Hearing this, Tongye immediately shook his head with a smile and said, "My Lady, there's no need to ask."
"Uh..." Zhenliang thought that Tongye was sure that no one in Qiongyu Palace could make animal skin masks, so he thought about it and said, "Then go to other places to inquire?"
Tongye smiled and shook his head again, "My dear, there's no need to ask."
Looking at Tong Ye's confident and mysterious look, Zhenliang looked at her suspiciously and said, "No need to ask, what does it mean? You already knew that no one in this palace can make animal skin masks.
Or do you already know who can make animal skin masks?"
"Your Majesty, you are smart." Tongye gave a thumbs up to Zhenliang, "The latter."
Zhenliang's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had saved the time of confused inquiries, and asked excitedly, "Where is he?"
Tongye pointed to the sky, "Far away in the horizon."
"Is it so close?" Zhenliang looked at Tongye and then at Tieye, who had been struggling to hold back his smile. "Could it be that one of you two knows how to make an animal skin mask? It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Tong Ye winked at Tie Ye, and Tie Ye immediately stepped forward and replied with a smile, "I would like to inform you, my wife owns a tailor shop. Before entering the palace, I was already good at tailoring clothes, and I am also good at tailoring."
Good girl Hong, if the empress trusts me, I can let me have a try."
Zhenliang was overjoyed and held Tie Ye's shoulders, nodding repeatedly, "I can believe it, I can believe it, how can I not believe it? The Queen Mother doesn't like me wearing a veil to see people, so I will wear a mask to see people, so there is no problem, right?"
Several girls nodded in unison, "What a good idea."
Masks indeed have many more benefits than veils. Masks fit the face better than veils, are more reliable and will not fall off easily, and can always expose the facial features, especially the mouth. It is so cool that you no longer have to lift it with one hand when eating.
Open the veil and eat with one hand.
If we must find a shortcoming, it would be that unless the person making the animal skin mask has the ability to disguise himself and can draw a beautiful face on the mask, the mask will not be as effective at covering the face as the veil.
The dreamy effect it brings is effective.
Of course, Zhenliang never realized how beautiful she looked wearing a veil, but even if she knew that the Queen Mother had caught her being picky at this moment, she definitely didn't want to be beautiful but wanted to be comfortable.
On the surface, it looked like she had compromised the Queen Mother's power, but in fact, she still had a way to make the Queen Mother clearly angry with her, but unable to accuse her.
Tie Ye said, "Your Majesty, I can use silk thread to embroider various faces. I wonder what style of mask you would like me to embroider?"
Zhenliang already had an idea in mind, and grinned brightly, "Animals."
"Animals?" The four girls were dumbfounded, fearing that they heard wrongly. Although they had also seen animal-shaped masks, after all, the empress did not wear them on special festivals, but needed to wear them in front of others every day.
The shape of the animal seems too inappropriate.
Zhenliang had already anticipated their reaction and nodded affirmatively, "Yes, we need animals. Tie Ye, you can go and make me an animal mask now. It's best if you can make it more realistic."
Even if they don’t look alike, I will also like them. Anyway, I only have one request: they look cute.”
Tie Ye asked anxiously, "Aren't you kidding me?"
Zhenliang shook his head, "No kidding, as long as you can make it, I will immediately throw away the veil and wear it. In the next few days, you just stay in the room and make various animal-shaped masks for me, and you don't have to do anything else.
.go quickly!"
Tie Ye was stunned, and after receiving the encouraging looks from the other three girls, he pursed his lips and smiled, "Mother, I will never let you down."
Then, Tie Ye ran away, seemingly delighted with his new job.
Not long after Zhenliang returned to the Qiongyu Palace, he took a nap.
When she woke up, as soon as she sat up from the bed, she was delighted to find a cat-face mask lying quietly on her pillow.
The movements of this iron leaf are really fast.
Zhenliang took the mask in his hand and took a closer look. The mask should be made of sheepskin. The three-dimensional patterns of the cat's face were all embroidered with fine palace silk thread. Although it was different from the realistic cat face, it already had the characteristics of a cat.
The morphological elements of the face make people think it is a cat face, but they will never mistake it for a tiger face.
Jumping out of bed, Zhenliang put the cat-face mask on his face and looked at the bronze mirror. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
Although the image of her wearing a mask at the moment is more attractive than the image of her wearing a veil before, from low-key to high-profile, it is more to her liking than the veil. It not only makes her life more convenient, but also makes her think about her own face.
What I am wearing makes me feel that there is still fun in boring life.
Zhenliang was in such a good mood that for a moment he completely forgot about the tragic fact that he had to go to bed after dark. He imitated a cat, clasped his hands into paws, jumped up and down in the bedroom, and meowed softly.
,"Meow meow……"
Because of the cat face mask, Ma Ryo felt that she had become childish in an instant, but she liked her childishness at the moment.
In this palace that she didn't like, if she wasn't more childish, wouldn't she be suffocated to death?
When Zhenliang reached about the seventh or eighth lap, a pair of man's feet suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Zhenliang stared blankly at the half-open door behind the man's feet, slowly raised his head, and met a pair of familiar cold phoenix eyes.
While blushing instantly, Zhenliang cursed in his heart, when did this damn Nangong Lie come in, and how long did he watch her being a kitten? Why is he as silent as a ghost?
Slowly standing up straight, Zhenliang knew how to salute him, but he didn't salute him. Instead, he asked coldly, "Why is the emperor here?"
When the emperor comes to Qiongyu Palace in person, don't the eunuchs have to shout "The emperor is here" in a high voice? Are all the eunuchs in Qiongyu Palace asleep?
As everyone knows, as soon as Nangong Lie stepped into Qiongyu Palace, everyone else was asked to be silent. So who dares to shout "The Emperor is here" without causing trouble? Unless he is tired of living.
Nangong Lie did not answer Zhenliang's words, but walked closer to Zhenliang step by step.
This man was so imposing that when he saw him approaching, he stepped back step by step like a reflex.
Finally, Zhenliang's back was pressed against the table, and there was no way to retreat.
When the man was only half a step away from her, he also stopped.
What hit Zhenliang's face was the faint smell of alcohol. Although it didn't smell like wine, it seemed to have a more intimidating aura. Zhenliang's face turned red to the roots of his ears and he said in a slightly trembling voice, "Your Majesty, you have drunk wine."
Already?"
Nangong Lie seemed to still disdain to answer her question. He went straight to the point, looked at her with a fiery and hazy look and said, "Give me a child."
Zhenliang was frightened, and immediately lowered his face and said, "Your Majesty, you are drunk."
Nangong Lie stretched out a hand, held Zhenliang's chin and raised it slightly, saying, "Whether I am drunk or not has no conflict with whether you will give me a child or not."
"Why is there no contradiction?" Zhenliang endured the pain in his jaw and said confidently, "If a woman becomes pregnant when a man drinks alcohol, it is very likely that the fetus will be unhealthy. In the least case, the body will be poor, and in the worst case, it will become deformed or stupid.
"
Nangong Liejun's face was full of disdain, "Who said this?"
Zhenliang wanted to say that it was Ju Chenguang who said it, but he was afraid that he would suffer for no reason, so he said, "Educated doctors say so. If you don't believe it, the emperor himself should ask the imperial physician in the palace."
"I will ask afterward. If anyone dares to say yes, I will chop off his head."
Zhenliang was really lucky that she didn't move Ju Chenguang out just now, and she said angrily, "The first thing the emperor wants to chop off is my concubine's head."
"Your head? I don't care about it. What I care about is that you can give me a child." The smell of alcohol on Nangong Lie was not strong, but the words he said and the look in his eyes made Zhenliang feel confused.
, he was seriously drunk, otherwise, how could he say such nonsense?
Zhenliang couldn't help but sneer, "The emperor really knows how to joke. There are three thousand beauties in the harem of the emperor. No one can give birth to a child, but his concubine, because my concubine is the most unsuitable woman in the harem to give birth to the emperor's child. No."
I am not happy, but if I give birth to a child for the emperor, I will definitely harm the child and the emperor."
"Why are you harming your children and me? Give me three reasons, otherwise I will tell you that you are talking nonsense." Nangong Lie let go of Zhenliang's chin, but suddenly held her shoulders with both hands, and put his handsome face close to her forehead.
To the forehead.
Although there was a sheepskin mask between their foreheads, because the distance was too close and their breaths were intertwined, Zhenliang's face could not fade away.
Not to mention three reasons, but ten reasons. Zhenliang felt that he could easily make them up.
"The first reason," Zhenliang pointed to both cheeks behind her mask, said, "Although I am not born with these brown spots, they are still deeply rooted. If I am pregnant with the emperor's child, these brown spots will
I'm afraid it will be passed on to the child. It doesn't matter if I am laughed at, but how can the emperor's child be laughed at? Therefore, I don't want to have this child."
The corners of Nangong Lie's lips raised slightly, and he judged after half a minute, "This reason is barely acceptable. I'll consider you a pass. Let's continue."
Zhenliang's eyes rolled, "I read from a book left by a miracle doctor that if there is a blood relationship between a man and a woman within three generations, most of the children born will have serious problems. Concubine
We are cousins with the Emperor, and although it is not uncommon for cousins to get married, there is indeed a high possibility that cousins getting married will give birth to a bad fetus."
Nangong Lie asked, "Deformed or stupid?"
Zhenliang nodded.
Nangong Lie's mouth showed a sarcastic sneer, "Your grandmother and grandfather are cousins who got married. Do you think who has the problem between your mother and the Queen Mother?"
"Ahem..." Zhenliang almost choked to death at his words, and emphasized, "They are just lucky and have become one of the few people who have not suffered."
"I firmly believe that your children and I will become one of the few people who will not suffer." Nangong Lie said in a stubborn tone.
