Bai Chen's soft fingers, pinching an ivory comb, gently squeezed the sideburns that were trimmed to be more neat, and then a lifelike royal blue peony palace hairpin was put on the high bun combed out of novel patterns, lining the woman to paint a particularly slender purple and gold phoenix more charming, at first glance, it seems that the beautiful woman is wearing a dress of inner service Gao Yuxiang and the makeup of the queen mother for a while, in the end, it is still in the gold makeup to pick out a small and delicate golden phoenix hairpin, gently inserted into the queen mother's bun, this is a palm, smiled and said: "It's all right, can the Queen Mother be satisfied?" ”

"You slippery head, you want to ask for a reward again." The Queen Mother looked at her radiant and gorgeous appearance in the bronze mirror, although it was a reprimanding tone, the corners of her lips had a comfortable smile: "Ingenuity, clever and diligent, Yuxiang, you are good anywhere, but the problem of greed for money needs to be changed." ”

"What is the use of the slave and maid asking for all that money? It's not to honor the father-in-law and grandfather, the queen mother rewards the two elders, and the two elders are more decent, this is the queen mother's tolerance and love, but the slave maid has a filial piety reputation. Gao Yuxiang smiled more happily, not like other palace people, cautious and quiet in front of the Queen Mother, and often boasted: "What the slave said is true? The Queen Mother is really more suitable for glamorous makeup, which is also the Queen Mother's unique endowment, born with a pair of thick eyebrows and bright eyes, so that this gorgeous and noble can be set off, if ordinary people apply this purple gold peony makeup, it is gaudy. ”

The Queen Mother has been especially envious of those women who have a pair of eyebrows and fine eyes since she was young, and it is also because she is more popular nowadays with a beautiful and elegant appearance, but she gave birth to a pair of big and round eyes, which have always been evaluated by others, and the best thing to listen to is the word "Yingshuang", and then there is a face only the eyes are outstanding, the nose is slightly rounded, and the lips are too rich.

However, although she was not born beautiful, the Queen Mother is also like an ordinary woman, especially keen on makeup and maintenance, fortunately, she was born in the family and was lucky to enter the palace as a concubine, naturally there is no shortage of all kinds of beauty secrets, although it is now more than half a hundred, the skin is still moist, and does not look old.

But the Queen Mother used to be very obsessed with elegant makeup, who knew that some time ago, she got such a strange suggestion from Gao Yuxiang, and finally realized that her makeup is more suitable, although it can't be compared with those young people, but it has a different kind of luxury and gorgeousness.

The wonder of this Gao Yuxiang is not only in the makeup and combing, but also the natural sensitivity to all kinds of fragrances, can mix their own unique fragrance, even how to maintain the skin, is also proficient, and has a very good kneading technique, the queen mother because of her age, and often need to carry the phoenix crown hairpin tree, the shoulders are also a little unbearable, but since Gao Yuxiang has been served closely, he kneaded and massaged by him at night, and the soreness has been reduced a lot, even if he is tired, he will not feel so tired.

Therefore, although Gao Yuxiang was transferred to the Penglai Hall not long ago, he was extremely favored by the Queen Mother, and now he is simply inseparable.

"Well, what if I reward you with gold and silver? As long as you serve carefully, you will be prosperous and wealthy in the future. ”

"It still takes three or five days, the Queen Mother, daily maintenance is inseparable from these creams, powders, and greases, but it is also extremely important to be comfortable......" Gao Yuxiang lowered his voice, and was very bold to whisper in the ear of the Queen Mother, and even Ah Lu, who was standing nearby, only heard one sentence clearly: "...... Slaves and maids all know, don't you try to alleviate the queen mother today? ”

The beautiful eyes were horizontal, and the queen mother snorted lightly, but there was no reproach, as if she acquiesced to the advice of the chamberlain.

I heard Gao Yuxiang say again: "Eunuch Dou also feels that the Queen Mother has been looking much better recently?" ”

The queen mother left an opinion, and her henchman Dou Fuan didn't know when to enter, and stood quietly on the side.

Dou Fu'an has indeed been in for a while, and he looked at Gao Yuxiang coldly and diligently, and he was extremely disdainful in his heart - no matter how physically disabled he was as good as an able-bodied man, it was also his father's fault that he was born with oily hair and powdery face, and he was naturally flattered and flattered as a slave and a maid, but in the end, he was not a boudoir girl, and he only tried to compare with him, the henchman of the Queen Mother, who held the power of the Praetorian Guard? It's just a matter of not knowing the height of the sky!

It turns out that this Gao Yuxiang is recommended by Jia Sanbao's other righteous son Tu Dahai, and because of greed, this Tu Dahai has gradually become a little disagreeable with Dou Fu'an in recent years, Gao Yuxiang is favored by the Queen Mother, and treats the rest of the people and even ordinary palace maids are kind and generous, only Dou Fu'an is sneering and often provocative, and Dou Da's eunuch's nest is not a day or two, but he has always known the Queen Mother's temperament, and knows that Gao Yuxiang is in the limelight, if it is not a fatal crime, he cannot be eradicated, He doesn't care about competing with such a kid to see who is more servile, he is just tolerant of the ordinary, and it doesn't matter what he wants to report at this time, so although he saw Gao Yuxiang being courteous, he didn't interfere, until this time the Queen Mother looked at him and respectfully saluted and reported.

It turned out that Xie Ying's servant injured King Jin's hunting pet, but King Jin did not pursue such a case.

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows in surprise: "This is rare, if it is based on He Ye's temperament, it will certainly be blocked by Yingyang, and he will never let it go easily, why is he so generous this time?" ”

Thinking of Xie Ying's awkward temperament that made her angry in the past, the Queen Mother frowned again: "It seems that Princess Nanyang's words don't seem to be fake, Ying'er is seriously ill, and her temperament has really changed greatly. ”

So he thought about waiting for Eleven Niang to return to the palace, and asked carefully what had happened in the past three days, but he didn't take this trivial matter to heart, and asked Dou Fu'an: "Can you investigate carefully?" Since the edict of Zheng Xiong was issued, are the scholars dissatisfied? ”

"No, it shows that it's Xue Xuan's fuss."

The Queen Mother chuckled: "I think that although Xue Xuanzhi refutes the edict, he knows a lot of proportion, and he has never been resentful because the advice was denied, and secretly encouraged the scholars to question the government. ”

Gao Yuxiang saw that the stitch was a sentence: "The Queen Mother Shengming." ”

Obviously, it implies that Dou Fuan is ignorant.

Dou Fu'an was depressed again, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only secretly resent.

The Queen Mother also ignored the disturbances between the chamberlains, and continued: "Among the five sons of Chang'an, I don't know much about Yin Shen, I only know that he has some talents, but unfortunately after Xungui, even if he is reused, it will not have much impact on the family; Shao Guang is too Geng Jie, and whether he can take on the role depends on whether he can learn to be flexible under the persuasion of Yan'er in the future; Wang Ningzhi has a prominent background, and there is no need to question his talent, but it is uncertain whether King Jingzhao can really be subdued, and I don't know what his current affairs are. He Zhan is very scheming, since he joined his brother, over the years, the brother has acted much more clearly than in the past, but He Zhan is a child of the clan, and the scholar is not convinced of him; At the current situation, if you want to curb He Qi from winning over the world, it seems that you still need to pin your hopes on Xue Xuanzhi. ”

This is what it means to reuse Lu Li.

"Does the Queen Mother want to let Xue Xuanzhi be the living room and assist Xu Sheren together?" Dou Fu'an asked.

"No, I want to directly let him be the middle scholar and assist the left and right, He Zhan is more suitable."

Even He Zhan has to carry it with him? Dou Fu'an was secretly speechless, it seems that the behavior of Corporal Lixian of Ruyang Wang He Qi in recent times really made the Queen Mother very cautious.

"The Lingnan case can be found and judged so smoothly, Xue Xuanzhi and He Zhan have contributed a lot, but it is precisely because of the two of them that He Qi's calculations have all failed, and he must be very resentful of these two people, where will Xue Xuanzhi be allowed to compete with him for the heart of the world? As long as He Qi can't hold back and frames Xue Xuanzhi, and then exposes his true face, he won't worry at all that he will be able to buy people's hearts. ”

So as soon as Eleven Niang returned to the palace on this day, she heard the good news that Lu Li and Shishilang would be promoted, of course, Xu Xiu can reveal - since he decided to form an alliance with Eleven Niang, he no longer regards the five sons of Chang'an as competitors, of course, this is only temporary, Xu Sheren knows very well in his heart that before the fledgling strength is not enough, it is not appropriate to make enemies everywhere, but he also did not think about cooperating sincerely with the five sons of Chang'an, the queen mother must not want to trust the talents to form a party and get close, as long as there is no infighting, it is more appropriate to keep a distance, so as to check and balance in the future, Instead of the courtiers uniting so much that one day threatening the imperial power.

He knows better that no matter how he prepares, in fact, he can't stop the Queen Mother from bringing He and Xue to the others, in fact, he can be one step ahead of the appointment of the housekeeper, which is already to take the lead, if you really want to talk about it, He Zhan, who is in love with Liu Shiyi's brother and sister, is more beneficial than Xie and Mao's henchmen, at least there is no need to spend more effort to guard against the other party's plot.

"I hope to cooperate with Chengtai in the future." Xu Xiu can frankly confess his kindness.

"That's inevitable." Eleven Niang chuckled.
