The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 285 The last blow
The ground paved with fine white jade in the Kunde Hall is shining with a warm light. Although it is not as expensive and luxurious as the Jiaofang Hall, it is incomparable to other concubines in the harem. The hall is shrouded in mist, like a three-legged elephant trunk. Burning Muning incense in the incense burner, the phoenix spread its wings on the eaves carved from sandalwood, and on the white jade steps, the sapphire table of the emperor and empress glowed faintly under the light of thousands of candles.In the center of the main hall, there are several rows of small black lacquered tables inlaid with mother-of-pearl, on which there are various fruits and exquisite dishes.

After careful preparation by the queen and Chang Xi, the palace banquet on New Year's Eve was held in the Kunde Palace. This time the palace banquet was different from the past, and did not invite several princes and ministers' wives. Only Li Longji and the concubines of the sixth palace and the princes were together. When the night is approaching, the hall is full of wine and wine, singing and dancing.

The empress sat first, such as Chang Xi, Li Concubine, Mei Concubine and other high-ranking concubines, followed by Feng Lu, Yu Zhaorong, Guo Shunyi, etc. In the far corner, because of Chang Xi, only Mei Er sat beside her, separating Concubine Li.

Concubine Li looked at Chang Xi, who was decorated luxuriously due to the growing grace, and hated her to death, but thinking that Chang Xi would definitely die at the palace banquet tonight, she calmed down a little.

The queen was relieved because of Li Longji's promise, and she kept holding a jade cup to persuade her to drink, changing her old-fashioned and deliberate dignity.The rest of the concubines were all beaming with joy at this time because they hadn't seen Li Longji for a long time. Although everyone knew that Li Longji would probably stay overnight in Jiaofang Hall after the New Year's Eve banquet, they all dressed up carefully and kept their hopes in case .Perhaps His Majesty was bored with Wu Changxi, and it was only natural for him to want a change, so all the girls served the emperor on the jade steps attentively.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Dai Lisi's exquisite dancing skills also opened the eyes of everyone. The originally peaceful Kunde Palace was broken by Yun Cairen's words.I saw Yun Cairen combing a high flying bun, his face was covered with thick lead powder, he pursed his red lips, giggled a few times, and then raised the wine glass with his slender hands, "This is my concubine's cup!" A toast to Concubine Hui!"

"Oh?" Chang Xi was a little surprised, she is the Queen's confidant, isn't this first cup to respect the Queen!
The hall also fell silent in an instant. Some concubines were chatting happily with others, but they suddenly stopped their voices and were still holding wine glasses in surprise.Everyone's eyes were different, all shot at Yun Cairen in the corner.

Concubine Li immediately sneered and said: "Sure enough, someone will pick up tall branches and fly! It's a pity that a sparrow is a sparrow, even if it flies on a branch, it can't change into a phoenix!"

According to Yun Cairen's usual temper, if she was insulted in public, even if her status was lower than Concubine Li's, she would have to retaliate a few times. Everyone was looking at her with the mentality of watching the fun, but this time Yun Cairen was just indifferent. With a smile, he drank the sake in the jade cup in his hand.

Seeing her like this, Chang Xi couldn't shirk it, but as soon as she picked up the wine glass, the pungent smell rushed over her. Although she was not pregnant for a short time and had no pregnancy reaction, she still wanted to vomit subconsciously when she smelled the wine , but if you don't drink it at this time, it's too much to lose face. It doesn't matter if you lose face, but it's not good if you lose Li Longji's interest!Frowning slightly, he pressed the wine glass to his lips, ready to drink it all in one gulp.

"Wait a minute, my lady!" Yun Cairen said with a smile: "You don't want to drink this cup of lady, please ask Ou Gonggong by your side to do it for you!"

Everyone was taken aback. Brother Bao stood close and saw Chang Xi frowning. He stepped forward to drink the sake on Chang Xi's case without hesitation, and then retreated silently.

Feng Lu smiled and said, "Sister Yun drinks this wine strangely!"

"What does Huangfu Xianyi say?" Meier asked, shaking the palace fan.

Feng Lu continued: "First, I don't know why sister Yun wants to toast the concubine Hui, and second, after the toast, the concubine Hui is not allowed to drink, what is the reason?"

Everyone had this question in their hearts, and when Fenglu said it, hundreds of eyes focused on Yun Cairen again.

Yun Cairen was not arrogant or impetuous, just smiled and said: "The reason why the concubine wants to toast the concubine Hui is firstly to congratulate the empress on her pregnancy with a dragon child; secondly, to respect the empress and not allow the empress to drink, of course Afraid of hurting the emperor's heir in the empress' womb."

What she said was not loud, but it really sounded like a thunderbolt in everyone's ears.Li Longji suddenly got up, grabbed Chang Xi's hand and said in surprise: "You are pregnant again? Is it true!"

Chang Xi saw that everyone was looking at him, and Li Longji asked himself so bluntly. It seemed that he could no longer hide it. He lowered his head and said shyly: "A few days ago, the imperial physician Qian came to Jiaofang Palace to feel the pulse of my concubine. That's exactly what it said!"

Li Longji's face was slightly stiff, and he blamed slightly: "Why didn't you tell me immediately?"

"The concubine wants to surprise His Majesty!" Chang Xi blinked her starry eyes slightly, two blushes appeared on her white jade-like cheeks, and under the light of the candlelight, she was even more coquettish and charming.

Li Longji was so happy that he kept rubbing his hands on the spot, "It's great! I'm so happy!" After speaking, he burst out laughing loudly, stunned everyone present.

Looking at the reaction of the emperor in front of him, those who have good friends with Chang Xi all sincerely wish them well, and those who have had a feud with Chang Xi all gasp. Everyone here knows what it will be like for such a favored concubine Wu Hui to give birth to a dragon heir With such a result, I'm afraid that not only will the abolishment of the empress, which has caused a lot of noise, be brought up again, but if a prince is really born, even the status of the crown prince Li Ying will be threatened!

Li Ying was sitting behind the small table in the row to the right at this time, and there was no expression of shock or anger on his face when he heard the news, but there was a hint of joy. Drinking a glass of wine, "I congratulate Concubine Hui!" Originally, the prince didn't need to call himself a minister when he was a concubine except the empress, he just needed to respectfully address her by a title, but Chang Xi's status was honorable. Usually they don't call themselves the palace but sons.

Seeing him toast, all the princes beside or behind him stood up with a huff, including the queen's adopted son Li Heng, Guo Shunyi's son Li Lin, and Fenglu's son Li Yao, all raised their glasses to wish Chang Xi a safe birth to the Dragon Heir , Changle Promise.Although everyone knew that once Concubine Hui gave birth to this younger brother for the sake of her father, she might not have any part for herself, but the superficial gesture still had to be done.

Concubine Mei, who had been silent for a long time, also stood up. She was still wearing a simple and elegant dress, and even the decorations were mostly made of sterling silver. The natural uncarved beauty, the red lips moved lightly, and a pleasant voice came out, "I also wish the concubine Hui Hui all wishes come true with a glass of sake! Everything goes well!" Later, there was something unspeakable in the words Lonely and decadent.

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, but only Chang Xi understood that ever since the two bet in Lishan to see who could capture Li Longji's heart first, and Concubine Mei lost in the end, this pair has always been glamorous and arrogant, and a bit contemptuous For a little woman like Chang Xi, she was a big blow, so that Concubine Mei was very negative this winter, going out of the Dragon Palace all day long, and not interacting with outsiders.

Seeing this, the rest of the concubines raised their wine glasses one after another and said some socializing words. Even Concubine Li pretended to bless her. For this, Chang Xi thanked them all with tea. A stomach full of white water.

Originally, according to Chang Xi's intention, she wanted to wait for the fetal image to be stable before telling everyone that she had high expectations for the child in her womb. The crystallization of a man, she has already lost two children in a row, and she can't lose him anymore!So she wanted to protect the little life in her womb, but she was still told by the caring Yun Cairen. Chang Xi didn't believe that all of this was not ordered by the queen. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Yun Cairen to know that she was pregnant with her connections. !Now that everyone knows about her pregnancy, they have to bother to fight them again, but at this time she is no longer the martial artist who was bullied by others!So be careful, there is no need to be afraid!

Gao Lishi ordered the servants to bring in a mahogany chair with a back, which was cushioned with thick soot-purple flowers, and a sapphire pillow, so that Chang Xi could sit comfortably next to Li Longji, and about According to Li Longji, he ordered the Food Bureau to reorganize a table of dishes for Chang Xi.

After a while, the servants of the Shangshi Bureau brought over carefully prepared delicacies one after another, allowing everyone to witness once again how favored Chang Xi was.

Concubine Li smiled and said: "Sister Hui Concubine is the person on His Majesty's heart. She just had a miscarriage a few months ago, and she was pregnant again soon. It is really God's blessing. Your Majesty should do something to save her sister and the child in her belly. It's a bit of luck!"

Li Longji became interested when he heard Concubine Li's words, and said with a smile, "How about amnesty for the world, how would Li'er feel?"

Amnesty to the world!This is obviously the treatment that can only be given to a registered prince!Before the crown prince Li Ying could say anything, the empress stood up first, "Sanlang, concubine Hui's concubine concubine concubine concubine concubine concubine concubine concubine concubine concubine concubine concubine's womb gave amnesty to the world before it was born, I'm afraid it's a bit ostentatious!"

Hearing what Li Longji said, Chang Xi also hurriedly said: "Concubines are humble, and cannot afford such a big reward from Your Majesty. Please take it back!" Cursing half to death, what a disaster to the country, Daji, and the enchanting concubine of the prosperous age, the hats are buckled up. If this is because of the unborn child in her womb, she will not be drowned by their spit stars behind her back!It's better to have one less thing, and besides, I don't want my child to be so flamboyant before it's born, so I don't have to lose my luck.

Li Longji heard her say that he was humble and unlucky, and his face was stiff, so he wanted to teach this nonsense little girl a lesson, but Fenglu rushed to say: "Concubine Hui is humble, Your Majesty really should give the unborn little prince a lot of money." Fu, but my concubine thinks it is a little inappropriate to amnesty the world, so it is better for your majesty to change it!"

"Well, what is the solution, tell me!" Li Longji listened quietly.

Feng Lu's eyes turned red, and there were some tears. Everyone who watched was stunned for a while, seeing her walking on the red carpet and bowing down slowly, and said faintly: "The flower of Tangdi, the calyx embryo, the love of brotherhood, there is nothing like it." brother!"

Everyone was stunned again, only to hear Li Longji said in a deep voice: "Are you asking me to pardon Xue Wang and Li Ye's crimes?"

After hearing this, Chang Xi sneered inwardly. The words cited by Feng Lu came from "The Book of Songs? Lujiao Fangsi was born in Dou Da and could not read a basket, but he was able to say these words. It was obviously pointed out by someone, and I am afraid that the intention was not on Li Ye who had nothing to do with them!

Sure enough, Feng Lu said sadly: "King Xue is so rebellious, how can my concubine dare to ask His Majesty for forgiveness! However, Princess Yuzhen is His Majesty's younger sister and has never participated in the coup d'etat. Please forgive her sins and let her leave to see the sky." The Suigetsu Temple of the sun!"

As soon as these words came out, Chang Xi sneered and looked at Concubine Li and the others, it turned out that they were waiting for her here!It really is a feast without a good feast, killing every step of the way!
　Sorry for the slight delay!
