Chapter 2: Unforgettable Beauty
Walking out of the Shoukang Palace, just turned to the corridor, Yu Lin caught a glimpse of a goose-yellow figure from a distance and entered the side hall lightly, followed by the maid in blue palace clothes.
Yu Lin lost his mind for a while, just looked back, and almost hit the pillar, "Long live Lord, be careful!" Thanks to Li Zhong's quick eyes and quick hands, he protected him by the side.
Yu Lin came back to his senses and still looked back in the direction of the side hall, but the figure had long disappeared without a trace, and Yu Lin was stunned for a while.
In the afternoon, in the Chengming Palace, Yu Lin was sitting in front of the black lacquer plate dragon pattern long case to review the chapter, his face was solemn, and his eyebrows were tightened.
His Royal Highness stood Li Zhong and his apprentice Xiao Dezi, seeing that the emperor was displeased, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out, the vast hall was silent, so quiet that even a needle fell to the ground could be heard.
"Nonsense!" Yu Lin slammed the piece in his hand on the case and said angrily.
Li Zhong hurriedly took the purple sand painting gold teapot and poured a cup of Longjing before the rain, brought it to Yu Lin, and said cautiously: "The emperor should take a sip of tea to dissipate the anger." ”
Yu Lin brushed his sleeves and got up, and said, "That's it, I have watched the recital for a long time, and I am very tired. Let's go to Yaohua Palace! ”
"Your Majesty, you forgot, the Queen Mother just ordered Concubine Rong to be grounded for fifteen days in the morning, and the emperor will go at this time, which is not appropriate."
Yu Lin also thought about it, and really felt that it was inappropriate, and replied: "Then go to Changyin Palace!" ”
As soon as the emperor's guard of honor arrived outside the gate of Changyin Pavilion, Shu Concubine Liu Qingwu greeted her, leaned over and bowed: "The concubine welcomes the emperor!" The maids behind him, Peizhu and Zhuxia, knelt down on their knees and bowed their heads to greet them.
Yu Lin stretched out his hand to help him, and said with a smile: "Shu Concubine, get up." I'm upset, let's see what you're doing. ”
Liu Qingwu smiled, indescribably charming and tactful, and said in a man-like voice: "Emperor Xie is worried." The weaving bureau had just sent a few batches of brocade, and the concubine was about to choose a batch to cut into clothes. The woman is pleasing to the person, and it just so happened that the emperor came and asked the emperor to pick and choose for the concubines. As he spoke, he took Yu Lin's hand and came to the inner hall.
Sure enough, there were six or seven batches of silk brocade scattered on the vermilion lacquer painted gold kang table by the south window, with Rui pattern brocade in lotus root color, lilac entwined grape pattern silk, and light vermilion peacock pattern woven silk, colorful, dazzling people for a while.
Yu Lin saw a batch of goose-yellow moire jacquard brocades, and his heart suddenly flashed the goose-yellow beauty and the incomparably beautiful face, and said with a smile: "I see that this goose-yellow brocade is very good-looking, and Shu Concubine can be used to make a long gown." ”
Shu Jiaofei smiled: "The emperor has a very good vision. It's just that this goose yellow is delicate, more suitable for cardamom girls, and the concubine is no longer young, and it seems inappropriate to be a mother. ”
Yu Lin saw her thin powder, beautiful eyebrows like willows, apricot eyes with spring, red lips like cherries, very coquettish. A long black hair is pulled into a falling bun, a royal blue dotted emerald pearl hairpin is obliquely inserted in the hair, wearing a blue pipa robe, the waist is not enough to hold it, and she also smiled: "Shu Concubine can't be presumptuous, I see that you are beautiful and moving, and your demeanor has not diminished." ”
Concubine Shu chuckled and said, "Emperor Xie praised." Yuning also said yesterday that she hadn't seen her father for a while, how about the concubine let the nurse bring her? ”
Princess Yuning is Yu Lin's third daughter, born to Concubine Shu, who is only three years old this year. Yu Lin ascended the throne at the age of 20 and succeeded to the throne, but in seven or eight years, there were not many concubines, there were few heirs, there were only three princesses under his knees, and there was no prince yet.
Yu Lin readily agreed, he had indeed not seen this youngest daughter for some days.
Shu Concubine Xi was busy and the nurse hugged Princess Yuning over. Yu Ningsheng's pink makeup is jade, wearing a pink butterfly cardigan with flowers, and a few small velvet flowers on her head, Yuxue is cute.
Shu Concubine hugged her, and Yu Lin picked up a bamboo dragonfly to tease her.
Concubine Shu saw that Yu Lin was in a good mood, and took the opportunity to say: "The concubine asked the small kitchen to prepare the emperor's favorite osmanthus shark fin, the emperor can eat here at night, and you can also play with Yuning for a while, and see how happy Yuning is to see her father." Yu Lin casually agreed.
Concubine Shu is a very smart person, she knows that now Concubine Rong is grounded, it is a good time for herself to win more favor, in the past, she attached herself to Concubine Rong in order to protect herself, Concubine Rong relied on her family background, she was domineering, moody, suppressed her everywhere, and prevented her from sharing favors. She was also cautious everywhere and swallowed her anger, lest she offend Concubine Rong herself, and later fortunately conceived a dragon fetus, gave birth to Princess Yuning, and was named Concubine Shu, so that she could take the throne of the first palace.
At dinner time, Concubine Shu ordered a table full of delicacies, and after the meal, she tried her best to play the piano and sing songs, and tried her best to envelop her. Yu Lin also felt happy, and he didn't turn over the cards at night, and stayed directly in Changyin Palace.
In the middle of the night, I woke up suddenly, and saw a bright moonlight reflected in the hibiscus tent, a clear light, and the concubine Shu next to her was sleeping peacefully, snorting slightly.
Yu Lin looked at the bright moonlight outside the window, and the goose-yellow figure in the day appeared in his heart, the beautiful but slightly sad face, and he was completely sleepy for a while, and he couldn't sleep.
