Chapter 016 Princess Zhao Er of Xiliang, with a handsome photo of Zhao Er
After the eunuch left, the young emperor put the note in his hand, pinched his eyebrows with simple fingers, and a faint feeling of fatigue on his handsome face.
He stood up and walked out of Yuanyi Hall. When the eunuchs and palace maids guarding outside the hall saw him, they all bowed down and bowed to salute.
He had no expression on his face and walked forward, with a huge crowd behind him following a large group of people.
Yuhe Palace.
This place was originally the bedroom with the concubine. After she was framed by the queen and was sentenced to an affair with someone and was ordered to die, the place was naturally abandoned.
Now, after King Dingtao ascended the throne, he ordered people to renovate the Yuhe Palace, which was even a hundred times more luxurious than the bedroom where the queen lived before.
He ordered people to wait outside the hall and walked in alone.
Although the hall is decorated with a wide variety of rare treasures, it is empty after all, giving people an infinite sense of desolation.
When he walked to Hefei's spiritual throne, the young emperor knelt down and looked at his mother's tablet. He smiled slightly. With this smile, his originally handsome facial features looked even more handsome and dazzling.
"Mother, I will marry my wife tomorrow. Today I will come to tell my mother. My son likes her very much. After she gets married to me, my son will bring her to pay tribute to my mother."
He smiled with a smile on his lips and quietly finished this passage. However, in his mind, he remembered that when he was young, his mother, who was like a fairy, had held her on her knees. Her voice was soft and beautiful, like fairy music.
She said, child, you have to promise your mother that when you grow up, you must marry a woman you like as your wife, okay?
OK.......
Recalling the past, a faint desolation floated on his face, and a bitter smile appeared in his black pupils. He kowtowed three respectfully to the spiritual position, and then turned around and came out.
It would be bad to marry a woman he likes as his wife, but he had already lost this opportunity.
When he walked outside Yuhe Palace, he couldn't help but think of that night in his mind. Leng Yue Rushuang, outlining everything very clearly. He was in the dark and came here to pay tribute to his mother alone. Suddenly, a sound of footsteps sounded. His faint look back under the bright moon was a shocking glance, and he could never forget it again.
All the scenery outside the palace was still the same, but the woman with picturesque eyebrows and clear eyes was no longer visible.
He stood there for a long time until the eunuch had to step forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty Li sent a palace servant just now and said that he had cooked your favorite dish tonight. Please move to Lijingxuan to talk to you."
Hearing this, the man's young face still had an extremely calm expression. He withdrew his thoughts, nodded slightly, and said, "Let's go."
Lijingxuan.
When Concubine Li learned the news, she was already dressed in gorgeous clothes and led the palace people to stand in front of Lijingxuan to prepare to pick her up.
When she saw the tall figure coming from afar, she felt happy and led everyone down.
"I'm here to see the emperor." She lowered her head slightly, deliberately exposing her extremely beautiful jaw, which was slender and small in front of the man.
The man didn't say much, but stretched out his arms and helped her up. Concubine Li had been with him for many years. When he was the King of Dingtao, she had been with him. Now that he has inherited the Grand Priest, he has named her the third-rank noble concubine.
The rest of the dancers and singers in the palace were all dispersed except Li Ji. Now, in a huge palace, there is only one concubine, Guipin Li.
From time to time, ministers proposed the excerpts, intending to fill the harem for him. But unexpectedly, the originally mean and most romantic King Dingtao refused, saying that he had just ascended the throne, and the Great Zhou started a war with Dahe not long ago and the national treasury was empty, so it was really not appropriate to expand the harem at this time.
This matter spread and spoke. Those ministers who had thought that King Dingtao was just a romantic and lustful person and could not take the responsibility were all looking at each other and were secretly shocked.
Ascending the throne is only more than a year. It reduces taxes, stabilizes people's hearts, emphasizes agriculture, promotes trade, cures floods, and punishes corrupt officials. Everything is a way to applaud the people of the world.
A few months ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty sent envoys to Xiliang to marry the Princess of Xiliang in the name of the emperor.
The Great Zhou Dynasty's wars and chaos caused the people to live in vain. Only by forming the Qin and Jin dynasties with Xiliang was enough to shock the border and make Japan, India, and Turkic countries dare not re-invade.
Of course, when Princess Xiliang married, she was not a concubine or a concubine. She moved directly into the central palace, which was the queen.
"Your Majesty, these are your favorite dishes. I have stewed this slack pigeon on low heat for two hours." Li Guipin smiled cleverly, leaned against the young emperor, sat down, picked up ivory chopsticks with slim hands, and made dishes for the man beside him.
Looking at the pigeon, the man was stunned. He couldn't help but think of that night. He took the girl and the two of them sneaked into the imperial kitchen. Isn't it the pigeon that they ate?
Li Guipin could not hear his response, and her beautiful eyes looked like him. She was slightly shocked at this glance. She saw the man on the main seat with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and was sitting there in a daze.
Since she moved into the palace, she has seen him for a few days. Even if she saw him, she was completely different from when she was in the palace before. She hadn't seen such a smile for a long time.
"Emperor, Master?" she called out softly.
The man came to his senses and whispered, "There are too many things happening recently, but I have neglected you."
Concubine Li felt warm. She was the most favored concubine when she was in the palace. At that time, she was smart and dared to say anything even in front of him. But now, she only felt that the man in front of her was getting farther and farther away from her, making her even more cautious in speaking, and she would never dare to be as reckless as before.
"The emperor works hard for state affairs every day, and I don't have time to feel sorry for me, so how could I feel wronged?" These words were sincere.
The emperor smiled slightly, no longer talking, but just lifted his chopsticks and started eating.
Thinking of tomorrow, it was his wedding day, Concubine Li was both nervous and sour. For more than a year, she had only one concubine in the palace. Although the emperor had never come to her Lijingxuan often, she couldn't help but feel the illusion that the emperor belonged only to her. Tomorrow, his queen would enter the central palace. At that time, will she still have her own place in this huge palace?
"What's wrong?" Perhaps seeing her look strange, the man's voice sounded faintly.
"I am afraid that the emperor will be displeased." Li Ji's voice was as charming as ever, like a good silk, soft and soft.
"Do you know why you were the only one who came to the palace?" The man's eyes were bright, and under the candlelight, the young face had a very handsome outline.
"I don't know." Li Ji answered truthfully.
"It's because you speak frankly and without any hesitation, and I am most tired of those women who pretend to be hypocritical."
When Li Ji heard this, she was stunned at first, and then a bitterness surged in her heart. She looked at the man in front of her and said softly, "I rarely see Tianyan now. Whenever I see the emperor, I always focus on how to please the emperor. It has not been like before, as I did before."
When the man saw her confess, a warm feeling flashed across his eyes. He looked at her and said, "You have been with me for many years. Even if Princess Xiliang enters the palace tomorrow, you will still be the lonely concubine. No matter when you arrive, you will have your place in this palace."
When Concubine Li heard this, she was naturally very happy. Seeing that he finished eating, she couldn't help but say hopefully, "It's getting late, why not stay in Lijingxuan tonight, so how about accompanying me?"
The man refused to comment. Concubine Li thought he had agreed, and immediately smiled like a flower. She was about to stand up and give orders, but her arm was held by the man.
"Emperor?" She lost her voice.
"There are still some notes in Yuanyi Palace that have not been finished, so you can rest first." After the young emperor finished speaking, he stood up and left Li Jingxuan without looking back.
The woman left behind looking at the tall figure and watching him go further and further away...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Outside the capital.
Inside the Xiliang camp tent.
"Princess, it's getting late. I'll serve you to rest early." A woman in green clothes walked in with a smile and said softly.
I saw a woman sitting in front of the dressing table. After hearing the maid's words, she turned around. Her voice was soft, with the shyness of her daughter's family, and she said slowly. "When I think of getting married tomorrow, I can't sleep."
"My good princess, it's been a long way all the way. Look at your little face, you're so thin that it's not as big as a person's palm. Hurry up and let the Emperor of Great Zhou take a good look tomorrow, how beautiful the princess of our Xiliang is."
"You will be polite." Princess Xiliang pursed her lips and smiled, her crescent-like eyes looked even more curved, adding a little bit of agility to the fair and jade-like face.
After a few words from the master and servant, the princess Xiliang sighed slightly and said again. "I remember that I will see the Emperor of Great Zhou tomorrow. I am always afraid of panic. If he doesn't like me, what should I do?"
When the maid in green clothes heard this, she squatted down gently and comforted her warmly, "The princess is the most beautiful woman in Xiliang, why would the Emperor of Great Zhou not like it?"
Princess Xiliang frowned slightly and said, "I once heard that when he was the King of Dingtao, there were many concubines in the mansion. I am afraid that he had seen all kinds of beauties."
