Chapter 115: The Past of the Eldest Sister
"Tell her what's going on here, and don't do anything else." Bai Yi said softly, "And I shouldn't be able to enter the palace recently......"
Before he finished speaking, the two brocade guards behind him had already stepped forward and gently smashed Bai Yi's shoulder with the hilt of their knives, probably warning him not to take the opportunity to whisper.
Bai Ling let go of his hand and took a slight step back, "Then take care." ”
"Hmm." Bai Yi nodded, "You too." ”
From the Tai Hospital to the Chengqian Palace, it is about half an hour's walk if you walk slowly, but today Bai Ling pretended to have something in his heart, and his steps were like flying, and he walked a little sweaty.
In the Chengqian Palace, people went in and out, and the concubine did not wake up in the morning, and today's bathing had just begun.
"What time is it?" Qu asked.
"It's just a little more than noon, not long." Bao Yuan replied, "Don't worry, Niangniang, the evening garden will be in the unitary time." ”
"Oh." Qu's gaze fell, "That's true...... What about Burling? ”
"I guess I'm praying for incense in the Imperial Garden today, right? I saw her go out early in the morning. ”
"It's hard for her."
Bao Yuan suddenly laughed, "Niangniang doesn't have to feel sorry for her, the slave asked in private, she said that she doesn't like places with many people, and it is comfortable to stay alone." ”
"That's a childish thing." Qu laughed.
"No," Bao Yuan said with a smile, "I asked her yesterday if she wanted to find someone to help her set up a simple tent in the place where she prayed for incense, and she didn't want it, so she urged me to quickly set up her small single room, so that she could move out of my room with Granny Shu." ”
Zheng Shu smiled and glanced at Bao Yuan, "I'm not old, but there are a lot of things." ”
"Go and call her back, it's time to come back." Qu said softly.
Bao Yuan nodded in response, walked out of the palace gate, and was about to walk in the direction of the Imperial Garden, when he saw Bai Ling's shadow coming from afar.
As soon as she beckoned, she felt that Bai Ling's expression was a little sluggish today.
"What's wrong?" When Bai Ling approached, Bao Yuan stepped forward and asked, "Who bullied you?" Why are you sweating profusely......"
"Hmm...... I'm out of the palace. ”
Bai Ling raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but his hair was already wet with sweat, so wiping it would not help.
"Out of the palace!?" Bao Yuan's whole person was shocked, "How did you get out?" ”
Bai Ling smiled, and had to take out the token given by the Queen Mother and explain again, "Sister Baoyuan is coming to me?" ”
"Yes, Niangniang thinks you should be ready too." Bao Yuan withdrew his gaze from the token, "It's just so that you're back, come with me." ”
Bai Ling followed Bao Yuan back to the house in the east side hall with a heavy heart.
The people had already prepared cold water and towels, and there were three people standing there waiting. This formation made Bai Ling slightly surprised, "Is this going to ......?" ”
"I'll freshen you up, come, sit."
Bai Ling was pressed in front of the dresser by the treasure duck, and several palace people silently began the work in their hands. First tried ordinary water to wash their faces, and then the two of them held two thin white cotton threads overlapping together, pressed against Bai Ling's cheeks, and twisted them gently.
The entangled silk threads were indebted to the hairs on his face, and Bai Ling felt like an ant gnawing on his face.
"It might hurt a little, but you can bear with it a little." Bao Yuan said on the side.
"What is this ......?"
"I'm opening up for you, silly girl, I just twisted all the fine fluff on your face, so that you can look good with makeup in a while." Bao Yuan said softly, "I took a special look last night, you have grown so big, no one has ever opened it for you, right?" ”
“…… No. Bai Ling couldn't move, he could only look at himself in the mirror, did he make a painful "hiss-" sound.
When the palace people on both sides finished opening the face for Bai Ling, Bai Ling immediately covered his face with two hands.
His cheeks were red and hot because of the pain, but then the palace man on the side handed over two delicate tips.
"Don't use your hands, if it hurts, use this ice." Bao Yuan said softly, "Don't be afraid, this red will disappear quickly, and it will fade in an hour at most." ”
Bai Ling took it as if he had met with amnesty, and put the cold bag on his face and rolled it.
"Alright, now turn towards me." Bao Yuan said softly.
Bai Ling turned his head and looked at Bao Yuan holding a gold weapon like an eyebrow knife in his hand, "Is this going to ......?" ”
"Eyebrow shaping." Bao Yuan said with a smile,
The pain of eyebrow trimming is as good as that of opening the face, and it was fine when she used the eyebrow knife at first, but after rough trimming, Bao Yuan took out a pair of silver tweezers from her small box and plucked out the miscellaneous hairs on Bai Ling's eye sockets one by one.
Bai Ling had suffered like this before, only to feel that every one of them hurt like a heart, and at first he couldn't help but make a sound, and then every time he pulled one, he couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing the end, Bao Yuan couldn't bear to start, "Does it hurt so much?" ”
"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded with tears in his eyes.
Bao Yuan gently touched Bai Ling's eyebrows and said in a low voice, "I also have to repair it every month, it hurts, but it's good to get used to it...... You are so afraid of pain, what should you do if you have a child in the future? ”
Bai Ling couldn't keep up with Bao Yuan's train of thought for a while, and hummed casually. Taking advantage of the fact that Bao Yuan's hand movement stopped at this time, she quickly rolled on her eyebrows with the ice bag.
Although he couldn't look in the mirror, Bai Ling knew that the four sides of his eyebrows should be red now.
If she knew that it would be so troublesome to go to this garden party, she shouldn't have agreed to come down last night......
Bao Yuan sighed, "At the beginning, the mother gave birth to Atuo, but it hurt after a day and a night." ”
Bai Ling shuddered at this.
"Does that scare you?" Bao Yuannunu mouthed, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, women are going to go through this experience...... Me too, what are you talking about so much. ”
As he spoke, Bao Yuan continued to bend down and trim Bai Ling's eyebrows.
"When my sister got married, I also gave her a face, Xiu's eyebrows, she was also afraid of pain like you......" Bao Yuan stared at the movements of his hands, and the speed of his speech slowed down from time to time, "After I got married, I haven't seen it again." ”
"Is Sister Bao Yuan's sister also in the capital?" Bai Ling asked in a low voice.
"No, she married Chunyin, a county under Huizhou Mansion." Bao Yuan said softly, "I can't come back once a year, I heard that I gave birth to a baby last year, and I haven't seen my nephew yet." ”
"Oh." Bai Ling nodded, "Then you can meet when you have time." ”
"What are you doing with that money~" Bao Yuan shook his head, "It's not cheap to entangle this way." ”
"......" Bai Ling glanced at Bao Yuan with some surprise.
As the palace maid beside Niangniang, and even the maid who is most trusted and loved by the concubine, Bai Ling can't imagine that Bao Yuan will care about money.
Bao Yuan laughed, "Didn't I tell you? My younger brother took the Tongsheng exam two years ago, and this year he took the Xiucai exam. ”
