Chapter 92 Picking Female Butterflies

The concubines have already stood in their position. Yao Yulu looked up slightly at Li Qingxiao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and quickly withdrew her sight. On the day she first knew, the emperor was moved by her. The emperor's gentleness towards her, but when she was framed, the emperor was unclear and ignored. Just anxious to take her life, she couldn't help but feel a little afraid, but she didn't dare to approach him again.

But she didn't want to. There are too many women in the palace who want to cling to the golden wings of the emperor, even if Xu Cai's daughter is looking forward to having a spring night with this high-ranking husband and sharing happiness one day.

She took the sachet out of her cuff, handed it to Xu Cainu's hand, and said, "Sister, just take it."

Xu Cainu nodded ignorantly. Although she didn't know what was in it, she was full of trust in Yao Yulu, so she took the sachet and put it away.

"Sit down." Li Qingxiao whispered that although his voice was not loud, it was with unspeakable strength. As he spoke, he looked around the people of His Highness and remained calm.

"Yes." The concubines answered in unison that the crisp sound of these warbler swallows converged together, and even this simple word was turned back a hundred times.

The sky is still half-bright and half-dark, handed over by the view of white and black. The sun hangs in mid-air and is about to set slowly, but it sprinkles a warm orange light on the lake. The ripples reflect the crystal clear colorful light, and some of them sneak into the hall. The ground paved with jade is also inlaid with a layer of orange light edges.

"Your Majesty, it's still early. How about enjoying the song and dancing before eating the "three fresh"?" The queen sat next to Li Qingxiao and asked softly.

"That's it." Li Qingxiao replied softly.

In a short time, I saw a woman in emerald green gauze slowly walk into the hall. Her skirt was embroidered with thick green petals and a handful of pipa in her hand. The sound of the piano rose quietly, and a group of women in dance clothes leisurely entered the pavilion and danced the butterfly.

Although all kinds of women's faces are already beautiful, they are not as beautiful as the flowers and moon of the concubines around the emperor. It can be seen that the queen has also carefully selected them, all of which are excellent but outstanding kabuki.

Li Qingxiao began to watch the song and dance with great interest. After a while, he became tired and gently held his forehead with his hand. It could be seen that it was the same busyness that made him a little tired.

Yao Yulu looked sideways and observed. It seemed that it was really not easy to be emperor, that is, no matter how beautiful and powerful the people are, they should pay attention to the ancestral family law, control the previous dynasty, and take care of the harem. They should not only be majestic, but also cruel. Although they should be cruel, they also need to be careful.

Xu Cainu is not interested in the dance performed in this pavilion. She always feels a little pretentious, which is not as lifelike as the dance occasionally performed by Yao Yulu. Too many routines have long been used to it.

After the dance, Yao Yulu had been secretly calculating for a long time. This is the best time. Li Qingxiao was not interested, and everyone's attention was also in the dance just now. The pavilion was quiet and brightly lit. She gently opened the lid of the jewelry box, and a group of butterflies flew out from under her body, with colorful bodies. The shadow looked for the fragrance and flew around, and immediately, as Yao Yulu expected, it surrounded Xu Cainu along the fragrance of Ye Hansu. The yellow lights shone on Xu Cainu's body, accompanied by flying butterflies, and at first glance, it looked like a fairy.

Xu Cainu stood up in shock by the butterfly beside her and said sweetly with a delicate smile on her face, "Butterfly, it's a butterfly!"

She touched the butterfly flying beside her like a child. A butterfly fell so gently on her jade finger, and her wings trembled gently, like a jade sculpture.

Other concubines also looked here. Although they did not get up due to the rules, they were all sighing and talked about such a scenery.

"Where did this butterfly come from?"

"Why did you turn around the women's circle?"

"I don't know, but it's really beautiful."

Li Qingxiao was attracted by the eyes of everyone at a boring time. Under the dusk light, a girl was surrounded by butterflies, and colorful butterflies outlined colorful light. The girl wore a bamboo-patterned skirt, highlighting her slender and well-proportioned figure. Her hair casually tied her with a silver hairband behind her and raised her bangs slightly. Go up very smart. Slightly pink, the curved willow eyebrows are still charming, the big eyes are full of innocence, the white skin competes with the cicada, and the peach-red mouth is not red. It is standing there looking for butterflies in their eyes, so conspicuous among the concubines present.

Li Qingxiao's heart seemed to be slightly touched. He was used to the respect and decentness of the women in the palace, which was no longer fresh, but the girl in front of him had a naive atmosphere, exuding a faint girlish fragrance, which made him look like those girls he met when he was a prince. , which is very different from the three thousand beauties in his harem at this moment.

Yao Yulu half raised her head and observed Li Qingxiao's expression. Seeing a smile in her eyes, she knew that all this was almost done.

Xiao Shufei looked at Xu Cainu, with a sneer at the corners of her mouth and awe-inspiring eyebrows. Such a trick was so dazzling in her eyes. She said softly and broke the silence in the pavilion: "Which palace is this? The emperor and queen are here, how can you get up alone and break the rules?

Xu Cai's daughter was shocked by Xiao Shufei's words and realized that she was in front of the emperor and the queen at this moment. Hearing Xiao Shufei's scolding, she quickly came forward and knelt down and said, "I lost my mind for this butterfly for a moment. Please forgive me, queen."

The queen forgot to look at the emperor, and said calmly with a smile, "This is Xu Cai's daughter of Yuemei Palace. Get up, you are also unintentional."

Before Xiao Shufei could speak, Li Qingxiao narrowed her eyes slightly and walked forward with a smile on her face. She gently helped Xu Cai's daughter up and said, "There is no need to kneel like this. I forgive you for your innocence."

With that, Li Qingxiao's pupil collided with Xu Cai's pupil. Xu Cai's eyes contained a little crystal dew. The butterfly had already slowly dispersed, but the person in front of her was so exquisite and heartfelt.

Xu Cai's daughter was flattered and hurriedly said, "Thank you...Thank you, emperor."

"The butterfly just surrounded you. Do you know how beautiful you look?" Although Li Qingxiao looked calm, his words were a little moving.

As soon as Li Qingxiao's words were out, everyone could see that this picking girl would no longer be a picking girl after today.

In the anti-audience look, Ji Shuidong's eyes were slightly distracted. He couldn't tell whether it was envy or loss, but looked at all this in front of him in a blink of him.

Xiao Shufei seemed to have a bright smile on her face, but her eyes looked at Xu Cainu fiercely, with indescribable hatred and jealousy.

The queen looked calmly at what happened in front of her, and even showed a little joy. With a peaceful smile, she glanced at Xiao Shufei sideways and nodded proudly.

Others are either lost or jealous, and their beautiful faces are full of desires.

Xu Cai's daughter was said by the emperor like a delicate rose blooming her cheeks, hanging her fan-like eyelashes, and Ying Yingfu said, "Thank you for your praise."

Li Qingxiao asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

"My concubine's name is Xu Yanning." Xu Cai's voice was a little sweeter when she saw that the situation was no longer so tense.

Li Qingxiao gently held her hands and said with a smile on her face, "Yanning, sit in front of the flowers under the quiet moon, brush the willows and drunken spring smoke, a good name."

The hall was quiet, and only the tender words of Li Qingxiao and Xu Cai's daughter could be heard. After listening to the emperor's words, Xu Cai's face was even more red, her tender lips were slightly squeezed, and her expression was full of shyness.

"When the emperor said so, my concubine knew that the word Yanning was so good!" Xu Cai said delicately that although this word was a little ignorant and naive, she felt very cute when Li Qingxiao heard it.

Li Qingxiao laughed and said, "I have only noticed such a bene person now, and I have to thank you for the butterfly just now."

The queen laughed and said gently, "This butterfly has become a good story. Xu Cai's daughter is young and loving. It's better to spend more time with the emperor in the future."

What exactly does the queen want to see? I'm afraid that only when these six palace fans share the emperor's favor and no one enjoys the emperor's favor alone can the grudge in her heart be a little less, and no one can compete with her to grab the high phoenix crown.

Li Qingxiao listened to the queen's words and was even more useful. With a little tenderness in his majestic look, he said, "Xu Cainu, you go back to your seat first. I'll come to you at night."

This sentence has been heard in everyone's ears, and the sky has darkened. Only the pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake is brightly lit, but people's hearts are unclear.

A cool breeze blew, and people tightened their clothes slightly. The weather was not as warm as daytime. Everything had precipitated, but the glazed wind bells in the corner of the pavilion were crisp and sounded, and the high hanging lanterns swayed gently with the breeze.
