Chapter 109: Backfired
Take painstaking steps to dress up. Full of joy to welcome the return of King Yan. Concubine Shu did not get the favor of King Yan.
On the contrary. King Yan sniffed his nose: "Lady Concubine. What kind of spices do you use? It doesn't make my nose feel bad."
"Lord Wang. It's the kind I usually use. I've always used this spice." Concubine Shu sniffed too. It's no different than usual.
"Oh. Use less spices in the future." King Yan frowned. He immediately thought of the unique fragrance of An An's body. The faint fragrance is mixed with a faint floral fragrance and the unique body fragrance of the girl. The fragrance is just right. It's refreshing. Make people addicted. Xu is used to smelling the unique fragrance of An An in the past few days. I felt that the spices were a little pungent.
King Yan's overreaction made Concubine Shu feel uncomfortable.
"Lord Wang. How did you just come back. The concubine has prepared your favorite dish on weekdays. I don't see you coming back. I'm going to let the people go and give you the heat." Concubine Shu asked King Yan to eat.
King Yan waved his hand: "No need. Lady Princess. This king has eaten it."
"I've eaten it." Concubine Shu stared at King Yan with a pair of apricot eyes. Before, every time he came back from a trip. It's to eat with yourself. What's going on today.
The expression of loss clearly spread across Concubine Shu's face.
"In which sister's house did you eat it?" Concubine Shu's eyes drooped. Full of vinegar.
King Yan realized that he had lost his mouth. I can't tell Concubine Shu that I ate at An'an's place. This will make Concubine Shu jealous.
"Oh. I ate some with some of my brothers in the barracks." King Yan prevaricated.
Concubine Shu heard that King Yan was eating in the barracks. And not at which side concubine to eat at. The originally lost face turned. Then he said with a smiling face: "How can you eat well in the barracks. Eat some more, sir."
King Yan glanced at Concubine Shu. For some reason, he thought of An An again.
The concubine is her own wife. It was chosen by my father at the beginning. I think her father was also an official in the court. He is also a person who has made meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty. At that time, I was still young. I don't know what love is. When the heart is excited, it is confused to get married.
I have to say that the marriage of all the princes is decided by the father and the queen mother. It's all about politics. I don't have a choice.
After marriage, Concubine Shu followed her for more than ten years. He raised a son and a daughter for himself.
King Yan treats her and her respect. It's up to her to do everything in this backyard.
Let's be honest. Although the lady is a little subordinate. Likes to be jealous. But there's nothing too much to blame.
King Yan has never had true feelings for women. Among the many wives. Some are due to politics. Some are due to beauty. In short, there is no reason to be in the pocket because of emotion.
But it's in his thirties. For the first time, I was moved by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. And it's out of control.
Seeing that Concubine Shu unconsciously compared with An An.
Although King Yan knew that Concubine Shu was no longer young. Compare her in her thirties with An An, who is a teenager. It's not human. But there is no way. King Yan couldn't help but think of An An.
The lady in front of her is wrapped in heavy makeup. Brightly dressed.
That's not the case with Anke. She has always liked to wear plain clothes. There are almost no traces of makeup visible on the face. She didn't even have a gaudy garment. Just those two red wedding dresses were made by someone myself. Urged her a few times. She just reluctantly put it on.
But even if she's dressed in red. You can also wear red clothes to the extreme.
The bright red clothes also looked out of the ordinary. It's a different taste.
How the same is a bright red dress. Wear it on different people. It has a very different taste.
Concubine An put on an otherworldly fairy and went down to earth. And the same concubine wears it, but how to look at how it twists. It's like a Hongchen woman dressed up to recruit guests.
King Yan thought of this. I couldn't help but frown.
"Lady. Who made you wear such a gaudy garment? You are the concubine of this king. Be mindful of what you dress. Don't wear such vulgar clothes. Wear such an inappropriate makeup."
King Yan's words made Concubine Shu want to have a crack in the ground to get into.
It's a shame. I originally wanted to dress up more conspicuously. to please the king of Yan. Not wanting to be is counterproductive. Aroused the disgust of the Yan King.
Concubine Shu is really repentant.
"Yes. That is what the prince taught. The concubines should be kept in mind." Concubine Shufei hung her head. It's embarrassing.
King Yan couldn't hold it on her face when she saw it. I feel like I'm talking a little too much.
Then he said to the concubine, "Are you waiting for this king to come back? I haven't eaten yet. Hurry up and eat some."
"Lord Wang. What about you?" Concubine Shu is still a little unwilling. I want King Yan to taste the meal she has prepared carefully.
King Yan was a little impatient: "This king is really not hungry anymore. Somewhat tired. Steward Qin. You ask your subordinates to boil some bath water. This king wants to wash. Let's rest first."
"Yes." Steward Qin hurriedly sent his subordinates to prepare bath water.
This Yan King doesn't know. Concubine Shu will never have an appetite. Looking at a table of food that was as cold as my heart. Concubine Shu has unspeakable discomfort.
In the past, King Yan had never judged his makeup and clothing.
Today he is judging like this, and he is beginning to notice how he is dressed. I still dislike my old looks. King Yan went back to the bedroom. The concubine sat at the dinner table. Touching his cheek with his hand.
She soon realized that the reason why Yan Wang was judging herself like this today was the latter. It's disgusting with myself.
Go back more than ten years.
I remember when I was sixteen years old. Married to King Yan.
At that time, the king of Yan was not yet the king of Yan. He has not yet been crowned king. I didn't move to this Beiping city.
First time I saw King Yan. Concubine Shu was glad that she had found such a favorite Lang Jun. He won the emperor's appreciation. Courageous and resourceful. Concubine Shu felt that it was not wrong to follow him at that time.
He fought all the way. The emperor appreciates it more and more. Later, he sealed this Yan King. Admire the city. Appreciate the good fields. Let them be stationed in this city of Peiping.
I have been coming to this Beiping City for more than ten years.
She is his concubine. She is the mistress of this Yan Wang's mansion.
Although King Yan has married a lot of wives one after another. But there has never been a woman who can threaten her position in the Yan Palace. King Yan respects himself. Respect yourself as a guest.
He had never been so bored with himself as he was today. Oh, yes. It's boredom.
Concubine Shu thought of the surprised look on his face when King Yan looked at him just now. That's right. That look is clearly mixed with boredom.
In an instant. Concubine Shu's heart couldn't help but twitch.
All my preparations today have backfired.
King Yan didn't even have the interest to talk to himself? Hurriedly hid back in the bedroom.
Shufei suddenly thought. The new Concubine An.
That day. She held a handful of mutilated yellow flowers in her hand.
Isn't he already like a flower. It became yesterday's yellow flower.
Concubine Shu smiled self-deprecatingly.
The flowers in Concubine An's hands were actually picked by King Yan himself. How could he have had such a leisurely and elegant feeling?
It's the first time I entered the palace. King Yan was only eight years old at one time. I didn't see him having the same idleness as he does now.
Polygala. AN Fei.
Concubine Shu had to get in touch with a lot.
She thought of Concubine An's touching face that was still beautiful without powder. She thought again about the fine lines in the corners of her eyes. Do you have to rely on heavy fat powder to hide the traces on your face now?
It's good to be young.
Concubine Shu suddenly wanted to cry.
King Yan's attitude towards her tonight made her suddenly understand a lot. I also suddenly realized that my position was beginning to be in jeopardy.
It seems that the princess's position is not so stable. It's so easy to sit on.
Since ancient times, only newcomers laugh. How can you hear the old man crying?
I'm already an old man.
Concubine Shu just let her thoughts wander. Drifting away.
Until the next person brought the bath water and a large bathtub to King Yan. Concubine Shu just woke up from her depression.
"Oh. That's right. Pack up the food on the table." Concubine Shu instructed her subordinates.
Then she slowly paced into the bedroom. Zhang Luo arranged for Yan Wang to take a bath.
King Yan is recuperating in a rocking chair. I didn't notice the lady coming in.
Xu is tired.
Concubine Shu asked her subordinates to prepare the bathtub. Then he walked up to King Yan. Softly called: "Lord Wang. Bath water ready. Let the concubines take your bath."
King Yan slowly opened his eyes.
"Oh. I was a little tired just now. I took a nap."
Concubine Shu waited for King Yan into the bathtub.
His figure hasn't changed at all. It's still as robust as that.
Concubine Shu took a towel and carefully scrubbed King Yan.
King Yan kept his eyes slightly closed from beginning to end. I never said a word to the concubine. I didn't look at the lady either.
Concubine Shu is really tired from thinking that she is the king of Yan.
Wait for him to finish washing. The king of Yan put on his clothes. I went straight to the bed and rested.
Concubine Shu was stunned.
Pack everything up.
Concubine Shu heard King Yan's even snoring.
He's already asleep.
Concubine Shu didn't feel sleepy. She walked over to the bronze mirror.
Hold the half-cut candle in front of the bronze mirror. In the candlelight, she carefully measured her face.
Maybe it's the smudge of the bath water. I've spent all my makeup.
Fortunately, King Yan never opened his eyes from beginning to end. If only he had seen this dignity. He must have gotten more disgusted.
Concubine Shu wiped off the makeup that had been spent.
But she found that the more she wiped the person in the mirror, the more hateful she became.
Is this still her.
Concubine Shu was amazed. When did you become like this.
Concubine Shu really wants to knock the mirror over.
She wiped all the piles of grease powder on the dresser on the floor.
It's loud. She suddenly realized that the prince had fallen asleep. Woke him up. See her like this. What will happen.
She glanced back at King Yan in surprise. He rolled over and fell asleep again. I didn't notice the noise at all.
Concubine Shu couldn't help but fall down on the dresser. I can't hold it back anymore. Tears burst the embankment.
