With one hand behind his back, the Ninth Prince stepped around the screen and walked in. At a glance, he saw the woman sitting in front of the dressing table. She had obviously been up for an hour, but she was still sitting swaying.
Like sleepwalking, it is helpless.
"Ready?" Ninth Prince asked.
Suddenly a cold voice came, Xiao Ting immediately widened her eyes, woke up, and saw herself in the bronze mirror at a glance, "Oh my god, what the hell is this?"
Shocked by the makeup in the mirror, Xiao Ting backed away, but she didn't notice for a moment, stepped on the corner of her skirt, and sat down on the soft stool, but her center of gravity was still backward, and she fell off the soft stool to the ground again.
It also rolled a few times, and rolled directly to the feet of the Ninth Prince.
This twists and turns is amazing.
Everyone in the room was startled by her exclamation, and when they came back to their senses, they were in a hurry to go to help her.
Xiao Ting also struggled to stand up, but when she looked up, she saw these feet in front of her.
After confirming the owner of this foot, Xiao Ting wanted to die.
"Well, my lord, how are you!"
After Xiao Ting finished speaking, she wished she could slap her in the face, how could she say such a thing.
Before she could think of any words to bypass this paragraph, Hong Shao and others rushed to her and helped her up.
It was precisely because of the confusion just now that after two hours of makeup, it turned into a mess of paste, and the combed hair was straight up and down in a mess.
Hong Shao and Lu Hua were sweating profusely, wishing to go back in time and space, just now they pressed their princess on the stool to prevent her from getting up.
It won't be like this right now.
"What can I do, I'm about to enter the palace, and the time is running out!" Hong Shao muttered directly, with red eyes, she was about to cry out of anger.
Lu Hua's face was not good-looking, but she didn't say anything, her slender hands moved quickly on Xiao Ting's head.
Seeing this, the Ninth Prince frowned slightly, and his picturesque face was also stained with displeasure.
Looking at the two servant girls who were in a hurry, he ordered, "Just be free, it's okay."
Both girls wanted to die.
Their family's concubine is now single and weak, and originally wanted to establish the majesty of the Ninth Concubine at this banquet, but now she has been made into this state, and she is dressed in plain clothes, what chance will there be in the future
The imperial concubine once said that the princess must be allowed to gain a foothold in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, but right now, the Ninth Prince has not been very interested in her princess.
Although Xiaoshizi has changed, he still doesn't regard her as a hostess. Even with the company of Xiaogongzi, it hasn't changed much.
This time, the chance she finally got was ruined by her concubine, and the two girls were almost pissed off.
But Miss Xiao Liu, who was the object of concern, was not angry at all, and agreed with the Ninth Prince's statement, clapped her hands and said, "Yes, yes, the simpler the better."
Then he sat in front of the dressing table by himself and pulled out all the heavy hairpins on his head, and his black hair like a waterfall fell down instantly, shining with flowing brilliance in the dim light.
The Ninth Prince stood behind her and looked at the girl in the mirror. It seemed that he hadn't looked at her carefully for half a year. Her hair had grown to her waist, and her small face had grown wide. Her eyes moved slightly, and there was an elf energy overflowing.
Seemingly innocent and innocent, in fact, what she said can reach people's hearts, making people feel ashamed, as if she can see through everything in the world, but she doesn't understand the world.
This kind of contradiction and illusion made him unconsciously want to get close to her and understand what kind of woman she is.
What makes Nine Princes even more puzzled is what kind of environment such a woman lives in. Although the people in the Xiao Manor dote on her and Concubine Xiao Gui protects her, the former Xiao Ting, judging from the news of the secret investigation, seems to be just playing tricks.
When I really met those high-ranking officials, I was very good at avoiding evil and avoiding misfortune, and never took the initiative to provoke the members of the royal family.
Of course, it may also be that there are too few royal family members in the imperial capital.
But now she is even more unexpected.
Facing the members of the royal family, it's okay for her to have no fear, but she doesn't even have the most basic sense of awe.
Not to mention humility.
Just like to him, in the eyes of others, he is the aloof Ninth Prince, but in Xiao Ting's eyes, he is just a partner to live with, and a rich and powerful person who can protect her.
That's all.
What she said so bluntly at the beginning made him relax his vigilance a little.
During the six months they were together, he and Xiao Ting spent very little time alone, or almost none, but at some point, without knowing it, his eyes and thoughts often fell on this woman.
It is obviously inconspicuous, but it is very attractive to his mind.
Elegant and luxurious, wearing gold and silver can show the momentum and majesty more, just like a pearl stained with dust, the dust must be removed in order to bloom its brilliance.
At this moment, Xiao Ting took off her gorgeous coat and cumbersome decorations.
Her unpainted face was incomparably delicate, her beautiful eyes shone with light, like stars in the dark night, twinkling and twinkling, very alluring, but the clarity of her eyes made one feel that pure aura.
It's so real, so alive.
Xiao Ting found that the Ninth Prince was looking at her in the mirror, her heart beat half a beat faster for no reason, and she couldn't stop it.
Xiao Ting smiled awkwardly at the Ninth Prince in the mirror, but the other party did not respond, Xiao Ting withdrew her smile with a stiff face, and stopped looking at him.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Ting finished packing, stood with the Ninth Prince, and walked out.
On the steps, Steward Mu watched them leave with a smile on his eyes and brows, and gave Red Spoon and Green Weed a thumbs up.
Although Xiao Ting didn't know what the maids were thinking, she only discovered it when she was wearing this azure dress and standing behind the gate of the palace with the Ninth Prince, attracting countless strange eyes.
"Hey, we're wearing couple outfits."
At this moment, Xiao Ting's clothes are azure, and even her headband is azure, which complements the clothes of the Ninth Prince, which is indeed very eye-catching.
At this time, more and more people got off the carriage, and many officials came down from the carriage and sedan chair one after another, all bringing young and beautiful women.
Obviously it was all for the imperial edict of the empress dowager.
The matter of choosing a concubine for the third prince will have a result this time.
After the girls walked down, they began a human flesh search to see if there were any strong enemies, so that they could make countermeasures in advance.
But just after taking a look, I saw Xiao Ting standing beside the Ninth Prince arrogantly, with a look of worship and admiration on his face, and the Ninth Prince also looked down at her slightly.
Eyebrows!
All of a sudden, a lot of eye knives flew towards Xiao Ting directly, cutting the unresponsive mental line of Miss Xiao Liu.
When Xiao Ting came to her senses, she found that many people were looking at her. She remembered what Lvhuo taught her, and immediately stood up straight, holding her hands in front of her, and was about to recite those words that Lvhuo taught her.
But I didn't expect that I couldn't recite a word just after I said it.
He's meowing, it's too convoluted, okay
"What are you looking at, have you never seen a beautiful woman or a handsome man?" Xiao Ting put on an extremely arrogant look, and let go of her clasped palms.
With his right hand on his waist, his left foot kept shaking in place, looking like a second-rate ruffian.
If there is another cigarette in the mouth, it will be completely shameless.
Everyone avoided her gaze, not because they were afraid of her, but because they disdain to speak to her, for fear of being teased back and losing face.
That would not be worth the candle.
After all, no matter how arrogant Xiao Ting is, she is still the Ninth Princess now, so she cannot become their competitor or enemy.
Xiao Ting made a fuss, and was about to leave with the Ninth Prince when she saw Yun Lanzhi, the third girl from An Guogong's mansion.
She was a little displeased, this woman is so beautifully dressed, who is she trying to seduce
Looking at her 'lovely' eyes, looking at the Ninth Prince, Xiao Ting was not happy.
Immediately turned around to look at the Ninth Prince, and asked: "My lord, are you going to choose the side concubine too?"
The Ninth Prince froze for a moment, "What nonsense, come up." After saying that, the Ninth Prince got into the carriage and stretched out a hand to Xiao Ting.
He decided to bring Xiao Ting directly into the palace instead of putting her in the crowd.
Otherwise, either she provokes others, or others provoke her, in short, something will happen and there will be no peace.
According to Xiao Ting's words, she temporarily forgot about these people, and followed the Ninth Prince into the carriage again, with a triumphant expression on her face.
When passing by Yun Lanzhi, she purposely said in a sour voice, "It's such a hot day, fortunately, my concubine won't participate in any beauty pageant, let alone take this part of the road, otherwise she will be directly sunburned into a black crow, so what chance is there for being selected!"
Naturally, Yun Lanzhi could hear it clearly, Yun Lanzhi's expression immediately darkened, but before she could say anything, the special carriage was released and drove all the way to the palace.
Xiao Ting did not go to see Concubine Xiao this time, but was sent directly to Princess Zhaohua's palace by the Ninth Prince.
"Ting'er, you are here, help me to see, which hairpin should I wear?"
Zhao Hua happily jumped out of the house, Xiao Ting quickly covered Zhao Hua's head with her hands from the scorching sun.
"It's such a big sun, what do you do when you run out, you won't be able to get married when you get tanned, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Xiao Ting scolded her while protecting her to go to the inner hall.
"Yes, yes, but this princess is naturally beautiful and is not afraid of the sun." Zhaohua went crazy when he saw Xiao Ting.
"Besides, this princess is going to marry, and the people in the world who want to marry me will go to Yanbei, but it's a pity that this princess has her own heart..."
Xiao Ting didn't continue to question, the two came to the inner hall, and they casually placed themselves on the soft couch, facing each other, but they didn't dare to go too far, for fear of messing up their hair.
"You entered the palace with Uncle Jiu Wang?"
"That's right, if he hadn't forced me, my concubine would not have entered the palace!" Xiao Ting hummed, a little helpless, she really didn't like the palace.
Zhaohua heard the words, turned over and lay there, and continued to ask: "Is Mr. Yuchi coming with you?"
"Who?" Xiao Ting heard that this young man was still a little messy at first, and then realized, "You said Yuchi was upset with that bastard."
Zhaohua turned into a curious baby, blinking and asked her, "Did he offend you again?"
"Hmph, he really wanted to offend, but it's a pity that my concubine hasn't been out of the Lanyue Courtyard for several months. Where can I offend him, but when I see him again, I must settle the score with him."
"It seems that he didn't come back!" Zhaohua was a little disappointed after hearing this.
Xiao Ting sensed this meaning sensitively, and asked, "You, are you familiar with him?"
