Liu Zhao got the news of Sui'er, and the stone in his heart was finally put down, so he concentrated on state affairs, and he hadn't spoiled the harem for a month. Empress Dowager Dou didn't know the key to this, but Song Jun came to her twice to talk about it, which attracted her attention. She asked the chamberlain Huang Men Ling to go to the court to take a look, and now Liu Zhao has only favored four of the twelve new favorites, which is beyond her expectations. I thought that this young man who tasted * for the first time would linger in the gentle land every day, but unexpectedly, he was so self-controlled. The most interesting thing is that Yin Li, who thought she was the most favored, was guarding the palace wall alone like other concubines at this time.

Empress Dowager Dou's plan was to set off some waves in this palace, so calm, how could it be her heart, so she set her eyes on a beauty named Li Xiao'e.

Li Xiao'e is the granddaughter of the former Da Honglu Li Chang, needless to say her family background, she heard that she was beautiful and erudite, and she was very talented, so she was called to meet her.

Since Li Xiao'e entered the palace, she has been guided by Aunt Xi, and she is looking forward to being summoned by the emperor, but unexpectedly, four months have passed, and in the blink of an eye, it is the first month, but the emperor seems to not know that she is a person, and there is no movement at all.

The emperor has crowned a total of three beauties, and the Yuan sisters have been favored by the emperor, leaving her alone who has suffered from the jokes and gossip of the palace people, depressed and distressed, and often sits in the room and sighs softly.

When he heard that the Empress Dowager Dou had summoned him, he was startled, hurriedly dressed up, and rushed to the Jiade Palace.

Empress Dowager Dou looked at Li Xiao'e, dressed in a purple and crimson embroidered gold dress, covered with soft yarn of the same color, with a golden hairpin on her jet-black bun, and the tassels of the pearl hairpin swayed with her movements.

A pair of beautiful eyes sparkled on the goose egg face, and the mouth was slightly larger. but the forehead is broad. Although it is not as delicate as the yin glass, it also has a different taste, and I feel sorry for it.

Before Empress Dowager Dou could speak, she laughed first, "Your name is Li Xiao'e, I know your grandfather, who is a good person." Although to be honest. But he is conscientious and will never make mistakes. Do you know how to dance? ”

Li Xiao'e lowered her head and said: "There are some concubines, and there are teachers in the mansion since I was a child." ”

"Oh! So what else would happen? Empress Dowager Dou took a sip*. Recently, because of the goal again, her health has miraculously improved.

"Concubines can play the flute." Li Xiao'e answered honestly, although she didn't know about state affairs at home, she also knew the name of the Empress Dowager Dou. There was always a little bit of fear.

"Oh, it's fine. If the emperor doesn't ask you to sleep tonight, you can ask for it yourself! Empress Dowager Dou still looked at Li Xiao'e with a smile, but Li E was at a loss when she heard this.

"Queen Mother, the concubines don't understand what the Queen Mother means." She asked tremblingly.

"What's not to understand about this! In this palace, the competition for favor between the concubines and the wives and concubines in the general mansion is actually the same in the final analysis. You have to fight, use all means to fight, don't take you to the death. Never give up. The queen's throne is empty, and now you all have this opportunity. It depends on who has the greatest ability, and in the end, let the emperor feel that you are the best. After all, you are all my daughters-in-law, and the palms and backs of your hands are the same. When the mourning family said this, they wanted to see who was the one who could finally replace the mourning family in charge of the harem. ”

"The concubine understands, but can the concubine see the emperor?" Li Xiao'e bit her lip and asked.

"Silly boy, if you can't see the emperor, you have to find a way, you kid is honest, do you know that the yin glass is clearly seducing the emperor. You are a year older than the emperor, if you want to come to these things, you don't need to mourn the family to teach you! Empress Dowager Dou stood up with a smile, came to Li Xiao'e, looked at her beautiful face and said: "What good skin, what young eyes, this is the capital, go, the mourning family is still waiting to hold a few more grandchildren!" ”

Li Xiao'e gave a salute and withdrew from the Jiade Palace, but her heart seemed to be tossed upside down, what method did she use? What are your own abilities? She heard that Yin Li seduced the emperor with means, and she was a hundred unconvinced, if she could meet the emperor herself, maybe the emperor's favorite now is herself.

The maid who carried her said: "Niangniang, I heard that Lord Cai next to the emperor has the most trust of the emperor, why don't we go and beg him, maybe he can help us!" ”

"You mean Cai Lun?"

"Yes, I heard that Cai Lun has been taking care of the emperor, and I have to listen to him in terms of daily life, since the queen mother said that Niangniang can go to the emperor by herself, we might as well find him!"

"It's okay, the emperor is now in the court, Cai Lun will inevitably follow, you send a close attendant to inquire, when will Cai Lun come out of the emperor?"

"Whoa!"

Li Xiao'e dressed herself up as beautiful as a fairy in front of the bronze mirror, and then stood up with a smile, Cai Lun was also worried that the emperor had not found someone to sleep with for a month, and felt that he had lost interest in the four concubines who had been served, and had promised to take her into the emperor's bedroom at night. But if there is no name to enter, I am afraid that the emperor will blame her, so let her find a reason and think of a way.

She had already thought that her flute was the most beautiful, so she would play a song "Out of Sorrow", as long as the emperor came to see her, it would be.

Cai Lun saw that she was coming, so he ordered someone to take her into the moon worship pavilion in front of the dormitory, the cold wind blew, she shivered slightly, the cloak of the fox fur collar covered her graceful figure, and her hands were a little cold.

She put the flute horizontally to her mouth, and immediately the melodious sound of the flute passed through the entire palace courtyard and floated into the dormitory.

The autumn wind is sorrowful and murderous, and it is also sad when it comes out and sad when it enters. Who is in this room, and who is not worried? It makes me white-headed. Hu Di is more windy, and the trees are repaired. As I move farther and farther away from home, my clothes are getting slower and slower. The mind cannot be spoken, and the wheel of the intestine turns.

Liu Zhao wore a bed robe, the room was warm, only a single coat was draped, and suddenly heard the sound of the flute, and his heart suddenly moved, remembering that day Sui'er was dancing in the flower forest with a piccolo, and he listened to it in a trance. But he felt the sadness of the flute, so he asked the inner holder to take the cloak and opened the door of the dormitory, but saw the moon in the distance, and a small figure stood alone, so he wrapped the cloak tightly and walked over.

Li Xiao'e heard the footsteps, turned around, and met a pair of eyes that were as unusual as black glass treasures, black paint, bottomless. I was stunned for a while, my heart rippled, and my body softened.

"Your Majesty. Concubine Li Xiao'e, do you remember me? She tucked her cold little hand into her sleeve, and she hid the flute behind her.

"Li Xiao'e? I remember that you were named a beauty, and it turns out that your flute sound is so beautiful. Liu Zhao looked at her little face that was red from the cold, and couldn't help but be moved. Then he took her cold little hand and said, "Go into the dormitory, it's warmer." What should I do if I freeze to death? ”

Entered the dormitory. The light is like a dream, and the room is warm. Liu Zhao took off his cloak and handed it to the chamberlain. I helped her take off her cloak again, and saw that she was only wearing a light blue thin shirt, and the well-bred* loomed, which had a different charm.

Li Xiao'e's chest rose and fell. was cramped and uneasy, but Liu Zhao liked her clumsy appearance very much. Reached out and pinched the golden jade phoenix hairpin on her head. With a gentle pull, the black head poured down like flowing water. Li Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up at him, she saw that his eyes were as deep as night. But her lips pressed against her forehead, and the warm heat slowly spread, dispelling her coldness.

"Your Majesty!" She whispered. was hugged by him, and his lips slowly fell. The corners of the eyes, the tip of the nose, the side of the lips.

Li Xiao'e only felt that her breath was unstable, and her face was already burning like fire.

The pale green tulle hung in layers, and the few red candles and incense lamps in the room were extinguished, but the wheezing sound in the room became thicker and thicker.

Liu Zhao was a personnel officer, although he was banned for a month because he learned the news of Sui'er, but he was provoked by Li Xiao'e*. Within half a month, all the concubines who entered the palace were pampered by him, but he still preferred to come to Yin Li, Song Jun and Li Xiao'e, of course, he still liked Yin Li the most, the reason is very simple, Yin Li is very similar to Sui'er.

Li Xiao'e was pregnant after three months of bedding, which made Liu Zhao overjoyed, and he was very happy to be a father for the first time, so he came to Li Xiao'e more.

"Your Majesty!" Li Xiao'e frowned slightly, and fell into Liu Zhao's arms.

"Well, what's the matter?" Liu Zhao asked while caressing her watery show.

"If Xiao'e gives birth to a dragon son, how can the emperor reward me?"

"If you are the son of the dragon, you will be my first son, of course, the crown prince, and I will promote you to a nobleman." Liu Zhao kissed her forehead and said.

"The emperor's words can be counted, you are the Son of Heaven, and you are a man of his word."

"Hehe, you little fool, this is natural, I will definitely count what I promise."

Li Xiao'e was full of joy, and since then she has been looking forward to the child growing up and giving birth soon, and she even began to fantasize about the day she became the queen.

The imperial doctor came to ask for peace every day, but Li Xiao'e was so happy that she vomited everything she ate, and she was so anxious that Liu Zhao came to visit every day. At this moment, Han Ling came to report that the case of Chunfeng Lou had been investigated.

It turned out that Chunfeng Tower was set up by the county lord of Jinsi, who secretly contacted some officials in the court, and wanted to take the opportunity to buy some officials and disrupt the court, which was the first plan. I heard that Liu Zhao had been looking for Sui'er, so he used the name of Sui'er to publicize it to the outside world, attracting Liu Zhao to come and wait for the opportunity to kill the king, which was the second plan. And 6 Chengfeng's father, 6 Ao, was one of the officials who were bribed.

Liu Zhao's expression was a little trance-like, could that handsome young man deliberately lead him there?

Han Ling saw Liu Zhao's thoughts and said: "Your Majesty, it is unknown whether 6 Chengfeng is a chess piece, but the minister has verified that nine officials are indeed closely related to Chunfeng Tower. Your Majesty, the minister means to verify the truth and kill it! ”

Liu Zhao shuddered, although he had ordered to kill some people, but he didn't want to kill people unless he had to. He suddenly remembered what Li Xia had said that day, "If I hadn't promised Miss not to kill again, the lives of these two people would be in front of me!" "Sui'er doesn't want to die! He was suddenly very interested in Li Xia, and said: "Han Ling, you help me to find out a person, this person's name is Li Xia, and now he is in the late Captain Deng Xun's Mansion, what did this person do before, I am very interested." ”

"Whoa! It's just that I don't know why the emperor wants to check this person. ”

"Nothing, I'm just interested in this man's past. Don't move those nine people first, find out the facts, I don't want to wronged the good people, and I don't want to miss the rest of the Dou family, if there is real evidence, I will issue a strict order. ”

"Whoa!" After Han Ling retreated, Liu Zhao walked out of Hansong Hall and walked towards Chengfu Palace, when he thought of Sui'er, he thought of Yin Li, who had been worried about Li Xiao'e for the past few days, but ignored her, so he quickened his pace. (To be continued)
