Chapter 19: The Queen Mother's Expectations

Hall of Eternal Life.

Li Ci sat on the throne of the dragon chair and looked at the information presented by Cao Zhengchun.

"King Liang and his entourage have arrived in Shu. ”

"Now living in Taishou Mansion!"

Li Xi was slightly stunned.

Because, the time when King Liang arrived in Shu was three days earlier than expected!

In other words, along the way, King Liang not only did not deliberately delay, but hurried up and hurried day and night.

Only then will it be so many days in advance.

"This King Liang is a bit unexpected by me!" Li Xi smiled.

Originally, Li Ci thought that under the oppression of imperial power, even if King Liang did not dare to be opportunistic, he would not be very active.

Cao Zhengchun said respectfully on the side: "Under Your Majesty's order, King Liang will naturally do his best!"

"Really?" Li Xi was noncommittal.

"After a while, let's see how the disaster is alleviated!"

Li Ci put down the information and thought to himself.

If this Liang Wang behaves well.

It can be used!

After all, he is a child of the royal family!

It's a pity to have the ability to put it away and not use it.

Li Ci is not like the emperors of previous dynasties, who did everything possible to guard against his bloodline brothers, and was afraid that they would have any thoughts about his throne.

There is Dongchang as Li Xi's eyes and ears, monitoring the ministers, the princes, and the world for Li Xi.

Up and down the court, any wind and grass, Li Ci is clear.

If King Liang really had any bad thoughts, Li Ci would also know it for the first time.

At that time, whether to kill or degrade is completely up to Li Xi's thoughts.

There's no need to worry too much.

"Cao Zhengchun!"

Li Xi looked at Cao Zhengchun.

"The minister is here!" Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed and said.

"Pay close attention to the disaster situation in Shu for me, and if there is any emergency, I must know it!"

"Obey the order!"

"Alright, you go down first!"

After Cao Zhengchun left the Hall of Eternal Life, Li Xi sat on the dragon chair and muttered for a while, informing the eunuch maid to set up the Yong'an Palace.

Because of his busy government affairs, Li Xi usually went to see the Queen Mother once a month.

Yong'an Palace.

When the queen mother learned that the emperor was coming, she was overjoyed and waited outside the palace early.

"I heard that His Majesty deals with government affairs late every day. ”

"Your Majesty, although state affairs are important, you also have to pay attention to your body!"

The Queen Mother took Li Ci's hand and said distressedly.

In the absence of outsiders, the Queen Mother will be much closer.

Li Ci didn't have any objection to this.

In the whole world, anyone who saw the emperor was terrified and panicked.

In the face of the emperor, fear is the majority.

The only one who really cares about Li Ci's body is the Queen Mother.

"Don't worry, I know it. Li Xi said helplessly.

"Hey..."

The Queen Mother sighed lightly, knowing that she couldn't control the emperor, and changed her words: "Your Majesty, how have the Yiren behaved recently?"

"I transferred her to His Majesty's side as a personal maid, did she take good care of Your Majesty?"

"The Taiyi?"

Li Ci thought for a moment.

In fact, Li Ci has rarely seen the Taiyi people recently.

It's not because of the dereliction of duty on the part of the Taiyi people.

It's that Li Ci is too busy.

Every day, there are twists and turns like mountains and seas that need to be dealt with by Li Ci.

And Li Xi was unwilling to review it hastily and perfunctory.

Li Ci will read every fold carefully.

In this way, the day passed in a flash.

At night, Li Ci was not used to sleeping when someone was waiting.

Let the maidservants and eunuchs go out.

How can the people of Shantai have time to contact Li Ci?

"How?"

"Yiren, this girl, didn't take care of Your Majesty?" The Queen Mother saw Li Xi's expression, and her expression changed.

"It's not. Li Ci shook his head: "She's pretty good, but I don't have much time lately." ”

When the Queen Mother heard Li Ci's words, she immediately knew what was going on.

"Your Majesty, you can't go on like this!"

The Queen Mother glared at Li Ci: "I am still going to hold the emperor and grandson next year, but it has been so long, such a beauty is dangling in front of His Majesty's eyes all day long, and His Majesty has no idea at all?"

Li Ci shook his head: "Queen Mother, this kind of thing is urgent, now that the situation in the Tang Dynasty is unstable, how dare I put my mind on the love of my children?"

"Your Majesty, let me tell you, Yiren was born in the Demon Gate, and she is not an ordinary woman. ”

"If you have sex with her, not only will it not consume your energy, but it will also replenish your energy. ”

"Moreover, having her by His Majesty's side to take care of His Majesty, I feel a little more relieved. ”

The Queen Mother's words gave Li Ci a headache.

If this kind of thing comes out of the mouths of other people, even if it is a member of the first rank of the court, Li Ci will order people to drag him down.

"I will consider the words of the Queen Mother. ”

Subsequently, Li Ciyou chatted with the Queen Mother.

Half an hour later, Li Ci said goodbye to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother personally sent the emperor to the gate of Yong'an Palace.

"Go back and rest. ”

After Li Ci said this, he left Yong'an Palace.

The Queen Mother watched Li Ci go away, her expression was entangled, and she finally seemed to have made a certain decision.

"No way!"

"You can't put all your hopes on the Iraqis. ”

"Although I am more satisfied, but she is a person in the demon gate after all, if Your Majesty cares, when will the mourning family wait?"

The Queen Mother was worried.

If the emperor gives birth to an heir, she will also have someone to accompany her.

Although there is no shortage of maids and eunuchs in Yong'an Palace, it is different from the queen mother after all.

If the Queen Mother had a grandson, this huge palace would not be so deserted all day long.

"It seems that it is time to prepare for the draft for His Majesty. ”

Every once in a while, the Tang Emperor would collect show girls from the people to enter the palace.

These show girls come from all over the world, including ordinary folk girls and talented women.

These women have undergone rigorous tests and passed many selections, and then they will enter the palace as show girls.

If someone can get the emperor's favor, they can get rid of the status of a show girl and soar to the sky.

As for how far it can go, it depends on the status in the emperor's heart.

It's just that even if she doesn't get the emperor's favor, she can maintain her status as a show girl for life and enjoy the treatment in the palace, which is not much better than the outside.

Therefore, every year in the draft, countless women sign up for it.

...

...

Li Ci returned to the Hall of Eternal Life, reviewed a few sheets, and then it was time for dinner.

The palace maids had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, holding the meals carefully prepared by the imperial chefs in their hands, and they were sent in turn when the emperor nodded.

After Li Ci finished eating, the sky was almost dark.

If it was usual, Li Ci would definitely continue to review a few notes, or do something else.

But today, Yong'an Palace and his party, the Queen Mother's words Li Xi heard in his ears.

Seeing that Li Ci didn't mean to approve the recital, the eunuch walked to Li Ci's side in small steps: "Your Majesty, are you ready to rest?"

Li Ci glanced at the eunuch and asked, "Where are the people of Tantaiyi?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, she is waiting outside the palace. ”

The close eunuch said respectfully.

Waiting outside the temple...

Li Ci waved his hand and said, "Let her in." ”

"Yes. The eunuch withdrew.

A moment later, the Taiyi walked in.
