Chapter 131 Chengjun's exclusive favorite
Seeing that Li Qingxiao's attitude was so resolute, the empress dowager knew that no matter how much she quarreled, she was afraid that she would only be stiff. She could only continue to persuade: "Then the emperor should also worry about the thoughts of other concubines. What will others think if he has been entangled in Yuemei Palace these days?"
Li Qingxiao was even more tired when listening to the empress dowager's words. Originally, the empress dowager asked him to mention Liu Feifei again and again and again. Now he feels sorry for a concubine who has to be instructed by the empress dowager. He really can't suppress his anger and said, "My son will follow the empress dowager's instructions. There are still some things to deal with in the Qiankun Hall. My son goes first. Retired."
After saying that, Li Qingxiao returned to the Qiankun Hall without waiting for any reaction, leaving the empress dowager to stare dryly and gasped for breath.
The next day, Xiao Qiuzi of the Ministry of Internal Affairs brought many eunuchs to the West Hall of Yuemei Palace, saying that he asked Yao Yulu to choose a few effective palace people.
"Yao Guiren, these are all smart people who are selected by slaves. Look at them and put them here to serve in the West Hall." Xiao Qiuzi said respectfully and did not dare to neglect the new nobleman in front of him.
Yao Yulu looked at the people standing in front of her, looked at Lv Panxiao beside him and said, "You can pick a few."
After all, Lv Pangxiao is an old man in this palace. He is always sure that there will be no big mistake. He doesn't want to see the essence for a while, but he can more or less choose a good eunuch who does a good job.
Lv Pan Xiaodao should claim that he went to this row of eunuchs and looked up and down, pointing to the six maids who looked clean and correct. He chose four eunuchs to stay and said, "Little lord, it's good for me to be these people."
Yao Yulu looked up and down at the six people in front of her, nodded and said to Xiao Qiuzi, "I'm sorry to bother you, Grandpa Qiu, just these people."
Xiao Qiuzi nodded quickly and said, "As long as Yao Guiren is satisfied. If you have anything missing here, please tell me."
Yao Yulu looked around the hall and was indeed a little lonely. She asked, "Why hasn't there been any news since she said she was going to move to Xinghui Palace?"
Xiao Qiuzi said, "After returning to the nobles, the west hall of Xinghui Palace has been uninhabited for a long time. The emperor said that the display was a little dilapidated and let the slaves replace them with new ones and resurface the ground. It has not been cleaned up yet. It is really my fault of the slaves to delay the past."
So it is. Yao Yulu secretly sighed that the Xinghui Palace is very close to the Qiankun Hall, and the layout is also very elegant and rich. It is already excellent. Even in this way, it has to be cleaned up again. It seems that the emperor's attention to himself is really not the heat of three days and two. Thinking of this, Yao Yulu raised a sweet smile on the corners of his mouth. He said again, "That's it. I'll bother Mr. Qiu to bring me a few pots of magnolias later. The garden of the West Hall is too deserted and looks colorless."
"It's really polite. I'll bring it to you." Duke Qiu nodded and said, and hurried out of the West Hall.
Yao Yulu looked at the few people who had just left, slowly took a sip of tea and said, "You will be my people in the future. It's not easy to be a slave. It's easier to be a servant here, but there is indeed something that must be missing. Do you know what it is?"
The slaves looked at each other in con sight. Only the clever eunuch saw that no one spoke, and then said, "I think I should be loyal to the little master."
Yao Yulu turned her head slightly and said to Lv Pangxiao beside her, "Reward."
The little eunuch didn't want to be rewarded by the new master just by saying this and quickly thanked him, "Thank you for your grace."
Yao Yulu nodded and said, "What's your name?"
"My name is Xiao Yunzi."
"Well, what Xiao Yunzi said is exactly what I want to say. As a messenger in the West Hall, as long as you are loyal to me, I will not treat you badly, but if someone is willing to serve me and take care of other masters, don't blame me for not being able to keep you." Yao Yulu continued to say that several people of His Highness looked slightly afraid. They thought that if Yao Yulu hadn't given them a majesty when they had just entered the West Hall, it would only cause trouble to discipline them in the future.
"You should keep in mind what the little master said, but do you know?" Lv Panxiao added beside him.
Several newcomers quickly saw Lv Panxiao's position in this West Hall at a glance, and did not dare to respond at all: "The slaves will definitely do their best for the little master and won't let the little master bother."
Yao Yulu nodded, her face softened a little, and said with a smile, "You have such a heart, it's excellent. Pang Xiao, one person will give you a piece of silver, all retreat, and listen to Pang Xiao's arrangement for you later."
When everyone saw this, although Yao Yulu gave them a power as soon as they came up, they were extremely generous. As soon as they gave it, it was an ingot of silver. It seemed that he was also a small master with clear grudges, and did not look like deliberately difficult people.
When the slaves who newly arrived in the West Hall withdrew, Yao Yulu said to Lv Fangxiao, "There are so many people in this hall all of a sudden. You still have to arrange it. You still have to take care of the things in my room. If you are the others, you will always be a little unbearable."
Lv Panxiao said, "I understand what the little master means, so don't worry."
"Well, you can take them to familiarize themselves with the work of the West Hall." Yao Yulu ordered, and his face showed tiredness. Taking advantage of this afternoon, he couldn't help sleeping comfortably. He lay in ** and fell asleep in a short time.
When she woke up, a strong fragrance of magnolia floated in from the window. Yao Yulu got up and opened the window and looked out. She saw four pots of blooming white magnolia in the garden. The faint fragrance filled the garden, adding a lot of color to the originally dull West Hall.
Goodbye, the garden is no longer a quiet scene at this time. The new slave was cleaning and tidying up the garden under the guidance of Lv Pangxiao. Looking at the West Hall, which suddenly became hot, Yao Yulu was still a little uncomfortable.
In the evening, Li Qingxiao found Yao Yulu again and had turned over Yao Yulu's brand for several days. Many concubines in the palace complained about this, but Li Qingxiao did not care. The more the Empress Dowager obstructed, the more she followed her own meaning. The relationship between mother and son was more or less because Yao Yulu gave birth to mustard. Ti.
Yao Yulu knew that Li Qingxiao still turned over her brand today. Early in the morning, she prepared the pumpkin lily sugar water made by herself. She wanted to drink a bowl after the emperor came, and left a few exquisite small cakes for supper.
After these days, Yao Yulu's feelings for Li Qingxiao seem to have undergone subtle changes. She can't understand her heart, but she always feels that there is a warmth in front of Li Qingxiao, and the frequency of heart beating is a little faster.
"The emperor is here." Xiao Xuanzi shouted at the door.
Yao Yulu didn't expect Li Qingxiao to come so early. She hurriedly sorted out her clothes and got up to meet her. Li Qingxiao slowly came from the garden. There were lanterns hanging in the garden. Every night, there would always be people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hang the red silk lantern in the garden. If people outside see the red lights in any hall, they will know that the concubine is going to bed today.
The red light emitted by the lantern shone on Li Qingxiao's face, and the light and shadow flashed with mottled markings. Li Qingxiao wore a pale yellow robe with a dragon pattern embroidered on it. Under the flash of red light, it seemed to shine, and Yingwu's face was covered with a faint light.
Yao Yulu looked at the person in front of her and couldn't help but be a little intoxicated. She forgot that the rules did not be safe, but looked at them infatuatedly.
Li Qingxiao approached Yao Yulu with a smile and said, "Silly girl, what are you looking at?"
Yao Yulu was pulled back to her spirit by this voice and quickly bowed down and said, "I have seen the emperor for a moment. Please forgive me."
Li Qingxiao looked at Yao Yulu affectionately and said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that you don't need to salute me when you arrive at this West Hall?"
Yao Yu showed shyness and said in a sweet voice, "It was Yulu who panicked and forgot. Why did the emperor come so early today?"
"I saw that the memorial had been approved early in the morning, so I want to come with you earlier." Li Qingxiao said and led Yao Yulu into the hall together.
The hall is filled with the aroma of magnolia flowers, and there is a flashing candle lit up the front hall. Yao Yulu and Li Qingxiao sat on the bed in the front hall. There are several newly folded magnolia flowers in the middle of the small square table between the two. These magnolia flowers were sent by thousands of people by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They are new varieties of tribute from the South China before. Compared with ordinary magnolia, it is more fragrant and pleasant. I heard that the emperor knew that Yao Yulu liked magnolia very much and specially asked several good plants selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"The magnolia in your room tastes very fragrant, which matches the style of the West Hall." Li Qingxiao smelled the charming smell in the air and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him.
Yao Yulu gently fiddled with a few magnolias on the table and said, "This magnolia flower is cold and clean, and it is not stained and dirty. Yulu likes it very much."
Li Qingxiao nodded and said, "There is also a word 'jade' in your name, which is also a beautiful woman, which is more suitable for this magnolia."
Yao Yulu blushed and said, "I'm afraid Yulu can't stand the emperor's praise for Yulu like this."
"Where did I say empty words, I said it sincerely." Li Qingxiao said sincerely.
"Your Majesty, Yulu has prepared pumpkin lily sugar water and some snacks to make supper for the emperor." Yao Yulu said with a smile.
Li Qingxiao was very interested. Maybe it was because Yao Yulu was also interested in plain rice. He said with great interest, "Your craftsmanship is so good, and you must be good at food."
After a while, Ninger and Wuer brought up the sugar water and snacks. Li Qingxiao took a few bites, and his index finger moved more and more. After drinking a bowl of sugar water, Yao Yulu added a bowl.
"Yulu saw that the emperor likes it very much. This sugar water is just right to drink in autumn. Pumpkin moistens the lungs and replenishes the qi, and the lily nourishes the mind." Yao Yulu said.
"I know a lot about you, and I know it from all sides. I'm really a truly talented woman." Li Qingxiao listened to Yao Yulu's words and couldn't help but feel deeply.
"It's just fur." Yao Yulu said with a smile on her face.
"Well, when I come to you every night, I feel much happier. I really don't know what magic you have cast." Li Qingxiao closed his eyes for a moment and joked.
"Yulu is just a sincere treat for the emperor. He wants to be happy, but he doesn't want to be around." Yao Yulu said what was on her mind, but her face couldn't help blushing.
"Well, I'm glad to say that."
