Tang Dynasty Little Godfather

Chapter 21 Can This Old Ticket Get You Boarding Your Passenger Ship?
Wang Xinian stood blankly in front of the imperial city gate, his mood unusually low.

"Just a few maids? That's not enough. How stingy. I've been busy for a whole day and night, and I haven't gotten anything. Damn it, I'm already in the Tang Dynasty, and I'm still stuck with this fate. It seems that hard work really isn't for me."

He suddenly raised his hands and shouted, "I'm never trying again!"

It's unclear whether God heard his cries or not, but He gave him some feedback and interaction.

"You little brat, stop right there!"

"Father, please forgive me. If I hadn't run away, you might have broken the law. I can't be unfilial!"

"Oh dear, alright, alright, just don't let me catch you, you're really making me furious."

Wang Xi was seen running wildly around the corridor, with Wang Shouyi chasing closely behind him, wielding a large sword.

Today really scared Wang Shouyi half to death. Wang Xi's behavior was simply courting death. Although he eventually escaped danger, in Wang Shouyi's opinion, it was just pure luck, or perhaps the emperor just didn't show it.

They must be taught a lesson. Even the princess of Xue Kingdom tacitly approved of Wang Shouyi's act of drawing his sword. If he doesn't learn his lesson, he'll be out of control in the future!

In the end, Wang Xiaoque was thrown into the ancestral hall and locked up again.

It wasn't until evening that Li Longji finally finished his official duties for the day.

At this moment, Gao Lishi came to Li Longji's side and whispered, "Your Majesty, Consort Wu has sent someone to inquire when Your Majesty will go there?"

Li Longji glanced at the sky outside the door, stood up and said, "Let's go now."

But as soon as he stepped out of the room, Li Longji suddenly stopped, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Has Wang Xiaoque left?"

Gao Lishi said, "He went back more than an hour ago."

"This kid is quite close to his aunt."

Li Longji smiled slightly and suddenly said, "Send someone to tell Consort Wu that I will not be going today."

Gao Lishi was taken aback, but immediately realized what was going on. He thought to himself, "That kid is really amazing. He always manages to make a mistake that turns out to be a success."

"His Majesty?"

When Empress Wang saw Li Longji, she was somewhat surprised, but she immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you."

"Your Majesty, please rise."

Li Longji noticed Empress Wang's surprise and felt somewhat guilty. This feeling also made the couple feel a little awkward and unsure of what to say.

"By the way, did Que'er go back?"

Li Longji looked around and asked a question he already knew the answer to, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"I went back earlier."

Empress Wang then said, "Your Majesty, Que'er is young and ignorant. If he has offended Your Majesty, I apologize on his behalf."

"Does the Empress think I've come here to interrogate her?"

Li Longji pretended to be angry and waved his hand, saying, "Empress, do not listen to slander. I have no grudge against Que'er. Just as he said, his portrait is both loyal and filial and deserves praise. Why blame him?"

Then he added, "By the way, is that portrait finished?"

"It's finished."

"Bring it here quickly so I can see it."

"Yes."

Empress Wang quickly ordered her maid to carry the painting board and portrait to Li Longji.

Li Longji stared intently, and was immediately stunned.

When the portrait only featured him, he was truly majestic and handsome, with a resolute gaze, exuding the aura of a wise ruler. But now that Empress Wang has been added, the artistic conception of the painting has completely changed.

In the painting, Empress Wang is positioned to the lower left of Li Longji, looking back at him. Li Longji is also looking in that direction, resulting in their eyes meeting, and her resolute gaze softens with tenderness.

This glance felt like stepping back into the days of childhood sweethearts.

As memories of the past flooded his mind, Li Longji's eyes became somewhat moist.

He suddenly realized that this position was only suitable for Empress Wang; anyone else would feel awkward sitting here. Empress Wang saw this and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. When she first saw this portrait, she felt both sweet and sad.

After a long while, Li Longji gradually came to his senses, subtly wiping the corner of his eye, gently holding Empress Wang's hand, and whispering, "Yue'er."

The way Empress Wang called out "Yue'er" with a hint of guilt made her feel extremely wronged. She longed to throw herself into Li Longji's arms and tell him about the grievances she had suffered these past few days. However, she remembered Wang Xi's innocent words and could only suppress her grievances and smile, saying, "Your Majesty has not called me Yue'er for a long time."

His eyes were full of tolerance and understanding.

This is exactly what Wang Xi hoped for; he wanted Empress Wang to face the current crisis with an inclusive attitude.

In Wang Xi’s view, it was impossible to control someone like Li Longji. The more scheming Wang Xi tried, the faster he would be able to depose the emperor and install Wu Zetian.

Wang Shouyi is still working hard and is not yet mature. Even if he wanted to help, he would be too far away and might even do more harm than good.

The safest approach is to avoid getting caught up in the conflict and fight, stabilize the situation first, and then find an opportunity to solidify your own position once Wang Shouyi has matured.

At least for this moment, this tactic is clearly very effective.

Empress Wang's tolerance and understanding deeply moved Li Longji, making him feel much more at ease.

The two men sat facing each other, drinking and reminiscing about the past. In the midst of this lively conversation, Li Longji, the seasoned veteran, casually pulled out the old boat ticket.

Inside the curtained area, as Empress Wang gently removed her outer garment, Li Longji's eyes widened in shock. He saw that Empress Wang's slender legs were wrapped in a layer of black gauze, with two black straps connecting her to a strangely shaped "bellyband" with gauze trim on her chest, through which the snow-white skin beneath the gauze was faintly visible.

The Tang Dynasty did not value plumpness as beauty, but rather a full figure. However, due to her years of martial arts training, Empress Wang, though full-figured, was still graceful, with a slender abdomen, sexy collarbones, and a pair of long legs. Coupled with this new style of underwear, her curves were subtly revealed.

"His Majesty."

Empress Wang called out softly and shyly.

"what?"

Li Longji finally came to his senses, "Empress, what are you wearing?!"

"These are the lingerie I designed."

"Designed by the Empress?"

Li Longji exclaimed in surprise.

Empress Wang nodded shyly and explained, "Your Majesty advocates simplicity, but many concubines still love beauty. So I thought of making beautiful clothes with less silk. Outer skirts are obviously not suitable, so I thought of these undergarments. Does Your Majesty think they look good?"

"Beautiful, this is truly beautiful. The Empress's painstaking efforts make me feel ashamed!"

"Your Majesty, please don't say that. This is what I should do. If Your Majesty thinks it looks good, I will order the Imperial Wardrobe to make this kind of underwear for the other concubines. In fact, I have designed several other kinds as well."

Actually, no, it was only because of Wang Xi's words that Empress Wang changed her mind at the last minute.

Li Longji was deeply moved upon hearing this.

Of course, when faced with such a sexy beauty, it's best to hold off on being moved for a while and get on the boat first.

With the combined power of the portrait and the lingerie, Li Longji unleashed his full potential on his wife, whose damage output instantly skyrocketed.

After their passionate encounter, Li Longji held Empress Wang in his arms, his large hand still gently stroking the black veil, as if savoring the moment.

Empress Wang was overjoyed.

She truly hadn't expected the clothes to have such an effect.

It's so scary.

"Yue'er."

Li Longji suddenly shouted.

"Ah."

Empress Wang slightly raised her head and looked at Li Longji.

Li Longji said, "May I try on these stockings?"

"???"
