Chapter 25: Shadows
He Qiong's mother and daughter stayed until dusk before leaving, and Li Lingyou wanted to leave them for dinner together, but unfortunately they had no appetite, so they had to let the dining room fill a box of jade dew balls that Zhan Youqing loved to eat for her to take away.
Contrary to He Qiong's mother and daughter, Li Lingyou suddenly had an appetite, and ordered seven or eight dishes she wanted to eat in a row, and asked Lian Peng to tell the dining room to do it.
In the days when Feng Yuchu came to the princess's mansion, he was so idle that he was about to grow hair, he only needed to be responsible for Li Lingyou's daily meals, but Li Lingyu did not have a heavy appetite, and the amount of food was small, so he was useless as a hero.
Finally, Li Lingyu got up and ordered a dish, Feng Yuchu rolled up his sleeves and went to kill fish and chickens, and he had enough strength to behave well, hoping that Li Lingyu would eat happily and reward him with a pair of golden spoons, which would be paired with the golden spoons last time.
Li Ling has been ill for a few days, and he was stared at by Honeysuckle and Anar and was not allowed to go out of the house, and he was already stuffy, and it happened that both of them were in the outer courtyard tonight, preparing to make a living. Li Lingyou had no one around him to take care of the east and west, so he asked his subordinates to put the dinner in the garden to enjoy, and felt that it was too lonely to eat alone, so he asked Lianpeng to go to Zangxiuxuan to call people.
"It's called hopeless, and there is Yue Zhumoshu."
Lian Peng obeyed, and Su Xin helped Li Lingyu sit in front of the makeup mirror, took a jade-backed ivory comb, and gently brushed her long hair that was somewhat disheveled.
"Just tie up the headband, don't wear any hairpin rings, it will give me a headache."
"Slave maid, let me put you in a bun, it's loose and easy."
"It's fine."
Frangipani is skillful and has a must-have makeup, Li Lingyu is performed by her, and her hands are casually fiddling with the golden hairpins and jade rings scattered on the dressing table.
The red sandalwood luodian color luan pattern dressing table in her bedroom was her mother's beloved thing before her death, and the light marks on the bronze mirror carried her best memories of her mother, and she was taken to Qiang as a dowry.
I still remember when I was a child, every time the queen mother sat in front of the mirror to make up, she would get into her arms to play, the large and small drawers on the dressing table were like treasure chests, and every time she opened them, she could always find some beautiful gadgets.
It's a pity that when she grew up later, she didn't dress up for her lover even once in her best years, but spent the darkest time in that bronze mirror.
……
The octagonal glazed pavilion in the garden is laid with four table seats, and several pastel gauze lamps hang under the eaves, covering the surrounding flowers and plants with a layer of pearlescent.
The palace maids and eunuchs came and went with cups, plates and utensils, and they were trained to handle them gently, and they were not noisy at all.
Yuezhu and Moshu came earlier, occupying the tables on both sides of the main seat, Yin Yu came late because he was going to shave, and saw that the good seats were occupied, only the most marginal seats were left, and he didn't panic, and he looked at the position of Moshu better, so he waved at him and said:
"Get up, I'm going to sit here."
Mo Shu refused to let him, he didn't say a word, stepped forward and lifted the person up, threw it aside, and then sat down.
Yuezhu hurriedly hugged his younger brother and glared at Yin Yu angrily: "Why are you unreasonable, obviously we came first." ”
Yin Yu sneered: "Did you just find out that I was unreasonable? ”
He has been leading the army and commanding the three armies all the year round, shouldering the honor and disgrace of a country, so that he has developed a temper of saying one thing and acting arbitrarily.
There is only one person in this world who can reason with him, not even the little emperor.
"Forget it, brother, sit down, Your Highness will come down later, and it's not good to see us noisy." Moshu pulled the indignant Yuezhu to sit down.
The three of them all looked at the path outside the pavilion, looking forward to it, Li Lingyu was recuperating in the past few days, and Honeysuckle prevented them from entering the Hidden Fragrance Garden, and no one could see Li Lingyou.
After a while, a few figures appeared at the end of the path, Lian Peng walked in front of the road with a butterfly lantern, Su Xin helped Li Lingyou to walk in the middle, followed by a few palace maids holding cushions and cloaks.
Yin Yu and the three of them got up to greet each other, and saw that Li Lingyou was short of breath, only to see that she was wearing a azure blue gauze dress, with a light lotus silk tied around her waist, and her black hair was tied on one side, and only a rice bead tassel fell.
"Greetings to Your Highness."
Yin Yu came back to his senses when he heard Yue Zhumoshu's salutation, and hurriedly bowed down.
Li Lingyou entered the pavilion, his eyes swept over the three of them, and he stayed on Yin Yu for a while, remembering the joy of riding the wind and the moon that night, and a smile appeared on his face.
"No courtesy, sit down."
said that they were given seats, and the three of them still waited for Li Lingyu to sit down before returning to their places.
"Your Highness, are you feeling better?" Yuezhu asked first.
Li Lingyu nodded, and cleaned his hands in the silver basin brought by the lotus pod: "It's much better, don't worry." ”
Yin Yu heard that her voice was still a little weak, and secretly looked at her and saw her emaciated shoulders and back, secretly distressed, and was just about to speak, but was robbed of words by the ink book.
"Your Highness, the spring scene I made by the lake last time has been drawn, and I brought it."
"yes, show me it."
Yin Yu listened to it in his ears, and he didn't know when they would accompany Li Lingyu to swim across the lake, and he was quite unhappy in his heart, and was about to inquire, when Yuezhu opened his mouth again.
"Your Highness, I have made a new song for you, can I play it for you later?"
"Okay."
The two brothers, you and I said a word, and Yin Yu was stunned and couldn't interject words, and depressedly poured a glass of sweet fruit wine and drank it, and he frowned when he drank it in his mouth.
Li Lingyun noticed Yin Yu's silence, put the scroll in his hand aside, and asked him softly:
"What about you, what have you done these days?"
Yin Yu touched her concerned gaze, and there was immediately a sweet taste in her mouth, and she put down the wine glass and replied seriously:
"I gave the Crow a new horseshoe and taught him to walk on the reins on his own."
Li Lingyu's eyes lit up, and he said with interest: "Really?" When you're done eating, you can take me to see it. ”
Yin Yu happily agreed, glanced at the twins proudly, and saw that the two of them looked stiff, and the previous depression was swept away.
In fact, in the past few days, he not only stayed in the princess's mansion to train horses, but also quietly returned to the royal palace twice, one to go back to instruct military affairs, and the other to assassinate Li Lingyou for Utuk.
He thought that he could follow the line of eunuchs to find out who wanted to kill people with a knife, and then find a way to settle the other party. Unexpectedly, the eunuch who let Utuk out of the tower that night was like evaporating from the world, and he couldn't be traced.
Yin Yu's heart was clouded, and because he knew that Li Lingyou was suffering from heart disease, he was more and more worried about her safety, and he couldn't wait to keep an eye on her all the time.
However, half of the fifteen days he had agreed with his hometown had passed, and in six or seven days, he should dutifully go to the court, and how he would leave the princess's mansion and confess to her, so that she would not be angry and turn him away.
Yin Yu had no clue, and was even a little afraid that day would come.
