Everyone must be taken care of by the palace maid, bathed in incense, and changed their clothes.
Ruyi sat in the mist-shrouded carved wooden basin and enjoyed the long-lost tranquility and comfort.
There were some bright red petals floating on the water. She picked them up with her hands, put them under her nose and smelled them, smelling a sweet fragrance.
The fragrance is fragrant, but it is a bit heavy after all. It would be better if the taste could be lighter.
As soon as Ruyi got out of the bath, there was a palace lady standing next to him holding a brand new and luxurious dress, looking at him with a smile.
Ruyi glanced at the clothes and saw that the surface of the dress was made of fine satin. The legs were thin and dense, stable and not messy. It was obvious that it was of excellent workmanship. The pearls inlaid in the open front part were worth the price.
The price was high. It wasn't that Ruyi was being pretentious, it was just that she was used to wearing simple and elegant clothes, so she was really not used to being asked to wear such expensive clothes suddenly.
She smiled and said, "No need, just bring me the clothes I had before."
Gong E shook her head and said: "Miss, that's not possible. You are the emperor's guest, and we only serve you according to the rules of the palace. If you don't wear it, go back and investigate, and you will think that we have neglected the lady."
Ruyi was afraid of causing trouble to the palace ladies, so she didn't answer any more, so she let them put the dress on her body.
Then the two of them made a bun and pulled up her hair, and one of them painted her eyebrows and applied powder. It took a while to get it right.
The palace maid who painted the eyebrows held Ruyi's cheek and looked over her shoulder into the mirror. The bronze mirror reflected Ruyi's beautiful face, neither humble nor arrogant, neither happy nor worried. The palace maid sighed inadvertently: "Miss, sir.
It’s so pretty.”
Ruyi couldn't help laughing: "What are you talking about? There have always been many beauties in the palace. It is said that the seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards are all the most beautiful beauties. Needless to say, the concubines, I think you are all very beautiful."
"
Gong E added: "I'm not complimenting you, miss. These are your eyebrows, eyes, and mouth. They look really comfortable. Your skin is like cream, and you look good even without makeup. This light make-up is even more amazing."
Ruyi was happy: "Stop praising me, I almost forgot my last name."
These words made all the palace ladies burst into laughter.
Ruyi's belongings were all taken down by Gong E and kept away. After asking, she found out that they would not be returned to her until the day she left the palace. Ruyi understood why she took a shower and changed clothes as soon as she came in. It was not for the sake of being polite to the guests.
, but to ensure the safety of the emperor.
First, they stripped the guests naked, threw them into the bathtub, took a bath, and then put on the clothes brought from the palace. There were no hidden weapons or hidden weapons anywhere. Since the death of Senior Brother, the Changfeng Sword has basically disappeared.
She had left Ruyi's hand, but now that she had entered the palace, it didn't matter what she said. She had to follow the rules of the palace.
Almost an hour later, the people who had separated to bathe in incense gathered together again. Everyone looked like a nobleman... except for Chu Ao, who suffered from facial paralysis.
As soon as she saw Chu Ao's face, Ruyi felt distressed and panicked. She thought about how dashing her sworn brother had been, but he was tortured into such a desolate state...
A few people sat down on the stone benches in the courtyard, and the palace lady brought the top-quality Biluochun that had just been brewed and some pastries made by the imperial kitchen for them to enjoy.
After they chatted for a while, the eunuch came and told them that Long Live Lord was going to summon them in Shouting Palace.
The Shouting Palace is considered the vestibule, where the emperor reviewed memorials after he retired from the court. Although the Yunlai Pavilion where Ruyi and the others lived was in the harem, it was near Yiying Gate and not far from the Shouting Palace, so they came to summon them.
Their eunuch didn't prepare a sedan chair, so they had to walk there on foot.
