He piled up the mercury mirrors on the dressing table, and pulled up the blue silk of the Crown Princess. The female official of the East Palace, Zou Qingyun, reached out and fiddled with the dressing box a few times, and three plain white fingers picked up a hairpin. He gestured on the cloud-like bun.
"Change one."
The Crown Princess shook her head: "This one is also a bit more vulgar."
"Miss."
Zou Qingyun lowered his body, squeezed half of his face into the mirror, and giggled, "It's okay in the past, but today you look so good, no matter how gorgeous your hairpin can be suppressed!"
I saw the two faces in the mirror, although they were both fair and delicate, but even if they didn't distinguish carefully, the Crown Princess was clearly superior.
She was originally born extremely upright, and her frown and smile showed grace and grandeur, but it also covered the charm that a young woman should have.
But today's face reflected in the mirror has flushed cheeks without applying any makeup powder, and emotionless expression without thrushing eyebrows and eyes, and is unreasonably lazy and naive.
This kind of affectionate and charming, and the original grace and bearing, should be the same as water and fire, but the scene reflected in the mirror at this time can not help but remind people of Liu Yuxi's "Peony Appreciation":
In front of the court, the peony demon is unqualified, and the chishang Fu Jing is less affectionate.
Only the true national color of peony can move the capital when the flowers bloom.
Hearing Zou Qingyun's admiration, the Crown Princess's eyes that looked like water cut, seemed to deflect to the bed intentionally or unintentionally, and she didn't know what to think, and her cheeks flushed even more.
But in an instant, a trace of loneliness appeared on her face again, and she stretched out her hand to push the hairpin of the golden bead, jade, and phoenix away, and said indifferently, "Let's replace it with the usual ones."
After a pause, he couldn't help but add: "Left and right are not for anyone to see."
With just this sentence, even Zou Qingyun became disappointed, and silently changed a plain face, and decorated the blue silk like clouds.
The crown princess put a little powder on the mirror again to cover the extra blushing, and looked right and left. She was about to go out to eat with Zou Qingyun, but she was halfway up and suddenly froze again.
His eyes swept to the head of the bed again, and the Crown Princess suddenly ordered: "This palace wants to be quiet, you go out first."
Although Zou Qingyun was a little strange, he still obediently exited the bedroom and closed the door again.
The crown princess sat in front of the dressing table for a while, then quietly locked the door, and walked quickly to the golden silk nanmu step bed.
When she saw her groping under the mattress, she had a black and purple base, hollow lace, and fine jade pieces on her hands.
As if stabbed by the luster on the jade piece, the Crown Princess turned her gaze subconsciously, her eyes full of shame.
Yesterday, I heard that Sun Shaozong was going to go to the door to deliver Xu Gelao's gift, and the Crown Princess also tossed and turned a lot.
At first, I naturally thought about the general trend of the imperial court, but in the middle of the night, when people were quiet and lonely, for some reason, the loneliness that had accumulated for a long time came to my mind again.
In the end, in a daze, he dug out this long-lost thing from the bottom of the box, and was frightened, excited, repressed, and wanton venting for a while.
If it weren't for this, she wouldn't wake up an hour later than usual, and she wouldn't show such a lazy and charming state.
It was also because she got up late that she didn't have time to put the object back in its original place, so she had to hide it under the mattress for a while—fortunately, in the early winter, the mattress was already very thick, so she wasn't afraid of revealing clues.
But the Crown Princess felt uneasy in her heart, so she screened Zou Qingyun back, so as to take the opportunity to suppress the 'inner demon' again at the bottom of the cabinet.
It's just that she managed to empty the cabinet, and when she wanted to put the object at the bottom of the box, there was an inexplicable sense of dampness from her fingertips.
The Crown Princess's hands were stagnant for a while, and then her cheeks were flushed red like blood, and even the powder she had applied was difficult to cover.
He was so embarrassed for a long time.
The Crown Princess finally came to her senses, sighed helplessly, took out a small silver-backed scissors from the dustpan containing the needle and thread, and pointed at the object.
This shameful thing, even if it can be quietly washed, how dare you take it out to dry
I can't say that I have to cut it into pieces together with the delusions in my heart, and then put it on fire, so as not to have any thoughts that I shouldn't have in the future.
It can be said that, the scissors gestured to and fro, but it was difficult to fall.
knock knock knock
Suddenly, there were a few soft noises from outside the door, and the bluffing Crown Princess almost cut Hao's wrist.
Before she could think about it, she hurriedly shoved the object into the bottom of the cabinet, and filled it up indiscriminately.
"What's up?!"
Although he took a few deep breaths, how could the throbbing in his heart be easily calmed down
The response to this opening was actually dull and low, trembling.
Fortunately, through the screen and the door, Zou Qingyun didn't really hear it outside, and only respectfully reported: "Mother, Princess Beijing is here, and she is now waiting in the flower hall."
Wei Ying is here
The Crown Princess thought for a while, and then guessed that she was most likely ordered by her husband to come to inquire about the gift given by Elder Xu Ge.
Because this matter is related to the family of the King of Beijing - especially the attitude of Zhao Rongheng, the censor of the Youdu, it is not good to see it.
Therefore, the Crown Princess tried her best to calm her mind, and rushed to the flower hall accompanied by a group of court ladies.
Contrary to the concubine's irresistible coquettishness, Wei Ying, the princess of Beijing, seems to have lost a lot of weight recently, and her speech is not as neat as in the past, but rather weak.
Although there was some unpleasantness at the beginning, Wei Ying, as the link of the relationship between the two families, has often visited the door in the past two years. The relationship between the two sisters has not only recovered, but has even become closer.
Therefore, seeing her like this, the Crown Princess couldn't help but said with concern: "But elder sister is ill? Have you seen the imperial doctor?"
"It's not that I'm sick, it's just... I just haven't had any appetite recently."
This evasive statement naturally made the Crown Princess even more puzzled. She was waiting for a few half-truths of anger, so she was forced to tell the truth.
Wei Ying changed the topic first, "I heard that Mr. Xu Ge came to Beijing this time and brought a gift to His Royal Highness. I don't know if it's true?"
Listening to her asking about the real thing, the Crown Princess was not good at scrutinizing the trivialities, and she said solemnly: "I just heard about this, as for whether it is true or false..."
She turned her head and asked Zou Qingyun, "Go ahead and ask to see if Master Sun has come to the door."
"Return to the lady."
Zou Qingyun hurriedly bowed and said, "Just now, this servant has received the news. Lord Sun has indeed come to the door with a gift. Now he is discussing matters with His Highness in the front hall."
Hearing that Sun Shaozong had already come to the door, the Crown Princess thought about all kinds of things that happened in the half-dream and half-awake last night, and her face became a little hot. Fortunately, she had put some powder on before going out, so as not to reveal her fault.
She forced herself to restrain her thoughts, and turned back to continue the topic just now, but suddenly saw Wei Ying's face as white as rice paper, with no trace of blood at all, and suddenly said in shock: "Sister, this is..."
"Ouch~!"
Before she could finish speaking, Wei Ying covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and retched for a while.
But she said that she came here this time because she was instructed to inquire about the relationship between Xu Gelao and the prince. How could she have thought that she would meet the demon star in her life again
At this moment, I suddenly heard the three words of Lord Sun, and the scene of that day immediately resurfaced in my mind, and I felt that there was some filth stuck between my lips and teeth, causing my stomach to overturn.
Although she didn't spit out anything, the painful appearance still made the Crown Princess worried, and quickly ordered: "Quickly get some almond dew that I often use, and help Sister Wei press it!"
Never thought that when the almond dew was served, Wei Ying vomited even more as if she saw a snake and scorpion.
After the chickens and dogs jumped for a while, Wei Ying finally stopped the retching, and explained with a forced smile: "Don't blame me, I... I've been a little intolerant of my stomach recently, always... always retching like this, but... Can't spit out anything."
Hearing what she said, the Crown Princess suddenly had a strange look on her face, her eyes slowly lowered, staring at Wei Ying's flat belly, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that my sister... is pregnant?"
"impossible!"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Ying seemed to have been stabbed in the heart by someone, jumped up angrily, and categorically denied: "It's impossible!"
The Crown Princess was taken aback by her fierce reaction, and she felt a little inexplicable. King Beijing had no children under his knees. If Wei Ying could become pregnant, it would be a big happy event, but how could she...
Wei Ying also felt that she was overreacting at this time, so she sat back and smiled bitterly: "Don't blame me, Niangniang, I just... just now..."
For a while, where did she come up with a suitable reason
This hesitant to speak, on the contrary, it seems more and more strange.
Fortunately, at this time, a palace maid rushed in and resolved the embarrassing situation for her - but what the palace maid reported made Wei Ying at a loss.
"Niangniang! His Royal Highness and Lord Sun have already arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and they seem to be having a feast here!"
This villain!
But how can he get away from him? !
