Concubine Li held a small jar of makeup powder mixed with rouge in her hand, her face red with anger. "What does this mean? Are you disgusted by the quality of my things and want to ruin them?"
Su Man said good-temperedly, "The color of this jar of makeup powder is too white. I just want to mix it with rouge. If you don't believe me, try it. Doesn't the color look better?"
Concubine Li looked doubtful.
Sure enough, her skin was white with a rosy glow, a hundred times more beautiful than the previous pale color.
Concubine Li was so amazed that she completely forgot that she was angry just now, and pulled Su Man to try again and again.
Afterwards, she said embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, I was too reckless just now."
Her attitude just now was enough for Su Man to punish her by demoting her.
Su Man smiled and tucked her hair. "I know you didn't mean what you said. In front of others, for the sake of the Queen's face, I have to argue with you. But behind others, we are sisters, and I won't be angry."
“…”
Concubine Li opened her mouth in vain, but didn't know what to say.
Normally, Guman would use the etiquette and palace rules to pressure her, but she would argue with Guman.
But now, Su Man said frankly that she just didn't want to lose face, and she actually realized how difficult it was for Su Man to come.
She hesitated and said, "From now on, I will not argue with you in front of others."
Perhaps fearing a loss of face, she added, "I'm not afraid of you, it's just, it's just..."
Su Man continued, "It's just to save my face. I know that."
Concubine Li was happy. The girl's bright beauty penetrated the heavy concubine's dress, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.
...
That night
Murong Hong invited Concubine Li to sleep with him.
Under normal circumstances, Concubine Li would have been eager to announce it to the world, but today she had just learned several makeup techniques from Su Man and was about to try them out.
For the first time since entering the palace, she thought, it would be great if she didn't have to serve the emperor.
This negative emotion also made Murong Hong feel that something was wrong.
He thought that Concubine Li was unhappy because of the quarrel with Su Man during the day. After making love, he hugged Concubine Li and said, "Li'er, I have always valued you, you know, but I have to take into account the rules of the palace and let you down."
“…”
If Murong Hong said this on normal days, Concubine Li would be touched, but at this moment she couldn't help but compare the Queen with the Emperor.
It is obvious that the Queen would never say anything about rules or regulations in private, so the Emperor is too pretentious.
So she perfunctorily said, "Your Majesty, please go to bed early. You have to attend court early tomorrow."
After saying that, she went to sleep on her own.
Concubine Li was sleeping well, but Murong Hong couldn't sleep. He was suspicious by nature. Seeing that Concubine Li was treating him badly, he couldn't help but think that maybe he had done something to Concubine Li's family recently that caused their dissatisfaction.
He tossed and turned and didn't fall asleep until three o'clock in the morning.
