The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 42
In a few days, the end of the new year is approaching. In order to please Li Longji, the empress did not use the servants of the Shang Palace Bureau for the family banquet of Huaelou, but Chang Xi led the people of Kunde Hall to clean and arrange the Huaelou again. , and deliberately added some things, and the novelty and special arrangement just stopped.

This month, Li Longji often stayed at Mei'er and Fenglu's place. Seeing that the two daughters were equally divided, Huangfu Deyi no longer favored him exclusively, and the queen and Chang Xi felt relieved.Mei'er adored Li Longji wholeheartedly, and was overjoyed to receive his love and sympathy in every possible way.

This evening, everyone gathered in Huae Building to see off the new year, it was so lively!
Li Longji was sitting on the table in the middle, the queen took the warm wine from Gao Lishi, put her hands under his body, and said softly: "It's snowing today, San Lang, let's drink a glass of wine to warm up!"

"Your Honor is here!" Li Longji took the rice wine and drank it down.

King Ning said with a smile: "The years go by so fast! I still remember the scene of watching the snow with His Majesty at the Xinxin Pavilion. Ten years have passed in a flash!"

Li Longji said with emotion: "What the elder brother said is true!"

Xue Wang Li Ye raised his glass and said, "Brother, don't say those spoiling things. Today is a good banquet, and the joy is hard to describe. Come! Let's have a drink!"

King Qi also raised his glass and said, "Fifth brother is right, come on, third brother, I respect you!"

Speaking of which, the four brothers came to a realization.

Concubine Hua said with a smile: "Drinking today is a must without singing and dancing. We are all relatives here, so stop talking about nonsense! Why don't you ask Sister Deyi and Sister Xianyi to do a dance for us!"

Li Longji looked at the two concubines, smiled and said, "That's fine!"

Mei'er and Fenglu just wanted to bow their heads and be humble, but they heard the servant outside the door yelling: "Prince Ying, you can't go in..."

"I'm going to find my father, why can't I go in!" A childish voice echoed outside the hall.

The servant said anxiously: "You can't just break in without His Majesty's order!"

The child yelled anxiously: "I'm going in! I want to see my father, woohoo!"

"Who is making noise outside the door! Is it Yinger!" Li Longji put down his wine glass and ordered, "Open the door!"

The servant listened to Li Longji's order and opened the door of the palace. Outside the door stood a little child in the snow, with black hair covered with white snow, and a pair of bright eyes rolling around.

Li Longji saw that he had come to Huae Tower by himself, and the nanny and servants were not around, he frowned slightly, and said: "Ying'er, come here!"

"Father!" Prince Ying trotted all the way, got on the throne, embraced Li Longji with open arms, and rubbed against Li Longji with a pretty face.

The queen said: "Where did Ying'er go to be naughty, she made her whole body dirty!"

Prince Ying heard the queen's reprimand and said in a low voice: "No, I just fell when I came to look for my father!"

Li Longji took the handkerchief from Chang Xi, wiped Prince Ying's pretty face, and said slightly reproachfully: "It's so late, why don't you bring your slaves when you go out, what if it breaks!"

Prince Ying rubbed his eyes with his small hands, and cried: "I miss my father, they won't let my son come! Father doesn't want my son anymore!"

After hearing this, Li Longji remembered that in the past six months, he had angered Prince Ying because of Concubine Li's affairs, and indeed he hadn't checked his homework for a long time. Seeing Aizi standing in front of him so miserable, he felt quite self-blame in his heart, hug Looking at him, he said softly: "Who said the father doesn't want you anymore!"

Wang Mei said: "I saw Prince Ying crying behind the rockery that day. I don't know why?"

"What! Is there such a thing!" Li Longji's face turned cold.

Seeing that Li Longji was sullen, Prince Ying held Li Longji's skirt with a pair of small hands, lowered his head and dared not speak.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Dare to do something bad!"

Prince Ying blushed and said loudly: "Uncle Wuhuang is talking nonsense! Ying'er did nothing wrong!"

Wang Meiren smiled and said: "Then why did Yinger wipe away tears?"

Li Longji and everyone were very curious, and waited quietly for Li Ying to answer. Li Ying rubbed the corner of her clothes and said in a low voice: "My son... I miss my mother and concubine!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall fell silent.

Li Longji let go of Li Ying's hand, pursed his lips and did not speak.The queen hurriedly took Li Ying into her arms, and said with a smile, "Why does Ying'er insist on being accompanied by the concubine? Can't the queen mother play with Ying'er? And sister Chang Xi, she is the smartest, there must be many interesting things To Yinger!"

"Really!" Li Ying blinked her big black eyes, slipped in front of Chang Xi, and said in a childish voice: "The queen mother said that you have a lot of interesting things, how about showing them to the prince?"

"Hey!" Chang Xi squatted down and said with a smile, "I have a lot of stuff for this servant! But if Prince Ying is obedient tonight, this servant will give it to you tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Li Ying clapped her hands and said with a smile, "This way I won't have to play with those boring maids every day!"

"Do you stay with them every day!" Li Longji looked at Li Ying and slowly uttered these words.

Li Ying was a little angry when he heard his father's tone, so he didn't dare to speak, and subconsciously slipped into Chang Xi's arms.

Feng Lu said softly: "Quickly answer your father's words!"

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Li Ying's forehead, and he said in a mosquito voice, "Cong and Lin don't want to play with me, so I can only find those servants!"

"There are such things!" Li Longji was really sullen this time.

The princes Li Cong and Li Lin are the sons of Concubine Hua and Guo Shunyi respectively. Seeing that His Majesty was angry because of this, the two daughters secretly sweated for themselves.

But Li Longji asked, "Why don't they play with you?"

Li Ying lowered her head and said: "They said that concubine mother is not good, so they don't play with me!"

"Bastard!" Li Longji said angrily, "Your concubine is your concubine, and you are you! Don't brothers even have this kind of friendship!"

Concubine Hua and Guo Shunyi were sweating coldly when they heard this, and they both bowed their bodies and said: "The concubine is guilty of failing to teach the prince well, which makes His Majesty worry!"

"Hmph!" Li Longji said through his nose, "I don't think you didn't teach, but you taught it very well!"

After hearing this, Concubine Hua and Guo Shunyi hurried out from behind the case, knelt on the ground and said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Li Longji waved his hand and said: "Tonight is the New Year's Eve, I am too lazy to argue with you!"

Concubine Hua and Guo Shunyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to the case.

The queen looked at Li Ying with some embarrassment, and forced a smile: "If something like this happens to Ying'er in the future, come and tell the queen mother, the queen mother will decide with you!"

"En!" Li Ying nodded, but her eyes were still on Chang Xi, looking forward to the gadget she gave her tomorrow.

Li Longji looked at the queen and said calmly: "Although they are not biological, they are also Qing's children. I hope the queen will treat them equally."

"Remember, concubine!" The queen bowed in embarrassment and agreed.

Xue Wang and Li Ye said: "Third brother, my sister-in-law leads Liugong toil every day. It is normal that some trivial matters are not taken care of. Don't be disappointed by these trivial matters!"

King Ning also said: "That's it! It's rare for the four of us to gather together, so we should be happy!"

Li Longji nodded slowly, turned to Gao Lishi and said: "Take Prince Ying back, blame the maids and servants in charge of his bedroom, and tell them that if you dare to make Prince Ying so miserable, I will make them miserable ten thousand times! "

"No!" Gao Lishi took Li Ying's little hand and walked out from the side door. Li Ying looked back at Chang Xi reluctantly, remembering her playthings. She raised her hand and signaled that she would play with it tomorrow, and then Li Ying and Gao Lishi happily left Huae Building.

Seeing the embarrassment in the atmosphere, Yu Zhaorong said softly: "Your Majesty, since my concubine recovered, you haven't heard my concubine play the piano yet! Why don't you let my concubine play a piece of "Guan Shanyue" to cheer your majesty up!"

"Okay!" Li Longji raised his glass and took a sip, smiling.

The servants brought the piano table and played the piano on Yu Zhaorong's wind. Yu Zhaorong lifted up his skirt and sat on the piano bench, trying to press the notes with his fingers.

King Ning said: "Last time I listened to Zhong Meiren's pipa, and this time I was lucky enough to hear Yu Zhaorong's Guqin. It can be seen that the third younger brother is surrounded by these versatile Liang Di."

The corners of Li Ye's mouth turned up, and he said with a smile: "Hey, isn't that right! I have heard that the newly appointed Wu Xianyi has superb dancing skills outside the palace!"

Chang Xi listened to him, stuck out her tongue secretly, and said to herself: Fortunately, Meier married His Majesty, otherwise you little pervert would be tempted again!
