Chapter 65: Masks in the Eyes of Bad People
"Don't say that... that anymore. When I came in, he was already walking out of the East Palace. If you don't come up with a solution, I'm afraid things will get very troublesome once my father leaves the East Palace."
Chu Qinshu pretended to be anxious.
In fact, the flow of time in space is much faster than that in the outside world.
After all, the fact that the durian was still in flower on the first day and ripe on the second day is proof.
However, I don’t know whether Xiao Hulu has become accustomed to lying down or has forgotten about this.
I have never mentioned it to her.
"Okay, okay, Master, wait for Little Gourd."
The little gourd became anxious, turned its back and started rummaging in the gourd's belly.
He was still muttering as he dug.
"Invisibility? ...No, no, if you only see the body but not the head, you'll be mistaken for a monster."
"Disguise? ...No, what if the old emperor really thinks his face can't be healed? Sheng Anguo will still be in trouble..."
"Let's use Huanyan, one of his current masks, and one of his demon masks."
Chu Qinshu listened to what Xiao Hulu said and couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands and laugh secretly.
She knew that Xiao Hulu was easy to fool.
Look, its precious talisman was stolen in one go.
Having talismans is much easier than making masks.
"Well, this is the Illusion Face Talisman. Just stick it on your father's face and it will disappear. People on the righteous side will see him as the mask he is in now, while people with evil intentions will see him as the mask of a demon. And the more evil the intention, the scarier the mask will look to them."
The little gourd reluctantly handed the talisman to Chu Qinshu. Chu Qinshu took it, but it refused to let go.
In the end, in the tug-of-war between the two, the master's side won the final victory.
Chu Qinshu quickly regained consciousness and quickly pasted the talisman on Chu Chengyi's face.
Chu Chengyi had no idea that a talisman had been pasted on him, and he thought that Chu Qinshu had fallen asleep and waved her hands in her dream.
"Is Shu'er awake or not?"
He was about to gently put Chu Qinshu's little hand back into the swaddling clothes when he saw her staring at him with bright eyes.
“Ah~”
[Shu'er is not asleep. Shu'er is putting a mask on Daddy. Hmm~ I wonder how scary the mask will be when those bad guys see it? ]
Chu Qinshu saw that Chu Chengyi was still wearing the mask, but she was looking forward to the Queen and the Imperial Master's reactions when they saw him.
"Ah~~~Ah, ghost~"
Chu Chengyi was wondering what his daughter meant when he was interrupted by a sudden scream.
"Who is making the noise?"
Chu Chengyi said coldly.
"In reply...in reply...to your Highness, I am...I am the concubine Yuan."
On the side of the road, two people, a master and a servant, were kneeling and trembling.
Chu Chengyi had no idea who sent this concubine Yuan to the Eastern Palace or how many years she had stayed there.
In the past, he always valued peace, and would rarely take the initiative to reject the goodwill of his brothers or court officials.
Therefore, whenever someone sent a concubine into the palace, he would ask Yu Jinyi to register her and arrange accommodation for her.
But he never had any contact with them and just treated them as useless maids.
"Tell me, why are you making so much noise?"
Chu Chengyi asked again.
Looking at the reaction of Concubine Yuan, he began to understand what Chu Qinshu meant.
"Your servant... Your servant was frightened by your mask, Your Highness. Please spare my life, Your Highness. This was not intentional. This was the first time I saw Your Highness wearing such a mask, and I was a little overwhelmed for a moment, so..."
Concubine Yuan kowtowed like crazy, fearing that Chu Chengyi would get angry and have someone drag her down and beat her to death.
Lin Fu and Qiu Wang looked at each other in bewilderment.
Is this concubine Yuan not very smart?
Your Highness's mask is obviously very nice looking, so why is it scary?
"Can you describe how scary my mask is?"
Chu Chengyi was also curious about the mask that his daughter gave him, which could change his appearance.
Well, it's good for scaring bad guys.
"I dare not say it."
Concubine Yuan was still crawling on the ground, not daring to raise her head.
[This concubine named Yuan is not as timid as she looks. She even helped Concubine Yue steal the evidence of Jingzhou corruption case from her father's study.]
Chu Qinshu was also very curious about her father's evil ghost mask, so she didn't say anything and only complained a few words in her heart.
Although the East Palace is not leaking like a sieve, it is still leaky.
There are also several eyeliner nails inserted by various forces.
"You can say whatever you want. Where does this nonsense come from?"
Chu Chengyi's voice became even colder and harder, as if he was going to torture the person kneeling on the ground in the next moment.
"Yes... I heard that your Highness's mask has a green face and fangs, and... it also has a long blood-red tongue hanging from it."
Concubine Yuan didn't know why Xiaochu Chengyi insisted that she describe what the mask looked like.
I can't understand why he would wear such a mask on such a festive day.
After she finished speaking, she still crawled on the ground, waiting for Chu Chengyi's anger.
"Come here, lock up Concubine Yuan in the dungeon and keep her under strict guard."
After Chu Chengyi gave the order, the guards came forward and dragged the master and servant away.
And they continued to walk towards the Tiantan.
"Your Highness, I was sent by the Bo's Mansion. You cannot treat me like this."
Concubine Yuan's cries kept repeating, but the sound was getting farther and farther away.
At this moment, Chu Chengyi couldn't even remember which Bo's Mansion she was talking about.
I thought I would ask Yu Jinyi to check the list when I have time.
However, from what Chu Qinshu said just now, the family that sent this concubine Yuan into the Eastern Palace was most likely related to Concubine Yue and the prefect of Jingzhou.
......
They arrived at the altar smoothly, and as expected, they saw the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, Master Jingkong, standing with Emperor Yongping.
The two of them whispered from time to time, but no one knew what they were talking about.
The Imperial Master stood respectfully behind Master Jingkong, not saying a word, and was as well-behaved as a real big white flour bun.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Little Princess have arrived."
Lin Fu walked up to Emperor Yongping and whispered respectfully.
It is an important place for prayer, with strict rules and regulations.
Especially when there are senior monks present, there cannot be any mistakes.
"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Master Jingkong, there is no need to be polite."
Master Jingkong and Chu Chengyi greeted each other before turning their gaze towards the baby in Chu Chengyi's arms.
"Your Highness, can you let me hold the little princess?"
Master Jingkong has kind eyes and a smiling face.
His long snow-white eyebrows and beard fluttered gently in the wind, his round and full forehead was slightly prominent, his eyes were gentle and bright, his ears were thick at the tips and had long earlobes.
It's like the reincarnation of a living being.
However, Shouxing seems to be a Taoist, so he probably won’t be reincarnated into a Buddhist sect.
Chu Qinshu, who was still in Chu Chengyi's arms, saw Master Jingkong's appearance clearly and her thoughts began to go astray.
"It's what I want."
As Chu Chengyi spoke, he carefully handed the swaddling clothes to Master Jingkong.
"Hahahaha, great, that's great."
Master Jingkong took the swaddling clothes and after seeing Qinshu's little face clearly, he burst into laughter.
