Good luck today

"It's really not a big deal."

The imperial concubine held Su Shixia's hand, with an easy-going appearance talking to her.

"You also know that on the birthday of the sage, in addition to holding a birthday banquet to entertain the ministers, the harem will also hold a banquet to celebrate the sage's birthday."

"The harem is full of female relatives, concubines, princesses, princes and noble ladies compete for beauty. At this birthday banquet, it is necessary for each of them to show off their talents and compete with each other."

The imperial concubine caressed her cheeks, and said with a sigh: "I am getting older, and now I can be regarded as the leader of all the concubines. With this status, I don't have to end up performing. In addition to King Su, there is also a daughter, the princess should have heard of her too, right?"

"Yes."

Su Shixia nodded cooperatively and said: "I have often heard people say that the second princess Le Jia is lively and pretty. Whether it is appearance, talent, learning or character, she is top-notch in everything, and she is the most pleasing to His Majesty."

"You will praise her."

After all, she is her own daughter, and upon hearing such compliments from outsiders, the imperial concubine's face became even more smiling, and she said modestly: "These compliments are actually mostly outsiders' intentional flattery. That little girl is shameless, and when others praise her, she takes it seriously, and her temperament has become more arrogant and willful these years, and she has become more and more lawless."

"No, this time it's the birthday of the sage, she tried her best to show off the limelight, and I can't stop it even if I want to."

"The princess is still young, so it's not necessarily a bad thing to be competitive."

Su Shixia still can't figure out the specific thoughts of the imperial concubine, so she can only follow her words first.

"And in the final analysis, this is to celebrate His Majesty's birthday and to please His Majesty. Thinking about it, even if the Holy Majesty knows about it, he won't feel that there is anything wrong, on the contrary, he will be happy."

"Before, I was worried that she would be disliked if she was too self-willed and strong. Now that I heard what you said, I feel much more at ease."

The imperial concubine did not let go of Su Shixia's hand.

When she said this, she patted the back of Su Shixia's hand twice, and then said with a soft sigh: "This time I invited you into the palace, but that girl Le Jia begged me."

The words of the imperial concubine really made Su Shixia a little confused.

If she remembers correctly, she and that Princess Le Jia should have never met, let alone had any intersection.

She really couldn't figure out how she could be targeted by a princess.

She was puzzled in her heart, so she heard the imperial concubine follow and say: "You have never met that girl, but that girl knows you and admires you very much."

Seeing Su Shixia blinking his eyes blankly, it is obvious that he still hasn't figured it out.

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "To be more precise, she admires the things you made."

"She didn't even know how many people bought those beauty-beautifying things in Xianzifang. She used them on herself in different ways all day long, just to make herself more beautiful."

customer...

The moment Su Shixia got the answer, he was relieved and even a little dumbfounded.

This imperial concubine is really good at teasing people, there is nothing ulterior about this kind of thing, just explain it directly, it made her think about it for a long time.

Su Shixia secretly cursed in her heart, but still had that polite smile on her face.

"It's our Xianzifang's honor that Her Royal Highness likes the items in the store."

As she spoke, she immediately raised her voice to order Suqiu who was standing beside her.

"Get someone to go to the store right away, pack all the new products in the store recently, and send them to Her Royal Highness later."

The imperial concubine naturally didn't like these little things, but Su Shixia's flattering attitude made her very satisfied.

She curled her lips slightly, staring at Su Shixia with a chuckle, and said, "You spoil her so much, I'm afraid she will be more and more inseparable from your Xianzifang's things in the future."

The imperial concubine's eyes fell on her, Su Shixia's body was slightly stiff, and she felt that strange strange feeling came out again, which made her feel uncomfortable all over.

She said a few more polite words to the imperial concubine, and then said: "If the princess is only interested in my new products in Xianzifang, then just send them to the palace. The rules in the palace are strict, so I won't..."

"It's not just about wanting to use your things."

The imperial concubine never gave Su Shixia a chance to refuse.

"The rouge gouache made by your Xianzifang is easier to use than the things in other rouge shops."

The imperial concubine said: "There are a few dexterous maids in the palace, but Ke Lejia is self-willed. It must be said that the makeup drawn by those maids is old-fashioned and vulgar, and it can't set off her beauty at all."

"Princess, Ben Gong also said just now that if this child is strong, she wants to amaze everyone at tomorrow's birthday banquet."

"I also know that this request is a bit abrupt, but that girl has come to beg me in person, and I will come to beg you in person today..."

As soon as the imperial concubine and empress uttered the words "please, please", the ominous premonition in Su Shixia's heart became stronger.

She kept saying "Don't dare", and heard the imperial concubine say: "The girl said, since you developed those rouge powders, then you must know how to use them to achieve the effect of makeup. most."

"It's not difficult to ask you, I just want you to come into the palace to accompany her, and personally help her paint the most suitable makeup for her."

It depends on how to understand it.

Thinking about it badly, Su Shixia is now Princess Pingxi no matter what, asking her to dress up the princess, something only a maid would do, is no different from humiliation.

But from another perspective, this is the imperial concubine who came to "beg" her in person. To be invited into the palace and to share the worries of Her Royal Highness, in some people's eyes, it is also a great honor.

Su Shixia still doesn't understand whether the imperial concubine's invitation to the palace is kind or malicious.

But thinking of what Xun Qing said before, Qin Yi's "extremely disgusting" evaluation of the imperial concubine, she still tried hard to shirk it.

"Your Majesty doesn't know. Although I can develop these things, I am not good at using them..."

"It's okay, even if you can't put on makeup for Le Jia yourself, as long as you can enter the palace and help her as a staff officer, that girl will be happy enough. As a mother, I am not fulfilling my daughter's request."

The imperial concubine cut off Su Shixia's escape route without waiting for Su Shixia to finish, and asked with a smile: "I really just want you to do a small favor, such a small matter, if you want to come to the princess, you won't refuse it, right?"

She said this politely, but it already had a hint of threat.

Su Shixia pursed her lips, remembering Suqiu's "stable" before, she hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Since the imperial concubine personally invited me, the concubine should agree."

"But, since I entered the palace to dress up the princess, the concubine can enter the palace alone, Zhan'er..."

As soon as Su Shixia started talking, she was interrupted by the imperial concubine.

"Master Qin Zhan is naturally going to enter the palace."

"This is not an invitation from the princess, but... an invitation from His Majesty."
