Chapter 277 Kneeling in the snow

Entering the twelfth lunar month, the weather became colder and colder. Yao Yulu looked at the thick orangutan felt dress and hesitated for a moment. Ninger advised, "Master, the weather is so cold. Look, this day is gloomy. I'm afraid it will snow. The little master's body has not recovered yet. Please put it on."

Yao Yulu shook her head and ordered, "Don't wear it anymore, Ning'er, you just wait and don't talk much."

Ning'er became worried, "Little Lord, your body is still very weak, so..."

"It's okay." Yao Yulu waved her hand and came out in a silver-red jacket. The cold wind outside is steep, blowing head-on, as if it were cut with a knife. Yao Yulu's skin is delicate, and in a moment, it turns red, but it is like rouge. Yao Yulu shrank her neck. Ninger was in the back and took her coat and shouted, "Little Lord, put it on quickly. Be careful not to catch a cold again."

Yao Yulu ignored it and went straight to the imperial study against the wind.

Li Qingxiao sat in the study, and his father-in-law stirred the fire in the copper stove. Li Qingxiao held the secret letter in his hand and frowned together, "Dir Yu, are you familiar with this handwriting?"

Mother Yu put down the copper chopsticks that plucked the fire, respectfully took the letter, and looked at it: "I'm clumsy. I just feel that I have seen this word, but I don't recognize it."

Li Qingxiao nodded and said, "This person must be a person around us. I must be very familiar with his handwriting, so I deliberately changed it to my left hand, but the meaning of the people's heart. Even if I change it again, I can't get rid of this person's own shadow in it. It's just for a while, but it's hard for me to guess.

Duke Yu bowed and said, "Your Majesty is holy."

"Yao Guozhang usually relies on his achievements, and I also open and close his eyes. Unexpectedly, I tolerate him, but he doesn't know what's good or bad. It's really abominable!"

The door of the study was gently knocked, and father-in-law quickly came forward and shouted, "Who is it?"

The little eunuch Zhong'er timidly opened the door and said, "Famorrow, the noble concubine beg for a meeting."

"I don't see you!" Li Qingxiao heard Yao Yulu inside and immediately said firmly.

"Yes." Zhong Er didn't dare to say any more and carefully retreated. He bowed to Yao Yulu, who was standing at the door of the study and said, "My concubine, forgive me. I have something to do with you. I can't see your concubine. The weather is cold. Please go back to the palace."

Yao Yulu turned over her delicate hand, and a burst of yellow gold was placed on Zhong'er's hand. "Duke Zhong'er, please inform me again."

Zhong'er did not dare to take the gold, and quickly pushed it away and fell to her knees. "Your concubine, even if I have the courage, I dare not accept the reward of my mother. Please take it back."

"Eunuch Zhong'er, I am sincere. Please don't refuse." Yao Yulu said and stuffed the gold into his hand. "Dun father-in-law, I am only waiting outside the door. Please report to the emperor from time to time."

"The Empress told me that I had to obey, but this..." Zhong Er said and was about to hand back the gold. Yao Yulu winced, and Ninger immediately came forward and forced the gold into Zhong'er's sleeve. "Mr. Zhong'er's father-in-law, don't push it again. Could it be that the reward of the Empress does not enter the father-in-law's eyes?"

Zhong Er was so scared that she knelt down again. "I dare not, I dare not. Thank you for your reward."

Yao Yulu looked at the sky, which was dark and horrible. The north wind blew and the fierce roar made Yao Yulu's body colder. She couldn't help but feel a little scared. Ninger hurried forward and put the coat on her. Yao Yulu said slightly, "Ninger, I can't wear it!"

Zhong'er advised, "The Empress is weak. You'd better put it on. The emperor is in the study, and his face is very angry. For a while, he may not be able to receive the Empress. Don't freeze her body."

Yao Yulu nodded slightly, "I appreciate the kindness of Grandpa Zhong'er."

Li Qingxiao slowly stood up from the dragon chair. Grandpa Yu hurried forward and handed him a cup of nine-curve black plum tea. Li Qingxiao gently took a few sips. "Fa father-in-law, if you press the fire a little, I feel a little dry and hot."

Dir Yu hurriedly picked up the copper chopsticks, gently pressed down the fire, covered the copper cover, and said inadvertently, "Your Majesty, it's gloomy outside, as if it's going to snow."

"Well, it's time to snow at this time. Auspicious snow promises a bumper harvest." Li Qingxiao looked out of the window * dark sky and nodded.

"Your Majesty, today's north wind is really tight." Grandpa put down the copper chopsticks and poured another cup of tea in front of Li Qingxiao.

"Hmm." Li Qingxiao took a sip of tea: "I don't feel it in the house. I only feel thirsty at this time.

"Your Majesty, the noble concubine is still standing outside the study..." Eunuch Yu looked at Li Qingxiao's face and said cautiously.

"It's cold. Let her go back to the palace. I won't see her!" Li Qingxiao's face immediately pulled down and said impatiently.

Fuch Yu didn't dare to say any more and replied gently, "Yes." He gently turned around, opened the door, and immediately a cold wind invaded. Li Qingxiao only felt a burst of clearness on his face and couldn't help but be stunned.

gong gong quickly closed the door and walked to Yao Yulu, who stood in the courtyard against the wind. "Your concubine, the emperor has an order. I won't see you today. Please come back." After saying that, he took a step forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, the emperor is also worried about your body. Your Majesty doesn't want to be so stubborn."

Yao Yulu's pink cheeks have turned red, and her hands and feet have become numb. She shook her head and stammed a little and said, "Thank you for your kindness. If the emperor doesn't see my concubine for a day, I will stand for a day. If I don't see you for two days, I will stand for two days."

Mr. Yu said in embarrassment, "Mother, what's the pain? The emperor is also in a dilemma."

"I believe that my father is innocent, and I only ask the emperor to let Yulu thoroughly investigate the matter." Yao Yulu suppressed the chill in her heart and said loudly.

Eunuch Yu looked in the study without any movement and sighed slightly, "Mother, take care of yourself." Shake his head and turn around to enter the room.

Yao Yulu knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty, my concubine's father is wronged. My concubine's father has always been loyal to the battlefield. Please check it clearly."

Duke Yu was shocked and hurried forward to help, but Yao Yulu did not move. Just knelt on the ground, with a firm face, and stared at the study with the door closed.

gong gonggong looked at the hour. The night was already late, and finally pieces of snow fell from the sky.gong gonggong looked outside the courtyard worriedly. Yao Yulu still knelt there and bowed her head and said no. Ninger held an overcoat in her hand and stood aside with tears in her eyes.

Li Qingxiao sat in front of the dragon case and did not turn over the memorial in his hand for a long time. Although the room was as warm as spring, his heart trembled with Yao Yulu in the cold winter night.

Yao Yulu knelt on the ground and cried, "Little master, get up quickly. How can the little master's body stand the ice and snow?"

Yao Yulu tried her best to hold back the cold and said tremblingly, "Ninger, don't cry. Go back to the palace. I will kneel until the moment when the emperor sees me. Don't be here, don't freeze."

"Little Lord..." Ning'er couldn't help crying and threw herself in front of Yao Yulu and desperately covered her coat. "Little Lord, get up quickly... Your Majesty, your Majesty, please be merciful..."

Li Qingxiao trembled slightly with his folded hands, but his face was cold. Eunuch Yu said, "Your Majesty, it's snowing..."

"It's getting late, and I'm going to bed!" Li Qingxiao stood suddenly and said decisively.

Ning'er looked at the bright light in the window and went out. She couldn't help screaming, "Little Lord, your Majesty...Your Majesty... go to bed?"

Yao Yulu's heart sank, slowly raised her head and looked at the dark window. Her whole body was like this cold season. There was no warmth. Ninger immediately helped her up, but Yao Yulu shook her head, "Ninger, don't pull me. I'm going to kneel down until the emperor sees her!"

"However, the emperor didn't see you, little master, the weather is so cold, snowing, snowing... Little master, you are freezing all night, little master..." Ninger was anxious and incoherent, trembled all over, trying to help Yao Yulu.

Yao Yulu looked at Ning'er's crazy face, struggled to raise her frozen blue palm and waved weakly on Ning'er's face, "Ning'er, wake up!"

Ning'er received a slap, and her dizzy brain woke up. She ploped and knelt behind Yao Yulu, "Little master, Ning'er is your maidservant. Master kneels down. How can I stand? I will kneel with you!"

Li Qingyu stood behind a tree not far away, looked at all this and sighed slightly. Xiaoqing quietly came forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you still want to come forward?"

"Let's wait. I also wanted to ask the emperor to send someone else. Seeing this scene, I'm afraid the emperor will not sleep well." On Li Qingyu's beautiful face, he suddenly showed a cunning smile and thought to himself, "Brother, you have a headache."

Li Qingxiao lay on the dragon couch, tossing and turning, under him like a soldering iron branded his heart. He shouted impatiently, "Come on, come on, why is it so hot?"

I often promised to take out some of the charcoal in the copper furnace as soon as possible. Holding a feather fan and gently fanning Li Qingxiao a few times, Li Qingxiao calmed down, closed his eyes slightly, and fell asleep in a trance.

The goose-like snow fell gently and gradually flooded Yao Yulu's jade feet and calves. Li Qingxiao looked at Yao Yulu kneeling in the courtyard and thought to himself, "I want to see how long you can kneel and how long can you last?"

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, gradually covering Yao Yulu's lower abdomen. On her chest, Yao Yulu just lowered her head, as if she had lost consciousness.

Li Qingxiao couldn't help but be surprised, "Why didn't she say anything? If it snows so heavily, I'm afraid it will drown her down." Thinking of this, the snow was really about to cover Yao Yulu's head. At the last moment, Li Qingxiao saw Yao Yulu suddenly raise her head. His sad eyes finally glanced at him and seemed to say something, but finally it was submerged by the snow, leaving a vast white land.
