Chapter 41 Dance for You
Although Li Qingxiao has seen many beauties in the world over the years, he is afraid that he met Xiao Shufei many years ago when he was so moved. Looking at the young and light girl in front of him, the smoke is flowing like smoke, and his thin lips are slightly red, as if he has seen her somewhere. He said, "Look up."
Yao Yulu looked up slightly and hooked Li Qingxiao's heart. Li Qingxiao then asked: Which palace are you?
"People's women claim to be people's women, and they are the show girls of Taoyuan Hall this year." Yao Yulu answered a little playfully.
"Do you still want such an unseen beauty in this Taoyuan Hall? But I think I've seen you somewhere.
Yao Yujiao is very satisfied with this. This sister is worthy of being the daughter of the Lin family. She dances like a flying swallow. Her light and pleasant posture is so beautiful. Looking at the emperor's look, today's work is not in vain.
Yao Yujiao quickly interrupted and said, "Yulu, why are you so careless? I know that you have always liked to practice dancing to relieve boredom, but you don't choose a time, and ask the emperor to forgive your sister." After saying that, she also hurriedly said.
The emperor heard that it was Yao Yujiao's sister, and her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. It could be seen that Yao Yulu's shy face made him smile again and said, "Get up. It turned out to be Yufei's sister, but I didn't expect her dancing skills to be better than your sister."
Yao Yulu smiled shyly and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for your praise."
"Why don't you dance for me again?" Li Qingxiao's interest increased greatly and asked.
Yao Yulu nodded gently and said, "The people's women don't jump well. Please laugh."
Yao Yujiao saw this and seemed to have almost arranged it. She said, "Your Majesty, my concubine is a little uncomfortable and will rest in Yuxia Hall first."
Li Qingxiao mistakenly thought that Yao Yujiao had eaten her sister's jealousy and laughed, "Go ahead. I'll go with you in the evening."
Yao Yu charmingly blinked at the emperor and left with the maid of honor, leaving the emperor and the personal internal prison alone.
Yao Yulu leaned around a few times, stepped on the fine dance steps, looked back with a charming smile, and slightly nod full of tenderness. She danced up and down the fan in her hand with the bamboo leaves, drawing tender lines in the forest with the jumps again and again.
After the dance, Li Qingxiao smiled with satisfaction and applauded, "This time, it seems that Yao Xiunu is even more beautiful."
Yao Yulu no longer shuddened as before and replied decently, "The emperor has praised it."
"It's a little cold. Why do you practice dancing here?" Li Qingxiao has always been suspicious and casually treat such a beautiful woman, but he can't help but feel a little confused.
"People's women have been practicing dancing since they were young, and they are afraid that they will be strange."
"So that's it. Your name is Yulu?" Li Qingxiao seemed to be very satisfied and asked with a slight smile.
"Exactly, the name of the people's name is Yao Yulu." Yao Yulu thought to herself that it seemed that the painstaking efforts in the past few days were not in vain. Looking at the emperor's appearance, she seemed to have been distracted by herself.
Li Qingxiao looked up at the sky. It was almost dinner time. He was a little nostalgic for the girl in front of him, so he invited, "Yulu, how about accompanying me to eat together?"
Yao Yulu was full of joy when she heard this, but she was a little embarrassed: "The emperor just allowed the Jade Concubine to accompany her, if the people disturb..."
Before Yao Yulu finished speaking, Li Qingxiao interrupted, "It doesn't matter. Your sister won't blame you. Come and go with me."
"Xiao Yuzi, put my cloak on Yao Xiunu. At the end of spring, the weather is still slightly cold and easy to get sick."
Yao Yulu was flattered. She didn't expect the emperor to have such a heart. The internal supervisor beside the emperor hurried over and put the gorgeous shawl on Yao Yulu's shoulder.
It can be seen that Yao Yulu really fascinated the emperor a little. Isn't that true? The emperor will not take her warmth to heart.
Yao Yulu followed Li Qingxiao with a light smile and walked to the Qiankun Hall where the emperor lived.
The maid of honor she met along the way stole the envious eyes of Yao Yulu. I'm afraid that this girl she has never met will fly to the sky again today. Yao Yulu's heart was full of mixed feelings. How long she waited for this day and how long she read it, and she almost didn't know it. She only remembered that since she danced at her father's celebration banquet last time, she had no chance to talk to the emperor. Today, her sister's jade concubine created such a good opportunity for her, thanks to Shuidong's help. She was so loved by the emperor, but she always felt some inexplicable sadness in her heart, but she was quickly covered by the sudden imperial pet.
The luxury of this Qiankun Hall is probably unmatched by any other hall in the palace. The left and right rows of the garden in front of the hall are lush golden **, and behind it is an elegant bamboo forest. The yellow and green colors make the garden vibrant. The garden is covered with good white jade pebbles, and the ground is arranged into In the shape of the four words "the universe is prosperous", the door of the hall is two closed carved dragon and golden gates. As Li Qingxiao walks towards the hall, the white jade of this place is built into bricks, and four golden pillars stand at the four corners of the house, which is extremely luxurious.
"Smaller than son, give me a seat."
Yao Yulu was a little cowardly when she entered this universe hall. After all, the man in front of her was a high-profile emperor. Although she had had several fates before, such a close distance to the emperor's bedroom made her a little unsufferable.
"I see that you are a little nervous. Is I that scary?" Li Qingxiao asked with a smile.
Yao Yulu hurriedly replied, "The woman has lost her temper, please forgive me."
Li Qingxiao saw that she was still a little nervous and liked it even more. This class of beautiful girls have their own advantages, and the one in front of her is even better and a little shy.
After a while, I saw that the internal supervisor came in from the outside of the hall, and there were more delicious dishes. Yao Yulu had seen this royal dinner with the jade concubine last time, but it was really inferior to the emperor's dinner. There were a lot of abalone fins and bird's nest red ginseng, which was enough. Ten dishes.
Before the meal, my father-in-law picked up a thin silver needle and inserted it into each dish. He checked it very carefully and invited the emperor to eat after checking it.
Li Qingxiao said, "I haven't heard Yufei mention your sister before, but I have heard the second sister of the Yao family several times."
"Maybe my little sister is older. Soon after she was sensible, she entered the palace."
"Indeed, but such a beauty, General Yao hid so well that he was only seen by me today." Li Qingxiao said with great interest.
Yao Yu appeared shyly: "The emperor has praised the people's women several times today, and I'm afraid the people's women will be ashamed."
"There is no joke, what I said is the truth."
In fact, Li Qingxiao is always a little afraid of the woman of the Yao Guozhang family. After all, if another Miss Yao family becomes a favorite concubine, Yao Guozhang's power in the court will only be in the sun, but the girl in front of him is a rare appearance of shy flowers, a sinking fish and falling geese, and the girl's natural beauty In fact, he can't bear to be harsh.
Yao Yulu ate a very hard dinner. She tried her best to maintain etiquette and look generous. It seems that it is really not easy to be an emperor's woman.
After dinner, Yao Yulu said goodbye to the emperor and returned to the Taoyuan Hall.
As soon as he entered the wing room, he saw Ji Shuidong asked anxiously, "Sister, why did you come back so late?"
Yao Yulu smiled happily and said, "Just now, I had dinner with the emperor."
Ah? Did your sister succeed? Great, the hard work these days has not been in vain. Ji Shuidong's happiness at this moment was really from the bottom of her heart. She was as happy as Yao Yulu when she saw that her sister, who usually took good care of her, got the opportunity to step down.
"It's not a success yet, but it's just more attention from the emperor." Yao Yulu's words are indeed reasonable. After all, the emperor's love for you at first sight is simple, but the key is to fall in love with you at first sight.
"That's also very beneficial to the future draft. Sister, you must seize this rare opportunity."
"Sister, don't worry, I can succeed this time thanks to my sister's help. If the emperor really spoils me in the future, my sister will definitely not forget my sister."
After this time, Yao Yulu felt that Ji Shuidong was sincere to herself and did not compete with the emperor's favor with her more and tried her best to help her. How could she not be moved?
"My sister is mediocre, and it will be a blessing for several lifetimes to make a promise." Ji Shuidong said calmly.
"You always despise yourself like this. In time, the emperor will see your good."
"That's even better. If our sisters can be loved by the emperor, the two of us will not compete, and life in the harem will be better."
The two good sisters, who are both beautiful women, cherish each other and care for each other in this cold harem, which seems to be a rare thing.
On the other side, Yao Yujiao was sitting by the lounge chair and saw her close maid Bier rushing in and said, "Mother, I'm here to inquire."
Yao Yujiao gently brushed the tea with the lid of the cup and asked slightly, "Well, have you eaten with the emperor?"
"The lady expects everything to be like God, that's exactly what it is."
Yao Yujiao curled the corners of her mouth proudly, and it seemed that there was no deviation in everything.
The second day, the news that Yao Yulu was invited by the emperor to eat spread throughout the palace. Just as Liu Feifei stayed with the emperor that day, the waste nobles in the palace promised to send generous gifts one after another, and soon filled the west room where Yao Yulu lived. After all, who can win over the harem first. Anyone who is spoiled can climb faster.
Ji Shuidong has never seen so much jewelry, and the silver jade satin can't help but be full of envy: "Sister, these are all good things."
Yao Yulu took these things lightly. Although she had never owned them in the house, she had seen a lot. It was difficult to receive these things outside her mother when she entered the palace. She was not so fond of these treasures.
"Sister, pick it when you see what you like. There are so many things that I can't use up, and these fabrics. I think this light pink snow forging is very suitable for you, and these two blue cigarette yarns are used by my sister to make skirts. There are many times when I use them in the future."
Ji Shuidong didn't expect that this sister was even willing to share these good things with her, and the emotion in her heart was much deeper. She said, "Sister, you are so kind to me."
"There is nothing to worry about between our sisters. I just don't want to repay you for your help." Yao Yulu's words are even more in her heart. She really regards the girl in front of her as her sister.
