Xiaoxing and Feng Fang were instructed, so they came in and waited for Shen Yan to freshen up.

Both of them looked at Shen Yan and Xu Jin with a look of relief.

For this expression, Shen Yan thought about it, and could only describe it as kindness.

Feeling that there were two extraordinarily kind and kind eyes on his body, Shen Yan rubbed the corners of his forehead and said, "I'm going to go out today and comb a slightly more solemn bun!" ”

"Yes."

Xiaoxing replied with a smile.

Shen Yan sat in front of the dresser to make up, and Xu Jin sat quietly on the side and looked at her carefully.

Xu Jin's gaze was sharp and deep, ordinary people couldn't stand his gaze, not to mention that Xiaoxing was just a weak woman.

Feeling Xu Jin's gaze, Xiaoxing's hand holding the comb trembled a little unconsciously.

"Don't you have anything to do? Sit here and watch me get dressed. ”

Shen Yan felt Xiaoxing's nervousness, so he spoke out to relieve her.

"Today is the first time I've seen you dressing up, so naturally I have to look carefully, and I have to lean back for any big things."

Xu Jin thought about it seriously and said.

Shen Yan was stunned by the serious and focused look in his eyes when he spoke, and he could no longer say anything to drive him away.

Poor Xiaoxing could only comb Shen Yan's long green silk hair at once under Xu Jin's stern gaze, pull up a high bun for her with her bare hands, and put on a hair crown and four tassel hairpins.

"It's beautiful."

Xu Jin commented seriously.

After combing his hair bun, Xiaoxing prepared to put on makeup for Shen Yan.

Flick the powder and the thrush dots the lips.

After a while, she was a glamorous eldest princess.

"Guess what's going on in my mind?"

Shen Yan and Xu Jin went to the front hall to eat together, and at this time, porridge and breakfast were already set on the table.

Hearing Shen Yan's slightly naughty words, Xu Jin lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Did you think I was going to give you a thrush?" ”

Shen Yan looked at Xu Jin with wide eyes and said, "You are really amazing, you can guess what I am thinking at once." ”

She smiled innocently, scooped the porridge in the bowl, and said, "The thrush is deep and shallow. It is said that a husband gives his wife a thrush, which is a good taste. It's a pity that I just thought about it carefully, what about your hands, you can hold the scriptures, disassemble the armor, handle government affairs, and hold the sword. I just don't know, can I hold the little eyebrow pencil of the boudoir woman? If you paint a thrush for me, it must be a disaster on my face, and maybe I won't be able to go out today. ”

Shen Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud as he thought about the strange scene as he spoke.

Seeing her so happy, Xu Jin said helplessly: "I originally planned to paint eyebrows for you, but I have never painted eyebrows for others." You still have to go out to meet people today, and if I handle it, it must be a disaster on my face. So, I gave up very self-consciously. If you don't go out another day, your husband will definitely paint on your face a few more times to practice your hands. ”

As he spoke, he sandwiched a custard bun from Shen Yan's bowl.

Shen Yan picked up the custard bun and ate it with satisfaction.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, feeling a sense of relaxation and joy in the air.

After a brief breakfast, Shen Yan packed some simple gifts and went to Cui's mansion.

The words of the Emperor yesterday were always a catastrophe. Shen Yan was going to see Cui Ying after all.

The guard at the gate of Cui's mansion received the post and knew that the person who came was the eldest princess, so he hurriedly went in and welcomed her in.

When the head of the Cui family saw Shen Yan, he made a simple salute.

According to age, he is Shen Yan's father, and according to his generation, he is also Shen Yan's elder. This gift is absolutely unbearable.

Shen Yan hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hand, and said with a smile: "The Cui family master doesn't have to be so polite. ”

"The eldest princess is here, but what's the matter?"

The head of the Cui family asked.

"Yesterday, the holy decree came to the palace, and the Cui family has two concubines, which is an honor!"

Shen Yan said with a smile.

When the head of the Cui family heard this, he also smiled and nodded.

Cui Ying's marriage is extremely troublesome. She rejected the marriage contract on the front foot, and on the back foot she had a relationship with Qiao Lingfeng, the waiter of the Criminal Department.

Although he was framed by the one in the second room, but the matter has come to this point, and Cui Ying has no hope in terms of reputation. The reputation of the boudoir woman is extremely important, and Cui Ying is in such a situation, even if she gets married in the future, it will be difficult to marry into the high gate.

He was originally worried, and the news of Na Cui Ying as a concubine came from the palace.

The head of the Cui family was happy that the matter was perfectly resolved, but at the same time, he was worried, Cui Ying and his daughter were on an equal footing.

"The fact that the six girls can enter the palace to serve Your Majesty is her creation."

Shen Yan and the head of the Cui family chatted about some gossip for a long time, and drank two cups of tea.

After saying what should be said, Shen Yan got up and said lightly: "Since Miss Cui has been set in the palace, I want to go and see her today, can I?" ”

"Eldest princess, please."

The head of the Cui family said with a smile: "You take the eldest princess to the courtyard of the sixth lady." ”

"Then I'll take my leave."

Shen Yan smiled faintly and turned around and walked out of the front hall.

Cui's is a Qingliu family with a profound heritage. The maid in front of her who led the way was also full of poetry and books, her eyebrows and eyes were stretched and simple, and it was calming to look at.

After a while, they arrived at Cui Ying's courtyard.

Shen Yan glanced around, and the courtyard was clean and elegant.

"The sixth lady is probably in the house now, and the eldest princess can go in by herself. I'm waiting outside for the eldest princess. ”

The maid saluted and stood outside the courtyard gate.

Shen Yan entered the courtyard, and she didn't see a figure, she pushed the door in, and saw Cui Ying crouching in front of the desk, drawing something under her pen.

"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

When Cui Ying saw Shen Yan coming in, she hurriedly put down the paintbrush in her hand and saluted her.

"Yesterday's incident, I happened to be in the palace, and I came to take a look today."

Shen Yan said lightly.

When Cui Ying heard this, her face froze, and she said with a wry smile: "Since the eldest princess knows, she should understand my mood at this time." ”

"I understand, it's just that there are some things I have to make clear to you."

"Your entry into the palace was not a whim of the imperial brother, but a special mention of it to the emperor by the virtuous concubine. She said that she has a younger sister in the family, who is at a good age and has a beautiful appearance. It is better to be included in the palace for contouring and rejoicing for His Majesty. ”

Hearing Shen Yan's words, Cui Ying sneered and said, "My eldest sister was born for this family, and everything she does is for the honor and disgrace of the family!" She did this because she wanted me to be like her, to give everything to the family, including myself. ”

"I've tried hard yesterday, but I still can't get the imperial brother to dispel the idea of accepting you for contouring. can only let him make you a concubine. At the very least, a high position can allow you to gain a firm foothold in the palace. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Cui Ying's gorgeous face did not have the vitality of the past, and it was as calm as stagnant water at this time, revealing boundless despair.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you before. It's just that now that the overall situation has been decided, you only have two ways now, escape, or obediently enter the palace. ”
