Chapter 24
Episode 024

In a blink of an eye, it was the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.At the first moment of the morning, Ju Hong and Qiang Wei woke Dong Yuan up, and fetched water for her to wash her mouth, wash her face and change her clothes.

Dong Yuan wiped green salt on her teeth, her ignorance made her move slowly and clumsily, she slowly rinsed her mouth; she took the kerchief handed over by Qiangwei to wash her face, the slightly hot towel stuck to her skin, and the warmth flowed over her cheeks Wandering around seemed to wake up her drowsiness, and Dong Yuan was much more energetic.

Ju Hong picked out clothes for her, and then helped her change with Qiang Wei.

Silver-red embroidered twigs, begonias, and butterflies in spring, and the lake-colored, cloud-headed, eight-treasure gold woven skirt, set off Dong Yuan's bright eyes, and her skin is better than snow. The light in the small room was suddenly dimmed by her beauty. three points.

Qiangwei was stunned for a moment, seeing that she was naturally charming when she was in a hurry, she couldn't help exclaiming: "Miss Nine, you look really good..."

Dong Yuan's expression froze when he said just one word.

Ju Hong hurriedly winked at Qiang Wei.

Qiangwei was taken aback again, but she understood what Dong Yuan and Ju Hong meant: Miss Jiu doesn't like others to say she is beautiful.This made her a little puzzled, isn't it beautiful?How many women have exhausted their lives, pursuing nothing but beauty and the envy of others.

Since Dong Yuan didn't like it, Qiangwei didn't say much anymore, she turned around and took out her multicolored tapestry ermine cloak, and found the Panchi warming jade hand stove that the old lady rewarded last time, and exchanged it for silver charcoal.

Ju Hong then called the hair-combing mother to comb Dong Yuan's hair.

Mama Wan, who combed her hair, helped her comb the ingot bun. On the high bun, there were four bead flowers with gold dots and emerald pinch gold threads embedded with pink rice beads.In the middle of the ingot, there is a butterfly wearing a magnolia flower hairpin: the top flower is made of white jade to make the petals of the magnolia, and big rubies are used to make the stamens; several golden butterflies are playing around, the body of the butterfly is dotted with gemstones of various colors, and the whiskers of the butterfly are inlaid with white gemstones. Rice beads, two gold butterflies on the left and right each hold a row of wreaths in their mouths, two strings of hanging beads, with red and sapphires as horns, reaching to the forehead.

In the glass mirror embossed with lotus patterns and embossed bats, Dong Yuan looked at the immature, white but charming face, and suddenly took off the finishing touch of the white magnolia flower hairpin, and said with some displeasure: "Don't want this, it's tiring to wear." !"

But Wan's mother hurriedly pressed her hand, and said with a smile: "My dear lady, don't be in a hurry to pick it up!"

Ju Hong also hurriedly said: "Miss, this was sent by Shi Zi's wife yesterday, just thinking about you wearing it today. This is so beautiful, luxurious and elegant, it suits your appearance best. Don't take Shi Zi's wife's kindness..."

Seeing that Ju Hong spoke up, Qiangwei also helped persuade her.

Dong Yuan let go of her hand, allowing Mama Wan to help her take care of her again.

What can she do?

In order to make herself look haggard, she intentionally starved for two days, but last night the old lady asked Baojin to deliver the inner-made rouge powder, and also told Orange and Qiangwei that today's makeup should be heavy, otherwise it would be rude; Mrs. Shizi She couldn't avoid getting someone to show her off.

She was young and had to put on makeup and makeup, how could she be haggard and pale because she had been hungry for two days?

The glass mirror under the candlelight glowed with a dim yellow light, and she could see her beautiful face.The upturned corners of the eyes add to the natural enchantment, as long as she smiles lightly, it seems to deliberately seduce people's souls.

She knew that many old women didn't like this kind of appearance, and felt that it was too coquettish and restless.But Dong Yuan didn't dare to take chances, what if the queen mother likes it?
After all, they entered the palace as concubines, not queens!
Choosing a concubine for the emperor means taking a concubine for the emperor, so beauty is naturally the most important thing.

What's more, the law is strict, and she is the daughter of a family of important ministers, not an actor or musician, so where can she be restless?
Her background and education determine that she will not be willing to be dirty.

But what's the use of worrying?

Whether she wants to enter the palace, as if she came to this world, is beyond her control, but reincarnation has already been doomed for her.

Putting on this butterfly wearing white magnolia flower hairpin again, Dong Yuan's expression became quiet and peaceful.

Seeing that she had stopped making trouble, Mama Wan took a pair of red gold earrings inlaid with large pearls and put them on for her.

Ju Hong and Qiangwei helped her paint her eyebrows and temples, and they didn't finish it until the third quarter of the first day. Ju Hong supported her and went to the old lady's Rongde Pavilion.

The sky has not yet brightened, and a round of ice in the sky emerges from the blue sea and hangs over the treetops. The ground of Shicui Pavilion seems to have been plated with silver frost, and the cold light reflected by the moonlight shines everywhere.

Entering the palace today is a festive day for the Xue residence, and at the second moment of Yinzheng, the servants at home lit up the red lanterns everywhere.

After leaving the Shicui Pavilion, walk west along a long and slanted path, and you can see the peach tree branches in the courtyard of the Taolang Pavilion. The closed door is extremely gloomy.

Dong Yuan couldn't help standing still, looking through the high courtyard wall, looking at the corner of the second floor of the Taolang Pavilion, and didn't move his feet for a while.

Ju Hong's back felt numb, and she tugged on Dong Yuan's sleeve: "Miss, let's hurry up..."

Dong Yuan looked back, but didn't insist, and followed Ju Hong to Rongde Pavilion.

Although the Rongde Pavilion was brightly lit and the maidservants were busy shuttling back and forth, there was no sound at all.Dong Yuan knew right away that she was the first again today, and the Rong family and others did not show up.

The old lady had already woken up, and she was sitting on the big pit by the window eating mutton. She wore two emerald jade blessings inlaid with sapphire phoenix hairpins, a sapphire embroidered phoenix-pattern jacket, and a dark blue persimmon ruyi pattern on her head. Fu Qun, seeing Dong Yuan, the old lady's eyes brightened slightly, she smiled and said to Zhan's mother: "This way of dressing up makes you look good, it's too plain on weekdays!"

Praise her today's makeup, clothing is very suitable.

Dong Yuan pursed his lips and smiled.

She always comes early, and often eats at the old lady's place.

Mother Zhan asked her if she had had breakfast, and Dong Yuan said: "Not yet...the kitchen is filled with those things again, I don't want to eat them, the pastries made in grandma's small kitchen are more delicate..."

"Greedy cat!" The old lady laughed, and asked Mother Zhan to bring her breakfast.

After Dong Yuan ate half a bowl of millet porridge and two crystal dumplings, he put down his chopsticks.

The maids removed the bowls and chopsticks, helped her to sit down on the kang of the old lady, served hot tea again, and the second lady and Xue Dongrong came.

Xue Dongrong took off her cloak, and inside she was wearing a scarlet embroidered tangle of branches and lotus patterns inlaid with bat patterns, a thick-faced jacket, a sky blue dark woven gold blessing skirt, and a double-knife bun. Die wears a white magnolia flower hairpin, which is exactly the same as Dong Yuan, with bright eyes and white teeth, and an elegant and quiet temperament.

Just looking a little weak.

Dong Yuan looked at the flower hairpin on her head, and finally came to his senses, it turned out that Mrs. Shizi gave it to every girl who entered the palace!

Thinking of how restless she was in the middle of the night last night, Dong Yuan felt it was funny, she thought Mrs. Shizi and Shizi had taken a fancy to her...

The old lady's eyes were sharp and sharp, and she noticed something wrong with Xue Dongrong, she frowned and asked the second lady: "Sister Rong's complexion is not right, what's going on?"

The second lady's eyes were moist: "This child... She started running around during the day yesterday, so I'm embarrassed to say next to each other. I didn't dare to eat dinner. I didn't expect to get up five or six times at night, and my face turned pale in the morning... The inner house fell Key, it's midnight again, she dare not say it, for fear that I will rush to find a doctor and burden my parents...Look at her..."

The old lady pulled Xue Dongrong distressedly, put her hand on her forehead, tried it, and it seemed that she didn't have a fever, so she asked her: "Why is my stomach uncomfortable?"

"Grandmother, I don't know... I've never had anything like this happen to me in these years..." She put lip gloss on her lips, but she still felt pale, and her tone was soft and low.

Dong Yuan's heart moved: How can I be so stupid, diarrhea is obviously a good trick, why didn't I think of it, foolishly starving for two days, it has no effect.But Xue Dongrong collapsed after pulling it all night...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help looking at Xue Dongrong.

Did she really go belly-up, or did she do it on purpose?
