Chapter 286: A Good Show (18)
Once, twice, three times......
If it's wrong, just jump it again.
The action is not beautiful enough, and do it all over again.
Ning Yunyao practiced hard over and over again alone in the empty room, and finally she practiced her experience and became more proficient. Everything is going for the better......
Practice late at night until dawn.
"WhewβI'm so tired." Only then did she realize that she had not slept all night.
Seeing that Dongfang gradually turned white, the purple cicada was no longer by her side, she had to pack everything by herself and rush to Concubine Xiao's palace as soon as possible to change her dance clothes and makeup.
Emperor Zhao didn't know where he was interested, and suddenly visited Suo Qingwu Palace for breakfast.
Bixi and the little palace maids hurriedly welcomed Emperor Zhao in.
He lifted the curtain and shouted inside, "Little master, the emperor is here." β
Suo Qingwu was so shocked that she immediately stood up from the embroidery stool and wiped the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief. "Really?"
Bixi replied with a smile: "It's true, the emperor came here for breakfast here." β
Suo Qingwu waved his hand, "Then what are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up to the imperial dining room to say hello and pick up the dishes. By the way, you must add the emperor's favorite eight-treasure duck. β
"Yes, little lord, I see." Bixi smiled and responded.
As soon as Bixi stepped out, she walked in with Emperor Zhao supported by Gonggong Hai.
Suo Qingwu raised his eyes and saw that Emperor Zhao was expressionless and couldn't see anything. It's just that Grandpa Hai keeps squinting and smiling.
Suo Qingwu concluded that the emperor's mood should be good, if he was in a bad mood or was too angry, Gonggong Hai's expression must be dignified. And in addition, it is not yet the early dynasty, so the emperor should not have anything to worry about.
"Qingwu greets the emperor." Suo Qingwu said softly, his body soft.
Seeing that Emperor Zhao was very moved, sure enough, the young woman was good.
Not only does he have a good-looking face, a wicker figure, and a graceful demeanor, but even a smile is so dementoring. Looks like I've come to the right place.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Emperor Zhao reached out to help her.
Suo Qingwu took the opportunity to grasp Emperor Zhao's big hand, and his eyes were full of admiration and love, which made Emperor Zhao's body heat up quickly, and he only hated why it wasn't night at this time.
"I came to you for breakfast, and it won't bother you."
Emperor Zhao said this quite politely, his identity as a dignified ninety-five honor, using the word "disturb", can be regarded as quite worthy of Suo Qingwu.
What about Suo Qingwu? Naturally, it was flattered.
"Your Majesty, where are you, you can come to the concubine for breakfast, the concubine feels very honored." Suo Qingwu smiled and fell into Emperor Zhao's arms, as well-behaved as a little white rabbit.
Emperor Zhao naturally liked it even more, he greedily stretched out his other hand to Suo Qingwu's back, but suddenly remembered that the eunuchs and palace maids were here, and they really couldn't damage their imperial image, so he just gently stroked Suo Qingwu's back, and there was no further action.
Suo Qingwu led Emperor Zhao to the table, and Emperor Zhao glanced at it.
Surprised: "Is that all you eat?" β
Thinking of the delicacies of the mountains and seas on weekdays, there are more than 20 dishes just for breakfast, and there must be meat and vegetarian dishes, all in the sky and on the ground. And seeing Suo Qingwu's thin two or three dishes, with a bowl of thin millet porridge, it was really shabby.
Don't say that this is the palace, the residence of the Son of Heaven, even if it is in the Zhongtang Mansion, I'm afraid it won't be so shabby.
"Why are you doing this?" Emperor Zhao held Suo Qingwu's hand tightly, "Now that the anti-corruption case is going well, the treasury has collected a lot of silver. You women don't have to save so hard for the country, including the queen, and I persuaded her to make a few more new clothes a few days ago. I haven't seen her in new clothes for years. β
Hehe, Suo Qingwu thought to herself, have you not seen the queen in new clothes for several years? You haven't seen the queen in years.
Moreover, there is another thing you said wrong. I'm not saving at all, I'm just used to eating very little for breakfast. When I was in Zhongtang Mansion before, I could even drink just a bowl of white porridge.
Although Suo Qingwu thought so in her heart, she didn't say so on her lips. She still follows her own unique set of coquettish skills, perfectly disguises herself as a harmless white rabbit for humans and animals, taking into account the overall situation, and can bear it.
Of course, Emperor Zhao ate this set.
For so many years, he has been looking forward to a well-behaved and sensible woman who is easy to be controlled by himself.
Although the queen is sensible, her appearance and ability to please men are very inferior, and he has never liked her from head to toe. If it weren't for political necessity, he wouldn't have been able to marry her.
Fang Guiren is delicate and cute, and his temperament is gentle, but his life is too short.
Wan Guifei is his favorite, the most able to make him happy, and also has the most appearance and the ability to please men. It's a pity that he also went to die.
Now only Suo Qingwu and Concubine Xiao are left, and they are barely in line with his wishes.
"Since you're like this, then I'll be thrifty with you. Just think of it as for the country and the people, if he will spread it out in the future, it will also be a good story. Emperor Zhao said and sat down directly.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean...... A simple bite to eat? Suo Qingwu confirmed again.
Emperor Zhao nodded, "Well, just ask them to serve you another portion of what you eat." β
"Your favorite eight-treasure duck......
"Hey, no, no. If it's a simple meal, why harm a life. β
Oh. Now that you think about it, if you eat a duck, you have to kill it once. You used to kill more than a dozen people at every turn, and you didn't touch a single chopstick after many dishes were served.
Suo Qingwu scolded secretly in his heart: hypocrisy.
But her fingers swung in her sleeve, and after the little palace maid saw her code, she hurriedly ran to the imperial dining room to stop the eight-treasure duck.
"Your Majesty, if you are not used to eating and are hungry, your concubines will become sinners......"
Emperor Zhao waved his hand, "No, no." I won't be hungry, even if I'm really hungry, I can go to Concubine Xiao's for lunch earlier. β
Suo Qingwu had long known that Concubine Xiao had made an appointment with the emperor for lunch on this day, and Concubine Xiao had not only prepared good wine and food, but also prepared a good-looking song and dance performance, and Ning Yunyao was one of the big gift packages that would be given to the emperor.
Suo Qingwu muttered and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, can you not go?" β
"Not going? This ......" Emperor Zhao's beard suddenly moved very unnaturally, and his eyes began to become a little flustered. "But I have already promised Concubine Xiao, and the gentleman has made a word, and the horse is difficult to chase. Don't you want me to lose my trust? β
Suo Qingwu fell into Emperor Zhao's arms, "No, no, I also want you to have lunch with me." β
