Chapter 7: Tears
Seeing that Yu Yang was worried, Mrs. Qingning raised her eyes and left tears in her eyes, did not answer Yu Yang's question, and ordered: "Get up." ”
"Yes."
Yu Yang, who had not learned complete etiquette, shook his body and got up, patted his knees, straightened his skirt, stood up straight, still tucked his chin, and looked at Mrs. Qingning in the palace cautiously and worriedly, and suddenly met Mrs. Qingning's eyes, and quickly lowered his head to look at the ground, holding his hands in a restrained manner.
After calming down, Mrs. Qingning got up and walked in front of Yuyang, seeing that she didn't dare to look at herself, she smiled faintly and said, "You always keep your head down, don't look at my figure, how can you be my clothing officer?" ”
"Yes! It's the grass people who are rude! ”
Yu Yang hurriedly raised her head, Mrs. Qingning stood one step away from her, looking at her with a smile on her face, at this time Yu Yang saw her face clearly - she was in her fifties, her brown hair was still so bright and thick, without a trace of white hair, combed into a gorgeous bun, wearing a valuable hairpin ring, her face did not show the fatigue of aging, and the traces left by a few years could not hide her majesty and grandeur. But the strange thing is that she is obviously full of spirit and smile, but there is no focus and light in those brown eyes, and the smile does not reach the corners of her eyes.
After glancing at Mrs. Qingning a few times, Yuyang couldn't help but tremble, lowered her head again, and was just about to say something, when she suddenly remembered something wrong, and hurriedly looked up at Mrs. Qingning again, and exclaimed, "Madam, are you brown-haired?" And also...... Brown eyes?! ”
Seeing her so surprised, Mrs. Qingning showed a relaxed smile and asked her, "Aren't you too?" ”
"I ......" Yuyang has been inferior to this brown hair and brown eyes that are different from everyone since she was a child, these eyes and hair remind her from time to time that she is an abandoned baby who was picked up, and she is an outsider who does not belong to Nianping Island, thinking of this, the familiar loss and loneliness swelled up in her heart again, "Yes, it is different from everyone, like a monster......"
Mrs. Qingning smiled again and said, "So...... You mean, I'm a monster too? ”
"It's not! That's not true! I mean......" Yu Yang hurriedly wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Mrs. Qingning: "Okay, let's talk about appearance here, your brown hair and brown eyes are indeed conspicuous, and it will not be easy to do things in the future, today I will help you fulfill a wish, and change to the same black hair and black eyes as everyone else for you." ”
"Brunette instead?" Yu Yang was still thinking, is there a way to change the color of his hair and eyes in this world? But before she could think clearly, Madame had already swept over her head for a while, completing the casting of spiritual magic.
Mrs. Qingning returned to her seat in the hall and said to Yu Yang, who had no idea what was going on: "From now on, you will be my Nuojia Qingning's clothing official, one of the hundred officials of the Inner Dynasty, and from today onwards, I hope you will be strict with yourself and be a qualified courtier." The first task given to you is already on your desk, go ahead and hope you can surprise me. ”
"Yes...... Xiaomin retired. ”
Yu Yang wanted to ask something more, but Mrs. Qingning didn't seem to intend to explain the matter of brown hair and brown eyes to her, and also had the intention of driving her away, Yu Yang didn't dare to ask more, and respectfully saluted again, leaving this solemn main hall.
When she came to the door of the main hall, Madame's maid Shuran was no longer here, Yuyang looked at the two teams of people at the door, but she couldn't find Xiaoqing's figure, she hurriedly asked the maid next to her: "Where is Xiaoqing?" ”
"Xiaoqing was called away by the principal."
Yuyang knew that Xiaoqing must have been punished for what happened in the morning, and he didn't care about the so-called etiquette, so he hurried to Anming Building with his skirt, and met Mo Yi as soon as he entered the door.
"Lord Chief!" Yu Yang stopped him, he also stopped, walked in front of Yu Yang and made a simple salute, and said, "I have met Lord Yi, congratulations to Lord Yi on being officially ranked as a hundred officials." ”
"I-sama?" Yu Yang was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to react, she was now an official official of the Inner Dynasty, but at this time she didn't care so much, and hurriedly asked him, "What about Xiaoqing?" Was she chastised for my business? ”
Mo Yi didn't intend to hide anything, he looked straight at the anxiety and remorse in Yuyang's eyes and replied: "Yes, Xiaoqing is seriously derelict in his duties and has been sent out of the city." ”
"What......" Yuyang never expected that her small act would ruin a maid's good future.
"If Lord Yi has nothing else to do, the small one will retire first, the work in the food and clothing room is complicated, and it can't be delayed for a moment, so I will leave." Mo Yi was about to leave after speaking, but Yu Yang stepped forward and stopped again, explaining to Xiaoqing: "Principal, please listen to me, this matter is not good for me, I locked the door, and Xiaoqing couldn't get me up at all after two doors, and then I didn't listen to her persuasion to bathe and change clothes, and changed the wrong clothes, so I almost lost the etiquette of seeing my wife, this matter is my fault alone, how can it be said that it is Xiaoqing's fault?" ”
Yu Yang's earnest words not only did not impress Mo Yi, but made Mo Yi shake his head and asked Yu Yang: "So, if one day Lord Yi also mistook Madame's clothes because of something, and lost our face when meeting with the envoys of other countries, will the envoys of other countries know about your fault?" ”
"I ......" Yu Yang didn't know how to answer, Mo Yi shouted: "Other countries are coming!" I can only say that we are ten thousand pavilions, and we don't know how to count etiquette! ”
With an angry shout, the whole upstairs and downstairs were so frightened that they stopped their steps, held their breath, and Yuyang stayed in place.
Seeing that Yu Yang heard the truth in his words, Mo Yi changed back to his general tone and said in a deep voice: "I hope that Master Yi can afford the trust of Madame, and will not follow in Xiaoqing's footsteps and say goodbye." ”
After speaking, the principal saluted and left in front of Yu Yang, leaving Yu Yang alone in place, as if he had been drunk with a stick, and only then did he wake up, this is no longer the free Nianping Island, this is Ruian City, and it is the residence of the king's sister, Mrs. Qingning. She is no longer an ordinary Yi Yuyang, she is one of the hundred officials of the Wanting Dynasty, and any mistakes she makes will have a great impact.
After everyone dispersed, she walked up to the fourth floor with a depressed body, without Xiaoqing's company, and at some point she followed a maid with an unknown surname at a distance of three steps, which seemed to be replacing Xiaoqing. Yu Yang only felt tired, walked to the sofa in the small living room of the house and sat down, looked out the window, and happened to glance at himself reflected in the glass, he couldn't see clearly, but he always felt that something was wrong.
Yu Yang got up and walked to the glass of the window, took a photo, and then looked back at the dresser, only then did he see his appearance clearly, and he was frightened and screamed.
"I-sama?! What's wrong? The maid outside the door hurriedly came in to inquire when she heard the shout, and Yuyang hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm sorry, I scared you." ”
"It's okay, just call me if you have anything, I'll wait outside the door."
"Okay, I'm tired."
Smiling and sending off the strange maid, Yu Yang hurriedly lay down in front of the mirror, staring at himself in the mirror in disbelief, and said to himself: "Black hair! It's actually brunette...... And black eyes...... How so? ”
At this time, she remembered what Madame had just told her - to fulfill her wish like ordinary people.
"Could it be...... This is the legendary spiritual power? ”
Yu Yang knows very little about spiritual power, only that in the nearly two thousand years of history of the Nuojia Dynasty of the Wanting Kingdom, the bloodlines of the nobles and the royal family have inherited mysterious powers, called spiritual power. Civilians have no spiritual power, some civilians who have had vague noble blood on their ancestors, and a few will have extremely weak spiritual power. But Yu Yang has never heard that spiritual power can actually change people's appearance? She looked at the black hair that was finally like an ordinary person, and couldn't help jumping with excitement, looking at the hair in the mirror and not worrying, she had to grab a handful of hair and put it in front of her eyes, so she believed that she had really become black hair.
But thinking of her hair, a question suddenly popped up in Yu Yang's mind, which immediately extinguished her excitement - Mrs. Qingning has the same hair color and eyes as her, could it be that Mrs. Qingning has something to do with her life experience?
Yuyang fell into deep thought.
A person buried her head in thought for a long time, and after realizing the passage of time, she hurriedly shook her head, feeling that she was always cranky, and the more she thought about it, the more outrageous it became, so she had to put the matter aside, and then she remembered what Madame's last sentence seemed to explain.
"...... on the table"
Yu Yang looked up at the study, and sure enough, a black envelope had been placed on the table in a regular manner, Yu Yang hurriedly walked over, opened the envelope, and saw that it was written in a solemn and calm font:
"Costume Commander Yi Yuyang: The head of the six ministers, the Minister of Political Science and Law, and the patriarch of the Ji clan, Mrs. Nuojia Qingning, will receive the envoy of the neighboring country Suroika in the capacity of the princess of Wanting during the court meeting next week, and ask the costume officer to hand over the artwork to the Ruian City Garment Factory before the evening of March 18."
"March 18th...... What is today? Yu Yang tried to recall, and counted the days with his fingers, "When I left, it was March 15th, and I took the car for two days, so yesterday was the 16th, and today is ...... Seventeenth! ”
The thought of having to deliver the manuscript tomorrow made Yu Yang anxious, although it was not difficult to produce a manuscript in a day at her speed, but her understanding of the royal family and nobles was almost zero, the clothes were tangible, and the design of the Yao costume could not be wrong at all on a formal occasion. At this time, she remembered what Mo Yi, the head of the food and clothing room, had just said, and she was suddenly even more annoyed.
