Chapter 478: Always provoked
Xuanyuan Qi walked to the front and motioned for Li Changqing to sit aside. Li Changqing hesitated for a moment and sat down.
Suddenly, someone in the Xuanyuan Hall turned pale.
Li Changqing sat down and looked around, only to find that Xuanyuan Jie was also among them, and when he saw him smile at him friendly, he also returned the salute.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was a little stiff, and it seemed that whoever said the first sentence would be like a strong bird, and would be hit by an arrow at any time.
But at this moment, the unwilling person spoke......
"The prince Su asked for a lot of affection for the princess, but now the old minister found that the princess has not seen her for a long time, and the Tao has been reduced a lot."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Qi frowned, looked at Xuanyuan Xun who was lower, his face did not show a trace, and he only replied lightly: "The king of the Northern Domain is afraid that his old eyes are dizzy." ”
Saying that, in front of everyone, he pulled Li Changqing to his side, looked down at her, his eyes were dark, and Fang said: "This prince thinks that the crown princess has been quite good recently. ”
Li Changqing suddenly wanted to laugh in his heart. didn't poke his words to his face, only lowered his head to reveal the shyness of a little woman.
When this kind of look is seen in the eyes of everyone, it is a naked show of affection.
Xuanyuan Xun was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Since he is the prince, the backyard is full of self-satisfaction, why don't you take advantage of today, the emperor can choose more concubines for the prince, don't you know the beauty?" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the hall, and then the queen mother said: "The king of the Northern Domain said very much, since the crown prince is canonized today, it is also a happy event to choose a few more concubines." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, I am happy and happy with a rare opportunity." Xiao Liancheng added fuel to the fire.
She just can't see Li Changqing being so favored!
In the past, he was King Yude, and others couldn't interfere, but now that he has become a prince, can there be a crown princess? Even if the emperor agrees, what about the ministers of the court? Wouldn't you allow a woman to dominate the backyard?
Besides, no matter which prince has always been, the women in the backcourt are all pawns used to balance the throne, and the ministers are willing to favor one person alone?
The old emperor was said by several people, his eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at Xuanyuan Qi, and then asked, "What does the prince think?" ”
Although he didn't like Li Changqing, because of the matter of Xuanyuan Lingzhu, the father and son had already made a bit of a fuss, and at this juncture, the old emperor didn't want to cause trouble.
"This prince has no plans to take a concubine for the time being."
Li Changqing had been silent, but when he suddenly heard his words, he didn't feel any joy at all.
He said "temporarily"! And not "never"!
What does this mean? It means that when the time is ripe, he will give his backyard a lot of concubines due to the needs of the throne, and then use them one by one to stabilize the country!
As long as he thought of this, Li Changqing felt a little pain in his heart, and his fingertips were a little cold, so he couldn't help biting his lip and saying nothing.
Xuanyuan Qi wanted to say that he had never planned to take a concubine, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly changed.
It's not that he wants to say it, but he has to say it.
If he wanted to spoil the harem alone, it would mean that her situation would be even more dangerous, and the pain she would have to bear would be worse than before.
"Oh? Since the prince has no plans to take a concubine for the time being, forgive the old minister for taking the liberty of not knowing when the prince plans to take a concubine? "As a courtier, it's understandable to ask this, but this Xuanyuan Xun has been asking this since he came up, so it's a little inappropriate.
And Li Changmou, who has been sitting in the corner silently, is still worried about his sister in the end, as Xuanyuan Moyan's concubine, he is also attending the palace banquet today. Therefore, when Xuanyuan Xun kept asking, he was about to say a few words for his sister, but who knew that the hall suddenly remembered a humble and polite voice.
"There is a favorite wife of the king in the east, and there is only one beautiful woman in his life, and he is happy; King Wen in the west set up a golden house for his wife and spoiled him for the first time; Later, there was an ancestor who only married Empress Jing Dewen, and spoiled his wife excessively, but he still had the prosperity of my Xuanyuan Dynasty to this day. Whereas! Today, the prince's brother only has the wife of the crown princess, and he is very affectionate, even if the people know about it, they will only say that the prince loves it. Why did the imperial uncle have to ask the prince's brother to give an accurate word? These words undoubtedly made Xuanyuan Xun a little unbearable.
I couldn't help but glance at the man on the side.
No, it's a child.
The boy who was unknown, and who had even been submissive when he had seen him before, was now in high spirits, and sat there calmly, not even feeling the strong smell of gunpowder in the hall at all because of his words.
The Eighth Prince - Xuanyuan Jie.
Even the old emperor raised his head and glanced at him more.
It turned out to be the invisible son he had forgotten all along.
Li Changqing greeted him briefly just now, but now he opened his mouth to defend them, but he was a little surprised.
Is this the Eighth Prince who was still bullied some time ago?
His eyes are clear, his tone is firm, and even his standing posture is neither humble nor arrogant.
Today's robe looks extremely exquisite, and can even be described as gorgeous, although I don't know what happened to him, or what he will get by fate, in short, this child has begun to appear in the nobility of the heavenly family, and even majesty.
The hall was silent for a moment, and Xuanyuan Xun laughed.
"The Tao is that my imperial uncle is lonely and unheard." After Xuanyuan Xun said this, he also began to keep silent, but his eyes glanced at his daughter.
"Although I said that, but in the end, it is the prince, and it is time to make another concubine. This Lan Cai has taught a good son. The Queen Mother said and glanced at the middle position, and a thin woman sat there trembling at this time, almost lowering her head to the teacup, and suddenly heard the Queen Mother mention herself, and suddenly knelt on the ground in surprise, and was busy thanking.
The queen mother saw her cowardly appearance, and sneered and said: "Okay, okay, the mourning family just said a few words to you, just like that, the mourning family is upset." The Queen Mother was upset, and she wanted to take this opportunity to stuff a few people into the Prince's Mansion, even if she was not favored, but Li Changqing was angry, but Li Changqing made her feel more comfortable. Unexpectedly, she made a trip to bite the gold halfway, and said good things for Xuanyuan, and the Tao disrupted her words.
"Yes, yes, the Queen Mother, thank you concubines." As he spoke, he reluctantly climbed back into his seat.
Xuanyuan Jie, who was standing opposite, saw his mother like this, and immediately clenched his fists, and glanced at the Queen Mother coldly.
Li Changqing took this to heart, and sat there quietly, watching how the others moved next.
"The king of the Northern Domain is also thinking about my heirs of Xuanyuan Jiangshan. After all, the prince has been married for so long, and he doesn't see any movement in the princess's stomach, isn't it worrying? It's better for the emperor to give the prince another side concubine. ”
The old emperor didn't pretend to be deaf and dumb this time, and asked instead: "According to what the concubine said, what about the woman in this Xuanyuan Dynasty who is worthy of being the prince's side concubine?" ”
These words obviously also brought curiosity, since these people are so anxious to jump out, there is a better candidate, as the emperor, it is reasonable to ask such a question.
"This ......, the concubine Dao thinks that the Lord of Lingzhu is the best candidate, I don't know what the emperor wants?"
As soon as Xuanyuan Lingzhu, who was sitting below, heard this, his heart suddenly jumped violently, and he looked at the old emperor excitedly, hoping for the result.
The old emperor was a little silent this time.
And Xuanyuan Qi heard Xiao Liancheng mention the child, and the whole person instantly became gloomy.
looked at her coldly, with a little ruthlessness.
Li Changqing was even more stimulated by Xiao Liancheng's words.
looked at Xiao Liancheng sharply, suddenly stood up, and sneered: "It turns out that Concubine Xiao is here to sing today!" The Tao was so confused that the concubine was a little confused. Whether there are children or not is a matter between our husband and wife, is Xiao Guifei too lenient. Or do you want to use this to provoke the emperor to agree to stuff a disheveled Lingzhu County Lord who fell from the sky in our Li Mansion for no reason to the crown prince! Perhaps, Xiao Guifei knows something, but she just pities the Lingzhu County Lord? ”
With these words, Xuanyuan Lingzhu's face turned white in an instant, and the whole person even trembled, squeezing the table top, and almost pulled out sawdust.
Li Changqing, you are so ruthless!
This clearly means that she is no longer innocent, and she has to weigh herself if she wants to be a side concubine.
The old emperor's face was not much better, but he didn't expect that Li Changqing, who had been silent from the canonization to this moment, actually opened his mouth to make him feel extremely depressed.
Xuanyuan Lingzhu's matter, he secretly sent someone to investigate, although he gave them a chance, but they were stupid to get home, and they actually thought of seducing Qi'er, and now they failed and were thrown out of the palace, and they were also to blame. In short, he has done his best to be benevolent and righteous, and what is the state of affairs depends on their ability?
Unexpectedly, Li Changqing actually said the matter of Xuanyuan Lingzhu's loss of virginity cryptically, and at this moment, it was him, and he would not promise anything for the king of the Northern Domain.
He would not allow an unchaste person to become Qi'er's concubine.
When Xiao Liancheng heard this, he suddenly smiled: "How can the crown princess say that this concubine is wide?" This is also for the sake of the royal heirs, as if the crown princess is already happy at the moment. ”
These words were like ice cubes on the hearts of Xuanyuan Qi and Li Changqing, making the breath of the two of them suddenly become extremely cold, this woman, what does she mean?
Did she send someone to spy on her?
Thinking of this, Li Changqing's heart faintly flashed the figure of Bai Zhu, the person who is neither yin nor yang.
frowned tightly, and soon, Li Changqing smiled coldly: "This concubine and concubine Niangniang should take care of their own affairs, for so many years, even a hen has laid eggs." This is a bit vulgar, but in fact, this is the most perfect response to Xiao Liancheng.
Xiao Liancheng has been following the old emperor for so many years, but she has never come out, and secretly she is nothing, but now when she heard this, she trembled all over, stood up, stretched out her hand and pointed at Li Changqing, and said viciously: "You dare to scold this concubine for being a hen!" ”
Idiot, just scolding you, trying to bite me?
Li Changqing said disdainfully: "Since the concubine has admitted that she is a hen, the concubine has nothing to say." It's just that the emperor's words made the emperor not very happy to hear them. As he spoke, he also made a shrug at Xiao Liancheng, very innocent.
Suddenly, even the old emperor's face darkened, pulling the old man.
Looking at Xiao Liancheng, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, stupid.
But after scolding, he stared at Li Changqing with dissatisfied eyes and said, "My concubine, how can you be allowed to point fingers here?" ”
This time, Li Changqing didn't speak, only heard an evil voice with a smile: "Your Majesty, when it comes to pointing fingers, I think that from beginning to end, it was Xiao Guifei who provoked it out of nothing." ”
