Love on the Pillow: Pampering the Unscrupulous Queen

Chapter 21

Later, when the crowd dispersed, Mrs. Su stayed in Su Qing's room for a long time, and secretly gave her 5 taels of silver, saying: "People in the palace are used to stepping on the low and holding the high, and now the court... ...Bring more silver on your body, and it will be easier to manage the servants, so that people dare not look down on you."

Su Qing refused: "Mother, my daughter doesn't need so much money in the palace, you can keep it for yourself.

Mrs. Su forced the silver bill into Su Qing's hand: "Li'er, I have to listen to my mother on this matter. The money is discounted from mother's dowry, and it will be given to you sooner or later. I just didn't expect it to be so Hastily married off my precious daughter. The queen mother... the queen mother's heart is too cruel!"

For this hasty wedding ceremony, Mrs. Su undoubtedly had resentment in her heart.It's just that the other party is the royal family, no matter how much resentment she has, she can only bury it in her stomach.

Although she also understands the current turbulent situation in the imperial court, she can't justify it no matter what. Is there any noble family in Beijing who married their daughter in such a panic?

Su Qing looked at the faint silver on Mrs. Su's temples, felt her nostrils sore, and endured the bitterness in her heart and said: "Mother, the Queen Mother is not to blame for this matter. After your daughter is gone, you have to take care of yourself."

After all, Mrs. Su didn't want to see Su Qing feel sad, so she cheered up and said after a while: "Stop talking, you're going out tomorrow, mother will send two girls with good skills to enter the palace with you. It’s also more convenient in the palace.”

Mrs. Su's mother's family is also a family of hairpins, and the girls around Mrs. Su are also very good at kung fu, and each girl has her own kung fu.

"Xia Meng and Dong Xue are two girls, one is good at poison, and the other is good at light work. Once you enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea, and the harem hides filth and evil methods. With these two girls, my mother can feel at ease. " Madam Su said again.

Su Qing was slightly taken aback. When she entered the palace in the previous life, Xia Meng and Dong Xue did not enter the palace with her, but two other little girls.

"En." Su Qing did not reject her mother's kindness. On the other hand, she really needed someone who knew poison to be by her side when entering the palace.

It was late at night, and Mrs. Su went back under the urging of General Su's repeated dispatches.

Su Qing lay on the bed after washing up and looked at the half-closed window, but there was no moon outside the window.She originally thought it would be a sleepless night, but unexpectedly, she soon fell asleep until dawn.

At Yinshi the next day, Su Qing was woken up by two girls, Shi Qin and Shi Shu.

After washing and dressing up, the people in the palace brought over the phoenix crown and other things.

Su Qing sat in front of the vanity mirror, and the silver mirror clearly reflected her beautiful facial features.

He changed into the phoenix robe sent by the palace. The red robe stretched across the floor, with a vivid phoenix totem embroidered on the back.On the front, the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, fish and insects are embroidered with gold and silver thread, which is very gorgeous.

"I heard that the Empress Dowager ordered people to rush to make this phoenix robe a year ago. It took five hundred embroiderers a year to make this phoenix robe." Shi Qin looked at Su Qing wearing it. The phoenix robe on his body couldn't help but exclaim.

The young lady of their family is originally a beautiful woman, but now she is set off by this big red phoenix robe, she looks like a fairy concubine, her expression is so compelling that people dare not look directly at her.

Xi Niang in the palace began to twist noodles for Su Qing carefully, but Su Qing's face was as clean and smooth as a freshly peeled egg, with no pores visible, so perfect that she didn't look like a real person.

Xi Niang also twisted a few times with the cotton thread symbolically, and praised: "The crown princess is so natural and beautiful. I have served three generations of concubines in the palace, and I have never seen anyone who can compare with the empress."

The waiter immediately stuffed a red envelope into her hand, and said with a smile, "Mummy praised you."

Then came the flower makeup, Su Qing's facial features were really impeccable, the old palace man in charge of the flower makeup simply pasted gold foil cut flowers on Su Qing's eyebrows, and there was nothing else to do.

The last thing is to comb the hair. Several old people in the palace are also carefully selected by the Queen Mother.Several people meticulously tied up Su Qing's long hair into the shape of a pagoda, and wrapped Su Qing's bun with a hair net made of gold threads, and finally took off the phoenix crown that had been covered by the red silk cloth. come out.

This phoenix crown is made of finger-sized pearls. In the middle is a golden phoenix spreading its wings and dotted with green phoenix feathers. The beaded flowers and emerald leaves are complicated and gorgeous. Looking at it, there are no fewer than hundreds of precious stones, and there are thousands of pearls. dazzling.The phoenix eyes are two transparent and flawless rubies. The golden phoenix holds a string of luxurious pearls in its mouth. The round pearl at the end is about the size of a pigeon egg and is even more valuable.

The heavy phoenix crown was carefully pressed on Su Qing's bun by the palace people, and the pearls hung between her eyebrows, which contrasted with the flowers in the center of her eyebrows, making it even more radiant.

"Miss, the madam, the second madam, and the youngest madam are here." Shi Qin walked into the room and said.

As soon as Su Qing turned her head, she saw Mrs. Su, Xia Yi, Su He's and others standing at the door of the room, and there were several first-rank wives and concubines standing outside, all of whom were good friends with Mrs. Su.

Mrs. Su and the others wore the haircuts given by Su Qing, and they were indeed more dazzling than the wives next to them.As several wives kept asking, Mrs. Su followed Su Qing's request and said that these heads were all custom-made in a newly opened jewelry shop in the city, Qifeng Pavilion. Many wives who came to congratulate her secretly remembered this name.

"I've always heard that Li girl has the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital, and I realized that she is right after seeing her today." A woman in her thirties said with a smile, and at the same time signaled to the maid next to her to hand over the brocade box to her. Leaving Shi Qin, "This is a little bit of my heart, and it can be regarded as a little bit of makeup for Li girl."

Shi Qin opened the box, inside was a pair of seven-colored jade biscuits, what is rare is that the jade biscuits are colorful but the size of an adult's palm, one can tell they are extraordinary at a glance.

"Thank you Princess Anyang." Mrs. Su said with a slight smile.

Princess Anyang smiled and said, "It's just a little thought."

Several other wives also offered their own makeup, almost all of which were valuable items.

After delivering the make-up, Mrs. Su led the ladies to the garden specially used to entertain the female relatives at the back, while Xia Yi and Su He were also busy greeting the guests in the front, while General Su and Su Lang were at the front. The hall greeted the courtiers who came to congratulate.

Even though General Su offended many colleagues because of his uprightness, the general's mansion is still overcrowded at the moment.The Duke's Mansion next to it is also busy entertaining the guests. After all, when Su Qing goes out, she has to be carried out of the Duke's Mansion.

Although it is said that the family has been separated, the Duke's Mansion is still the old residence of the Su family. Although the old Duke Su has enjoyed wealth and no real power, he is also the lintel of several generations of powerful people. All the courtiers have to give them some face, even The three auxiliary ministers and several princes also entered the Duke's Mansion first, and then went to the General's Mansion.

"At this time, it should be offering sacrifices to the Taimiao, right?" Shi Qin looked up at the sky and said to himself.

Sacrifice to the Ancestral Temple, and worship the heaven, earth, sun and moon. After all, the procession to welcome the relatives will not come until the afternoon.
