"Let her come in."
Li Yi raised his hand indifferently, but Cao Qingyan's face turned ugly.
He couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, you... do you really want to see her?"
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and there was definitely something wrong. He nodded and said, "Yes, what's the matter? Can't I see her?"
"It's not that I can't see it, but I need to think about how to deal with it?" Cao Qingyan's tone was full of fear, as if it was some kind of scourge and he needed to take precautions in advance.
But Li Yi has this temper. The more you behave like this, the more curious he becomes.
"Really, I am becoming more and more curious, what is so surprising about this woman who was once so powerful in the palace?"
"Herald her in!"
"Let her go to my royal garden."
After saying that, he left proudly, with an extraordinary bearing. Now he has developed invincible self-confidence, and he is so calm and calm even when facing anyone.
Since time travel, this temperament has long become a habit and is deeply ingrained in one's bones.
"Ah?" Cao Qingyan was stunned. How could an emperor go to the imperial garden to see his elders and not his lover?
But who dares to disobey the emperor's will?
He had no choice but to follow, while the Imperial Army soldiers went to pick them up.
The capital, which had just been calm for ten days, once again caused an uproar because of the arrival of this woman.
Half an hour later, Li Yi had arrived at the Imperial Garden. He was half lying on a deck chair, with his legs folded and a fishing rod in his hand. It was so comfortable.
But there is no imperial air at all, and the whole person looks like the dandy second generation ancestor on the streets of the capital.
The eunuch suddenly shouted: "Queen Mother Xiaoning, please give me an audience with your Majesty!"
Hearing this voice, Li Yi pretended to turn a deaf ear, still holding the fishing rod and humming a tune in his mouth, just thinking about the impression of this person over and over in his mind.
Unfortunately, in his ex's memory, this woman's memory was very unfamiliar, just a vague impression.
In order to understand this woman clearly, before coming, he specifically asked Cao Qingyan to learn about this woman's life.
But if you don’t ask, you won’t know. If you ask, you will be shocked. This woman is not simple!
This girl's name is Zheng Mengjing. She was born in the Zheng family in Xingyang. She is a child of an aristocratic family. She has been extremely intelligent since she was a child. She is also a direct descendant of noble blood and is loved by the family.
Even if she entered the palace, it was extremely expensive. On the day she entered the palace, she was directly named a noble concubine and was deeply loved by the late emperor.
But as a child of an aristocratic family, she was naturally very sophisticated and scheming. She was even more favored than the late emperor and empress. In addition, she was ruthless and decisive, so many people in the palace were afraid of her.
This can be seen from Cao Qingyan's performance. He was just a young eunuch back then.
This shows how favored Zheng Mengjing is and how powerful he is in the harem, even influencing the front court.
According to Cao Qingyan, the reason why Zheng Mengjing was favored was not just because of her scheming and family background, but the most important thing was her appearance.
Charming and unparalleled, these words are not enough to describe her. In one sentence, if there had been a red sleeve list back then, she would have been at the top of the list just because of her beauty.
The late emperor just took one look at her and was completely obsessed with her, unable to extricate himself. He called her a beauty that only happened once in four thousand years.
Even after so many years, Cao Qingyan was still amazed when he talked about Zheng Mengjing.
But the more this happened, the more Li Yi's curiosity was aroused. What kind of woman could be so beautiful?
Is it possible that she is more beautiful than Ye Qingluan, Zhao Huaijin, An Zhiyi, Ni Yaoer, and Mrs. Wang?
The sound of light footsteps sounded on the winding path of the Imperial Garden.
The person who came was none other than Zheng Mengjing, Queen Mother Xiaoning.
Her eyes are straight, and she naturally has an indescribable nobility and majesty. Even if her face is expressionless, it is difficult to look directly at her. Moreover, her gaze implies a kind of domineering, and her eyes are full of wisdom.
At first glance, he looks like a child of a family with deep knowledge and clever methods.
However, her clothes today are particularly low-key. The top is a rose red ruffled gold double-layered Cantonese silk long tail robe, and the hem is a golden chrysanthemum embroidered pleated skirt. She is elegant and luxurious yet pretty and colorful.
Similarly, the bun is simply tied up, but the hollow jade phoenix hairpin embellishes it a little bit extra.
As for that face, it is really stunning. The delicate and beautiful face has picturesque eyebrows and red lips, and there is no trace left by the years, but it gives her the intellectual beauty of a mature woman.
"I, Queen Mother Zheng, Queen Mother Xiaoning, pay homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
But Li Yi turned a deaf ear and never even turned his head, as if he hadn't heard.
It was obvious that I was deliberately trying to embarrass her, but so what, I am the emperor, not to mention the former emperor and queen mother, even the former queen mother was not easy to use.
And he is still an enemy. Since he is an enemy, why should he be polite?
Empress Dowager Xiaoning, Zheng Mengjing, obviously didn't expect this either. She suddenly frowned and showed displeasure on her face, but her displeasure disappeared instantly.
Continuing with the salute, "I, Empress Dowager Zheng, and Empress Dowager Xiaoning, pay homage to the Emperor."
"..."
Three times in a row, Li Yi turned his head and glanced, but this glance immediately shocked him.
Yes, I was shocked.
No matter what he said, Li Yi was a person who had seen the world. He had experienced countless female celebrities in his previous life. In this life, there were also Ye Qingluan, Zhao Huaijin, An Zhiyi, and Ni Yao'er, all of whom were famous beauties on the Red Sleeves List, but he still couldn't suppress her. Shock in my heart.
Even, for a moment, he had already thought about what his son would be called?
He completely forgot that the woman in front of him was the biological mother of his life and death rival!
By the way, he is still his nominal elder.
He has been completely attracted by the beauty of the other party.
Is he the Queen Mother?
Whose queen mother is so young? Aren't they all decrepit old ladies?
Li Yi had been prepared for a long time, but at this moment, he was completely useless.
The main reason is that this woman is so outrageous that beauty is a disaster.
Moreover, this woman does not look old at all. She has a ruddy face and is as fair as jade. She is at most twenty-eight years old. She has the most elegant temperament. She has a calm and leisurely smile, a calmness that is not surprised by humiliation, and the calmness of a windless woman. She has the style of a mature woman.
She is more beautiful than the women on the Red Sleeves list, even Ye Qingluan and Zhao Huaijin are slightly inferior to her.
"call!"
Li Yi took a deep breath and blurted out: "It can be said that the fishes are sinking and the geese are falling, the birds are making noises, and the flowers are shy and quivering in sorrow!"
As soon as these words came out, Queen Mother Xiaoning Zheng Mengjing's face turned slightly red, and her eyes were filled with cold light.
He cursed secretly in his heart, "What a deceitful emperor, so brave, he dares to molest me!"
Li Yi took a deep breath again to calm himself down.
The next second, his eyes were filled with sternness and his aura was cold.
This instant change in Li Yi's mentality shocked Queen Mother Zheng, and she couldn't help but secretly said, "Such a strong willpower, can you transform your emotions instantly and not be affected by them?"
She had to say that she was a little surprised by the changes in the emperor today. When he left the palace, he was still just a child in a dragon robe, crying and immoral, but now he has the aura of an emperor and is extremely domineering.
She was subconsciously on guard, but her face was still as warm as the spring breeze, and her demeanor was dignified. She bowed and said, "I pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live, long live, long live."
But this move made Li Yi couldn't help but take a second look. With that movement of bending down, two pieces of white snow were immediately exposed, so big and white.
Just one glance made Li Yi almost have a nosebleed.
"Get up, Queen Mother Zheng!" Li Yi smiled lightly and ignored Queen Mother Xiaoning, mainly because she was so beautiful.
"You traveled thousands of miles from the southwest to the capital. How could you not inform you in advance? I should have left the city in advance to greet you."
Hearing this, Queen Mother Zheng's eyes flashed, and she secretly glanced at Li Yigao.
When the two met for the first time, their simple words were full of temptation and confrontation.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude. It is really against the rules to return to Beijing suddenly. However, I have been dreaming recently. I think of the late emperor and the days in the palace. I feel like returning home. That's why I went to the capital privately without asking for your Majesty's instructions. When I return to Beijing, I hope your majesty will forgive me."
Her tone was very calm, and she described herself as a widow who missed the late emperor. No one would sympathize with her.
But Li Yi didn't. Did he think he was a fool? How could he be gullible? He immediately smiled and said: "Really?"
"It doesn't matter. Since Empress Dowager Zheng misses the palace and homesickness, it is understandable."
"Rules, they are all set by people. I will change these rules for Queen Mother Zheng today. You can return to Beijing at any time as long as you like."
Empress Dowager Zheng was also stunned. She didn't expect Li Yi to be so easy to talk to. This was not like the rumors. She immediately thanked him profusely.
The next second, Li Yi suddenly smiled, "Since Empress Dowager Zheng is so reluctant to part with this palace, then just stay in the palace. How about I take care of you in your old age?"
