Chapter 2887 Nature and Humanity
"So what? I think Your Majesty is much better than the other ladies in the palace. It's just that Your Majesty is lazy and doesn't like to dress up. You only wear simple clothes. People who know you say that you follow the emperor in being simple and frugal. People who don't know you think you are a noble lady and others are concubines!"
This time, Nan Yan was really amused by her and started laughing.
While laughing, he pointed at her and said, "You."
Ruoshui looked at her seriously and continued to ramble, "Your Majesty should take out the style of a royal concubine. It's not about controlling them, but you should pay attention to the clothes and makeup."
“…”
"Your Majesty, you may not know this, but even when the spirit was being worshipped in the Jiyan Palace, the concubines in each palace still dressed up."
"oh?"
"They just look plain. Actually, I heard they got up an hour or two earlier to have someone dress them up."
“…”
"Only you, my lady, are so honest and went there without any makeup on."
“…”
"It's the same as usual. They're either wearing blue or green. Everyone else is wearing red or green, just waiting to outdo you!"
Nan Yan blinked.
Unexpectedly, Ruoshui said so much at once, which shows that she is really worried about herself.
Nan Yan looked at her and just smiled.
Seeing how seriously worried she was, yet she was still smiling and acting completely unconcerned, Ruoshui also became angry and pouted, "Your Majesty, do you think what I said is wrong?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "That's right, and it's not right."
"What's the meaning?"
"You asked me to take out the style of the imperial concubine and pay attention to my clothes and makeup. This is naturally not wrong."
"What this servant said is correct. Women dress up to please themselves!"
"But, does something like this really work?"
"Well……"
"If the Emperor truly cares about appearance, then even if I attract his attention with my brightly colored clothes and exquisite makeup, when we face each other, at such a close distance, no amount of rouge or powder can hide the wrinkles and spots on my face."
“…”
“When two people truly get along, what comes into view is the human soul and wisdom.”
“…”
"If I had no brains, no knowledge, and was dull in speech, and only served blindly, then even if I were beautiful, the Emperor would get tired of me after spending a while with me and exchanging a few words."
“…”
"It's good for women to dress themselves up, but underneath the beautiful makeup lies something more important."
Hearing this, Ruoshui couldn't help but nodded.
She murmured, "Every time the Emperor comes to visit, he likes to chat with you. He can chat for most of the day, sometimes even in the middle of the night. I can still hear you two chatting when I'm outside."
Nan Yan glared at her.
But I couldn't help laughing.
She continued, "As for age... Actually, I've never been shy about it. After all, the Emperor is almost ten years older than me."
“…”
"You may think that being young is your capital, but everyone will grow old. Unless you leave home right now and die, no one can escape this day."
“…”
"I have never thought that youth is an asset and that old age is useless."
Ruoshui heard this and immediately said, "Then why did Her Majesty just say that Concubine Yao and the others were young, and that everyone wanted to be fresh and lively?"
Nan Yan glared at her again.
"How come you couldn't remember what I said normally? But now, I remember every word clearly."
Ruoshui chuckled.
Nan Yan poked her forehead with curiosity and amusement before saying, "Everyone likes freshness; it's human nature. Even I like to look at young and beautiful people. This is human nature."
“…”
"But nature is one thing, and human nature is another."
“…”
"It's human nature to like freshness, but it's human nature to know that behind freshness there are more valuable things in people that are worth holding on to."
“…”
"How to do it depends on whether the person is an animal or a person."
Ruoshui could understand the first part of what was said, but the words that Nanyan said later were a little too difficult for her to understand.
After pondering for a long time, she finally said, "What the Queen said is that people need to practice cultivation."
“…”
"Cultivate all the vulgar habits in your body, and what you establish is a good character."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Well, your words are quite concise."
Ruoshui also smiled, but said: "This is not what I said, but what my master often told me."
"Your master?"
Nan Yan was stunned. Xu Miaoming?
Did she also say these words to Ruoshui?
But it's also true that she was originally a cultivator, so naturally she pays attention to cultivation. No wonder Ruoshui, after entering the palace for some time, has become much more lively and more thoughtful than before, but has never learned bad things.
It seems that the master also laid a good foundation for her.
So he smiled and said, "Your master's words are good advice. Think about it more. It will benefit you."
Ruoshui nodded obediently.
At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps outside. They stopped at the door. Then, Tingfu knocked on the door softly and said, "My Lady?"
Nan Yan looked up and nodded at Ruoshui.
Ruoshui immediately went over and opened the door for him. Tingfu hurried in and bowed to Nanyan.
Nan Yan asked, "What's the matter?"
Tingfu glanced at Ruoshui, then said to Nanyan, "I just heard that the emperor only stayed at Jingyixuan for a while and has now returned to his bedroom to rest."
"oh?"
Before Nan Yan could say anything, Ruo Shui opened her eyes wide and asked, "Did the Emperor go back alone?"
Tingfu said: "Of course."
Ruoshui laughed immediately.
Nan Yan lay on the couch, watching the two of them arguing fiercely, and she also laughed.
It seems that Tingfu knew that Ruoshui would come in and tell him that the emperor went to Jingyixuan, and he was afraid that he would be so angry that he couldn't sleep at night, so he went to inquire again. When he learned that Zhu Feng returned to the palace alone and did not stay in Jingyixuan, he came to report it immediately.
In fact, I don’t really care.
Instead, they are busy as hell.
At this time, Nan Yan believed a saying, "You have no choice". Although she didn't care much about that matter, she had already reached the position of imperial concubine. Even if she didn't care, the people around her would care.
Being urged by them like this, I couldn't help but care.
She just smiled bitterly in her heart.
Then she said, "Alright, I understand. You should stop following the Emperor around all day long. Be careful if someone finds out. If they tell the Emperor, you will be punished!"
"yes."
Nan Yan then yawned - somehow, after hearing this news, she seemed to feel relieved.
Once your defenses are let down, you feel sleepy.
She ordered, "Help me wash up, I'm going to sleep."
"yes."
