraced the queen into his arms. The sitting queen only reached Li Longji's waist. She just hid her face in his arms, and he could feel Her gurgling tears had already wetted his pajamas, he felt a pain in his heart, his softest part was poked, and he said softly, "Why are you crying so well?"

"The concubine knows that she is old and ugly, not younger and more beautiful than Concubine Wu Hui, to please San Lang. San Lang dislikes the concubine, doesn't want to see the concubine again, and even wants to abolish the concubine, but does San Lang remember when he was newly married? The scene where you dressed me and painted my eyebrows? When I think of my appearance at that time, my heart feels very uncomfortable!" The queen was really moved, and she couldn't help crying when she thought of the good time when she was young and in love with him.

Li Longji was startled, recalling the years back then, when he was just a king of Linzi with no political future, but she was still a cheerful and lively military officer's daughter.Dressing in the mirror, her hazy eyebrows like a spring mountain came from her own hands; cooking tea under the moon, the green leaves of Longjing rolled in the boiling mountain spring water, giving off a faint fragrance, she was wearing a white gauze dress, and her hair was just loose Holding the ground in front of his chest, he sat weakly and gracefully under the pear tree, scooping up the tea foam in the pot with a golden spoon, while holding the Qingfeng sword himself, he drew several sword flowers under the tree, the breeze blowing, the pure white The pear blossom was pierced by her own sword energy, fluttering in the air, and landed on her hair and shoulders, she gave herself a slightly coquettish look, making herself laugh out loud.

It turned out that I had such a beautiful past with her!

The queen seemed to be immersed in it too, and after a while she said quietly: "The concubine knows that she was born in the general family, and she doesn't have the wisdom of her mother, and if she doesn't do well, it will annoy Saburo. Don’t you miss my father trading clothes for a bucket of flour to make soup cakes for your birthday?!”

Li Longji, who was confused in his memories, was suddenly shocked by the queen's words!Recalling the scene of that day, when I was suppressed by the Wu family, I couldn't hold my head up. I went to the queen's father Wang Renjiao's house as a guest, and the Wang family was so poor that they couldn't produce a bucket of flour. Later, Wang Renjiao knew that it was his birthday. He pawned a piece of clothing and exchanged a bucket of noodles to make soup cakes for Li Longji's birthday.

How can I forget such a relationship so easily?Li Longji's face fluctuated under the candlelight, as if he was making a difficult decision. After a long time, he sighed, "Don't worry, the queen! I won't give up the empress lightly!"

The queen let out a long sigh of relief. Her elder brother Wang Shouyi taught her to impress Li Longji with emotion, and it really worked!Hearing Li Longji's promise, the queen, who had been in fear all this time, felt relieved, and said to herself: Now the only thing left is to give birth to a prince for him!As long as you have a prince, your position will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Thinking of this, she wrapped her jade arms around Li Longji's waist. Li Longji smiled slightly, picked up the queen by the waist, put her on the couch, and drew the pale pink curtains. It was another night of spring night, the snow was still flying outside, and the entire Xingqing Palace was as silent as a virgin.
