Chapter 275: Jiao'e with red makeup
Lu Xuan was helped out of the soup pool, but the set of clothes he was wearing was thrown out early in the morning.
This Gu Huan Li is really speechless enough, if people don't let others touch it, they can't even touch their clothes? That set of clothes was specially customized by someone on Lu Xuan's birthday, I don't know how much it cost her, how can you say that she threw it away?
Lu Xuan stood in place and sighed, she couldn't resist him left and right, she had no choice but to give in, and then asked the maid beside her: "You threw away my clothes, what am I wearing?" ”
As he was asking, he saw two maids not far away carrying a tall mahogany hanger towards this side.
On the hanger is a set of blue skirts, light gauze fabrics, and decorated with gems as bright as stars, which are so gorgeous and delicate that people can't take their eyes off them.
Although Lu Xuan has been showing himself as a man for so many years and rarely wears women's clothes, he is a woman in his bones after all, and he naturally has no resistance to these daughters' objects.
Seeing this gorgeous costume, Lu Xuan was unconsciously attracted by it, she reached out and stroked it gently, but she was afraid of defiling it.
"Wow, I've never seen such a beautiful Luo skirt." Lu Xuan said while wrapping around the skirt, and every angle looked intoxicating.
She didn't even forget where she was for a while, and she didn't think there was anything strange about the sudden appearance of this Luo skirt, until several maids took the Chinese clothes off the hanger and turned her back.
Some kind of soft fabric fell on Lu Xuan's smooth arm, and she just reacted to something.
"This Luo skirt is for me?" Lu Xuan asked, and her body instinctively resisted, but the maid on the side had already held her down, and she couldn't help but wear it.
Lu Xuan couldn't believe it, she knew that this must be Gu Huanli's order again, but he repeatedly told himself not to be violent, which one is this singing now?
It was not enough to be forced by the maid to wear this set of Luo skirts that "did not match" herself, and then Lu Xuanjin was pressed to the dresser to comb and put on red makeup.
Lu Xuan has always been like a man with her hair in a bun, rouge and gouache, and the like, and she has never seen it, if she is allowed to do these things herself, she is afraid that she will not be able to.
Lu Xuan was a little uncomfortable, but so many things that she couldn't adapt to were forced to finish, and she must not be able to escape this time, so she simply gave up resistance and obediently cooperated.
I don't know how many hours it took for Lu Xuan to be completely transformed into a veritable woman by these dozen people.
When she stood in front of the mirror after the transformation, even Lu Xuan herself couldn't believe that this woman who had captivated the country and the city was actually her.
But how do you want her to meet people when she dresses like this? She immediately found a place to sit down, trying to escape.
But it was not for her own admiration that she had worked so hard to dress up for so long, and before she could warm up the stool, several maids forcibly pulled her out.
Although the house is full of Gu Huanli's people, but there may be one or two traitors, Lu Xuan really didn't dare to gamble with his net worth and life, so he covered his face with wide sleeves all the way.
It's a little strange to say, today's Fierce King's Mansion is unguarded, and after coming all the way, except for himself and these dozen girls, I haven't seen anyone else.
However, this dress was still a little embarrassing, and Lu Xuan still covered his face until he saw the first person he had seen since he went out.
Although the man had his back to the door, Lu Xuan could still recognize him at a glance.
Several maids sent Lu Xuan to the room and turned to leave, and when they heard the sound of the door closing, Lu Xuan couldn't hold back his anger and rushed towards Gu Huanli: "Does Your Highness think it's funny to tease me like this?" ”
Gu Huanli turned back with Lu Xuan's voice, and the moment his eyes fell on her, he suddenly froze.
It is said that King Chang is good and the beauties in the house are like clouds, but Lu Xuan looks like she is wearing women's clothes back, I am afraid that the beauties in his house are not even one-tenth of hers.
Gu Huanli's eyes were glazed, so he let Lu Xuan stand in front of him and accuse him, but he didn't listen to half of it.
Lu Xuan asked to herself for a long time, but she couldn't get half a response, and then she reacted from the other party's gaze to her unusual outfit, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Has Your Highness seen enough?" Lu Xuan twisted a little, and his body dodged slightly, which pulled Gu Huanli's thoughts back.
only heard the other party reply lightly: "Sure enough, it's you." ”
Lu Xuan was still angry, and he was confused when he heard his inexplicable words: "What is me, what does Your Highness want?" ”
Gu Huanli raised his lips and smiled, and then turned sideways: "It's not good, this king just wants to see what you are." ”
The original appearance...... If Gu Huanli didn't say it, Lu Xuan would probably have forgotten that this was what she should have been, and no one seemed to have really treated her as a woman over the years.
After a pause, I heard Gu Huanli say again: "It's good to dress like this, let's live in the palace for the past few days." ”
Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment: "Living in the palace? Still dressed like this? ”
Gu Huanli didn't think so, and nodded at her again: "Didn't you say that you should stay and take care of this king?" Don't worry, the people in the palace who don't know your identity have been sent away by this king, and no one else will see you like this. ”
No wonder Lu Xuan didn't see anyone all the way, it turned out that Gu Huanli had been planning for a long time.
That's it, anyway, he already knew his identity early on, and it was rare to be a woman for a few days openly with his deployment, and Lu Xuan was willing to cooperate in his heart.
She nodded, and then said to Gu Huanli about business-
"By the way, I have already asked about His Majesty's brocade box of the ancestors, it is really in the Lu Mansion, and the legend that His Highness said is also true, and the person who took the brocade box from the Rong clan in the legend is my mother."
Speaking of this, Lu Xuan was still a little embarrassed, but Gu Huanli was indifferent, and it seemed that the outcome of this matter did not seem to exceed his expectations.
Gu Huanli, who learned the news, nodded at Lu Xuan: "Since this is the case, you should be more careful in the future, and don't leak the news." ”
Lu Xuan naturally understood, but there was one thing she was still a little curious about: "Doesn't Your Highness ask me where the brocade box is now and what it contains?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard Gu Huanli's resolute answer - "Those are not what this king cares about, what this king really cares about is only ......"
He didn't finish his words, but from the shape of his mouth and the hot gaze he was looking at him at the moment, Lu Xuan seemed to feel that the one he said he cared about was her.
The two looked at each other for a long time before Lu Xuan felt a trace of burning on his face, and quickly took his eyes off him.
"By the way, Lord Chen said today that there is a case in the Criminal Department that will be tried by me, which involves the Household Department, is this true?" Lu Xuan used the reason for talking about the business to dilute the embarrassing atmosphere.
Gu Huanli nodded at her at this time: "This matter is indeed arranged, and this king arranged it early in the morning." ”
Sure enough, it was all arranged by him, and Lu Xuan didn't have any objections, but he was a little confused.
"But I haven't officially joined the Criminal Department yet, is it a little inappropriate to hand over the case directly to me for trial?" Lu Xuan was a little worried.
Although her ability and experience are sufficient, the people in the officialdom are complicated, and the new official has such a big position as soon as he takes office, I am afraid that it will be confirmed in the future.
But these concerns only existed when Lu Xuan was still fighting alone, and now that she has Gu Huanli's big backer, why should she care about the discussions of those who can't be on the stage behind their backs?
After that, I saw Gu Huanli raise his lips and smile: "Lu Qing's official department is reviewing the Shengjing City case, do you still need to care about what others say?" ”
"What? Cleaners? The Qing Officials Division who investigated and handled the Shengjing case, that is...... Fengtian Qing Division? Lu Xuan's eyes widened.
Gu Huanli just smiled indifferently: "I didn't expect you to have a very thorough understanding of the imperial court system. ”
This means that she admits it, Lu Xuan can't believe it, Gu Huanli said that she was transferred back to the Criminal Department, how could she be promoted to a sixth-grade official position in an instant, which is about to catch up with Chen Weizhi.
"Your Highness blatantly helped me to be promoted to a knighthood like this, it will be discussed." Lu Xuan couldn't help but be a little worried.
Gu Huanli shook his head: "You rely on your ability to capture traitors for the imperial court and collect tribute from Chiyan every year, Your Majesty should also promote you, who dares to talk about it?" ”
Dare Gu Huanli count all the exploits she won at the risk of her life at the border? This made Lu Xuan a little ashamed for a while.
Gu Huanli knew Lu Xuan's character, and even knew that she was unwilling to accept her gift plainly, so he comforted her: "You don't have to take it to heart, this king's promotion for you is just to make you better used by this king." ”
Taking what they need in this way can best reduce people's psychological burden, Lu Xuan reluctantly accepted this reason, and then categorically expressed his determination to Gu Huan: "Your Highness, rest assured, your majesty will swear allegiance to Your Highness." ”
Lu Xuan's words were serious, Gu Huanli couldn't wait to use his life to protect her, so where was he willing to let her die?
However, seeing that Lu Xuan was willing to trust and follow him, Gu Huanli was also relieved, and then talked about the case-"Chen Weizhi is right, this case is indeed related to the household department, and not only that, but also implicates the cabinet. ”
"The Cabinet?" Lu Xuan was surprised, she hadn't heard this name for a long time, she fell here in her previous life, these two words sounded like a reminder of her past pain.
Gu Huanli then continued to explain: "The four brocade boxes left by the ancestors have appeared one after another except for the one in the hands of the Lu family, and the most recent one was originally left by the first emperor, but it did not fall into the hands of His Majesty. ”
"So His Highness said that this matter is related to the household department and the cabinet, but it is suspected that the people among them have secretly hidden the relics of the first emperor without authorization?" Lu Xuan quickly understood the meaning of Gu Huanli's words.
If this is the case, the case is indeed a bit tricky.
