The next day, when Li Shengyi was about to go to the palace banquet, Lu Xing forced him to dress up in front of a bronze mirror.
During this period, the Prime Minister's Mansion took good care of her.
Except for her hair which was still a little dry and yellow, her originally fair face finally had some flesh to it.
Lu Xing inserted the last pearl hairpin into her hair. The master and servant faced the bronze mirror, and the former sighed.
"Miss, you are so beautiful."
Li Shengyi squinted his eyes in the bronze mirror, then widened them again, unable to see his own appearance clearly: ...
"Xing'er, if you don't like having eyes, you can donate them to someone in need."
The surface of this bronze mirror is yellow, and it is impossible to see a person's true appearance.
Although the facial features on my face in the mirror are indeed good, I should always be humble!
With a light hum, Li Shengyi had already finished washing and dressing up. She touched the little golden rabbit in her hand and stretched her neck to look outside the door.
"Isn't my dad ready yet?"
Be mindful.
Then I heard a deep voice coming from the door.
"I'm really flattered that you're thinking of me like this."
[...Haha, such a hypocritical tone.]
If I hadn't wanted to go to the palace to watch the fun, I wouldn't have gone to the palace banquet just because you said yesterday that it was boring.
Qin Songmo, who was seen through, was recently wearing a purple official uniform with a jade belt hook on his waist, which gave him a sense of the proud character of a pine tree.
Seeing his little daughter sitting in front of the dressing table, waiting for him obediently, Qin Songmo pretended not to hear her thoughts and spoke to her.
"Have you prepared everything? Since it's ready, let's go."
Li Shengyi was waiting for this sentence from him.
Jumping off the chair, she ran forward, lifting her skirt.
Finally, she thought of something and handed the little golden rabbit in her hand to Lu Xing behind her, "Please keep it for me, thank you."
Lu Xing had just stretched out her hand when she heard her young lady thanking her. She was so shocked that she fell to her knees on the spot.
"These are what a servant should do. Miss, you don't have to be polite."
Li Shengyi still wasn't used to this custom of kneeling when told to.
She helped the little maid who was much taller than her up from the ground. Just as she handed the little golden rabbit to her, she heard Qin Songmo's voice above her head.
"Shengyi really likes the little golden rabbit? I'll have someone kill a few more someday, just in case you lose one in the future, you'll have something new to play with."
Perhaps Qin Songmo is the only one who can regard gold as a toy.
Li Shengyi shook her head and waited for Lu Xing to put away the little golden rabbit before she left the courtyard with Qin Songmo and got on the carriage.
-
Compared with the scene he saw when he first came to the palace, when Li Shengyi entered the palace again today, he saw that the palace at this time was obviously much more lively than before.
All he saw were ministers and palace maids. Li Shengyi even saw Eunuch Fu'an beside Su Jinrou.
"Watch the road ahead. Someone will take you to your family's place later. If you need anything, just ask Qingfeng to come find me."
Qin Songmo noticed that his little daughter had been distracted frequently since she entered the palace.
Seeing that she was about to bump into the palace maid in front of her, he immediately reached out and grabbed the back of her collar, thus preventing the two from colliding.
The back of the collar was suddenly pulled.
Li Shengyi's eyes suddenly widened.
She breathed a sigh of relief only after the suffocating feeling on her neck disappeared.
[I was so scared! I thought a ghost was choking me!]
"But Dad, did you really not see that eunuch Fu'an was standing right next to you, winking at you constantly, his eyelids practically twitching?"
[Are you really, really, really not going to go check it out? Maybe it's Su Jinrou looking for you, maybe there's something interesting to watch!!!]
Compared with the hustle and bustle around him, Qin Songmo raised his hand to support his forehead because of his little daughter's desire to watch the fun.
He handed Li Shengyi to Qingfeng and was about to go to the front to sit alone.
A familiar voice called out from behind him.
"Master Qin, I didn't expect you to come so early to the palace banquet today."
"I heard that Lord Qin recently adopted a daughter. Can you bring her to the banquet today?"
Yun Bixian, who was also wearing purple official uniform, quickened his pace and came to Qin Songmo's side. The old man and the young man walked side by side.
Even though Qin Songmo was standing on horseback, his face was pale and due to a chronic disease in his body, he looked frail and weak, and was actually three times better looking than the top prostitute in the brothel. However, his aura was too cold and no one dared to approach him to talk to him.
On the other hand, Grand Secretary Yun Bixianyun is a fat man with a kind heart. When he smiles, he looks like Maitreya Buddha and is very kind.
When the two of them are together, one is aloof and the other is kind, anyone with a discerning eye can tell which one is difficult to approach and which one is easy to get along with.
Li Shengyi naturally also saw Yun Bixian.
Her eyes fell on the body that was more than twice as wide as Qin Songmo's, and she silently complained in her heart.
[It's no wonder the Second Prince is colluding with the Fifth Prince. They're both sly underdogs. In the future, they'll work together to bring down the Crown Prince.]
My father's deadpan face isn't very appealing, but this Lord Yun, who's protecting the Second Prince, may not be able to recover in the future either.
When Qin Songmo was halfway there, he turned around and saw only the frail back of his little daughter.
When he looked away, he saw a cunning glint in Yun Bixian's eyes.
"Master Qin loves his daughter dearly. It's only a short separation, but you're so reluctant to let her go?"
Qin Songmo responded, "Lord Yun is joking. This is my first time entering the palace, so I'm bound to be nervous."
Yun Bixian laughed out loud.
