CHAPTER XLVI
This matter actually involved Yuan Qi, Li Xinghe was a little surprised, but the things behind it were so complicated, and a cold sweat broke out on Li Xinghe's forehead in an instant.
Calm down, you must be calm, Li Xinghe kept reciting these two words, his mood calmed down a bit, and his brain began to work again.
"If there is an accident at the birthday banquet, and the Praetorian Guard has a meritorious role in saving the driver, why can't the orthodox leader receive this first reward? We don't lose money by selling other favors. ”
Li Xinghe looked at Li Chengde's eyes, the two looked at each other, and Li Chengde understood what she meant.
Regardless of whether the final deputy commander will appear at the banquet or not, as long as the orthodox leader is informed of this matter, there will inevitably be a rift between the two, and the credit will only be the orthodox leader, and the official will crush people to death.
"There is also the matter of blame, since we already know Li Chengren's next move, we can strike first. And since he likes to block injuries for the emperor so much, let him play with all his heart, this time he is a real assassin. ”
Li Xinghe continued, but she always felt that this matter was too simple, assassinating the emperor of a country was so careless, so she sent an assassin? Don't take the Praetorian Guards of Tianlan Palace seriously?
Li Chengde thought about it, this is reasonable, it is difficult for him to go back and forth to check a few days ago, but there is no result.
After all the efforts, it is not as important as the content of this scribbled letter, but who will write this letter, Li Chengde is a little curious.
Forget it, there are so many things going on right now, and it won't be an enemy to be able to deliver the news.
"Then sister, I'll contact Xing Fuzhi, the orthodox leader of the Praetorian Guard, first."
Xing Fuzhi should not be a member of Li Chengren's faction, otherwise there would be no such deputy commander, Li Xinghe thought to himself, and said,
"After you go, lower your attitude, and at least act like a corporal of courtesy. By the way, drink today's tonic first, and Shi Ying will warm it for you in the small kitchen. ”
Li Chengde bowed his head and answered, and hurriedly withdrew from the hall. When he left the palace gate, Li Chengde took out the handkerchief in his sleeve and covered his mouth, and coughed violently.
In the past few days, I have been running around, the affairs of the court have been stormy, and my body has been stretched to the limit, but it has been in vain for my sister's thoughts, Li Chengde thought to himself.
Most of the time has passed, and Li Xinghe, who has no time to sleep, really feels very irritable, but she can't help but go to the birthday banquet, not to mention that Li Chengren is waiting for her there.
Shi Ying pushed the door in, and saw Li Xinghe sitting in front of the dressing mirror, puffing out his cheeks as if he was angry with someone, no matter what he looked like, anyone would feel extremely cute, after all, he had such a face that charmed all beings.
"Your Highness is very cooperative today, in the past, it was not all slaves and maids who had to urge His Highness to say a few words before they were willing to collapse, but today really surprised the slaves and maids."
Shi Ying walked behind Li Xinghe and dressed her up.
"Shi Ying, can you help me paint a more domineering makeup today? It's the kind of feeling that gives people a very cold feeling. ”
Li Xinghe gestured in the air with both hands, looking directly into Shi Ying's dark and swarthy eyes, hoping to achieve ideological resonance.
"Why did Your Highness think of painting that kind of makeup today, isn't it usually plain and plain?"
Looking at Li Xinghe's waving little paws, Shi Ying couldn't help laughing, there was no way, His Royal Highness's action was so cute, it simply sprouted her girlish heart.
Li Xinghe's mood quickly rose, today is a day to fight Li Chengren, how can he be worthy of the great gift he gave me in the Chongming Hall if he didn't dress up.
"There's a good show to watch tonight, and I'm sorry for my name as the eldest princess if I don't take a good look at it."
Shi Ying's hand suddenly paused, as if thinking of something, and then didn't speak.
Noticing Shi Ying's stiff movements, Li Xinghe turned around and held Shi Ying's somewhat cold hand, blinked his eyes, and patted the back of her hand comfortingly. There are some things that don't need to be said, just know them.
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was a little solemn, and Li Xinghe told a few cold jokes, which amused the little girl.
Shi Ying tied up Li Xinghe's green silk and tied it into a Wangxian Nine Bun, this kind of bun is only qualified to be tied by royal princesses, and even the most favored concubines cannot be encroached upon.
He pulled out the box at the bottom of the jewelry box, and inside were some of Li Xinghe's most valuable jewelry, which could be regarded as hard-to-find items, which were carefully stored in this box by Shi Ying.
Shi Ying picked up a pair of gold silk inlaid ruby double luans and shook her in a gentle manner, inserted her into Li Xinghe's bun with gentle movements, and pinned a red gold phoenix tail agate tassel behind her hair, showing her dignity.
When Shi Ying got the hair accessories, Li Xinghe's neck was already sore, and this gold and silver jewelry was really a real fake, so she couldn't breathe.
Seeing Li Xinghe's discomfort, Shi Ying also went up to comfort him,
"The harem women dress like this every day, but His Royal Highness is used to being elegant on weekdays, and it is normal to be a little unbearable for a while, just get used to it."
Thinking that tonight's birthday banquet would last for a few hours, Li Xinghe's head instantly grew bigger, but she could bear it.
"Your Highness raise your head, the slave maid will put on your makeup."
Shi Ying held the rouge in her left hand and the eyebrow pen in her right hand, and said.
Really, it's very professional, like a modern makeup artist.
Li Xinghe raised his head cooperatively, looking like he was picking up, which amused Shi Ying. After some tinkering, Shi Ying put down the fat powder in her hand with satisfaction.
The girl in the mirror, her delicate eyebrows are finely outlined by the green snail, and a thin layer of fat powder is applied to her face, adding a little rosy complexion.
Shi Ying dotted a few strokes of red rouge on his lips, and the color was very good-looking. One more stroke will look charming, and one less stroke will look bland, which just achieves the effect Li Xinghe wants.
Shi Ying took out the gold leaf in the box again, and tapped three strokes on Li Xinghe's forehead, and it became a golden plum blossom.
Li Xinghe deliberately chose a red dress with a hundred flowers and gold threads, with the red gold pan luo ring he liked, and then put on crested gold silk shoes, which was perfect.
To herself in the mirror, full of jewels, well, this is the right way for the eldest princess to open.
Li Xinghe needed to enter the venue in advance to prepare for singing and dancing, so he couldn't sit at the table with Li Chengde and Mu Yaoyao.
Before leaving, Li Xinghe left Shi Ying to Li Chengde, after all, it was still the emperor's birthday banquet, and as a prince, he should take care of his appearance.
The guests at the banquet did not arrive, only some palace maids and eunuchs were busy, and it was not easy for Su Jinxiu to arrange such a big banquet alone. But then again, there is no one in this palace who is truly relaxed.
