Of course, what they said while strolling were just jokes. When it was really night, Li Qishen forgot what he wanted Xie Wangzhi to say and didn't give her a chance at all. He always had some rare tenderness and consideration for Xie Wangzhi, but he couldn't control himself all the time. When he got really excited, the fierceness and violence in his bones still unconsciously revealed, making it impossible for Xie Wangzhi to escape or beg for mercy. She whimpered and let him torture her.
After tossing and turning for half the night, Xie Wangzhi didn't feel uncomfortable at the time, but when she woke up the next day, she couldn't help feeling a little sore. She was groggy and curled up in the soft quilt, not wanting to wake up. But the sun had already faintly shone into the bed curtains, and it was time to wake up. She reluctantly opened her eyes and suddenly found that the pillow was a little wrong.
She slept quite well. Normally, no matter how unrestrained she was, she would at most wrap herself up in the quilt like a cocoon and hold a soft pillow in her arms. But now, she was leaning against Li Qishen, resting her head on one of his shoulders, almost sleeping in his arms.
How uncomfortable must it be to be pressed down all night? Xie Wangzhi thought that Li Qishen might need to rub his shoulders with blood-activating oil later, so he quickly stepped back a little, hesitantly pushed him gently, and said in a breathy voice: "...Eternal Life?"
"Awake?" Li Qishen didn't have the habit of taking a nap, so he closed his eyes and rested. He immediately responded, "Shall I call someone in?"
When you first wake up, you are always a little confused, but Li Qishen is not sleepy at all, his eyes are clear, and Xie Wangzhi is a little confused: "You... have woken up before?"
"I received a memorial and took a look. Fanzhi didn't let me off even during the ten-day break." Li Qishen was half-seriously annoyed for a moment, then smiled, "I have nothing to do today, so I can stick with you all day, don't think I'm annoying."
"… How could it be." It turned out to be a ten-day break. It seemed that Li Qishen was really lucky, otherwise he wouldn't have been so busy. Although he hadn't come for several days, he was a bit too much last night. Some fragments of memories came to his mind unconsciously, and Xie Wangzhi's face turned red again. He quickly pushed him, "Then, Your Majesty, please ask someone to come in. I need to wash up."
Li Qishen responded, casually opened the bed curtain, and shouted outside in a low voice. When he turned around, he was delicate and gentle again, carefully supporting Xie Wangzhi's waist and back, so that she could get up more comfortably. Xie Wangzhi didn't have much strength to begin with, so she could sit up smoothly with his support. However, no matter how careful Li Qishen was, he still had strength in his hands. When he touched her waist, she gasped slightly because it was sore.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Li Qishen quickly withdrew his hand and placed a soft pillow behind Xie Wangzhi's waist.
"A little bit." It was hard to explain the reason for the backache, but they were husband and wife after all, and the man in front of them was the culprit. Xie Wangzhi was shameless, his face flushed, he didn't dare to look at him, but he didn't let it go, "My legs are a little uncomfortable too... Isn't it all your fault?"
"It's my fault." The culprit apologized consciously and put his hand on her waist again, "Shall I rub it for you?"
The words sounded nice, and Li Qishen also looked sincere, with calm eyebrows and eyes, without any inappropriate hints. But Xie Wangzhi didn't believe him, and always felt that this man would take advantage of the situation and do something else, so he shook his head: "No, it will be fine in a while."
Li Qishen did not insist, and just lifted the curtain on the other side. Chunlan and Qiushuang just came in with toiletries. He had already washed up, so he simply got off the bed and gave the place to Xie Wangzhi. He just washed his face with some warm water from the extra basin.
After washing up, Qiu Shuang arranged Xie Wangzhi's hair as usual and asked her, "Madam, do you want to put on makeup today?"
Xie Wangzhi didn't like to put on makeup, not because she was proud of her beauty, but simply because it was always uncomfortable to put on rouge and powder on her face, and it was troublesome to wash it off at night. In addition, it is said that women dress up to please themselves, but Li Qishen could guess the other party's thoughts from the changes in the courtier's expression, but he couldn't see any difference between the lip balm she applied and the last time, and it seemed to make no difference whether it was beautiful or not.
She wanted to refuse, and was about to say "no", but Li Qishen spoke first: "Where are the makeup supplies?"
Qiu Shuang didn't expect the emperor to ask this, and was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, all the makeup supplies are on the dressing table, no need to get them from outside."
"Got it." Li Qishen looked at Xie Wangzhi, "Do you want to put on makeup?"
"No need." Xie Wangzhi shook his head and added in a low voice, "... You can't tell anyway."
She was mumbling in a low voice, Chunlan and Qiushuang didn't hear it, but Li Qishen had good hearing and heard it clearly. He suddenly smiled and said, "Go down."
Two palace maids responded, collected the things that were brought in, and carried them out as they were.
Xie Wangzhi didn't know that Li Qishen heard his little complaint, so he asked him with a smile: "Why are you suddenly asking about makeup?"
"I want to see those things, so that I won't be ignorant and make you laugh in the future."
This was a thoughtful thought, with a bit of intimacy between lovers. Xie Wangzhi didn't dislike it, but was a little shy. She cleared her throat to cover it up, and was about to persuade Li Qishen, but heard him continue.
Li Qishen still spoke in that light tone, but a faint smile appeared on his face, with a bit of dandy malice. He lowered his voice, "So that you won't scold me behind my back, saying that you can't tell whether I'm wearing makeup or not."
Xie Wangzhi blushed: "… I was just saying it casually, why did you take it so seriously?"
"I'm not blaming you." Li Qishen liked her slightly embarrassed look when she was teased. "I really want to know. I've been thinking about it these past few days. In fact, you and I are not that familiar with each other. It's just that I took advantage of you. I borrowed an identity to get along with you, and then I went to Fengzhou and fought against the rebels. I spent too little time on you."
He helped Xie Wangzhi sit down at the dressing table, took her hand, and gently kissed the back of the girl's thin white hand. The moment he lowered his eyes, his dense eyelashes drooped, as devout as a believer. "It's rare to have some free time. I want to see your things. It's good to know a little bit."
It was clearly a confession of the heart, and could be considered a love talk, but Xie Wangzhi could hear a sense of sadness. She pursed her lips, opened her dressing box, took out a small jar, and showed Li Qishen the finely ground powder inside: "This is for facial mask. When making it, put the finely ground powder in the unopened white jade hairpin bud. When you take it out at the right time, it will have the fragrance of white jade hairpin, so it is called white jade hairpin."
Li Qishen moved closer, looked at the fine white powder, and sniffed it gently: "It really smells like a white jade hairpin."
"Yes." Xie Wangzhi explained, "Applying it on the face can make the skin look whiter, and it also has a fragrance, so many people like it."
"What about you?"
"Well, I'm fine. I use it occasionally, otherwise the color of the rouge won't show up." Xie Wangzhi has fair skin and doesn't use powder very often. Besides, this is a bit dull when applied on the face. She put the white jade hairpin powder back, took out a few flatter boxes, lined them up, and opened them one by one. "Here, this is rouge."
Li Qishen took a quick look. The box was filled with different shades of red. He could tell some differences when he looked at each one, but he couldn't tell them apart when they were taken out individually. However, he couldn't express his intuition, so he nodded seriously, "I didn't know there were so many kinds."
"Of course there are many kinds. You can't always use the same color. If you're going to a banquet, you have to be more solemn. If you're going out to play, you can be brighter and liven up your complexion." Xie Wangzhi thought for a moment, then took out a few small shell-shaped boxes and opened them. "By the way, the same goes for lip balm. You have to apply different colors at different times, and choose the color to match the rouge."
There was another row of different shades of red, and Li Qishen was overwhelmed. He was afraid that Xie Wangzhi would suddenly ask him which color looked good, or ask him to tell the difference between each color. Then he would probably just bang his head against the bronze mirror. He quickly changed the subject and pretended to be interested in the things in the dressing box: "What about that, what is it?"
"Hmm? Oh, this is a flower ornament, and this is for dimples." Xie Wangzhi took the opportunity to look over and showed each one to Li Qishen. The last thing he picked up was thin, like a pen, but he couldn't find the tip of the pen. "This is for drawing eyebrows."
Li Qishen suddenly realized that the brush used for drawing eyebrows should not have a pen tip, otherwise it is not called drawing eyebrows, but brushing eyebrows. He nodded, and Xie Wangzhi took out a dark green object, which was small and shaped like a snail shell, and said, "Or you can take this, grind it in the inkstone, and then dip the brush into it to draw."
Li Qishen was convinced. He had always thought that women were really cruel to him. They spent so much time and effort on makeup, but he didn't expect that there were so many tricks that it would give him a headache. He sighed softly: "Then do you want to put on makeup?"
"No." Xie Wangzhi shook his head and put back everything he had taken out. "It's inconvenient, but it's no big deal. But if you think I'm not good-looking enough..."
She deliberately dragged out the sound, and there was a rare hint of evil in her clear eyes. Li Qishen understood and took the thin black brush from her hand: "Forget about the powder and rouge. May I ask if you have the courage to let me draw your eyebrows for you today?"
Xie Wangzhi was slightly stunned, first because Li Qishen called her that, and then because he actually took the brush. But this was also the joy of the boudoir, a loving couple, what they did behind closed doors, no one cared, she smiled and raised her head slightly: "Okay, then I'll trouble my husband to help, if the painting is not good, please go back to Changsheng Palace to sleep tonight."
Li Qishen couldn't help but smiled, lifted Xie Wangzhi's chin with one hand, and with the other hand, he held the black pen and gently touched her eyebrows. Her eyebrows were well-shaped, and without much effort, a little outline would make them beautiful mountain eyebrows.
Having said that, Li Qishen did not dare to take it lightly. His eyes fell on Xie Wangzhi's eyebrows, but the two were close, and the girl was reflected in the light amber pupils. Xie Wangzhi was dazed and thought that such a serious look was looking at him. She could see the cold and beautiful face, and also the black pen in his hand. This hand had well-proportioned bones and distinct knuckles. It should have held a pen or a gun, but now it was carefully holding something for a girl, carefully tracing the eyebrow shape for his wife.
Xie Wangzhi's heart moved slightly, and he said softly: "Eternal Life."
"Hmm?" Li Qishen was completely unaware. He finished the other side, put down the indigo brush, and motioned Xie Wangzhi to look at the bronze mirror. "How is it? Am I still qualified to sleep on your bed tonight?"
