Chapter 31 Chrysanthemum Appreciation

An autumn rain completely took away the heat.

The envoys of the Southern Xia Kingdom paid tribute to 20,000 longevity lanterns, which were golden and tender, and the growth was gratifying.

The queen ordered someone to plant it in the imperial garden, set a good sunny day, and invited all the concubines to enjoy it.

Although the weather in September is not as hot as in summer, everyone has already put on their autumn clothes and swam to the best of their hearts, and they can't help but bask in the sun for a while, and their bodies will be covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Today's assembly, thinking that it is in the imperial garden, it is very easy to meet the holy car, and the beauties of the palace naturally do their best, light makeup and heavy makeup, each with its own elegance, and there is a posture of competing with the flowers in the garden.

I didn't want to sweat, the makeup was spent on my face, and for a while, the plain white towel in my hand became colorful, and from time to time there were palace concubines who complained to the queen and changed their clothes.

The queen is a little older, and she is the lord of the six palaces, so naturally she doesn't need to paint her face like the young concubines, so she has been sitting firmly on the main seat in the pavilion, watching the palace concubines shuttle through the flowers like butterflies.

"I have been in the garden for so long, and I haven't seen Concubine Rong go to change her clothes, so it can be seen that she is really born beautiful, and she doesn't have to be like us, dyeing and powdering, and they all become flowers."

Because of the relationship between Mo Ying and Mo Hong, Concubine Zhuang has become closer and closer to Concubine Rong, and now she is not so shy in front of Concubine Ruan.

Seeing that Concubine Rong didn't seem to be wearing makeup today, she was still beautiful and moving, so she praised her from the bottom of her heart.

"Sister Rongfei's good color, which is comparable to us vulgar powders? Sister Zhuang and Sister Rong have a very good personal relationship, why haven't they learned more from others? ”

The sour tone, isn't it who Concubine Ruan is?

Concubine Zhuang glanced at the queen a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Concubine Rong is blessed, and the concubine is beyond her reach." ”

secretly pinched the veil, this Concubine Ruan actually alluded to her alliance with Concubine Rong in front of the queen, which was really hateful.

The queen's face was as usual, and she looked at Concubine Rong with her usual graceful smile: "Concubine Zhuang is right, they all say that time is not forgiving, but when it comes to Concubine Rong's sister, it is a beauty that is difficult to defeat over the years, and others have to envy her." ”

What woman doesn't like to hear praise from others?

Concubine Rong couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed: "Hehehe, look at Niangniang's praise, the concubines are embarrassed." ”

Su Xiaojiu stood beside her, rolling her eyes in her heart, the corners of her mouth were about to grin to the root of her ears, how could she look embarrassed?

As the queen spoke, everyone's eyes were focused on Concubine Rong.

She wore a rose-red floor-length pleated skirt today, lined with white skin like jade, tied up with an embroidered belt around her waist, showing a graceful figure, and covered with a cloud gauze wide-sleeved robe, on which was a hosta flower with silver thread hook, which rhymed with autumn.

A simple ingot bun was combed on the head, without a hairpin ring, only a pair of honey-colored southern pearls hung on the small ears, and there was no need for heavy makeup.

There is more or less envy in the eyes that surround you - the so-called beauty of the country is like Concubine Rong, right?

In her heart, she lightly supported Yun Sideburns, her beautiful eyes looked around the field, and then her right hand gestured slightly to her side, and Su Xiaojiu hurriedly presented a makeup bag specially made for her with both hands.

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the delicate and chic bag.

Gently opened the bag, took out a small enamel carved round box from inside, and I don't know what mechanism I touched, the box bounced up and down.

Looking at the box that was less than an inch thick, there was a hidden mystery, a mirror was inlaid in the lid, and a small ball of round cakes sewn with cloth was placed underneath, and the round cakes were removed, and the incense powder hidden under the bottom was revealed.

Concubine Rong's movements were gentle, and each step came slowly and patiently, as if she was deliberately letting everyone take a clear look at this gadget.

Then he smiled apologetically at everyone, picked up the small round cake, and powdered his face in front of the small mirror.

Everyone suddenly realized that this small box was so wonderful, and Concubine Rong, who was also at a loss, came up with it.

After puffing on the powder, Rouyi fumbled in the bag again, took out an equally delicate enamel tube, unscrewed the lid, and inside was a piece of red lip grease.

"Huh? It turns out that lip balm can still be put in a small tube and carried around? ”

A new Baolin who had never seen Concubine Rong had never seen Concubine Rong, and he was obsessed with her fairy beauty just now, and saw that the things in her hands were different, so he couldn't help but say the words in his heart.

The queen also came back to her senses and praised: "Sister Rong is not only outstanding in appearance, but also exquisite in thought, how could she think of such an ingenious thing?" ”

Concubine Rong was unhurried, and finally took out an eyebrow pencil and swept her eyebrows gently, looked left and right, and was very satisfied with the beautiful face in the mirror, so she put away all the things.

"It's just some gadgets, it's just convenient to carry a picture with you, if the mother can see it, the concubine will send someone to send you a set of fun later."

"The queen is golden and jade, just look at these unknown things, but don't really use them on yourself, if you hurt the phoenix body, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

Concubine Ruan couldn't get used to her foxy appearance, so she spoke up before the queen nodded.

Hmph, get some sensational stuff to attract attention!

"You need to know that good-looking things may not be easy to use, just like this longevity lantern in the yard, it is beautiful from a distance, but it smells a foul smell up close, and it can only be used as an ornament."

The queen glanced at Concubine Rong and said nothing.

Concubine Rong gritted her silver teeth and glared at Concubine Ruan angrily, this ugly monster made a special trip to block her, didn't he? !

With Concubine Ruan's attitude of "you and I have no chance, it all depends on the baby", she didn't want to have another dispute, but this Concubine Ruan didn't realize it and took the initiative to provoke!

"Sister Ruan's words are not right, Sister Gu knows, this longevity lamp is full of treasures, in addition to the flower crown is full of joy, meaning auspicious, the roots and leaves can also be used in medicine, if you deny it completely just because the smell is unpleasant, is it too one-sided?"

"There are thousands of flowers and plants that can be used in medicine, so why take only this one? I'm afraid that this flower is arrogant and arrogant, and thinks that he is irreplaceable and unique. ”

Seeing that Concubine Rong was deflated, Concubine Ruan was full of smoothness and vowed to get back the field she lost last time.

The queen coughed lightly: "What Sister Ruan said is not unreasonable, it is always good to be modest." ”

The tone is light, as if he is really just talking about flowers and plants.

In this game, Concubine Ruan won by a small margin.

Looking at the big round face smirking, Concubine Rong's angry little hands were trembling, and the handkerchief she was holding in a few clicks was almost crumpled, with resentment and grievance, she glanced back at Su Xiaojiu.

Receiving the mother's gaze for help, she knew that it was time for her to play.

whispered a few words in Concubine Rong's ear, and the hibiscus face that was cold just now instantly brightened.

"If you master and servant have any witty words, you might as well say it so that everyone can listen to it, how can there be a reason for stealing your own fun?"

The queen noticed their small movements and said so.

Concubine Rong nodded her chin towards Su Xiaojiu: "Since the queen mother asked, you can talk about it!" ”
