After breakfast, Gui Zhi and Gui Xun, who were guarding outside the hall, entered the hall to wait on Jiang Zhen to wash up. Xie Fei leaned on the desk and read it with relish, but he didn't feel bored at all, even holding a paintbrush in Gui Zhi. When he was going to add makeup to Jiang Zhen's thrush, he stepped forward to take the brush.
Jiang Zhen looked at his behavior in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "The emperor can thrush eyebrows?"
"Of course." Xie Fei raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and smiled proudly, "There is nothing that I will not know."
"En." Jiang Zhen nodded very solemnly, tilted her head and smiled, "The emperor is the most powerful and capable person in the world, and such a trivial matter as thrush will definitely not be difficult for the emperor."
Xie Fei was very satisfied with Jiang Zhen's flattery, and when she finished speaking, he immediately leaned over, held her small chin in one hand and rubbed it twice, then raised it slightly, holding a brush in the other hand to trace along her faint eyebrows. up.
He lowered his eyes slightly, his thin lips were slightly pursed, his expression was focused and serious, but the movements of his hands became more gentle. Jiang Zhen and the maids who bowed their heads were very curious in their hearts.
After a long time, Xie Fei looked around Jiang Zhen's face twice, and then he put down his paintbrush contentedly and clapped his hands: "It's very beautiful."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhen's heart was full of anticipation, she looked at Xie Fei with a tactful smile, stroked her forehead a little embarrassedly, and said, "Really, then the concubine, you should appreciate the paintings that the emperor himself painted for me. eyebrows."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at the bronze mirror on the table. The mirror reflected a beautiful woman with a peerless appearance, with pink nose and pink lips, and bright phoenix eyes. Everywhere was exquisite and unusual, but the eyebrows were somewhat unsatisfactory.
The eyebrow shape is not bad, but it should be slender and long like a willow, but it has become thick and long like a branch, and the color is also a lot darker, and one left and one right, one dark and one shallow, lowered Jiang Zhen's beauty. .
Jiang Zhen was stunned for a while, then couldn't help turning her head and laughing quietly. The maids on the side also took the opportunity to see it, and they all covered their mouths and laughed, and even whispered while laughing.
Seeing their reaction, Xie Fei didn't know that he was making a joke. He felt a little awkward, so he stared at Peach Blossom, waved his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and asked sharply: "What are you laughing at, Guizhi, tell me Say, am I not good at drawing?"
When the maids heard the words, they immediately knelt to the ground. Gui Zhi raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Zhen's eyebrows again with out of the corner of the eye. For a while, she didn't know how to speak, and said that the painting was good, then her mother-in-law would put on these eyebrows for a whole time. God, being ridiculed by the concubines in the harem, it's not good, looking at the emperor's face, you should be angry with Longyan, right
Just when she was in a dilemma, Jiang Zhen stretched out her hand to pull Xie Fei, and signaled everyone to leave. After only the two of them were left in the room, she smiled and said softly: "I am very concubine. I like the emperor to thrush my eyebrows, but no one in this harem has this honor."
"Do you really like it?" Xie Fei held her little hand and rubbed it carefully, "Aren't you kidding me?"
"Really." Jiang Zhen nodded, but she secretly thought that she was not coaxing, she really liked the emperor's affection for her, as for the eyebrows, it would not be flattering.
When Xie Fei saw the flickering in her eyes, he understood her thoughts, and when he rolled his eyes, Shi Shiran smiled and said, "Since the queen likes it so much, I will paint your eyebrows for you every day."
"Ah?" Jiang Zhen was stunned, blinked, frowned, and said hesitantly, "This, this is not necessary, Your Majesty, you are busy with government affairs, so you should leave such trivial matters to Guizhi and the others to avoid delays. It's time for the emperor..."
Xie Fei made a noncommittal "uh" and said lightly: "It didn't take much effort from me."
Seeing this situation, Jiang Zhen's heart suddenly became anxious, she bit her lower lip nervously and stammered, her brain was running fast to think of a way.
Xie Fei saw her anxious look, a shallow smile crossed his eyes, reached out and scratched her nose, coughed lightly, pursed his lips and smiled: "Look at you, I still have self-knowledge, In the future, it will be regarded as the pleasure of the boudoir, and when I practice well, I will paint your eyebrows and lips for you."
Jiang Zhen glanced at him angrily, smiled embarrassedly, and nodded obediently: "Everything obeys the emperor's will."
"Then this eyebrow... I will wipe it for you, you can paint it again."
Speaking of Xie Fei, she took the silk handkerchief in her hand, Jiang Zhen quickly covered her face with her hands, hesitated for a while and said, "This is the first time the emperor thrushes his concubine's eyebrows, if the concubine really likes it, just keep it. , at most... change it."
Xie Fei slightly hooked his lips, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and lowered his head and placed a kiss on her forehead: "It's all up to you."
…
The two of you are here, but you don't know that the concubines and concubines in the harem are already in a mess. Everyone got a big news from the maids who were sent out - the emperor and the queen suddenly reconciled, and the queen was still staying last night. After leaving the imperial study, I have not returned to Kunning Palace until now!
In Changle Palace, Concubine Gao smashed things angrily, and said furiously: "Shameless fox! I don't know what kind of magic trick was used to coax the emperor to see her! When the palace went to deliver the ginseng soup, the emperor avoided seeing her, why? Why did you just let her in? The emperor is too partial, I really pissed me off!"
On the other side, in the Xilan Hall, where the ban was just lifted, Xihelan had just heard that the queen and the emperor had a falling out. Before she had time to be happy, she heard that they were reconciled again, and even the queen was staying in the imperial study.
That is the imperial study room, a royal place where no one can enter. Even if the emperor summoned his concubines to serve the bed, it would still be in the Ganlu Palace. Even after serving the emperor, the concubines who served the bed would be immediately carried back to their palace by the servants. Yes, and the queen actually stayed in the imperial study, and has not come back yet!
The more she thought about Xihelan's heart, the more uneasy she felt. She found that some things were out of her control, because she hadn't supplied the system for more than a month, and now she couldn't count on it to help, she could only rely on herself.
She originally wanted to hide behind the scenes and make good plans, but in the past month or so, things have changed a lot. First, the emperor inexplicably missed the appointment, then the queen favored the harem, and then she was punished by the queen mother for her suggestions. It was so unusual that she had a faint guess in her heart—since she could possess Xi Helan, was the emperor's anomaly also because he was possessed by someone
Thinking of it this way, everything is reasonable, but the guess made her unable to sit still. After hesitating for a moment, Xi Helan decided to go from behind the scenes to the front, whether it was for her own plan to rule the world or to find out The truth of the matter, she must step out of the Xilan Palace.
Since I decided to go to the front of the screen, I can't hide my clumsiness, and I can't be willing to be ordinary, so I have to prepare myself well, and I must make everyone in the harem amazed, ashamed and envious.
Xi Helan raised his lips and smiled slowly, his brows were smug, and his fair face was full of determination.
…
In the summer afternoon, the windows are wide open and there is no ventilation, and the house is very hot. I heard that the new octagonal pavilion by the lotus pond is cool and comfortable, and the concubines and concubines of the palaces have invited the sisters they have made to go to the lake in twos and threes to cool off.
The concubines and concubines walked all the way to the imperial garden. Through the heavy flower branches, they saw a few palace maids and eunuchs standing around the pavilion from a distance, and the queen, who had not been seen all morning, was standing by the pavilion and feeding fish food.
She was wearing a golden queen's uniform, with a dignified and elegant flying phoenix bun, without too many headgear, only a red gold pearl nine-tailed phoenix hairpin and two emerald green pearl-studded peony slanting hairpins. Wearing a small string of silver tassel fringed beads as long as the ear, it swayed and collided gently between actions, making a sweet and light sound.
Everyone looked at each other, walked up slowly, knelt down and bowed, and said respectfully in unison: "The Queen's maiden is blessed and safe."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhen turned around, handed the fish food to Gui Zhi, wiped her hands with a silk handkerchief and walked to the table to sit down, smiling sweetly: "My sisters are also out to enjoy the cool, come in quickly, it's hot outside. panic."
Everyone praised and got up, and at a glance, they saw the queen's strange eyebrows. Some people were strange, some people were puzzled, and some people snickered while covering their mouths, but no one dared to ask about it directly.
After walking into the pavilion and sitting down one after another, Concubine Hui took a sip of the herbal tea handed over by the little palace maid, and said with a smile, "Yes, this summer feels extraordinarily hot, and I can't wait to put ice cubes in my mouth to cool down."
As soon as she said this, everyone couldn't help but covered their mouths and laughed.
At this moment, Gao Baoxi came over in the sedan chair. Everyone greeted each other. She went straight to the queen and sat down. She frowned and looked at Jiang Zhen's face a few times, and smiled slightly mockingly: "The queen's eyebrows are so unique today. Those who don't know it think that the queen is deliberately playing a clown to make people laugh."
A faint smile appeared on Jiang Zhen's face, and the corners of her slightly curved mouth were filled with indescribable sweetness. She smiled and said, "Really, but Ben Gong thinks the eyebrows are drawn very nicely."
Gao Baoxi was stunned for a moment, then she covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and tilted her head to smile, her charming apricot eyes flashed with uncontrollable pride: "The queen's taste is really getting more and more vulgar."
Jiang Zhen shook her head and smiled, Gao Baoxi couldn't see her pretending to be virtuous and generous, just as she was about to speak, Xie Fei's cold voice came from the steps of the pavilion: "Gao Guifei, how vulgar is this taste, you give it to me Say it nicely."
Everyone was just watching the Queen and Concubine Gao's moves, but they didn't see Xie Fei coming in from the other side of the stairs, until they heard his voice, and everyone got up happily to greet him.
This is the first time the emperor has set foot in the harem in the past ten days, and he was met by himself.
Thinking like this, the faces of everyone showed a look of surprise, secretly glad that they came out to cool off, and they sorted out their appearance without any trace.
When Gao Baoxi looked up at Xie Fei shyly and timidly, Xiangtan quietly tugged off her mother's sleeve and reminded in a low voice, "Madame, the emperor is asking you something."
Gao Baoxi immediately returned to her senses, her heart was overjoyed, she considered how to apply eye drops to Jiang Zhen in front of the emperor, she turned her eyes and was about to speak, but found that Xie Fei didn't even look at her, and sat directly beside Jiang Zhen. , pulled her up and sat down side by side, holding her hand in one hand, holding her chin in the other hand and raising it slightly, after looking carefully for a few breaths, he said with a smile: "The more I look at it, the more I think I draw very well. nice!"
Hearing this, Gao Baoxi's face turned white with a "swoosh". Her lips moved, but she couldn't say a word. Layers of fine sweat broke out on her bright and clean forehead, and cold sweat broke out on her back. She felt like she was in an ice cellar.
The atmosphere was a little condensed for a while, everyone looked at the pale Concubine Gao Guifei with their own thoughts, Jiang Zhen glared at Xie Fei Jiao Fei - your taste is indeed not very good.
Are you saying that you are not good? Xie Fei also replied with his eyes.
Jiang Zhen was stagnant, turned her head and ignored him, only said in her mouth: "Your Majesty, the weather is hot, let's get the younger sisters up first."
Xie Fei laughed lowly, and said in a kind-hearted manner, "Get up."
Everyone thanked them and got up. Gao Baoxi also got up and took the seat. He was glad that what happened just now should be over. Who knew that the next moment, he heard Xie Fei say: "Concubine Gao does not know her superiority and inferiority, and her words are inappropriate. Copy the female ring and the female virtue each twenty times."
Although Gao Baoxi was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to cause trouble again, she just got up and answered "yes" softly and sat down again.
The author has something to say: Xie Fei: The ancients who drew one-word eyebrows and fish lips did not understand its beauty╮(╯▽╰)╭
Jiang Zhen: Hehe :)
Xi Helan: I've been in the modern era, don't lie to me that I don't read much, this TM is clearly Crayon Shin-chan!
