Chapter 61: The Peony Golden Hairpin
Chu Luoyi followed Zhao Meiren all the way back to the West Hall Hall, where there were three masters, the main seat was Ning Concubine, and the other two were Zhao Mei and Fu Meiren.
Now the three masters of the Xitang Hall are not favored, but the emperor occasionally goes to Ning Concubine to take a look, Ning Concubine is spicy, and her status is more than a little higher than the two beauties, plus there are some scheming, Zhao Meiren and Fumei are pressed to death.
Chu Luoyi looked at the fat powder on the table, made Zhao Meiren clean her face, and began to carefully groom her.
Chu Luoyi took a thin pen and stared at Zhao Meiren's face carefully outlined, not long after, a blooming peony bloomed on Zhao Meiren's side face, orange-pink rouge mixed with cinnabar, in the woman's pen it seemed to be alive, a piece of petals with a charming state, as if the wind blows, it will swing with the wind, the slender stamens are traced with gold powder, looking from a distance, the whole person is flashing with a bright brilliance.
Zhao Meiren looked at herself in the bronze mirror with some distraction, Chu Luoyi chose a red lipstick for her, her red lips were slightly dotted, and her hair was gently twisted.
The golden hairpin was put in the most conspicuous place on the bun, and there was no decoration on the side.
Zhao Meiren looked at the only golden hairpin on her black hair and frowned: "Won't it be too simple, are you sure Your Majesty will be attracted to me?" ”
"If the mother is beautiful, she doesn't need too much decoration." Chu Luoyi hung his head.
A smug smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Meiren's mouth, but when she looked up, she saw that Chu Luoyi's hair bun was only two plain hairpins, and she was in a good mood for a while.
Looking at her face comparable to the national color, she was displeased, and said coldly: "I don't know if you're talking about the palace or yourself?" ”
"The mother is too worried, the palace maid has her own wearing standards for the palace maid, it's not that the slave maid is unwilling, it's just that she can't violate the palace rules." Chu Luoyi said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, forgive me and don't dare, don't come out when you meet Your Majesty in this palace today! If you let me know that you have something else in mind, don't blame me for being unkind to you! Zhao Meiren was uneasy, and even began to wonder if she wanted to help herself through herself, meet the emperor, and take the opportunity to be favored by the emperor.
"The slave understands."
Seeing that she had been at peace, Zhao Meiren took out a bag of broken silver from the box and threw it at her feet: "These are even your rewards, as long as you do things well for this palace, the benefits will not be lost to you in the future." ”
Chu Luoyi looked at the silver bag at his feet and didn't make a sound, but he didn't want Zhao Meiren to snort coldly: "What? Why don't you take the silver and get out of here? Isn't that enough? ”
"The slave and maid are gone." Chu Luoyi picked up the silver bag on the ground and was not angry.
Out of the West Hall Hall, she put away the silver in her hand, a sneer flashed in her eyes, in her opinion, it was a miracle that Zhao Meiren could survive until now.
In the evening, the people sent by Wang Zhi delivered the news.
"Miss Luoyi, the emperor has gone to the Xitang Hall tonight." The little eunuch said softly.
"Go back and thank the factory for your hard work, and my father-in-law took these broken silver to buy tea to eat." Chu Luoyi gave the silver rewarded by Zhao Meiren in the day to the little father-in-law in front of him.
"The minions didn't do much... How good is this..."
"Father-in-law Liu is already working hard, and he has to delay for this little thing, Luo Yi is not happy, just take it as a little heart, and his father-in-law should not refuse."
Gonggong Liu accepted the money very happily, and said in a low voice: "If the girl wants to find out anything in the future, just look for me, and I will do it for the girl." ”
After Chu Luoyi thanked him, Gonggong Liu left in the night.
There was a creak, and the sound of branches being trampled off sounded.
Chu Luoyi looked back at a big tree, and saw a delicate fish staring at her with big eyes, stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I just happened..."
Chu Luoyi didn't listen to her explanation, turned around and left, but Yu'er caught up and said, "Who was that just now?" How do you have so much silver... Where did you use to be on an errand? ”
Early the next morning, the sky was bright, and Chu Luoyi got up.
The fish who lived on the side opened his eyes and looked at Chu Luoyi's back with some curiosity.
"Yu'er, she's gone again, every day is mysterious, and she doesn't know what she's doing? Relying on his beautiful face, he does all the shitty things.." The palace maids on the side looked at Chu Luoyi's back together, and said with Yu'er.
The fish didn't speak, but lay back down, staring at the roof, not knowing what to think.
When Chu Luoyi came to the West Hall Hall, the West Hall Hall was still quiet, and the entire palace was shrouded in darkness, with a few flickering candles fluttering in the wind.
Chu Luoyi clasped his hands in his arms, leaned against a tree trunk not far away, and listened carefully to the movements of the West Hall Hall.
The sky was bright, and the minions of the West Hall all got up, and one by one the figures shuttled among them, and began to get busy.
The eunuch who was keeping vigil looked up at the sky and whispered in front of Zhao Meiren's door: "Your Majesty.. It's time to go to court.."
After the eunuch waited quietly for a while, there was still no movement in the room, and then he spoke again: "Your Majesty... It's already dawn.."
"Hmm... Got it.." Emperor Beiyan heard an impatient voice, and after a while, the sound of getting up came.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is waiting for you to change your clothes."
"Hmm... Okay."
"Your Majesty, don't forget your concubine, you haven't come to see your concubine for a long time.."
Emperor Beiyan opened his confused eyes, looked at the delicate woman in front of him, pinched her chest and said, "How could I forget you, my little heart..."
It didn't take long for the eunuchs and palace maids to rush in, waiting for Emperor Beiyan to wash and dress.
After the sky was bright, Emperor Beiyan stepped on the sedan chair and walked away without looking back.
Zhao Meiren leaned against the edge of the door, her eyes full of smugness.
Chu Luoyi saw that Emperor Beiyan had completely left, so he also walked out.
Zhao Meiren saw her and said arrogantly: "You are here?" This time you have done a great job... In the future, you will stay with this palace.."
"The slave obeys."
"But when Your Majesty comes, you'd better not show up, otherwise I won't let you go!"
A touch of ruthlessness flashed in Zhao Meiren's eyes.
"Yo, my sister is so majestic, even my sister is not as good as me."
Chu Luoyi looked along the curled skirt and knew that the person who came was Ning Concubine, a light blue long skirt was extremely beautiful, like the first lotus in summer, wearing two jade hairpins carved from jasper, clear and compelling.
"Thank you sister for the praise, if my sister hadn't given this opportunity to my sister last night, where would my sister have this blessing, last night, Your Majesty agreed to promote me to Zhaoyi, this is all my sister's blessing" Zhao Meiren proudly raised her hand and stabilized the dazzling golden hairpin.
'Smack! With a bang, a slap fell on Zhao Meiren's face.
After a slap, Concubine Ning raised her hand and pulled off the peony hairpin on Zhao Meiren's head, messing up her hair, and said angrily: "You still know that this opportunity was given to you by this palace!" If it weren't for this pearl hairpin, do you think His Majesty would look at you more? ”
It turned out that everything was like the news that Chu Luoyi had discovered, and the emperor really came to the Xitang Hall at night, originally to pamper Concubine Ning, but Zhao Meiren painted exquisite makeup and came from the darkness.
The soul-hooking peony makeup suddenly took away the soul of the Northern Yan Emperor, and the black hair was coiled into a complex bun, reflecting the smooth black luster, and in that lush hair, there was only a peony surrounded by bright pearls, which was golden and blooming there.
Emperor Beiyan even gave up Ning Concubine, who wanted to wear it, and walked like her and said: "Sure enough, people are better than flowers, this peony makeup is good, this peony hairpin is good, and the flower beauty is more beautiful..."
"Thank you Your Majesty for the compliment, the concubine has been missing Your Majesty these days... Now that I finally see it, it's a matter of my heart, and I can go back. ”
Where was the emperor willing to let her go, such a gesture of wanting to refuse and welcome made the emperor even more moved, so he naturally gave up Ning Concubine and followed Zhao Meiren.
When Emperor Beiyan saw her with peony flowers on her face, he habitually thought that the hairpin on her head was also a peony hairpin, and Concubine Ning on the side was in anger, and she never doubted Emperor Beiyan's words.
After Concubine Ning went back, she didn't dare to have a seizure, for fear of startling the emperor, and this breath was held back until the emperor left this morning.
Zhao Meiren covered her cheeks, glared at Concubine Ning and said, "You...!" You! ”
"Bold, when I saw Concubine Ning, I didn't even ask An to salute!" The palace maid beside Concubine Ning reprimanded.
Concubine Ning looked at the hairpin in her hand and said: "Bai Zhi, shut up, I have a deep sisterhood with my sister, isn't it out of sight to pay attention to these false etiquette, what does my sister think?" ”
"Yes.." Zhao Meiren unwillingly squeezed a word out of her mouth.
Because of Concubine Ning's tug, her hair fell down a lot, her cheeks were red and swollen, and there was no bead hairpin on her bun, and the whole person looked very embarrassed.
"Since the sisterhood is deep, my sister must not mind giving this golden hairpin to my sister." Concubine Ning took Zhao Meiren's hand and said.
Zhao Meiren's face was unhappy and she wanted to refuse, but Concubine Ning accidentally pricked the pearl hairpin in her hand very carefully.
"Ahh You.." Zhao Meiren withdrew her hand in pain.
"I know that my sister will definitely not be reluctant, since this is the case, my sister took my sister's heart, sister, you have just been favored by the emperor, or take a lot of rest, maybe when Your Majesty will remember to entitle you as Zhaoyi." Ning Concubine sarcastically turned around and left, and the peony golden hairpin was taken away by her.
Zhao Meiren's hand was a slap in the face, and she slapped Chu Luoyi in the face!
"It's all your idea, this slut dares to hit me!" The tea set on the table was instantly overturned to the ground, and it was a mess.
Chu Luoyi's expression remained unchanged, he only felt a hot pain in his cheeks, and said in a deep voice: "Niangniang doesn't have to worry, when the queen mother is about to give birth, that is, Ning Concubine's death, as soon as Ning Concubine dies, the Xitang Hall will be in Niangniang's bag." ”
Zhao Meiren thought about it, and then her anger subsided a little, and she covered her cheek with one hand and said, "Why don't you come over and give me medicine!" ”
Chu Luoyi helped Zhao Meiren to take good medicine and clean up the house, and Zhao Meiren began to embroider a hundred peony pictures for Concubine Rou according to what Chu Luoyi said.
Chu Luoyi's eyes darkened a little after leaving the Xitang Palace, dealing with smart people often has life worries, but being in the company of stupidity is a rare pain of flesh and skin, this slap really made her unforgettable.
"Miss Luoyi, His Royal Highness the Ninth has summoned you over." An aunt dressed in a light-colored palace dress came in style.
"And tell him that I have something to do today, and that I will go to him in two days."
My aunt frowned: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, the master is summoned, and the slave has to pass if there is anything." ”
Chu Luoyi sighed and said, "Let my aunt be embarrassed, and the slave will go over with my aunt." ”
