Chapter 72
I simply poured a layer of powder on my face, and then I carefully traced my eyebrows with charcoal, and used a bright lipstick that I hadn't moved for a long time. (Baidu search 4G Chinese network is updated faster) The green onion white finger dug a piece of lipstick and wiped it on the porcelain lid, and then poured some of the gray-white ash that had just been burned on the top, stirred it together, and then wiped it on his lips with his little finger.
The emperor once praised her lips as peachy, mixed with gray bright lipstick, a little white, but there are some special beauty.
This medicine is poison, but it does not poison people, and it can even benefit the spleen and lungs when eaten alone. But if you enter it with ambergris, your heart will beat faster and you won't be able to sleep at night.
He had only heard this recipe mention it before, but the person disappeared after he was sent out of the palace, and Concubine Yuan didn't expect to see it again.
She will not let the emperor die, she will let the emperor watch with him, the day when their emperor ascends to the throne.
Concubine Yuan looked at herself in the mirror, smiled, and raised her voice: "Someone." β
Simply wore a thin round-necked shirt with gold thread strokes, covered with an emerald green skirt that mopped the floor, and sat at the table to let the close-fitting maid Yuchai comb her hair.
Yuchai is used to doing these things, and his hands are very dexterous, and it didn't take long to pull a flying cloud bun. Pulling open the box containing the pearl hairpin, the jade hairpin asked, "Master, is it good to use the blue jade hairpin today?" It goes well with your dress. β
Concubine Yuan smiled with a bit of sarcasm: "In order to avoid the queen's edge, I even chose blue for my clothes, and if even my hair was green, it would be too much to make a face for her." β
casually pulled it in the box, and then picked out a golden hairpin, peacock-like, with dozens of fine gems inlaid with tail feathers.
If the jade hairpin remembers well, this hairpin is a tribute, which was specially left by the emperor for Concubine Yuan, saying that it is bright and beautiful and matches her. But her own mother has been "sick" recently, and she doesn't even serve the emperor, so I'm afraid that such a swagger will be true.
But Concubine Yuan didn't care at all, picked up the hairpin and inserted it into her hair.
The bright and bright hairpin lined her more and more gorgeous appearance, Concubine Yuan lowered her eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth were lightly raised.
Yuchai is the emperor's person, and she has known it for a long time. So she put the jade hairpin by her side and let her look at herself all the time, that is, she put the emperor's eyes on herself. She is not angry with the queen in order to make the emperor feel at ease, and she has affection for the emperor in order to make the emperor pity.
She has been playing this method for more than ten years, and now this mask seems to grow on her face, and she can't even pick off the skin and flesh.
"The master is so good-looking, this hairpin is really the most flattering to the master, the emperor treats the master so well."
Yuchai's words made Concubine Yuan's smile quicker and faster, but it was to hide a cold light in her eyes.
Maybe there was love, but now it has disappeared, and only by love, Concubine Yuan has long been eaten and there are no bones left.
The man said that it was to protect her and make her sick, but he set the rule of going to ask for peace on the fifteenth day of the new year. You must know that according to the rules on the fifteenth day of the first day of every month, the emperor must stay at the queen's place.
The emperor is warning her, suppressing her, and letting her understand what is respected and what is great.
So Concubine Yuan endured it, for the sake of herself and the emperor, Concubine Yuan didn't mind flattering the queen, and was willing to show weakness to the emperor in this way. The more humble she is, the more the emperor will pity her, and thinking about her goodness, he will not really deal with the emperor.
She has been sick for a long time, for the sake of the emperor, she has been calling herself sick, giving the emperor away, but letting those messy women pounce on one by one.
Now that the emperor has been stabilized, she naturally wants to recover and go out again.
Queen, you may have forgotten that "Concubine Yuan" is equivalent to "spoiling the harem", who was the sole pet of the pepper room for eleven years. No matter how many beauties you pull, you can't keep the emperor by your side after all, even if he pampers the daughters of those small families, he doesn't want to touch you.
At the beginning, I could pretend to be sick and angry and push the emperor out, but now, I can pull him back, and no one can snatch him away from now on.
Concubine Yuan picked up the charcoal pen again and gently traced her willow eyebrows, again and again.
Pampered, Concubine Yuan knew that she only occupied the former, and the emperor's heart had long been given to someone who didn't know who it was.
However, this is enough.
After all, she accounted for the same. And the other women in this harem can't even take advantage of the favor.
"Yuchai, go with this palace." Concubine Yuan stood up, the bright sun shining on her face, radiant. She looked back at the jade hairpin and smiled, her peach-blossom-like eyes seemed to be shining, "Bring money to the palace, this time the palace is going to rob people." β
Yuchai looked up at her, and Concubine Yuan, who no longer concealed her edge, bent her lips and raised her eyebrows, all of which were charming and charming. She hung her head and followed behind Concubine Yuan, her expression softened.
The emperor gave her instructions, in addition to taking good care of the mother, that is, to let the mother dissipate her anger and not annoy the emperor anymore. Now it seems that the mother is competing for favor again, which is a good thing, and the emperor likes it too.
And how could you not like it? Such a woman, gentle as the moon, bright as a peony, and what man would not love.
===================================================================================
This year's summer seems to be extraordinarily long, which makes the officials who read the papers complain about their teaching.
There are a lot more papers in the township exam than in previous years, but they must be read in a few days. Governor Dong is a happy and enjoyable person, if he is just in charge of the overall situation, he will definitely move the time of reading the papers to the early morning and evening, and pass the hottest time in the middle, and he will feel better than the people below.
But this time it was not him who was in charge, but Meng Shikun from the capital. Master Meng doesn't care if you're hot or not, anyway, he's not hot, so he doesn't pay so much attention.
Meng Shikun sat in front of the case, holding the scroll handed over by the teaching, and drawing circles or crosses one by one with the red pen in his hand. He is in his thirties, which is considered the youngest in the Hanlin Academy, but because he always looks gentle and smiling, he looks much younger.
I have to say that the level of students in Guizhou Mansion is higher than that of other places, and these papers make him have no way to choose. But the smile on Meng Shikun's face is getting stronger and stronger, he likes talented people, although being the examiner has more talented people will make him more worried and don't know how to judge, but as their teacher, Meng Shikun is very happy.
Among so many people, there will be fifty of them, and these talents will be his protΓ©gΓ©s. The bachelors of the Hanlin Academy have to go outside to be examiners for this reason.
The literati love to huddle, and the warriors love to fight, since ancient times. Hanlin Academy is a Qingshui Yamen, and there is no money to give gifts, but the way the scholars pull favors is more high-end than others. Find a random official, talk to him, and you can make friends.
"Are you Ding Weinian's Jinshi? Coincidentally, the examiner that year happened to be my mentor, and we were still in the same class. β
"You and I are both in the first year, but we are not talented brothers, and we have won the first name."
"Fellow robes, fellow robes."
There are a lot of people in the world, but the examiner is just that, pulling and pulling will always have something to do with it, and it is easy to do things if there is a relationship, which makes the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy can live comfortably and write every day.
The errand to Guizhou was recommended by Liu Shiren and Lord Liu, and Meng Shikun was one of the few neutrals in the Hanlin Academy. Meng Shikun knew that Liu Shiren was wooing him, but Liu Shiren had always stood on the emperor's side, and there was nothing wrong with being wooed by him, so Meng Shikun accepted this kindness.
Even if he didn't accept it, there was no way, the emperor's holy decree was in his hands, and he had no other way than to find a reason for himself to explain one or two.
However, the result of this time made Meng Shikun very satisfied. After a busy day, he finally finished judging all the papers, and Meng Shikun smiled very happily with the top ten papers.
"Lord Dong's rule is very great, and it is rare." Meng Shikun looked at Dong Zhifu sitting next to him and smiled.
Dong Zhifu hurriedly said: "Don't dare to take credit, this is also the education of a saint." β
Meng Shikun smiled, no longer spoke, but laid out the ten volumes one by one: "This is an article with its own merits, and I also ask Governor Dong and this official to choose one or two together." β
Governor Dong knew that this was a necessary procedure, firstly, because it seemed that the examiner was not authoritarian, and secondly, it was also for the sake of having someone to accompany him to be punished if something went wrong in the future. Dong Zhifu is old, and he has to squint his eyes to see things more clearly. The papers of the township examination have been copied by people, and the original handwriting cannot be seen.
Flipping through them one by one, Governor Dong took a look at Meng Shikun's expression. Although Meng Shikun is also a learned official, after all, he has been dealing with books all year round, and his management of facial expressions is naturally not as skilled as that of an official like Dong Zhifu. Governor Dong stayed on each volume for about the same time, but Meng Shikun's expression was different.
Sometimes relieved, sometimes confused, sometimes frowned.
Dong Zhifu had a score in his heart, so he directly took out three copies: "These three have their own merits, one is rough and bold, and quite imposing; A gorgeous and delicate word, which makes people have endless evocative; Although a language is unpretentious, it has a sense of returning to the basics. Xia Guan seems to be the most brilliant of the ten volumes, but it is really difficult to distinguish which is higher and which is lower, and he also asks Lord Meng to decide. β
Meng Shikun had a smile on his face, obviously the one that Dong Zhifu picked out was also what he liked. After taking the three volumes, Meng Shikun picked up the red pen again, and there was no fine batch at all, so he directly drew a red circle on one of them.
"This is the first, and the rest of the nouns are also invited to call Master Dong to discuss with Xuezheng."
Dong Zhifu lowered his head and didn't look at which one it was, although he would know it later, but he had to look through it with Xuezheng after the main examination circle, which was also to avoid suspicion.
But in the end, he couldn't hold back his curiosity, and when he went out with the scroll, Dong Zhifu pretended to shake the scroll unintentionally, and saw the result.
raised his eyebrows slightly, quite surprised, but Governor Dong kept looking for Xuezheng at his feet.
