Chapter Seventy-One: Makeup
On the morning of the third day of the new year, I will go to the palace to congratulate him, and I can receive the banquet after the salute. Therefore, Jinyi went to bed early the night before.
Ever since she learned that Qin Zhili was wearing a thunder vine bead on her wrist, she had been a little uneasy in the past few days. In addition, the palace banquet also made her troubled and panicked, and she couldn't sleep well at night, and her dreams were disturbed.
β¦β¦ In a tall, cold room, it was bitterly cold, and from time to time there was the clatter sound of water droplets falling on the ground, falling back into the empty darkness, and the low sound brought a chill.
At the end of the darkness, thick iron bars could be faintly seen, flickering with cold and gloomy light, and the chains hung in the air and swayed gently, and the sound of impact was shrill and piercing......
From time to time, there were murmurs all around, as if talking to themselves, and as if they were talking," ...... Calamity...... Execute...... Fate......"
β¦β¦ Jin Yi woke up suddenly, sat up in the dark, thought for a while, and sighed, full of pity.
Tonight it was Qian Mo who slept outside, and the person who practiced martial arts slept very lightly, hearing Jin Yi's sigh, he got up and came in quietly, and when he touched the bed, he saw her sitting, but he was frightened.
Lighting the candle next to the bed, Qian Mo quietly asked her, "Miss...... Why can't you sleep? β
Jin Yi raised her head buried in her knees and didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.
Qian Mo rarely saw her at night, and under the dim candlelight, Jin Yi's eyes were purple and shining, which was a little scary at first glance. She thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Miss, the slave maid once spent a year learning the art of makeup with a grandmother......"
These words were a little headless and endless, Jin Yi looked at her lightly, and did not answer, waiting for her to continue.
"At that time, I didn't understand that I had been raised in the way of a noble maid in a family, and I had already learned to comb my hair and make up, but Yishantang still hired that grandmother with a lot of money, and it was not an ordinary makeup technique, but it was a bit like disguise, but it didn't use a drug mask or the like...... The church specially found some slaves sold from the Western Regions for me to practice......"
Jin Yi frowned, thought for a moment, understood a little, and asked her, "Xiaolou let you learn?" β
Qian Mo nodded, "It's the order of the prince." β
Jin Yi's eyes were a little warm, although he always said that he didn't need his help, but in fact, since he came back, he only gently teased in front of Zhenguo Gong, and woke up the beautiful dream of Xu and Jinxiu, and indirectly relieved himself.
He quietly swept away obstacles along the way for himself, but what did he give him in return?
Jin Yi's heart ached......
After a long time, Jin Yi said softly: "You go to sleep." After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Wake up Qiaowei and let her come over." β
Qian Mo nodded and walked out quietly.
Jin Yi looked behind her, her steps were light and swift, and her skills should be excellent.
After a while, Qiao Wei came in, still dazed, rubbing her eyes and asking, "Miss, why haven't you slept yet?" Tomorrow I want to be ...... without energy"
Jin Yi motioned for her to come to the couch, took her hand, looked at her for a while, leaned into her ear, and said in a very low voice, "Qiaowei, you promised to avenge her...... If I sue you, her father is poisoned...... Do you want to save? β
Qiao Wei's expression changed immediately, and she was all frightened to wake up, she looked at Jin Yi fixedly, Jin Yi's face was still calm, but she nodded affirmatively, looking at her with an inquiring look.
Qiao Wei had a struggling expression on her face, and her heart was chaotic and had no idea, so she asked her in a snort, "That'...... If you don't save it, you will die? β
Jin Yi shook her head lightly and told her about the Buddha beads that Qin Zhili was wearing, "It's still early." That's Lei Teng, the toxicity is very slow, I look at his complexion, maybe he has been wearing it for five or six years, but it is not difficult to detoxify, it's just ,...... If you can't decide, just look at it first. β
Qiao Wei breathed a sigh of relief, she really couldn't make this decision for a while, if there was still time...... Since the young lady is sure of detoxification, there is no need to worry...... Perhaps, it would be better to let him suffer a little......
Jin Yi looked at her and knew that she couldn't make up her mind for a while. After I found out about this, I also thought about whether to sue SΓΉ Qiaowei for two or three days. It is not difficult to detoxify, it is rare that people's hearts are sinister, and she is a little incomprehensible for a while.
Jin Yi sighed, missing Mr. Ji a little.
"Miss, who poisoned you?"
ββ¦β¦ I don't know. Jin Yi groaned, "It should be a gift from someone close to you, but it's just ...... Unless Xu is crazy, he will want to poison his husband......"
Qiao Wei nodded in agreement.
"There are so many rights and wrongs in this home. If your young lady is still alive, it is better to stay in Shangxiu Hall than to come back. β
Qiao Wei was silent.
"Let's go to sleep again......" Jin Yi lay back on the couch. Qiao Wei tucked her quilt into the corner and went out sullenly.
As soon as the time arrived, Cai Jing had already gotten up. Tell the little maid who did the rough work to boil the water and bring it into the room herself. When she entered the palace today, she didn't know if Miss would take her there, if she could comb Miss's hair in a better bun today, maybe ......
After entering the room, Jin Yi had already gotten up, only wearing deep clothes. After cleaning her face, Cai Jing followed her to the dressing table, but saw that there were already many large and small porcelain bottles and jade jars on the table, and Qian Mo was holding a box of incense powder to take a closer look.
Jin Yi turned her head and said gently: "Caijing, just let Qianmo dress up for me today." β
Cai Jing couldn't hide the disappointment on her face, and sneered, "Miss,...... Do you want slaves and maids to go with you when you enter the palace today? β
"No need, Qiao Wei and Qian Mo just accompany me." Jin Yi chuckled.
"That'...... I want to go home today to see my brother, he, he's not getting well lately. β
Jin Yi smiled kindly, "Go ahead." I'll ask Qiaowei to get you fifty taels of silver later. β
Cai Jing bowed her head and thanked for the reward, turned around and picked up the curtain and went out.
Jin Yi glanced at her, pursed her lips, and did not speak. walked to Qian Mo's side and looked at the bottles and cans on the table.
I took a lot longer to put on my makeup today than usual. After touching it for almost an hour, Qian Mo stopped, and combed Xiuying's lily bun for her, and the strands of hair were pulled up separately, and then piled up into one place, like a lily blooming, charming and beautiful.
Qian Mo had already thought about the headdress to wear, and the box of warm smoke purple jade given by Mrs. Fan last time had been made into hairpins by Qiao Wei, and only a small half of it was used. The largest piece in it has not yet been carved, and Qiao Wei plans to make a jade phoenix on the top in the future.
Qian Mo took out the newly made cloisonnΓ© gold stamen warm smoke purple hosta, and gently pinched it into the cloud sideburns, and the sideburns were a circle of small royal blue beads.
Jin Yi looked at the jade face in the rhombic mirror, her eyebrows were a little slender, and now the peak of her eyebrows was slightly soft, depicted as willow eyebrows. The eyelashes are brushed with a very fine layer of brown powder, which is not as thick and black as usual, and the light purple eyes look warm and soft.
Qian Mo spent a lot of effort on the side of her nose and cheekbones to sweep out the shadows, making the contours of her entire face richer than usual.
Many subtle changes in Yuyan have weakened Jinyi's exotic appearance, adding some grace to the Central Plains woman.
Qian Mo looked at her face in the mirror and exhaled lightly, she finally understood why the prince had to let her spend so long practicing the art of makeup.
