Si Jin tossed Xiao Yao back into her sea of consciousness, then turned to look at the doorway. "Come in."
As soon as she finished speaking, a middle-aged palace maid who looked like an aunt slowly entered.
This person's name is Qingzhu, and she was the original owner's personal maid.
At the same time, she was also a spy planted by Consort Li next to the original owner.
Consort Li was an illegitimate daughter of the Wangyue clan, and she and the original owner of the body were siblings from the same mother.
Because divination skills were highly valued, and because of their blood relation to the original owner of the body, they were often ridiculed by others.
Over time, Consort Li Yue Sizhu came to regard the original owner's useless brother as the only stain on her glorious life, and wished she could get rid of him as soon as possible.
Qingzhu was her confidante, and she often helped Yue Sizhu observe the original owner's whereabouts and play tricks on her.
Now, Qingzhu is dressed in plain black clothes, walking with a brisk pace, exuding arrogance.
As he walked, he casually reminded her:
"Your Majesty, what time is it? You just woke up? The Empress and the ladies of the various palaces are already waiting outside the hall to pay their respects to you. Why don't you go out now?"
"If I keep you ladies waiting for too long, and the Emperor blames you, can you bear the consequences?"
After hearing what she said, Si Jin couldn't help but laugh.
Listen to this, the original owner of this body was the Empress Dowager!
It is perfectly reasonable to make the concubines wait a while, so why should they have to bear the consequences themselves?
That's true, the original owner of this body has just turned twenty.
In the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the youngest empress dowager was thirty-five years old.
He didn't get his current position through merit.
It was a ridiculous and absurd decision made by Xiang Yinghan to satisfy his own selfish desires.
An empress dowager of a nation who has never even seen the phoenix seal, what makes her worthy of respect?
Si Jin's smile didn't fade. Instead, she sat down in front of the bronze mirror and calmly gave the instructions:
"Let's begin getting ready."
Qingzhu suddenly stopped moving, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, and looked at Sijin in disbelief:
What did you say?
"Your Majesty, what time is it? Are you still thinking about getting ready?"
"By the time you finish your makeup, all the ladies will have lost their patience."
"Besides, no offense, but have you forgotten your identity because you've been wearing women's clothes so much?"
"You're a man! A man should act like a man. What's the point of dressing up every day?! It's disgusting to look at. How could the Emperor like that?!"
You'd better get out of here!
Qingzhu unleashed a torrent of curses, feeling exceptionally refreshed.
She thought Si Jin would, as before, quietly shed a few tears because of her grievances.
Once Si Jin cries, I can then claim credit with Consort Li again.
Anyway, Consort Li's task for her was to ostracize Yue Sijin.
As long as Yue Sijin is unhappy, the Empress is happy.
When the Empress is happy, she will naturally reward you handsomely.
However, Si Jin seemed not to have heard her words.
The young man remained elegantly seated before the bronze mirror, taking out the available rouge and powder, and methodically applying his makeup.
However, he did not dress up as a woman.
Instead, she drew on sword-shaped eyebrows to cover up her slightly sallow complexion caused by lack of sleep.
Gradually, a handsome and dashing young man is depicted.
The original owner was naturally very beautiful, but because she lived in the palace for a long time, her beautiful eyebrows were shaved off and forcibly drawn on by the palace maids.
From then on, the young man's youthful arrogance was shattered, and he was locked away behind high walls.
When Qingzhu saw Sijin tie her black hair into a high ponytail and then secure it with a white jade crown, she was stunned for a moment.
Yue Sijin, is she really this beautiful?
