Qingchuan History

Chapter 16 The Danger of Bullying the King
Yunxi was completely stunned, even with all her brainpower, she couldn't figure out the logic of these two sentences.

Ruan Xueyin rested her chin on her right hand, her thoughts seemed to have gone elsewhere, but she continued very clearly:

"The best way to know yourself and the enemy is not to know what the other party has done, but to find out what kind of person the other party is. The things you report in the past on a regular basis are all matters. Of course, these are also very important; but, it is like two people playing chess. I have already made a move, and I can have several choices for this move, and the outcome of each move will not be determined immediately, because it is not the time. He also knows this very well. So this move itself does not matter. It doesn't matter much, the key lies in where I will choose to land, and the position where I land is the path I choose. And the choice shows the essence of a person."

Yunxi seemed to understand, but looked at Ruan Xueyin with eager eyes.

"So if I don't find out, it's fine. After all, the things you reported back are always useful; if I find out, it's not a bad thing, it's even better. Will I expose you, when will I expose you, and will I use you to turn against you?" One army will expose my purpose, behavior style, level of resourcefulness, and who I am to a certain extent. In any case, he will gain something, and the latter will even gain more.”

Yunxi digested this passage carefully, felt a little bit as if struck by lightning, and immediately felt wronged,

"Then why didn't your lord tell me in advance?"

"You are a solid person, I told you, can you still act in this play? Even if it is a play that you know and I know, you have to do enough ostentation, and you have to be decent when you move and speak."

Yunxi was completely speechless, and felt that she should be a follower in a down-to-earth manner. These thoughts are really impossible to learn.

"But ma'am," she has been wanting to ask since the beginning of the conversation, and finally couldn't help it until now: "What are you using? Why is it so appropriate? I didn't even see it." She pointed to herself cheek.

Ruan Xueyin smiled slightly: "Didn't you turn over my suitcase? There are several black jade porcelain bottles that smell like flowers but not medicine, and that is it."

She also knew that Yunxi Weicheng wanted to rummage through the box, and she wanted to cry without tears: "I really didn't hide anything from you. But, how can there be such a magical thing that can perfectly blend with the skin, just like the natural skin color ? And those two red marks—"

Like Jing Tingge, Ruan Xueyin never answered any questions about Pengxi Mountain, especially those involving teachers.She turned around:
"Actually, it's not that natural. It's just that the first impression is very important, and people's preconceived ideas are also very important. Everyone thought it would be my eighth sister, but it turned out not to be disappointed. It is easy to assume that the sixth princess is not good-looking, at least compared to the few who came, she must be mediocre."

She spoke smoothly and calmly, as if she was talking about someone else's business.

"Then I have a dark complexion and scars on my face. It's not so difficult to accept, and it can even be logical. And on the first day I enter the palace, I will look like this when I appear in front of everyone, unless your lord is special. Pay attention to me, who would suspect that there is something wrong with my skin color or scars? Suspects are all suspected, and without doubts, it is not easy to find flaws."

She stood up and walked to the mirror to look at her face seriously. "Actually, every time I finish painting, I feel very unnatural. How can a person with naturally dark skin be this dark? Shen Ji is not. And I only painted the parts that would be exposed, which is actually not safe. Several times , I suspect that you have already found out."

She stopped examining, turned her head to look at Yunxi again,

"But your lord is really powerful. He hasn't seen me much. Those two times were far away. I guess he didn't even remember my appearance. He still thought of me."

After all, it's already gone, Yunxi thought to himself, there's nothing he can't say, so he said:
"Speaking of which, it should be Madam's clothes that pissed off Lou Zi. Although your majesty didn't say anything to the servants, but from the meaning of Mr. Diyan, you should think that Madam is a delicate person, how can she wear clothes that are so unsuitable for me? color, and those gorgeous dresses, as if deliberately making myself look bad."

Ruan Xueyin sighed, "Yeah, deliberateness is the problem. It's my lack of actual combat experience, so it's superfluous."

"But now it seems that these clothes look really good on Madam." Yunxi stood up, looking at the beautiful woman under the peach pink light shirt in front of the mirror, her eyes were full of beauty.

However, Ruan Xueyin shook her head: "It's too bright, and I'm really uncomfortable wearing it. Anyway, from tomorrow onwards, I don't need to act in this play. You can take these dresses. If you think there are too many, you can distribute them to other palace people in the palace. You can also wear them during New Years and festivals." Wear it. If you are afraid of others' comments, just change the style a little bit."

Yunxi was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing how to refuse, and then thought of a more important thing: "Madam, what do you mean, will you show your true colors to others?"

Ruan Xueyin said seriously: "I always show my true face. Look at my appearance, has there been any change? For some reason, my skin color turned dark earlier, and I was injured, so I have scars on my face, and it will recover after I take care of it slowly. .”

Yun Xi was stunned for a moment and then again.

"Don't worry, I don't want you to use these words to deceive your lord. You dare not deceive the lord, and neither do I. These words are said to the outside world, and they may not be very convincing. Let me think again."

After hearing these words, Diyan didn't buy it.

It was the afternoon of the second day, and the shape of the leaves of the phoenix tree came in with the sunlight, and was slightly squeezed and deformed by the window lattice of the Turning Lan Temple.Standing in the hall, Yunxi finished talking about the whole process in high spirits, emphasizing the words that made her admire her, completely ignoring Diyan's brilliant face.

"No, Your Majesty," he turned his head, a little angrily:

"Isn't this considered deceiving the emperor? Isn't this counted?"

Gu Xinglang is in a good mood at the moment, I don't know if it is affected by Yunxi's beaming eyebrows.But he did find it interesting, the whole thing was very interesting.It's been a long time since anything interesting happened to him.

"People have said that she already looks like this, her facial features haven't changed, but because of some reason her complexion has darkened and left scars, it will be fine if she keeps it." He took a sip of the tea in the white jade cup, expressing Leisurely, I looked at the sunlight outside the window and felt that the weather was fine.

"How can it be healed overnight? The scars can be removed with some magical medicine. Even if the skin is tanned, it will take several months to get back to white!"

Gu Xinglang was speechless when he saw that he was so stubborn:
"For you, it is overnight. How many people in this palace have actually seen her? Even if many people have seen her, there are rumors about her appearance in the palace. If from today, she will be closed If she stays out of the house and does not let anyone see her, who will notice that her skin color has changed and her scars are gone? She will not show up at the Tianlong Festival banquet next month, and she will bring up these remarks even if they are slightly absurd. Her appearance has not changed, so who can say that she is deceiving the emperor?"

It turns out that there is a reason why Madam does not socialize with others, rarely shows up in the palace, and even tries to take small paths for walks before.

Just to prevent this day.Yunxi smiled unconsciously.
