The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 22 Pale yellow but old-fashioned makeup
Chang Xi entered the Kunde Palace with her bag on her shoulders. The servant Xiao Luzi had been waiting at the door for a long time, and escorted her to the side room diligently all the way to settle down. Chang Xi tidied up a little and went to the inner hall to serve the Queen.

At that time, Queen Wang lost her temper in the palace, the mirror and porcelain shattered all over the floor, she was reprimanding all the maids and servants for not being able to do anything, so everyone knelt on the ground trembling in fright. When he got reprimanded, he was obviously very angry.

When Queen Wang saw Chang Xi going to the palace, she said angrily: "Didn't you say that you can help me! Show your skills now!"

Chang Xi lowered her head and said, "Please tell me, Madam."

Queen Wang turned back and sat on the couch. You Lan carefully served her a cup of herbal tea to extinguish the fire, then she turned her head and said to Chang Xi: "Your Majesty is going to have breakfast in the Empress's Palace this morning, and the Empress is worrying about what dishes to prepare for her." Your Majesty's heart is very happy, I wonder how you can help your mother?"

Chang Xi pondered for a while, then said: "Nowadays it's hot and hot, breakfast should not be greasy, according to the servants, it's better to prepare some light and delicious dishes, such as green bamboo shoots and magnolia slices, anchovy lettuce, June fresh and other refreshing side dishes, and then..." I don't know if it was popular to eat petals in the Tang Dynasty, so he continued: "Pair it with some salty food such as dried orchid tofu, dried peony, and cook a pot of good porridge. I think your majesty will be happy to eat it."

Empress Wang rubbed her temples and asked doubtfully, "Aren't orchids and peonies both ornamental flowers? Can they be made into meals?"

Chang Xi said: "My servant has been greedy since I was a child, and I like to think about something to eat by myself, but my poor family can't get it often, so I went to the flower garden outside the Buddhist temple to steal their peonies, and after returning home to serve them, I asked my servant to make this fragrant dried peony. "

Queen Wang couldn't help laughing and said: "You still have such interesting things when you were young. Well, I allow you to try it. If Your Majesty eats it happily, he will reward you well."

"Thank you, ma'am." Chang Xi complied, and called Xiao Luzi to order him one by one, asking Shangshi Bureau to prepare these dishes, plus a pot of preserved egg and lean pork porridge, and told Zhou Sishan to cook it for him personally. Come.

After finishing the order, seeing that the empress who was standing aside wanted to get up and redress to greet the holy driver, she said, "Let the maidservant and Youlan help you to dress up together."

Queen Wang nodded, and the two accompanied the queen into the inner hall. The queen picked up a red gold-encrusted tourmaline hairpin in front of the bronze mirror and was about to hand it to Youlan and order her to put it on her head. Chang Xi said: "Your Majesty, today It's hot in the early summer, although this gold and silver jewelry can show your status as a queen, but it is too eye-catching, I fear that your majesty will be even hotter when seeing it, so why not replace it with this white jade hairpin with phoenix pattern, it will look more elegant."

"Oh?" Queen Wang looked at the exquisite white jade hairpin in Chang Xi's hand, and said, "Don't you look petty like this?" It turned out that the queen blindly felt that the jewelry was luxurious and complicated enough to show her luxurious status, so she bought all of them. Use some red gold, colorful gemstones and the like.

Chang Xi said: "Why don't You Lan comb your hair and the slaves choose accessories for you, okay?"

Queen Wang nodded slightly, and Chang Xi asked You Lan to comb a lily bun for her, with a few jasper and emerald flowers in front of her hair, wearing bright moon ear crotches, a emerald bracelet on her wrist, and a light yellow shirt. Wearing a long dress with floral patterns on a white background, it’s just a change of clothes. Queen Wang twisted her body and turned around a few times, and found that she in the bronze mirror was quite different from the past. Appreciate.

Everything is ready, breakfast is also ready, and they are on the table one by one.The queen and others sat down and waited for Li Longji to arrive.Chang Xi curled her lips secretly, being an emperor is so happy, eating breakfast so many people are waiting for him, when I was in school, I stayed in bed and missed breakfast, my mother threw a few dollars at most, and told me to go to the steamed stuffed bun shop at the door A few buns satisfy hunger.

Everyone waited left and right, but they couldn't see Li Longji coming, so they couldn't help feeling anxious.Queen Wang couldn't sit still for the first time, she stood up and walked back and forth in front of the couch, Li Longji hadn't visited the Kunde Hall for a long time, looking left and right, finally looking forward to him coming to have breakfast, can't he?
Chang Xi murmured in his heart: Could it be that the emperor was hooked up by Concubine Li again?If he doesn't come, all my hard work will be in vain.In case the queen and the king throw a splash, wouldn't it be a big deal to blame myself?
Unexpectedly, it was raining all night when the room leaked, and Xiao Luzi, who went out to inquire about the news, ran into the hall in a panic all the way, and replied: "A servant saw His Majesty's imperial chariot heading towards the Ganlu Hall."

Empress Wang thumped in her heart, sat down on the couch, and remained silent for a long time.The servants and maids standing all over the ground dared not say anything, the most embarrassing one was Zhou Sishan, so how could he return to Shangshi Bureau?

Chang Xi felt uneasy, although this matter had nothing to do with him, but who would the queen be angry with if she got angry.Unexpectedly, Empress Wang waved her hand sadly, and said: "You all go down, let me stay alone for a while." The rest of the people scattered like birds and beasts as if they were about to receive an amnesty.

Only Chang Xi and You Lan stayed behind.Chang Xi saw that Queen Wang frowned and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly. She was obviously very sad, so she boldly stepped forward and comforted her: "Your Majesty, don't be sad, after all, you and Your Majesty are married couples."

Seeing that she didn't go out of the palace with the crowd, Queen Wang didn't reprimand her, but said sadly: "Even you know that this palace and His Majesty are married couples, and the couple are deeply in love. Why does Your Majesty seem to have forgotten it? Ten years of husband and wife, although Can't be as gluey as newlyweds, but is it so hard to find a breakfast together!"

Seeing how pitiful she said, Chang Xi suddenly felt pity. Originally, she was only helping the queen for her own selfishness, avenging Liu Lezheng, but at this moment, she sincerely wanted to help her regain her favor. Help her regain the dignity of the queen.

You Lan was originally the nanny of the Queen when she was at home, and she was always by her side. Seeing the Queen felt uncomfortable at this moment, even though she looked strong on the outside, she was also very sad in her heart. tears.

The three of them were feeling sad, Xiao Luzi jumped into the hall at the door, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is coming!"

"Really!" Queen Wang suddenly stood up, really overjoyed.

Xiao Luzi bowed his waist and said joyfully, "I dare not lie to your empress, the imperial chariot has already arrived outside Kunde Hall."

"Hurry up! Get people ready!" Queen Wang hurriedly ordered everyone, then turned to Chang Xi and said, "Look quickly, is there any makeup for this palace?"

Chang Xi smiled and said: "No! Your Majesty is so beautiful and moving, His Majesty will be delighted to see it."

Queen Wang smiled, she was really a girlish look, at this time Li Longji had already stepped into the hall, and Gao Lishi followed him step by step, at first sight of Queen Wang's elegant dress, Li Longji was also surprised.
