Will succeed

Chapter 34

In fact, the emperor is a person who does not believe in evil. In the past, he disdain to talk about ghosts and gods, thinking that those are all fabricated by people, just for fun.

But since the emperor encountered a bizarre incident last year, the emperor changed his view of ghosts and gods.

He not only began to believe in Buddhism, but also ordered everyone in the palace to burn paper money during the July Half Ghost Festival to comfort the dead underground.

Therefore, after hearing about the fox fairy, the emperor was very concerned, wishing that the fox fairy would appear in front of him immediately.All the princes and adults didn't take it seriously, but everyone tacitly didn't say anything.

If the emperor is willing to make troubles, let him make troubles. Anyway, he will search for it, and if he can't find it in the end, let it be.

After a long time, the emperor also forgot.

But who knows, this matter really has a clue!For a while, the emperor was restless!

Faced with the emperor's questioning, Li Jue was not surprised.Regarding this matter, if the emperor didn't doubt it, he would find it strange.

However, he also has a countermeasure: "Father is too worried, no matter how bold I am, I will not dare to hide this matter. I really don't know about it. After all, I passed out that day, or woke up yesterday and heard about it. I just found out about it. But..."

Li Jue drew his voice very long, and the emperor impatiently asked, "But what?"

Li Jue smiled: "However, since the third brother proposed this matter, and he also said that the fox fairy is in the son's mansion, then the third brother must know who is the fox fairy. Why didn't the father ask the third brother?" "

Sure enough, the emperor turned his gaze back to Li Xi after hearing Li Jue's words.The normally shrewd emperor didn't even think about it at this moment, and did exactly what Li Jue said.

It seems that the emperor is deeply involved in the matter of ghosts and gods.

Seeing that Li Jue kicked the matter back at him, Li Xi was not nervous, but continued to smile sweetly: "Father, my son heard that the prince and brother brought back a beautiful woman a few days ago, and others said She is a fairy descending to earth!"

The emperor frowned, as soon as Li Xi said that, he thought of that woman.It seems that it is called Yingque, and it was brought back from Yanyang by Li Jue, but I heard that it is a brothel girl, so how could it be related to the fox fairy?

When Li Jue brought her back, he didn't say why, so the emperor didn't know that Yingque had contributed to Yanyang's affairs.After learning Yingque's identity, he even scolded Li Jue for being unseemly and bringing everyone into the mansion!

But the emperor didn't make any substantive actions as he talked. He believed in Li Jue's character.Getting angry at him was just uncontrollable for a while, and the emperor calmed down after scolding him, thinking that Li Jue had his own thoughts, so he let it go.

"I've heard of her before, she's a girl from a brothel, how can she have anything to do with a fox fairy?"

"Father, although she comes from a world of dust, her intelligence is extraordinary."

When Li Xi said so, the emperor regained his spirit, maybe it was true or not, anyway, he was unwilling to give up any clues related to the fox fairy.

"What do you think."

Li Xi withdrew his smile and acted in thought: "I heard that the girl was brought back because of the contribution to the Yanyang disaster, so the emperor brought her back. Such a talented girl, even if she was born in a brothel, it is not an exaggeration. And That girl is not selling herself, she has a good reputation."

After the words fell, the emperor did not immediately believe Li Xi's words, but instead asked Li Jue, "Prince, is this serious?"

Li Jue smiled, he already guessed what Li Xi was going to do, and he was willing to help him, it would be good if the Prince's Mansion had one less threat, lest she hurt Fu Li.

At this moment, Li Jue thought of Fu Li's safety, and he didn't understand why.He even found an excuse for himself, saying that Fu Li was the daughter of Taifu Muxi, and he should take care of it himself.

However, this excuse is too far-fetched, even Mu Xi's daughter doesn't have to work so hard.

"real."

After the word fell, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief. Even Li Jue said that this matter was true, so it must be true.

Could it be that Yingque is really a fox fairy?

The emperor was very excited, as if he saw his feat of dominating the world.

"Come on, go to the Prince's Mansion to find a girl named Ying Que, so I can invite her into the palace!"

After receiving the order, the eunuch Sheng Gonggong who was next to the emperor rushed to the Prince's Mansion, and at the same time secretly guessed Yingque's identity in his heart, it must be unusual for the emperor to say please!

If you can curry favor, then in the future... you won't be promoted step by step?

And Yingque in the Prince's Mansion, under Li Xi's order, is dressing up.

In fact, she was already born beautiful, so she didn't need to spend any effort on it, but in order to win the trust of the emperor, she had to conform to her status as a fox fairy.

When he first learned about Li Xi's plan, Ying Que was actually unwilling.

But Li Xi repeatedly emphasized that the emperor would only confess her if he entered the palace, and would not treat her as those secular women. He also said that as long as she entered the palace, his chances of winning would be greater.

Yingque couldn't resist, so he had no choice but to agree.However, she still has a vigilant heart, who knows what will happen in the future?

She also told Li Xi about the situation in the Prince's Mansion, that Concubine Gu could be wooed, she was already a little moved, but she still had to be cautious, so as not to fall into Li Jue's trap.

As for Fu Li, who Li Xi asked her to observe, Ying Que really didn't see anything, except that he vaguely felt that there was something wrong with Fu Li's background.

After explaining the matter of the Prince's Mansion, Yingque calmed down, made himself look more fairy-like, and then waited for the news from the palace.

About half an hour later, people came from the palace.

In front of Eunuch Sheng, Yingque behaved extremely coldly, and was not surprised that he came to find him.With this gesture, Eunuch Sheng immediately felt that Yingqi was unpredictable, no wonder the emperor treated her so politely.

At the moment, Eunuch Sheng became even more obsequious, without the attitude of the great eunuch at all.

All the way to flatter, Yingque finally entered the palace.

Entering the gate of the imperial palace, Yingque was very indifferent to the spectacular scenery that appeared in the sight, and made Eunuch Sheng take another look.

In fact, Ying Que was also a little curious. After all, it was a little girl who had never been in the palace. No matter how capable she was, she would be interested in new things, let alone the palace.

Walking all the way towards the imperial study room, palace people kept pointing and discussing the origin of surplus and deficiency in low voices.

Yingque didn't mind either, and let them talk.

Opening the door of the imperial study room, the sunlight behind Ying Que was dazzling.The bright sunlight shone on Ying Que's body, giving her an aura of not eating fireworks.

The emperor held his breath and looked nervously at the woman who walked in.

The white clothes are fluttering, the scattered hair is flying in the air, the cold face, and the noble temperament, all of which speak of Yingque's specialness.

The emperor stood up suddenly, the surprise in his eyes was undisguised.

Yingque walked up to the emperor, stood still, weak willows supported the wind, and even the voice was so touching: "I have seen the emperor of the later Tang Dynasty."

There was no salute, and the words were faint, but the emperor didn't mind at all.He believes that this is the bearing that a fox fairy should have.

Yingque's actions like this made it even more obvious that she was indifferent to everything, and that fairy air could not be stopped.

"Fairy... don't be too polite."

Walking down the steps, the emperor personally led Yingque to the seat, and the respect in his tone made people suspect that he, the emperor, had lost his majesty: "The fairy has come all the way to the palace, it's been hard work, and I invite the fairy to sit down and rest."

Thousands of miles away?If it is a thousand miles from the prince's mansion to the palace!

Li Jue looked at the pretentious Yingque and the flattering emperor, and couldn't help but wonder why he found out that his father still had such a flattering side today?

Yingque smiled slightly, which made the emperor unable to find Bei. Such a Yingque didn't need to do anything, and the emperor had no doubts about her identity as a fox fairy.

"The emperor is too polite."

Seeing that Ying Que sat down, the emperor couldn't stand up and talk, after all, his identity was there, even though he had almost forgotten it.

Back at the seat, the emperor told Eunuch Sheng to make tea quickly, while he looked at Yingque and said, "Fairy is so kind, I have never seen a person as beautiful as a fairy."

Li Jue's eyes showed sarcasm, the people in the emperor's harem were much prettier than Yingque, but it was only a psychological effect that made the emperor feel that Yingque was a rare beauty.

But Li Xi's reaction when he saw the emperor was to show a meaningful smile. Speaking of which, he still knew the emperor well, and knew that as long as the emperor saw the surplus, he would not doubt anything.

"The emperor is absurd."

Yingque's attitude was a little distant, but the emperor felt normal and was not angry, and continued to talk to Yingque with a smile: "I don't know how the fairy came to the prince's mansion?"

"Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of the emperor's jokes. I was traveling to Yanyang, but at that time Yanyang was hit by a disaster, and it happened that His Royal Highness was also in Yanyang, so I boldly offered a plan."

These words were spoken humbly, and they were completely in line with Li Xi's words. For a while, the doubts in the emperor's heart became much less.

He couldn't help scolding Li Jue in his heart, for not reporting this matter sooner, he only said that he brought a woman back, causing him to waste so much time.

If he knew about it earlier, he would be able to meet the fox fairy sooner, and maybe he would be able to rule the world sooner.

Thinking this way in my heart, the emperor didn't want to attack in front of surplus.He also hopes to leave a good impression, so that Yingque can devote himself to the later Tang Dynasty!

"What does the fairy say? The fairy is a bodhisattva with the heart. When he sees a place suffering a disaster, he can't bear it. I also want to thank the fairy for saving the lives of the people in Yanyang!"

Ying Que just smiled and didn't speak, it happened that at this time Eunuch Sheng made the tea, and the emperor quickly asked him to serve the tea.

For a while, there was a fresh fragrance of tea in the imperial study.

"Father, Miss Yingque is so kind, it must be my blessing in the later Tang Dynasty!"

It was Li Xi who spoke, so how could he let go of such a good opportunity to speak for Yingque?

After hearing this, the emperor first reprimanded Li Xi: "Nonsense! Did you name the fairy?" Then he said to Yingque: "The fairy is laughing at me, children are not sensible."
