Chapter 51: Appearance is amazing
"Do you see the prince often?" Concubine Li asked Xingyao.
"Nope." She answered truthfully.
"No, you must say that you see him every day, because he comes to see you every day. But today he has a fever and a cold, and it is difficult to come out for activities, so we can only go to the garden party with the two of us. He can't go, understand? Concubine Liu spoke very slowly, and taught her word by word.
Xing Yao felt strange, why did he say this?
She looked up at Emperor Li, who was staring nervously at her without blinking.
"Understood." She replied.
In fact, she didn't understand, but she knew that this was Emperor Li Guifei talking about the rules for participating in the garden party.
Don't say anything superfluous. Don't ask anyone, don't answer anyone's questions, including the emperor when he asks you, don't answer, just smile, you know? Imperial Concubine Li continued to advise.
"Yes." She replied.
"You're wrong!" Concubine Li suddenly got angry and said sternly, "Didn't you say don't answer any questions?" Just smile and nod! And laugh without teeth! ”
She squeezed out a smile and nodded.
Imperial Concubine Li stood up, approached her, took her hand, and said in a gentle tone, "That's right, you're still quite clever." If you behave well at the garden party today, I won't lock you up again in the future, and you can move around the East Palace freely. ”
This can be regarded as a quid pro quo for her to talk to Xing Yao.
-----------------
The sun is shining, and the garden party starts in the afternoon.
Outside the gate of King Sheng's palace, sedan chairs came one after another.
The people who got off the sedan chair were all fancy people.
Those concubines and princesses wore the best clothes they usually wore up, their faces were made up with the most exquisite and careful makeup, layers of foundation were smeared with red or light rouge, and precious ornaments were inserted on their heads, which were gorgeous and moving.
The annual garden party is not so much about cherry blossom viewing as it is about beauty.
The participants saluted, chatted, discussed, and praised each other.
Suddenly, the noise dissipated, and the queen, who usually never showed up, actually came!
She was in her forties, dressed in a coloring dress without any patterns, with black trim, and only a hosta on her head.
This is very much in line with her image of believing in Buddhism, but it is also too simple, it is simply the dress of a monk.
The voice gradually became noisy again, because Emperor Li Guifei appeared gorgeously.
Everyone unanimously complained that she was wearing a dragon and phoenix pearl crown, a hundred birds and a phoenix big sleeve shirt, plus a golden silk veil, if outsiders didn't know, they thought she was the queen!
Her makeup is too thick, her white face is red, and her lower eyelids are puffy, I really don't know how she can make herself so ugly!
The next voice became very complicated, one after another, because after Emperor Li's concubine, a beautiful woman with a beautiful figure came into view.
As long as she appeared, there was silence all around, only undivided eyes.
And as soon as she left, there was an uproar of discussions, and they were speculating about her identity.
She is neither like a concubine nor a princess, and she is dressed like never before in the capital.
The other women wore wigs in their hair, and the wire was rolled in a loop and the hair towered above their heads, and they were paired with various hair accessories to show nobility.
Her hair was only parted in the middle, loosely clipped by a green jade clip into a wide and flat handful hanging down the back of her head.
Her black and shiny hair is matched with her white, delicate and three-dimensional face, and her bright and clear eyes are enough to make the country beautiful and fragrant.
The others were loose-fitting long tops with a short pleated skirt underneath, which was floor-length.
She wore a tight-fitting pink short top, a long flowing skirt, and a silk belt around her waist, which made her look more and more willow thin waist and light body.
The colors on people's bodies are bright red tones and yellow tones.
She is mainly pale pink and light blue.
Her outfit is exceptionally fresh and eye-catching, and it doesn't attract talents!
Seeing that everyone was looking at her direction with great interest, Emperor Li raised her head more and more, and did not stop all the way, but nodded arrogantly to the concubines, princesses, and princes who were bending their knees to greet her, and did not speak or appreciate the flowers, and led Xingyao straight towards the direction of the tent.
