Chapter 287 New Year's Day

"What happened later?" Song Jinzhi asked.

"Later, somehow, I only felt a pain in my shoulder and a stag under my feet and fell to the ground." Yao Yulu thought for a moment, "When Ninger helped me up, blood had penetrated in my right shoulder."

"Yes, I was scared at that time. I don't know what's going on." Ning'er remembered at this time, and she was still afraid. "We returned to the palace again. Xiao Xuanzi saw the blood on the right shoulder of the Empress. She hurried forward and patted it with her hand, and a thin blade fell out. He was stunned with the blade for a moment, hurriedly drugged the Empress, and went out. The Empress also hurried away because she was in a hurry for the birthday banquet and couldn't take care of the wound.

"Is there a guest?" Song Jinzhi suddenly stood up, looked around the dark window, and said worriedly, "Who is going to do such a poison?"

Yao Yulu looked at the dark weather outside and shook her head, "I suspect it's that person!"

"You said, yes..." Song Jinzhi's expression changed, but he didn't say it.

Yao Yulu nodded, "Today in the palace, didn't my sister see her face? When she saw me appear, her smiling face suddenly turned green. She must have failed to achieve her goal.

"My sister only cares about you. She is not in the mood to see others. I didn't expect her to be so poisonous." Song Jinzhi said worriedly, "Now she is in the dark. We are in the light. I really don't know how to take precautions."

"Don't worry, since the weather is endless today, she won't have much chance to hurt me in the future!" Yao Yulu said coldly, and a trace of sharpness flashed in her eyes, "Sister, you should also be careful in the future."

"She harmed my emperor. I must avenge this hatred!" Song Jinzhi also answered coldly.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the two sisters just got up and haven't gone to the palaces to pay a New Year call. Ji Shuidong came in. Seeing Song Jinzhi, she couldn't help but be stunned and hurriedly said, "Shuidong met the two sisters. My sister is auspicious in the New Year."

Yao Yulu looked at her thin face and suddenly thought of Yao Yujiao's bullying her. She couldn't help pulling her up and said, "Sister, Happy New Year. My sister came so early, but we got up late."

"My sister's dance yesterday was really beautiful, and Shuidong is really envious."

"My sister is really flattered. If my sister dances, she must be better than me." Yao Yulu said and pulled Ji Shuidong, "Sister, come and sit by the fire. Let's have a good chat."

Song Jinzhi sat aside but didn't say anything. Ji Shuidong said, "Sister Song Ronghua's health is better?"

Song Jinzhi was in the way of Yao Yulu's face and didn't want to pay attention to her, but he saw that her face was courteous. She was a soft-hearted person and couldn't bear to refuse. She replied indifferently, "Thank you for your trouble. I feel much better these days."

Ji Shuidong sat there, watched her two dress up and stop, and immediately got up and said, "Two sisters, let's go to pay a New Year call to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the Queen."

Yao Yulu thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, our sisters are also more lively together. Ha ha, Sister Song, come on."

Although Song Ronghua was a little reluctant, it was not easy to brush Yao Yulu's heart and slowly stood up with them.

In the Tailin Hall, Emperor Li Qingxiao looked at the queens, concubines and beautiful girls around him. He was happy and raised his glass and said, "All my concubines, let's be reunited today. I also hope that you will get along well with each other from now on. Come on, I would like to have a drink."

The queen quickly stood up with the concubines to thank them. Yao Yulu sat there and suddenly remembered something. She quickly called Ning'er and quietly ordered a few words. Ninger nodded and quietly retreated. However, the queen always paid attention to Yao Yulu's movements, looked at Ning'er's solemn face and made a wink at Qiuer. Qiu'er understood and followed Ninger secretly.

Ninger came to the imperial dining room and said to Mother Li with a smile, "Mother, my noble concubine always feels hungry because of the long night. I'll bring some food back for my mother."

Mother Li hurriedly smiled and said, "Girl, I'm afraid the noble concubine is happy. The girl just picks up what she likes to eat. If she doesn't have a mouthful, the old slave will immediately do it for her."

Ninger smiled and said, "Mother Li, thank you very much for your effort. The Empress ordered me to take some at will." With that, he picked up a few small snacks and took a few cakes. Wrap it in a piece of paper. At this time, a fragrance came, and Ninger couldn't help sniffing and said, "It smells so good. What is this?"

"Girl, this is the pork that came from outside the palace a few days ago. Because of the New Year, the old slave wanted to have more meat, so he specially steamed some lotus leaf meat and put it there. If the girl likes it, just take it. When I returned to the palace and steamed it again, the oil would be soaked out. The meat was no longer greasy. The Empress ate it, which was extremely beautiful and did not gain weight.

Ninger said happily, "It's so good. Please ask Mother Li to help me pick out a few pieces."

Mother Li immediately took out a few lotus leaves, picked out a few pieces of meat, put them in them, carefully wrapped them, and then put them in Ning'er's hands. Ninger was happy and thought that the Jade Concubine had been shouting for meat. Now she could have a good meal with Bi'er and have a good New Year.

Ninger only ran to the cold palace, but was notware of Qiuer following her closely. Looking at her holding a large bag of things and running into the lonely cold palace, Qiuer couldn't help smiling coldly, "It turns out that she still played such a game of wolf crying sheep, which is really fake and disgusting." She went back and reported to the queen.

Ninger took something and went straight in. There were too many things. She couldn't help calling, "Bier, Bier, come out quickly."

Bier was in the room, eating the snacks sent by Yao Yulu yesterday with Yao Yujiao. The room was cold. Yao Yujiao looked at the cold snacks and shouted unhappily, "Bier, my emperor wants to eat chicken legs."

Bier tried her best to coax, "Mother, the prince said that you should eat everything and not be picky about food, otherwise he will not grow up."

"Don't grow up, don't, I want the emperor to be tall and strong." As soon as Yao Yujiao heard this, she immediately grabbed the dessert on the table and stuffed it into her mouth without distinguishing.

At this moment, only Ning'er's voice came from the outside. Bier quickly got up and greeted her. Ning'er ran red face and put things on the table. Looking at Yao Yujiao, who was really rolling her eyes, hurried to pour tea, but the teapot was cold. She couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Bier, is there no water?"

Bier lowered her head, "They have all been to the New Year, so there is no one here, and there is no charcoal fire." At this time, the sweat on Ning'er's body had dried up, and she felt a slight chill. She looked around. In the empty room, there was only a bed, a table and a few square stools. Even the copper furnace that made the fire was also covered with dust, and it was obvious that it had not been used for a long time.

Ninger couldn't help frowning, think about it, and went straight to the eunuch's room next to the cold palace, which was as warm as spring, and several little eunuchs were eating hot food around a big hot pot. Unexpectedly, he didn't pay attention to Ning'er coming in.

Ninger looked at them and was immediately angry. When she wanted to go to the New Year, she accompanied the noble concubine in the cold palace, and the same happened. These people, when they saw the Jade Concubine coming, couldn't wait to call their father and mother to slap her desperately, and now they can't wait to let her go to the 18th floor of hell. Ninger shouted coldly, "Who is the head of the waitress?"

The waiter-in-law saw Ning'er at this time and was shocked. He knew that Ning'er was the maid of the noble concubine, and the noble concubine was the favorite concubine in the emperor's eyes. How dare he offend the neglect? He immediately came forward and saluted, "Girl, the villain is."

Ninger looked at his mouth full of oil, "hum" and said, "I can't see that you are quite comfortable as a waitress."

The little plaid looked at her bad face and said more carefully, "Girl, today is the first day of the lunar new year. The emperor is sympathetic to us slaves and ordered us to eat and play."

"The emperor is sympathetic to you, but you will be harsh on the master!" Ning'er raised her eyebrows and said, "The jade concubine, the emperor did not withdraw the title. How could you bully the Lord like this and break her? It's okay. In the room, she didn't even leave her a charcoal fire. She is now pregnant with a dragon heir. Although the emperor's face is furious, after all, she is the prince and there is something wrong. Can you bear it?"

The little plaid listened, and his face was sweaty. While wiping, he said in panic, "I know my mistake. I'm going now. Come on!"

Several little eunuchs did not dare to neglect and hurried forward. The little plaid father-in-law ordered, "Immediately take a bag of charcoal to the cold palace, order it up for the Jade Concubine, clean it well, and send the fresh dishes to the Jade Concubine's room. Go, go quickly." With that, he raised his leg and kicked the lingered little eunuch.

Ninger couldn't help laughing and watched them be in a hurry. When they returned to the cold palace, the charcoal fire had just risen, and there was a pile of delicious food on the table. Yao Yujiao lay on it, protected her hands on it, and shouted repeatedly, "This is my emperor's, this is my emperor's..."

Bier looked at Ning'er gratefully, jumped forward and knelt down, and was about to bow down. Ning'er quickly pulled her up, "You and my sisters, why do you need such a big gift? You are really a broken sister."

Bier choked and said, "Sister Ning'er, think about how the Empress Yufei treated her when she was still in power. Today, you have revenged her kindness like this. The Empress Yufei has lost her mind. If I don't feel grateful anymore, it's really worse than a beast."

"My sister's words are serious. As slaves, we can't help it. My sister takes care of the jade concubine like this is a real righteous servant, which makes us slaves admire."
