Chapter 1121: So You Are Such a Virtuous Consort
Several ladies in the palace have thick thighs.
Tang Bao naturally needs to be held tightly.
"Oh! Our Tangtang is the best, she's really a sweetheart!"
Before Tang Bao could finish her words, Concubine Shu started to call out.
However, while he was talking, his actions were not slow at all.
He quickly took out a purse and tied it around his waist neatly.
She is naturally afraid of snakes and insects!
But in the wild, it is inevitable to encounter it.
For this reason, every time I followed the emperor out hunting, I couldn't have fun traveling around.
Although realgar powder can also repel snakes, the smell is too unpleasant.
She couldn't have to endure the strong smell of realgar powder wherever she went, right?
Is it to go out for fun, or to suffer?
This time, after hearing what happened in the villa of Prince Rong's Mansion, he had originally made up his mind not to go anywhere unless necessary and to stay in the bedroom.
Now it’s okay, I finally don’t have to be afraid of anything.
Concubine Shu couldn't wait to hug Tang Bao and give her a few kisses.
How come this little guy is so considerate?
The Concubine Shu was quick, and the Concubine Gui and Concubine Xian were not slow either.
Each person picked out a purse they liked and tied it around their waist.
Usually, palace maids and nannies take care of such matters.
Today, several ladies can't wait for others to take action.
It’s better to tie this kind of good thing around your waist first to feel comfortable.
Tang Bao looked at the fairy lady who was as beautiful as a lonely moon.
The fairy lady looked at the purse with a burning gaze.
The fragrance is so pleasant, and I have never smelled it before.
The elegance seems to be mixed with a hint of strong, making people unable to help but be intoxicated...
The Fairy Lady was a little intoxicated.
In fact, Tang Bao had already guessed the identity of this lady.
——Defei.
Concubine De has always regarded herself as aloof and arrogant.
In the words of Concubine Shu, she is alone and self-admiring.
The imperial concubine tied her purse and looked in the direction Tang Bao was looking.
"This is Concubine De," Concubine Gui introduced.
Tang Bao quickly saluted properly.
"Su Tang greets the Empress Defei."
Concubine De nodded with dignity.
Then, he took off the jade bracelet on his wrist and handed it to Tang Bao. His voice was cold, like the first melting of ice and snow, with a chill.
"You can wear it for fun."
Tang Bao: “…”
Indeed, noble and untainted by dust.
"Tangtang, take it quickly!" Empress Shufei said quickly, "It's rare for Empress Defei to step into the mortal world and reward you with such a vulgar thing. We are all ordinary people, and we like such vulgar things. Quick, take it..."
Concubine De glanced at Concubine Shu coldly.
Tang Bao: "...Thank you, Empress Defei."
He took the bracelet obediently.
"If your Majesty doesn't mind this purse, please wear it for self-defense." Tang Bao picked up a purse embroidered with orchids and presented it to the De Fei Empress with both hands. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty's temperament is like an orchid, noble and elegant beyond words. Although this purse doesn't match your temperament, it can at least keep out mosquitoes."
Empress Defei's eyes were originally fixed on the purse with burning passion.
After hearing what Tang Bao said, he could no longer hold it in.
"Miss Su is thoughtful."
After saying that, he took the purse impatiently.
Then, he went to look at the jar of medicine powder.
Seeing this, Tang Bao said sympathetically, "If Her Majesty Defei doesn't mind, you can take some of the powder away later and sprinkle it around the palace to prevent snakes, rats, insects, and ants from getting close and scaring Her Majesty."
Concubine Shu curled her lips and said, "She doesn't mind at all. She followed me here eagerly, isn't it just for these things?"
Empress Defei was still cold. She glanced at Empress Shufei without saying a word.
That posture was completely like that of a fairy who was high and mighty and didn't bother to argue with ordinary people.
Tang Bao smiled and sighed that the ladies had different temperaments and each had her own merits.
However, they seemed to be getting along harmoniously, and there wasn't anyone with malicious intentions.
"Tangtang, you haven't been to the palace for so long, look at my nails..." Concubine Shu said, stretching out her nails for Tang Bao to see, with a look of disgust on her face, complaining: "They have grown so much, they are so ugly..."
Sure enough, the new nails grew out a little bit, and the original manicure looked a little ugly.
As soon as Concubine Shu finished her words, Concubine Gui and Concubine Xian, who were originally wearing armor, took off their fingernails and let Tang Bao see their nails.
The meaning is self-evident.
Tang Bao: "...Didn't I give you nail polish?"
Won't you let the palace maids do it?
Concubine Shu said disdainfully, "No one else's craftsmanship is as good as yours, Tangtang. The flowers you painted are so lifelike, and the colors are so bright and beautiful."
The virtuous concubine also said, "Tangtang, it would be fine at any other time, but this spring hunt coincides with the coming of many nations to pay their respects. We represent the reputation of the Great Yan Imperial Harem, and we absolutely cannot allow ourselves to be ridiculed because of our ugly nails."
Tang Bao: “…”
What a noble reason.
She couldn't refuse.
"I'm afraid it's too late today. How about this, I'll do new manicures for you ladies tomorrow?" Tang Bao said.
Concubine Shu was immediately overjoyed and said, "Okay! It's settled. I'll come find Tangtang tomorrow."
The Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine were also very satisfied and said they would come to see Tangbao tomorrow.
The ladies achieved their goals and left in a hurry, asking people to go back and spread the powder.
Moreover, they had to dress up again so that they could look stunning at the palace banquet later.
However, Concubine De did not leave. A hint of hesitation appeared on her otherworldly face.
Tang Bao asked in confusion: "Does the Queen have any other instructions?"
When Concubine De heard Tang Bao's question, she no longer hesitated and said in a cold voice, "I see that the patterns painted on Concubine Shu's nails show that you have a good foundation in painting. I believe your painting skills have been taught by a famous teacher. I wonder who your teacher is?"
A burning look suddenly appeared in Concubine De's eyes.
Tang Bao's heart moved.
"To answer your Majesty, my master was Yu Zhilan, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy back then," said Tang Bao.
As he spoke, he observed Concubine De's expression calmly.
As expected, Concubine De's eyes lit up.
Tang Bao's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately began to imagine a drama of imperial power in which a talented man and a beautiful woman fell in love with each other, but in the end their love was snatched away by the emperor.
"I see. I've heard Master Yu's paintings are unmatched in the world." Empress Defei said, "A great teacher produces a brilliant student. No wonder Miss Su can capture the beauty of flowers and plants even when painting on her nails."
"You are too kind, Madam Virtuous." Tang Bao said modestly, "My master is worthy of his reputation, but I have not been able to learn even one tenth of his ability. I am truly ashamed."
Consort De's expression straightened, and she said solemnly, "How can you be so self-deprecating? Wouldn't this tarnish your master's reputation?"
Tang Bao: “…”
Isn't this too protective of my master? No, I'm praising my master...
Tang Bao felt that she needed to find her master and have a good talk.
Never think about other people’s women!
——This is a matter of principle!
