This was Lu Zhi's first feeling to Li Ye.
hard to imagine.
As the empress dowager of a country, Lu Zhi's appearance at this moment was as delicate and charming as that of a [-]-year-old girl.
And it has a mature charm that [-]-year-old girls don't have.
The combination of the two can be fatal to a man's attraction.
And the truth is.
Lu Zhi is really no older than Li Ye, although Dong Shao has been the Empress Dowager for five full years.
He's only 21 now.
Lu Zhi entered the palace at the age of 16 and was named a noble concubine.
At that time, Emperor Xuan was almost terminally ill, and died half a year later.
At the age of 16, Lu Zhi became the Empress Dowager of Daxia.
To this day, because of the pampering and maintenance, the appearance is naturally still at its peak.
Of course.
Such a beautiful "Empress Dowager Xigong", Li Ye just took a look and then looked away.
He did not forget the purpose of his trip.
With his head slightly lowered, Li Ye slowly cupped his hands towards Lu Zhi: "Li Ye pays homage to the queen mother."
At this moment, Li Ye did not have the frivolity he had when facing Cixi.
Li Ye has done the proper etiquette.
While Li Ye was looking at Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi was also carefully looking at Li Ye.
Seeing the elegant and heroic Li Ye in front of him, he nodded slowly.
Then he raised his head, with a smile on his face: "I just heard that His Majesty went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace in the morning, Aijia thought His Majesty would not come here."
Li Ye smiled: "The empress was joking. Li Ye went here because he was worried about carefully choosing gifts for the empress, so he was delayed for some time. Please forgive me."
Done.
Li Ye waved his hand.
Behind Li Ye.
Xiao Anzi commanded, and moved the things that Li Ye drove off, big and small.
Antique calligraphy and painting, exquisite porcelain, everything that one expects to find.
All are rare things.
Li Ye narrowed his eyes and couldn't stop smiling.
Only Xiao Anzi at the side had a slightly weird expression on his face.
Not for anything else.
Because of these things.
In the morning, Li Ye "shun" came from Cixi's Cining Palace.
But now, it was sent to Lu Zhi by Li Ye intact.
Lu Zhi glanced at the "gift", then looked away.
Except for the identity of Empress Dowager Nishinomiya.
Lu Pheasant also came from the top family in Daxia.
No matter how expensive something is, it's hard to catch Lu Zhi's eyes.
"I wonder if the queen mother still likes these gifts?"
Li Ye smiled and looked at Lu Zhi quietly.
Lu Zhi nodded slowly: "Your Majesty has a heart."
Subsequently.
Led by Lu Zhi, Li Ye slowly entered the West Palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, he could see more than a dozen delicate side dishes on the table in the bedroom.
Li Ye smiled: "It seems that I have caught up with the good time, just in time to taste the cooking skills of my mother's harem."
It can be seen that Li Ye did not admit the slightest acknowledgment of his actions.
Lu Zhi frowned slightly.
She has always been of a high status, why has a man been so "presumptuous" in front of her?
He stared fixedly at Li Ye, then looked away, and waved his hand slowly: "Prepare some side dishes for His Majesty."
Chapter 19 Lobbying Lu Pheasant
soon.
Under Lu Zhi's order.
The maids of the West Palace brought out plate after plate of exquisite side dishes in a short while.
The maids at the side were preparing to serve Lu Zhi and Li Ye for dinner.
But here Lu Zhi just took a deep look at Li Ye who was opposite.
He waved his hand slightly.
The maids quickly left the palace.
In the huge bedroom, only Lu Zhi and Li Ye are left.
The two sat opposite each other.
After a while, Lu Zhi's eyes lightly placed on Li Ye's body: "When your Majesty is in danger, you should be diligent in government affairs and follow the example of the late emperor, and you must not be greedy for pleasure."
Lu Zhi's tone was very flat.
It seems to be teaching Li Ye earnestly.
But just one sentence.
Li Ye could clearly feel it.
However, one could clearly feel that Lu Zhi's words were indifferent.
It wasn't the deliberate contempt that Cixi had for Li Ye in the Cining Palace.
It's just Lu Zhi's true feelings.
In Li Ye's heart, he was naturally very clear.
After all, at this moment, whether it is in the eyes of Lu Zhi or the entire Daxia people.
Li Ye is just a puppet emperor temporarily set up by Cixi, so naturally he is not worthy of attention.
Li Ye smiled.
Wei Wei raised her head and cupped her hands: "Thank you, Empress Mother, for your encouragement. From now on, I will follow the example of the late Emperor and work hard to govern."
After a soft sentence.
Lu Zhi also nodded slightly: "It's good that Your Majesty understands."
"These are Chef Nishinomiya's signature dishes, Your Majesty can taste how they taste."
What Lu Zhi didn't expect was that.
Here, Li Ye shook his head slowly: "Queen Mother, I am so worried now that everything I eat tastes bad."
Lu Zhi frowned slightly.
With a quiet gaze, he looked at Li Ye deeply.
But seeing this side, Li Ye drank the fine wine in the glass, and then stared at Lu Zhi beside him deeply: "At this moment, in the court, there are traitors in power, and there are traitors who control the government."
"Great summer is in peril, and the Xiongnu invaded. This is a critical autumn, but some people don't want to resist, and they don't want to fight against the Huns. Watching my great summer fall into the abyss, my heart is like a knife, and I can hardly sleep at night. I can't eat or drink. think."
Li Ye's words were almost naked.
After one sentence.
Lu Zhi's original plain expression had completely changed.
The sharp gaze immediately pierced Li Ye: "Your Majesty, it's better not to say something casually."
Lu Zhi said every word.
The words were full of solemnity.
On the other hand, Li Ye is still calm and calm, staring straight at Lu Zhi: "As the emperor of Daxia, if I don't say it now, when can I say it? Could it be that Daxia died in the The evil hand?"
"His Majesty!"
"you're drunk!"
Lu Zhi stood up suddenly, and his tone became more and more harsh.
"Ai Jia misses that you are still young, so I won't punish you."
Lu Zhi got up and looked down at Li Ye who was sitting on the seat: "Your Majesty, you can't just say something."
With Lu's pheasant getting up.
Li Ye also stood up slowly.
He was already tall, but now he lowered his head slightly, looking down at Lu Zhi in front of him: "Right now Daxia is standing in front of the abyss, what else can't be said?"
"In just a few short years, the big summer has already been riddled with holes. Doesn't the empress think that if Cixi is in power again, my big summer will have no way out!?"
Lu Zhi's face was gloomy and uncertain.
Not much to say.
