Chapter 472: Walking on Thin Ice
Often the more quiet and focused a woman is, the more the temperament exuded by her body attracts people's attention.
The candle flame lit on the table flickered, shaking Ye Hao's eyes, and immediately she frowned slightly, and ordered in a low voice: "Ah Ruan and the palace will get a few more candles." ”
There was silence in the Great Palace, and no one responded.
At this moment, a pair of slender fingers held a candle flame and gently placed it on the table.
However, Ye Hao did not raise her eyes, she still sat there, quietly flipping through the books in her hands.
The cold wind outside the window was howling, and a trace of cold wind blew into the palace through the gap, Ye Hao felt a chill in her back, and then coughed lightly.
"Ahem......" She held a silk handkerchief in her hand to cover her cheeks, and a delicate little face showed a painful look.
At this time, a silver-white mink fur slowly draped over Ye Hao's petite body, and a low and magnetic male voice sounded in her ears, "It's really hard to read poetry and books in the middle of the night." ”
I only felt that the voice was a little familiar, and immediately Ye Hao's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly raised her eyes to look, and saw Xie Yuchen's cold and handsome face.
Then Ye Hao looked at the mink fur draped on his body, but it was not the precious clothes on Xie Yuchen's body, Ye Hao's face changed slightly, she stood up and saluted: "When did the emperor come?" ”
"It's just now." Xie Yuchen stood in front of Ye Hao, and his thin lips opened slightly.
"The concubine is not welcome, and I ask the emperor to atone for his sins."
Immediately, Ye Hao respectfully attached herself and saluted, and saluted Xie Yuchen again and again.
"I saw that Concubine Ai was serious, and I couldn't bear to disturb Concubine Ai's quiet." Xie Yuchen's clear face had a cold expression, and his ink-like black eyes stared at Ye Hao.
"It's all the sins of the concubines, and I ask the emperor to atone for the sins." When Ye Hao heard this, her face immediately changed slightly, and she knelt on the ground and never got up.
She didn't expect that Xie Yuchen would come to her palace so late at night, not only that, but even she was fascinated by reading a book just now, and she was completely read by Xie Yuchen.
Seeing that Ye Hao didn't get up, Xie Yuchen possessed her and stretched out his bony palm to help her up.
"You don't have to be polite to love the concubine."
"Concubine, thank you to the emperor."
Holding Xie Yuchen's palm, Ye Hao slowly stood up and saluted Ye Hao respectfully.
"Isn't the emperor going to Xian Zhaoyi's palace tonight? How could he come to the palace of his concubine now? Ye Hao asked with a surprised face, and helped Xie Yuchen to sit down on the couch.
Then he called the slave Ah Ruan to cook a cup of tea for Xie Yuchen, "Ah Ruan will make a pot of tea for the emperor from the West Lake Longjing tea that the emperor rewarded with the palace last time." ”
"Yes."
didn't dare to delay, Ah Ruan immediately nodded in response, and then turned to leave.
After pouring a cup of tea, Ye Hao sent it to Xie Yuchen, and said respectfully: "Please also invite the emperor to drink tea." ”
After taking the tea, Xie Yuchen took a few sips, put down the teacup, and said with a leisurely smile: "It's not early, and now that I drink tea again, I'm afraid I won't have to sleep tonight." ”
A joke made Ye Hao laugh out loud, she looked at Xie Yuchen with a smile in her eyebrows, and sat down beside her.
"The emperor is just reviewing the recital in the Qianqing Palace, and it is extremely hard to think about it, and I am a little hungry." Ye Hao asked word by word with a worried look on her face.
I saw that Xie Yuchen's face did not change, and he smiled faintly: "I also had very little dinner tonight, and now I am a little hungry." ”
"Ah Ruan's craftsmanship is good, he can make first-hand exquisite pastries, and he also invites the emperor to taste them, they are delicious." Ye Hao sent several plates of exquisite pastries to Xie Yuchen.
Looking at the fancy pastries on the plate, Xie Yuchen also had some appetite, and opened his lips and said, "Then I will taste it." ”
After that, he picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.
"If the emperor thinks that these are not in line with appetite, then the concubine will order the imperial dining room to cook a bowl of red bean and lotus seed soup for the emperor." Ye Zhen replied in a low voice with a happy look on her delicate face. Zilang literature
"No need."
Before Ye Hao could command the slave maid, she was interrupted by Xie Yuchen.
"There's no ready-made pastry, so why bother." Xie Yuchen's face was cold, and he ordered in a low voice.
"What the emperor said is very true." Ye Zhen smiled and bowed slightly towards Xie Yuchen.
At this time, Ah Ruan stepped into the palace and brought another plate of exquisite pastries in his hand, "The slave maid made another plate of pastries for the mother and the emperor in the small kitchen, and invited the masters to taste it." ”
"You have a heart." Ye Hao looked at the exquisite pastry and said happily, "The emperor wants to taste this Poria cake, which can be compared with the pastry paid tribute by the imperial dining room." ”
After eating a piece of pastry, Xie Yuchen drank another cup of tea.
"It's not too early, it's time for the emperor to rest, and tomorrow will go to the morning court." Ye Hao looked at the dark night outside the window and reminded in a low voice.
"Hmm."
Then Xie Yuchen held Ye Hao's small hand with his generous palm, helped her to stand up, and walked towards the inner room.
Following.
Last night, Ye Hao rested late, and got up a little late, but Xie Yuchen went to the morning court as soon as he was a day.
Hearing the movement in the inner hall, Ah Ruan stepped into the palace, lifted the bed curtain, and saluted respectfully: "The slave maid greets the concubine." ”
"Get up." Ye Hao sat up at the head of the bed, and her little face without powder looked relieved.
"Little master, did you sleep well?"
Put on the embroidered shoes for Ye Hao, Ah Ruan helped Ye Hao to walk to the dresser, and asked happily.
"When did the emperor leave today?"
Looking at himself in the mirror, his little face as white as jade was calmly relieved, and he asked lightly.
Carefully combing Ye Hao's black green hair, Ah Ruan said in a low voice: "When the emperor got up, he instructed the slaves and maids not to disturb the concubine Niangniang. ”
"It can be seen that the emperor really feels sorry for the little master." Ah Ruan said happily, combing a flowing cloud bun and looking particularly exquisite.
"You slave is used to making fun of this palace."
Ye Hao raised her eyebrows, looked at herself in the mirror with her eyes, and joked with a clever smile.
"I heard that yesterday the emperor was going to Qingyin Hall to accompany Xian Zhaoyi, but when he heard the slave and maid mention the little master's loss of appetite, he was worried about the little master, so he came to visit the little master."
The words were full of joy, Ah Ruan had a playful look on his face, picked up a mutton fat white hosta and handed it to Ye Hao to check.
"What kind of hairpin is the concubine going to wear today?" Ruan asked in a low voice.
The hairpins placed on the dresser are all extremely exquisite, and they are all valuable things rewarded by Xie Yuchen, Ye Hao looked at the emerald inlaid hairpins are extraordinarily plain brocade, even so, but they can't hide such gorgeousness.
"That's it!" Ye Hao lowered her eyes and glanced at the emerald hairpin, and said faintly.
Suddenly, Ah Ruan said, "Yes." ”
She reached out and picked up the emerald hairpin and carefully inserted it into Ye Hao's bun.
"Do you still like it?" Ah Ruan blinked her bright eyes, looked at Ye Hao in the mirror, and said with a playful smile, "The slave remembers that this emerald hairpin was given to the little master by the emperor." ”
"Emeralds are rare, and now they are inlaid with gemstones on the hairpins, which are particularly precious." Ye Zhenwan smiled and looked at Ah Ruan with beautiful eyes.
"What the little lord said is very true." Ruan happily agreed.
At this moment, a eunuch stepped into the palace and saluted Ye Hao: "The slave has asked the concubine to say goodbye." ”
