Chapter 40 Prince's confession

I didn't expect that there were people in the forest today. When I walked to the depths, I saw a graceful figure dancing in the forest not far away, and a green veil was almost integrated with the bamboo forest, which made him excited. When he approached, he found that it was Yao Yulu.

Yao Yulu blushed with praise and nodded slightly, "Your Majesty is overreputed."

"This dance is so attentive that I practiced diligently in the middle of the night. I'm afraid it's dedicated to the royal brother." Li Qingyu's words were so sour that he could see that his heart for Yao Yulu was obvious.

Although Yao Yulu is young, she also knows the rules of the palace. She will become the emperor's woman for the beautiful girl, and how can she go with the prince's eyebrows and receive it privately? After previous contacts, she felt that her feelings towards the prince had also changed a little, but she was afraid that she had never been in contact with a man when she was young. The girl was just shy, so she replied coldly, "Yes, but please keep it secret for me."

"Do you want to surprise the royal brother? I didn't expect Yao Xiunu to have such a mind. Li Qingyu said a little depressed.

"The people's women are beautiful women. Who doesn't want to win the emperor's favor? They are rouge fans like others. It's the prince who value it." Yao Yulu is neither humble nor arrogant, and her tone is more strange than the previous encounters.

Li Qingyu was a little unhappy. He thought that the two had a funny relationship last time, but today he said like a stranger, "I don't know if it has disturbed Yao Xiunu's purity and made Yao Xiunu so indifferent to me."

"The draft is approaching, and the daughter of the people will become the emperor. She has to keep a distance from other men so that she will not fall into tongues. Please forgive me."

Li Qingyu became more and more disappointed after hearing this. He asked, "If I say I'll take you away at this moment, would you like to?"

Yao Yulu was shocked. She saw the thoughts of the eight princes in her heart, but she didn't think about it, but she made it so clear that if this palace was heard by the others, it would be the death penalty for the nine clans. She quickly said, "The prince is self-respecting, and the people and the women have no idea of the emperor. Moreover, the prince and the people and the people have met several times. Did the prince say this to kill the people's daughter?

Yao Yulu no longer took into account Li Qingyu's identity and said harshly. Before Li Qingyu could respond, she ran all the way out of the bamboo forest.

Li Qingyu looked at Yao Yulu's distant figure. At this time, he felt a sense of loss. That feeling was more like losing his beloved treasure. He had already reached a marriageable age, but he did not marry or accept marriage. It was just because he had not met someone who could move him, and the girl in front of him touched him for some reason. Heartstrings, but unfortunately, they were taken away by the royal brother again.

He didn't know that one day this loss would turn into heartache.

Yao Yulu rushed back to the Taoyuan Hall in panic and hurried back to the west wing.

"Sister, why are you sweating so much? What's wrong?"

Yao Yulu stroked her chest, but shook her head slightly and said, "I almost bumped into the maids of honor in other halls."

How dare she tell Ji Shuidong what just happened, and how can she tell Ji Shuidong? Such a thing spread to Ji Shuidong just to cause trouble to Ji Shuidong.

"It's just a maid of honor. My sister is so worried. Sister, you see, I have embroidered some of this stiff cut." Ji Shuidong handed the cut silk in her hand to Yao Yulu's hand. Yao Yulu calmed down and took a look. The bamboo leaves on it were lifelike, and the exquisite appearance could be seen that she took a lot of effort. She said gratefully, "Sister Lao is so troublesome and embroidered very delicately."

"It's good if my sister is satisfied. Shuidong is afraid that she doesn't like it when she sees her. How's her dance?"

"It's just a change from what I practiced before, and it's almost done after a few more nights."

"That's good."

"It's getting late. Let's go to bed early."

Ji Shuidong took a look. After most of the embroidery, his eyes were a little dazzled. The two of them were very tired on this day and fell asleep soon after lying in bed.

After a few days, I saw that Yao Yulu's dance had almost been practiced, so I waited anxiously for Yao Yujiao's news.

On this day, Bier, Yao Yujiao's close maid of honor, rushed to the west room early in the morning. Seeing that Yao Yulu had just got up, she quickly went into the room and whispered, "The Empress is going to lead the emperor to the bamboo forest for a walk this afternoon, and asked Yao Xiunu to prepare to stop."

Yao Yulu quickly invited Bier into the room to serve tea. After listening to Bier's words, she replied happily, "I'm sorry for Sister Bi. Please also invite Sister Bi to contribute to the Empress. Everything is ready."

"The maidservant will go back and reply and wish the beautiful horse success." Bier was slightly blessed and felt that she had a little too many words. She curled her lips and smiled awkwardly, and hurried back.

Ji Shuidong just returned from fetching water, and saw Yao Yulu standing against the door and asked, "How did my sister come out?"

Yao Yulu said thoughtfully, "It's time."

The two closed the door and entered the house. Ji Shuidong took out the fan that had been made for many days. The fan had been embroidered, and the wire on it was slightly soft. The emerald green embroidery thread was embroidered into pieces of bamboo leaves, and decorated with silver thread, surrounded by grass green bamboo butterflies, and a lifelike bamboo fan.

"sister, you've been working hard these days." Yao Yulu couldn't help but feel a little guilty when she saw Ji Shuidong's poor spirit and looked at such a delicate fan in front of her.

"What did my sister say? It's a blessing to be able to help my sister. Shuidong is mediocre and shallow. I only hope that my sister can get some favor from the emperor."

Yao Yulu smiled and said, "You don't have to despise yourself. With your beautiful posture and gentleness, it must be before the emperor likes you." Yao Yulu's words inevitably comforted him. If he wanted to win the emperor's favor, he would have to work harder.

After noon, Bi'er came to spread that the emperor's general arrived in the bamboo forest half an hour later. Yao Yulu hurriedly changed into a prepared dance dress and went to the bamboo forest. Although it was late spring, the weather was still slightly cold. Such a thin skirt made her tremble a little. She sat at the table again, lightly traced her thin eyebrows and painted powder. Dai, the plain makeup complements this dance skirt.

"My sister is a little more beautiful than usual when she dresses up like this."

Yao Yulu smiled and said, "Then I'll go now."

"Sister, remember to go through the side door, so as not to meet someone who makes mistakes."

Yao Yulu nodded and quickly prepared the fan and drove it out.

In the other room, Yao Yujiao was just having lunch with the emperor.

"It's summer. Is the bamboo forest next to the emperor's palace this year good?" Yao Yujiao asked carefully.

Li Qingxiao remembered the bamboo forest next to his hall. It is not lush this year, and the rain in this spring has not made them green. He replied, "I have seen it several times before, but I don't like it. The color is a little lacking."

Yao Yujiao asked for such an answer. She smiled and said coquettishly, "The emperor loves bamboo, but this group of slaves can't afford to raise eye-catching bamboo for you. It really deserves punishment."

"What's the use of punishing them? I don't know that the wind direction next to the hall is indeed more suitable than the bamboo forest next to the Taoyuan Hall." Li Qingyu remembered the bamboo forest next to the Taoyuan Hall, but it was so far away from the hall and felt a little sorry.

"Your Majesty, why don't you take advantage of your free time this afternoon and accompany you to visit the bamboo forest in Taoyuan Hall?" Yao Yujiao saw that the greeting was almost over, so she drew the key point.

Li Qingyu became a little interested and asked, "Is that film still that good this year?"

"A few days ago, when my concubine passed by the forest, I saw that the bamboo was green and lush, long and straight, rustled by the wind, which was very beautiful." Yao Yujiao has never been to that side, but everyone in the palace knew that the bamboo was born well, so she said it.

"Sure enough, this moved bamboo is really not as good as my life. Is it better to travel with my concubine?" Li Qingxiao said on a whim when he heard Yufei's words.

Yao Yujiao saw that her goal had been achieved, so she replied with great interest, "Of course, my concubine also wants to enjoy bamboo in this afternoon to relieve the boredom with the emperor."

With that, Yao Yujiao went out of the hall with the emperor and walked towards the direction of Taoyuan Hall.

Walking to the bamboo forest, Yao Yujiao asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the bamboo forest is muddy, why not..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Qingxiao interrupted, "What's the matter?"

Li Qingxiao was suspicious. Yao Yujiao was afraid that the emperor would think too much and stop him. She knew that since she had arrived here, the emperor would definitely go in, smell the bamboo fragrance, and listen to the bamboo sound before she stopped. Maybe I will meet a beautiful woman.

Li Qingxiao strode into the bamboo forest. Under the encouragement of the wind, the bamboo leaves made a sound like a kite. The rhythm was different and a little more pouring. The sunlight sprinkled on the soil of the bamboo forest through the cracks of the bamboo leaves, and the whole forest was condensed in a secluded green world.

As he walked, he suddenly saw a touch of emerald green in the distance. The light and delicate figure made him unable to distinguish it. He was full of curiosity, but he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Yao Yujiao followed Li Qingxiao and faintly saw the touch of green beating. She estimated that the man was her sister Yao Yulu. She didn't say much but followed the emperor.

Li Qingxiao searched along the dancing green figure, getting closer and closer, and closer, he saw a figure dancing around bamboo in the forest. The breeze in the forest floated with the corners of his clothes, and his fingers like green jade gently spread among the bamboo branches. The dancing posture of lotus moved gently and wonderfully between the bamboo forest, and a green gauze skirt followed The rotation of his posture swayed in the forest, which made Li Qingxiao even more fascinated.

Li Qingxiao stepped forward again and saw Yao Yulu rotating. Seeing the person in the dragon robe behind him, he immediately stopped his body lightly. He covered his face slightly with the shredded fan in his hand, and put his hand with bamboo leaves on his waist and said in a hurry: Knowing the emperor's coming, disturbing the emperor's purity and asking the emperor to forgive his forgiveness.

The breeze at the end of spring made Yao Yulu's face slightly red, coupled with a faint touch of rouge on her cheeks, which made her more and more shy and beautiful. A light dance skirt scattered lightly on the muddy land and nodded slightly.
