Hehua thought that Zhu Yaer had changed her mind and wanted to cheer up and fight for favor again, and she was very happy. If the empress was willing to fight for favor, there would be nothing to worry about other concubines.
She washed Zhu Yaer's face carefully, and then took out the rouge that Su Yueling sent - it was just the right time for the princess to send this rouge.
Zhu Yaer looked at her focused gaze and felt a little sad in her heart: She had never regarded Hehua as a confidant, but these days, there was only Hehua who stayed with her without any distractions, taking good care of her body and thinking about her. And
I don't know how many of the people who serve in her palace care about their husband and the Xie family. He Hua is actually the only one who really cares about her.
After Hehua painted her makeup, she smiled brightly and said, "The rouge sent by the princess is really good. It looks very natural after applying it. It makes you look much better, master." Princess Wei is indeed a popular benchmark in the capital.
She brought a mirror to Zhu Ya'er to look at. Mirrors were no longer a particularly rare thing. A favored concubine like Zhu Ya'er naturally had no shortage of mirrors.
Due to a severe illness, Zhu Yaer's face lost a lot of weight, and her originally fair skin became dull. But after applying powder and rouge, she regained seventy percent of her pre-illness beauty. Because between her eyebrows
The gloomy color also adds to the charming charm.
Hehua chose a moon-white skirt for her and put on a plum blossom hairpin.
After finishing her makeup, Zhu Yaer went to the kitchen in person and made a milk cake that the emperor liked.
She is now weak, and after finishing this milk cake, she feels extremely tired.
After making the snacks, she personally carried the food box to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Naturally, the place where the emperor worked was not something she could just go to if she wanted to. She had to ask the chamberlain for permission first. When the emperor heard about Zhu Yaer's request for a meeting, he put down the book in his hand and took the time to see Zhu Yaer.
When Zhu Ya'er saw him, she smiled sweetly. Her smile was different from the charming and charming smile she had deliberately made in the past, and it had an indescribable taste.
Rong Ji sighed, "You are not in good health. You can take good care of yourself in the palace. Why do you need to cook in person and go all the way?"
Zhu Yaer said: "I just thought that I haven't made anything for His Majesty for a long time, and I'm afraid that Your Majesty will forget my craftsmanship."
In any case, she was able to avoid being bullied by others in the palace during this period, thanks to the care of the emperor and the queen.
Rong Ji tasted a piece of dim sum and said, "It tastes very good. Your skills have not deteriorated."
Zhu Yaer pursed her lips and smiled, "Which tea cakes are better made by me or Empress Huibin's?"
Rong Ji said: "The queen and I don't like things that are too sweet, so what you make is more in line with our taste."
Zhu Yaer looked a little more relieved. She always felt that no matter what she did, she couldn't compare to her husband, especially the tea cakes. It turned out that there was still someone who liked what she made more.
She remembered her purpose and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to intercede for Concubine De."
"Empress De Fei is also a mother. Comparing her feelings with others, I believe she will not be the one who framed me and caused me to lose my child. Empress De Concubine's heart is not that cruel."
There is no need for innocent people to take the blame.
After her faith collapsed, she peeled off the halo of her admiration for Xie Yunzi and looked back at her husband's actions after entering the palace. Zhu Yaer finally realized that what she admired and admired was actually just the noble image in her imagination. From then on
From the beginning, the husband only regarded her as a useful chess piece. She pretended to be a wandering crane from behind, encouraging her to charge into battle for her.
In her heart, she should look down on her and her once humble status. She was so cruel to her that she even tampered with the medicine she drank. Every day when she lay in bed, she could feel the vitality in her body bit by bit.
Time passed. She knew that she might not live long. The husband she wanted to protect did not want her to live. This truth was too cruel.
From beginning to end, this was just her wishful thinking.
The scene when the husband picked her out from a group of people came to mind. At that time, she was standing in the sun, with a gentle look on her face, like a goddess.
Zhu Yaer showed a bitter smile. She still couldn't betray Xie Yunzi. The only thing she could do was to intercede for the truly innocent Concubine De.
Although De Fei is stupid, her ambitions in her heart were deliberately aroused by her and her husband at the beginning.
Rong Ji sighed and said, "Since you said so..."
His expression turned serious, "Come here and announce the decree."
…
Xie Yunzi was picking orchids in the garden, exuding a leisurely and contented atmosphere.
"I heard that Princess Wenmin has returned to the palace. These orchids will be sent to the princess."
The palace attendants took it respectfully and went out with the flowers in their hands.
Xie Yunzi continued to pick flowers, "Qianqian, pick some sweet-scented osmanthus and send them to Changqiu Palace."
There are currently no concubines in the main hall of Changqiu Palace, only Zhu Yaer lives in the side hall, and this osmanthus flower was sent to Zhu Yaer. The ones that Xie Yunzi raised personally were only given to a few, and Zhu Yaer was not up to this level.
So letting people send her flowers is just to maintain her external image.
She picked some chrysanthemums herself and prepared to make chrysanthemum tea.
She carefully selected the flowers, with a friendly smile on her lips because she was in a good mood.
"Your Majesty, Huimei has specially dressed up to go see the Emperor."
The thorns on the flower pricked into my finger, and blood dripped out.
Xie Yunzi let go of her hand and wiped her bleeding fingers with a handkerchief.
"Will Huimei betray the empress?"
Xie Yunzi opened her red lips lightly, and the smile on her face faded a lot, "No, even if she guesses that it was me who did it, she won't tell the truth."
"Her relatives are still in Xinzhou."
"What's more, I didn't leave any evidence."
If Zhu Yaer tells the truth, her relationship with her will be exposed. She framed Concubine De and plotted against Luo Cairen, all of which she did personally and had nothing to do with her.
The palace maid's eyebrows relaxed.
Xie Yunzi made herself a cup of chrysanthemum tea and slowly drank in the aroma of the tea.
When she was halfway through drinking, a palace official hurried over with a lingering anxiety on his face.
"Your Majesty, Huimei is interceding for Concubine De, and the emperor has lifted Concubine De's stay-at-home order."
Xie Yunzi frowned, was Zhu Yaer deliberately stabbing her in the heart? She didn't dare to truly betray him, so she could only use this small and painless method.
She said calmly: "Since she interceded for Concubine De, I think Concubine De must be innocent."
Looking at the hesitant palace man, Xie Yunzi asked: "What else happened?"
The palace man knelt on the ground, his head hanging low, "The emperor felt pity for Huimei's loss of her son, and named her Hui Concubine."
As if being hit on the head by a thousand-jin stone, Xie Yunzi's mind went blank, the cup in her hand fell down, and the hot tea soaked her skirt.
