On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 385 Makeup 3
When Xiao Xiao came to add makeup, she was very polite, smiling and full of energy.

When I went back, I was so tired that I wished I could turn into a dog so I could lie down or curl up anywhere.

Who could believe that Miss Zhou, who seemed cold and arrogant on the surface, was actually so eager to teach others. After hearing that she didn't know how to play the game, she insisted on teaching her.

He also said that since Xiao Xiao was so good at archery, he would definitely be able to learn to play pot-tossing in no time.

The problem is that after learning it you still have to beat her, which is a bit cruel.

Xiao Xiao has never liked socializing because she finds it very tiring.

Anyway, after that, the mother of the Minister of Revenue passed away, and Madam Li wanted to lead them to the funeral, but she declined on the grounds of illness.

A few days later, it’s the birthday of the princess of the county, and she needs to send birthday gifts and attend a banquet. A few days later, someone’s family has a new baby, and someone wants to host a banquet...

Mrs. Li likes these social events and wants to take her daughter-in-law out with her so that she can meet more people.

It was also because Xiao Zhou's elder sister, Da Zhou, was already the future queen. Even if the female relatives said behind Da Zhou's back that she was lucky, they would still smile and compliment her in person.

Especially the female relatives who used to dislike each other, now either avoid her or bow their heads to her.

This makes Mrs. Li feel proud, how could she not be happy?
As for the fact that Xiao Xiao did not follow her out, she also wished for it.

Even if Mrs. Li didn't want to bother Xiao Xiao, she didn't want Xiao Xiao to take too much of the spotlight.

Therefore, the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and all feel that the other party has been particularly considerate recently.

Only Li Yan felt uncomfortable, thinking that it was because of his status that Xiao Xiao was left out in the cold. Therefore, he worked even harder between the lines, hoping to tire her out so much that she would forget the grievances.

Even though Xiao Xiao liked certain sports in her heart, her body couldn't handle it, so she could only lie and say she was not feeling well.

That day, Li Yan came back with a serious face and looked at Xiao Xiao, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Xiao Xiao suspected that maybe she was impatient with his clinginess last night, or maybe she was thinking about Zhou Gong, so she kicked him off the bed.

Could it be that it's been a day and you still feel embarrassed?
Should she take this opportunity to give him a way out?

"Xiao Xiao," Li Yan saw her big watery eyes looking at him, and he hesitated to speak, so he spoke first: "The Crown Prince's Consort wants to see you."

The new emperor proclaimed himself king, which gave him enough headaches for the officials in the court, so no imperial edicts were granted to the officials' wives.

Li Yan had previously speculated that the new emperor probably wanted to wait until he married Miss Zhou before granting the imperial edict.

In this way, after the imperial edict is issued, the emperor can go to the palace to express his gratitude and then pay his respects to the new queen.

Otherwise, let the imperial edict go to thank the emperor.

Not to mention that the emperor is busy with state affairs, even if he is not busy, it would not be appropriate for him to see the imperial edict.

Like the original crown prince, he was not named a crown prince. Of course, now that the new emperor is in his prime, it is not very urgent to name him a crown prince.

Therefore, the Crown Prince's Consort is still the Crown Prince's Consort, or the First Prince's Consort.

Xiao Xiao was a little confused: "Why does the Crown Prince's Consort want to see me?"

Their relationship should be that Xiao Xiao knows her, but she doesn't know herself.

Li Yan had some guesses in his mind: "In the past few days, the Crown Prince's wife has met with several women who used to work for the Crown Prince."

After he said that, Xiao Xiao also understood: "I guess it's either to win over or to pressure?"

She couldn't help but mutter, "The Crown Prince's Consort is too impatient. She should be more cautious now."

Now, if someone with ulterior motives sees him seeing his female relatives every day, it would seem like he has other ideas. You know, the people who are watching the prince and his wife are the ones who are watching him now.

Li Yan also agreed with his wife's words in his heart.

Thinking about how the Crown Prince had 'accidentally' met him before, and how he had shown concern for whether his current job was going well, and how what the Crown Princess was doing now even he felt was inappropriate, perhaps it was because those involved were more confused than those who were not involved, and thus, it was easier to see things clearly than those who were not involved?
He was afraid that his wife would suffer a loss: "I will send you there tomorrow, and you just need to agree to whatever the Crown Prince's wife says."

A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Anyway, whether he can do it or not is another matter.

Xiao Xiao found his words pleasing to the ear and nodded vigorously: "I'll remember it."

In fact, even if he didn't say it, Xiao Xiao was prepared to do so.

Even if the Crown Prince's wife wanted to settle the score with him later, she could still say that Li Yan did not listen to her, and there was nothing she could do, right?
Li Yan was still worried. If it came to a matter of martial arts with the Crown Prince's wife, he would never worry about his wife.

But if we talk about scheming and plotting, the Crown Prince's wife grew up in the harem, and after marrying the Crown Prince, she has lived in the palace for three or four years. It is definitely not an easy task for her to live peacefully until now.

He was really afraid that Xiao Xiao would suffer a loss at her hands.

But as long as the Crown Princess wanted to see Xiao Xiao, he couldn't bargain, otherwise he would rather accompany Xiao Xiao himself.

Compared to Li Yan who tossed and turned in sleep, Xiao Xiao quickly went to make an appointment with Zhou Gong.

The next morning, Xiao Xiao got up before six o'clock without anyone calling her.

After she washed up and ate a bowl of noodles, she asked the maids to dress her up.

It's not about asking them to dress themselves up to be glamorous, as long as they look rich.

Li Yan used to not like talking to her in front of the maids and old women, but now he couldn't care less: "How about I go with you?"

Xiao Xiao closed her eyes and let Mother Yan draw her eyebrows: "You go and do the work, it's better for me to go by myself, otherwise it will attract too much attention and the Crown Prince's Consort will be even more unhappy."

Li Yan thought so too and couldn't help but remind her again: "Whatever the Crown Princess says, you must agree to it and don't talk back."

"I've remembered everything, don't worry, my husband."

Not only did she remember, she could recite all his instructions by heart.

Xiao Xiao resisted the urge to roll her eyes because he was worried about her.

After Xiao Xiao is dressed up, she will go and see Madam Li first.

When Madam Li saw Xiao Xiao, she almost couldn't help but close her eyes: "It's too dazzling. You can wear less of the twin lotus and bright moon pearl."

It was also the first time for her to see Xiao Xiao with such a head full of pearls and jades. She almost couldn't help asking her if her head felt heavy.
Seeing Xiao Xiao dressed like this reminded Mrs. Li that when Xiao Xiao first came into the family, her dowry was also very generous.

I think after the incident in the city, she also took a lot of jewelry with her when she fled.

When Mrs. Li thought of this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Xiao had enough jewelry, which was also a good thing for her.

Otherwise, if Xiao Xiao went out without any jewelry to decorate, she couldn't pretend not to see it, otherwise it would also damage her reputation.

Before Xiao Xiao came, she had someone dig out her jade hairpin and gold-beaded bracelet, for fear that she would lose face in front of the Crown Prince's wife.

She secretly thanked her luck that she didn't take it out and could save it.

Xiao Xiao's head was a little heavy, and she finally understood why ladies from wealthy families would be so steady when they go out.

I can't escape from this.

Otherwise, the gold and jade jewelry might fall off.
