Chapter 39: Passing the Time
Updated: 2013-05-03
Wan Qiliang didn't know how he fell asleep, and when he woke up again, it was the middle of the night, and everyone in the house had slept, and the surroundings were so quiet that it was suffocating. She draped a dress at will, and the night was cold, so that she would not be unable to get along with herself.
Wan Qisheng pretended to be crazy and stupid to plot a big plan, once she succeeded, the consequences were definitely not what she was happy to see, but why did she care so much about this matter, for the sake of Huangfu Yuexun? That's impossible. Huangfu Yuexun has never been the type she admires, self-righteous and self-inflicted, I'm afraid that Li Wanwan doesn't love him as much as she used to be.
How, exactly? In order to avoid possible living misery and let himself have a quiet habitat, Wan Qiliang thought about it until dawn......
Huangfu Zhuotian's birthday is finally coming, early in the morning, you can faintly hear the sound of gongs and drums outside, firecrackers, presumably the street that has been deserted for too many days is finally lively.
But Wan Qiliang's state was not so good, her eyes were bloodshot, and her face was a little pale, and Huangfu Yuexun thought she was sick when he first saw her like this.
"How did you end up like this?" Huangfu Yuexun is going to take Wan Qiliang into the palace together, although the birthday banquet only starts in the evening, but these royal relatives and relatives have to return to the palace early in the morning to help Zhang Luo with some matters, especially this time Emperor Yun and King Li are here, Huangfu Zhuotian alone must not be able to greet him, yesterday was just a dinner full of verbal wars, and today must not be stopped.
The dog couldn't spit out ivory from his mouth, and Wan Qiliang didn't bother to raise his eyes to look at him, but he really couldn't go out to meet people like this, so he replied indiscriminately, "I didn't sleep well yesterday." ”
"Come on, come in and put makeup on the princess." Huangfu Yuexun didn't want to take a female ghost out, no matter how he said it, it was all about his face.
Xiao Yi and Xiao Er had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and when they heard the call of Huangfu Yuexun, they hurriedly came in with toiletries, ready to make a big slash on Wan Qiliang's face.
Wan Qiliang, who hadn't slept all night, didn't have the strength to stop Xiao Yi Xiaoer from wreaking havoc on her face, and the rouge gouache was pasted, making her feel that even pulling the corners of her mouth was a technical job, and her originally pale face turned pale, has the aesthetics of this group of people been low to this extent? But anyway, she didn't want others to recognize her.
Huangfu Yuexun stood aside, Wan Qiliang, who had put on makeup, also gave him a very strange feeling, he had never seen her put on makeup, and he was tossed by Xiao Yi and Xiao Er, no matter how he said it, it was much better than just now, but he looked completely like two people before.
Wan Qiliang stared at the person in the mirror, as if looking at a stranger again, a delicate little face instantly turned into a bewitching beauty, narrow eyeliner, dark golden eye shadow, a lifelike plum blossom under the corner of the left eye made her the most satisfied, pink blush, red and purple lip gloss, adding a touch of demony, asymmetrical earrings on both sides, the left ear is a shining ruby, the right ear is a tassel-like golden curtain, the neck is also brushed with a layer of light honey, and a butterfly necklace with a jewelry necklace, On her body is a purple bandeau dress embroidered with acacia flowers, with a small white velvet vest on the outside, which looks like a charming enchantress who travels at night.
Wan Qiliang didn't expect this effect, but there was still a greasy feeling on his face that was very uncomfortable, but at least this kind of outfit was not rude, but it was definitely eye-catching.
"Are you satisfied with that?" Wan Qiliang saw Huangfu Yuexun's appearance, and suddenly felt that he was asking a little redundant.
"The craftsmanship of these two slaves is good." Huangfu Yuexun also realized his gaffe, and I am afraid that this is the first time he has treated her as a woman.
"Not bad, indeed." The pile of things they adorned on her head made her dare not move, and indirectly transformed her into what a famous lady should be.
Huangfu Yuexun and Wan Qiliang walked to the gate of the palace together, and found that Li Wanwan was already waiting there, and she was also carefully dressed, and her abdomen was not yet visible, but it did not detract from her beauty at all.
Only then did Huangfu Yue Xun remember that in the past, he attended various banquets in the palace every year with Li Wanwan, and his father's birthday banquet was no exception, but now that he has married a concubine, he naturally can't bring a concubine to attend, but looking at Li Wanwan's appearance, he is ready, which is what he is called.
Li Wanwan's eyes couldn't help but light up when she saw Wan Qiliang today, she never thought that she would be so eye-catching when she dressed up, and even she couldn't help but want to praise her, does this prove that she will lose more and more completely?
"Wanwan, you are pregnant, why did you come out?" Huangfu Yuexun helped Li Wanwan, thinking about how to explain this matter to her.
"Knowing that today is the emperor's birthday banquet, you will definitely go to the palace very early, I know that the emperor has always disliked me, and Xun also married the princess this year, I just came out to send you and the princess."
Hearing Li Wanwan say this, Huangfu Yuexun's heart was like putting down a big stone, and he was even more distressed by Li Wanwan, they had been together for so many years, and he couldn't give her a reasonable name, I don't know if he would have the opportunity to get his father to agree to canonize her as his side concubine through this pregnancy, and it could be regarded as an explanation for her and the child in her womb.
This woman has learned to be well-behaved, Wan Qiliang has always looked at the interaction between the two of them as if she was watching a joke, Li Wanwan definitely wants to enter the palace with Huangfu Yuexun today, but looking at Wan Qiliang's appearance will definitely be more eye-catching than her, so it is better to retreat and seek the second, and it seems that she has obtained good results, at least she has more empathy in Huangfu Yuexun's heart.
"Wanwan is taking care of the baby in the house, I will definitely try to come back as soon as possible today." Huangfu Yue Xun stroked Li Wanwan's long hair and showed affection in front of Wan Qiliang, is this bullying her alone?
"I'll wait for you, Xun."
"Okay, be careful when you go back to the room, and let Mo Chun support you well." Huangfu Yuexun repeatedly instructed that he was afraid that something would happen to this hard-won child, and if it was really that time, Wan Qiliang would wonder if he could do anything.
A month has almost passed, but Wan Qiliang has not seen Qin Jiatian, but she also thought in her heart that if there is anything wrong with today's birthday banquet, she will definitely take the opportunity to escape, and she doesn't want to stare at Princess Lie's hat anymore and continue to live, even if she can't officially lift this identity now, she will still leave here.
The second time he came to the palace, Wan Qiliang still didn't feel anything special like last time, as Huangfu Yuexun first went to Qianyun Palace and Ciyun Hall to ask for peace, and then there was nothing to do with her, Huangfu Yuexun left her alone in the palace where he used to live, who knows what he was going to do.
"Third sister-in-law, are you there?" Wan Qiliang was sitting in the room reading a book, when she heard the sound of the emperor's blessing outside, she hadn't seen that guy for a long time.
"I'm here, come in."
"Wow, third sister-in-law, you are so beautiful today." Huangfu Yueli was indeed amazed when he entered the door and saw Wan Qiliang, he had seen Wan Qiliang without makeup before, but he didn't expect the contrast to be so big.
Wan Qiliang has been accustomed to this kind of look of Huangfu Yueli, because many people have seen her with this expression along the way, which makes her feel that makeup is really a magical thing, and she also vaguely heard someone say that she is the new love of the Liewang, when did Huangfu Yuexun become so popular?
"I know."
“…… The third sister-in-law is really not modest. ”
"Thanks for the compliment." Wan Qiliang decided not to be modest to the end.
"Uh...... Why didn't you see the third brother, where did he go? ”
"Your third brother is a busy man, how do I know where he went."
"Third sister-in-law, do you really not like the third brother at all?" Huangfu Yueli seems to disagree with Wan Qi's indifference to Huangfu Yuexun in a cool tone, in his opinion, since they have become husband and wife, they naturally support each other for a lifetime.
"I thought you could have seen it."
"Why don't you like the third brother?"
"He's not silver, and everyone won't like it."
Huangfu Yueli thought about it, when would he still be willing to meddle in things, but the third brother is really a very important existence to him, he doesn't believe that Li Wanwan's woman will bring happiness to the third brother, and the woman he thinks is suitable in front of him has no intention of the third brother, this is really not beautiful.
"Don't talk about this, if the third sister-in-law wants to walk around the palace, I can lead the way." Huangfu Yue Li is also boring alone, so it may be more interesting to pull one.
"It's okay, I'm about to grow hair when I stay here." Last time I met Huangfu Xuan'er and Huangfu Yueyang in the palace, I don't know who I will meet this time.
In winter, everything is withering, and the scenery in the garden is naturally not as good as before, but you can still see a few traces of green and budding snow plums, which match her makeup today.
"Yo, isn't this a courtesy?" Su Zhixin also went to the garden for a walk in the garden with nothing to do, but she didn't expect to meet her rival's son, which was really disappointing.
"I've seen the Queen Mother." Huangfu Yueli and Wan Qiliang said together.
"No courtesy. Whose girl is this, born upside down and peugeot. Su Zhixin's gaze moved to Wan Qiliang's body, searching for the school-age woman in the minister's house in his mind, as if there was no one in front of him.
"Can't the queen even recognize the third sister-in-law?" Huangfu Yueli's biological mothers, Concubine Shu and Su Zhixin, are the two most favored women around Huangfu Zhuotian, but Concubine Shu is gentle by nature, so she always makes Su Zhixin out of the limelight, and Huangfu Yueli naturally has no good impression of her.
The only person who can be made the third sister-in-law by the emperor is Princess Lie, could it be that the person in front of her is Wan Qiliang? Su Zhixin was a little incredulous, and the one she had seen before was completely like the two of them, if she knew that she was so outstanding, how could she not be cheaper than Huangfu Yuexun's little bastard.
"The concubine has seen the queen." But I don't know you even if I put on makeup, Su Zhixin is really confused.
"I didn't expect Princess Lie to be so beautiful, and I can't remember it all of a sudden." Women always have a natural jealousy in the face of women who are more beautiful than themselves, regardless of age or status.
"When people reach a certain age, their memory will inevitably decline, but at the age of the queen, there is naturally no such trouble, probably because she is dressed in person today and is not the same as before, and the queen will not be recognized."
This is clearly talking about her Alzheimer's disease, how could Su Zhixin not hear it, the forbearance on her face does not mean that she doesn't know anything, she has written down this hatred.
"Why didn't you see Xun'er? It's Yue Li who is accompanying Liang'er. "It's rare that Su Zhixin still remembers Wan Qiliang's name, but why does it always have a taste of gnashing of teeth when she says it?
"The prince is busy with official business, so he has no time to take care of the concubine, and the concubine and Yue Li have just met."
"When it comes to this time, Xun'er is also busy like Yang'er, and it is still the easiest to give courtesy."
"It's a mediocre son, and I'm ashamed that I don't have the ability to help my father."
Huangfu Yueli suddenly said this, which made Su Zhixin not know what to say, she did mean this, but she didn't expect Huangfu Yueli to admit it so happily, it looked like she was deliberately slandering him.
"Yue Li is still young, and it will be fine when he grows up. There is still something to do in this palace, so I won't accompany you to continue to walk here. ”
"Congratulations to the Queen."
At the beginning, Wan Qiliang wanted to laugh when he saw Su Zhixin, who was dressed up in a fancy way, completely 'old cucumber painted with green paint - pretending to be tender', and he didn't know how the emperor's Fu Zhuotian, who shared the bed with her, endured it, but Wan Qiliang had to admit that Su Zhixin must have been a beautiful embryo when she was young, but unfortunately now she is old and yellow, and she can only rely on useless cosmetics to keep her man.
"What a disgusting face." Huangfu Yueli obviously looks down on Su Zhixin, he really has a son and a mother, and both of them are so annoying.
"Forget it, her identity is enough to make her arrogant, so why bother about it?"
"I just can't get used to her, and I feel sick every time I see her." Huangfu Yuexun's tone and expression were very consistent, and it seemed that his dislike for Su Zhixin had indeed reached a certain level.
"Let's keep walking, maybe we can meet something more interesting."
"Let's go," the Emperor nodded, and the two of them began their boring journey to pass the time again.
