Changing the beauty of the demon concubine

Chapter 9

"My servant has paid homage to Concubine Qing, and Concubine Qing is auspicious and safe!" The maids holding lamps came over one after another.I looked at them carefully, there were familiar faces, some unfamiliar faces, but none of them looked up at me, one by one lowered their heads and silently lit the lamps with red candles.

"My maidservant pays homage to Concubine Qing, Concubine Qing is auspicious and safe!" A palace maid in purple walked in slowly, bowing her body to pay her respects.

I helped her up and got her up.Right now I just want to be nice to everyone, very simple.My mother said that only by practicing virtue can one get happiness.The days between me and Mo Yan are still so long, today is the first day, I want to accumulate virtue and practice for our happiness.

A trace of surprise flashed across the face of the purple-clothed maid, but she came back to her senses immediately, and said to me humbly, "Concubine Qing, please move to the side hall to take a bath."

I shook my head, took a few steps back, and said, "I have chosen this red dress for a long time, and there is no one that is exactly the same. I just want to meet the emperor today like a bride. When I see the emperor , can I take a bath again?"

"Your Majesty...it would be disrespectful for you to meet the Emperor without taking a bath." Seeing me talking to her in a questioning and begging tone, she replied softly with a face of embarrassment.

"But..." I lowered my head and refused to move for a long time, but I couldn't explain why.

After dawdling until all the maids in charge of the lanterns retreated one by one, the maid in purple sighed and said to me, "Your Majesty is a person who values ​​affection. If you don't want to change this red dress, you can take a bath first and wait for your servants." Would you like to wash your new clothes with incense? But, you must not tell others about this, or your slaves will be punished."

"Well, thank you. Xuan'er!" I saw in the roster that the maid who served me in the bath was named Xuan'er.

Xuan'er was overwhelmed with flattery, and hurriedly leaned forward, "The servant is terrified, why should the empress thank you, I'm killing the servant!"

I grabbed her hand and said with a slight smile: "No, Xuan'er, we all live in this world together. In front of all things, you and I are the same. Why do you say that you can break evil? Would you like to be here?" In the deep palace, be my only friend? You are not a slave, and I am not a concubine."

"Slaves can't afford to be so high... Your Majesty..." Xuan'er slowly raised her head to look at me, with tears in her eyes.

I pulled Xuan'er to the window, and the sun hadn't completely set yet.The other hand pointed to the faint flowers and plants in a courtyard, and said to her, "Look, you and I are actually like the flowers and plants in front of this window. No matter what the flowers or grass are, they are all rooted in the soil. Live in the sun, do you think they have a saying of being high-ranking?"

Xuan'er didn't pull her hand away, but held my hand tightly with her backhand, turned her head to look at the beautiful flowers and plants outside the window, and muttered, "Niang Niang..."

"In this deep palace, it is impossible for you and me to take a step in our whole life. I don't understand why these sisters are intriguing. Maybe it is the necessary survival skills to survive. But, I don't want to. Let me Let's share joys and sorrows with you, okay?"

"Okay..." A drop of cold tears ran across the corner of her eyes, and I gently wiped them away with my fingers.Then turn around and smile.

After bathing, the sky has become completely dark. "Your Majesty, you have been bathing for a long time. The servant is afraid that you will be hungry, so I decided to leave the dinner passed down from the imperial dining room for you. Would you like to eat some now?"

I let Xuan'er stay by my side, replacing Nuo Xue as my personal maid.

I smiled and nodded in agreement.

Now she no longer has the politeness and humility of the evening, and she looks at me with bright eyes and smiles.Seeing me nodding, she immediately turned briskly to send a message to the maid outside the door.

Meals are served one by one, different dishes are simmered in different purple casserole pots, and a little water is placed in the purple casserole pots.It's not hard to imagine that Xuan'er must have been afraid that I would be hungry after taking a bath, so she took the meals from the imperial dining room, and was afraid that if I bathed for too long, the dishes would cool down, so she warmed every dish in a purple casserole.I slowly sat down along the table, smiled at Xuan'er, rolled my eyes, and said softly, "Thank you..." Only she could hear.
