Yong Ruo fully understands Concubine Shen's inner breakdown!
If in the previous life, someone told her that a woman with frostbite scars on her hands and feet, skin as thick as old tree bark, and body as thin as a reed stick was the most beautiful woman in the world, she would directly spray: You are blind!
"That's right!" Feng Liao said very confidently, "Beauty lies in the bones, the spirit, and the charm, not the skin! The skin is not good, just take care of it. Yong's bones, looks, and charm , but it couldn't be more rare!"
Pointing to Yong Ruo's face, he commented on the beauty very carefully and meticulously: "Mother, look at Yong's face...the forehead is plump, neither protruding nor sunken; the bridge of the nose is straight and impartial. Based on these two points alone, there is a A clear and elegant air rushes towards my face, how can it be compared to those women whose whole body color is only on one face?!"
The color of the whole body is only on one face
Yong Ruo let out a muffled laugh in his heart: Feng Liao's words are too hurtful!
Feng Liao said again: "Let's look at her eyebrows again... The eyebrows are slightly higher, the eyebrows are thicker, the eyebrows are dark and thick, and the tails of the eyebrows are flying, just like the strange peaks and mountains in the landscape painting; the eye sockets are slightly deep, the eyelashes are black and long, She has a charming figure and sparkling eyes, just like the soft water and clear stream in the painting. When these eyebrows and eyes are put together, it is a vivid picture of a beautiful landscape... The so-called picturesque eyebrows are probably so!
"Also, Yongmei's lips are shaped like water chestnuts, neither thick nor thin; the chin is small and exquisite, neither sharp nor blunt; the cheeks are flat and small, the muscles are close to the ears, the neck is soft and the back is straight, the waist is slender and the legs are long..."
He asked Concubine Shen confidently and confidently: "Isn't such a woman with a beautiful face and a celestial figure a beauty in the world?"
Even though Yong Ruo had always had a thick skin, Feng Liao's compliment made her blush a little!
She stood there with her eyes downcast, with a smile on her lips, and suddenly thought of the classic line in the movie "The Lion's Roar in the River East": "...I will always think you are the most beautiful..." However, she was certainly happy to hear these words, but it was also... Too much hate!
Concubine Shen silently listened to Feng Liao's comments on the beauties, and then looked at Yong Ruo carefully, the look on her face... it was beyond words!
Princess Ying's expression became a little subtle, and she couldn't help touching her face. All the women and maids desperately lowered their heads and calmed down, as if they were all holding back their laughter.
Seeing that Concubine Shen was in a daze, Feng Liao let go of Yong Ruo, went to Concubine Shen's precious red sandalwood couch and sat down obliquely, supported Concubine Shen's arm and said, "Concubine Mother, is your son right?"
Concubine Shen stared at him for a while with a blank face, then looked at Princess Ying, who looked a little embarrassed, and said, "Your second sister-in-law is still here! You are so elevating the Yong family and belittling women in the world, but you can put your second sister-in-law in the In the eyes?!"
Feng Liao said with a smile: "Mother concubine has wronged her son! How can I belittle the women in the world, I just look down on those stupid girls who are ugly and don't know it, and want to climb high if they don't know what they can do. Besides, why should the concubine mother use it?" The second sister-in-law is talking about things? The second sister-in-law is a dignified princess, always virtuous and virtuous, graceful and magnanimous, and she can't compare with the beauty of the Yong family, who is a seductive servant? That's too cheap!"
Although Feng Liao derogated him as "the generation who serves others with color", Yong Ruo quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Otherwise... you will offend the two bosses of the King's Mansion at the same time!
Concubine Shen choked hard again.
Concubine Ying's complexion improved a little, and she quickly went down the steps: "Thank you, Concubine Mother, for defending me! However, what the third brother said makes sense! As a sister-in-law, can I be as beautiful as the third brother's concubine? "
Feng Liao clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Exactly! As the saying goes: Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man, taking concubines and seductive women; also saying: Turnips and green vegetables, each has his own love. There are thousands of beauties in women in this world, and sons love them all. It's Yongmeiren's. It's a natural temperament, and no one can do anything about it."
Concubine Shen glared at Princess Ying fiercely: "You still speak for this demon king? You listen to what he said...'The color of the whole body is only on the skin', who are you talking about?"
Feng Liao said: "It's about my mother and concubine insisting on rewarding my two toads last time! Ugly people are even uglier, so ugly that it makes me want to vomit, but they still think they are beautiful, and they have the cheek to want to climb high. Damn it! Isn't it just 'the color of the whole body is only on one face'? They don't even think about it: which toad can climb a tree?"
Slightly gritted his teeth, and pointedly said: "A toad who is overreaching and climbing high branches will fall to his death sooner or later! If he can't fall to death, I will kick him and fly away. Disgusting me!"
Concubine Shen's face was green and red for a while: "Is that why you look down on the girl next to me?"
Feng Liao nodded vigorously, and looked at her sincerely: "Yes! The concubine mother likes radishes, and the son likes cabbage, so you'd better stop making beauties for your son! The concubine mother should keep the girl she likes for herself! The son is not blessed to suffer!"
When Yong Ruo heard this, he finally understood a little bit!
Before she came in, Concubine Shen repeated her old trick, wanting to give some of her girls to Feng Liao as concubines, right? No wonder Feng Liao praised her appearance so much! He is trying to block the way for Concubine Shen to reward him with girls, and to stop the girls in Shou'an Hall from thinking about him, right
This is a method that spares no room, but is not very disobedient.
But this can also be seen in general: Feng Liao is really a pure and good boy!
He probably hasn't had much contact with the dark side of the back house, and he probably didn't expect that doing so would make her a target of public criticism, causing her to be targeted by countless open and hidden arrows.
Fortunately, she has the golden finger of Lulu, so she won't die at a young age like many famous concubines and concubines in history!
Concubine Shen had a sullen face, looked at Fengliao for a moment, then turned her head to look at Yongruo, gritted her teeth and asked, "Yongshi, do you also think you are the best in the world?"
Yong Ruo thought to himself: It's really hard to answer what Concubine Shen said. To say "yes" is too much against my will; to say "no" is to slap Feng Liao in the face again. Feng Liao is now her immediate boss! How could you slap him in the face in front of the big boss? !
He said: "Back to the concubine. I am young and have little knowledge. I have never seen many women, and I don't know whether I am beautiful or ugly. However, since I am highly regarded by the county prince, I dare not be arrogant. , insisting that he was born ugly."
Concubine Shen snorted: "You can talk!"
Yong Ruo bowed slightly, then stood silent, neither hitting the snake on the stick, flattering the concubine exquisitely, nor pretending to be modest and saying some polite words. Concubine Shen is in a fit of anger, she should say less and make less mistakes!
"How did you know Prince Heng?" Concubine Shen began to interrogate Yong Ruo with a slight sense of oppression in her voice.
Feng Liao stood beside her and said, "Concubine Mother, didn't my son report it to you in detail? Why are you still asking her?!"
Concubine Shen snorted again: "Mother Concubine can't ask? You don't have to talk too much, or I'll ask someone to fork you out!"
Feng Liao said angrily: "Mother and concubine, if you want to ask, just ask! My son just heard Yong's voice, and Yong's voice is clear and clear, which is also very pleasant!" After speaking, she looked at Yong Ruo obsessively. .
Concubine Shen was so angry that she touched her chest again, and spat: "Go away and sit down!"
Feng Liao then left Dowager Shen's couch and sat down on the upper armchair.
Yong Ruo didn't even look at Feng Liao, but only wished the concubine the blessing, and said without hesitation: "Return to the concubine: I knew the king of Hengjun on the night of the Lantern Festival..."
Following Feng Liao's prompt, she honestly told the story of that night.
"It's such a cold day, and it's night, you dare to go into the water to fish for money. Your courage is beyond human capabilities." Concubine Shen said inexplicably.
Yong Ruo replied calmly: "At that time, the Yong family had no food for overnight, and my mother was seriously ill but had no money to seek medical treatment. Ingots of silver can save lives from adversity."
Feng Liao let out a long sigh, and stroked her forehead with her hand, feeling guilty and grateful at the same time.
Guilty because he threw the silver into the water, which was not a gentleman's action; fortunate because he and Yong Ruo would never have the fate they have today if it hadn't happened at that time - wouldn't that be a great pity in life? !
Concubine Shen glanced at Feng Liao, and continued to ask Yong Ruo: "You are a daughter, how can you swim?"
"The concubine is the head of the house, and because my younger brothers came late, I was raised as a man for several years. This was taught by my father when I was young. After I had a younger brother, I didn't swim again."
"That's not proper!" Concubine Shen said disapprovingly, and was a little puzzled, "You haven't swam for so many years, do you still remember how to swim? Can you still get money?"
"Hui Taifei, the ability to swim is the same as the ability to use chopsticks. Once you learn it, you will never forget it."
Concubine Shen stopped pestering her about swimming, and changed the subject: "Who was that old lady with 'kind eyebrows and kind eyes' you met that night?"
"When I was selling flowers that night, my concubine met several old ladies with 'kind eyebrows and kind eyes'. I don't know which one the concubine asked? "
"It's the one who rewarded you with money and things, and then came to your house to beg for plum blossoms..." Concubine Shen said slightly mockingly, "Your neighbors all pass it on like this."
Yong Ruoxin said: It seems that Concubine Shen has already sent someone to inquire about the affairs of the Yong family. He said: "Back to the concubine, there is no such an old lady. Those who reward things and silver, and those who ask for plum blossoms are all Hengjun princes."
Concubine Shen sneered, and said: "Your mouth is full of lies, so you can see that you are not honest!"
Yong Ruo gave a little blessing, and said calmly: "Maybe the concubine doesn't know: being poor is easy to be jealous, and jealousy is easy to cause right and wrong. Many right and wrong in Mopan Hutong are caused by the word poverty. The Yong family is in a difficult situation and cannot bear rumors. There are some things that have to be obeyed."
Feng Liao listened beside her, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and she couldn't help interjecting at this moment: "Concubine Mother, you are too demanding to blame! If Mrs. Yong did not say that she was an old lady, but that she was a young man, she still didn't know that. What kind of ugly stories will a person with a dirty mind make up! If she is harassed by rumors, will her son's face be bright? Her neighbors are not very close, and there are many villains among them. Ruo Yong He has no heart at all, and treats everyone honestly, and the illnesses of the women and children in the whole family, and the little ones, have long been calculated by others to the point that there is no bone left!"
"Shut up!" Dowager Shen gave Feng Liao a hard look.
Feng Liao refused to shut up, and said in a very depressing tone: "Mother Concubine, the Yong family is really a very good person! After a long time, you will know! Why are you taking her as a thief now?"
"Are you protecting her like this?" Dowager Shen said bitterly to Feng Liao.
"My son has lived for more than ten years, and he has accepted such a pleasing person to serve by his side. Can't the concubine save some face for my son?" He lowered his eyes and said sadly, "The elder brother and the second elder brother have so many faces. Concubine, madam, beauty, I have never seen you pick any one like this!"
Concubine Ying's expression was slightly gloomy, but she couldn't keep silent any longer, and came up to persuade her: "As the saying goes: Time sees people's hearts. Mother and concubine, why don't you just watch with cold eyes. If there is anything wrong with Yongmei in the future, the concubine will teach you carefully. Not too late!"
Concubine Shen snorted coldly: "I'm too lazy to teach her! Disciplining the concubine's room is the business of the concubine. I will enter the palace tomorrow, and ask the emperor and empress to choose a powerful concubine for this demon king, and see how he can act like a demon!" "
