Chapter 29: Awakening

Mama Qian saw that Hu Shishi had also calmed down, so she left her room with confidence, and then specially instructed her to go down, because Hu Shishi was going to recuperate in the room in the next few days, her three meals a day had to be prepared separately from other show girls, so she had to be light and pay attention to Hu Shishi's taboos.

"Get up." Hu Shishi watched Mama Qian leave, and then turned back to look at herself in the mirror, she was very calm when she spoke again. "I'm going to put on my face, go get it ready for me."

"Yes." Seeing that Hu Shishi's attitude had finally eased up a lot, the two palace maids hurriedly got up from the ground.

One of them hurriedly went outside to fetch water, and after going out, he carefully closed the door.

"You go and find out the makeup box I brought from outside the palace." Hu Shishi sat down in front of the dressing table and said.

Another palace maid hurriedly opened the wooden box in the room, brought Hu Shishi into the palace, and put the makeup box with other valuable jewelry and put it on the dressing table.

Hu Shishi opened the makeup box, took out the hairpin inside and looked at it one by one, and finally chose a golden phoenix hairpin with a tired silk inlaid with gemstones.

"It's inconvenient for me to go out now, you can go to Miss Zhao's place for me." Hu Shishi handed the hairpin to the palace maid and instructed her. "Say sorry to her for me, and I'll come to her to apologize when I can go out."

"Got it, the slave and maid will go over."

Cui Yu brought the parrot whose face was swollen back to Yuxiu Palace.

In the courtyard of Yuxiu Palace, Concubine Chen and Xiao Lu's mother and daughter were talking, when they suddenly saw a woman in black walking in with a palace maid in her hand.

Xiao Lu saw the woman in black, and immediately recognized her as a female flag guard as soon as she saw the clothes on her body.

"I've seen Concubine Chen, I've seen the eldest princess." Cui Yu threw the parrot brother she was holding on the ground, bowed to Concubine Chen and Xiao Lu, and said coldly. "Brother Yuxiu Palace, the palace maid, secretly watched the whereabouts of the second princess. After the second princess found out about her, she ordered me to slap her mouth and asked me to send people back to Yuxiu Palace so that the eldest princess could discipline the people around her. ”

"The second princess is young, so she can't help but deceive people too much." Brother Parrot's face was so swollen that she was brought back by Cui Yu all the way, didn't everyone in the palace see Yuxiu Palace's jokes. Concubine Chen, who has always been cowardly, couldn't hold back on her face, and said with an ugly face. "Even if the people of my Yuxiu Palace make a mistake, the second princess will come to send someone to inform me, and as the lord of the first palace, I will naturally punish the ignorant slaves and maids in the palace. The second princess is more than a substitute, I'm afraid it's not suitable. ”

"Concubine Chen, secretly watching the whereabouts of the master in the palace, although the impact can be big or small, but it is a big taboo for these slaves and maids." Cui Yu cared about Concubine Chen's feelings, and continued to say with a straight face. "She can secretly watch the second princess today, maybe in two days, she will be able to pass on what Concubine Chen and the eldest princess said behind their backs to others to know."

Cui Yu said, and looked at Xiao Lu, who had been sitting quietly next to him.

When the parrot who fell to the ground heard this, he hurriedly got up and covered his mouth and shook his head desperately.

"Alright, I got it." Concubine Chen was so angry that Cui Yu couldn't speak, and Xiao Lu spoke. "Brother Parrot is the first-class palace maid by my side, I will definitely discipline her in the future, you can go back to your life."

Wait for Cuiyu to leave Yuxiu Palace.

Concubine Chen was so angry that she burst into tears, Xiao Lu disappreciatively ordered someone to step forward and drag the parrot who was paralyzed on the ground down, and looked at the crying Concubine Chen.

"Mother, don't cry." Xiao Lu spoke disapprehantly. "If you even have to cry for this little thing, you will still have no favor in the future, and my father has never invited me to see me since I left Qingjing Xuan, and the day when my mother will cry in the future is still ahead?"

Originally, although Xiao Lu was also domineering, she was not as yin and yang as she is now.

"Lu'er, don't you look down on your mother like this?" The more Concubine Chen thought about it, the more she felt sadness, and said sadly. "Yes, yes, if it weren't for the mother's lack of ability, it wouldn't have dragged you down by now."

"Mother, I'm tired." Xiao Lu got up and said. "Let's go back and rest first."

"Hey.... Hey...."Seeing her daughter leave without looking back, Concubine Chen opened her mouth a few times and didn't say anything, sat stunned for a while, and then covered her face and cried.

At noon, everything that happened in the Imperial Garden and Mingguang Palace in the morning was also transmitted to Zhaoyang Palace.

"Queen Mother, it seems that Miss Hu is still a successful girl." Jinxiu said with a smile while serving the queen for lunch. "It's not in vain for the future that the mother gave her."

"Yes, I only thought she was impulsive and impatient, but now it's good to look at this child." The queen mother nodded after hearing what happened after Hu Shishi returned to Mingguang Palace.

"It's just that aren't the two young ladies who are waiting to be selected in the palace of the Liguo Mansion both come out? Why does Miss Hu's sister still cooperate with the eldest princess to calculate her sister-in-law? ”

"Duke and Mrs. Li Guo prefer the eldest daughter, and the younger daughter is also dissatisfied."

The age difference between the two daughters of the Liguo Mansion is small, and this time to enter the palace to be selected is just a formality. If there is no accident, the eldest daughter will be the second prince's concubine, and the second daughter has also been optimistic that the queen will only wait for the queen to marry decently, so that no one will dare to bully the second daughter in her husband's family in the future.

Speaking of which, the two of them are a little eccentric, but they also did their best to choose an excellent marriage for their second daughter. The second daughter brought out the deficiency disease from the womb, only the climate of Jiangnan can keep her healthy for a long time, so the husband and wife of Li Guogong carefully selected the young son of the governor of Jiangnan for the second daughter.

It's just that this high-minded second daughter may not be able to look at the marriage chosen for her by the Duke of Liguo and his wife, but she may have taken a fancy to the position of the second prince and concubine who originally belonged to her sister-in-law.

Today's plan is a double-edged sword, which can not only design the disfigurement of Miss Zhao Family, but also make Miss Duan lose her qualification to get the second prince and concubine.

"Splendid." The queen thought for a moment and said. "In the last few days, I don't want any more chaos in the palace, go and say hello to the head of Mingguang Palace."

"Yes, sissy."

After three days, Hu Shishi's face finally recovered.

Hu Qianqian rushed to visit as soon as possible, and when she saw Hu Shishi dressed up in the mirror, looking at her sister's arrogant and beautiful face, she secretly hated in her heart that the people under the second princess were really useless, and they couldn't ruin her face.

Hu Shishi's appearance is Xiao's mother, and she is a famous beauty in the imperial capital, because she is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Liguo and his wife, and she is very favored.

But when it was her turn to be born, her mother almost died in childbirth, so her father and mother were a little alienated from her.

My sister has been a beautiful embryo since she was a child, and they are obviously sisters from the same father and mother, but she has an ordinary appearance when she is a child, and she can only be regarded as beautiful.

At the same age when it was time to get married, her parents had a great future for her sister, but they wanted to marry her to Jiangnan.

"Fortunately, my sister's face is fine, I've been so worried that I can't eat these days." Rao hated his sister in his heart, Hu Qianqian still looked as always well-behaved in the past, sat down next to Hu Shishi, and said softly.

"Shallow." Hu Shishi looked at her face and thought about it before saying. "If you really don't want to marry Jiangnan, you can tell your father and mother directly. You're still young, so it's okay to wait a year before choosing a son-in-law. ”

"What did my sister say?" Tomorrow is when the dust settles, Hu Qianqian can't be ruthless to his sister, and his heart can only be put into water. "My father and mother chose a good son-in-law for me, and they also asked for the queen's mother to marry me, and asked for rare dignity for me in my husband's family in the future, why should I refuse?"

Hu Shishi was gloomy for a while, and her sister seemed to be like this since she was a child. Father and mother have chosen the best things in the house for her since she was a child, but my sister has always been so indifferent.

How could she have thought that her sister, who has always been gentle and well-behaved, would calculate herself together with the eldest princess.

"That's good." Hu Shishi stared at Hu Qian's eyes tightly and said. "Shallow, I can ignore this time, but this is also the last time. If you're still willing to get along with me before you and I get married, we'll still be sisters. If you're still restless, don't blame me for being rude. ”

As soon as Hu Duanshi Shifu spoke, Hu Qian's eyes suddenly changed.

"It seems that my sister is not as stupid as I thought." Now that Hu Shishi has said everything, Hu Qianqian is too lazy to continue to cover up. "Sister don't worry, sister, I'm not stupid."

Hu Qianqian knew that Hu Shishi meant to cover up the matter, and she had no intention of talking to Hu Shishi anymore, so she got up and left.

Hu Qianqian left, and the two palace maids who were sent out by Hu Shishi tentatively entered the house.

"Miss Hu, do we still want to go to Miss Zhao's house?" Hu Shishi sat in front of the dressing table with her back to the two, the two glanced at each other, and one of them asked.

"Go." Hu Shishi was in a daze in front of the mirror, and then she came back to her senses and said. "Lead me the way."

Because of the injury in the painting, she can no longer serve Sister Ying, and Sister Ying is too lazy to find Mama Qian to ask for someone, and there is only one palace maid by her side at this time.

For this reason, Hu Shishi took people into her room, and she was still sitting in the inner room embroidering.

"Miss Zhao, Miss Hu is here to see you."

"Okay, you go down and make a pot of tea." When someone informed Sister Ying to come out, Hu Shishi had already sat down outside on her own, and Sister Ying had to tell someone to hurry down and prepare some refreshments.

Because she has no acquaintances among the show girls to be selected in Mingguang Palace, and she has no intention of making friends with the living, she does not have these hospitality things in her room. But since the second princess came to talk to her frequently, people in her room came to see her one after another, but fortunately, after the second princess and the concubine Liu Huang knew, they prepared things for her to be used for hospitality.

"Don't be busy, I'll just say a few words today and leave." Hu Shishi hurriedly stopped someone, she looked at Sister Ying'er, and hesitated for a long time before she said hard. "Although I sent someone to apologize to you on the day of the incident, I was bewitched and dizzy at that time, and I did have the intention of ruining your appearance. But after all, I made a mistake, and I have to say sorry to you. ”
