Chapter 248 Show Goodwill to the Queen
The next day, Yao Yulu woke up early today because she slept a lot yesterday, but the emperor had already gone to court. Just in time, the red silk serving outside the house quickly brought in a washbasin.
Yao Yulu walked to the basin and saw that the petals in it were not the osmanthus she had always used, but turned into gardenia. She took a deep breath and was very fragrant. She didn't care too much and washed her face directly.
"Did you change the gardenia for me?" Yao Yulu asked casually.
"Yes."
Yao Yulu nodded and said nothing more, and then Ning'er came in.
"Mother, look how beautiful this cloak is." Ninger said with a smile with a cloak made of white fox skin.
Yao Yulu couldn't help looking sideways. It was indeed a very beautiful cloak, and the white fox was very rare. Such a large cloak must be even more difficult to make.
"Your Majesty, the emperor really loves you very much. He sent this cloak this morning. How beautiful it is." Ninger said with a smile.
Yao Yulu stepped forward and couldn't help touching the cloak with a faint smile on her face and saying nothing.
"Empress, please see me." Suddenly, an inner prisoner of the outer hall ran into and said quickly.
Yao Yulu nodded and immediately walked out. The queen was drinking tea in the hall with a faint smile on her face.
"The queen is auspicious. I don't know that the queen's visit is far away. Please don't be surprised." As soon as Yao Yulu wanted to salute her body, she was helped up by the queen.
"Yulu, you are pregnant now, and the emperor won't let you say good and salute, so you don't want to do this." With a faint smile on her face, she looked at Yao Yulu's bulging lower abdomen. She didn't know that Yao Yulu was pregnant at the beginning? What a mistake, otherwise Yao Yulu would not have been so favored.
Yao Yulu smiled faintly and sat aside.
"That day, thanks to the help of the Empress in Meilin, she spoke for Yulu. This friendship Yulu is remembered in my heart." Yao Yulu quickly said that in Meilin that day, the queen tried her best to say good words to her. Although she didn't know why, she still owed this favor.
"I really can't stand what Yufei did, but it's just a small matter. You don't have to remember it." The queen took a sip of tea and said.
Yao Yulu nodded slightly. Although the queen said so, it was just polite words. How could she not know? If she had something to do, she would definitely say it, but she would not be too sincere.
"The Empress has helped Yulu a lot, and Yulu will definitely remember it." Yao Yulu said with a smile, gently putting her hand on her raised lower abdomen and touching it from time to time.
The queen's eyes looked at Yao Yulu's stomach from time to time, and her eyes became more and more fierce, but for Yao Yulu, she could no longer want to deal with Song Jinzhi. Now Yao Yulu is at the time of great favor, and the emperor loves her even more. If she says that, it is difficult to guarantee that she will appeal to the emperor. I'm afraid she won't do any good.
"Yulu should keep her body well. She is not alone in the palace." The queen said quietly.
Yao Yulu's expression couldn't help changing, guessing what the ultimate purpose of the queen would be. Is it really just to warn her? Ask her to be careful? The queen must have her thoughts when she said this.
"It's just that the open gun in the palace is easy to hide from hidden arrows. Although I have the emperor's protection, I am also worried from time to time. I also ask the queen to make the decision for my concubine." Yao Yulu couldn't help saying.
The queen smiled faintly, but her eyes also looked at Yao Yulu from time to time, but she couldn't say those words.
"Ha ha, I also like children very much. I must keep the children, but I have never had a son and a daughter under my knees, which is a pity." The queen sighed and said.
Yao Yulu's eyes tightened, and she also understood what happened to the queen's arrival this time. The queen has been childless. If she wants to be a stable queen, she can only tell these powerless concubines to let the children voluntarily succeed to the queen.
Yao Yulu thought of Concubine Zeng, who was the queen, and she was the only one who gave birth to a child safely for so many years. It is said that the queen has some snobbish in the palace.
And now she has just been favored, and there is also a Yao Yujiao staring at her. She can't help but be there. Although the emperor is fond of her now, he can't always prevent those who are unfavorable to her. On the contrary, the queen is the master of the harem, and the concubine can give birth to children in those years. That is to say, she can still help her.
"The queen's house is kind-hearted. If the concubine can give birth to a child safely, she will let the queen help her raise the concubine, so that the concubine can rest assured." Yao Yulu couldn't help opening her mouth.
The queen had a smile on her face and couldn't help sighing in her heart that Yao Yulu was still somewhat measured, and she could know what she meant in a few words.
"Ha ha, since there is Yao Guicubine today, I will protect Yao Guicubine well." The queen said with a smile.
Yao Yulu lowered her head slightly. Although she had a smile on her face, it was a little bitter. I don't know how spoiled her current situation is to outsiders, but only she knows the turbulent waves. She stood on the tip of the storm again. If she wants to live, she must rely on a person, and this person , it is the queen.
When she was in Meilin that day, she already knew that the queen was deliberately fighting against Yao Yujiao, and she must have also taboo Yao Yujiao's snobbishness, so she had heard her meaning from her words on the queen's trip today, so she agreed so happily.
No matter what happens in the future, the most important thing is to keep the child now.
Not long after the queen left, Ji Shuidong came to Yao Yulu, but she didn't come in for a long time. It was Ning Er who told Yao Yulu after she saw it.
Yao Yulu's eyebrows were slightly together. At that time, she was humiliated in the cold palace, and all kinds of conditions were very harsh. If it hadn't been for Song Jinzhi's help, she might have died in the cold palace long ago, how could she have been loved today?
To say that Ji Shuidong didn't care about her at that time, she didn't complain, but later she also thought about it. Her personal ideas were different. Why did she ask Ji Shuidong to help her?
However, she didn't know what was doing this time. There was no expression on her face, but she still asked Ning'er to invite Ji Shuidong in.
Yao Yulu waited in the side hall. Ji Shuidong came in, and his face immediately showed a ashamed look, and he quickly ran to Yao Yulu.
"Sister, how have you been recently?" Ji Shuidong couldn't help asking with tears on his face.
"Ji Zhaohua, I'm fine. At least I can still see you again alive." Yao Yu showed expressionless, but her words were still mean. She always regarded Ji Shuidong as her sister, but she really didn't expect that Ji Shuidong would never see her at the most difficult time for him.
She said in her heart that it was impossible not to complain.
Ji Shuidong heard the alienation in her tone. Of course, she knew that it was her fault that she didn't go to see Yao Yulu in the cold palace at that time, and the shame on her face became heavier and heavier.
"Sister, I know you're blaming me, and I also know it's my fault. My sister should blame me, so my sister waited outside and refused to come in. My sister wants to see my sister, but she is worried that she doesn't want to see me." Ji Shuidong lowered his eyes and opened his mouth faintly.
Yao Yulu's face did not look, but she looked at Ji Shuidong coldly. Finally, she sighed and said faintly, "Ji Zhaohua, the friendship between you and my sisters is over. Please take care of yourself."
Ji Shuidong's expression changed. Obviously, he didn't expect Yao Yulu to say such words. Tears immediately fell on his face, and his hand grabbed Yao Yulu's arm uneasily. "Sister, my sister knew it was wrong. Please forgive me. We were in the palace all the way. Thanks to my sister, my sister was able to live well here. Cun, my sister really doesn't know what I would do if my sister abandoned me in the future.
Ji Shuidong cried and said, and even Ninger beside her felt sad and shed tears, but Yao Yulu still ignored her and didn't even look at her. Yao Yulu sighed slightly. Ji Shuidong said with a very emotional expression. If she didn't care at all, it would be impossible, but when she thought of herself After her own experience, she couldn't get well with Ji Shuidong.
