Chapter 404: A Hundred Flowers Compete for Beauty
"So what? Do you want me to use this face to go out and be embarrassed? Yun Qingfeng looked at the four maids coldly, thinking that they must be crazy. If you want her to appear in front of people like this, then you might as well kill her!
The four maids glanced at each other, then stepped aside and discussed in a whisper.
Yun Qingfeng only felt that her skin was itchy and unbearable, but she didn't dare to scratch it wantonly, her forbearance made her very irritable, and then looked at the ghostly face in the mirror, she couldn't hold back her anger anymore, and swept all the rouge gouache on the table to the ground with a bang.
This palace really restrains her, and she becomes like this as soon as she comes! It's a lifelong shame, this face! I'm afraid that I will be scared to wake up by myself when I dream!
"Mother's ......"
The maids were startled, and one of them looked at the fat powder scattered all over the place, and an idea immediately came to his mind.
"Niangniang, the slaves and maids have inquired, the queen is very harsh in governing the harem, no concubine dares to disobey the queen's will, if the mother does not attend the night banquet this time, it is equivalent to refuting the queen's face in public, others will say that the queen is pampered and arrogant, and the queen must not only be offended, it is likely that the cousin will be condemned by the master, please think twice!"
Yun Qingfeng smiled coldly, "If I want to appear in front of people with this face, I think it will definitely ruin His Majesty's appetite, you are not afraid that Your Majesty will abolish me immediately, and then your father's dream will be shattered immediately?" ”
She knew that these four maids were not so much sent by her father to serve her, but rather sent by her father to monitor her, and what her father hoped most was that she could be favored by His Majesty. If you attend a banquet today, let alone pampering, you will probably never see your majesty again.
"Rest assured, the slaves and maids already have an idea, not only to prevent the mother from being rude to the queen, but also to protect the reputation of the mother."
Yun Qingfeng frowned, "What way?" ”
"Niangniang, Qiu Shi is good at makeup, the slave can use fat powder to fade the red spots on Niangniang's face, but this allergy will make Niangniang feel uncomfortable, but you only need to endure it for one night, I believe that a few days of conditioning will definitely make Niangniang restore her stunning appearance. Moreover, Niangniang is good at singing and dancing, you can take advantage of tonight to let everyone feast their eyes, and then cover their faces with a light veil, only a pair of beautiful eyes can turn all beings upside down, and then Majesty Xià is happy, Niangniang can say that her skin is uncomfortable, and she may love Niangniang, and she is allowed not to uncover the light veil. ”
"Yes, Sister Qiushi is right, the slave maid thinks that Niangniang has earned enough face for His Majesty in a dance, and she will agree to any request when the time comes."
Yun Qingfeng immediately understood what they meant, and wanted to dance a song to please Her Majesty, and then on the grounds of skin discomfort, she was willing to ask Her Majesty to allow her to wear a veil all the time. looked at Qiu Shi suspiciously, "Are you sure you can hide these red dots?" ”
"Rest assured, Niangniang has always been so stunning without makeup, so it's better to change the style today and let the slave decorate the Niangniang's heavy makeup."
They cleaned up the rouge on the ground and stood in front of the mirror, waiting for Yun Qingfeng to make the final decision.
is also a member of the Yun family, Yun Qingfeng feels that the queen should not embarrass herself because of such a trivial matter, but as Qiu Shi said, singing and dancing is the skill that she is most proud of in addition to beauty, isn't she studying hard for more than ten years just to make a splash one day? That day in the backyard of the Yun family, His Majesty was fascinated by his own dancing, so today, it is better to let everyone understand that Concubine Yunxian is definitely not a wasteful name, so that the queen mother knows that she is definitely qualified to "inherit" her status.
Yun Qingfeng's pride made her change her mind immediately. It is their blessing and their own compassion to let the beauties of the harem and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty enjoy her singing and dancing.
When she sat down slowly, Qiu Shi showed a happy smile on her face, picked up the puff and carefully cheered up Yun Qingfeng.
After a long time, the four maids stepped back and looked at the woman in front of them who seemed to be a different person, the expression on their faces made Yun Qingfeng a little worried, "What, can't it?" ”
“…… No, it's not, it's beautiful...... it's just that although this heavy makeup hides all the red spots on Yun Qingfeng's face, it doesn't look like a fairy, and it looks a little like a demagogic goblin. But it's really much better than before, I just don't know if Your Majesty will like such a gorgeous Yun Concubine.
"I'll see!" Yun Qingfeng couldn't wait to put aside the maid in front of her, looking at her face in the mirror, she was silent for a while, "Is this still me?" Sure enough, even she didn't like the way she looked at the moment.
"Mother, you will get used to it when you wear a light veil." Chun Nuan handed over a dreamy light veil, hiding half of his face, only revealing a pair of bewitching and charming eyes, and his temperament was obviously much better than Fang Cai, which made people can't help but want to explore the beauty under the light veil.
Yun Qingfeng was still a little hesitant, she lowered her head and looked at the back of her terrifying hand, and the maids immediately understood what she was worried about.
"Niangniang, wait a moment!"
Chun Nuan lifted her skirt and trotted out, and after a while, she appeared in front of everyone with a pair of gorgeous gemstone gloves.
"This glove was borrowed by the slave maid from the weaving room, and it just matched the dress sent by His Majesty, as long as the mother wore this whole set of dresses, it was simply impeccable!"
"Yes, Niangniang, it's rare to have such a good day, Niangniang can't wear a plain dress to attend, as long as Niangniang can endure the discomfort of her skin, she will be able to successfully pass tonight."
The four maids said a word, and finally moved Yun Qingfeng, she slowly stood up, "Change to a gorgeous golden light veil, since the palace has decided, then you have to do your best." "Even if you are allergic, Yun Qingfeng believes that he will be able to master the world!
……
"Mother, I've got a letter!" In the palace of the dancing concubine, the palace maid vigilantly took out a note from her arms, and the woman who was dressing up in front of the mirror immediately turned around, "Show it to the palace." ”
This time Concubine Yun entered the palace, it can be said that every concubine has uneasiness in their hearts. The one brought back by His Majesty Xià himself was the Yun family, that is, the cronies of the queen's mother, I am afraid that he will be honored and favored infinitely, right?
When the dancing concubine heard the news, she immediately sent a message to Yun Shu, she wanted to ask the meaning of the imperial physician and the background of this Yun concubine.
Finally got the favor of Emperor Xiao, she can't lose it so soon!
When she opened the note, a smile finally appeared on the dancing concubine's face. With the permission of the imperial physician, she felt a lot more confident, and since Yun Shu saved her at that time, Concubine Wu listened to Yun Shu's words and believed deeply. Since even the imperial physician agreed, then she didn't need to be polite to this Yun concubine.
Although tonight was specially organized by the queen for Concubine Yun, the dancing concubine never believed that the queen would treat this person sincerely. Knowing that the Yun family is sending someone in to compete for His Majesty's favor, doesn't it mean that even the Yun family has lost confidence in the queen? According to the understanding of the dancing concubine, how could the queen be willing?
So this time, the dancing concubine can also test the queen's attitude, so she can decide how to deal with it.
As the night darkens, the garden of the harem is lit with colorful lantern lanterns, but all concubines above the second rank are eligible to attend. As far as the eye can see, there is a beautiful and boundless scene. Every concubine dressed up for today, and said that this Yun Concubine was captivating the country and the city, but they wanted to see how beautiful this Yun Concubine could be in this beautiful harem of Yi Kingdom, and whether they could be convinced.
Although it was a banquet held in the harem, many officials were also invited by the queen to attend. They each had their own thoughts, and with infinite curiosity about the beauty offered by the Yun family, they sat down in the spring garden.
"Oh? It's been a lively day. Xiao Yichen, who was dressed in fancy casual clothes, was a little surprised, he thought that Yun Mei would just deal with himself hastily, but he didn't expect the scene to be so grand.
"Your Majesty ......" Each concubine immediately showed a shy smile on her face, and they all got up and saluted the visitor, all kinds of customs came into her eyes, Xiao Yichen smiled slightly, and was in a happy mood.
"See the emperor...... the ministers saluted in unison, and the man just waved his hand slightly, "Excuse me!" Then he strode in the direction of the main seat, sat down, looked around, but did not see the otherworldly figure, "Concubine Yun has not arrived yet?" ”
Looking at those ministers who were full of anticipation, Xiao Yichen was proud in his heart, he couldn't wait to tell the world, but all the good things in this world belong to him! He didn't even bother to think deeply about whether such a thing was really good, and if it was carrying some kind of conspiracy.
He was so arrogant and confident, although, he never really paid attention to these icing on the cake.
"Your Majesty, why is it so early today?" Yun Mei's soft voice carried a deep smile, and she gently sat beside Xiao Yichen.
"Well, you didn't invite anyone from the Feng family?"
"The concubine has already ordered someone to send an invitation, but I heard that the people of the Feng family are preparing to return to Chenguo, so they didn't attend."
Now Princess Yongning went to the Yun family to recuperate, and the eldest young master of the Feng family was seriously injured, they only sent a few people from the Feng family to follow, and the rest were ready to return to China.
Although Xiao Yichen was puzzled by the Feng family's approach, he didn't care, after all, it was Chenguo's business. It's just that...... He heard that it was the man who had been wearing a mask all the time who went to the Yun family, which made Xiao Yichen think a little more.
I only heard that person is a friend of Fourth Young Master Feng, so does he make the Feng family trust? Thinking of that person, Xiao Yichen couldn't help frowning, always feeling a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange.
"Majesty? 陛xià? Yun Mei looked at Xiao Yichen and was actually distracted, was she thinking about Concubine Yun? At the moment, I smiled coldly in my heart, and after a while, I was afraid that His Majesty would change Concubine Yun's title and replace it with an ugly word, right?!
Ugly concubine, ugly concubine, hehe, it's really exciting
