Peach Blossom Makeup

Chapter 216 Prince Consort: I prefer to tear skirts

On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, Concubine Luo's 16th birthday.

On this day, it was sunny in winter, and after a few days of heavy snowfall, the entire capital city was filled with warm light, like a cloud of holy light. It was a very good weather.

Concubine Luo hadn't woken up yet, outside the princess mansion, Lao Gao's carriage with two bases arrived, the wheels were struggling, it was obvious that the load was heavy.

The concierge of the princess' mansion opened the door, and the driver on the carriage with a whip yelled loudly, "The king's son-in-law and the princess are giving birthday presents."

Hearing that it was the son-in-law, the concierge hurriedly opened the side of the painted red gate, and led two carriages in.

When the carriage arrived at the end of the field, Gong'e hurriedly reported to Concubine Luo, the coachman jumped off the shaft, and judging by his movements, he was actually a solid trainer.

The coachman touched his face, exhaled white mist, and ordered the accompanying people to quickly untie the ropes and tarpaulins on the cart.

When Concubine Luo came over after tidying up, the animal furs of various colors in the two carriages almost dazzled her peach blossom eyes.

Those furs, each one is pure in color, and the skin is also very complete, it can be seen that a lot of thought has been spent.

Seeing Concubine Luo, the coachman immediately stepped forward to pay respects, took out a letter from his pocket, and presented it with both hands, "Princess, this is a birthday gift from the son-in-law to the princess, including 25 pieces of silver fox fur and [-] pieces of Firefox. Zhang, [-] pieces of sable skins and so on are not counted, and there are countless sizes of Western Region gemstones of various colors at the bottom of the car, this is the gift list."

Shouyang took it first, and then handed it over to Concubine Luo after no difference.

Concubine Luo opened the letter, and sure enough, there was a long and neatly folded gift list inside, everything from furs to gems, as well as delicate and small jewelry and rouge and gouache from foreigners in the Western Regions.

What's more, Concubine Luo looked sideways, at the end of the gift list was a long dress from the Great Moon Kingdom in the Western Regions.

She raised her eyebrows, she liked the birthday gift, especially the foreign skirt, so her eyebrows softened, "Come here, take him down so that you can rest, and when you go back, tell the son-in-law, I like the birthday gift very much."

After handing in the errand and getting a reply from the princess, the coachman laughed a few times and followed Gong'e down to rest.

Concubine Luo asked the guards to unload the two carts of furs into the warehouse, and asked Huai Xu, who was in charge of the accounts, to count and enter the accounts, and then divided the furs into three parts, and sent two parts to the queen mother and emperor in the palace. The remaining gems, jewelry, rouge, etc. , the queen mother can't be left behind.

As for the long dress from the Great Moon Kingdom, she immediately asked someone to take it out and place it in her bedroom.

That long dress has layers of flared cuffs that only reach the elbows, just right to reveal the white and bright wrists of Concubine Luo bullying Shuang Saixue. The collar is low and connected to the chest, revealing the entire round shoulders and a small half With snow-white breasts, you can almost see the soft and alluring curves.

On the right shoulder, there are also colorful peacock feathers, which stand up slightly, delicate and elegant.

The waist is slender, and there are crossed thin belts on the back. If someone else wears it, that waist alone will not be able to get in, but Concubine Luo is different. Her waist is naturally soft like a water snake. The size is just right.

The hem of the skirt is extremely large and thick, with gorgeous crimson purple on both sides, like the purest purple grapes, and a delicately shaped butterfly at the back of the waist, with a long pendant hanging down, the crimson purple outer skirt Let the butterflies of different sizes be pulled up and buckled with purple gemstones, bringing out the radians of mountains and mountains.

The exposed underskirt is covered with emerald green or chicken oil yellow gemstones of various shapes, winding into graceful circles, like vines full of vitality in spring.

The innermost one is a herringbone skirt.

After Concubine Luo put it on, her bulging chest was ready to be exposed, her slender waist was lined with a fluffy skirt, her black hair was loose, and she exuded a thrilling beauty.

Even though she was used to Concubine Luo's color, Liugong'e couldn't come back to her senses for a while, but Yingshi saw the violation, and she said, "My servant heard from Prince Tuka of Persia that the hairstyles of women in the Western Regions are the same as those of big boys." Yin is different."

As she spoke, she took out the remaining headgear from under the box.

The tiara was a shining crown, with a huge crystal-like gemstone in the middle, but it was even more eye-catching than the crystal. Holding it in the hand and changing the direction, it could reflect various colors.

Although she doesn't know much about the buns of the Great Moon Kingdom, Yingshi decided to make a suitable hairstyle based on the words and phrases that the Persian prince Tuka had said to her in the past, and put the crown on carefully.

Concubine Luo looked at her different self in the glass mirror that was as tall as others, she turned around very satisfied, raised the corners of her mouth, and said proudly, "It's hard for me, it's so eye-catching."

Liu Gong'e knew Concubine Luo's duplicity, and she clearly liked the birthday gift from her son-in-law very much, otherwise, she would have gone back to the bedroom to change it as soon as she received it.

She touched her neck, she was not used to being naked, "It's chilly."

Yingshi turned around and touched a sable shawl from the shelf, and put it on Concubine Luo's arms, which not only covered the exposed skin, but also matched the long skirt very well.

Concubine Luo raised her chin, "Someone should come from the palace, follow me out."

Liu Gong'e all responded with smiles on their faces, and stood in two rows on the left and right, following Concubine Luo, and walked out step by step.

Concubine Luo, who walked out, amazed everyone in her gorgeous long dress, even the servants in the princess mansion who were working, were so shocked that they forgot what they were doing.

The gift from the palace had arrived long ago. After Concubine Luo received it, she turned the corner to the lotus greenhouse in the back house. The greenhouse over there was specially built for her by the emperor's brother when he built the mansion. There are all kinds of rare lotus flowers in the garden. , and regardless of the season, lotus flowers of various colors bloom in all seasons, very beautiful.

As soon as Concubine Luo entered the conservatory, she didn't feel cold at all. Tables and melons and fruits were arranged on the open space of the conservatory, and the female family members who came earlier were whispering in twos and threes.

The eunuch screamed, "Concubine Luo is here——"

Everyone looked sideways, and Concubine Luo's dress dazzled her eyes, and she was slightly absent-minded.

Concubine Luo blinked, her eyebrows were majestic and delicate, "Everyone can do whatever they want today, I don't have a big birthday."

As soon as she opened her mouth, all the people came back to their senses, hurriedly gathered their knees and saluted, and shouted together, "I have met the eldest princess, the princess is forever happy."

Concubine Luo stretched out her hand to pretense, "Excuse me."

All the wives and ladies exchanged greetings with Concubine Luo unnaturally, and there was a lot of flattery in their words.

The eunuch who received the gift list from the Princess Mansion came in and asked Concubine Luo, "Princess, but I have to sing the ceremony."

This so-called chanting ceremony is just reading out the list of gifts in front of everyone. Some people feel honored, while others feel humbled and embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Luo was in a good mood today, she waved her hand and said, "No need, I don't want to celebrate my birthday, the hospitality is hard to refuse, since you are here, I have no choice but to treat each other with courtesy."

The eunuch retreated silently, Concubine Luo didn't even send out an invitation today, but early in the morning, almost all the noble ladies and ladies in the capital came, so she had to show her face, fortunately everyone knew, Currently the son-in-law is in Rongzhou, not in the Princess Mansion, and no male guests came to the door today.

Concubine Luo sat with her for a while, seeing all the people looking at her long skirt from time to time, she thought it was novel at first, but it became boring after staying for a while, so she found an excuse and went back to the bedroom.

Taking off a long skirt, Concubine Luo put back on the light clothes. When she touched the smooth fabric of the long skirt, complex colors appeared in her eyes.

A few days ago, since she entered the palace and told the emperor's elder brother that she would adopt the eldest son in the future, the elder brother who had never blushed with her since she was a child, immediately became sullen.

The Empress Dowager also felt that something was wrong at the time, after all, Qin Shou was not something she could control, and in the opinion of the family, the status of the eldest son was so important, even if she agreed, Qin Shou might not necessarily nod.

And having a child has always been a matter of two people.

She told about the Nanban holy medicine at that time, and said that even if she was pregnant with a child, she would not let the son-in-law know about it, and only let her brother be in the harem at the same time, spreading rumors of a concubine being pregnant.

In this way, when she gave birth to an heir, if she was the eldest son, he would be brought into the palace, and would be raised under the elder brother's name without anyone noticing.

In the future, even if she misses the child, she can find any excuse and bring him to the Princess Mansion.

She thought that this calculation was perfect, since it could solve her brother's infertility problem, she didn't have to seize the country that belonged to her brother, and she didn't have to get involved with Qin Shou because of having children.

She thought that the queen mother would object, but unexpectedly, the person who refused to agree in the end was actually her elder brother.

To this day, the emperor's elder brother still refuses to let go.

She didn't know if her brother was afraid of Qin Shou, or if he didn't want to be in that position anymore and felt it was a burden, so he wanted to hand over this responsibility to her.

In the bedroom, Concubine Luo sighed quietly, she put the long skirt into the box by herself, and finally sealed it and locked it.

Later that day, she quietly entered the palace, instead of going to the Empress Dowager's Yanbo Palace, she went directly to the South Study Room.

The emperor Xi Chaosheng frowned and was still reviewing the memorial. His face was expressionless, but Concubine Luo looked at the door and felt in a trance that her brother's shoulders were slumped. .

She stopped the eunuch who wanted to report, went straight in, poured a cup of herbal tea for the emperor, and pushed it to his hand.

The emperor paused, looked up, and saw that it was Concubine Luo.

He smiled habitually, "Why is Mimi here? You are at your age, but you went to the mother's side, and the mother said that she would cook longevity noodles for herself."

Concubine Luo sat down next to Xi Chaosheng. She stared at him for a long time before she said coldly, "Brother, do you feel that the position of emperor is a burden to you? Do you want to continue?"

Hearing this, the smile on the emperor's face faded in an instant. He put down the teacup and said after deliberation, "Mimi thinks so?"

Concubine Luo nodded, "Otherwise, why doesn't brother agree to Mimi's adoption?"

The emperor pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and said slowly, "Mimi should know that I am not very suitable for this position, but as a man, if Mimi is also a man, the candidate that Empress Momo used to consider would not be me. "

"But I..." Concubine Luo didn't want to see such a sad brother.

The emperor interrupted her with a wave of his hand, "It's a fact. Mimi doesn't need to comfort me. In fact, I understand very well that this imperial palace is no different from a cage to me."

"Of course, if that's the case, I'm not the kind of cowardly and evasive person, and I won't just leave this burden on you and let it go selfishly..."

"As a man, I can actually understand the mind of the son-in-law to some extent. With his ability, if he really has the intention of treason, he is probably easy to get. Whether it is me, you, or the queen mother, it is not his. Opponent, rather than the matter getting to the point of no return, it is better for me to back down first."

"And I didn't give this son to him, but Mimi you and your future eldest son. In this way, how can the son-in-law find an excuse to make trouble, and I'm afraid he will try his best to help you."

"I've thought about it too. I will negotiate with the son-in-law. Most likely, Mimi's eldest son will have the same mother's surname. In this way, Da Yin will still belong to the rest family."

"Mimi and the son-in-law will definitely make Da Yin more prosperous than when he was in my hands..."

The country is prosperous and the people are safe, the people are peaceful and happy, and the Great Yin is prosperous. This is the most important thing!
