Chapter 143: Add makeup

The Venus in front of him gradually dissipated, and Lu Qingrong saw the current situation clearly.

At this time, she still maintained the posture of getting up, sitting on the rosewood stepping bed in the middle, the only difference was that Jiang Xuan was sitting beside her, holding her with both hands.

Because they were sitting, the height gap between the two was slightly smaller than when they were standing, and at this moment, Lu Qingrong's head was just resting on Jiang Xuan's shoulder.

As soon as Lu Qingrong found out, he instinctively wanted to break away from his embrace, but he was afraid that it would be even more embarrassing, so he froze there for a while.

In this way, this obviously ambiguous/ambiguous posture was maintained for a moment.

"Nightmares?" Jiang Xuan's voice came from above her head, and his tone was very natural.

"Hmm." Lu Qingrong replied softly, her voice so small that she couldn't even hear it.

"What did you dream about?" Jiang Xuan obviously had no experience in comforting people, and he didn't know what to say.

"I first dreamed of when I was ......a child, when I was just one year old," Lu Qingrong didn't want to think about it anymore, and just said simply.

Jiang Xuan had specifically learned about Lu Qingrong's past, and when he heard her mention "when she was one year old", he also knew that it was a turbulent year for her......

No wonder as soon as he returned to the inner room just now, he heard Lu Qingrong shouting something vaguely, the voice was not small, but he couldn't hear the content at all, he must have shouted it in a nightmare.

Lu Qingrong quietly looked up at Jiang Xuan, and saw that he seemed to be losing his mind for a moment, so he took the opportunity to gently withdraw from his arms.

But until he and Jiang Xuan just sat side by side, without any physical contact, Lu Qingrong could still feel his heart pounding.

I don't know if the tension of waking up from the nightmare has not yet dissipated, or if the slightly intimate touch just now made her a little at a loss.

And with her movements, Jiang Xuan also came back to his senses from his thoughts.

There was a sudden lightness in his arms, and Jiang Xuan actually felt a little lost.

But in an instant, he remembered the soft and warm feeling in his arms a little bit from the previous moment.

The afterglow seemed to inadvertently float past Lu Qingrong beside him, and saw that she was wearing a white bamboo pattern silk forging bedclothes, which wrapped her tightly, and there was no more skin exposed than her usual outfit, but it still made him look at his throat tightly, and quickly looked away.

And Lu Qingrong also forced himself to turn his head to look at Jiang Xuan again at this time, only to notice that he was already dressed neatly at this moment, wearing an azure plain brocade robe, and the hair under the white jade crown was meticulously combed.

"You're up so early?" Lu Qingrong asked strangely.

"Is this early?" Jiang Xuan smiled, and instantly relaxed a lot, "It's almost the beginning of the year!" ”

"So late?" Lu Qingrong thought it was just dawn just now, so he couldn't help but look at the window again.

"Don't look at it. It's a little gloomy today, and there is no sun. Jiang Xuan explained with a smile.

"Why didn't Luzhu come to wake me up......" Lu Qingrong inevitably said to herself, it was the first time she had gotten up so late since she married into the Hou Mansion.

"You've wronged her. When I went to the study in the morning, I saw that she was coming to wake you up. Jiang Xuan chuckled: "I thought that you tossed all day yesterday and slept late at night, so I didn't let her in." ”

I see.

Lu Qingrong's cheeks were slightly red, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Have you had breakfast?" Lu Qingrong suddenly asked again, "Aren't you still going to enter the palace?" ”

"I've just used it, I'll be gone in a moment." Jiang Xuan paused, seeming to hesitate, "I'll come over to see if you got up and didn't ......"

Lu Qingrong also saw his appearance of wanting to speak and stopping.

"What's wrong? But what happened? Lu Qingrong asked worriedly.

"Not really." Jiang Xuan seemed to casually talk about the things that Mo Nan asked him to inquire about in the morning, "The people of the He family have indeed set off from Shandong and are now on their way to the capital. ”

Jiang Xuan said as he paid attention to Lu Qingrong's expression.

Although she said last night that they were all irrelevant people and didn't want to know about them, Jiang Xuan always felt that she didn't let go of this matter so lightly.

In addition, she happened to have nightmares about her childhood in the morning, which shows that these people still make some waves in her heart.

At this time, Lu Qingrong really didn't stop him from continuing to speak.

"This time, the He family can be regarded as a nest dispatch, in addition to He Zhiyuan and his wife, there are also He Di and his wife, and even the aunt of He Mansion is going to come to the capital with him."

Lu Qingrong listened to him quietly.

Although she would not take the initiative to inquire about the affairs of the He family, she did not intend to deliberately avoid anything.

Hearing this, Lu Qingrong was a little puzzled: "Is this going to move to the capital to live permanently?" ”

"It's a real possibility." Jiang Xuan explained to her: "He Zhiyuan came to the capital this time, and he planned to come to Zhishi. In fact, he had already handed over the fold, just waiting for the emperor's imperial pen to approve it. ”

"Zhishi?" In Lu Qingrong's few remaining memories, He Zhiyuan seems to have been carefully managing his career, and he doesn't look like a person who will take the initiative to become a leader.

"Exactly." Jiang Xuan affirmed: "He has been sitting in the position of Shandong Political Secretary for more than ten years, looking at Daqi, there are only a handful of officials who have not moved for ten years, not to mention that he is old, and he no longer has any hope for his promotion." ”

Then you don't have to take the initiative to resign, right?

remembered that He Zhiyuan was originally very resistant to He Kai and Qiu Muyun, but in the end, in order to please Shangfeng, he still acquiesced to He Kai's reconciliation, and even agreed to his separation from his daughter......

Based on Lu Qingrong's understanding of He Zhiyuan, she still can't understand this matter very well.

"He did this, presumably for He Di's career." Jiang Xuan continued: "Since Na He Di has been defeated repeatedly in the examination, he has finally been able to make up for the Xuezheng of Linfen, Shanxi Province as a person, from the ninth grade, but there has been no sign of promotion for many years. After all, He Zhiyuan's participation in politics from Sanpin is also a local magistrate, and he has the grace of the heirs of Enyin, and it is estimated that he wants to take this opportunity to fight for He Di's career. ”

After listening to Jiang Xuan's explanation, Lu Qingrong understood.

If this is the case, it is indeed in line with He Zhiyuan's consistent style.

"When will they arrive in the capital?" Lu Qingrong asked.

"If they drag their families with them, they will definitely not be able to go too fast, and it is estimated that it will be next month." Jiang Xuan replied.

Lu Qingrong secretly thought in his heart, judging from the recent change in He Kai and Qiu Muyun's attitude towards her, I am afraid that after the He family arrives in the capital, there will be some toss.

It's just that it's still a long time, and she really doesn't want to think about these things that give her a headache at the moment.

The melancholy of waking up from the nightmare finally gradually dissipated, and Lu Qingrong saw that Jiang Xuan was still sitting next to her naturally, and began to feel that something was wrong, so he reminded instead: "It's not early, shouldn't you enter the palace?" ”

Jiang Xuan saw that her complexion began to ease at this time, so he didn't say more, and instructed: "There is nothing to do in the house today, if you don't rest, it doesn't hurt to lie down again." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Lu Qingrong to react, he stood up and walked straight out of the inner room.

Lu Qingrong was already a little embarrassed when he heard this, but when he lowered his head slightly and saw what he was wearing, his face turned even redder.

Of course, she didn't lie down again, but immediately called Green Bamboo to come in and freshen up, and pretended not to see Green Bamboo with a slightly weird smile all the time......

In the next few days, Lu Qingrong and Jiang Xuan still regained their previous relationship that was both cordial and distant, and there was no more unexpected contact.

It was also very calm in the Yuyuan.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to add makeup to Tang Yue.

Lu Qingrong instructed Luzhu to prepare several makeup in advance, including a tassel hairpin and pendant inlaid with red gold and jade, an emerald ice jade bracelet, and a thumb-sized Nanzhu head face all over the body......

Just wait to see the makeup given by Mrs. Wu, and then decide which one to send.

Lu Qingrong took Luzhu to Qinyi Courtyard early in the morning, and as she expected, Mrs. Wu didn't have any intention of communicating with her about what gifts to give for makeup, but just casually instructed her not to be rude when she arrived at the Yanguo Mansion.

It wasn't until he followed Mrs. Wu to the Yanguo Mansion and met the Duchess of Yanguo that Lu Qingrong saw Mrs. Wu's makeup, which was a pair of red gold and rubies, which looked very weighty.

Lu Qingrong hurriedly asked Lu Zhu to take the pair of emerald ice jade bracelets over and send them over.

Although the ice species is not the top in the jadeite, but fortunately, the color of this pair of bracelets is very high, and the green of the whole body is very uniform.

When the people of the Yanguo Mansion saw it, their faces were really happy.

Today is Tang Yue's day of adding makeup, and there are a large number of guests who come to the Yanguo Mansion, not only the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion.

After all, Tang Yue is going to marry the second prince of the dynasty, although he cannot be compared with His Royal Highness the Prince, but he is also an extremely noble figure, and there is naturally an endless stream of people who come to add makeup.

Tang Yue still did not show up today, but the Duchess of Yan Guo entertained the guests in the front hall.

After receiving the makeup from the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion, Duchess Yan Guo turned her head to look at Lu Qingrong: "The little girl has been talking about you these days, if Mrs. Shizi is free, you can go over and chat with her for a while, I think she will be suffocated these days!" ”

Speaking of Tang Yue, the people of the Yanguo Mansion showed a doting smile, and then turned their heads to look at Mrs. Wu, as if asking for her consent.

Mrs. Wu frowned slightly when she heard this, and seemed to hesitate slightly, but she couldn't shirk it: "Then you can go over and talk to you!" ”

This is what he said to Lu Qingrong.

Lu Qingrong was also willing in his heart, and after getting Mrs. Wu's words, he came to Tang Yue's boudoir under the guidance of the maid of the Yanguo Mansion.

"You're finally here!" Tang Yue couldn't help but say as soon as he saw her, his tone was a little anxious. RS
