The Duke's wife gave up the first-class lady's clothes she used to wear when attending palace banquets, and now wore a darker blue color than Luo Jingyao's, which looked dignified and free-spirited on the Duke's wife.
The temperament honed on the battlefield is something they cannot imitate.
"Auntie, okay, sister."
"Auntie is well, my cousin is so beautiful today."
"My cousin is also a rare beauty." Luo Mingwu was dressed in orange, her beauty could not hide her elegance, her golden steps were inserted in her hair, and her hanging tassels swept over her ears.
He Lingyao is dressed in light green clothes, gentle and fresh. Her hair is partially pulled up with a green streamer, and a tassel forehead chain is added to her forehead, which makes the simple hair accessories a little more playful and smart.
"Let's go." The Duke's wife walked in front and personally helped her daughter get into the carriage before she got on the carriage.
Luo Mingwu and He Lingyao looked at each other and could only get into a carriage at the back. It was impossible to get into a carriage with Luo Jingyao.
only!
He Lingyao thought of Luo Jingyao's clothes and jewelry, and looked at hers again, feeling overwhelmed.
If she had known better, she would not have disliked the clothes made by the embroiderer in the mansion being monotonous and conservative.
This time she and Luo Mingwu did find clothes made by a famous embroidery shop outside. Although the workmanship was more exquisite and beautiful than those made by other small embroidery shops, it was not particularly outstanding.
Because they were not of sufficient status, they were not sent by the Duke's wife to greet them, so the clothes were also made by the apprentices of Mingxiu. There were only a few famous embroiderers, and they would definitely not be given to them.
There is no name or distinction between them. If it were the duchess and his wife who said hello, then the two of them would not be so simple in their clothes today.
Even Luo Jingyao can't compare, let alone other rich girls.
At this moment, He Lingyao resented the Duke's wife. If the Duke's wife hadn't wanted to see them, then even if the clothes they wore today were not made by a famous embroiderer, they would have been made by the embroiderer in the mansion.
And they seemed to have broken through a bottleneck and improved their craftsmanship. They really did something wrong this time. If they had known better, they would have just waited for the government to do it.
I spent a lot of money, but my clothes were not as good as I wanted.
"The clothes my cousin is wearing today are so unique. They are different from what the embroiderers used to do in the house, but they are more exquisite and beautiful." He Lingyao said calmly, with eyes full of envy.
"What do you want to say?" Luo Mingwu is not a soft-hearted person. She has her own opinions on how to behave and do things. She will listen to other people's opinions, but she will also analyze whether it is beneficial to her.
"What is my cousin talking about? Why didn't I understand? What I'm saying is that my cousin's clothes are very beautiful today. If I had known this, we wouldn't have had to do anything else." He Lingyao said with a smile, his lowered eyes covering the displeasure in his eyes.
Joy.
Mrs. Chu is stupid, but this Luo Mingwu is not easy to fool.
After hearing this, Luo Mingwu only had a hint of ridicule in her eyes and said nothing. She really looked down on Luo Jingyao's weak body, but compared to her grandfather's cousin, she disliked this cousin even more. She used the gentlest words
Her attitude is generous and domineering, but her grandmother loves her so much that no one dares to tell her, and no one can even see it.
Only by not getting involved in the fight between them can we see clearly, otherwise she would be played like a chess piece between the hands of He Lingyao and his daughter. In the past, my mother always wanted to get close to them, so she lost face.
As long as she has been there, now that my mother has figured it out, why does she still have any interaction with someone who gets a cheap deal and behaves well?
As for whether she is jealous of Luo Jingyao or looks down on Luo Jingyao?
She was indeed jealous and looked down upon. Luo Jingyao had parents who loved her and a brother who cared about her, but instead she had a sickly body.
She really hates that iron cannot become steel. She hates it so much that it seems that she really hates it. When she was a child, she didn't dare to get close to Luo Jingyao because of her body, for fear that her eldest aunt or the people in the house would think she was bullying her.
To Luo Jingyao.
Gradually, we became estranged, a little better than strangers, but not much.
So she doesn't care whether Luo Jingyao is good or bad.
When she was young, she once thought about why she wasn't her aunt's daughter. How great it would be if she were her aunt's daughter. Sometimes she even thought about how great it would be if Luo Jingyao switched identities with her!
So, sometimes people are very naive.
And on the carriage of the Duke’s wife!
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Guogong looked at her daughter in surprise as she took out a delicate and compact box. After opening it, she began to apply it on her face. She picked up a round lump on her three fingers and pressed it twice into the box.
, and started to apply it on my face.
"Mother, just keep an eye on it." Luo Jingyao raised her eyebrows proudly and said. I feel like no one has seen this thing before.
The Duke's wife really waited for her daughter to fiddle with the box. After wiping it, she changed to the next box. After wiping the next box, there was another box. He took a look at these small boxes and small tools, which were all from the big box next to them.
The things she took out and arranged neatly made her curious as she looked at them.
Under her surprised eyes, her daughter's face turned pale from rosy just now. Isn't this sudden look what a seriously ill person should have?
Although she knew it was fake, the Duke's wife still felt a pain in her heart.
"This is?"
"Everything is fine in our house, so I put on less smear, but when we entered the palace and the situation was unclear, I thought it would be better to cover it up." Luo Jingyao said her worries. She was not a fool.
After all, the emperor didn't marry her to his son even though he knew she was in poor health. You can only imagine how much love he had for his son. If she had a healthy body, how could she be married to his son?
Would the emperor still trust her to marry her? After all, her grandfather was the Marquis of Zhenxi and her father was the Duke of Zhenguo. If she had a healthy body, the old emperor would never let her marry Prince An.
Since the imperial edict cannot be changed for various reasons, and he has a healthy body and a grandfather and father who have a lot of troops, they will definitely come up with other ways to make her really sick since this is the marriage.
Well, she didn't dare to make this bet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She naturally chooses the fake illness versus the real one.
"My son has really grown up. I am happy and heartbroken for my mother." She is happy with her daughter's growth, but also loves her daughter's forced growth. She is only 13 years old. If it hadn't been for this, she would still be doing this by their side.
The little girl is the favorite of the whole family, but after being granted marriage, she will have to marry someone else when the imperial prison chooses a good day.
They are all delicate at home, and they are afraid of bumping into each other, but they have to take care of their husband whose legs are disabled.
How could she bear it and not feel distressed.
"Mom, everyone will grow up, but the growth process is different. Fortunately, I have you and my father, as well as my brother and grandpa. I am much luckier than others. You are my biggest supporter. I still want to
I'm running rampant in Kyoto City, you have to keep me in check."
Luo Jingyao hurriedly asked for advice to prevent her mother from crying again.
"You're a kid who knows how to coax your mother." The Duke's wife lovingly nodded her daughter's straight nose.
"Since mother said that my daughter is coaxing mother, let mother take a look at my daughter's treasure box. Do you like it? Anyway, I have prepared one for you." Luo Jingyao quickly held the makeup box to the Duke's wife.
look.
"Silly boy." The Duke's wife knew that her daughter was deliberately changing the subject to prevent her from getting stuck in this matter, so she followed her daughter's lead.
"Then tell me what these are?" She really didn't know them.
"Then I'll have to trouble Lan Gu to remove my mother's makeup." Luo Jingyao gave up.
"Okay, come on, listen to this girl! My mother will definitely give her makeup to her daughter today. If you don't dress her up as well as before, see if your mother can spare you?" Mrs. Guogong
Deliberately scaring my daughter.
"Don't worry, mother, I have been in poor health for so many years, but my mind is good."
Luo Jingyao waited for Lan Gu to take off the makeup of the Duke's wife, then she rolled up her wide sleeves and started doing it herself.
After going through the formalities step by step, the haggard face of the Duke's wife became fair and translucent. Finally, she applied setting lotion to make her appearance more flattering.
Mrs. Guogong and Lan Gu suddenly opened their eyes wide as they watched Luo Jingyao turn rotten wood into magic.
"How is my mother? Does it look good? I specially prepared such a big box for you at home. When I return home, I will teach my mother how to put on makeup."
The Duke's wife touched her cheeks in disbelief. Her skin was not particularly bad now, but she was old after all. Her skin was incomparable to that of a little girl, but in her daughter's hands,
She dared to compare with that green little girl.
"What is this? So magical?"
"Mother, the things we use here are actually similar to what we usually use, but the texture is more delicate. All the things will be better for our skin. After we put it on, it will not hurt our skin, but will protect our skin.
skin."
"First wash your face with warm water, then squeeze this into the palm of your hand to make a lather to wash your face, and use the rest. Mom, you see, this lip balm comes in several colors, and the lip balm also comes in several flavors. This eyebrow pencil is more
Of course, there is also this. Apply small and even dots on the brush to brush the eyelashes to make them thicker and curlier..." It's a pity that the bottle was put back into the system space for fear of revealing its contents. This is a small box used to store it.
She would go and see if it could be built later.
Luo Jingyao took it out and said it to the Duke's wife, and she also said it to Lan Gu and others who were serving the Duke's wife.
"You girl, you have been tinkering with this all day in the house. You are so smart. You are worthy of being born to me. This little thing is really useful."
Luo Jingyao Hehe Zhile, she didn't make this thing. She couldn't make it for just such a period of time. She coaxed it from the cheap system. She told Xiao Tongzi that it's better to teach someone to fish than to give him a fish.
People are like fishes, so she worked with that little idiot to get even the recipe. From now on, there will be a steady stream of money!
Well, that's right, this is what she got up to play with in the middle of the night when she couldn't sleep, and woke up the small system that was sleeping to repair herself, and repaid her kindness for saving the country.
Oh, in order to buy her such a complete set of cosmetics, the little system fell asleep again. This system is not as good as her body.
The sick master,
Illness and Waiwaitongzi.
Xiao Tongzi: There is something in her heart that she doesn’t know whether to say or not. If she says it, will the host dig it out of her hand? If she doesn’t say it, she will feel aggrieved.
"Don't be nervous when you get to the palace. Follow mother. If you girls are asked to go outside to play, don't be afraid. Just follow."
"You two must also guard your young lady at all times."
"It's Madam, the slaves will definitely take good care of Miss." They are not strangers in the palace, and they even know the palace rules better than Miss. At that time, Miss was in poor health, so they learned to take good care of Miss, and Mrs.
The second palace banquet took them to study and teach them.
"Mother, it's okay. My daughter is already King An's quasi-princess."
"Silly girl, you don't understand." Compared with power, there is nothing that a little girl with poor health can't do. At worst, she will get married and wait until things happen...
She didn't even dare to think about it. The Duke's wife closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Luo Jingyao was sensible and stopped talking.
The sound of clattering carriages became more and more frequent, and the speed became slower and slower.
The carriages of the Duke's Mansion moved forward slowly according to their specifications.
The towering palace walls are magnificent.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting at the palace gate led the female family members towards the queen's palace.
No matter what the banquet is, always pay a visit to the Queen first.
Luo Jingyao felt the glances from all directions. She was one of the stable ones. She had felt this kind of gaze every day in her previous life. No matter it was kind or sinister, she would not reject anyone who came. Likewise, she was invulnerable.
"Don't be afraid, cousin. When you come out more and get familiar with each other, you won't be so curious." He Lingyao walked to Luo Jingyao and vaguely wanted to help Luo Jingyao, but Luo Jingyao remained calm.
escaped.
"It seems that my cousin is very familiar with this kind of environment. Then my cousin will bother you and ask you to tell me more." Luo Jingyao smiled, her eyes curled into crescents, and she said with an adoring but embarrassed look on her face.
Luo Mingwu from behind looked up in surprise and glanced at Luo Jingyao's back. When did this cousin become so smiling and choked?
He Lingyao paused and followed closely.
"Although my cousin has been out of the house a few more times than my cousin, my cousin has never participated in such a banquet. My cousin also knows a little bit about it, so I can't help my cousin solve my doubts. But we can learn and make progress together."
"After all, she is much better than my cousin. My cousin is not up to par. She can't even learn the palace rules or avoid making a fool of herself. However, the old lady loves her cousin so much that she pays a high price for a nun to teach her the rules.
, I think my cousin knows these rules very well, and this is something that my cousin cannot compare to."
The Duke's wife walked dignifiedly along the way. When she met someone she knew, she nodded, and the smile on her face did not change. But when she heard her daughter and He Lingyao's verbal exchanges, a smile appeared in her eyes.
She had never seen such a daughter before, and it was also what she had been looking forward to.
