Reborn as the General's Wife

Chapter 288 Beauty Advantage
It is said that all women love beauty, and even Concubine Xian cannot deny this, but when it comes to beauty, admiration is everyone's instinct, but jealousy is also every woman's instinct.

The little princess hadn't seen her for a few days, and she seemed to possess an even more breathtaking charm. Even if her back stood there, it was already the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Beauty is indeed a natural advantage. A look of sadness flashed in Concubine Xian's eyes. She was not favored by the heavens. Only then can she get to where she is today, without the sharp weapon of beauty, she will always be lacking.

She couldn't help but wonder, if she had had the beauty of a little princess from the very beginning, would her fate be different, she wouldn't have spent so many years in the harem, wouldn't have been so pure and indifferent, He would not stick to that small position for so many years, and the court was deep.

It is said that she is indifferent and peaceful, but who knows, what is the exchange for this tranquility and indifference?
It was in exchange for more than ten years of being alone in the empty boudoir!
Without a prominent family background, without eye-catching beauty, in this deep palace that is facing the abyss and walking on thin ice, she can only rely on step by step forbearance and low-key step by step to keep herself safe. Long companion Kongdian, even if it is a vigorous heart at the beginning, it will be tempered by time without any passion. Without passion, can it not be indifferent?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The maid beside her whispered in the ear of Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian looked up for a moment, and then she raised her head as if nothing had happened, only to hear the confidant maid continue to remind, "The little princess just talked to you, let you go over."

Talked to her, fell into deep thought but didn't hear her.Concubine Xian smiled apologetically at the little princess, seeing that the little princess was sitting under the tree alone, and everyone in the Hall of Love was standing there looking at each other from a distance, she knew that she was probably going to say something private, so she waved her hand. Asking the maid she brought with her to wait here, she walked towards the place where the little princess was alone.

"Your Highness." Concubine Xian stood with a trace of respect as expected, and even felt uneasy and uneasy in her heart. She couldn't help guessing why the little princess came here this time, and wanted to be with her. What she said, or what she wanted her to do.

"Don't be so nervous, sit down. A few days ago, I got some precious tea leaves from my father, and today I just want to invite the concubine Xian to taste tea and chat."

Gu Qingxin didn't look at her either, the movements in her hands were skillful, and the movements of making tea like flowing clouds and flowing water, every movement of her hands and feet was as pleasing as a beautiful scenery for viewing.

"Thank you, Your Highness." According to status and seniority, Concubine Xian is the emperor's concubine, and the little princess is the emperor's daughter. Concubine Xian should have a higher profile than the little princess, but Concubine Xian is willingly and cautiously at the moment, Only after getting permission from the little princess did he dare to sit down.

The two sat facing each other with only a small narrow table between them.

Each has its own thoughts, and no one can tell clearly.

Making tea is a time-consuming process. People who pay attention to the steps even reach more than [-] steps. Every step and every movement is exquisite. Even if one movement or one step is not done well, it may affect the Drink the tea in your mouth.

Gu Qingxin didn't speak, and concentrated on the movements in her hands.

Concubine Xian didn't dare to act rashly, so she focused on watching Gu Qingxin's movements. She was just watching, but at the end, she was attracted by the graceful movements of little princess Gu. She really felt that this tea making was really special .

I was wondering if I could also learn how to make tea. If I could learn three-tenths of the movements of the little princess, my majesty would definitely look at her with admiration when he came to her palace in the future.

"Concubine Xian." Gu Qingxin called softly.

Only then did Concubine Xian come back from her own thoughts, and she showed an embarrassed smile, only to see a plain hand holding a cup of tea in a small white porcelain cup in front of her. The tea is crystal clear in the white cup, as beautiful as fine nectar and jade dew.

"Shouldn't you try it just by looking at it?" Gu Qingxin's voice came again with a smile.

Concubine Xian took it in a panic. Because of her panic, she almost slipped the teacup from her hands, but she was secretly angry. Today, she lost her composure twice in front of the little princess. She just doesn't mind.

Just as she was thinking about it, Concubine Xian hurriedly apologized, "Your Highness, I lost my mind just now, I hope His Highness will not be offended."

Gu Qingxin's gentle and calm Yurong glanced at her lightly, and then let out a light smile, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so polite, the lack of focus just now was because you didn't have a good rest, or because there were too many things in the palace and you were too tired ? If you are really exhausted because of exhaustion, then it will be bad. I can go and talk to Father, don't make you so tired!"

The airy tone made Concubine Xian tremble with fear!
Her hands trembled a little, her right hand and her left hand held the teacup together, which prevented the teacup from falling down because of the trembling hands. She didn't care whether the teacup was hot or not, only what Gu Qingxin said in her mind talk.

Don't want her to be so tired, do you mean to deprive her of her power?No, no, absolutely not!

Concubine Xian's face suddenly became pale as paper.

From the beginning to the end, she was only afraid that the little princess would really put these words into practice. She was only afraid and apprehensive, but she never doubted whether the little princess could have such a great influence on His Majesty. It should be said that it was undeniable. It is doubtful that she has reached this position today because of many things she has done, and the reason why she can know so much and do so much is all thanks to the little princess.

Concubine Xian put the cup on the table anxiously and anxiously, stood up anxiously, trying her best to hide her panic, but her tense face and clenched hands still revealed a little, "Your Highness , I’m not tired, really. If you don’t believe me, look, I’m quite energetic now. The real reason for my loss of focus just now is that Your Highness is too beautiful to be like a fairy. The same trembling voice, even with some stuttering, "I'm dumbfounded."

Concubine Xian didn't know why she was so nervous this time. She was never so nervous when she was Concubine Lin before, nor was she so afraid of losing something, but now, the more she knows and the more she contacts , the more she was afraid.Because I understand it, I am afraid. When a person eats delicacies from mountains and seas, who would want to go back to eat radish and cabbage?
After she took the position of Concubine Xian, she recalled the days when she was Concubine Lin, as if that happened hundreds of years ago.How could she be willing to continue to live such a low-key life with the days of calling for wind and rain in her hands?

No, she doesn't want to go back, she doesn't want to live such an indifferent life anymore!

Gu Qingxin understood Concubine Xian's flustered tone, and had some understanding of her state of mind at the moment, but she still didn't speak, didn't open her mouth, and let Concubine Xian stand like that dryly, letting her heart be full of panic and uneasiness. Down.

After a long time, Gu Qingxin took off the purple sand pot again, and along the mouth of the pot, the clear tea slowly flowed into the fine white porcelain cup, and stopped when it was [-]% full.

Gu Qingxin put the teapot on a small fire and continued to cook, closed her eyes and took a sip with enjoyment, the fresh and sweet fragrance instantly entered her mouth, after the slight bitterness passed, what was left was an endless refreshing aftertaste.

"Concubine Xian, what's the matter with you? Why are you standing up? You still haven't sat down to drink tea." Gu Qingxin said in surprise as if she had just seen Concubine Xian, and asked Concubine Xian to sit down.

Concubine Xian carefully observed Gu Qingxin's expression, seeing that she did not show any signs of anger, but this time she sat down slowly, but felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

"This tea is good. Although it is bitter in the mouth, it is sweet after drinking. The aftertaste is endless. The tea that is bitter and then sweet is actually very good. It is refreshing and pleasant. Look at the honey that is sweet in the mouth. Although it is very sweet, it is so sweet. Later, it became greasy and bitter, don’t you think so? So in comparison, this princess likes drinking tea more.”

Seeing Concubine Xian sitting down, Gu Qingxin began to chat on her own, talking about her own opinions, saying it was chatting, but in fact she was the one who took the lead.

"Yes, Your Highness is right." Concubine Xian's tone carried a sense of submissiveness.

"Your tea is cold, pour it for another cup. It doesn't taste good when someone leaves the tea cold." Gu Qingxin looked at the lack of hot tea in front of Concubine Xian, took a glance and looked away, and said inadvertently.

Concubine Xian stretched out her right hand and casually poured the cup of tea on the floor outside the carpet.

When I returned to my original seat, I heard the little princess say again, "Drink tea, don't be restrained, you can pour it yourself, or I can do it for you."

"Don't dare, I'll do it myself." Concubine Xian would not choose the second option, so she naturally picked up the teapot, poured tea carefully into her small cup, and stared at the spout quietly until the light became slightly brighter. The yellow tea flow overflowed from one container to another.

"Pour the tea to [-]% full." Gu Qingxin's calm voice sounded.

Concubine Xian's heart trembled, her right hand trembled slightly, it was obviously a pleasant voice like an oriole, and it was obviously a calm and gentle tone, but for some reason, her heart could not be realized.
