Chapter 125 Dance for You
"Pang Xiao, your craftsmanship is really good. The emperor is full of praise for the porridge. Now I don't know if it can be as delicious as yours." Yao Yulu said.
"Don't worry, the porridge you made is full of affection. How can it be worse than the maidservant?" Lv Pangxiao joked with a smile.
"You are such nonsense." Yao Yulu's voice was faint, and there was no joy of success at all. It seemed that she just quietly watched what happened in front of her.
Lv Fanxiao looked at Yao Yulu and seemed to understand this thought. At the beginning, she was forced to make such a decision. Thinking that the emperor would kill her indifferently that day, she was afraid that this matter was connected to make Yao Yulu so unhappy at this moment.
But after all, time can change many things. After all, Yao Yulu and the emperor are also husband and wife. After all, it will get better, and Lv Fanxiao is not too worried.
The emperor's dinner in the west hall of Yuemei Palace has spread in the palace. The news from the eyes of the concubines is the fastest. Although Xiao Shufei rarely go out these days, such news also reached her ears at the first time.
Xiao Shufei sat in the hall and was already deeply frowned. Jinfei also hurried over and said with an unhappy face, "Mother, have you heard about it?"
"There is a lot of rumors in the palace, saying that the unfavored royal daughter Yao got the attention of the emperor again. The emperor has also visited the jade concubine. How can this palace not know?" Xiao Shufei said in an angry and hateful tone.
"I don't know who came from the news that Yufei suffered from the disease that day. Now the emperor ordered the imperial doctor to re-diagnose that it was just cough and asthma. Yao Yulu actually confused the emperor to eat with her through this appointment. If the Yao sisters were favored again, it would be even more unfavorable to her." Concubine Jin said this, but in fact, she was even more concerned. At this moment, Yufei and Xiao Shufei were silent in this palace, and the emperor paid a little more attention to her. Unexpectedly, such a thing suddenly happened.
Although Xiao Shufei was still angry, she still seemed calm. She said, "It's just a Yao Yulu. She didn't have dinner with the emperor that day, and in the end she was still unknown."
Hearing Xiao Shufei say this, Jinfei was slightly relieved. The reason why she cares more about Yao Yulu is because of Yao Yulu's mother's status in the court and her sister Jinfei, but Xiao Shufei's words are a little reasonable. She said, "My sister is right. Yufei is just a sick man. It's better to have such a disease. I can't afford it. It's better without a heart disease.
"Hmm, prodigal sisters, not enough to talk about it." Concubine Xiao said arrogantly that even at this moment, it was time for her to lose her favor, and she still did not lose her former temper and spoke as usual.
"What the Empress said." Since she was scared by Xiao Shufei last time, she has been very well-behaved in front of Xiao Shufei, and she dared not offend her.
"What I told you last time, but it's better to implement it quickly, so that in case Yao Yulu is favored and the jade concubine is favored again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do." Xiao Shufei said thoughtfully.
Concubine Jin even claimed that she could only be a pawn for Xiao Shufei. In the past, now, and even more so in the future, such an obedient chess piece, Xiao Shufei always had a grudge because of the offense of Concubine Jin last time. She looked at Concubine Jin, and there was silence in the hall.
In the West Hall, a seductive fragrance of rice floated out of the small kitchen, and Yao Yulu took out the porridge in person. At this time, Li Qingxiao was sitting at the table in the front hall waiting a little boringly. Seeing Yao Yulu holding the porridge in person, he said, "How can you do such a rough job? Xiao Yuzi, take it over.
Xiao Yuzi trotted over the porridge pot and said repeatedly, "Lord, I'm here."
"I was afraid that the emperor would wait in a hurry, so I hurriedly sent it over." Yao Yulu said with a smile.
"You are indeed a little slave. Ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send you a few more tomorrow, so that you can't serve them." Li Qingxiao frowned slightly and said that this depressed hall and the four tightly served slaves really didn't look like a place for a small master.
Li Qingxiao seems to have rarely been to the palace of a concubine like Yao Yulu. He can't stand it, but these are still according to the rules of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Yao Yulu said softly, "Your Majesty, I dare not receive special treatment. These slaves are arranged according to their positions. There are too many I'm afraid it will make others dissatisfied.
Li Qingxiao listened to Yao Yulu's general words, nodded and said, "In this case, it's better to raise the position."
Yao Yulu didn't say anything when she heard this. The concubine in the palace can't be promoted at will without favor. Although Li Qingxiao said so, everything still needs to be discussed again. Yao Yulu said, "Your Majesty, come and try this porridge."
As it is said, the maids have brought in the prepared food from the small kitchen, all of which are refreshing and refreshing. It is the most suitable to eat in this hot weather. After serving the food, the crowd retreated one after another, and Xiao Yuzi also stood at the door and closed the door gently.
Li Qingxiao slowly tasted a mouthful of porridge and immediately said to Yao Yulu with a smile, "I know that it must be refreshing and pleasant to eat. Yulu, your craftsmanship is so good, and you are not spoiled, unlike the people from Yao family."
Yao Yulu was slightly stunned and secretly laughed at herself: her life in Yao's mansion was almost the same as that of the maids, and she grew up more spoiled. Naturally, these rough jobs are not a problem. She said, "The emperor is laughing at my concubine."
Li Qingxiao looked at Yao Yulu's coquettish appearance and couldn't help but be happy and said, "Where do I have it? Come on, you can also eat quickly."
Yao Yulu nodded and also moved her chopsticks.
In the mouth of the refreshing lotus leaf lily porridge, a cool feeling slipped through my heart. Because there were a lot of ice cubes in the hall, the temperature was not as hot as usual. The slight wind blew away the ice, making the whole room cool down.
The bright candlelight shone on Li Qingxiao's face, and Yao Yulu stared quietly. The face did not change at all. The angular outline still revealed a majestic atmosphere. The deep eyes were very bright, slowly eating the food on the table, but with an unmoved look.
On that day, Yao Yulu and Li Qingxiao also shared dinner, but compared with that day, their minds were very different. At that time, not long after entering the palace, I had not seen the cool world in the palace. I was treated by the stars and thought about how to go on the future. On that day, the dance in front of the emperor was so confident and fearless, looking forward to the result.
But today, I have long lost the mind of that day, but I'm afraid that my peaceful life will be far away from me like this, and I'm afraid that the subsequent intrigue gossip will fill my life. Looking at the man in front of him, he is his husband, but he seems to be a stranger far away from the world. He says every word carefully, cares about his joy in every move, and thinks about every little bit. How many feelings are there in it? Yao Yulu can't figure it out or dares to figure it out. For so many years, which of the women in the harem has not come like this, or Yao Yulu has no choice but to go down the slope along the flowing water.
Li Qingxiao saw that Yao Yulu didn't move his chopsticks, but he frowned and didn't know what he was thinking. He asked, "If you don't move your chopsticks, what's on?"
Yao Yulu was stunned and immediately said, "It's like a dream to accompany the emperor to eat. My concubine is secretly happy."
Li Qingxiao smiled and said, "I should be happy to taste such delicious food and be accompanied by a beauty like you."
Yao Yulu smiled shyly and whispered, "How about having such a good mood tonight? Why don't you let my concubine dance for the emperor?"
Li Qingxiao looked at Yao Yulu, his eyes were full of gentleness, and said softly, "I still remember the way you danced gracefully, and I still miss you so far. What you said has aroused my interest even more."
Yao Yulu smiled, bowed her head slightly, and stood in the middle of the front hall and danced leisurely.
Yao Yulu slowly raised her arms, leaned down and raised her head, and jumped up like beating notes, but she saw a smile full of affection, as if she was interpreting this dance with her heart. The melodious movements are suddenly like a flower blooming and trembling flowers; suddenly like a frightening deer; and suddenly like a peacock with high eyes.
Yao Yulu is doing her best to dance this dance. Today, she has done everything and is waiting for the dance to add a icing on the cake at this moment. These days' efforts and sweat have been put into practice at this moment. Yao Yulu saw that Li Qingxiao's face became more and more blurred, which was like dancing in the bamboo forest.
Li Qingxiao couldn't take his eyes off the moving dance. As soon as he finished dancing, Li Qingxiao couldn't help sighing: "'There are beautiful women in southern China, light green waist dancing.' Yulu, you really surprised me, but I didn't expect the dancing to be even better than before. Is this dance "Ailian's Talk"?
Yao Yulu's forehead came out of fine sweat. Although there was ice in the room, she couldn't stand such a dance. She looked at Li Qingxiao's face and knew it from that look. It seemed that Li Qingxiao had been immersed in this dance at this moment. Such a result was not unexpected. Yao Yulu's these days I wonder if it's worth trying to get the smile from the corners of Li Qingxiao's mouth?
Yao Yulu smiled slightly and said, "It was the "Ailian's Words" that the Empress of Anhui had skipped, which made the emperor laugh."
Li Qingxiao stood up, gently held Yao Yulu's hands, and his face was full of tenderness. He said, "Yulu, your dance is really outstanding in this deep palace, and you are so beautiful and talented. You are really a beautiful person. I just found your kindness at this moment. It's really my fault."
Yao Yulu was not moved by these words. Li Qingxiao is the king of a country. What kind of beautiful woman has never seen? But Li Qingxiao was willing to say such sweet words to herself, and Yao Yulu was also a little contented. She said, "The emperor has a good reputation. How can my concubine afford such praise?"
Li Qingxiao stretched out his finger and gently put it on Yao Yulu's lips. Yao Yulu was slightly shocked. The two looked at each other and their hearts beat in a panic. They only heard Li Qingxiao say, "Yulu, you can stand it."
Yao Yulu was slightly shocked at this moment, but she didn't understand how she felt about the man in front of her. Although she is her husband, how dare she easily deliver her sincerity? She looked at Li Qingxiao's handsome face, and there was a trace of bitterness in her heart. If they were an ordinary couple, how could they need to work so hard at this moment? But this is the emperor. This man is the king of a country of the Liang Dynasty. How can he be sincere to his little woman?
