The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 29
According to Li Longji's order, Gao Lishi waited on the bank of Fanglin Garden to welcome the empress and concubines, waited left and right, and finally came to the boat, but only three concubines, Li Fei, Liu Jieyu, and Wang Meiren, got off the boat. Next, hurry to ask where the empress is!

Concubine Li told him with a covered smile that the empress didn't like this boat, she thought it wasn't luxurious enough, so someone over there would build another one, and it would take a day and a half to come here.

The frightened Gao Lishi broke out in cold sweat and didn't know how to deal with it.

Concubine Li saw him like this, so she clamored for him to lead everyone to find His Majesty, but Gao Lishi had no choice but to take them to kowtow to Li Longji before making a fuss.A group of people turned left and right, passed through the flowers, walked higher and higher, and came to a large grassland. The grassland had already been paved with long carpets and wooden tables. You can enjoy the fun of drinking water. On the right side are large clumps of peonies in an arc shape, red, white, purple, green, black, and blue in different colors, competing for splendor and attracting butterflies.

Li Longji sat in the center, with the three kings and the ministers and scholars on the right hand side, and several rows of wooden tables waiting for the queen and others to sit on the left hand side.

Ning Wang Li Xian and Qi Wang Li Fanzheng were talking about the blooming 'Wei Zi' behind them. The ministers also talked about Yaohuang, Zhao Fen, Erqiao, Qinglongwomochi and other precious peonies. Xue Wang and Li Ye were bored to death because they didn't have an attractive lady to serve them, so they drank alone.

When everyone was chatting and laughing happily, they only heard the ringing sound in their ears, and then there was a burst of fragrance in the wind. Everyone could still smell the fragrance of peony flowers, but Li Ye had already clapped his hands and shouted: "Finally looking forward to the arrival of the beautiful woman!" Before he could finish his sentence, several women and Gao Lishi came over slowly holding Concubine Li, and only then did everyone know that the refreshing fragrance just now was the fragrance of powder from Concubine Li's body.

Everyone hurriedly got up and said thousand years old, Li Ye said with a smile: "The concubine Li is still so beautiful and moving!"

Concubine Li led Liu Jieyu and Wang Meiren to sit down, and said to Li Ye with a smile, "Fifth Brother's mouth is still so sweet, no wonder the girls in Chang'an City say, 'Seeing Wulang for life'."

Li Ye laughed loudly, but he was disrespectful to such praise.

Li Longji saw Concubine Li smiling coquettishly at him frequently, she was weak, and she became thinner and thinner in the past few days, probably because he scolded her, and she thought about it all day long. After several years, he had children again, so he eliminated most of his grievances towards her.

Turning his head and looking back, but he couldn't see the king and queen, Li Longji frowned slightly, and just wanted to ask Gao Lishi, but saw a red sun reflected in the water of the Qujiang River, shining like a heretical golden light, flickering on the water, Li Longji I was stunned for a moment.Everyone looked down from the heights and followed Li Longji's eyes to see the magnificent scenery. Those adults who hadn't seen it stopped talking when they saw the others, and followed the crowd to see the magnificent scenery. They couldn't help but be amazed.

In the daylight, I suddenly saw a small boat floating towards me, the faces of the people in the boat could not be seen clearly on the shore, only a few vague shadows, but it must be a woman, the ribbons on her body danced with the wind, as if it was a fairyland that came along the Tianhe River fairy.Everyone let out a "Hey", and all stood up and stretched their necks to look into the distance. The boat was getting closer and closer, and the clear and crisp sound of pipa came from the water's edge. The order was placed, and everyone was mesmerized by hearing it.

The sound of the pipa is also mixed with a woman's melodious singing, "What is this evening... . . . , In the boat..., what day is it today.... .The prince is in the same boat, 'the beauty is that the singing is far and near, high and low, intermittent, and vague, making everyone suspect it is fairy music from the fairyland, which cannot be recovered, and they wish to have two ears again!
The small boat zigzags down from the Qingxi River, gradually approaching the crowd, and there is a woman on the bow with a skin that is more radiant than snow, her appearance is like a begonia blooming under the morning dew, her slender waist is like a willow in spring, she is holding a paddle, looking forward to the time. His spirit was flying high, "like a fairy girl in Langyuan, she is absolutely better than Qiongnv in Guigong Palace".

Everyone didn't know who she was, but Li Longji had already seen that standing on the bow of the boat facing the wind with fluttering robes was Chang Xi, who just watched silently without making a sound.

Xue Wang and Li Ye blushed, and praised: "I haven't seen you for a few days, this little girl is more and more charming!"

When everyone heard it, someone already said a few times, presumably it was the stunning beauty that King Xue picked up somewhere.

Concubine Li saw that Chang Xi had broken her trick again and covered her limelight, her face turned pale with anger, and Beauty Wang persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, the best show is yet to come!"

Liu Jieyu also comforted: "Let them have a taste of the empress's tricks later, so that the old women and clowns will know that the empress is not someone who is waiting for nothing."

When the boat stopped at Fanglin Garden, although everyone didn't know Chang Xi, they had already seen the queen and the ladies sitting behind her, and they all bowed and said thousand years old.

Li Longji stepped forward quickly, holding the hand of Queen Wang and said with a smile: "No wonder Qing came so late, it was originally for me to arrange such a wonderful performance."

The emperor and empress were seated, and Li Longji asked, "Who came up with this idea?"

Chang Xi came out from among the maids, and said back: "All these arrangements are the empress's intention. The empress came up with this idea a long time ago when she saw that His Majesty was having a banquet in the Furong Garden, in order to entertain all the guests."

Li Longji took the queen's hand and said, "The queen has a heart! I am very satisfied with the arrangements these few times." The queen lowered her head and smiled, secretly praising Chang Xi for not taking credit and giving herself a big face in front of Li Longji.

Ning Wang Li Xiandao: "I don't know which lady is playing the pipa and singing "Yueren Song"! This pipa is played well and the tune is also sung wonderfully. This king may not know the taste of meat in three months!"

Everyone laughed, Huangfu Deyi and Zhong Meiren stood up and said a few words of humility.

Concubine Li saw the bright faces of the queens and the anger in her heart, so she wanted to change the topic earlier, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty! I think the peonies in the Furong Garden are better than last year!"

Seeing Concubine Li opened her mouth, Lord Xiao Qing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has eyes! Look at Yao Huang Wei Zi and Zhao Fen Erqiao, they are all famous peonies. The flowers are delicate and beautiful. It is really unforgettable .”

Chang Xi secretly sighed in his heart and said: Father Xiao Yu's flattery has started again!

Zhang Jiuling, a member of Zhongshushe, said: "I have heard that the peony has a strong backbone. On that day, Empress Tian ordered a hundred flowers to bloom when she was drunk. All the flowers bloomed overnight. Only this flower king peony is clean and noble. If she refused to obey the order, Empress Tian was furious. All the peonies in the palace were burned, and the remaining peonies in Chang'an were also demoted to Luoyang, people should be like flowers, they must not be arrogant, but they must not be without pride." As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Xiao Qing.

Master Xiao Qing drank as usual and did not speak.When everyone thinks about this stunning flower king being demoted, they will all sigh in embarrassment.

Li Ye took a few sips of wine, looked at Chang Xi drunkenly and said, "What a pity! What a pity!"

Seeing Li Ye repeatedly sighing, Zhang Shuo said, "Your Highness Xue Wang doesn't have to be like this! Although this peony was burned once, isn't it still blooming fragrantly in this Fanglin Garden, delighting all guests? I think it's all thanks to His Majesty!" As he spoke, he picked up the jug on the case, filled a cup, and led the officials to present Li Longji.

As soon as Chang Xi heard Zhang Shuo talking with Xiao Yu's father, his whole body turned cold. They are really a 'golden partner', one flatters Concubine Li fiercely, and the other praises His Majesty's wisdom, what a couple.... . 'good pal'.

　The ultimate PK between Concubine Li and the Queen, let's see the result!
