Chapter 144: Preparation for the Palace Banquet
Gu Shiqing couldn't cry or laugh, and said with his forehead raised: "Ah Xian, in this way, you can't enter the palace, it will cause trouble for Mingzhu." ”
Zhong Taoxian patted her chest: "Shizi, I'm fine, I will protect Mingzhu." I~"
Before she finished speaking, Zhong Taoxian bent down holding her stomach, her face wrinkled in pain. Frightened, Gu Shiqing panicked and asked urgently: "Ah Xian, what's wrong?" ”
Zhong Taoxian bared her teeth, and waited for her stomach to calm down before she let out a long breath and said sadly: "Shizi, I'm afraid this is a naughty mischievous person, and it's too hard to kick people." ”
Gu Shiqing gently wiped his sweat for his wife and said with a smile: "When he comes out, I will help you beat him." ”
Gu Fanghua and Zhong Taojiao covered their mouths and snickered beside them, the wise and fierce smiling tiger brother in the court also looked like such an idiot, which was really unbearable.
Zhong Taojiao saw that the eldest sister was indeed a little difficult to move, and proposed: "Or, Ming'er, I'll accompany the eldest sister here?" ”
Gu Shiqing said a little guiltily: "I was supposed to accompany Ah Xian at home, I'm sorry, tomorrow the envoys will enter the palace to congratulate, I really can't leave." ”
Zhong Taoxian slapped Zhong Taojiao's hand, and said angrily: "I haven't reached the time when I want someone to guard me, so I want you to talk more." Shizi, don't worry, I'm obediently at home and won't go anywhere. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhong Taojiao again, and snorted: "Ming'er Mingzhu will be handed over to you, if anyone dares to provoke, slap her to death." ”
"Howler! Rest assured, eldest sister, with the long whip in hand, I am not afraid of anyone coming! ”
Zhong Taojiao grinned, completely unaware that she had been remembered by Queen Jiang and would cause a storm.
Seeing that her sister-in-law would not enter the palace, Gu Fanghua finally put her mind at ease, pulled the knife next to her, and told her carefully.
"Xiaodao, you remember, when I asked for a sign a few days ago, the monk said it. The double-body people around me have a difficulty, you take good care of your sister-in-law tomorrow, and you will not leave that kind of thing. ”
Xiaodao knew the severity, nodded and said, "The slave knows, Ming'er closed the Aoki Courtyard, and it doesn't matter if the sky falls." ”
Gu Fanghua put her mind at ease, as long as her sister-in-law couldn't leave Aoki Courtyard, she didn't believe that she couldn't protect her little nephew. Ye Shuang's life can be changed, not to mention the little nephew.
Early the next morning, Gu Fanghua entered the palace with her aunt and Jiaojiao.
As soon as she entered Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Zhong poked her finger at the top of Gu Fanghua's head, pretending to be angry and said, "You girl, do you still know how to come back?" When you go out of the palace, there are no people. ”
Gu Fanghua replied cutely: "Grandmother, I'm here to pass on the will for you, aren't you worried about Sister Xian?" ”
While speaking, Gu Fanghua made a look at the Empress Dowager Zhong.
Only then did Empress Dowager Zhong find out that the girl had not entered the palace today. Mrs. Gu, who was sitting below, said gratefully: "Xian'er has been eight months, and her pregnancy is not good, thank you for the Queen Mother's compassion." ”
"If you don't have a good look, you should stay at home, there are many people in the palace today, and it will be troublesome if you collide."
Empress Dowager Zhong said in passing, then glared at Gu Fanghua, and scolded with a smile: "You still haven't gone back to the palace to change your clothes?" There are princesses from several countries here today, don't lose your face in mourning. ”
Gu Fanghua grabbed Empress Dowager Zhong's hand and said obediently: "Grandmother, don't worry, I will definitely pick up my life today and ensure that the crown is beautiful!" ”
Empress Dowager Zhong couldn't help laughing, twisted Gu Fanghua's face, and then drove her back to the palace to freshen up.
Zhong Taojiao looked at Gu Fanghua's makeup and wanted to go to the Imperial Garden, but Gu Fanghua couldn't get out, so she had to let Zimei accompany her, lest she didn't know the way.
Gu Fanghua's hair bun that he had only combed in the morning was all dismantled and combed again.
Mama Cen took action in person, first mixed the lotus dew water collected in the morning with sesame oil for Gu Fanghua to carefully distribute it. When it is half dry, it begins to be full of green silk.
Today is a grand occasion, so naturally it can't be casual, and the identity of the county lord is different, so Mama Cen rarely combed a high bun for Gu Fanghua.
Because Gu Fanghua was still young and couldn't hold back her head full of pearls, Mama Cen didn't comb the peacock's bun. Instead, the black hair is divided into two strands and wrapped around a wig to make a prettier double phoenix bun.
Then he took out a set of red gold hinge heads that had only been made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and carefully inserted them into the bun.
The gold thread is drawn into the thickness of the hair, and then the thin hinge is twisted, carefully made into a ruyi or peony pattern, and the hair bun is just right. It is magnificent, noble and elegant, and does not have the bulky feeling of ordinary gold jewelry.
Gu Fanghua is very satisfied, the best thing about this head is that it is light, although it is red gold, but the weight is not heavy.
Mama Cen looked at it, Gu Fanghua's gold ornaments and black hair were extraordinary, but she always felt that something was missing. Looking left and right, Danzhu reminded: "Mama, isn't it easier to make the forehead of the county lord like this?" Do you want to add a flower day? ”
This made Mama Cen pause, and hurriedly said: "Mo Lan, last time the Queen Mother rewarded a set of crystal heads, it seems that there are still a few eyebrow pendants, take a look!" ”
Mo Lan answered the call and quickly brought five small boxes over.
Open side by side on the dresser, everyone sees. Among them, there are four gold chain eyebrow pendants and one pearl eyebrow pendant.
The pearl's eyebrow pendant does not match today's bun and is not considered. Mama Cen swayed between a plum blossom ruby eyebrow pendant and a drop-shaped jade eyebrow pendant.
They tried it and found that the jade eyebrow pendant with the double phoenix bun was particularly good-looking, and finally settled on the water drop jade eyebrow pendant.
Danzhu was fast, and turned out a box of jade earrings for Mama Cen to choose.
Try and try, and finally put on a pair of tasseled jade gourd ears, and by the way, I put on a jade concentric buckle necklace.
Gu Fanghua sat obediently, let the danzhu and them apply egg whites to their faces, and then smeared them with homemade peach blossom dew. Lightly drawing eyebrows, slightly adding a few strokes to the tail of the eyes, the originally big apricot eyes, instantly added a bit of dignity and majesty.
Rouge is a must, in case of sweating, wouldn't it be a shame. Simply use a hosta stick, pick a pink lipstick the size of a mung bean, and spread it evenly on both cheeks. Suddenly, the cheeks were full of light, if there was nothing, it was very appropriate.
Then smeared with peach-colored lipstick, it looks even more red lips and white teeth, and the face is full of peach blossoms, which is very delicate and lovely.
Mama Cen looked left and right, and was finally satisfied, so she asked Lu Ju to bring it to the Shangyi Bureau, and the improved county master uniform that was made yesterday was rushed.
"Mama, where did you get this garment?"
Gu Fanghua was a little surprised by the regulation of the county lord's uniform, it seemed that there was no such style before, it was too gorgeous.
Mama Cen smiled: "The county lord doesn't care, of course the queen mother ordered the Shangyi Bureau to do it." In the past, there were two county lords, but now the county lords are unique and naturally different. ”
Gu Fanghua understood, Changle was also the county lord in the past, and the queen mother's grandmother didn't care about the rules that the county lord should have.
Now that she is alone, she can toss hard.
"Mama, let's wear it again at the palace banquet, you can bring a regular dress, I'm afraid that it will be dirty if you don't have long eyes."
Mama Cen winked her eyes playfully and said with a smile: "These clothes are four different sets, and the county lord can change them casually." ”
