imperial psychologist

Chapter 116

"Tell her what happened here, there's no need to do anything else." Bai Yi said softly, "And I probably won't be able to enter the palace anytime soon..."

Before he finished speaking, the two Jinyi guards behind him stepped forward and lightly hit Bai Yi's shoulder with the handle of a knife, probably warning him not to take the opportunity to whisper anything.

Bo Ling let go, and took a step back, "Then take care of yourself."

"Yeah." Bai Yi nodded, "You too."

From the Imperial Hospital to the Chengqian Palace, it would take about half an hour to walk slowly, but today Bai Ling pretended to be busy, and walked at such a fast pace that he actually felt a little sweaty.

In Chengqian Palace, people came in and out, and the imperial concubine had just begun her bathing today because she did not wake up in the morning.

"What time is it?" Qu asked.

"It's not long after noon." Baoyuan replied, "Don't worry, empress, the evening garden party will be at You hour."

"Oh." Qu's eyes fell, "That's true... where is Bo Ling?"

"Should I still pray for incense in the imperial garden today? I saw her go out early in the morning."

"Thank you for her hard work."

Baoyuan suddenly laughed, "Your Majesty, don't feel sorry for her. The servant asked me in private, and she said that she doesn't like places with many people, and it's more comfortable to be alone."

"It's really childish." Qu Shi laughed.

"No," Baoyuan said with a smile, "I asked her yesterday if she wanted someone to help her set up a simple tent in the place where she prayed for incense, and she didn't want it either, so she urged me to quickly furnish her small room. So she can move out of my room with Grandma Shu's."

Zheng Shu glanced at Baoyuan with a smile, "You're not very old, but you have a lot of things to do."

"Go call her back, it's time, and it's time to come back." Qu said softly.

Baoyuan nodded in response, walked out of the palace gate, and was about to walk in the direction of the imperial garden, when he saw Bo Ling's shadow approaching from a distance.

As soon as she waved her hand, she felt that Bai Ling's expression was a little depressed today.

"What's the matter?" When Bai Ling approached, Baoyuan stepped forward and asked, "Who bullied you? Why are you sweating profusely..."

"Well... I'm leaving the palace."

Bo Ling raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but his hair was already soaked with sweat, so wiping it like this would not help.

"Leaving the palace!?" Bao Yuan was shocked, "How did you get out?"

Bai Ling smiled, and had no choice but to take out the token given by the Queen Mother and explain again, "Is Sister Baoyuan looking for me?"

"Yes, the empress thinks that you should be ready." Bao Yuan looked away from the token, "It just so happens that you are back, come with me."

With a heavy heart, Bo Ling followed Baoyuan back to the room in Dongpian Hall.

The servants have prepared cold water and towels, and there are three people standing there waiting.This formation surprised Bo Ling slightly, "Is this going to...?"

"Fresh and wash for you, come and sit down."

Bai Ling was pressed in front of the dressing table by Baoyuan, and the palace servants started their work silently.First try to wash the face with ordinary water, and then the two of them held two overlapping white thin cotton threads in their hands, pressed them against Bai Ling's cheeks, and twisted them gently.

The entangled silk thread is missing the hair on the face somewhere, and Bo Ling feels like there are ants gnawing on the face.

"Maybe it hurts a little, bear with it." Baoyuan said aside.

"What is this doing……?"

"I'm opening an interview for you, silly girl, just twist all the thin layer of fluff on your face, so that it will look good when you put on makeup later." Baoyuan said softly, "I took a special look at it last night. , you have grown up so big, no one has opened it for you, right?"

"...No." Bai Ling couldn't move, he could only look at himself in the mirror, whether he made a painful "hiss—" sound.

After the palace servants on both sides finished talking to Bo Ling, Bo Ling immediately covered his face with both hands.

Her cheeks were red and hot due to the pain, but immediately the palace servants at the side handed over two delicate kits.

"Don't use your hands, if it hurts, use this ice compress." Baoyuan said softly, "Don't be afraid, the redness will go away quickly, at most it will fade in an hour."

Bo Ling took it as if he was amnesty, and rolled the cold kit on his face.

"Okay, now turn around and face me." Baoyuan said softly.

Bo Ling turned his head and looked at Baoyuan holding a golden object like an eyebrow knife in his hand, "Is this for...?"

"Brow trimming." Baoyuan said with a smile,

The pain of trimming eyebrows is worse than that of face-opening. It was okay when I used the eyebrow knife at first, but after the rough trimming, Baoyuan took out a bunch of silver tweezers from her small box, one by one. Carefully pluck out the miscellaneous hairs on the eye sockets of Bo Ling.

Where did Bai Ling suffer from such a pain before, he just felt that every one of them hurt like a heart, and he couldn't help not making a sound at first, but after that, he couldn't help but groan every time he pulled one out.

Hearing the end, Baoyuan couldn't bear to strike, "Does it hurt so much?"

"Yeah." Bo Ling nodded with tears in his eyes.

Bao Yuan touched Bai Ling's eyebrows lightly, and said in a low voice, "I myself have to do it every month. It hurts, but it's good to get used to it... You are so afraid of pain, what will you do when you have a baby?"

For a while, Bo Ling couldn't keep up with Bao Yuan's train of thought, so he hummed casually.Taking advantage of Baoyuan's hands stopped at this moment, she quickly rolled the ice kit on her eyebrows.

Although he couldn't look in the mirror, Bo Ling knew that the area around his eyebrows should also be red now.

If she had known that going to this garden party would be such a hassle, she shouldn't have agreed to it last night...

Baoyuan sighed, "At the time when the mother gave birth to A Tuo, she cried all day and all night, it hurts."

Bo Ling shuddered when he heard it.

"Does this scare you?" Baoyuan nuzzled, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, all women have to go through this...me too, what are you talking about?"

Saying that, Bao Yuan continued to bend down to trim Bai Ling's eyebrows.

"When my sister got married, it was I who opened her face and trimmed her eyebrows. She is also as afraid of pain as you are..." Baoyuan stared at the movements of her hands, and her speaking speed slowed down from time to time, " After we got married, we never saw each other again."

"Is Sister Baoyuan's younger sister also in the capital?" Bai Ling asked in a low voice.

"No, she married to Chunyin, a county under the Huizhou government." Baoyuan said softly, "I don't come back once a year. I heard that I gave birth to a baby last year. I haven't seen me like this yet." nephew."

"Oh." Bo Ling nodded, "I can meet you when I have time."

"What are you doing with that money~" Bao Yuan shook her head, "It's not cheap to travel this way."

"..." Bo Ling glanced at Baoyuan in surprise.

As the maid in charge of the empress, even the concubine's most trusted and favorite maid, Bo Ling couldn't imagine that Baoyuan would care about money.

Baoyuan laughed, "Didn't I tell you? My younger brother passed the Tongsheng examination two years ago, and this year he will be a scholar."
