Chapter 135 The Joy of Housewarming (50 plus update)
Yao Yulu's eyes were slightly moist, but there was a smile on the corners of her mouth. Presumably this was the arrangement entrusted by Li Qingxiao to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Otherwise, others would not know that she liked this magnolia. The smile on her face became deeper and deeper. Li Qingxiao treated her like this, which was really not thin.
"Little Lord, this door is engraved with your favorite magnolia." Ninger said with a smile.
Yao Yulu nodded and slowly opened the door of the West Hall, brushed the carved magnolia patterns on the door, and went in. Although the trees in the hall had been defeated, there were many flowers and plants, mostly magnolia.
The house of the West Hall is also elegant. There is no golden and red ochre color, but also with green and jade color with a light and elegant coupling color. The late autumn sun shines in the hall, and the faint gold flashes like wheat, making the whole hall more transparent and bright.
Yao Yulu slowly dispersed in the hall and gently brushed a scene by thing. From time to time, an elaborate small detail made her smile. Yao Yulu was really happy with the West Hall of Xinghui Palace.
"Little Lord, are you satisfied? The emperor put up a lot of ideas to repair the West Hall. Grandpa Qiu asked flatteringly.
Yao Yulu nodded, "I can feel the emperor's heart. It's really an exquisite work."
"The slave retired first." Grandpa Qiu said and slowly retreated.
Yao Yulu sat aside and rested. She saw the maids of honor in the hall busy cleaning up, a happy scene.
In the evening, the former concubine invited the people of Xinghui Palace to gather in the main hall to celebrate Yao Yulu's housewarming.
The sky is getting darker, and a cold wind blows from time to time. There is already a bleak scene outside the house, but the hall is still red and not affected by the cold autumn. The five little masters are sitting at the round wooden table, and the table is full of all kinds of delicious food and a pot of plum carvings.
Concubine Zeng still smiled and said, "This plum carving is just hot. Let your sisters relieve their chills and have a drink."
Everyone claimed their gratitude. The maids next to them offered carved wine for several little masters. The smell of wine came to their faces. The sour and sweet taste of plums was accompanied by it. There was a slight warmth on the tip of the tongue, and they felt hot in their stomachs.
Concubine Yue is very attached to the aroma of this wine and took another sip of food. "This plum carving is the best to drink in autumn and winter, and it warms up all over."
"This is the first time for my concubine to drink this wine, but I didn't expect that the taste was slightly sweet, not as bitter as ordinary wine." Yao Yulu also felt that it was very warm and sweet to drink, and said.
"Where can you call a concubine? If your sisters get together for a meal, you don't have to be polite." Concubine Zeng said politely.
"Yes, it seems that Yao Guiren can't forget his noble identity all the time." The harmonious atmosphere was suddenly frozen by Lian Xingyue's words. Yao Yulu glanced at her, but she quietly put a mouthful of vegetables into her mouth, slowly chewed and swallowed it slowly. It was the right person who said, "What Liancai said is that it is really time to remember your identity, although it is her own sister, you Isn't it disrespectful to ridicul your sister who is higher than you?
In a word, others have seen that the relationship between Yao Yulu and Lian Xingyue is very bad, and they have to be quiet for a while at this dinner table.
"Okay, let's say less." The concubine Yue advised.
Yao Yulu still looked at Lian Xingyue with a smile, not seeing the slightest anger, but it made Lian Xingyue even more angry.
The night was getting darker and everyone had dispersed. Just now, my father-in-law sent a message saying that the emperor was coming to her today.
Yao Yulu was a little linger in this slightly cold night and walked slowly in the garden of the West Hall. Lv Pangxiao was afraid that she would catch a cold and quickly took a long fluffy cloak to put on Yao Yulu's shoulder. After a while, she saw Li Qingxiao enter the hall.
Li Qingxiao also wore a dark blue fox velvet cloak. Seeing Yao Yulu standing in the garden and being blown by the autumn wind, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Why are you still standing outside the house in such a cold weather?"
Yao Yulu nodded slightly and said a little playfully, "I'm waiting for the emperor."
Li Qingxiao looked helpless and shook his head and said, "You actually worried me."
Yao Yulu said anly, "That's my concubine's fault."
The two smiled and walked into the hall slowly. Li Qingxiao looked around, "Are you satisfied with living in this West Hall?"
Yao Yulu's already calm heart was a little moved and said, "The grass and trees, tables and chairs of Yulu in this West Hall have been carefully looked at. Even a detail is according to Yulu's preference, and the emperor's thoughts Yulu has been felt."
Seeing that Yao Yulu's eyes were slightly rosy, Li Qingxiao gently took her shoulder and said softly, "Silly girl, this is not all I should do. I will be relieved if you live comfortably."
The two sat at the table chatting and tasting tea. They spent the night leisurely, as if there was no end to the time, and they went into the night in a trance.
Although this period of time is a small quarrel, it is also a safe and worry-free day. Yao Yulu, Ji Shuidong and Xu Cairen accompanied each other as usual, and Xu Cairen's alone was also getting more and more bulging. Seeing the beginning of winter, Xu Cairen had been pregnant for six months.
The emperor and the empress dowager were very concerned about the child, saying that they would be promoted to the throne for Xu Cairen after the child was born. Although Xu Cairen did not like this struggle for fame and profit, anyone would be happier if they could do this.
In such a calm day, Yao Yulu is becoming more and more greedy. It seems that this harem is not just such a bloody wind. If she settles down and lives a good life, maybe she can really compete with the world? The emperor treated her as gently and considerately as before, and she didn't care about other things.
And Yang Chang has really made some progress. Thinking that in those years, he was almost forgotten by the emperor's name, but now he has been promoted to another position and is already a talented person. Although this Yuemei Palace is far away from Xinghui Palace, the bits and pieces of Yang's selection can still be transmitted to Yao Yulu's ears, but fortunately, he is not confused. No matter how Yang Xuanshi acted recklessly in Yuemei Palace, Xu Cairen did not dare to provoke him easily, so all this had nothing to do with Yao Yulu.
On this day, because the maid of the West Hall was exhausted of the ingredients in the hall, she was sent by Lv Fangxiao to the imperial dining room to get some for breakfast, so that she could steal an idle walk out of the hall. The new moon was happy and walked slowly in the palace all the way. This early winter morning was dry and cold, although she made it with brocade cloth. The cotton-padded clothes are still a little rustling by the cold wind.
At such a time, there is almost no one in the palace except the guards. Occasionally, you can see birds falling on the ground and eating the grains between the cracks, and there is no other movement.
New Moon walked all the way, and the surroundings were quiet, but suddenly she heard a small voice. She was curious for a moment and followed the sound, but saw something she shouldn't have seen.
After the woods not far away, Crescent faintly saw the figures of two people. It seemed that both of them were wearing the palace clothes of the imperial concubines and saw their faces clearly in the first few steps. It turned out to be Yang Cairen and Concubine Jin.
The crescent moon didn't realize anything, but at this time, the two did not go out with the maid, which was more or less strange. She felt that her position was very hidden, so she listened carefully at the risk of curiosity.
Unexpectedly, before listening to half a sentence, one hand wrapped around her shoulder. At this moment, she was about to jump out of her throat in a panic and fell to the ground in a hurry.
