"Miss, it's ready. Look in the mirror and see if you're satisfied." Bai Yu's joyful voice sounded in her ears.
In the past few months, the lady has been dressing plainly and casually, but this is the first time she has dressed up so carefully. If you want to enter the palace to see Empress Jieyu, you cannot be careless.
Bai Yu has a clever mind and skillful hands, and spent a lot of thought on it.
Ling Jingshu hummed absentmindedly and looked at herself in the mirror.
The willow eyebrows are curved, and the eyes are like autumn water. A thin layer of powder was applied to her face, making her facial features appear brighter and clearer.
The long hair is half pulled up, and the remaining green hair hangs down to the chest softly. The pearl earrings on the ears shine with a round luster, complementing the pearl hairpins.
The clothes are a light rouge color, the moon-white long skirt is soft and elegant, the belt is the same color as the clothes, making the waist appear slim, the figure is slim and beautiful, and the grace is charming.
The girl in the mirror is both familiar and strange.
It seems that he is still the same person in his previous life who didn't know the sinister nature of people's hearts. He always likes to spend time in front of the dressing mirror every day, dressing himself up to be incomparably beautiful. It's a pity that things have changed now...
Bai Yu smiled and praised: "Miss, you are so beautiful today."
Ling Jingshu didn't look happy, she just smiled faintly.
Bai Yu then put on a small and exquisite sachet for Ling Jingshu. The sachet was also inlaid with pearls and hung from her waist, swaying and adding a lot of color.
"Sixth Miss is really generous this time." Bai Yu laughed softly and said, "I specially sent new clothes and jewelry yesterday."
Ling Jingshu couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Ling Jingyan's obviously distressed but pretending to be generous look: "When I come back, these clothes and jewelry must be returned to her. Otherwise, she will be distressed for who knows how long."
The master and servant looked at each other and smiled.
A familiar playful voice sounded near the door: "Okay, I kindly loaned you my dress and jewelry, but you arranged for me behind my back. I caught you this time, let's see how you explain it to me."
Ling Jingyan walked in quickly, talking non-stop.
Ling Jingshu pretended to sigh helplessly: "Since I was caught by you, I have nothing to say. How to deal with Faluo is up to you."
"Glib tongue!"
Ling Jingyan wanted to grimace, but couldn't, and burst out laughing. Looking at Ling Jingshu carefully again, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah Shu, you look really good in this outfit."
Of course.
Bai Yu straightened her chest subconsciously, and her heart was filled with pride.
There was a bit of sourness in Ling Jingyan's tone: "What you usually wear is too simple. From now on, dress up properly when you go out."
Ling Jingshu pretended to sigh helplessly: "I dress casually when I go out, and it's not because of you."
Ling Jingyan nodded first, then when she thought something was wrong, she glared over again: "I don't want you to give in to me."
Ling Jingshu laughed happily, and the original sigh in her heart quickly disappeared.
"Miss, the carriage from the palace has arrived." The little maid Chun Cao came to report in a hurry. She probably ran too fast, and her face turned red: "My wife is talking to Miss Xinyun and wants you to come over immediately!"
Ling Jingshu smiled and said, "I understand, let's go."
Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Jiang were chatting with Xinyun.
After Ling Jingshu came in, everyone felt their eyes brighten. Mrs. Sun was extremely satisfied. She smiled and warned, "Ah Shu, when you go to the palace to see the empress today, you need to be careful in your words and deeds. You must not be rash and bump into empress Jieyu."
Ling Jingshu responded one by one and soon left with Xinyun.
Mrs. Sun led her daughter-in-law and daughter to escort them to the carriage in person. When the carriage disappeared, she breathed a long sigh of relief, clasped her hands together and murmured: "God bless, A-Shu's entry into the palace will go smoothly today, but don't worry." It would be better if something went wrong."
Mrs. Jiang supported Mrs. Sun weakly and said with a smile: "Ah Shu is thoughtful and smart. She will be able to handle it safely. How could something go wrong? Mother-in-law, please rest assured."
Sun smiled and nodded, but she couldn't get rid of the not-so-good premonition in her heart.
…
In the carriage, Ling Jingshu and Xinyun were sitting opposite each other, Bai Yu was sitting next to Ling Jingshu, and two little maids were sitting next to Xinyun.
There was silence in the huge carriage.
Xinyun remained calm and did not open his mouth to speak. He kept paying attention to Ling Jingshu's every move from the corner of his eye.
Ling Jingshu was also calm, sitting upright without even moving a hair.
Not to mention anything else, just this calmness and calmness is enough to make people look at him in a new light.
Xinyun thought to himself, and opened his mouth to break the silence: "This is the first time for Miss Ling to enter the palace, and she is not familiar with the situation in the palace. You will follow me into the palace later. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask That’s it for me.”
Ling Jingshu smiled slightly: "Thank you Miss Xinyun for reminding me, I just want to ask you something! Is Princess Anya feeling well now?"
Xinyun sighed softly and said: "Princess Anya has been weak since she was a child. She has been slightly unwell and it is normal for her to stay in bed for two or three months. This time she was frightened by falling into the water and suffered from cold. She has been bedridden since she returned to the palace. Imperial Physician Wei opened the door He gave her a prescription to regulate her body and gave her daily acupuncture. It was only in the past two days that she could barely get out of bed and move around."
Thinking of the delicate, simple and lovely Princess Anya, Ling Jingshu couldn't help but sigh.
Sure enough, nothing is perfect in this world. God gave her an extremely noble status, but also gave her such a weak body.
"What kind of pastime does Empress Jieyu like to do on weekdays?" Ling Jingshu couldn't directly ask Wei Jieyu if she had a kind temperament, so she simply asked the easiest question to answer.
Xinyun said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not very interested in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She likes to make some female celebrities to pass the time."
It is well known that Wei Jieyu came from a humble background. She had never learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. After entering the palace, she would not be able to learn anything like those concubines with good backgrounds. It's normal not to like these.
"After the empress goes to pay her respects to the empress every morning, she will return to Lingbo Palace and rarely goes to other empresses' palaces."
Xinyun was quite considerate, and without waiting for Ling Jingshu to ask, he spoke in detail: "The empress is well-known in the palace for her kind temperament. When the palace maids and chamberlains make mistakes, they are only punished with minor punishments at most, and they are slapped with a slap in the face. It is very rare. The fact that we can serve in Lingbo Palace is also a blessing gained from our previous lives."
It can be seen that Xinyun's words are from the bottom of his heart and are not flattering.
It seems that this Wei Jieyu is not difficult to get along with.
Ling Jingshu felt a little relieved and became a little more curious about Wei Jieyu.
The carriage finally stopped.
Xinyun smiled and said: "We have already arrived at the palace gate. Miss Ling, please get off the carriage and enter the palace with me!" (To be continued)
