Chapter 229: Left out in the cold
"As if to say, you never lied to me. But I always believed what this man said, and I probably forgot it quickly. So I'm going to make sure to you, I'm no ordinary woman. It's not so easy to coax, you'd better talk about it, or you know the consequences! ”
Xiao Zhuyu said this with a slight sense of threat. However, Xue Bolian was amused by her seriousness. My heart was full of guilt, because Xiao Zhuyu was a very free and easy person before, and wherever she wanted to go, she could run around as long as she said it. Although he would worry about her safety, Xue Bolian would often secretly arrange for someone to protect her silently.
But now he can't even give her the most basic, so he really blames himself. If it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant with her own child, and if it wasn't because of the poison in herself, Xiao Zhuyu's life wouldn't have been like this.
After grinding and soaking, I finally drank the medicine. Xiao Zhuyu can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and she can survive another day today. Because in her place, as long as she drinks this medicine, the whole person can relax.
"Luo Qing, you go and change into a better clothes. I'll take you out to play, then you can see the world. "Xiao Zhuyu wants to take Luo Qing into the palace together. Because this lotus Yan is a banquet for the harem concubines, it should be very exciting, presumably this Luo Qing has never seen it.
"Good lady, wait a minute, I'll be right here." Luo Qing heard that he could go out to play, not to mention how happy he was. Because she has been staying in Xue Mansion all this time, she basically hasn't gone out much, so she has already been suffocated.
It's still a long time, so the concubines in the harem are still trying to dress up. Although they knew that this lotus feast was very important to them, and they would dress up in advance, today this day has finally come. Therefore, they also have very high requirements for themselves, and naturally they must be meticulous and do everything to the extreme.
Even if the emperor is busy with government affairs on weekdays, on such a big festival, he will put down the work in his hands a little and take a little time to come over to watch this lotus flower.
Because this lotus feast is not only a day for the harem concubines, but also a cheerful festival for some young people. Because today, the young sons and brothers of the court officials will go to the banquet.
Xue Bolian took Xiao Zhuyu, Xiao Zhuyu took Luo Qing, and several people entered the palace together. This lotus Yan has not officially started, it is rare to enter the palace, Xue Bolian took Xiao Zhuyu to visit the concubine's bedroom.
It just so happened that the concubine had just learned some pastries, and this would be ready. She didn't know that her younger brother and Xiao Zhuyu would come over, because she knew that Xue Bolian didn't like such a lively occasion.
"Niangniang, Lord Xue asks to see you."
When the concubine heard that her younger brother was coming, her face immediately smiled. "Did he come alone?"
"Back to Niangniang, Lord Xue also brought Mrs. Xue over." The maid replied.
"Yu'er, this palace really hasn't seen her for a few days. I was thinking that I was busy, but after a while, I went to Xue Mansion to see her, and it was rare to come to the harem today, and the palace should be well accompanied. The concubine said happily.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you hurry up and invite Lord Xue and Mrs. Xue in. The concubine urged anxiously. I haven't seen each other for a few days, and being alone in this deep palace is indeed and will feel very lonely.
Now that her family finally came over, she was able to chat with her a little bit to relieve her boredom, which was naturally her blessing.
"No!"
"See the concubine." The two of them said in unison.
Xue Bolian and Xiao Zhuyu came in, and saw the concubine Niangniang running over anxiously and talking. "Yu'er, why do you look so thin?"
Xiao Zhuyu knew that although she was her sister, in this palace, the rules that should be followed still had to be followed.
"Thank you for your concern, Yu'er is fine, it may be that she hasn't rested well during this time, so she lost weight! But it doesn't matter, I'm a very edible person, and I guess I can grow fat and fat again after a while. Xiao Zhuyu touched her little face and said.
In fact, it was just a kind word, and she didn't feel that she was thin. Because of pregnancy, I always feel that my waist has become fat. Plus she's a baby-faced herself, so there's no such thing as being skinny at all.
It's just that it might really look haggard! Fortunately, today is a little powder, otherwise she really has no way to see people.
Xue Bolian stood aside a little aggrieved, the sister who loved her on weekdays has now become Xiao Zhuyu's sister. It's not because I'm jealous, it's just that the change is a bit obvious.
The two of them sat next to each other and exchanged pleasantries. As if he hadn't discovered his existence at all, Xue Bolian had no choice but to find a place to sit down by himself.
"Come on, bring me some of the pastries I prepared today." The concubine said.
"Yu'er, sister, I recently learned some new pastries. Today is just enough for you to taste, although the cooking may not be as delicious as yours, but my sister has learned some skills, you have to review it. "The concubine Niangniang ate the pastries prepared for her by Xiao Zhuyu last time, and the taste was better than that made by the imperial chef in the palace, so she asked Xiao Zhuyu to teach her.
Soon, the hot pastry was brought up and placed in front of Xiao Zhuyu. This smell is really good, and there is a faint fragrance wafting over. Xue Bolian stretched his nose out for a long time, his sister would never do these things, but he didn't expect that when he saw this change today, it would be so big.
"Yu'er, is it delicious to taste it?" The concubine really put all her attention on her. Although the age is not much different, it may be that as a sister, she will care more or less!
"Sister, why don't you bring me some and taste it!" Xue Bolian said a little jealously. Because he couldn't even drink a sip of tea now, sitting alone on the side, he looked a little pitiful.
It turned out that the feeling of being left out was so disappointed, Xue Bolian could only sit on the side, watching these two people chat, he really seemed to be superfluous.
"What's your business. This is what I prepared for Yu'er, and I'll see you later. "The concubine didn't even look at it, but her brother glanced at it. Xiao Zhuyu will really feel that her husband is quite pitiful.
