Chapter 285: Xiaozhuang's Birthday Banquet 4
"You ......" Concubine Yu stared at the crescent moon with a pair of phoenix eyes, but she couldn't say anything to refute.
Seeing that Concubine Yu was choked back by the crescent moon, Chang Ning couldn't help but turn her face, shrugged her shoulders and secretly laughed, and saw Su Malagu turn around and sway past the door of the back garden.
Chang Ning had an idea and shouted: "Aunt Su Ma, don't look around, they are here!" ”
Because there were many people in the warm pavilion and the room was hot, Su Malagu was worried that Xiaozhuang would be affected by the heat and sweat and hurt the wind and cold, so she wanted to go to the inner hall to find a homely shawl for Xiaozhuang, but she didn't expect to be called by Chang Ning as soon as she came out, and saw a group of people gathered in front of the door of the middle hall, so she had to come over and take a look.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were separated and surrounded, Su Mala Gu saw that her arms were kneeling on the snow, and then looked at Concubine Yu's angry face, and the crescent moon turned to the side.
As soon as she saw this scene, Aunt Su Mala guessed Chang Ning's mind for calling her seven or eight points, and said with a smile: "The ancestor has been looking for you for more than two years, and said that he asked the girl to serve the tea, it turned out to be here, but I can be easy to find!" ”
Aunt Su Mala said, gave a gift to Concubine Yu and Concubine Hui, and said softly: "Two Niangniang, although I don't know where the girl made a mistake, but at this time, the ancestor is looking for someone and is waiting, it is not good to delay for too long, and first ask her to serve, and wait for today, and then ask her to go to the Niangniang Palace to take the blame." ”
When Concubine Yu heard this, she knew that although she had caught her handle today, she couldn't do anything about it now, and she had already heard that Huai Sleeve was deeply appreciated by the Empress Dowager, and she was in Cining Palace at this time, so she had to give up.
Slanted her sleeves, Concubine Yu snorted coldly: "Today is a good day for the queen of the emperor, I didn't want to spoil everyone's interest, but I just reminded the princess that the princess is not respectful, and the palace is a small matter, I am afraid that the princess will leave others with a laughing stock, but it will not end well!" With that, he turned and walked away.
The crescent moon glared at Concubine Yu's back fiercely, and said angrily: "Take care of yourself!" This princess doesn't bother you, huh! ”
Concubine Hui instructed the palace maid beside her, "What are you minions still doing in a daze? If you don't hurry over and help the princess up, this is cold and snowy, and it's not fun to get sick after kneeling for a long time. ”
When several palace maids beside him heard this, they hurriedly went over and helped their sleeves to stand up.
Huai Sleeve still wanted to thank him, but Concubine Hui waved her hand lightly and said, "Don't be polite, go find a warm place to bake." After a few more instructions, Concubine Hui led the female eunuchs of the palace to climb on her shoulders.
The crescent moon and Su Malagu respectively held their sleeves and walked towards Su Malagu's Buddhist hall.
Chang Ning smiled and approached the crescent moon and said: "Yes, there is a benefit, and those few words can be regarded as giving your master a long face!" ”
The crescent moon said happily: "Of course, the tiger father has no dogs!" As soon as the crescent moon said this, Su Malagu and Huai Sleeve couldn't help laughing.
Chang Ning pursed his lips and said with a smile: "You are really a 'bran radish'."
The crescent moon was puzzled and asked, "What does 'bran radish' mean?" ”
Chang Ning smiled but didn't answer, and arched his hand: "You guys go, I have to go in and say hello to the old ancestor!" After saying that, he was about to turn around, but his sleeves opened his mouth and said, "Thank you for your care." ”
Chang Ning turned his face, a pair of black bean eyes blinked a few times, and the smile became two gaps, but he didn't speak, only waved his hand, and then turned around and pulled the curtain into the Dongnuan Pavilion.
"Hey, Uncle Six, you haven't told me what's going on with the bran radish!" The crescent moon saw Chang Ning enter the warm pavilion, and had no choice but to turn around and ask Huai Sleeve.
Huai Sleeve said with a smile: "The prince is saying that the princess still needs to continue to cultivate before she becomes a great weapon." ”
When Aunt Su Mala heard Huai Sleeve explain this, she couldn't help but smile and nodded, "You still know how to explain." ”
When a few people were talking and laughing, they happened to meet Qin Concubine and Guan Zhaoyu who also celebrated their birthdays and withdrew from the warm pavilion.
Qin Concubine said: "Find a place first, I'll put on a few of you to put on makeup, and when I saw that the people inside were scattered for a while, it was time for the emperor to retire from the dynasty, and Bacheng was about to enter the play." ”
Aunt Su Mala also nodded and said, "Concubine Qin is right, it was mostly like this in previous years, just go to my place, get closer." With that, she led the group into the Buddhist hall where she usually lived.
Su Malagu never wears makeup on weekdays, so although there are a few kinds of rouge gouache, but they are only the simplest, fortunately, the crescent moon and Guan Zhaoyu live in this palace, so they each found a pair of makeup tools, gathered together, and piled up a full table.
Qin Concubine is a woman who grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, almost grew up listening to Huangmei Opera, Kunqu Opera, and Yue Opera, and is very familiar with the appearance of those little students on the stage and Tsing Yi.
Aunt Su Mala smiled and said, "A few of you are here to prepare first, I will go to the front to help you watch, and when the people are dispersed, I will come to look for you when the banquet is about to start." With that, she turned around and left, leaving two maids in the palace and a eunuch for her to send.
Liu Mengmei, who is dressed as a crescent moon, is a small student, and her makeup is very simple, just dress up as a scholar; The maid played by Guan Zhaoyu is also simple.
Only Du Liniang, who is decorated by Huai Sleeve, is also particularly valued because she is the protagonist, sings the most lyrics, and is the finale.
The crescent moon smiled and looked at the sleeve in the mirror and said, "This time, Sister Lan dressed up the master with her own hands, it must be even more beautiful than the last tea banquet!" ”
Guan Zhaoyu carefully selected the hairpin ring jewelry, and smiled when he heard the words of the crescent moon: "It must be yes, Sister Huai is originally beautiful, and then she is dressed up by the delicate hands of the concubine, she will be shocked." ”
Qin Concubine heard the two of her words and I said a word, and couldn't help laughing: "It's all what you said, I have to use one hundred and twenty percent of my strength today, otherwise the beauty embryo that was originally born by others will not look good for a while, and it will all be mine!" ”
Huai Sleeve smiled: "Xilan also likes to laugh, you don't care about the two of her, just do it according to your own ideas, we are helping her two birthday gifts, how can they pick our part." Several people laughed at this.
For a while, he finished dressing up his sleeves and took a picture in the mirror, although he had never worn heavy makeup, but at this time, looking at his face in the mirror, he couldn't help but sigh at the skill of the concubine.
Everyone was dressed up and just waiting for Aunt Su Mala's letter.
At this time, Huai Sleeve suddenly remembered and hurriedly said, "Fuquan hasn't put on makeup yet!" And he haste and called for him.
Fu Quan only played a little flower lang, in order to please him, the concubine put on a harlequin makeup for him, and applied a thick layer of powder on his face, and then used a brush dipped in fine white pulp to draw a clear circle in the middle of the eyebrows, and the two eyes were painted with an eyebrow pencil around the diamond-shaped pattern, Fu Quan found a washed robe, tied a wide cloth belt around the waist, and made a circle to everyone.
At this time, Aunt Su Mala pushed the door in, and when she saw a few people at first glance, she was stunned and said with a smile: "Ouch, the diligent concubine is so skillful, and after a while, it has all changed." ”
