Chapter 49 His delicate beauty can help or kill anyone she wants
Zhao Yuanchun blushed and continued, "I don't have much to show for myself, but I know a little about embroidery. This is a gift I prepared for you, sister. I hope you don't mind."
The palace maid behind her hurriedly handed over the box in her hand.
Love took it in her hand and opened it, and saw a neatly folded handkerchief inside.
Unlike the bamboo orchid pattern, this handkerchief is embroidered with a golden raccoon cat.
The raccoon slave was vivid and lifelike.
Love took out the handkerchief and opened it, and was surprised to find that there was a silver raccoon on the other side.
It is also lifelike, with every detail visible.
Luo Fu praised: "Sister, you have such a skillful hand. I can't bear to use such a delicate handkerchief."
Seeing that she didn't dislike it, Zhao Yuanchun relaxed a little and said with a shy smile, "As long as you like it, sister."
She wanted to make friends, but she was unfamiliar and reserved, so Love passed on a message to her so that she wouldn't be too nervous.
But Zhao Yuanchun didn't stay long. After exchanging pleasantries for a while and exchanging ages, he got up and left.
Murong Jin looked at him half-heartedly, then walked over and asked lazily, "Are you planning to protect this talented person in the future?"
Everyone can see the purpose of Zhao Yuanchun's coming.
Luo Fu didn't object either. She told Ting Lan to prepare some suitable gifts and send them to Jinfu Pavilion. "It's not about protection, but if I can help, I will."
If her grandmother hadn't helped her at home, she probably wouldn't have grown up.
Now that you have grown up, you should pass on this kindness.
Murong Jin didn't care. His beautiful lady could help or kill anyone she wanted.
"My dear lady, please think about yourself. The lantern show will start soon and you haven't eaten yet." He walked over and prepared to watch her eat.
Luo Fu was still thinking about the ice cream: "Then remember to ask someone to prepare the ice cream."
Murong Jin smiled, still remembering it.
I thought she would be out watching the lantern show and would be hot, so it wouldn't be a big deal for her to have some ice cream, so I didn't stop her.
After receiving the promise, the beauty started to eat seriously.
After the meal, the three eunuchs Chang'an, Deshun and Shouzhong had already prepared the canopy and large fan.
Tinglan and Qinghe also prepared some things and looked ready for battle.
Luo Fu was stunned: "What are you doing?"
Several people hurriedly said: "The servants will help the noble man to leave."
Love: ………
She was a little amused and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm just a noble lady. What a shame it is for you to make such a big scene. It wouldn't be nice if people saw you. Also, where did you get those big umbrellas and fans?"
Several people froze in their tracks. Fortunately, Chang An reacted quickly and said hurriedly, "My Lord, this was found in the storeroom."
Luo Fu shook her head in her heart. They just took whatever they found in the warehouse without considering whether it was against the rules. Chang An and the other two were still not as smart as Chang Jin.
She didn't blame him: "Put it back. It's just a little bit of sunshine. I don't need it."
Chang An and the other two looked up and glanced at Murong Jin who was standing next to Luo Fu, then hurriedly put the things down.
Murong Jin took the round fan from Ting Lan, half-circled around Luo Fu and said, "Your Excellency doesn't need those, so let them stay behind. I will accompany you."
Luo Fu did not move, and asked the palace maids and eunuchs around her: "I want to go to see the lantern show, do you want to go?"
Several people shuddered and immediately shook their heads.
Luo Fu was a little surprised that they refused so quickly, but she didn't force it: "Okay, then you can stay at home and play. Chang Jin, let's go."
Murong Jin's face darkened when he heard that she seemed to have brought these palace maids and eunuchs into her territory again.
Tinglan heard that several khans had also come down. Fortunately, the emperor has not killed many people recently. Although he was unhappy, he didn't do anything serious.
After watching the emperor walk out with the beautiful lady in a circle, Ting Lan and the others dared to wipe the sweat from their foreheads with their sleeves.
I secretly made up my mind to serve Love well.
They all saw clearly that in the current situation, if they angered the emperor one day, with Love's words, they might be able to save their lives.
Love didn't know if she could still protect people now.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and even palace maids and eunuchs were rare on the palace roads.
She could hardly open her eyes.
A round fan was extended to block the view from above, and with the shadow covering her, she could open her eyes wide. Luo Fu smiled at Chang Jin who served her wholeheartedly, expressed her gratitude, and walked forward.
Murong Jin held a round fan above Luo Fu, and the dark look on his face faded away when she smiled.
He looked at her face carefully and suddenly regretted bringing her out at this time.
She became a beautiful rose again due to the heat.
Fortunately, she was in high spirits, and the lantern show was not far away.
The two walked out from the shadows under the eaves of the palace road, and saw a large colorful gate with fluttering colorful satin.
Love looked up and saw that the colorful gate was still covered with black cloth that seemed to stretch endlessly.
Luo Fuqi asked, "Where is this? Why is there a colorful door covered with black cloth?"
Murong Jin circled her in and said, "The black cloth absorbs heat. My dear, aren't you afraid of the heat? It's very cool inside."
Love followed him in. After a few steps, the light suddenly dimmed, as if night had fallen.
Love was startled and subconsciously grabbed Changjin's arm.
His hand reached out at the right time, wrapping her hand coldly and powerfully.
Love felt a little relieved, turned around and looked back, and saw that the colorful door she came in through had been tightly sealed.
She panicked again: "Who sealed the door?"
Could there be someone trying to steal money and kill people in the important inner court?
Murong Jin smiled upon seeing this, and said in a somewhat malicious tone, "Are you feeling cool now, my lord?"
Love grabbed his sleeve with her other hand as well: "I still think the hot spot is better. Let's go out."
She grabbed his sleeve and walked towards the door.
Suddenly, there was light on both sides and human figures appeared. Love was on guard, but the sudden light and human figures made her shudder, and she subconsciously leaned towards the person next to her.
The person next to her generously gave her a broad chest, which completely embraced her in his arms.
Murong Jin's eyes were filled with joy: "What are you afraid of?"
Since no bad guys were rushing towards her, Love finally had the mood to observe the light.
It turned out that they were lanterns made of characters from various operas, standing on both sides, creating a path in the originally dark road ahead.
No wonder it’s so bright and full of people.
Luo Fu calmed down and looked carefully. She saw that the lantern was held up by a long pole with various brocades tied on it.
A gentle breeze blows, and the brocade and the characters of the opera flutter together...
Luo Fu reacted and looked up at Chang Jin: "Is this the lantern show you mentioned?" It was like a ghost...
With the beauty in his arms, her fragrance was so pleasant, Murong Jin nodded with pleasure and said deliberately, "Isn't she beautiful?"
Love: …………
She didn't want to discourage him, so she just walked forward and said, "Didn't you say there was a troupe of opera performers rehearsing? Why aren't they here?"
Murong Jin looked at his empty arms, curled his lips in dissatisfaction, followed with his hands folded, and said, "This is just the beginning. Please go inside."
Love walked to the end of the long path lined with lanterns decorated with acrobatic characters.
The end was dark and I didn't know what was hidden there.
Love leaned towards Chang Jin without any hope.
She was afraid that a ghost would suddenly appear.
Just as I was thinking about it, the dark front suddenly became bright.
Fortunately, they were not ghosts, but two cute little boy and girl lanterns that looked like New Year dolls.
Before you can take a closer look, it's like a spark that spreads across a prairie, with the light spreading out in patches and extending upwards.
But in just a few breaths, the dark front turned into a colorful scene.
The colorful lights complement each other.
Gods and immortals from all ages are surrounding and in the sky above.
The two Bodhisattvas, as big as hills, have solemn appearances, with colorful ribbons flying around their bodies and streams of water spurting out from between their fingers when they are pinching their fingers.
Luo Fu felt as if she was among the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
She opened her eyes wide, looked around with her head tilted back in confusion.
“Why is there something high up there, and there’s something above there…”
The paintings are vivid and lifelike, with rows of trees piled up one after another, and even hanging in the air, radiating light, which is really magical.
Luo Fu was busy looking at the dreamy fairy lanterns, but Murong Jin just looked at her. When she was overwhelmed and almost fell down because of looking around, he reached out and hugged her, motioning her to look back.
As soon as Love turned around, the sound of flute music started.
A man and a woman walked out of the darkness, wearing colorful costumes, performing a simple and funny play.
Like an introduction, just as Love finished watching, performances of ball-hitting, kicking balls, pole climbing, and medicinal puppetry came rushing over.
Thus, all the gods and Buddhas in heaven were transformed into a world of singing and dancing.
Love had never seen such a lively scene before. She couldn't even take it all in. She grabbed Changjin's arms with both hands, and her whole body was filled with unprecedented excitement.
In the crowded crowd of acrobats, Murong Jin held her in his arms from behind and let her use him as a guardrail.
He lowered his eyes to look at her excited and gorgeous face, his expression also extremely satisfied: "How is it now, does it still look like a ghost?"
Luo Fu quickly shook her head, her radiant peach blossom eyes fixed on the vivid puppet: "So beautiful, so beautiful!"
She said it twice, then lowered her head and took out all the money in her purse and wanted to give it to the other person.
Murong Jin circled her back and said, "Your Excellency, you forgot, this is not outside. They are the imperial court's acrobatic troupe, and they are rehearsing now."
Luo Fu remembered what she had just heard and had to put the money back in her pocket. She praised, "It's only been a rehearsal, and they're so wonderful! They're truly amazing! Your Majesty will surely reward them generously, right?"
Murong Jin said, "Of course, if they can make the noble happy as soon as they start performing, His Majesty will reward them with a thousand gold coins each."
Luo Fu thought he was referring to a long-standing custom and praised him with satisfaction, "Your Majesty is truly very kind to others. This makes all their hard work worthwhile."
She didn't notice that as soon as she finished speaking, the puppet she liked bent one of its legs.
The man holding the puppet broke out in a cold sweat, his mind went blank, and his hands were controlling the puppet out of inertia, thinking that he would be dragged down and beheaded in the next moment.
But there was no movement for a long time.
Only then did he dare to raise his eyes quietly, and found that the emperor and the nobleman were no longer there, but had walked behind the man selling painted sugar figures in front.
There are no shops or stalls here. The sugar figures are already drawn and neatly inserted into clean straw bundles. Just like the candied haws sellers, they are carried on their shoulders as they walk forward.
Luo Fu was still looking around, and curiously asked the people around her, "How did you find such a lively and fun place? Are you familiar with the manager here?"
"Yes, although I don't have any great abilities, I have been in the inner court since I was a child, so I know quite a few people. I saw that the noble was always in the room, so I greeted the steward here and brought the noble here to see the fun first."
Murong Jin lied easily, and casually took a sugar figurine with a lady's pattern from the straw in front of him and handed it to the delicate beauty beside him: "Last time, you gave me one, this time I will give you one in return."
Love took it, but she didn't look happy and was a little hesitant.
Murong Jin's mouth sank, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Excellency doesn't like it?"
Luo Fu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so she lowered her voice and said, "You didn't give them any money."
Murong Jin was stunned.
Luo Fu took two quick steps and quietly inserted the sugar figure back into the straw bundle. She came back and said, "You said they were the Imperial Court's acrobatic troupe. These things probably have a fixed number. If something is missing, they will definitely have to buy it themselves or prepare it again. If they can make up for it, it's fine. But if they don't pay attention and someone discovers the mistake on the day of the performance for His Majesty, even if His Majesty doesn't care, their troupe leader will definitely scold him. Don't take other people's things next time."
After she finished speaking, she saw Chang Jin looking at her with a very strange expression, and then he put his hands behind his back and couldn't help laughing.
Love was startled and quickly stood on tiptoe to cover his mouth: "We are rehearsing, don't disturb them!"
She lowered her voice and looked around again.
Fortunately, the noise around was quite loud and everyone was focused on their own things. No one looked over here. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Chang Jin. Seeing that he was just squinting his narrow eyes and was not laughing anymore, she withdrew her hand.
Murong Jin stared at her with a smile and said lazily, "This servant was just trying to please you, Your Excellency, but I didn't expect to displease you."
He folded his hands and looked at the performer beside him, sighing, "It seems that one really needs to have a special skill. The nobleman only watched for a moment, and his mind was on someone else. I, an old friend, will fall out of favor."
Luo Fu had already witnessed his unusually competitive nature in the shop outside, so she wasn't surprised. She soothed him, "No, there's no newcomer. I'm just reminding you that you haven't fallen out of favor. The lantern show you brought me to see was wonderful, and I'm very happy. If there's anything you want, I'll find it for you."
Murong Jin raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the beautiful woman in front of him who wanted to give him something.
He thought about it carefully: "I want..."
Luo Fu waited for him to speak, but he remained silent. She said with understanding and tolerance: "It's okay if you can't remember it at the moment. You can tell me when you think of it later."
She then went to admire the lanterns and the surrounding acrobatics.
Murong Jin stared at her, a sick expression creeping onto his face.
It was like a snake's tail was revealed, silently wrapping around the delicate beauty next to it.
But this beauty still knows nothing about it.
The sick snake became even more unscrupulous and wrapped itself even tighter.
He has been taking what he wants for himself.
If I tell it to you later, I don’t know if such a delicate person can bear it.
Will she be scared and run away from him?
But even if she wanted to escape, she couldn't...
