The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 6 The Emperor's Plan

Seeing Feng Yao's arrival, Xin Jieyu was not too surprised, but gave up her seat in a gentle and polite manner, with a bit of joy on her face: "The third princess should come here often, and I will talk more alone."

"I'm a glutton, I'm here to ask for Xin Jieyu's Yunpian Cake." Feng Yao smiled, and let Lu Luo hold the small white agate rouge box.It was carved from a whole piece of white agate, but it was about an inch large. It was white and translucent, with a little bit of fluorescent light. It was not a common thing at first sight.

"This is a box of lip balm that Yaoer personally blended, and giving it to Xin Jieyu is a thank you gift."

Xin Jieyu hurriedly took it with both hands, and she seemed to like it very much: "We all know that the method of the third princess to make rouge is a unique method in Fengjue Kingdom. Back then, the empress dowager only used the rouge and spices made by the three princesses, how dare I do it. If the third princess likes Yunpian Cake, just ask the maid to come and get it from me."

"The rouge is naturally for beauties. Of course Xin Jieyu can use it." Feng Yao smiled and looked very cute.But she never asked about Xin Jieyu's slightly swollen eyes and slightly haggard face, let alone Moli.

It wasn't until Xin Jieyu asked the court lady to bring a box of cloud cakes that Feng Yao let Zi Ying pick it up, and wanted to leave with a smile on her face.

Naturally, Xin Jieyu followed her to the door, and after seeing the Yunqi Pavilion, Feng Yao seemed to have remembered something, and asked with a smile: "I wonder if there is still that sweet-scented osmanthus honey?"

Xin Jieyu nodded: "Of course there are, but it's still last year's deep honey. This year, when the sweet-scented osmanthus blooms again in August, there will be new honey."

Feng Yao clapped his hands and said: "That's just right. I want to blend some rouge, but I'm short of some sweetness. Xin Jieyu will send me some. When the rouge is finished, first ask Zi Ying to send it to Yunqi Pavilion for Xin Jieyu Look at the colors."

Xin Jieyu hurriedly asked the maid to get the sweet-scented osmanthus honey, which was packed in a small white porcelain jar, and when the lid was opened, there was a strong sweet fragrance.

Feng Yao smelled it and praised: "It's really good honey. New honey is always not as thick as Shen Mi, and the rouge blended out is not colored. Thank you Yaoer."

Xin Jieyu couldn't do without being polite, and she and Feng Yao chatted a few more gossips before they separated.

When Feng Yao returned to Yunqi Pavilion, she really asked Lu Luo and Zi Ying to take out the bottles and jars she usually used to blend rouge, and fiddled with them in the house.

Zi Ying was grinding alum while holding a small white jade pestle, her eyes kept looking at Feng Yao, obviously she had something to say, but she didn't dare to ask.

Luluo pushed Ziying's hand, making her move aside: "Just keep an eye on the mortar in your hand, the princess is mixing the lip balm, alum is not added to it."

Zi Ying hurriedly moved aside, bit her lip for a while, and asked: "Princess, is this rouge really for Xin Jieyu?"

"What do you think? I begged for someone's honey, of course I will return some rouge to her." Feng Yao still adjusts it patiently, smelling the smell from time to time, and dabbing some on the back of his hand to see the color.

"But... Didn't the princess say that Master Li is..."

"It's not yet time. I can't rush to say: I want to choose a son-in-law. Who should I tell? Xin Jieyu can't decide."

Feng Yao knew early on that although his father asked Mo Li to choose a son-in-law, he didn't really intend to let him choose.

As for what the father is thinking... One is to reassure Xin Jieyu that Fengjue Kingdom will not treat their siblings badly; the other is to let the news spread back to Yunqing Kingdom, so that Yunqing Kingdom can reach the monarchs and ministers, and the people down to the common people. Everyone knows that the siblings of the Mo family will probably stay in Fengjue Kingdom forever.

The rouge blended with sweet-scented osmanthus honey is really mellow, the color is rich but not alluring; some finely ground gold powder is specially added, and when applied on the lips, it shows a jewel-like color, which is very gorgeous.

Within three days after Zi Ying was sent to Yunqi Pavilion, Xin Jieyu called the palace maid to invite Feng Yao over.Said that she had made new dim sum and asked Feng Yao to try it.

Feng Yao specially asked Zi Ying to choose a lake blue gauze dress for her, inside was a purple lotus embroidered double-breasted short jacket; underneath was a lotus purple pleated skirt.With a string of pearls on the waist, and a pair of buns tied with a blue ribbon on the head, it looks playful and elegant.

They were all dressed up, but Feng Yao was not in a hurry to go out, he waited in Yuexi Pavilion until the end of Youshi, and then went to Yunqi Pavilion with Ziying and Luluo.

As expected, Xin Jieyu did not come out to greet her as usual.On the contrary, Eunuch Chen, the chief servant, went out to pick her up with a smile: "It's a coincidence that the third princess, the emperor came to this Yunqi Pavilion to have tea." The implication is that Xin Jieyu is busy greeting the emperor.

"Please lead the way, Eunuch, I'll go to pay my respects to my father." Feng Yao followed Eunuch Chen inside with a look of joy.

Ziying and Luluo looked at each other, but they didn't know why the princess came at such a time.

As soon as he entered the main hall of Yunqi Pavilion, Feng Yao took a few steps and was about to kneel in front of the emperor. The emperor seemed to be in a very good mood and nodded with a smile.

Xin Jieyu hurriedly came over to help her up, her smile and tone were extremely warm: "I said that the purple air came from the east, so it turned out that the one who came from the east was a beauty in purple clothes."

The emperor also laughed: "Yao'er must be greedy, and specially picked it up to eat snacks and drink tea."

"It's because of father's honor, I don't usually come here." Feng Yao hurriedly lowered his head, grabbed the corner of his clothes and rubbed them twice.

The emperor didn't seem to believe it: "Aren't you coming? I saw that Su Jing's lip balm was adjusted by you."

As soon as the emperor said, Feng Yao raised his head to look, and saw Xin Jieyu's lips were gorgeous, with a little bit of golden brilliance, her whole body looked extremely glamorous.What I used was really the newly delivered box of sweet-scented osmanthus honey flavored lip balm.

"Yes... since Master Li has left the palace, I don't come here often." Feng Yao bowed his head and said suddenly.The emperor and Xin Jieyu were both taken aback.

After a while, Xin Jieyu was busy explaining: "The two of them met before, if it wasn't for the kite flying over the wall, they wouldn't dare to move."

The emperor frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What paper kite?"

Feng Yao was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Father please go to my Yuexi Pavilion, Yao'er will show Father something."

"Show me." The emperor's face darkened, Xin Jieyu didn't dare to make a sound, and stepped back in fright.Eunuch Chen hurried out and asked someone to bring the dragon sedan over.

It was not too far from Yunqi Pavilion to Yuexi Pavilion, Feng Yao just followed behind the dragon sedan chair, head down and walked closely.

After entering the Yuexi Pavilion, the emperor sat in the middle, waiting for Feng Yao to speak, his face seemed to have softened a bit, but he was not sure what he was thinking.

Feng Yao personally went to one side of the cabinet, took out the butterfly paper kite and presented it to the emperor: "Father, please have a look."

"So what?" The emperor took a look, but didn't find anything special about the paper kite.

"That day, when I heard that the second imperial sister wanted to choose a son-in-law, Yaoer remembered that the imperial grandmother had promised Yaoer to choose her favorite son-in-law. So Yaoer wanted to use this paper kite to lead the way and choose one for Yaoer. The beloved comes out. Where the paper kite lands is the beloved chosen by the imperial grandmother for Yaoer."
