"Why have you been around for so long?"

Coming back to her senses, Ye Hao asked casually.

However, Ah Ruan lowered his head and said respectfully: "The slave and maid have just been delayed on the road, otherwise the slave and maid would have already returned." ”

"But what's wrong?" Ye Hao put down the teacup in her hand and asked in a deep voice.

At this time, Ah Ruan put the food box on the table, took out a few plates of pastries and placed them on the table, and said respectfully: "The concubine Niangniang likes to eat water chestnut cake the most, and the slave maid specially instructed the imperial dining room to make it for Niangniang." ”

"You have a heart." Ye Hao quipped, and then picked up a piece of pastry in her hand and put it to her mouth.

After eating a few pieces of pastries one after another, Ye Hao stopped her mouth, and Ah Ruan, who was beside her, hurriedly sent the teacup forward, and said respectfully: "The concubine Niangniang has a sip of hot tea." ”

"Hmm." Take the tea and take a sip.

After a moment of silence, Ah Ruan spoke softly: "When the slave maid went to the imperial dining room, she bumped into the slave and maid Bai Shao beside Xianxian Zhaoyi. ”

"Oh?"

Then Ye Hao raised her eyebrows and glanced at Ah Ruan, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"The emperor is going to have dinner in the Qingyin Hall tonight." Ah Ruan frowned and replied in a low voice.

I thought that Ye Hao would be displeased, but her expression was light, so that people couldn't see a trace of emotion.

"It's not too early now, when will the concubine have dinner?"

Then Ah Ruan whispered again.

At this time, Ye Hao's beautiful eyes were slightly raised, her face was as calm as water, and she said softly: "I ate some pastries in this palace, and I don't feel hungry." ”

"Then when the master is hungry, tell the slave and maid." Ah Ruan said respectfully, and then pushed the pastry plate in front of Ye Hao.

Lowering her eyes and scanning the plate of pastries, Ye Hao waved her hand, no longer having the slightest sense of appetite, "Remove these things." ”

Seeing this, Ah Ruan didn't dare to say much, and respectfully took down the plate of pastries.

Ye Hao picked up the teacup and took a few sips, her delicate little face was light, so that people couldn't see a trace of emotion.

The palace was silent, revealing an oppressive atmosphere.

Outside the window, it was getting late, and there was not a trace of the moon in sight, only the whirring cold wind beating on the window lattice.

The slaves and maids waiting outside the hall reported one after another, and they were all sent out by Ah Ruan.

"The concubine Niangniang's imperial dining room has sent slaves and maids to urge it several times, so you still have some dinner." With a worried look on his face, Ah Ruan said in a low voice.

Ye Hao, who was on the side, heard this, her expression was pale, and she said softly: "Just send them down casually." ”

In desperation, Ah Ruan frowned and said in a low voice: "Yes." ”

At this time, Ye Hao sat on the chaise longue, with a tired look on her delicate cheeks, stretched out her hand and brushed her forehead, pursed the corners of her mouth and didn't speak for a long time.

Ah Ruan, who walked in, said softly: "Back to the noble concubine, the slave maid heard that the emperor has already eaten in the Qingyin Palace." ”

"Hmm." Ye Hao's expression was faint, and she replied casually.

"The palace is a little tired." Ye Hao looked tired.

"The slave waits for the concubine to rest."

Then Ah Ruan stepped forward and respectfully saluted towards Ye Hao's possession.

Walking into the inner room, after Ye Hao lay down, Ah Ruan got up and left.

Following.

At dawn, Ye Hao was asleep, and Ah Ruan Hou was beckoning his slaves and maids under the eaves to clean the courtyard.

At this time, a figure walked into the palace and bowed to Ah Ruan Yingying: "Ah Ruan girl, is the concubine awake?" ”

Raising his head, Ah Ruan saw a familiar figure, and hurriedly said, "Miss Bai Shao, why are you here?" ”

"The concubine hasn't gotten up yet." Knowing Bai Shao's intention to come this time, Ah Ruan said in a low voice. Hanlian literature

"My little master came to say hello to the concubine."

Bai Shao frowned and said worriedly.

"The master hasn't gotten up yet, do you want to disturb her quiet?" Ah Ruan's face did not change, and he scolded in a deep voice.

Immediately, Bai Shao's face changed slightly, and she said softly: "The slave doesn't dare." She glanced at the closed door, and said as she left, "When the concubine gets up, my little master will come to say goodbye." ”

After sending Bai Shao away, Ah Ruan walked into the inner room.

Vaguely hearing the movement outside the window, Ye Hao slowly opened her eyes and said softly: "Who is making noise outside?" ”

"Back to the concubine Niangniang, it is the slave and maid Bai Shao next to Xian Zhaoyi." Ah Ruan replied respectfully while helping Ye Hao to get up.

"What is she here for?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhenxiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on her delicate cheeks.

"Xian Zhaoyi will come to greet the concubine Niangniang in a while."

Supporting Ye Zhen in front of the dresser, Ah Ruan replied word by word.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Ye Hao's face was calm, the skin on her little face was snow-white, and her eyes were extraordinarily bright.

She stretched lazily and said casually, "She got up early." ”

"In the future, Xian Zhaoyi will follow the concubine Niangniang to take care of the harem, and she will naturally rush to Chaohua Palace." Ah Ruan joked with a smile while tying Ye Hao's hair.

This is true, not everyone can take care of the trivial affairs of the harem, and now Xie Yuchen has reused Zhao Jingxian, which shows that he has a lot of grace for her.

After Ye Hao finished dressing up, her little flower-like face was painted with delicate makeup, and her beautiful eyes were shining like thousands of stars.

She stretched out her hand and flicked the golden hairpin above her head, pursed her lips and chuckled: "You slave is very sharp-toothed. ”

"This morning, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent two new clothes, specially made for the concubine." Ah Ruan reminded softly, and then instructed the slave maid to present the two fine clothes in front of Ye Hao.

lowered his phoenix eyes and glanced at the two gorgeous clothes placed in front of him, one of which was a light blue dress, and the other was a yellow water wave skirt, which was extremely exquisite in terms of style and style.

"That's it." Ye Hao stretched out her finger covered in red nails and pointed at the pale yellow dress.

"Stand down, all of you."

Seeing this, Ah Ruan motioned to keep the dress, and then waved his hand to signal the slaves and maids to retreat.

After the slaves and maids retreated, Ruan waited for Ye Hao to change her clothes.

In a moment's effort, Ye Hao finished dressing, and a pale yellow dress reflected her slender and slender figure, and she smiled on a beautiful little look, like the warmth of spring flowers.

At this moment, a slave walked into the palace and saluted Ye Hao slightly: "Back to the concubine Niangniang, Xian Zhaoyi asks to see her outside the palace." ”

"Please let her in."

Ye Hao's face was calm, her eyes were burning to look at herself in the mirror, and she said softly.

"Yes."

Immediately, the slave nodded in response, and then withdrew.

Soon a slender figure walked into the palace, Zhao Jingxian, dressed in a purple dress, had a slender and slender figure, a beautiful little face painted with delicate makeup, and saw Ye Hao attached to him and saluted: "The concubine has asked the concubine to say goodbye." ”

"No courtesy." Ye Hao didn't look at Zhao Jingxian, and said softly.

"Xie Niangniang."

Then Zhao Jingxian respectfully saluted Ye Hao, and then stood up.

"Give tea!"

Sitting on the chaise longue, Ye Hao commanded slowly.

Ah Ruan, who was waiting beside him, nodded and replied, "Yes." Poured a cup of hot tea and sent it to Zhao Jingxian's hands.

Taking the tea, Zhao Jingxian took a sip and said with a smile: "It's a little late for the concubine to ask the concubine for peace today, and I hope the concubine won't be surprised." ”
