My concubine is so good at curling

Chapter 60 The Bloody Score (Two in One)

"Come and serve Ben Gong to change clothes."

the queen said slowly.

This sentence was originally given to the maids of the palace, but the palace people in Jianzhang Palace have too good rules, and the whole bedroom is extremely quiet. Jiang Xian heard it from the outside, and happily responded: "Good lady, the concubine will come to serve you soon." Madam, change clothes."

Isn't it just changing clothes?
If you can change for the emperor, why not change for the queen.

When the other court ladies heard this, they also thought that the queen was letting Gu Guiren come in to serve her, so they didn't stop her from coming in.

Jiang Xian removed the little pitiful aura she had in front of the emperor before, and only used the fan filter - this thing is not very useful to other concubines, because they are all full of malice towards her, and it would be good without the "black fan" filter , and give her a fan filter?Dreaming.

This time the fan filter took effect on the queen, and she saw Gu Guiren walking in with a radiant face. When she entered the door, it was against the morning light, and the morning light painted a golden border on her body, and her clear and bright eyes greeted her with a smile. , It is a mental outlook that she has never had before.

Queen: "... get up."

For some reason, the queen felt even more tired when she saw Gu Guiren who was full of energy.

She is like a tired college student tortured by the early eighth class. She is incredulous to Juan Wang, who is also in the early eighth class but is energetic: "I originally asked Fu Jin to serve me. I want you to wait outside for a while."

Serving the queen is humiliating to the high-minded concubines.

It is definitely not happy to be like a concubine.

For low-ranking concubines, it's flattering, but the queen has a gentle temperament. She never thinks it is their honor to be served by others, but she is not a pioneer of equal rights who is at the forefront of the times. If she is willing, she will not force her and give her a chance to repent.

"It's boring to wait outside, it's better to come in and serve the empress. Don't worry, the emperor has praised his courtiers and concubines for being careful and considerate."

Jiang Xian deliberately mentioned the emperor to test the other party's reaction.

From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the queen's quiet face, but she didn't see a trace of jealousy on it.

Queen: "The emperor likes you, so I can rest assured."

Queen: "Besides, I also think that you are careful and considerate."

Approval from the president of the harem!
In the workplace, Jiang Xian doesn't deal with female bosses many times, and they are very happy every time-they are often careful, demanding, and care about the overall situation and the small details.The praise from the same sex also gave Jiang Xian a sense of accomplishment.

Leaving aside the heavy clothes, the queen is only a girl in her early twenties, her tender body is bound out of a stable shell by the rules of etiquette.After helping her get dressed, Jiang Xian took over the job of dressing the queen, drawing her eyebrows for her, and applying powder to cover her blemishes and contour her face, making the queen look more energetic than usual.

The maid Fujin was very excited when she saw her:
"Gu Guiren's makeup skills are really amazing."

She is the queen's dowry maid, and she is very close to the queen.

Looking at Fu Jin, the queen who had finished her makeup with Gu Guiren's hands looked much younger, as if she was before she got married.

Jiang Xian said with a smile, "Does your empress like it? If you like it, I will stay and teach your court lady after the greetings."

The principles of contouring and concealing are inseparable from modern art.

Ancient freehand brushwork does not emphasize three-dimensionality and light and shade, and the makeup is relatively flat. At most, blush is used to smudge the mood of a girl with pink cheeks and red cheeks.
There is also Yan Chichao's popular "dizzy eyebrows", which also means that the edges of the eyebrows are fainted upwards a little.

After all, the makeup powder is white and has no flesh color.

It is too difficult to achieve a very natural contouring effect, but a little modification, especially in concealing fatigue, is much better than usual.

"You don't hide your secrets."

The queen was moved: "Which girl in the harem hides the secret recipe of becoming beautiful so hard, you are lucky, I haven't asked you, you have told me everything."

Ever since Jiang Xian became favored, the queen has heard many rumors.

It was said that she was extremely resourceful and won over the emperor in all directions.

It is said that she has a vicious mind, even the imperial concubine is not her opponent.

It is said that she is narrow-minded and holds grudges, and she will retaliate a hundredfold to anyone who is rude to her.

Now the empress looked her up and down, the more she looked at her, the more she felt that Jiang Xian was born extremely beautiful, and she was pure, kind and innocent, not as ugly as the imperial concubine said... Yes, whoever wins the emperor's favor, the imperial concubine would like to die Well, most of the rumors in the palace came from Rong Xueshi.

"Since entering the palace, except for Chen's promise, the concubine has not met any friends who are sympathetic to her. It is rare for the empress to appreciate it. What is there for the concubine to hide his little knowledge?" Jiang Xian said.

One of the workplace survival experience:

Hold the right leg and stand on the right team.

Looking at the harem, the other concubines are her competitors, they are after the emperor's favor, and they will backstab her at any time.The empress is different, she presides over the middle court for the emperor, and her status is as stable as Mount Tai, so what if she has no children?Whoever is born in the harem has to respect her as a queen mother.

Jiang Xian hadn't made a move before, because she was too far away and didn't know what the queen wanted.

It's clear now.

What the queen needs, is a capable helper.

Jiang Xian was completely satisfied with this point, so she made a bold move and offered her all her best - a capable subordinate is a right-hand man to the boss, as long as she has tasted her goodness once, she dares to guarantee that the empress will never be able to leave her again .

Nanjuan, the queen's maid of honor, was not happy when she heard this.

How can Chen promise to be compared to the majestic mother of a country?
After hearing this, the queen gave Jiang Xian a high opinion.

The queen could see that Jiang Xian intended to win over her, which was not a bad thing. It is normal for people to interact with each other based on interests, and when she surrendered, she did not completely forget Chen promise, on the contrary, she could see this. People value friendship and can deal with each other: "But not everyone thinks like you, Nan Juan, go and get that tourmaline bracelet."

Soon, Nanjuan brought back a brocade box.

Opening the brocade box, there is a bright pink tourmaline bracelet inside, with a gold-carved buckle in the middle, the color is translucent and attractive, and the gold buckle is also exquisitely crafted, at least it is above the imperial concubine, or someone with a strong family background like Guo Cairen owned.

The queen put it on for her herself: "Take this as a meeting gift from the palace. In the future, you will come to Jianzhang Palace as a guest. You are born beautiful, but you can't help being extravagant. Dress up more gorgeously. The emperor will like it when he sees you."

After all, it is the relationship between the queen and the concubine. Even if the queen knows that Jiang Xian is short of money, she can't just say "I will work in Jianzhang Palace in the future, and the salary will be favorable".Come to her palace often, how can I get less rewards?There are too many good things in Jianzhang Palace, and the queen doesn't use them very much.

Since she is the mother of the dynasty, she is also a noble daughter of heaven.

Concubine Rong, who was of the same background as the empress, would never wear a piece of clothing for more than the third time, but her homely clothes were half-new palace clothes with dark purple and dark cloud patterns. It is plain silver again, simple and generous.

Dongzhu is the queen's status symbol.

Even so, it can be seen from the details that none of the accessories on the Queen's body are new.Concubine Rong, on the other hand, must be full of jewels every time she appears on the stage, and there is nothing to insert on her head. If it is discounted, she will wear a Beijing courtyard house every day, and a Tangchen Yipin on each wrist. Let ordinary people realize the freedom of wealth.

Jiang Xian had a panoramic view of all these.

Is it that the queen can't afford it?
No, the queen no longer needs to use these to prove her dignity.The emperor and the empress are one, the empress is simple and frugal, and it is also the emperor's good name that spreads.

"If the empress does not dislike the concubine, the concubine will come to bother you more."

Jiang Xian took the tourmaline bracelet and put it on happily.

■

Today Jianzhang Palace greeted you, and many people glanced at Jiang Xian.

Many concubines already knew about her staying in Jianzhang Palace.

Especially Concubine Rong, she stretched her neck expecting the emperor to go to Jianzhang Palace to have a big fight with the empress, but unexpectedly, she only waited for the news that the emperor was sleeping alone in Weiyang Palace, everything was calm.

Goodbye queen today...

It's so radiant!Dark circles are gone!

In the past, when the queen accepted everyone's greetings, even with a faint smile on her face, the tiredness in her eyes could not be concealed.If it were someone else, it might be lonely and haggard who has not been favored for a long time, but the queen?On the second day when the emperor stayed in Jianzhang Palace on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, she was not only exhausted, but her face collapsed directly.

Double overtime work is really not done by humans.

As a result, Jiang Xian went to her palace to sleep for a day, she was not sleepy anymore, she became more energetic, and even had the energy to accept the concubine's greetings.

"The concubine heard that Gu Guiren stayed in the empress's Jianzhang Palace yesterday, this is probably against the rules." Concubine Rong took the lead in attacking.

"It's just that the main hall is not allowed to live in concubines. This palace has already ordered people to clean up the side halls. No need to worry about the concubine."

This rule is also to fear that the emperor will do absurd things like visiting other concubines in the empress's main hall.

Concubine Rong refused to let her go, and turned her head to stare at Jiang Xian: "The queen is tolerant, but Gu Guiren can't rely on this little behavior to be shameless, and go so far as to live in the queen's Jianzhang Palace."

"Return to your mother's words,"

Jiang Xian got up to reply, with a respectful smile on her face: "The concubine did not stay in Jianzhang Palace, the imperial concubine misunderstood."

"Oh?"

Concubine Rong raised her eyebrows and sneered at her: "Gu Guiren is so bold that he dared to lie to me. Empress, if you don't punish me for doing this, it's a complete violation of the rules!"

It seems that Jiang Shi is really spoiled!

The emperor doted on her, and Chu Siyun kept her by his side as if bewitched.

Could it be that he saw himself falling out of favor, so he thought of promoting Jiang Shi to be his favorite, so let's borrow his belly to have a child!
Forget it, if she finally caught Jiang's braid and lied in front of the imperial concubine, it would be fair to slap her mouth hard!
Concubine Rong thought maliciously.

"The concubine did not lie."

Jiang Xian said again: "The concubine just stays in Jianzhang Palace for the night, but if the concubine doesn't sleep, it doesn't count as staying in Jianzhang Palace."

"..."

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

After all, it is rare for a concubine to stay up all night.

The queen was also surprised - she didn't know that Jiang Shi didn't sleep.

"Last night, after the concubine served the queen to sleep, she studied knowledge and did exercises in the side hall, and then went to the study to read the queen's collection of books. She didn't dare to rest in Jianzhang Palace," Jiang Xian said: "In The maids who watch the night outside the side hall can testify, have the concubines been making any movement in the house?"

The noble concubine cast her sharp eyes on the maid beside the queen.

The queen nodded slightly: "Call Yi Zhi out."

Yi Zhi was the maid who kept vigil at the side hall of Jianzhang Palace last night. After she was called out, she tried her best not to be shaken into a sieve. She replied tremblingly: "Servants see you ladies."

Yi Zhi knelt on the ground, the imperial concubine asked coldly: "You were guarding the side hall last night, did you hear any movement inside?"

"Going back to the imperial concubine, when the servants were on guard at night, I did hear Gu Guiren running and jumping inside, and I could feel the movement of beating on the floor through the doors and windows..."

The sound insulation of ancient houses is about equal to none.

The main hall is far away from the side hall, so this little movement will not disturb the queen, so Jiang Xian let herself go, practicing and dancing.

Yi Zhi then replied: "I still mutter some, some things from time to time..."

Concubine: "What are you talking about?"

"What... Hufa Tiao Dan Li, Mo Shu Li, Dian You, Ci Lin, Gun Zhu Zhu Cheng..." Because she had no idea what these groups of words meant, some of Yi Zhi's pronunciations were not standard, The more she spoke, the more frightened she became, and she kowtowed her head: "This servant can't hear clearly, and can't remember well."

After this round, everyone was at a loss.

Speaking of this, Concubine Rong somewhat believed Jiang Shi and she didn't sleep.

After all, if it's just to cover up Jiang's lies, Yi Zhi can make up a more reasonable process.Anyway, people are in Jianzhang Palace, Concubine Rong really didn't put nails in it, she has no witnesses, now it's all about intimidation.

So she changed the direction of the attack: "Gu Guiren chanted strange words that no one understood in Jianzhang Palace, but did he do evil things?"

The queen's face changed slightly.

The harem is very taboo about witchcraft and evil worship.

Regardless of whether there is definite evidence or not, the concubine's crazy behavior can easily be labeled as a monster.

Facing Concubine Rong's questioning, Jiang Xian responded calmly: "The imperial concubine has misunderstood again. The concubine is not doing evil things, but is studying the chime bell of Luanqiku! The correct way to say it is that the spring force, friction force, Oil, gears and ball bearings."

When Westerners presented the self-ringing bell, they also attached some usages, which were recorded by literate translators and stored together with the objects in the Luanqi Library.

Jiang Xian took that record, combined with systematic education courses, and taught herself to disassemble and repair.

Read it out, just to aid memory.

After all, the courses with relatively low fees in the system require Jiang Xian to spend time and energy on learning in person, instead of purchasing knowledge that emerges in her mind, she naturally races against time to absorb knowledge. Not willing to let the opportunity of learning slip away from his hands, he simply didn't sleep.

Anyway, she is in good health.

Speaking of this, Concubine Rong has already believed three points.

Because her elder brother often dealt with foreigners, sometimes new things were mentioned in the letters. What Jiang Xian said, she vaguely remembered that her elder brother mentioned it, but she was not interested.Now that she knew what she was telling the truth, there was no need to doubt it.

It's just that Rong Guifei couldn't believe it: "Gu Guiren, don't you sleep at all?"

Jiang Xian felt that explaining to her was superfluous.

So he brought up the nonsense that he said in Zhaoyang Palace last time: "Have you forgotten, my lord? The concubine has a passion for it!"

The imperial concubine's face immediately turned green.

　I think it’s too much for Marie Sue to be the heroine when writing an article, and I have a more sense of substitution for the supporting roles of salted fish...
