Chapter 3 Amazing debut
With a burst of pleasant music, Yao Yulu, dressed in a mopping green gauze skirt and a thin smoky green gauze, slightly covered her appearance. Her eyes like autumn water were seductive, and her young face was charming and pure. Among a group of dancers, Yao Yulu pinched the light gauze belt and shook her hand, shaped like a breeze, graceful, as light as a swallow, and amorous for a while.
Li Qingxiao was originally not interested in this bad dance, but looking at the beauty in front of him, accompanied by the graceful dance posture, it seemed to stir up a ripple in the bottom of the emperor's heart.
And Yao Guozhang on the other side was also shocked and his lips were slightly open, and his face was full of confusion. In recent years, he, a father, has long forgotten this inconspicuous concubine. The girl in front of him is very much like Lin, who fell in love with him at first sight, with a similar appearance, similar dance posture and similar figure. Isn't this the youngest daughter born to him and Lin?
And on the other side, Li Qingyu, who had a relationship with Yao Yulu, was also surprised. He seemed to see through the girl's mind, smiled, and his blade-like eyebrows turned into a trace of tenderness. So this is her little trick. Do all the women in the world want to marry as imperial concubines? Li Qingyu's thin lips still had his iconic smile. He silently watched Yao Yulu dance and thought so silently in his heart. But he always thinks about it and feels that the girl in front of him is a little different.
The dance ended with the sound of the music.
Yao Yulu knows that her song carries her sweat over the years, and she knows that she dances well today. She smiled and her eyes were shy. She gently waved the thin cicada wings and Li Qingxiao made a kneeling bow: "Yao Yulu, a daughter, danced for her sister today. I have no choice but to do it. Please forgive me."
Li Qingxiao has never refused to be beautiful. Looking at the beautiful and poor girl in front of him, he couldn't help feeling sorry: If it hadn't been for his daughter, Yao Guozhang, I would have accepted her as a concubine.
"Please get up. There is no reason to blame this touching dance. It's better..."
"This girl is so beautiful. Brother, why don't you just promise her to me?" A voice interrupted Li Qingxiao's words.
Li Qingyu's handsome eyebrows raised slightly, as if he were competing for a treasure with his brother.
His words stunned everyone present. Yao Yulu looked at the man and suddenly thought of his chance encounter. He turned out to be the emperor's younger brother? This life is so handsome, but how can she always blame and destroy her good deeds? The unhappiness she held tightly in her heart was still smiling and silent.
Yao Guozhang on the other side didn't know what to do: although Yuyun's vacancy was filled by this inconspicuous concubine, the emperor looked happy, but the eighth brother's mouth in front of him was amazing, which destroyed Yulu's plan to participate in the draft.
"Brother, this woman and I also want to be included in the palace. I also ask you to be humble and obey the rules of your ancestors."
Li Qingxiao refused Li Qingyu's seemingly inexplicable request with a clear command. Li Qingyu waved his hand and said, "Well, when can't you take away what you like?"
I'm afraid that Li Qingyu is the only person who dares to speak to the emperor like this. Although he has no intention to rebel, because he was deeply favored by his father in those years, Li Qingxiao regarded him as an eye thorn. However, although Li Qingyu did not care about the throne, he held important military power in his hand, and the struggle between the two brothers was full of words.
Yao Yulu's suspenseful heart finally fell down, and her lips opened slightly: "Thank you for your grace."
"Thank you for your grace." Yao Guozhang followed the way.
Yao Yulu secretly looked up at Li Qingxiao. The man in front of her was not going to be her husband. She peeked at Li Qingyu again. At this moment, Li Qingyu's jade-like face was a trace of displeasure, but his angry look was still not cowardly.
Late at night, after the celebration banquet, the emperor took a sedan chair under the kowto of everyone and was ready to return to Zijing. Before he got on the sedan chair, he turned around and looked back. His eyes followed the crowd to find Yao Yulu's figure. This night, Yao Yulu left a special impression on him in addition to beauty, and it was indeed the lack of pampered arrogance. There was a difference between the imperial concubines around her. The young face was still childish, and the slight bowing of her head was pitiful. This glance was forgotten for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late, he waved his sleeves and left.
The people in the house waited for the emperor to go far away before they got up. At this time, Yao Yulu, who had not had time to change her skirt, was called by Yao Guozhang.
Yao Yulu came to the courtyard with Yao Guozhang. This is her father's bedroom, but she has never been here since her daughter's self-rememberment.
Yao Guozhang walked into the house to open up others before inviting Yao Yulu to come in.
"Is your mother all well?" Yao Guozhang's first words surprised Yao Yulu. It turned out that her cruel father still remembered her poor mother.
"The bones are a little weak, and the others are fine." Yao Yulu has been living without a father for so many years. Suddenly, facing the strange man in front of her, she didn't know how to deal with her and answered stultily.
"That's good. Today, God knows your mother, but my father also knows a little about it. This dance must have been taught by your mother? I'm afraid she came up with this idea?
Yao Guozhang's words were not deep or shallow, but Yao Yulu was shocked. She resisted the surprise between her eyebrows and pretended to answer calmly: "My father doesn't understand what Yulu said. Yulu is just dancing for her sister. I'm afraid her father is more thoughtful."
Yao Guozhang smiled, and the folds on his face were more deeply driven by this smile. He seemed to be very satisfied with the little daughter's answer: "It's okay not to say anything. I don't think I haven't noticed that you are so beautiful for several years, which is very similar to your mother's appearance in those years.
Yao Yulu took a deep breath. She knew that all this had been saved. She looked at the owner of Yao's house was still a little cowardly, and there seemed to be no special care on her. She brushed the falling hair, and the face shining by the moonlight was very touching. She said softly, "Dad is flattered.
"Although you are not responsible for the past, you still need to make a clear understanding of the doorway of your sister Yuyun's entry into the palace draft today."
Yao Yulu didn't expect that her father's mind was not as well as her sister's. She just wanted to go to the palace and give her mother a stable life. At this time, Yao Guozhang's words made her feel more confused.
"Although Yao Guozhang is a great general of my dynasty, the affairs of the court can not be said in a word. Although the harem does not interfere in the government, the status of the concubines in the harem will affect the judgment of some emperors. Although your sister Yao Yujiao is now a noble concubine, the emperor will not be loyal to one person for a long time. This time, you need to support Yujiao more and consolidate the position of our Yao family in the court. Do you understand this?
"Yu Lu understands and follows his father's instructions." After listening to Yao Guozhang's short words, Yao Yulu's heart completely changed from joy to worry. Although she knew that the future of entering the deep palace was uncertain, it turned out that it was not only the bloody wind between women, but also the struggle between powers behind it.
