Chapter 281 Have the 'old men' in the palace started vying for favor?
"It's really me."
Empress Xu stood up and turned around. Seeing the lovely Crown Princess, she nodded with satisfaction and said, "Ying'er, the affairs in the mansion are almost settled. You should return to the Crown Prince's Mansion today."
It’s so beautiful, how can I not let my son see it?
Of course, she also wants the emperor to see it.
Qiu Ying suppressed her excitement, bowed to the Queen, and walked out of the palace with her handkerchief swung. Ziyin supported her and said, "Miss, please go slowly. There is no rush. The prince is recuperating in the mansion and he won't run away."
Qiu Ying snorted, "He's not going to run away, but his heart has already run away. I haven't seen how that concubine will compete for favor in the past few days since I was away from home."
Ziyin comforted him: "You are more beautiful than a fairy in your current outfit."
“…”
Empress Xu waved her hand and said, "I am very satisfied. This is your reward. Miss Jiu, can you use these things in your daily life? I really like them."
Jiusu said: "Of course."
Received the lady's hint.
Yuemao opened her cosmetics case and took out two boxes of facial masks and a set of skin care products.
"You teach them how to use it."
All matters had been explained. Finally, Jiusu added: "You must remove your makeup before going to bed, otherwise your skin will be very bad the next day."
Empress Xu said, "Ah, I really don't want to take my makeup off. If I want to put it on again, can I come to you?"
Jiusu said: "The makeup shop will open in five days. During this time, you can ask the maidservants around you to go to the mansion to learn makeup. That way, you can put on makeup more often."
"Xi Xiang." Empress Xu looked at her. "In the next few days, follow Miss Jiu and learn the art of makeup."
Xixiang packed her luggage and followed Jiusu out of the palace.
At this time, Empress Xu changed into a light blue dress. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled softly: "Since I became the empress, I haven't worn such light-colored clothes for a long time. I really look like my youth."
As a queen, she has outstanding appearance and strong ability, which is one of the reasons why she is still the master of the harem after twenty years.
Yunxiang said, "I'll comb your hair. How about wearing less headwear?"
Empress Xu nodded: "According to your wishes."
Yunxiang missed the carefree days before she entered the palace. After combing her hair, she shook her head and dismissed the idea. It was very dangerous to have free thoughts in the deep palace.
They live here.
I can only die here.
Empress Xu did not let anyone else follow her, only Yunxiang and Xiaobeizi. She put her hand on Yunxiang's hand and looked at the scenery around the imperial study, and she felt it was much more pleasing to the eye.
She smiled and walked up the stairs with her skirt lifted.
"It seems the imperial concubine is here too?"
Yunxiang whispered, "The Imperial Concubine had a quarrel with Miss Jiu, and for the sake of Princess Jincai's happiness, she wants the Emperor to take a concubine."
Empress Xu was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on her lips grew wider.
Slowly uttered two words.
"idiot."
As long as you pay attention, you will know where Jiusu lives. Marquis's Mansion, is that a place where anyone can live? And it has also been spread that Jiusu is Marquis Li's biological daughter, but she is just because of the Marquis's face.
Since the Marquis didn't say it, they didn't dare to mention it openly.
Eunuch Shang turned around and said in surprise, "Oh, is this a fairy from heaven descending to earth?"
As the emperor's personal eunuch, he was very smart and an old man in the palace. How could he not know the queen? Queen Xu also understood that this was just flattery.
But today, she benefited from it.
"There's no fairy there, it's me."
Eunuch Shang knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you. You are so beautiful today that I thought you were a fairy from heaven. I did not recognize you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Empress Xu said with a smile, "Hurry up and get up! I'm so happy that you're praising me. Is the Emperor here?"
"Yes, the imperial concubine is here too. I'll go in and report this." Eunuch Shang went in and came out soon. He smiled and opened the door to the imperial study. "Please come in."
Looking at the Queen's swaying back, he shook his head in disbelief.
Everyone says that the imperial concubine is bright and beautiful, but he thinks that the current queen is ten times more beautiful than the imperial concubine. Hiss, what's the matter with that?
Have the 'old men' in the palace started vying for favor?
Empress Xu held the door open, stepped over the wooden threshold, and looked at the imperial concubine kneeling on the ground. She was in a good mood. She put her hands on her waist and bowed gracefully: "Your Highness, I greet you."
Emperor Xu frowned and spoke in confusion.
"The Queen?"
The queen was quite beautiful, so he didn't dare to recognize her. He recognized her through the maidservant beside her.
Empress Xu smiled helplessly: "It is your humble concubine. Your Majesty, do you not recognize your humble concubine?"
Emperor Xu stood up, took the Queen's hand, and sat together on a large wooden chair. This scene made the Queen feel dazed, as if she was back in the Prince's Mansion.
When it's sweet as sugar.
She was only seventeen at the time.
"The Queen is like a fairy, making it difficult for me to recognize her."
Concubine Yin: “???”
They are already an old couple, why are they still being so affectionate? She bravely raised her head curiously, her pupils dilating. Why did the queen become so young?
Her red lips and tender face are very attractive.
Empress Xu asked, "Your Majesty, what happened to the Imperial Concubine?"
Emperor Xu looked at the Imperial Concubine and said angrily, "You have a brain for nothing. You actually instigated me to offend the Marquis and take Jiusu as my concubine."
Concubine Yin defended herself.
"Your Majesty, I am doing this for your own good. She is very capable. What if she gets married to someone else and becomes rebellious? Why don't you let Jiusu enter the palace and marry Jincai to Jiang Jing? This is the best of both worlds. But, what does this have to do with the Marquis? Does the Marquis also want to marry her?"
Emperor Xu sneered twice: "Idiot, don't get in my way."
Concubine Yin twisted her body and leaned on the emperor's knees, looking up at him lovingly and said delicately, "Your Majesty, I am truly thinking of you wholeheartedly..."
"Lao Shang, take her out!" He held the queen's hand and looked at the imperial concubine with an increasingly cold expression.
Eunuch Shang called two maids and helped the imperial concubine out.
Concubine Yin's face was frighteningly gloomy. She clearly noticed that the emperor treated the queen differently. Why did this old woman become so beautiful?
She was pushed out of the imperial study.
She pointed at Eunuch Shang and cursed, "You worthless eunuch! How dare you treat me like this? Be careful or I'll chop off your head."
Eunuch Shang said, "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. If that day ever comes, I will definitely not hide."
As she walked along the road, Concubine Yin became angrier and angrier.
She sent her maid to inquire about the news, only to find out that Jiusu had gone to put on makeup for the Queen, and even the Crown Princess had returned to the palace in a bright and charming manner.
"Jiusu! I will never forgive you! Go and investigate the relationship between Marquis Li and Jiusu. I believe this woman will definitely bring disaster!"
——
The imperial concubine instructed that it was not easy to refuse the princess’ invitation.
Jiang Jing brought Jiang Nianyin with him. He said, "Nianyin loves plum blossoms. She heard that the princess had found some beautiful ones, so she came along. I hope the princess doesn't mind."
Xu Jincai laughed dryly.
"Haha, of course I don't mind. I really like chanting. Let's go over there and take a look."
She took Jiang Nianyin's arm and walked towards the depths of the plum blossom forest. She gave the maid a look and covered her abdomen and said, "Nianyin, wait here for a while. I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach..."
