The fourth imperial concubine got up early this morning, and when they came, they said to her personal maid Baijie: "Today, you can help me change my hairstyle to look younger, and the powder on my cheeks will also be more careful." ”

Baijie hurriedly complied.

Every morning, Baijie has to spend nearly half an hour to put on makeup for the four princesses, so he knows the preferences and requirements of the four princes in makeup.

After the dress was finished, the four imperial concubines looked at themselves carefully in the mirror.

The appearance of the person in the mirror is already beautiful in itself, and with delicate makeup, it looks charming and moving.

But the fourth prince was not very satisfied, she said to Baijie: "This outfit looks old, help me change the pink embroidered one." ”

"Wouldn't that set be a little too grand?" Baijie reminded.

She remembered that the four imperial concubines only wore that set of clothes when they entered the palace to meet the emperor and queen.

"I just wanted to dress up today." The fourth imperial concubine said.

Baijie didn't dare to say anything more, and immediately went to fetch her the set of clothes she said.

After changing into this pink dress, the four imperial concubines looked at the mirror carefully.

Bai Jie was afraid that the four imperial concubines would have to change into other clothes, so she smiled and said, "Imperial Princess, the set of clothes you are wearing now matches your hairstyle and blush!" ”

Indeed, the four imperial concubines also knew that they were already as bright as a flower in the mirror. But she knows better that even if she dresses up like this, she still can't compare to half of Guo Yijie's beauty.

Thinking of this, the fourth imperial concubine was a little sad, but after all, she was a person who had seen the world, so she quickly controlled her emotions. He smiled and turned around and said, "You go and inform the ten aunts now, and say that there will be a distinguished guest who will come to visit later, and let them come to the Yingxiu Pavilion for a gathering." ”

Baijie trotted to inform them.

These ten aunts are also divided into three factions on weekdays - one faction of the eldest aunt, one faction of the third aunt and one faction of the fourth aunt, one faction of the second aunt, one faction of the fifth aunt, and another faction of other aunts.

When they learned of the invitation of the four imperial concubines, they all immediately had their own thoughts.

"She asked us to meet a distinguished guest for no reason, and I don't know what she had in mind." The third aunt came to discuss with the eldest aunt.

The third aunt is a person who likes to consult with the eldest aunt when she has nothing to do.

The eldest aunt lay on her back in the chair, her hands gently shaking the armrests, and there was no expression on her face.

She was also surprised by the invitation of the four imperial concubines, after all, in her opinion. The four imperial concubines would never do this out of good intentions.

This may not have been noticed by the other aunts. But the eldest aunt is the one who can see through her tricks at a glance.

Because of this, the fourth imperial concubine hated both the fifth aunt Xiao Lingshu and the eldest aunt Fan Ling.

Therefore, the four imperial concubines have always rarely interacted with the eldest aunt.

"It's definitely not going to be a good thing to call all ten of us, we have to keep some heart." The eldest aunt said.

The third aunt nodded. He asked uneasily: "Then do you think we should refuse it tactfully?" ”

"No, if we refuse, it will definitely upset the Fourth Imperial Concubine and leave a handle for the other aunts. So we don't just have to go. And you have to be very happy. The eldest aunt said.

Anyway, be careful when you go.

On the other side. Aunt Wu Xiao Lingshu immediately asked her subordinates to help her dress up after this notice on the street, and asked the maid to change her into a set of clothes that she thought was the most beautiful and grandiose like the four imperial concubines.

"Madame, I'm just going to see a guest. Do you really need to wear such a grand dress? The maid cautioned.

"I have to dress like this for an occasion like this." Xiao Lingshu said with a smile.

She knew that the Fourth Imperial Concubine would definitely dress herself up beautifully, so she told herself that she must not be far from her in dress and momentum, otherwise she would be compared to the other party.

And for the current Xiao Lingshu, because she is deeply favored by the four princes, she is unwilling to lose to the four princesses in any aspect.

If you talk about the city, where are you my opponent, the fourth princess? Xiao Lingshu said secretly in her heart, and a trace of coldness flashed in the corners of her eyes.

The maid immediately groomed it.

When dressing up Xiao Lingshu, the maid asked in a low voice, "Do you need me to inform the second aunt to come to you?" ”

Xiao Lingshu closed her eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, "No need. ”

After dressing up, Xiao Lingshu went to Yingxiu Pavilion alone.

The second aunt also arrived.

They met at the door of the Shadow Show Pavilion.

At this time, there was no one in the Shadow Show Pavilion.

"Looks like the two of us got there first." The second aunt took Xiao Lingshu's hand and said.

"Yes, but they should be there soon." Xiao Lingshu said.

The second aunt immediately pulled Xiao Lingshu aside and whispered, "Let's sit on the side this time, right?" Save yourself from being splashed with her saliva. ”

Xiao Lingshu shook her head and said, "On the contrary, we should sit in the closest place to her." ”

Xiao Lingshu deliberately dressed up to come to the appointment, just to be able to compare the four imperial concubines.

She could already imagine the resentment in the heart of the fourth imperial concubine as she sat beside her.

The second aunt didn't think of this layer before, but then she thought about it, although she didn't feel very good in her heart, she still forced a smile and said: "That's right, we don't need to be so afraid of her." ”

Xiao Lingshu smiled slightly, held the second aunt's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go and sit down first." ”

As soon as the two of them sat down, they heard a voice outside, and hurriedly craned their necks to look out—but saw that the fourth imperial concubine was leading a young woman like a flower and jade to this side.

They were followed by the rest of the aunts.

Xiao Lingshu and the second aunt glanced at each other, and then tacitly got up and went out to greet each other.

"Have you had a nice trip here?" The fourth imperial concubine took Guo Yijie's hand and asked.

"The road went pretty smoothly." Guo Yijie replied respectfully.

"Why is there so little luggage?" The fourth imperial concubine asked again.

All of Guo Yijie's luggage was filled with a small travel bag.

In the eyes of the four princesses, just three or four sets of clothes are enough to fill this travel bag, not to mention that women also have cosmetics and jewelry.

"I usually have three sets of clothes, and I don't have many jewelry and cosmetics." Guo Yijie replied with a smile.

While talking, he blessed the aunts.

Although the ten aunts all returned the gift to Guo Yijie, Guo Yijie could see at a glance that several of them were reluctant.

However, the purpose of her coming was to make them enemies of each other, so she couldn't help but rejoice when she saw this.

But she pretended to have a respectful and cautious expression on her face, and took the initiative to reach out and take the hands of the aunts.

These ten aunts also pretended to ask Guo Yijie for warmth.

Guo Yijie answered one by one.

Entering the Yingxiu Pavilion, Guo Yijie bowed to the four imperial concubines and the ten aunts and said, "In the future, I will take care of you!" ”

The faces of the ten aunts all changed suddenly. (To be continued.) )

PS: Dear friends, the second shift is coming. Good night!
