17 You are the most handsome

Because it was not a regular day to ask for peace, Zhao Yanrong picked out a dress that looked solemn but was not too rigid. The dark green wide-sleeved long skirt is embroidered with silver thread with a picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix at the bottom of the mountains and rivers, and as she takes a step, the dark silver weaving lines will flash and change in the sun.

I was really not used to applying heavy white powder on my face, Zhao Yanrong just lightly applied some lipstick, traced the already slender and beautiful eyebrows with a pen, and put on the purple and gold phoenix crown of the nine phoenixes and walked out.

It was the first time Li Rui had seen the queen dressed like this. In addition to the phoenix crown that symbolizes the identity of the queen, Zhao Yanrong has no extra jewelry, which looks beautiful and dignified. It's just that there was always a lot more smart and lively face before, and a pair of eyes were black and bright like black mercury rolling in a silver platter, which made people's hearts itch when they saw it.

Looking at Li Rui's greedy face, Zhao Yanrong raised her eyebrows slightly, and walked to him with a light smile.

If you want to fight for acting, who is afraid of whom?

Li Rui saw that a light red floated on the queen's cheeks as thin as white porcelain, and a faint mist seemed to be covered in clear eyes, and the originally dignified facial features were gradually dyed with a hint of charm, and the closer he got to himself, the stronger the charm with a little shyness.

"Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, the sin of a concubine."

It wasn't loud, a little indistinct, but it was audible. The tone rose slightly, as if someone was holding a small hook and stabbing it into his heart, hooking the accumulation that had been precipitated in his heart for a long time to the bottom of his heart little by little.

Li Rui's eyebrows moved slightly, and he took back his squinting gaze, and sure enough, the seductive feeling on the queen's face that made people feel disobedient immediately disappeared, and she became the dignified and meticulous palace lady again.

The confrontation between the two people was only instantaneous, and it was extremely secretive, except for the two parties who knew it, no one else was aware of it.

The emperor and queen walked hand in hand to the outside of the Zhaoyang Palace, and Long Yuan was already ready to wait aside.

"The queen and I will go with you." Li Rui glanced at her.

Zhao Yanrong immediately squatted down and promised: "The concubine obeys the order." ”

The emperor and queen walking together is one of the daily "show" lessons of the harem and the emperor. Although Zhao Yanrong was confined in the Zhaoyang Palace before and was not allowed to go out, before the confinement, she had also been with the emperor three or four times.

The dragon chariot is very large, and the décor is simple but comfortable.

After Zhao Yanrong got into the car, she skillfully took out the teapot, teacup and tea dish from the partition on the side compartment wall. A pot of hot water was warming on the small clay stove that was fixed in the compartment on the side wall of the carriage, and Zhao Yanrong first took a few tea balls with a bamboo tong and threw them into the teapot, and then picked up the kettle to fill the teapot with hot water.

Li Rui sat on the side and silently watched the movements in her hands.

She had done this work before, but it was not as pleasing as it seemed now, and at that time she just had a straight face, always with a little twist and strength.

"Why don't you pour the pot first and blanch it? I see they all do it. ”

Zhao Yanrong pursed her lips, took a towel to put the handle of the pot, filled the cup with seven points, and handed it to Li Rui.

"It's just to quench your thirst, so what do you have to do with so much trouble? Could it be that if you do that, how much different will the taste of tea be? But I just feel that by adding a few more steps, this tea will add dignity and grade, in fact, the entrance is just like that. ”

Li Rui looked at the yellow and blue tea in the cup and took a sip carefully.

"It's true that the difference isn't huge, it's just ...... What is the grade? ”

Zhao Yanrong blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "That's nothing, I said it by the way, that is, in order to show that this tea is from a noble background, it is different from ordinary tea, so many ways have been made." Whether the tea is good or not depends on the tea and water quality. ”

Li Rui didn't ask deeply, but nodded, leaned back on the cushion, and exhaled softly.

"You may not have seen the Queen Mother for a long time, are you prepared?"

This pinched the head and tail, and the vague question made Zhao Yanrong have a headache.

What preparations should I make for seeing the Queen Mother? What to prepare? What to be prepared for?

The Queen Mother doesn't like her, she doesn't like the Queen Mother either, people who are tired of each other, of course, it's better not to meet if they can. But the identities and status of the two are here, and they don't meet? Hehe, that's impossible.

I also knew with my toes how the Queen Mother would react when she saw her. Get off the horse, cold violence, and set rules?

It must be how the trouble came.

Of course, for the sake of the Queen Mother's loving fame, of course she can't attack her for no reason, she must find a suitable reason to start and then ruthlessly.

No matter what, that is the queen mother, who occupies the position of an elder, even if she is the emperor, she can't help but take her seriously.

She has been awake for so many days, and she has been dragging on not going to Changle Palace to ask for peace, just thinking that the Queen Mother doesn't like her anyway, and it won't please her to make up for her life, so it's better to distance herself and leave some space for both sides. Of course, she's not idle these days.

If you want to live a leisurely life in this harem, the queen mother is a mountain pressing on the road of her harem life.

It is a mountain that can crush people, not a powerful backer.

With the information that Pei Yi told her, even if the Queen Mother wanted to be her backer, she didn't have the courage.

Because in the emperor's heart, there are only two women in this world who are his mothers.

One is the deceased biological mother Cheng Concubine, and the other is Concubine Wei, who has taken care of him carefully for many years, and is now Concubine Wei.

Empress Dowager Zhang's son lost in the battle for the crown prince and replaced King Kang as the crown prince, would Empress Dowager Zhang have any resentment towards this person who robbed her son of the throne? It would take a stupid person to be stupid. A shrewd person like Li Rui, even if he respects and is filial to this cheap mother on the surface, he will not be so brain-dead, and he will really serve her like a mother without regrets.

So in today's harem, the emperor and the queen mother have their own factions.

All she has to do is hold on to one of them firmly on the thigh and try to kick the other into the torrent of history.

It wasn't a multiple-choice question for her to pick and choose from.

Her uncle was a man standing behind the emperor, and if she hadn't had a mother surnamed Pei, she would not have been carried into the palace to sit on the throne of this empress.

She was born tied to Li Rui, and with Li Rui, she may have a good life.

But throwing himself into the Empress Dowager Zhang is almost like self-inflicted death.

Zhao Yanrong scratched her chin with Danko's nails, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Li Rui looking at her thoughtfully.

She blinked, smiled at him, suddenly lifted the corner of the curtain, and said outside: "Go, go to the palaces, please Zhuang Guifei, Duan Fei, and Rou Fei...... Forget about Concubine Rong, and Concubine Zhen and Concubine Hui came to Changle Palace to greet the Queen Mother. ”

Li Rui put the teacup back on the table, looked at her and smiled: "What bad tricks are you thinking?" ”

Zhao Yanrong flew and whispered, "What's the bad trick of the concubine?" It's just that I think I'm going to say goodbye to the Queen Mother anyway, so let's go over together, and talk about how lively it is. ”

Li Rui remembered how he stood behind the screen and listened to his queen cooking his father slowly.

"Hey, I really didn't expect that Zhao Shangshu would be so childlike." The young emperor touched his chin and sighed softly.

Zhao Yanrong felt that she clearly saw a hint of unclear ridicule.

Actually, you're not much better than my scumbag daddy.

Just thinking like this, I suddenly heard the emperor ask: "Empress, do you think I am quite similar to your father?" ”

Zhao Yanrong shook when she heard this, and the hairs on her body were about to explode.

"......" She raised her eyebrows obliquely, looked at Li Rui with a serious face, and then shook her head and said, "Although my father is talented, the emperor, you are more handsome than him...... It's so much more beautiful, besides, you're not as old as him! ”

Li Rui was slightly stunned and laughed: "The queen knows what I want to say. ”

Zhao Yanrong smiled incomprehensibly: "The concubine body does not dare to pretend about the sacred heart." ”

"Husband and wife, it's okay to think about it once in a while."

Zhao Yanrong blinked, and her eyebrows bent: "The concubine just wants to be the emperor's virtuous helper and live a leisurely life in this palace, as for the side, I really haven't thought about it." Your Majesty, the concubine is not talented, as long as she can be stable, she will definitely make the emperor live comfortably. "You hold me, I respect you, everyone's well water does not interfere with river water, and it is not difficult to live well.

Li Rui laughed, and the two stopped talking.

After a while, the carriage and horses were close to Changle Palace, and Zhao Yanrong thought that those concubines had to get dressed up when they received the letter, and then rushed all the way over, thinking that it was not so fast. He pulled the emperor down from the dragon chariot, planning to walk slowly all the way to Changle Palace.

Walking around more is good for the body, this garden is full of flowers, birds, water stones, and the concentration of negative oxygen ions is also high, so it is good to play in the mountains and waters.

Li Rui didn't ask her, he just followed her happiness.

accompanied her and walked around the garden.

Shopping, shopping, and I met my first friend!
