On the full moon banquet for her child, the devastating news arrived that her husband had died on the battlefield. Sheng Xiyan fell into the abyss.
The prince's mansion bullied the orphan...
"Makeup, right?"
In the Chang'e Zhai shop, which is famous in the capital,
Xuan Ling carefully selected the color of makeup and personally drew two black caterpillar eyebrows for Sheng Xiyan.
Stick a pearl on the peony flower.
He said seriously: "There is no beauty that can surpass the beauty of the ages. A beauty that pleases the eyes is a beauty. A beauty that overwhelms the country and astonishes the world. Well, she is still not as good-looking as before."
He picked up the silk powder puff, dipped it in rose pearl powder, and applied it to Sheng Xiyan's cheek.
She also picked out a red lip mud and applied it on her.
After finishing the painting, the boss next to him couldn't help but turned around and laughed.
Sheng Xiyan was about to look in the mirror, but Xuan Ling stopped her and coaxed her:
"It's so beautiful. Let's go quickly. We have to return to the palace before noon."
"oh."
As soon as he went out, Eunuch Fu blinked his eyes and asked why Miss Sheng had a Fuwa face painted on her face with both cheeks so red.
After getting on the carriage, Sheng Xiyan touched her face and asked, "Why is Eunuch Fu smiling so strangely?"
Xuan Ling fanned her, "He doesn't understand. Yanyan is now truly a radiant beauty."
Sheng Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes moving.
This makeup concealed her charm, making her look naive and adorable, and her smile was particularly pleasant. Xuan Ling tried hard not to laugh.
My Yanyan is so cute. If I had a daughter with her, she would definitely look like this.
She pulled his shoulder and said coquettishly, "Master Xuan, there is only one last thing left."
"What is it?"
"Could you please accompany me to meet my family? That way we can get through this."
Xuan Ling said coldly: "No."
When Sheng Xiyan heard this, she lowered her head and remained silent.
Her fingertips scraped against his sleeve, and her excitement came to an abrupt end.
Xuan Ling looked at her from the side and saw that she was trying hard not to cry, and the black caterpillar eyebrows trembled slightly.
He deliberately asked, "Yan Yan, can you blame me for being ruthless?"
Sheng Xiyan felt lost.
"How dare I blame the emperor? The emperor has been very good to me. I dare not have any more wishful thinking."
Her loss actually made him feel comfortable, because she cared about whether he went to see his parents, which meant she cared about him as a person, not because of his status as an emperor.
The two of them said nothing more along the way.
Outside the carriage, "Your Majesty, we have arrived."
Sheng Xiyan said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will go in and say goodbye to my family and bring the general out."
She lowered her head and didn't even look at him, which was enough to show her inner grievance and unhappiness.
Xuan Ling raised his thin lips and pinched the back of her neck. "You show your joy on your face, but hide your dislike in your heart and don't show it in your actions. Yanyan, you have committed a big taboo in dealing with people."
Sheng Xiyan hung her head and didn't want to pay attention to him. Either you don't want to win my heart, why win half of it and not satisfy the one I care about the most.
He said lovingly, "Go open the bamboo curtain and take a look."
Sheng Xiyan looked up blankly, sat down on the other side and opened the bamboo curtain.
I actually saw some people carrying mahogany boxes, some carrying big geese, and some carrying suckling pigs...a continuous stream of people were entering the Sheng Mansion.
Eunuch Fu said, "My Lady Sheng, the Emperor has already arranged the betrothal last night, saying he wants to give you a surprise."
Sheng Xiyan couldn't believe it. She turned around and saw Xuan Ling sitting upright, smiling at her indifferently.
She went over, held his hand, and squeezed into the man's arms.
"Master Xuan, you just make people cry."
She hugged him and leaned against his chest, feeling as happy as a girl getting married for the first time and surrounded by happiness.
Xuan Ling kissed her forehead and said solemnly, "Yan Yan, let go of the past and learn to love me, okay?"
"Well, although Xiyan met the emperor very late, this concubine will accompany you for a long time."
From the first time they met, he wanted to hold her in his arms, let her eyes be filled with only his figure, and live only for him.
Even though he knew she wasn't in love with him yet.
"Why are you still crying? Stop crying. This makeup is so beautiful that the tears will lose its effect."
He gently wiped the tears from her eyes.
"I will accompany you to visit your family today, and I will give you the pleasure of a concubine after we return to the palace."
As he spoke, he softened his round buttocks to show his approval.
Xuan Ling got off the carriage and saw a man wearing a gray-blue robe. He was not very tall and mighty, but he was gentle and refined. He must be Sheng Xiyan's brother?
Sheng Jingheng was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead. He bowed and said, "I respectfully welcome your Majesty."
Xuan Ling nodded slightly, turned around and carried Sheng Xiyan out of the carriage.
Sheng Jingheng turned around and saw Sheng Xiyan's heavily made-up face. He was so shocked that he was speechless.
Then I looked at her and saw that she had added a lot of jewelry, each of which was worth a fortune.
Hanging around her neck were a Yang-green jadeite necklace, a gold collar, and a Dong-zhu necklace.
Her originally bald head was now covered with pearls and jades. She almost had hairpins and pearls stuck on the back of her head, and her ears were pierced with holes.
The two wrists clinked with the sound of jade and gold colliding crisply.
Even the embroidered shoes were replaced with jewel-studded flower shoes.
Even a nouveau riche wouldn't dress so ostentatiously.
It perfectly embodies the feeling of becoming rich overnight.
The front yard of the Sheng family was filled with mahogany boxes tied with red silk, and the guards were still moving them in.
Yue Niang supported Sheng's mother, and their legs became weak.
"Mother, is this the Emperor's betrothal gift? This is too much. I just secretly saw several large boxes of gold ingots and jade..."
Mother Sheng asked anxiously, "Where is the general?"
Hua Xia was calm. She knew that our emperor liked the young lady and would definitely try to make her smile.
"The young master is playing with the puppy in the backyard."
"Go and get him here."
When there is a child playing, adults will not be so nervous.
As Sheng's mother was speaking, she saw a tall and imposing young man appear.
