037 Red makeup
The sky was already completely dark, and the bright moon outside the window was hiding among the soft clouds, quietly casting a plain glow. On the red lacquered sandalwood frame next to the wall, there is a pot of painted enamel rectangular beeswax bergamot planting scene, the dotted green branches are decorated with beeswax bergamot and beeswax five-petal flowers, meaning good fortune, the branches and leaves are made of thin gold tray bright blue kingfisher feathers, and the yellow-orange beeswax bergamot complement each other, and there are dye ivory decoration around the daffodil, strange stones, beeswax ganoderma lucidum and other flowers and plants as a dot lining. The jade branches and leaves are already soft and luster, and at this moment, they are gently shrouded in the hazy light color of the glass candle lamp like a mist light veil, as if there is a light bloom infiltrated with crystal fullness, and the eyes are lifelike.
Hearing Zaiyan's footsteps getting closer and closer, I hurriedly glanced at Bai Ge, "The emperor is here, you go outside to greet you, be careful, don't let the emperor see anything wrong." ”
Bai Ge lowered his head and smiled, waved his hand at Ying'er and Que'er, and bowed silently and withdrew.
The appearance of Ying'er and Magpie has become more and more neat and upright in the past few months, and I am very happy when I look at it. They naturally understood what Bai Ge meant, and the two glanced at each other, while closing the curtain in the inner room, they smiled at me with a "hehe": "Don't worry, little master, it's too late." ”
My thug lifted the gap between the gauze curtains, poked his head out of the inner room, and whispered: "When the emperor comes in later, you can leave first with tea." ”
Ying'er and Que'er smiled and said, "Yes, little master." ”
The red candles in the room are being lit one by one, although Ying'er and Que'er are not very old, but they are surprisingly old and steady, and their hands and feet are also very neat.
I stood in front of the mirror and looked at myself inside, wearing a gold-rimmed pipa cardigan, a pink brocade ribbon around my waist, and the hairpin rings falling from my temples, the black hair that fell down like a waterfall was now long braided into a thick braid hanging behind my head, with a ruby on top and a coral gold spike at the end. The ivory folding fan held in his hand, the butterfly-shaped agate inlaid at the end of the fan from time to time shines faintly, and the corners of his mouth are slightly hooked, but it is really quite a bit of a romantic boy.
The door was slammed shut, and I could vaguely see Zai Yan pacing down two steps through the dense mill of gauze and silk satin, Ying'er and Que'er had already prepared brocade goose feather cushions and spread them on the tiger-headed lacquered wooden chair where he often sit, and a handful of turnip incense burned faintly in the copper furnace of Liantuo Lingzhi Nuel on the side of the seat, and the quiet fragrance seemed to linger in the foreign air, as if seeing the white petals trembling in the breeze.
After a while, I slowly lifted the curtain with a folding fan, and sang with a smile: "Qingqing Lotus Leaf Clear Water Pond, Mandarin Ducks are paired and paired." "I learned this piece in my idleness, and it cleverly blends some elements of modern pop music into the classical charm.
Zai Yan was startled at first, and then only got up and looked at me in a daze. "Liang Zhu" is one of the four major love stories of the Han nationality in China, since the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty, it has been circulated among the people for more than 1,700 years, it can be said to be a household name, far-reaching, and is also known as the swan song of love through the ages. From ancient times to the present, countless people have been infected by the tragic love between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, and I am no exception. Even though I am now in the world of Manchurians, the love, charm, and touching and shock conveyed in it, I believe that people who can understand it should be regardless of name and era. And Zai Xiang is also a temperamental person, I believe he must be able to feel this artistic conception precipitation.
Zai Yan really reacted quickly, smiled, walked closer, and echoed: "Brother Xian, with mandarin ducks, with mandarin ducks, it's a pity that you, Yingtai is not a woman with red makeup." ”
I pursed my lips and smiled, looked at Zai Yan gently, and asked him gently, "What does the emperor think of the slave's singing?" ”
Zai Yan smiled and said, "Very good," and then put his arm around me, "Liang Shanbo doesn't know if Zhu Yingtai is wearing red makeup, but I know that my Zhen'er is red makeup, or that kind of stunning red makeup." ”
I bowed my head and said in a low voice: "The emperor teased the minions and talked nonsense. ”
Zai Yan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "How can I talk nonsense? He raised his hand and tapped the tip of my nose again, "If you don't give me a plausible reason today, I won't let you go easily." ”
I looked up at Zai Yan and said with a smile: "Everyone knows that the emperor's draft that day was originally the two daughters of the Dexin family, the governor of Manchuria and Jiangxi Province with red flags, so naturally they can be called stunning, at this moment, how can the slaves be deserved?" ”
He lowered his eyes and looked back at me, leaning closer, and I could almost feel his warm snort gushing around my eyelashes, making my eyelids itch, and his voice was very low and deep, "If I told Zhen'er that I did it on purpose, Zhen'er could be trusted?" ”
I was shocked, stunned for a long time, and whispered: "The emperor is saying...... You deliberately chose the daughters of the Dexin family so that they couldn't choose ......" I said, frowning.
"In this way, you will inevitably be chosen." ”
I couldn't believe it: "The emperor has been ...... from the beginning" My thoughts became a little confused, I really didn't expect that the draft was a plan from beginning to end, everything was under his control, and the two daughters of the Dexin family were just two chess pieces in the hands of Zai Xiang, and I still mourned and lamented for him for so long in modern times for Zai Xiang's first love that was as fleeting as a meteor for ten thousand years. My brain was racing, and I immediately realized what the "strange place" I had overheard Ji-kyun talking about on the snowy night before entering the palace was.
If Zai Xiang really fell in love with the daughter of the Dexin family at first sight during the draft, then he would never have let go of it so quickly and empathized with me, naturally, with his temperament, if he was really emotional, it was even more impossible to be calm as if it was none of his business after learning that the daughter of the Dexin family was seriously ill. You must know that when Prince Alcohol was sick, Zai Xiang tried everything he could to visit. For Zai Xiang, if something happens to the person on the tip of his heart, he will definitely lose all his reason.
Zhijun has served the king for many years, and he knows that Zaiyan's temperament is not a problem, so he will feel strange at that time. As for why Zhijun didn't break through, I don't know very well, probably because there is a lack of aura, or a little opportunity!
Zai Yan smiled: "Actually, I saw you at first sight, so I thought of such a way to keep you, how could I not know what Lafayette meant, Yehenara clan, she is Lafayette's niece, she must be the queen's choice, and she can't hide." ”
I sighed and said: "So, the emperor has grasped the weakness of Lafayette in this matter, Lafayette must think more about his niece's future favor, once he sees that the emperor has a good impression of the daughter of the Dexin family, he will definitely not choose," thought about it, and said, "The emperor made a really good move," and then shook his head, "It's a bit of a pity." ”
