Li Longji suddenly felt the urge to laugh. Oh my God, this thing is so crazy. He had calculated it all, but he never expected that Fang Mingzhu would come in disguise after taking off the mask.
Moreover, she also dressed up as a woman she knew, which was clearly telling him:
'I'm just disguised. I just don't want you to see my true appearance. What should you do?'
"What should I do? You annoying little goblin!" Li Longji couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. He seemed to have seen Mingzhu's unique domineering and delicate look, so he just wanted to hug Mingzhu tightly.
Put him in his arms and pamper him. Even Li Longji couldn't explain why he had such strange thoughts. He was obviously being teased so straightforwardly, but not only couldn't he be angry, but he felt even more...
Girls are so smart that people can't help but want to love them.
What Shangguan Wan'er saw was Li Longji's expression at this moment. Wan'er's thoughts suddenly changed:
'This is by no means the surprise he feels when he sees a beautiful woman. It's not the shock he feels when he sees an ugly woman. It's also not the disappointment that a man would instinctively feel when he sees an ordinary-looking woman. It's actually a kind of joy! Joy?
What a strange feeling is this? Why should he be happy when he sees an ordinary-looking woman? And it seems that this woman is older than him!'
Wan'er was puzzled.
At this time, Anle had already introduced Mingzhu to Empress Wei, and Mingzhu followed the training he had just received at the Princess Mansion and saluted Empress Wei.
Unlike Li Longji and Wan'er, Empress Wei was not interested in Mingzhu's appearance. She was more concerned about Mingzhu's craftsmanship.
"You were the one who made the phoenix crown?" Queen Wei asked, her voice full of majesty.
"Yes." Mingzhu knelt on the ground and answered calmly.
Seeing Mingzhu's appearance at this time, Li Longji secretly laughed in his heart:
'This ghost girl is really pretending to be something. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that she could kneel down to others in such a polite way.'
Suddenly, Li Longji's eyes moved and he saw Mingzhu's knees touching the ground. I don't know whether it was because her dress was too thin or Mingzhu was too slender. From this look, the outline of her knees was extremely clear. Li Longji felt inexplicably.
A pain:
'Hey, didn't anyone tell you that when you go to the palace for the first time, you have to kneel for a long time. Don't you know how to change into thicker clothes? Your knees are hurting after kneeling for so long, right?'
Li Longji just kept complaining in his heart that Mingzhu didn't know how to take care of himself, but he didn't realize at all that he had unknowingly become a child.
Here Li Longji was thinking wildly, but over there, Empress Wei's questions continued:
"Your skills are not bad, who did you learn them from?"
"It's a family tradition."
"Oh, who else is there in your family?"
Li Longji's heart moved again, and he found that he was now more concerned about this answer than Empress Wei.
"I," Mingzhu originally wanted to say that she was an orphan, but she felt that if she said that, she would be cursing her mother. Although it was just a response, it was too unlucky, so she simply said, "I still have parents at home.
"
"Oh." Fortunately, Empress Wei just asked casually and didn't really want to know about Mingzhu's family affairs, so she didn't dig into the details too much. Mingzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was glad that she no longer had to make up nonsense.
. Although she has made up a whole set of rhetoric, the lies will always be lies. If she talks too much, people will inevitably hear the loopholes.
So she found an opportunity where Queen Wei didn't say anything and boldly said:
"The daughter of the people was very happy to have an audience with the Queen today, so she made a piece of jewelry specially for the Queen. It was not meant as a sign of respect, but just to express the respect and admiration of the people for the Queen."
"Okay, I don't think you have this intention, so bring it up for a look."
Mingzhu quickly picked up the brocade box - when she knelt down to salute just now, she put the brocade box on the ground beside her. She carefully handed the brocade box to a palace maid, who opened the brocade box respectfully and gave it away.
Arriving in front of Empress Wei.
Queen Wei had already seen Feng Guan, so she had a certain understanding of Mingzhu's craftsmanship, but after she saw the contents of the brocade box, her eyes could not help but shine!
Although Li Longji and Wan'er couldn't see what was in the brocade box, they already knew from Empress Wei's face that another rare treasure had been born!
Anle was also paying attention to her mother's expression. At this time, she saw that her mother was showing great interest in the jewelry in the brocade box. She couldn't help but also showed a proud smile - just like Fang Mingzhu said, she does it every day.
It can help you to please your mother!
Empress Wei gently picked up the jewelry in the brocade box, and Wan'er felt as if Empress Wei was holding a cluster of flames in her hands!
Empress Wei carefully looked at the jewelry in her hands. There was no doubt that it was exquisite and beautiful. However, at first glance, Empress Wei didn't even know where she should wear it. The empress of the entire Tang Dynasty was a majestic queen.
The most noble woman actually has jewelry that she doesn't recognize. This cannot be admitted under any circumstances.
At this time, Anle had already walked to Empress Wei - because before leaving the house, Mingzhu had already told her how to use this piece of jewelry.
Anle gently gathered up the lavender veil that was wrapped in Empress Wei's arms, wrapped it around Empress Wei's shoulders, and then folded it over her right shoulder to form a flower-like shape.
Then he pinned the fiery red jewelry to the knot. It turned out that this was a new pattern designed by Mingzhu based on the modern silk scarf buckle combined with the tulle shawl of the ancient Greek goddess. This way
Later, this veil was fixed on Empress Wei's shoulders. Empress Wei really gained the grace of those Greek goddesses out of thin air - she looked much younger and more elegant.
Queen Wei looked at her own changes in the mirror with satisfaction, and finally her attention was attracted by the red silk scarf button.
I saw that this silk scarf button was completely in the shape of a burning flame. After the pearl was made into a flame with gold foil, it was studded with fine rubies. The texture of the gems was excellent, so it really looked like it under the sunlight.
Like a fire burning!
It turned out that when Mingzhu was making jewelry for Empress Wei today, she couldn't concentrate anyway, and the shadow of flames was always shaking in front of her eyes. Later, she simply made such a bunch of flames to express her endless longing and concern for her friend.
It's all entrusted in these rubies.
At this time, seeing people looking at the silk scarf button with admiration, Mingzhu also felt happy in her heart, but more importantly, she missed the flame. She looked at the flame in Empress Wei's hand from a distance.
', unaware that all the emotions in her heart have been exposed in her eyes!
Li Longji was once again impressed by Mingzhu's exquisite skills and god-sent inspiration. He felt that this girl seemed to have a strange power. She could inject a kind of fanatical power into anything in the world, no matter what.
Whether it was the white silver chrysanthemums or the flames of this cluster of gems, they all stirred up the most secret desire in my heart without exception!
'It's so rare to have a good friend!'
Li Longji said these words in his heart, and at the same time cast his eyes on Mingzhu. He hoped that Mingzhu now had the same idea as him.
But when he raised his head, he happened to see Mingzhu looking at the cluster of 'flames' affectionately!
'No! This is definitely not the look in a woman's eyes when she sees jewelry, absolutely not!' A voice like a tsunami roared in Li Longji's heart, 'Even if this jewelry was designed and made by her own hands, she would not
This is how you should look at it!'
Li Longji claimed that he understood women very well. So he dared to conclude that when a woman looks at something with such an expression, it can only mean one thing - this thing reminds her of someone!
Moreover, it is very likely to be a man!
Li Longji himself also knew that there was no very conclusive reason for his inference, but he still couldn't help but speak. In front of the queen of the dynasty, and in front of a princess with whom he was entangled, he rashly said
Mingzhu spoke. Just because at this moment, the jealousy in his heart towards the man who just might exist took over!
"The shape of this flame is very unique. I don't know how Miss Fang thought of making such a shape!"
Li Longji tried his best to be as gentle and elegant as before, but keen people, especially women, can still easily hear the faint sound of wind and thunder in his voice. Unfortunately, although Mingzhu is extremely smart,
In terms of emotions, she has never been a sensitive person. This may also be because she has been admired and cared for by men since she was a child, so she never has to bother to figure out the meaning of a man's words.
On the contrary to her, Shangguan Wan'er clearly heard the dissatisfaction and anger hidden in Li Longji's words. Wan'er didn't know why Li Longji suddenly became angry, so she quietly looked at Li Longji again
, she hoped that her jade-like eyes could calm the inexplicable mania in Li Longji's heart. Unfortunately, Li Longji's entire attention was now focused on Fang Mingzhu, and he was completely unaware of Wan'er's tenderness! Shangguan Wan
Er's heart couldn't help but slowly began to sink again.
Mingzhu was currently thinking about how to answer Li Longji's words. She wanted to use this opportunity to once again strengthen Empress Wei's interest in her. Therefore, Mingzhu thought to herself for a moment, and a bold idea flashed out.
In the meantime, Mingzhu saluted Li Longji:
"Reporting to the prince, this flame is actually to commemorate a person."
The corners of Li Longji's mouth raised slightly, with uncontrollable sarcasm:
