Chapter 32: Competing for Favor
Walking out of Lan Xuan, Han Li Fang was about to step on his shoulder, so he heard Gong Xuanqi say, "Li'er, come and sit with me!" Han Li was stunned for a moment, such an honor, even she had never had, hesitated slightly, bowed slightly and said: "How can Li'er be qualified to be the emperor's royal chariot?!" ”
"I said yes, yes!" After speaking, he stepped forward to grab Han Li, hugged her and sat on the dragon chariot, and Teng Ye on the side was secretly speechless, worthy of being the fourth princess, just like the legend, she was supreme favored!
On the dragon chariot, Gong Xuanqi said to Han Li in a soft voice: "When your mother traveled, she sat on this dragon chariot with me, and you were by my side, as if she was still there." After that, he stared at the beautiful youthful face of the Hanli girl for a long time, and his eyes were so thick that he couldn't dissolve the deep love. But that love is transmitted through her eyes to another distant soul. In Gong Xuanqi's mouth, she is naturally Han Li's biological mother, Empress Zhaohui, the only woman that Gong Xuanqi has ever loved and loved.
Han Li saw such an emotional look in his eyes more than once, and his heart was as close as hers, so he could naturally see that he did not have himself in his eyes, and he was lucky and resentful at the same time. Luckily, he gave himself the supreme grace through his love for his mother, and he resented that this love was not for himself, but feared that when the love dissipated, the grace would cease to be. So she tried her best to consolidate her position with a qiē means, and she never wanted to look back on those tragic and dark memories, she would get what she wanted, even if it was at the expense of a qiē!
The team of people and horses stopped steadily in front of Lin Zhao Palace, but unexpectedly saw a delicate figure in plain clothes standing in front of the huge palace gate, and when they walked in, it was Cao Zhaoyi. She has always liked bright red on weekdays, and she has never been plain, but today she is dressed in white, which shows her weak and feminine attitude. Gong Xuanqi stepped forward and asked, "Why is the concubine standing here, the weather is getting cold, it's windy here, be careful of catching a cold!" ”
Cao Zhaoyi said timidly: "The day before yesterday, I was slightly infected with the wind and cold, my throat was sore, and I couldn't eat anything that caught fire, so I specially transferred the tribute given by the emperor to Princess Yuechen." Hearing her mention the tribute grapes a few days ago, Gong Xuanqi inevitably felt a little guilty, and she did not call Han Li the fourth princess, but called her official title.
Because of habitual reasons, the palace people still call Han Li the fourth princess, and at this moment, Cao Zhaoyi respectfully used the official title, which made Gong Xuanqi more appreciative, and her posture of standing in the wind in plain clothes was very moving, which made people feel very pitiful.
hugged her into his arms, and asked with concern: "Aifei, have you let the imperial doctor see it?" Why don't you take a good rest in Xiyi Pavilion, what are you doing running and blowing the wind? ”
"Your Majesty." She let out a soft and weak snort, bringing her body closer to him, and then said sadly: "The imperial doctor has seen it, but the concubine's body has not improved, and the person is even more uncomfortable." Dreaming of the emperor's figure every night, the concubine thought, maybe she saw the emperor, and the concubine's illness would be cured, so she personally made osmanthus soup for the emperor to taste, who thought that the emperor was not there, the concubine was longing, and she couldn't sit still in the palace, so she waited for the emperor here. Seeing the emperor's heroic figure from a distance just now, the concubine felt much more comfortable! ”
After listening to her words, Gong Xuanqi felt even more pity in his heart, and said softly: "Concubine Ai has suffered." Holding her soft and boneless hand, he said distressedly: "Look, your hands are cold, quick, follow me..."
"Father!" Before Gong Xuanqi finished speaking, Han Li suddenly interrupted her. As soon as she saw Cao Zhaoyi, she knew that there was nothing good, and she didn't want to say anything and leave, but she still looked at herself proudly in her father's arms, intentionally or unintentionally, since she thought she was an impulsive little doll who loved to fight, then she thought it was good! Moreover, let her see who has the heavier score in the eyes of her father!
Gong Xuanyi suddenly let go of the hand holding Cao Zhaoyi, and Cao Zhaoyi's body was unstable, and she almost fell, just about to say something. Han Li spoke again first: "Father, Li'er has returned to the palace first, it seems that Father doesn't want Li'er to dine with you!" He deliberately pretended to pout his mouth when he spoke, as if he had been greatly wronged, and anyone who saw it would be so soft that his heart would be a mess.
Gong Xuanqi completely ignored the beauties around him, strode forward, grabbed Han Li, and said, "Li'er, I said that I wanted you to eat with me!" After finishing speaking, he turned to his personal maid and ordered: "Chun Die, Xia Die, you send Cao Zhaoyi back to the palace, let Imperial Doctor Yang take a good look at her!" Aifei, since you are not feeling well, go back and rest early! ”
After that, he turned around and didn't look at her again, and said to Teng Ye again: "Ye'er, you go back to the palace first, and I'll let the servants of the Jingshifang pick you up later." The meaning of this is also obvious, tonight he wants to be lucky Teng Ye and not her Cao Yanjing!
Cao Zhaoyi hated it on the side, but she didn't dare to say anything, and the jealousy and hatred of Han Li in her heart were a little more, and she answered yes in a coquettish voice, and returned to the palace in the emperor's personal maid.
Gong Xuanqi stretched out his hand and scratched the cold Qiong's nose, and said dotingly: "Little guy, are you satisfied now?" ”
Han Li laughed very cutely, and the aggrieved look in front of him disappeared, and said coquettishly: "Father, Li'er is hungry!" ~”
"Got it!" Gong Xuanqi hugged Han Li and strode into the Lin Zhao Palace......
