Chapter 22 For Whom Red Makeup
Although both Mengbai and Concubine Li have expressed their hospitality and kindness to Qingge. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but Qingge is reluctant to come to Jixue Courtyard in his heart. For some reason, after listening to the rumors about the legends of these two people in the palace, Qingge had an inexplicable rejection of the concubine. It's just that today, she can't care about so much. It turned out that the concubine's Jixue Courtyard was not far from the Qingming Courtyard, and it was only a tea cup away on foot.
Qingge sat on the circle chair in the reception hall, and watched from a distance as the concubine swayed her soft waist and walked towards her from the courtyard.
"The princess is really a rare guest, what are you doing?" There was always a kind of laziness in the concubine's tone, like a sweet candy in her throat. She casually grabbed a handful of grapes from the silver plate in front of Qingge, carried the grapes, and raised her head to take a few in her mouth.
It looks indecent, but it still has a hint of **. What a weirdo. But he's a weirdo with a real temperament. Removing the camouflage, the atmosphere is surprisingly relaxed.
Qingge said with a smile: "Qingge felt very attached when she saw Niangniang at the lotus banquet that day, so she came to take a look." He poked his head again and said, "Why isn't that white and beautiful little eunuch here?" ”
Concubine Li's coquettish eyes flew, and she said directly: "Are you here to find me, or are you here to find him?" He's my man, and he can't even move your father and queen mother, so don't think about it as soon as possible. ”
"Niangniang is really good at protecting food. If you don't look at it, you can't let me go back empty-handed, right? Qingge laughed.
"You're going to be ingratiating, what do you want?"
"I want Niangniang to help me paint the same ......makeup as you" Qingge carefully observed for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that the style of the concubine originated from her demeanor swaying in the wind like a weak willow and her charming makeup.
Manners can't be learned for a while, but the makeup on the face can change a person's physiognomy and temperament by painting.
"My makeup...... But Mengbai dressed up for me, why don't I send him to your Qingming Courtyard, or I can slowly teach your slave maid. Concubine Li thought for a moment and said.
"Is the concubine willing to do it," Qingge said with a smile, "That's the best." ”
"You don't have to think about anything else."
"I don't think about it, I don't know if the little eunuch will think anything." Qingge covered her mouth and smiled.
The two messed around for a while, and then Qingge left.

"Let me put on her makeup?" Mengbai leaned on the green bamboo rocking chair, holding a book of grievances in his hand,
"I saw that she was acting a little strangely, not dressing up to her liking, and insisting on wearing my heavy makeup. Like ...... What are you planning? ”
"Okay, I'll go investigate." Mengbai smiled. This princess, like a kitten with teeth and claws, seems to be less easy to control.

Qingge was in the room, closed the doors and windows, and drove Shutong and Miaoling out. commanded that no one should enter. took out the sewing box stolen from Grandma Sun, and began to unwrap the pomegranate dress, the skirt and sleeves, little by little along the original stitches, and then sew it loosely.
After fighting for two hours, Qingge carefully put on the processed pomegranate skirt. Look at yourself in the mirror with satisfaction.
"Princess, the dream of the concubine is here." Dredging Tong reported outside the door.
"Please."
"Mengbai has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess. Concubine Li asked Mengbai to dress up for the princess. "Mengbai is dressed in white, her posture is like a fairy, and her voice is as soft as a pool of spring water to stir people's hearts. Shu Tong and Miao Ling on the side also blushed when they saw it.
"Well, that's a lot of work." Qingge looked at this soft and pinchable dream white.
Mengbai's eyes inadvertently skimmed her delicate bright red dress, her eyes shrunk, and she said, "What kind of dress does the princess want?" ”
"Sultry and charming."
Mengbai didn't answer, and looked at her quietly. The last time I saw her, she was crying in his arms for the sake of repression. I heard that I got sick again. In just a few days, she was already in good spirits, and there was no haze that she could leave behind. He looked deeply into her clear eyes, as if to uncover her disguise and see her true emotions.
Qingge greeted his inquiring gaze generously, not dodging, not concealing.
The two were silent for a while, neither spoke, and their eyes met calmly.
"The princess was originally captivating the country and the city, and fascinated all beings." Mengbai spoke slowly.
Miao Ling seemed to understand that there was something unusual about the two of them, and dragged Shutong. And Shu Tong said as usual: "The slave and maid will retire first." ”
Qingge nodded calmly. Only two people were left in the house.
Silent for a while. Just as Qingge will not ask Mengbai's origin, Mengbai will not ask who Qingge is dressed up for. The two are thousands of miles apart, but they maintain the same tacit understanding.
Warm fingertips roamed over her face.
"Close your eyes." Mengbai's face was not far from her forehead, and the warm breath from her mouth sprinkled right on the tip of her nose. It is as light as an orchid.
The soft brush gently outlined above her eyelids, and Qingge only felt itchy to her heart.
"Open your eyes."
Mengbai squatted slightly, looked at her at eye level, and looked at her eye makeup carefully, less flattering and more focused. Qingge also observed him carefully, his eyes were not deliberately blurred, and the corners of his lips were slightly curled, but they were even more fascinating.
The rough eyebrow pencil is brushed on the brow bone.
"Do you usually do the same makeup for your concubine?" She couldn't help but ask out loud in her mind. Why did she care so much, she felt that she must be crazy.
"Don't talk." He pressed his soft fingertips against her delicate lips. This posture...... Too intimate too. Qingge's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. The lips are really sealed.
For a moment, he removed his fingers, but the warm touch remained hot between his lips.
"You did it on purpose." Qingge said with a red face.
"What?"
"You're deliberately seducing me. From the beginning of your acquaintance with me, you've been seducing me from time to time, right? Although the flush on his face had not faded, Qingge's reason was very calm.
"You think that because you've forgotten what you used to be."
Qingge frowned, "I forgot about it." But I don't like it now. "And he spoke of the past.
"Seriously...... Dislike? Mengbai showed his previous charm again.
Qingge avoided his beautiful snake-like eyes and looked at himself in the mirror. He opened his mouth, surprised. The person in the mirror was so unfamiliar, the corners of his eyes flew slightly, even if his face was expressionless, it was like a silent invitation with a smile in his eyes. The delicate red lips are like ripe cherries in the middle of summer, exuding a fresh vitality, and people can't help but want to pick them to their heart's content.
With a few strokes, the light song is like a different person. A smile curled up at the corners of his mouth. She squinted, learning from the slightly hoarse but extremely sweet voice of the concubine, and exhaled at Mengbai: "Look at me...... Is it beautiful? ”
Approaching Mengbai's face little by little, "You say, am I beautiful now?" Or is it more beautiful than it was? ”
Mengbai's eyes froze for a moment, and Lang Lang spoke: "Mengbai prefers the princess's original appearance." ”
Qingge instantly restrained her charm, lowered her eyes, and said lightly: "It's a pity, you like to be useless." ”
Mengbai was not angry, and smiled, "No matter who the princess is dressed up for, Mengbai just reminded the princess not to embarrass herself and put herself in a miserable situation." ”
"Thanks for the reminder, but don't worry about it. With this idle time, let's cover up the matter between you and your concubine first. Qingge said sourly.
"I'm fine with my concubine."
"It's a shame that I reminded you at the lotus banquet that day......" Qingge didn't know what he was angry about, and felt a little irritated inexplicably.
Mengbai chuckled, "Then Mengbai has to thank the princess." He wouldn't tell her that he had learned that she was going to the lotus feast. Waiting for them at the center of the pool early.
"This makeup is very satisfying, two days later, please come over again, and help this palace dress up again."
Mengbai nodded yes.
