Chapter 128 Occupy the King's Heart
The main hall of Fangxi Palace suddenly became dead. Xiao Shufei fell on the chair and held the medicine bowl in her hand. Her eyes left a row of crystal tears. She closed her eyes tightly and toss the medicine bowl to the ground. At the moment when the bowl fell to the ground, Concubine Jin couldn't help screaming, and the fragments and screams were mixed with the room. Seven The scattered fragments are scattered on the ground, which is more like the heart of Xiao Shufei at this moment.
"Yao Yulu, this bitch!" Xiao Shufei's expression changed from sadness to anger, and her eyebrows twisted and scolded angrily.
Concubine Jin was also a little helpless when she looked at Xiao Shufei's appearance. She could only follow Xiao Shufei and gently persuade her, "Yao Yulu is just a momentary gain of power. Don't be too angry."
In fact, Concubine Jin is also very worried about Yao Yulu's rise to power like this. Originally, even if she was not very favored in front of the emperor, she was able to get to this day thanks to Xiao Shufei's promotion. Although she was a little hot-headed and offended Xiao Shufei before, she still relies on Xiao Shufei now. Now Yao Yulu is favored. If the east wind rises again, it will never be a good thing for her or Yu Xiao Shufei.
"How can I not be angry? The mind that I have prepared for so many days is actually bad in the hands of this bitch. She and her sister are both seduced the emperor's bitch!" The more Xiao Shufei scolded, the more angry she became. She remembered Yao Yulu's face and couldn't wait to tear it up.
"This... Mother, what should I do now? Concubine Jin also had no eyesight. At this time, she picked out the question that annoyed Xiao Shufei the most.
Sure enough, Xiao Shufei was even more angry when she heard this. She frowned and scolded angrily, "How do I know what to do? I don't even know whether it's right or wrong for me to promote you!"
Concubine Jin was so shocked by Xiao Shufei's shocking roar that she dared not say more. She closed her voice and said nothing.
Xiao Shufei sat by the bed and couldn't help sighing. There were even a few blue veins on her forehead, and her inexhaustible anger was very fing.
I don't know how long it took, the air in the main hall seemed to condense, and even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly. Xiao Shufei say, "Well, how can I admit defeat like this? There is still a lot of time."
Concubine Jin didn't dare to say more and could only claim that she was. Xiao Shufei stood up and walked out of the hall without attention to the people behind her. It was really difficult for her to swallow this anger. She, who had been arrogant in the palace for many years, now fell down one after another. There seemed to be a burning flame in her heart. No matter how Such anger can't be dissipated.
As soon as Yao Yulu returned to the West Hall, she quickly prepared dinner with the slaves. The emperor came to her for two nights in a row and had already been looked at by the people in the palace. The slaves of the West Hall were also full of joy when they saw the current situation of the little master.
"Lord, what are you going to prepare tonight?" Wu'er asked.
Yao Yulu thought for a moment and said, "How about hitting the side stove?"
Lv Fanxiao laughed and said, "The little master is really thoughtful. The emperor usually doesn't eat such things. I think it will be a little new to see the emperor."
Yao Yulu also had an idea and suddenly thought of the scene of hitting the side stove in the Taoyuan Hall before saying this idea. However, the side stove is hot and easy to catch fire in summer. She thought for a moment and said, "Use goji berries with green vegetables as the bottom of the pot, so as to clear the heat and remove the fire, even in this weather."
Ninger said, "The little master is kind-hearted. If you add some deer antler, fish fillets and oysters, it will definitely be fresh and delicious."
"Well, if there is any lack of ingredients, I will go to the imperial dining room to look for it. It is said that the emperor will eat in the West Hall at night and make it by himself in the small kitchen of the West Hall." Lv Pangxiao ordered.
A group of slaves were already busy. Yao Yulu saw that she had already guessed that the emperor would arrive later, so she sat at the table and did embroidery.
Who would have thought that the emperor had entered the gate of the West Hall at this time? Xiao Xuanzi quickly bowed down and asked An: "I will see the emperor, and the emperor will be blessed."
Yao Yulu was slightly shocked when she heard Xiao Xuanzi's voice asking for peace. She didn't expect the emperor to come so early and go to Jinfei's place to visit her so quickly? However, she couldn't help but be secretly happy. The emperor really kept the agreement with herself. She was worried that the emperor would stay there if she went to the Fangxi Palace like this, for fear that the emperor would not come at night.
Yao Yulu quickly put down her work and came out of the hall to welcome him: "I will see the emperor, and the emperor will be blessed."
Li Qingxiao smiled and said with a very gentle look on his face: "Get up, why is there only one slave left in your palace?"
Yao Yulu said, "I heard that the emperor came to the West Hall for dinner. I thought it would be better to eat in the stove, so I asked them to prepare the materials."
As soon as Li Qingxiao heard "playing the side stove", he suddenly had a lot of interest and asked enthusiastically, "Doing the side stove? I haven't eaten it for many years. Yulu, you really have a lot of ideas, just in time to meet my thoughts.
Yao Yulu smiled more deeply. Sure enough, the emperor became interested as soon as he heard it. There is a folk saying, "Only by retaining a man's stomach can you keep a man's heart." Presumably, it must be the same with this emperor. Yao Yulu was secretly happy and said, "It's great that the emperor likes that. I'm afraid that I will waste my time."
Li Qingxiao slowly stepped forward and took Yao Yulu's hand and said softly, "How can I waste my time? It's very happy to accompany you with meals."
Yao Yulu was stunned when she heard this. She raised her head and stared at Li Qingxiao and said, "The emperor really thinks so. That minister and concubine is really moved."
Li Qingxiao said gently, "There is no outsider between husband and wife. There is no need to restrain etiquette, no need to have a concubine."
Yao Yulu was even more stunned after hearing this. Li Qingxiao said this, which showed that she liked herself a little at this moment. She said, "Since the emperor said so, it's better to obey than to obey."
The two happily entered the West Hall, but as soon as they entered the hall, Li Qingxiao frowned and asked, "Why is it getting sultry in the hall again?"
Although it is already early autumn, Huangcheng is still a little hot. If the ice cubes that have not cooled down, it will not be much better than in summer. Yesterday, the ice cubes were sent by the emperor to the West Hall of Internal Affairs, but today the ice cubes have been used up, but no one has delivered them.
Yao Yulu slowly lowered her eyes and said, "Yesterday's ice has run out, so the hall is a little hot, but it's already early autumn, and it's much better."
Li Qingxiao looked even more stunned after hearing this: "Isn't there no ice in your West Hall to reduce the summer?"
Yao Yulu nodded and said coquettishly, "Isn't it that the emperor dislikes Yulu here..."
After hearing this, Li Qingxiao smiled again with an angry face and said, "What are you talking about? It seems that the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is too careless to do the facts. Xiao Yuzi ordered the removal of the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as the eunuch of the laundry room and replace him with a smart person.
Xiaozi did not dare to neglect at all. Even claiming that he was, he couldn't help sighing that the general manager really had no eyesight. Now Yao Yulu is getting the emperor's heart and dares to neglect like this. How can the emperor not be angry in his eyes?
"Why does the emperor need to be so angry? It's just a trivial matter..." Yao Yulu Yiyi persuaded.
"What's the small matter? Although you are not in a high position, you are still my concubine. How dare you be so neglected and punished in the future?"
Yao Yulu smiled and said, "Then it's good for the emperor to say so. Don't be in a bad mood for such a trivial matter."
Yao Yulu and Li Qingxiao sat together in the front hall. Li Qingxiao said, "I heard from the royal doctor that after treating Yufei well today, she said that it was not a big problem, and she would recover after a few days."
Yao Yulu was even more relieved after hearing this. If Yao Yujiao's body is not good for a day, she can't let go. If there is really a long and two short story, she can't say that her heart is not good, and her father can't explain it.
"This is excellent, and the emperor has bothered me." Yao Yulu poured a cup of tea for Li Qingxiao and said.
The two sat at the table, talking and laughing. Time seemed to pass quickly, like a white horse passing through a gap. Occasionally, a breeze blew through the hall, and a row of bells in front of the window jingled, accompanied by the laughter from the hall with pleasant notes, envying the lonely people sitting in the boudoir in the side palace.
It was getting dark. Lv Fangxiao brought in the prepared stove. There were stacks of ingredients on the table, placed them with small white jade dishes, and two small bowls of seasonings. He said respectfully, "Your Majesty, little master, please eat."
After saying that, he led Ninger Wuer out of the front hall and gently closed the door.
Li Qingxiao looked at the table of delicious food in front of him with great interest and asked, "What's in this stove?"
Yao Yulu picked up her chopsticks and pointed gently and said, "This is oysters, fish fillets, deer antler, mackerel, chrysanthem, etc. The soup is put wolfberries, ** to reduce the heat, and you are not afraid of getting angry if you eat it."
Li Qingxiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yulu, you know so much that you even know the matching of ingredients. I really look at you with new eyes."
Yao Yulu said with a smile, "People say, 'Don't treat each other with new eyes for three days'. The emperor said goodbye to Yulu in those days before, and he should have looked at Yulu."
"It was my mistake that I didn't find your pearl until now." Li Qingxiao's eyes were full of tenderness, and he looked at Yao Yulu and said.
Yao Yulu blushed shyly and said, "Your Majesty, eat quickly."
The two talked and laughed while having dinner. Li Qingxiao missed the time with Yao Yulu. It seemed that he had left all his troubles behind. The time was happy and relaxed, and the indescribable love was implicit in the words.
After dinner, Li Qingxiao returned to the Qiankun Hall. He still did not turn over the sign of the concubine beside him, nor did he stay with Yao Yulu. His thoughts were all on Yao Yulu at this time. He had no intention to favor other concubines, so he simply spent the night alone.
Lv Fanxiao approached the front hall and wiped the vase in the hall and said, "The emperor has been eating with the little master for two days in a row, and he has not turned over other people's signs for two days in a row. In this palace, it is said that the emperor's thoughts are all about the little master, and he doesn't even turn over the signs of others."
Yao Yulu smiled bleakly and said, "This is not a good thing. I'm afraid it will be the target of public criticism if it goes on like this."
"The emperor's mind can't stand it, and the little master can only walk step by step and walk cautiously." Lv Pangxiao said uneasily.
"Yes, what can I do? Come on, I'm going to Yuxia Palace to have a look." Yao Yulu said.
"It's this time. Why don't you go tomorrow?" Lv Pangxiao said when she saw that it was getting late.
"I can't rest assured about Yufei. Let's go at this time." Yao Yulu said, thinking of her sister's haggard appearance, Yao Yulu was even more worried and determined to go to Yuxia Palace to have a look.
Lv Panxiao didn't say anything more when he saw the situation. After changing his clothes, he went to Yuxia Palace together.
