Somewhat surprised by Leng Changxi's sudden inquiry, Zhao Yuan raised his eyebrows with a bit of joy, thinking that she finally started to care about him. He pondered for a long time before telling the truth: "Father has some feelings for me now."
Things have changed, and some influential ministers in the court have gradually begun to speak for me. It’s just..."
He frowned and looked at Leng Changxi carefully.
Leng Changxi responded calmly: "Just what?"
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yuan chose some words and said lightly: "Yesterday at the banquet, foreigners paid tribute to twenty beauties. According to previous years, these women would be favored by the father. But for some reason, this year the father did not
Uncharacteristically, he gave these women to me and Zhao Yu, ten of them each."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sneer appeared on Leng Changxi's lips. When Zhao Yuan saw it, he immediately broke into a cold sweat and regretted why he told Leng Changxi about this. So, he immediately faced Leng Changxi and swore: "But, little one
Bao'er, don't worry, although the emperor's orders are hard to disobey and I can only accept those women, I will never touch a hair of theirs!"
Hearing this, Leng Changxi looked at Zhao Yuan with raised eyebrows. She saw a sincere look on his face, but also a bit of fear. She suddenly felt that he was so pitiful. In fact, he didn't have to be like this. Since it was for the sake of the country, it was better to make peace with him.
Are you going to be so selfish all the time? Why bother to come to her again and show such an affectionate look of bitterness and hatred?
Since ancient times, emperors have been romantic, doesn't he know? Even if he can swear casually now, how can he maintain his single-mindedness for the rest of his life? A man's words cannot be trusted, especially a successful man.
However, Leng Changxi did not say these words. What she blurted out was something else: "Of course you can't touch a hair of theirs."
There was a flash of light in her eyes, and Zhao Yuan was mesmerized. He mistakenly thought that the woman was jealous. Just when she was about to feel happy, she heard Leng Changxi analyze calmly with an indifferent tone: "
Because they are all used by the emperor to test you and Zhao Yu."
"How do you say this?" After hearing what she said, Zhao Yuan was a little disappointed, but he immediately became serious. After all, fighting in the palace is like walking on thin ice!
"Now, the emperor has no hope of having a son, and due to the pressure from the court, he is hesitating between you and Zhao Yu as to who can be the crown prince." Leng Changxi said, pinching a longan in her hand and playing with it, her eyebrows tightening.
He said in a low voice, with no visible emotion: "As you said, the Emperor is partial to you, but Queen Mother Wei is partial to Zhao Yu. The choice of a king is not a child's play, even a mediocre king knows that the successor to be chosen should be
Both talented and virtuous. Therefore, he used these women to test whether you two are just addicted to women and have forgotten who you are."
When Zhao Yuan heard this, he was inspired. If he had doubts about Gaozong's behavior before, then it was completely clear now that he was indeed spying! Fortunately, he didn't even glance at those women. Fortunately, he was able to get
Tips from Leng Changxi!
How could such a smart woman let him go?
Regarding this topic, neither of them continued to chat in depth, but simply talked a few words. Even so, Zhao Yuan was already satisfied.
At this moment, Xiaokouzi's voice came from outside the house: "Master Qi Yuan, the emperor has sent someone to announce you."
Hearing this, Zhao Yuan paused slightly, and finally glanced at Leng Changxi reluctantly, sighed silently, and walked out of the small bamboo house with three steps.
When Zhao Yuan's footsteps walked away, Leng Changxi slowly sat up from the couch, called Lingshan, pointed to the dots given by the emperor on the table and said: "Lingshan, please tidy up the things on the table again.
, let’s go and pay New Year’s greetings to Guo Wanrou!”
Hearing this, Lingshan was stunned for a moment, a little confused as to what Leng Changxi meant: "Miss, why should we go to pay Guo Wanrou New Year's greetings?"
Lingshan had not liked that woman since he was a child. Ever since Leng Changxi told her his innermost suspicion, he had hated her to the core. But now, suddenly hearing that his young lady was going to pay New Year's greetings, Lingshan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
When Leng Changxi heard this, she curved her lips into a sly smile, with a bit of coldness, and said slowly: "Since I returned to Wende Hall, I haven't gone to greet her properly. This is the first day of the new year.
It's a good time to pay a visit, isn't it?"
When Leng Changxi said this, Lingshan became even more confused: "But Guo Wanrou is obviously not a good person, why should I go to her to pay New Year's greetings! If I want to pay her New Year's greetings, she should come over!"
Leng Changxi looked at Lingshan, the smile on her lips deepened, and she said word by word: "Lingshan, never show your resentment towards your enemies, because only by becoming friends can you have the opportunity to stab him in the back!"
These principles are Leng Changxi's experience gained from more than 20 years of hard work in the dance industry in her previous life. She thought she would never use it again. She thought she had found a good man and could live in peace for the rest of her life. Who would have thought that the sword would still be useful?
You want to see blood!
Lingshan suddenly understood something, and suddenly felt unfamiliar with Leng Changxi in front of her. The look of hatred in her smile made her feel heartbroken.
"But, miss, with Guo Wanrou's temperament, she will never let down her guard against you and become friends. Even if we go, we will be asking for humiliation!" In Lingshan's thoughts, if Leng Changxi's advice is followed
She said that they wanted to show weakness this time, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. Thinking of Guo Wanrou's proud face, she had the urge to tear it apart.
"It's good to be able to let go of your guard, but it doesn't matter even if you can't let go." Leng Changxi smiled charmingly, got up and tidied up in the mirror, and asked Lingshan to pick out some very luxurious jewelry to wear.
The jewelry was given by Zhao Yuan, and she usually didn't even look at it, but now, she used all of it.
While Lingshan was dressing her up, he asked, "Then wouldn't it be pointless for us to go like this?"
"How could it be meaningless?" Leng Changxi looked at the vaguely beautiful figure in the bronze mirror with satisfaction. Sure enough, people have to dress up!
"Lingshan." Leng Changxi stood up and walked to the door. She turned around and looked at Lingshan and said, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. What an auspicious day! But what if on such an auspicious day, I meet someone I have always hated?
, you say, is it bad luck? It is impossible for her to let down her guard, but we can make it difficult for her! "
After saying that, Leng Changxi walked out of the hut calmly. Lingshan looked at her back and suddenly understood what she meant. She immediately happily carried the food box full of dots rewarded by the emperor and followed her.
Leng Changxi emerged from the bamboo forest behind her.
