Rebirth of the Banshee Concubine

Chapter 48
Luo Zhaoyi changed her posture, leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, opened the sandalwood box and took out a small box at random.When I opened it, a flash of surprise disappeared, and I randomly blinked my peach eyes and said with a smile that was not a smile: "I didn't expect Miss Qi to have a lot of research on rouge and gouache. I heard that Miss Qi is the most talented woman in Kyoto, and she is both talented and beautiful." , today it seems that it is really well-deserved!"

Qi Tianxiang's heart shuddered when she heard the words, this Luo Zhaoyi seemed to praise, but the ridicule and contempt in it were strong, which made people really uncomfortable to hear.What's more, Luo Zhaoyi ordered someone to announce her entry into the palace, but now she doesn't explain why.Tianxiang was quite resentful in her heart, this palace is a den of wolves and tigers, it is not a good place.Looking at it, Luo Zhaoyi saw that he was not a good stubble.

Taking a deep breath, Tianxiang put herself down as much as possible, and said more respectfully: "Your Majesty is really absurd. I am ashamed of you, and I really don't dare to do it. I just accidentally saw a prescription, using natural flower petals and fruits, etc. A variety of herbs are mixed together to become today's rouge. And because the raw materials are natural petals or fruits, there is no medicine and no harm to the skin."

"Often use, it can also help to improve the skin and nourish the skin! This rouge gouache is fresh and rare, but it's a folk thing. It's really hard to wait for the elegant house. Please don't dislike it!"

Tianxiang dare not say that it is the prescriptions recorded in the books left by her mother.Otherwise, Luo Zhaoyi couldn't understand her at all, and when the time came, if she simply robbed the books left by her mother, wouldn't she be missed by the thief?So if she can belittle herself and keep a low profile, Tianxiang will never be in the limelight.

There are strict rules in this palace, no matter how hard Luo Zhaoyi makes things difficult for her, he has no right to keep her in the palace.As long as a certain time comes, Luo Zhaoyi doesn't want to let her go, so she has no choice but to let her out of the palace.As long as she gets through today safely, there is a way to avoid today's danger when she goes back.

Luo Zhaoyi nodded with a smile when she heard the words, stretched out her long nails and lightly hooked it a little, and applied it on the back of her hand, she immediately showed a slight smile, looking very satisfied.Then he smiled and said, "Well, it does feel quite comfortable, and the back of the hand also feels natural, it doesn't look like rouge at all!"

Qi Tianxiang curled the corners of her lips when she heard the words, but she didn't say anything, she just lowered her head even lower.

Luo Zhaoyi kept staring at Tianxiang, even though she felt that the rouge Tianxiang sent was good, she still stared at Tianxiang with burning eyes, without any intention of moving away.After a pause, she raised her eyebrows and said: "Miss Qi is also smart. Today, my palace announces you to enter the palace. There is actually no other meaning. I just remind Miss Qi that you are a lady of a famous family, and you can't meet men in private at will."

"I believe that Ms. Qi is also familiar with "Nv Jing", "Nv Jing" and so on, then follow the rules of etiquette, do you understand what I mean?" Suddenly, Luo Zhaoyi changed the subject and stared sharply at Qi Tianxiang .

Qi Tianxiang's eyes widened in surprise, with a puzzled expression on her face, what does this mean?Since when did she disobey etiquette and meet men casually?

Luo Zhaoyi frowned, snorted and said, "Why, Miss Qi didn't understand what I said? I thought Miss Qi was smart, but unexpectedly..."

Tianxiang's heart moved, that's right, what Luo Zhaoyi expressed between the lines meant that she met her younger brother Luo Tianqi, right?After finally figuring this out, Tianxiang couldn't help smiling wryly, how could she be pestering her younger brother?It's clearly her own younger brother's rogue, he always likes to run into the boudoir at night, okay?
It's just that Tianxiang really feels weird, this Luo Zhaoyi looks like she is a rival in love, and those who don't know it think that Luo Tianqi is not her brother, but her lover!Her younger brother just said a few more words to him, and then openly announced that he would enter the palace to reprimand and beat him, it was really deceiving!
Now that the purpose was clear, Tianxiang couldn't ask for it, so she immediately got up and blessed her: "Yes, I will remember the teachings of Lady Zhaoyi! If there is nothing else, please forgive me and leave first!" After finishing speaking, Tianxiang got up and said to leave.Anyway, everything is clear, and she doesn't need to pretend to be with her, so Luo Zhaoyi should let her go, right?

"Wait a minute!" Luo Zhaoyi suddenly said: "Miss Qi must be hungry since she entered the palace this morning, so stay and have lunch with me!"

The corners of Qi Tianxiang's mouth twitched in hatred, this woman didn't look good at first glance, how could she kindly keep her for dinner?It seems that this lunch is Hongmenshan!It's just that she is the second-rank empress Zhaoyi, the head of the nine concubines, Tianxiang can only continue to endure it.Turning around, Tianxiang bowed her body and said: "It's hard to turn down the empress's kindness, and it's better to obey orders than to be respectful!"

Tianxiang returned to her seat again, and just kept silent like this, like a stick of incense in the world.The palace maids filed in, and the table was filled with delicacies.Luo Zhaoyi took the first seat, and Tianxiang sat down afterward.At this moment, a palace maid came in from outside and said, "Your maidservant sees your empress! Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Chen Wang has come to visit you at the order of the Empress Empress!"

Qi Tianxiang got up immediately when she heard the words, bowed her body and said: "Since the empress has a distinguished guest, the servant girl will leave first!" After finishing speaking, she was about to leave.

"Since I'm keeping Ms. Qi for dinner, seeing that the lunch is ready, Ms. Qi doesn't need to back away, let's sit down and eat!" Luo Zhaoyi's tone was strong, with a vaguely commanding tone.

Qi Tianxiang felt a chill in her heart, and was more surprised.Due to her status as Empress Zhaoyi, Tianxiang had no choice but to sit down as ordered.It's just that she finally understands the situation today, this Luo Zhaoyi clearly gave her a warning first, and then gave her such a fatal blow!
His Royal Highness Chen Wang is the son of the empress and the eldest son of the current emperor.Up to now, there has been no crown prince, and several princes are fighting openly and secretly.And this great prince, His Highness Prince Chen, deserves to be one of the candidates for the crown prince.He has a noble status, why would he greet Luo Zhaoyi, a second-rank concubine?It's even more unbelievable to be under the order of the empress!
Just as he was thinking about it, a tall and straight figure walked in, and all the maidservants in the palace knelt down to pay respects: "Slaves and maidservants see His Royal Highness Chen Wang! The prince is a thousand years old!"

Qi Tianxiang had been sharp-eyed for a long time, and knelt down along with the maidservants, while lowering her head as much as possible.Just now Luo Zhaoyi reprimanded herself not to meet with men casually, but now she deliberately got a man in, wanting to make sure that she can meet with men casually!If this news gets out, how will Qi Tianxiang gain a foothold in the capital in the future?
The face of Duke Qi's mansion will also be discredited!It can't be said that she is not vicious, as expected, the empress in the palace is more vicious in her mind, this Luo Zhaoyi is as beautiful as she is beautiful, she is just a femme fatale!
"Get up!" Prince Chen waved his hands casually, and then took a step forward to salute Luo Zhaoyi: "Hi, Ma'am, Yichen is here to greet you!"

Luo Zhaoyi smiled when she heard the words, that smile was charming and bright, but the panic and humility that flashed in her eyes showed that she was actually afraid of Prince Chen. "His Royal Highness Prince Chen has ruined this palace!" After a pause, he said with a light smile: "Speaking of which, Prince Chen came just in time. This palace just entertained Miss Qi to stay for lunch, so His Royal Highness is here now. By the way , Your Highness, have you eaten?"

Xia Yichen's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and he subconsciously looked at Qi Tianxiang.A flash of sharpness flashed across quickly, pursed his lips and said with a slight smile: "This king came in a hurry, but I really haven't eaten yet!"

Luo Zhaoyi immediately smiled when she heard the words: "Really? Then if the prince doesn't dislike the crude lunch here in this palace, how about staying and eating together?"

Qi Tianxiang's complexion immediately darkened, and the hostility in his eyes disappeared in a flash, this Luo Zhaoyi really deserves to die!Let's not talk about her self-assessment and forcible concubine rights, ordering herself to meet with the foreign male.Now she still wants to eat at the same table with her nephew, this man and woman are seven years old and have different tables, how could she not know that she is a concubine?

Tianxiang has reason to doubt about today's matter. Maybe these two people are working together to set him up!That is to say, from the beginning to the end, Luo Zhaoyi had sinister intentions towards her, and she had no intention of letting herself get out!This damned vicious woman!A cold light flashed in Tianxiang's eyes, even if she was Luo Tianqi's older sister, Tianxiang vowed to make her pay the price for framing her like this!

Clenching the hands hidden in the sleeves tightly, Tian Xiang forcefully squeezed out a look of panic, knelt down on the ground with a thump and said, "I dare not go beyond this matter, please allow my daughter to leave the palace and return to the manor!" Take retreat first, unless it is absolutely necessary, Tianxiang doesn't intend to really tear her face apart.

Hearing this, Xia Yichen frowned fiercely, stared at Tianxiang, and found that she just lowered her head.After a while, Xia Yichen sighed and said: "Miss Qi is so determined, is it because she doesn't want to have dinner with me?"

Qi Tianxiang trembled all over, continued to lower her head, pursed her lips and said: "Your servant must never dare!" Then he remained silent.

"Since there is no such thing, then sit down obediently and have a meal together! With Lady Zhaoyi here, what do you have to be afraid or worried about?" Xia Yichen was very unhappy, his voice could not help but be majestic, and he still There is a shred of doubt.

Qi Tianxiang bit her lower lip when she heard the words, but she still didn't intend to accept her fate.Gritting her teeth, Tianxiang said firmly: "My lord's kindness, Tianxiang appreciates it. Although Tianxiang is a weak girl with little talent and learning, I still know the reason why men and women are at different tables at seven years old. Tianxiang is still a girl who has not yet left the cabinet. The words of the sage often resound in the mind to remind the courtiers to do what they say and do, and please forgive me, my lord!"

Tianxiang's words are pearls, every word has the words of sages or the etiquette of women's scriptures in it, which not only raises the disrespectful etiquette, but also does not lose the face of the royal family and provoke the majesty of the Tian family.

However, when such words fell into the ears of King Chen, his expression darkened immediately, and a wave of anger was fully revealed on his face.He is the eldest son of the current empress, the king of the imperial concubine!He was willing to let go of his figure and eat at the same table with a low-class third-class lady like her. She just didn't snicker, but instead repeatedly rejected his fawning and kindness!This Qi Tianxiang is a woman who doesn't know good and bad, and doesn't know how to praise her!
Luo Zhaoyi's eyes flashed, and she naturally realized that Prince Chen was angry, she curled her lips and said with a charming smile: "Look at Miss Qi being so serious and sticking to the rules, the rules are dead, but people are alive! But having a meal together, how can it be so serious?"

Since you are shameless and have the nerve to say such a shameful thing, then don't blame me for not giving you face as a damsel!Tianxiang raised her eyes coldly, stared at Luo Zhaoyi and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for my ministers' disapproval! Our country has been famous overseas since the beginning of the Taizu. It governs the world with filial piety and strengthens the foundation of the country with etiquette!"

"His Royal Highness, as His Royal Highness the Prince of Xijing, is a model for all people to follow in his words and deeds. There are so many eyes in the palace that will always stare at the prince, not to mention Yushitai, who wants to make the whole world disobedient. Catch those who don't respect etiquette, and read a book!"
