The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 43

Mei'er heard Li Ye talking about herself, she got up quickly and said, "I was praised by King Xue, I should have danced, but I feel unwell, please forgive me!"

Li Longji looked at Mei'er, and said softly, "What's uncomfortable?"

Mei'er blushed, thinking to herself that since the last time I broke the melon, although it has been a month, but the lower body still feels pain, how can I dance?I couldn't explain these reasons, so I had to say: "It's nothing! I'm just a little dizzy!"

Li Ye said with a smile: "In this way, Wu Xianyi won't be forced!"

Feng Lumei smiled and said: "Since both Sanlang and Fifth Brother have the intention of watching the dance, it's better to be a courtier and concubine to make a fool of yourself!"

Wang Meiren said: "I have heard that Meier and Sister Fenglu are both outstanding dancers. Sister Meier is not feeling well today. It is really good to see Sister Fenglu's peerless dance!"

Seeing this, King Qi also applauded, expressing his expectation for Fenglu's new dance.

Feng Lu said a few words modestly with a smile, took Meier's hand, and said with a smile, "Sister Xianyi, why don't you accompany my sister to choose dance clothes!"

Mei'er replied, "Very good!"

The queen also said: "It happens that you are dizzy, it is good to go out and walk with Fenglu!"

Feng Lu smiled, took Mei Er's hand and walked towards the inner hall very affectionately.

Seeing this, Chang Xi felt weird in her heart, but she couldn't explain why it was so strange, so she winked at Ningwei, the maid in charge of Mei'er, and Ningwei understood, and followed the second daughter out of Huae Tower!
After a while, neither of them came back. Everyone waited a little anxiously. The door creaked open, but Gao Lishi walked in through the side door with his head down, and returned to Li Longji's side.

Li Longji whispered: "Sent Ying'er back?"

Gao Lishi said: "Prince Ying has already gone to bed. When the old slave came back, he saw Zhao Cairen kneeling outside the Huae Building!"

"Oh! There is such a thing?" Li Longji said in surprise.

The queen was close, she could hear clearly, and followed Li Longji's words: "Zhao Cairen is outside the hall now?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall heard it, and all looked at the empress according to the prestige.

Gao Lishi bowed his body and said in a loud voice: "Yes! When the old servant came back to return to his command, he saw the talented man kneeling outside the hall, motionless!"

"Open the door!" Li Longji said with a raised eyebrow.

The door of the Huae Building was slowly pushed open by the servants. Zhao Cairen was wearing a thin white dress without a cloak, lightly applied makeup powder, and thousands of strands of blue silk were tied on the right side, kneeling in the snow. , with snowflakes floating on his body and head.

"The concubine sees Your Majesty!" Zhao Cairen nodded his head to the ground, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were full of crystal water vapor, and he looked at Li Longji full of longing.

Li Longji looked at the crystal clear world outside the hall, and remained silent for a long time.

Zhao Cairen smiled sadly, stood up, and quietly said: "The concubine resigns!"

"Eh!" Seeing Zhao Cairen appearing, Chang Xi knew that she was going to return her favor, but she actually wanted to go back without doing anything?

Everyone was also quite surprised.

Li Longji said, "Where are you going?"

Zhao Cairen wept and said: "The concubine is wearing the body of a sin, and being able to see His Majesty, I am already satisfied, I dare not have extravagant hopes, so I will go back to Qiu Shuangzhai and think about it!"

Li Longji's eyes flickered, and everyone looked at him to see what he would do. After a long time, he said: "Lishi, it's cold outside the palace, help Zhao Cairen into the palace."

"No!" Gao Lishi Shi Shi stepped down from the throne and helped Zhao Cairen outside the hall to come in.

"Give wine!" Li Longji said.

Zhao Cairen tremblingly held the wine glass handed over by Gao Lishi in his hand, with a few drops of tears dripping into the wine, he said in a trembling voice: "My concubine, thank Your Majesty for giving me the wine!"

Li Longji saw that she was wearing thin clothes, her little face was flushed from the cold, and her jade hands were trembling non-stop because of the cold or excitement. He couldn't bear it, and most of his usual hatred of her disappeared.

When Concubine Hua saw that Li Longji really let her into the palace, she was quite upset in her heart, and said: "Although my sister made a mistake and was demoted, she is still a talented person. How did she get reduced to the point where she doesn't even have winter clothes?"

The Empress frowned slightly, and said in a voice: "Yes, Zhao Cairen, didn't I ask Meiren Wang to go to the Fashion Bureau to choose clothes for you a few days ago! Why are you wearing such shabby clothes? You don't have to throw them away. Royal face!"

Zhao Cairen lost the arrogance and domineering of the past, bowed to the queen, and said respectfully: "The empress's grace, the concubine has already received it, but the concubine used to be domineering because she didn't know right from wrong, good and evil, so the concubine The concubine makes a vow, and regrets that she does not have enough food and warm clothes every day."

Concubine Hua snorted, and said coldly: "Sister really has a heart!"

Li Longji saw that Zhao Cairen was too thin to grasp, and said slowly: "It's right to think about your mistakes, but you shouldn't ruin your body. Don't do these two things in the future!"

After Zhao Cairen heard this, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern!"

Chang Xi looked at the respectful and polite Zhao Cairen on the ground, as if seeing another person!Where is her arrogance in the past.... .Is she really reborn?
Zhao Cairen swayed slightly, and said softly: "The concubine is guilty and dare not stay longer. Before returning to Qiushuangzhai, I want to dance for your majesty one last time. I wonder if your majesty will agree?"

Seeing what Zhao Cairen said, Guo Shunyi was afraid that she would be favored again, so she hurriedly said: "Sister Xianyi and Sister Zhaorong have gone down to change their dance clothes and are ready to dance!"

Zhao Cairen burst into tears and said: "That's it! The concubine is resigning!"

Seeing her lonely figure, Li Longji couldn't bear it, and said softly: "Since you have such a heart, dance for me! Besides, they are still changing clothes!"

Beauty Wang rushed to Zhaorong and said, "Sister, please play "Shangxie" by Han Yuefu."

Yu Zhaorong looked embarrassed, looked at the queen, the queen said indifferently: "Since Wang Meiren said so, please ask sister Zhaorong to play a song!"

Yu Zhaorong had no choice but to sit down and press the strings with his virtual fingers, and the beautiful melody was released on his fingertips.

Zhao Cairen heard the sound and danced, the white long skirt sometimes weakened and sometimes clanged with the music, and his jade teeth lifted lightly, revealing the infinite lovesickness of "Shangxie, I want to know each other with you, and I will live forever".

The queen looked at Concubine Hua, Guo Shunyi and others, and then at Chang Xi behind her, and said in a low voice, "What's new about her dance?"

Chang Xi shook her head, looking at Zhao Cairen's extremely mediocre dance, she couldn't help becoming suspicious, wondering what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

Concubine Hua and Guo Shunyi looked at Zhao Cairen's ordinary dancing posture, and they were secretly relieved. They expected that if she wanted to use this dance to regain her favor, it would be more difficult than reaching the sky.

Li Ye looked at Zhao Cairen's dancing posture, and then thought about her sword dance in Huae Tower that day, and sighed that Jiang's talent was exhausted.

When it came to Li Longji, seeing her infatuation, he didn't care much about whether her dancing posture was good or not.

Everyone was bored watching and kept silent.

"Ah!!" With a scream, Zhao Cairen swayed and fell on the red carpet in the middle of Huae Building. Everyone was startled by this sudden change.
