Chapter 30: Rouge

On this day, Empress Liu Hui had just returned from the East Palace.

As soon as he entered the door of his own temple, he approached the ice cubes offered in the temple, and his little face was red from the sun.

"The queen mother chooses this day? The sun is so big, it won't work every few days, why don't you cherish the phoenix body. Zhao Xiche was distressed, and hurriedly chose a plate of watermelon and handed it to Liu Hui.

Liu Hui patted Bing Dip's little face, sat back on the couch, and Jin Lianzi picked a honey watermelon and put it in his mouth, and the heat subsided.

"The queen mother is weak and afraid of heat, do you want to send the imperial doctor to see, heat stroke will be troublesome. In the past, even my father was sympathetic to you and would not summon you more. Zhao Xiche took another Luo fan and slowly fanned Liu Hui.

Liu Hui stroked her chest and shook her head: "The body of this palace is weak, and it is not a matter of one or two days, don't stir up the people." Besides, earlier the saint went to see the East Palace, and according to the rules, the Palace had to go next. ”

Liu Hui paused and sighed: "If the palace is late, it will be picked up by someone with a heart, saying that the East Palace is neglected." It is inevitable to provoke the popularity of the saint, and the East Palace has to be scolded again. ”

Zhao Xiche pursed his mouth and threw the Luo fan: "Why does the queen mother value the eldest brother so much?" Everything for him? Obviously I am your own son! ”

Liu Hui patted Zhao Xiche's face lovingly: "Silly son, of course the queen mother loves you the most." But if you think about it, your eldest brother lost his mother two years ago, and this deep palace is walking on thin ice, and it is not easy for him. ”

Zhao Xiche tilted his head and smiled, his anger came and went quickly, and he picked up the Luo fan again, and there was no fan.

"Yes, I know! I like the eldest brother too! It's just that sometimes, listening to the palace people's broken mouths, saying that the queen mother is like this, she is pretending to be in front of her father and the emperor, and she is famous! After all, how can there be a successor who will hurt the Yuan Hou family, and he still has his son with him! ”

Liu Hui smiled faintly, and the clouds were light: "The imperial palace is right and wrong, how can it be moved." Misunderstanding, just explain it once, if the world still doesn't understand...... Let them go. ”

Zhao Xiche smiled, snuggled up to Liu Hui like a child, and began to doze off in the afternoon.

Liu Hui patted him on the back lovingly and hummed a little song softly.

"The boat on Cailian Lake returns, the wind is about Hunan skirt cui, and a pipa is a few lines of tears. Looking forward to the king's return, there is no news from Furong. How much cooler is it at night, flaminary duck egret, where don't you fly ......"

Wu Nong's soft language, Tankou Musk Lan.

She used to sing to her.

One sings on the Que, the other sings on the Que, they are all the most beautiful people in the world, with fragrant clothes and smiling sideburns.

……

She is a Jiangnan woman. Although the ancestors are scholars, it is not a big deal to put it in the right minister's house.

When she was brought into the house by the right minister, there were already five or six side rooms in front of her, Zhong Ming Ding Food House, and the back house was also full of pomegranate flowers.

"This is the old husband's wife, Jia Chan." Zhao Yin clenched her little hand in public.

Wen Jia Wucheng turned out to be the Jia family, the head of the civil officials.

She hurriedly saluted. The palms of his hands are sweaty. I don't know if this lady with a strong family background will give her this new entry, how to get off the horse.

Before going to Beijing, she had heard that the big families in Shengjing had a quagmire in the back house, and the beauties had red lips and white teeth in front of them, but they were in a mess behind them.

What's more, the wife of the right prime minister is no less than a general who commands an army, and she must have powerful means.

The eyes of the other sisters fell on Zhao Yin holding her hand, like a knife.

Zhao Yin met her when she went to Jiangnan on official business. married her, and the right prime minister's mansion in Beijing heard about it, and the undercurrent had already fermented.

However, Jia Chan just smiled: "July in Jiangnan, it should be a lotus in the sky." The boat returns on Cailian Lake, and the wind is about Hunan skirt cui...... Can you sing? ”

She didn't dare to disobey, she sang carefully, and after the song was finished, she heard Jia Chan sigh softly.

"Sure enough, when I saw my sister, I knew where not to fly, and this mood is not wronged."

She was stunned. Subconsciously look up. crashed into Jia Chan's gaze, as clean as the autumn sky after the rain.

……

Zhao Yin is very fond of her.

She was born well, and because she grew up in Jiangnan, she has more exquisite aura that Shengjing women don't have. She is small and weak, and she always has a posture of Xizi's heart, which is even more pitiful to Zhao Yin.

It is rumored in the house that she is a fox and a charmer, pretending to be sick and pity, what kind of sister and sister, on the surface she smiles like a flower, and she can spit on her heels when she turns her head.

Zhao Yin, as the right minister, is busy with government affairs, and he can't take care of it many times. She had no relatives in Shengjing, so she could only lock herself in the house and wash her face with tears.

Only Jia Chan, who is high up and perfect as the moon, brought her a lot of rouge.

Then, she personally dipped her fingertips in rouge, leaned down, and gently stroked her lips.

"Sister, rouge is a woman's armor...... Once you've got it, you have only two options...... Be favored, or die......"

Beauty fingers are like green onions, carmine. Within a stone's throw of her, she fell into her eyes, as beautiful as the tears of the Buddha.

From that day on, every morning, she solemnly smeared rouge.

It was also from that day that she caused the sins of the rest of her life.

She stepped on her sister's bones, stepped on her sister's blood, and even calculated the husband who always protected her behind her, and Jiangnan in her bones quenched a knife.

The only exception is her.

She couldn't even bear to get dirty on the corners of her clothes.

The first side room, the concubine, after that, she finally came to the highest position of a woman in the world.

However, in her eyes, the most precious rouge in the imperial palace was not as good as the blush she smeared for her that day.

……

Liu Hui stopped singing and stroked her upper lip in a trance.

A little red on the fingertips.

Nian Nujiao. It was the name of the rouge she gave her that day, and for years afterward, she used only this rouge.

It's been two years. The maggots of the tarsal bones call to the air.

But no one responded.

Early August. There is good news from the West Mountains.

The war was won. The Zhou army won a complete victory. The general Shen Yu returned to the court.

It is said that Shen Yu rode on a tall horse, dressed in a handsome robe, and was full of spirit, which made people sigh that the little marquis of the Pingchang Marquis Mansion was no longer a playboy who had fun all day long.

Emperor Daxi. Twelve turns of military merit were given. The East Palace personally set up a banquet for Shen Yu to wash the dust.

After being lively for several days, I heard that Shen Yu returned to the Pingchang Hou Mansion, and it took two to get the wheel, make a few side dishes, and go to the door in person.

"Yo, the second girl. Wait a minute, the little briefing goes. "The little guys guarding the door all know Hua Er and are smiling.

But the little girl didn't take a few steps on the front foot, and rushed out on the back foot, looking at her and smirking: "Second sister!" There you are! ”

Hua Er pretended to be disgusted: "I don't have the demeanor of a son at all!" He also said that you went out to practice, and what was wrong! ”

"Of course I've changed, master, you didn't look at my arms, they've grown a lot, and they're tanned." Shen Yu welcomed Hua Er into the mansion, and couldn't stop laughing, "However, my mind for my second sister will never change." ”

"What's the matter! In broad daylight, they are very talkative. Hua Er diverted the topic.

The two of them came to a gazebo in the garden. In the shade of green poplars, the wind sends lotus fragrance, and two or three small dishes are placed on the slate table.

Steamed cheese with sugar, lotus leaf soup, water chestnut cake sprinkled with osmanthus.

"When your class teacher returned to the court, I naturally want to congratulate you. Try my craft. Hua Er paused and added, "I also read the letter you sent me, thank you." ”

Shen Yu staggered for a moment: "Thank you...... That's it? ”
