Chapter 42 Summoned by the Empress Dowager
Yao Yulu came to the front hall with Ji Shuidong. The training stopped for a few days and saw that the talent show was coming. I'm afraid it was the last time in front of him. Lv Panxiao had not yet arrived, but the girls surrounded Yao Yulu in the middle.
"I said that Sister Yao was an extraordinary person and was invited by the emperor to eat." Lan Yan, the most mediocre among these beautiful women, said.
"Sister Yao's beauty will only be pleasing to the emperor sooner or later." The speaker is Lian Xingyue, the daughter of Qu Zhou Zhifu.
"Our list of beautiful women is really talented, but I think our sister Yao is the best to win the lottery!" Sun Xinger, who made friends with Lan Yanlian Xingyue, said.
There are many people who came up with the trend of Liu Feifei before, but in Yao Yulu's opinion, they are not smart. If they win over one and flatter one like this, they are afraid that they will only offend people in the end, but these actresses have not thought so much, but they are thinking about who has been favored by the empress dowager. If you flatter someone, you always think it's a useful day.
"Six beautiful women have been rewarded. Yulu is a mediocre person, and it is a blessing for Yulu to be able to eat with the emperor."
"Who doesn't want such a blessing?" Liu Feifei walked into the front hall along the main door with an unhappy look on her face. She didn't expect that this was just to accompany the Empress Dowager for a few days. Yao Yulu also met the emperor and won such an honor as accompanying the emperor for dinner. She was both resentful and disappointed. She thought that the emperor's treatment was to give her only a beautiful girl, but now this Yao Yulu, whose family appearance is better than her, actually wants to share this cup of soup with her. How can she feel comfortable?
"Liu Xiunu smiled, which is not comparable to the favor Liu Xiunu received from the emperor." The palace said that the empress dowager came back yesterday. Sure enough, Liu Feifei also returned to the palace. She was very well informed, but she didn't know how she felt when she saw the group of actresses in front of her transferring to Yao Yulu again.
Liu Feifei looked around and saw that Lan Yanlian Xingyue and Sun Xing'er, who went to her room last time to ask for gifts, were surrounded by Yao Yulu at this moment. These women actually behaved like a wall grass, which made her even more angry and unhappy: "Three sisters, have run out of things found from me last time? Looking for Yao Xiunu again?"
This made the three of them extremely embarrassed. Lan Yan wanted to think that it was more appropriate than Lian Xingyue and Sun Xing'er. She quickly said, "If you two sisters can have today, there will be light on our faces as sisters."
Liu Feifei was even more dissatisfied and said, "Your sisters are so many, and it seems that there are many benefits?"
Liu Feifei's words sneered and sarcastic. Yao Yulu didn't like her usual arrogant appearance and said, "Liu Xiunu doesn't have to be like this. I, Yao Yulu, will not be the only one who will be happy in the future, but Liu Feifei."
What else did Liu Feifei want to say? Seeing Lv Pang Xiao coming in from afar, he just squinting angrily at Yao Yulu and turned to stand aside.
And Lan Yanlian Xingyue and Sun Xing'er were extremely embarrassed, but this embarrasssment was just self-fed. The harem followed the wrong and followed the master for his fate, but casting nets everywhere was undoubtedly a fatal injury.
In the other room, the Empress Dowager's close Mother Liu came forward and said, "Empress Dowager, I have asked."
"How's it going?" The Empress Dowager half lay on the lounge chair with a calm face and asked.
Mother Liu took a step forward and said cautiously when she saw that the empress dowager's face was a little gloomy, "I have inquired about it, but yesterday she accompanied the emperor to eat. I heard that it was the emperor who went to the bamboo forest with the jade concubine to enjoy bamboo. On the way, the jade concubine went out of the bamboo forest by herself. Soon after, the emperor took Yao Xiunu back to the Qiankun Hall to eat."
"It seems that Yufei really did it, thinking of pushing her sister to the emperor." The Empress Dowager tried to recall Yao Yulu's appearance, but the girl's appearance was a little beautiful, and it was not surprising to please the emperor, but I'm afraid it would not be so easy without the jade concubine.
"What the Empress Dowager said." Mother Liu replied respectfully.
"Do you know the situation of Yao Yulu's mother's family?" The Empress Dowager has always been a little uncomfortable with the power of the Yao family. At this moment, the other daughter of the Yao family is liked by the emperor again. How can she tolerate it so easily?
"I heard that Yao Xiunu's mother was the famous Lin family in the capital at that time. Her appearance and dancing skills were first-class in the city. Later, she married into Yao Mansion and seemed to be neglected and bullied, and there was only Yao Xiunu, a child." Mother Liu said.
The Empress Dowager nodded and continued, "Find Yao Yulu to the family, and the family has something to say to her." The empress dowager's heart is going to say it in the future. After all, Yufei's mind is on the surface. I'm afraid she won't give up if she doesn't lift this sister to a high place. Although she has seen Yao Yulu before, she doesn't see any name. Today, she wants to see what their sisters are thinking.
"I'm going now." Mother Liu bowed and withdrew from the hall and hurried to the Taoyuan Hall.
As soon as Mother Liu entered the Taoyuan Hall, Lv Panxiao saw her coming up from afar and said, "Mama, please come in quickly. How can you come to us today?" Mother Liu has served the empress dowager for many years, and even the concubines in the palace were very polite to her. Lv Pangxiao was just a small aunt. When she saw Mami Liu coming, she asked politely.
"The Empress Dowager summoned Yao Xiunu to inform her." Mother Liu said, but there was a little unruly in her tone.
"Yao Xiunu? I don't know what the Empress Dowager is looking for her to do? Lv Fanxiao seemed to guess that it was a little related to the emperor's meal yesterday. She was also puzzled that the show girls of this year were so unusual that they climbed to the emperor's love one by one before the draft. No, Yao Yulu somehow had dinner with the emperor again, and the doorway in the middle of the period was really unknown to ordinary people.
"How can we, as slaves, guess the master's thoughts? Aunt Lu, please pass it on for me." Mother Liu didn't want to talk more and urged.
"Okay, Mour, wait a minute, I'll find her." Lv Fanxiao asked for something boring. The people around the empress dowager were not only proud and strict. She walked into the front hall and said beside Yao Yulu, "Yao Xiunu, the empress dowager told you to see you."
Yao Yulu was slightly surprised that the Empress Dowager would meet her alone? I'm afraid it's for yesterday, but it's not uncommon for the emperor to occasionally spoil the women in the palace. She is not familiar with the Empress Dowager. How can she look for her alone?
Yao Yulu did not quite understand the position of the Yao family in the eyes of the empress dowager, so she could not understand this matter, but since the empress dowager was summoned, she could only settle down.
Ji Shuidong asked worriedly, "Sister, won't anything happen?"
Lv Pangxiao was also very moved to see that the two sisters were deeply in love. After all, it was not easy to have such a confidant in this harem. She kindly comforted them, "Don't worry, it's just to ask about yesterday's situation and want to promote you."
But Liu Feifei came over with a sneer and said, " promotion? What I think is beautiful. But I'm afraid it's a daydream, enchanting the emperor. Be careful to give you a big crime, Sister Yao.
Listening to Liu Feifei's sarcasm, Yao Yulu was also unwilling to show weakness and said, "When it comes to the charm of the emperor, Sister Liu, who is a beautiful woman, accompanied the emperor all night. I don't know what is charming compared with Yulu?"
At this time, Mother Liu at the door urged. Yao Yulu squinting at Liu Feifei and turned to follow Mother Liu to Tailin Hall.
Mama Liu was very silent along the way, and Yao Yulu was even more panicked. She was worried about what the Empress Dowager was looking for her and what to do. She thought about how to deal with it. She walked to the door of the Tailin Hall, and Mother Liu asked her to go in.
Yao Yulu saw that the empress dowager was sitting at the table. She came forward and said, "Yao Yulu, the daughter of the people, see the empress dowager, and the empress dowager is happy."
"Come on, sit down." The Empress Dowager informed her to sit at the table.
"Do you know what the family is looking for you today?" The Empress Dowager asked slowly.
Yao Yulu was even more uneasy when she saw that there were only her and the Empress Dowager left in the house. She replied, "The people are stupid. Please make it clear to the Empress Dowager."
"I heard that you had dinner with the emperor yesterday. You had such an opportunity just a few days after entering the palace, and you have been envied by many beautiful women."
"It is a blessing for women to eat with the emperor." Yao Yulu replied humbly.
"You don't have to be so mean to yourself. Yao Xiu is really beautiful. It's common sense to be liked by the emperor. I don't know how she met the emperor yesterday?"
Yao Yulu didn't expect the Empress Dowager to ask so bluntly. She was timid and didn't know how to answer. She saw that there was no way to avoid it for a moment, so she said directly: "Yesterday, when the people's daughter practiced dancing in the bamboo forest, she didn't want to meet the emperor and the jade concubine..."
"It's a coincidence that Yufei is your sister, which has nothing to do with her."
Yao Yulu heard this and had long been scared and lost her color. She pretended to be calm and said, "I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager is a little misunderstood the people, but it's a coincidence."
"I heard that you don't have a high status in your mother's family, but you are very obedient?" The Empress Dowager doesn't want to beat around the bush anymore, and she speaks very directly.
Yao Yulu didn't expect that the Empress Dowager had figured out what was going on at home, and she didn't understand why the meeting on this day was. "The eldest sister is big, and the people's daughter is just the way of her brother."
"Yufei is really good-hearted to you, but I want to know if you are so towards your sister?"
At this time, Yao Yulu actually didn't know how to deal with it. At present, it seems that the empress dowager has seen what she and Yao Yujiao are talking about, and she doesn't know that she hesitated for a moment and said, "What the Empress Dowager said, Yulu is speechless, but to be fair, what Yulu did is also human. As for Yulu Yulu herself can't tell the difference between the relationship with her mother's family. These words come from the bottom of her heart. If she offends the Empress Dowager, Yulu will take the blame.
Yao Yulu summoned up her courage to say this, but what she said was indeed the truth. The reason was that she could see that the empress dowager in front of her was very resourceful. If she continued to think with her, she would only be seen thoroughly, and it was better to say what she thought.
