Chapter 19: Wake Up Late

Ling Zhiqiao had dinner, took another duck without a duck leg and Mama Qin back to the Dream Garden, wrote a note and put it into the bamboo pipe of the pigeon's leg, released the pigeon, and then slept beautifully, after all, she felt that riding a horse was also sad.

At dusk, at three o'clock, Mama Qin opened the small door, but it was Han Li, Dusk Yunhan's guard, who came in.

"Why are you here on your own?" Ling Zhiqiao was strange.

"The prince was just about to leave the palace, and news came from the emperor's palace, His Majesty seemed to have some signs of waking up, so he rushed over, afraid that the girl would be in a hurry, and sent his subordinates down to report a message."

"Oh, okay, I'm in no hurry anyway."

Han Li always felt that Miss Ling's eyes seemed to have ill intentions in her eyes today, and he asked, "Then what is the matter of calling the prince here today?" ”

"I just told him that I will also enter the palace tomorrow, and if he can spare time to find a free time to take me out, he can go to see the imperial concubine."

"What? If you enter the palace tomorrow, won't you select the crown princess tomorrow? Don't? Han Li was a little surprised.

"That's right! Another nameplate was given to me, so I had to go too. Ling Zhiqiao replied indifferently.

"Then Miss Xiao Er didn't go?"

"Xiao Qinxue is also going, maybe the second prince is going to be sad, and I don't know what's going on, the palace also issued me a name tag, so I should go to the palace for a day trip, just to do things."

At this time, Han Li's face was strange, and she thought to herself that Miss Ling really thought that the palace was fun.

"I know, I'll go back and tell the prince, I hope the girl will be careful when she enters the palace tomorrow, act when she sees the opportunity, and when you see the queen, you must hide your edge." Han Li said everything he could think of to remind Ling Zhiqiao. He had to hurry back to the palace and tell the second prince to go.

"Han Li, will the second prince be in the palace tomorrow?" Ling Zhiqiao suddenly shouted at Han Li's back.

Han Litou didn't dare to reply, and he didn't know whether he should say yes or no, but he just said "um" and ran away.

Hmph, you're not a good kid either! Seeing that Han Li had run away, Ling Zhiqiao, who had nothing to do, remembered that the roast duck hadn't eaten yet, so she asked Mama Qin to scald a pot of wine, and the master and servant chatted while eating, but they didn't think that the more they talked, the happier they became, and after three rounds of drinking, the next day the master and servant both got up late.

Whenever the new crown prince ascends the throne, he will hold a feast in the palace for the selection of the crown princess, and each royal palace will actively send carriages to send the well-dressed concubines to the gate of the palace to wait for entering the palace.

As soon as the sun rose, Xiao Qinxue finished dressing up, and the Lu family and the maid Ling'er checked it several times before sending her to the carriage to the palace. Originally, Ling Zhiqiao was going to go with her in a carriage, Xiao Qinxue deliberately got up early, just to catch Ling Zhiqiao off guard, since she didn't think of a way not to let her go, it would be good to make her a stumbling block.

When General Xiao Qian was waiting for them to go out at the gate of the mansion, the carriage had already left, and only Lu was standing at the door, so he asked: "These two are very diligent today, and the old man thinks that he will come out to send them off." ”

"Master, Xue'er has already left, and the palace is to blame when she is wrong, and that concubine of yours thinks she hasn't gotten up yet! Who knows where she went? ”

After Lu's words were finished, Ling Zhiqiao ran out of the backyard in a hurry, and Mama Qin chased behind her with a hairpin: "Miss, Miss, this hairpin is not worn." ”

Ling Zhiqiao stopped, and Mama Qin came up with a pant and inserted the magnolia jade hairpin into her: "This combed hair can't help but run like this, it's going to fall apart." ”

"It's okay, it's okay! I'll comb it when I get to the carriage. ”

Ling Zhiqiao came to the gate of the mansion in three steps and two steps, and saw that there were only Xiao Qian and Lu, and the carriage was gone: "Uncle, Qiao'er got up late, is the carriage gone?" ”

Xiao Qian couldn't bear to blame her anxious look: "Hurry up and prepare another carriage for Miss." ”

The little maid brought over the carriage, Ling Zhiqiao lifted the corner of her skirt and passed by Lu's side, her knees bent slightly, but she turned her head sideways and said goodbye to Xiao Qian: "Uncle, I'm leaving!" ”

"Time is in a hurry, enter the palace and check again, don't lose your courtesy." Xiao Qian was also worried about Ling Zhiqiao, and her hair seemed to be about to fall apart.

Lu didn't pay attention to Ling Zhiqiao's salute at all, she didn't care at all, what she cared about was Ling Zhiqiao's dress, the set of clothes she was wearing, how could the fabric be never seen in the shop, and the most important thing was that this one was more than many times better than Xiao Qinxue's!

It can be said that Ling Zhiqiao has a seven-point appearance, and with three points of clothes, the slightly messy hair and jewelry can be ignored, and she can even make up a peerless beauty, and the ruthless Lu's teeth are itching.

Could it be that it was Ling Zhiqiao who made Xiao Qinxue's No. 1 reputation in Kyoto unsafe, she really didn't see that Ling Zhiqiao was so beautiful after being dressed up a little.

In the dark, the Lu family had an ominous premonition, Ling Zhiqiao was the beauty that Xiao Zhou's mouth said made the second prince and Jiang Dawei jealous.

"Master, she is dressed more beautiful than Qin Xue. If she is chosen as the crown princess, I will not be done with you. Lu's shrew dragged General Xiao Gan's arm and cried.

"Qiao'er's hair is messed up like that, you don't see it, they are all daughters of the General's Mansion, and whoever chooses the old man is happy." Xiao Qian said so on his lips, but he still prayed in his heart that as long as Qiao Er got things done, he wouldn't encounter danger.

The Lu family was still unrelenting, Xiao Qian flicked his sleeves angrily and said, "Early in the morning, why are you crying!" If you cry again, Qin Xue's good luck will be lost by you. Xiao Qianli ignored the Lu family and went to breakfast.

When the general said this, it really worked, Lu stopped his tears, stood at the door for a while, and returned to the yard without interest.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, Ling Zhiqiao was really the last to arrive, a little eunuch was checking the signs of the nobles in turn, he waited impatiently for the carriage to stop, checked the name tag handed out by Ling Zhiqiao, and said in a voice like an ungrown boy: "The first one I am right about is the young lady of the General's Mansion, saying that the other one is sick and can't come, you are the one who is sick?" ”

Ling Zhiqiao thought that this little eunuch was quite capable of posing music, she suddenly lifted the curtain and poked her head out: "This little father-in-law, do I have to talk to you if this girl is sick or not!" Her tone was very gentle, but her hair was very messy, and the little eunuch was not prepared at all, so frightened that she sat on the ground, she had never seen such a princess to be chosen.

Ling Zhiqiao quickly lowered the curtain again and said outside: "This girl feels good now, and the little father-in-law can go on an errand." The little eunuch got up and patted the ashes on his clothes, and did not dare to say any more, so he went to the palace gate to make an errand.

Ling Zhiqiao took advantage of the time waiting to enter the palace and began to toss her hair, it was really too messy, she and Mama Qin were drunk, and after waking up in the morning, she really scared Mama Qin to death, but fortunately, the things and clothes to enter the palace were prepared.

Mama Qin combed her hair, and she couldn't spare time to dress up her face, so she had to come by herself, Ling Zhiqiao didn't wear makeup in the army in her previous life, but she didn't expect that there were a lot of things on her face in this life. She drew her eyebrows, dyed her lips, put some fat powder on her face, and used as little as she could.

Mama Qin also helped her check through the mirror, and in the end, the two agreed that it was not bad, but Ling Zhiqiao felt that the mirror in this life was not very high-definition.

Ling Zhiqiao couldn't help but laugh with the magnolia jade hairpin in her hand, Mama Qin's legs and feet were really fast, and it was obvious that she was in a hurry to catch up with her.

But I really don't know how to comb this head, Ling Zhiqiao made a difficulty, this left and right piles are coiled on the head, and she has to make a shape which can be coiled out by her hand.

Forget it, just get one of me! Ling Zhiqiao bit the magnolia jade hairpin on her mouth, lowered her head, left all the hair on the hairline at the back of her neck, and then gathered all the remaining hair on the top of her head, twisted it into a bun, and inserted it into the root of the hair with a hairpin to fix it, and shook her head to try to loosen it.

After she felt quite stable, she continued to get the rest of the hair, Ling Zhiqiao looked left and right, pulled up the curtain blocking the car, pulled out a number of thin threads at the edge of the cloth curtain, and braided all the hair left behind her into small braids, tied them with threads, and just got it done, I heard the little eunuch shouting outside the car just now: "Ling Zhiqiao, the concubine of the General's Mansion, please move into the palace." ”

Ling Zhiqiao opened the sedan curtain and couldn't wait to get out of the car, seeing the little eunuch looking at her with her mouth open, she touched her hair a little inexplicably, it won't be difficult to see this extent!

"Little father-in-law, may I ask if I am on the sedan chair behind you!" Ling Zhiqiao's smile bloomed like a hundred flowers, illuminating the little eunuch's calm state of mind like stagnant water.

He had a sincere smile on his face, and the ungrown child's voice could suddenly be heard as a cheerful version of the children's rhyme: "Yes, girl, please get on the sedan chair, today the banquet is in the outer hall of Jing'an Palace, the sedan chair will always send the girl to sit according to the sign." ”

"Thank you, little father-in-law!" Ling Zhiqiao tidied up her dress, prepared to get on the sedan chair, passed by the little eunuch and stopped, "Little father-in-law, please take a look, can this girl's hair still be combed?" ”

How dare the little eunuch blatantly look at it, just one glance just now is better than countless glances, and he hurriedly replied: "The girl's dress, makeup, and hair are all of the highest quality. ”

Ling Zhiqiao chuckled, it seemed that the little eunuch's mind was turning quite quickly, she said with a smile: "Just let the little father-in-law wait for a long time, how offended, see you in the palace." ”

Today, this little eunuch has opened his eyes and knows what it means to be a beautiful woman, even if he is a eunuch, his life is not in vain, all the noble girls who enter the palace today belong to the last one with the best temper, the best voice, and the most beautiful smile, and will definitely be able to choose the crown princess.

The little eunuch is sure that the concubine of the general's mansion can succeed, and she follows behind the sedan chair in a hurry, and I will follow her today, and one day she will become the crown princess, I can also borrow light, no, it is better than the eunuch who does this errand and chores.
