The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 305

A few months later, it was the big day to see the queen on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. During this period, the queen coaxed Li Longji into her palace many times because Chang Xi was pregnant and couldn't sleep. Although Li Longji was reluctant, but She is the queen anyway, she needs to take care of her face, so she went there a few times.

Seeing this, the queen became more and more happy, and used all kinds of methods. For a while, there were silk pipes in the Kunde Palace, the sound of music entered the clouds, the long sleeves were good at dancing, and the colorful colors made people dazzled. The grand momentum made the remaining concubines speechless. Discussing this matter in the bedroom all day long, some said that the empress was good at taking advantage of the opportunity, taking advantage of Concubine Wu Hui's pregnancy and unable to serve, she carefully planned to win favor; , What a mistake!But when everyone was discussing, they were all waiting for the Jiaofangdian to show off his power and watch a great show of seizing the throne, but unexpectedly the Concubine Hui of Jiaofangdian did not move, which made everyone very disappointed.

This year, the spring in Chang’an City came very early. Just after the stinging of insects, everything revived, especially after a spring rain, the branches of the yellow and green leaves of the weeping willow were stretched, and the quiet and flowing clear canal was wrinkled. The concubines saw the light of spring Great, I often take the princes and concubines out to enjoy the flowers. The flowers are delicate and fragrant, attracting butterflies.

There are also many rare flowers in the Kunde Hall, such as the red Jinxi, the pink peonies, and the white roses. Blooming in full bloom, bursts of refreshing flower fragrance attracted many concubines to point out and praise.

The empress rarely wears a formal court attire. The upper body is a dark red gold thread embroidered cloud pattern Sichuan gauze phoenix robe, and the bottom is matched with a phoenix pattern brocade palace skirt. She wears a half-knife bun and carries a complete set of twelve phoenix gold hairpins. , wearing a dark red cloak, on a white and tender arm like a lotus root, the gilded water-rippled jade bracelets make a crisp sound when they touch each other.

Guo Shunyi still sat on the empress's hand, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty looks younger today, and it reminds me of the time when Your Majesty just came to the throne, and you were crowned Empress!"

When the other concubines heard what Guo Shunyi said, they all laughed and agreed.

Chang Xi sat on the rightmost seat below the empress, waving the palace fan and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty is indeed much younger, and she looks like a young lady."

The queen felt somewhat unnatural when she heard this, so she pretended to be carelessly rubbing Yu Ruyi in her hand, lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly: "You are younger than Concubine Hui, and she is as beautiful as a flower all day long. Not only Your Majesty, but I am also pleasing to the eye."

Chang Xi said with a smile on his face, "If you want to say that you are as beautiful as spring flowers, how can I compare with the younger sisters present here! They are young and young, and I am already old!" Then, looking around, she pretended to be surprised and said: "Why don't you see Dong Fangyi alone? Could it be that Fangyi's younger sister is ill?"

Chen Cairen hurriedly got up from the corner and replied: "Fangyi caught a cold a few days ago, so she was unable to come to see the empress this morning, please forgive me!"

The queen waved her hand, and said calmly: "It's okay! After saying that, she coughed lightly, and said seriously: "I have not been old for a long time, and my sisters greet you. With such a big fanfare today, I just want to tell you a few things! "

"Empress, please order!" Everyone bowed.

The queen said loudly: "Since Concubine Li and Yun Cairen were bestowed to death by His Majesty, Huangfu Xianyi has also gone crazy in the cold palace..." When everyone heard this sentence, they couldn't help shivering.

"I would like to warn all my sisters to be humble and gentle in dealing with others, and you must not be domineering and domineering. You must know that the women in the sixth palace are like flowers in spring. Although they will inevitably wither secretly, this batch of blooming and defeating has its own reasons. The other batch is fragrant and beautiful, no matter how delicate and beautiful you are, you can't match this season, you must know that flowers are not perfect for a hundred days, you have to leave a way for yourself!" The queen glanced at Chang Xi intentionally or unintentionally.

Yu Zhaorong smiled and said: "No matter how delicate and beautiful the flowers are, they are still no match for the phoenix standing proudly on the branches!"

The queen was overjoyed when she heard this, nodded her head and said: "In the past, there was someone who desperately wanted to compete with Fenghuang, but it's still not a defeat, all sisters, be careful!"

After hearing this, everyone was silent, everyone saw how beautiful Concubine Li was that day, not only she was favored, but her only son was also made the crown prince, it is true that she can rival the queen, but it is only a matter of time It is really embarrassing that the empress said these words to warn Concubine Hui?Anyone who competes with her will have no good results!Thinking of this, Chang Xi once again became the focus of everyone's attention.

Chang Xi picked up the green tea on the table, took a sip, and replied flatly, "The concubine would like to follow the teachings of the empress."

The queen was very satisfied with Chang Xi's attitude, so she asked a few questions about the fetus in her womb. When the concubines talked about the child, they became enthusiastic. Those who have children will inevitably boast, and those who have no children will inevitably envy , After the quarrel, the queen said: "Speaking of this, I have something to discuss with you sisters."

When everyone heard what the queen said, they immediately became solemn.

The Queen said: "The royal family is most concerned about the prosperity of their descendants. Your Majesty is in his prime, but the concubine of the Sixth Palace is overhanging, and he went to Concubine Li and others. Concubine Mei and Dong Fangyi are ill again. It is time to choose beautiful women for Your Majesty! This year It's another three-year general election, and I want to arrange a grand concubine selection ceremony for His Majesty on the Shangsi Festival, what do you think, sisters?"

After everyone listened, they echoed a few words on the surface, but they sighed secretly in their hearts. If they entered another group of beauties, they might not be able to see His Majesty even more. For a while, the happy atmosphere in Kunde Palace dissipated a lot.

Chang Xi understands that this is the Queen's intention to cultivate her own power to deal with her again. After the death of Yun Cairen, Yu Zhaorong and Guo Shunyi are old again, and she has no capable people around her, so she needs to choose chess pieces again for her own use.

Mei'er sneered and said, "Why does the empress need to ask everyone's opinions, you are the master of the first palace, you can do as you see fit, and besides, didn't my uncle help your Majesty find a new favorite among the family members in Chang'an City last month?"

After hearing this, the queen blushed slightly, a little embarrassed.Her elder brother, Wang Shouyi, used the name of choosing concubines for Li Longji to amass money in Chang'an City and robbed the women of the people, which has already aroused public anger. Sue him.

These news were all found out by Li Linfu and passed on to Chang Xi secretly. Meier said it directly, which really embarrassed the queen.

The queen covered this up with a cough, and hurriedly said: "Let's discuss how to choose a concubine for Your Majesty! Is the examination center based on virtue or talent!"

Chen Cairen said: "The concubine should not talk too much because of her humble status, but the concubine believes that the choice of concubine should be based on virtue and talent as a supplement, otherwise a concubine like Li who has no talent but lacks virtue will be selected. , After all, it shames the royal family!"

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this, and the queen also smiled and said: "Chen Cairen is right, he is very ladylike, so I followed your opinion, and the other sisters also said, what do you think! There is also Shang Si How should the venue of the festival be arranged? Don’t let Ben Gong talk about it alone, it’s better for everyone to express their opinions!”

Only then did everyone get excited, Chang Xi smiled indifferently and ignored it, what she was most concerned about and most worried about was today's court meeting in the Hanyuan Hall, and this general election, whether Concubine Yang Gui would appear!
