Aging is very unreasonable.

Qu Shi looked at himself in the mirror, and his gaze became lifeless for a while.

She still remembers that when she was seventeen or eighteen years old, she couldn't walk smoothly because of a dance step, so she practiced day and night for several days without thinking about tea and dinner, and then one morning, she suddenly saw two fine lines under the corners of her eyes in the bronze mirror.

She was suddenly startled in her heart, and then she ate and slept honestly for half a month, and these two small lines quickly disappeared.

After the age of twenty-three or four, it was another morning, and when she woke up, she saw a shallow furrow faintly appearing at the corner of her mouth in the bronze mirror. She recuperated again, but this time the wrinkles never went away.

The family found many recipes for her, but they all had little effect, and Mrs. Qu even brought in a message, telling her not to laugh at ordinary times, so as not to deepen the traces of wrinkles.

But Qu Shi herself felt that it was nothing-although she was slowly growing up, and her face was dignified and generous, she was still alive with the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in her heart.

And when the wrinkles crept up her face for the first time so stubbornly and like an inextricable vine, she once again had the real feeling of "growing up".

After that, she looked at many people, and many things seemed to be slowly becoming different again.

Now, Qu can't remember how long it has been since he had seen himself in front of the mirror.

She looked at the inky blue bags under her eyes, the slightly sunken eye sockets, and the deep and shallow wrinkles on her neck......

Who is this?

She suddenly became unfamiliar with the person in the mirror, and seemed to be completely unrecognizable of her own face.

Zheng Shu and Bao Yuan had already run into the room one after another.

I saw the golden hairpin ornament beads rolling to the ground, and the golden silk nanmu xiangqi on the dresser turned over several heels, and was thrown to the ground with all fours facing the sky.

Several palace maids bowed their bodies, and they didn't dare to come out.

Qu Shi turned his back on his face, and his voice was cold, "Since you won't let me touch it, I don't want these gold and silver hairpins of Laoshzi, take them all...... Take it all! ”

Everyone shuddered, and no one had ever seen such a Qu clan.

The voices of the palace maids were as thin as mosquitoes and flies, and no one knew what to do except shouting a few indiscriminately "Niangniang is angry" and "Slaves and maids should die".

"What's going on?" Zheng Shu asked coldly, "What are you all doing inside?!" ”

A palace maid hurriedly raised her head, and explained in a slightly trembling voice, "It's Fang Cai...... Fang Cai Niangniang wanted to take a closer look at this step, and the slave was afraid...... Fear...... I was afraid that my mother would hurt my hand, so I didn't give it to my mother. ”

Zheng Shu suddenly understood in her heart.

Because of the sharp end of these jewelry, they have been locked in a wooden box for almost all this time, and even when they are serving Qu's grooming today, the palace maids are just as careful not to let Qu touch anything - where would they have thought that this matter would actually anger the concubine today?

"Send someone to Xianfu Palace," Qu muttered, "gone, I won't be gone......"

Before the words fell, before Zheng Shu and the two could react, a clear voice sounded outside.

"That's not possible, how can you regret what you promised?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that Concubine Ning had already walked straight in.

Zheng Shu gasped, and looked angrily at the few little eunuchs who were pretending to stop Ning Concubine not far away, but in fact they didn't even have their hands next to each other.

"Zheng Shu, don't stare at them, it was the palace itself that broke in," Concubine Ning popped out coldly, with a polite smile on her face, "If you want to punish them, if you want to establish authority, start from the palace." ”

Zheng Shu was not polite, she stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and said softly, "Where is Concubine Ning's words, she said that she would come in the evening, Concubine Ning will come over now, our Niangniang has not been arranged yet." ”

"What's the difference between coming in the evening and coming now? Come to dinner in the evening, can't I come to your palace to ask for a cup of tea now? ”

Concubine Ning smiled and was about to go inside, but when Zheng Shu was about to stop her, Qu Shi said in a low voice, "Granny Shu, let Concubine Ning in." ”

Concubine Ning looked at Zheng Shu and walked in with a smile.

"Stand down." Concubine Ning commanded, "I have something to say to Moon Shadow. ”

Zheng Shu didn't move, and the other palace people didn't dare to move, until Qu repeated Concubine Ning's instructions in a low voice, and the three maids who were still in the room came out with their heads down.

Concubine Ning suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the last palace maid, "You stay and serve, and everyone else goes out." ”

Zheng Shu still didn't move, Qu Shi looked at Zheng Shu's stubborn shadow in the bronze mirror, and said in a low voice, "Granny Shu help me go and see what is prepared in the imperial dining room for the family banquet in the evening, I want to eat...... The Youth League is up. ”

Zheng Shu lowered her head at this time and went out slowly.

The room was silent, except for a young maid looking down to pick up the jewels on the floor.

Jin Suizi's tassel swayed and made a rustling sound, and Ning Concubine turned her head, "Bring this step shake." ”

The palace maid looked at Concubine Ning in a daze, but her body froze there, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

"Bring it!" Concubine Ning suddenly said.

The palace maid shook her body and handed over the step with both hands.

Concubine Ning took the step and shook it, pinched the end of the hairpin, and gently put it in front of Qu's eyes, "Did you want this just now?" ”

Qu didn't speak, just raised his hand to pick it up.

The cold gold step shook down on the palm of his hand, and the real gold and the red corundum inlaid on it were heavy.

This is her favorite step shake, when she wore it during the day and at night, she was annoyed to see Emperor Jianxi, so she turned over a set of molds for her headdress, and made a new batch of hairpins with a unique style.

"I want you to change your tricks every day." That's what Emperor Jianxi said.

But Qu still likes this step shake, at most when he sees the emperor, he will change to something else, and then wear it to see it himself when he returns to Chengqian Palace.

Qu Shi held it gently, and the step was extremely delicate, and more than a dozen lifelike delphiniums circled the orchid, and the blow just now made it deform in several places.

With his impression, Qu gently flicked it back.

"You're not afraid." She asked without looking back.

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid I'll shake it with this step...... Die. ”

"Then die." Concubine Ning's voice was not a little flustered, she gently unwrapped Qu's bun that had just been pulled up, "You are alive, I will wait for you to accompany me to enjoy the flowers and ride horses, you are dead, every year Qingming cold food, I will not lack an offering to you." ”

Qu Shi smiled suddenly, followed by a sour nose.

Concubine Ning picked up the comb on the side and combed her hair again.

"Look at what your hair has become ...... you have withered," Concubine Ning frowned, and said with a little distress, "I see that every one of your subordinates here should be dragged out and beaten severely!" ”
