Rouge then saw Ji Ling sitting sideways in front of the mirror in front of the dressing table in the room.
She put one hand on the mirror and pointed at the clothes on the hanger, which looked like light clouds and thin smoke. She said sadly: "This snow satin is the most fragile. When the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent it to me, it said that it must be protected from beetles."
Bite, I also gave you countless warnings and instructions, but look at the results...!"
She threw the dress to the ground.
Rouge saw that the clothes were like a piece of light snow-green cloud, falling softly to the ground. It could be seen how delicate the material of this clothes was, and the fabric must also be fragile.
Qixi looked horrified, not daring to distinguish anything, but kept saying: "Master! This slave was negligent! This slave deserves to die!" After she finished speaking, she knelt down, picked up the dress, and faced it with trembling hands.
The light was raised to inspect, with a look of anxiety on his face.
Rouge could also see clearly at this time.
There were more than a dozen holes in the back, shoulders and front of the dress.
Some are larger, some are smaller, and the distribution is very irregular. They look like insect bites.
If there were only one or two holes, it might be possible to cover them up, but this piece of clothing is so chewed that it is indeed unwearable.
I guess it must be that Qixi didn't take good care of it, didn't put incense in the suitcase, and didn't take out the clothes to air and dry them in time when the weather was nice, so silverfish naturally appeared.
Qixi said cautiously: "Master, why don't we spend some money and ask the ladies in the sewing room to help think of a way, and maybe we can repair it!".
Gillington said: "Such a soft and beautiful material, if it is broken, it is broken. If it is mended, it can be restored to its original appearance. I don't know whether it can be restored to its original appearance. I wear such mended clothes to Yikun Palace, which is a sign of respect to the concubine Nian.
It’s so disrespectful to celebrate the Queen’s birthday! It would be terrible if someone takes advantage of it!”
Rouge suddenly realized: It turned out that this dress was worn by the noble lady to show off in preparation for the concubine's birthday party last year!
Qixi looked remorseful, Yanzhi looked over from the side, and saw her sniffling, as if she was about to cry, and murmured: "Master, why don't we... let's change some clothes! Nian Fei
On his birthday, does the master have to wear this?"
When Ji Ling heard this, he shook his head and said: "It's easy for you to say that! You know that the emperor will most likely come on Concubine Nian's birthday, and then all the concubines will use all kinds of tricks to dress up. I can't
You’re falling behind.”
She stretched out her hand and wiped her chest, seeming to calm down, and then said: "That's all, it's useless to say this at this time, you can get up.".
Qixi looked remorseful and knelt on the ground without moving.
Ji Ling said with a long face: "Do you still want me to help you?".
Qixi said in fear: "I don't dare! I don't dare!" and then got up.
I heard Ji Ling hate the iron and say: "I just said that you have to dress up according to the emperor's preferences, so that you can firmly tie the emperor.".
Qixi said blankly: "Yes."
Ji Ling took the flag dress made of snow satin from Qixi's hands, weighed it in his hands, and said, "Did you know..." He raised his hand to cover his mouth.
Qixi moved her face closer.
Rouge now wished she had a hundred ears!
Although Ji Ling blocked her mouth, her voice did not become quieter, and she said clearly: "The emperor likes to see women wearing light snow-blue the most, so I often use this color for my inner clothes. It's ridiculous to say that everyone in the harem thinks I am
What is the ability to win favor? In fact, it is just trying to figure out the emperor’s wishes.”
Qixi suddenly understood and said: "No wonder the master always pays attention to the snow-green clothes and pearl flowers. I see!".
Ji Ling nodded and said: "One more thing, you should remember when dressing up for me: the emperor doesn't like his concubines to wear too many beads, as they always feel tacky."
Rouge lowered her eyes slightly, stared at her toes, and turned around quietly like a wild beast that had not yet finished hunting.
She walked away from the door curtain, stepped back a few steps, waited for a while, then deliberately stepped forward, walked to the door of the inner room, supported the door curtain with her back, turned around, struggled to bring the bucket in, and placed it on the ground.
With a sweaty face, he smiled and said: "My noble master, the hot water has been brought. I will serve you, right?".
Qixi stood up, walked over and took the bucket, and said calmly: "No, you can go out."
In the back room.
While Qixi was scrubbing Ji Ling's back and gently rubbing Ji Ling's skin with bright red petals, Qixi asked Ji Ling in a low voice worriedly: "Master, can we really catch this fish like this?"
Ji Ling said "hmm" and whispered: "Yes or no, we will naturally know on the day of Concubine Nian's birthday."
The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, many of the flowers and vines in the Forbidden City withered and bloomed again, and the Imperial Garden was filled with lush greenery. Finally, it was Concubine Nian’s birthday.
It was not yet dawn on this day, but the Yikun Palace was already full of splendor, as if it were daytime.
From the night before to now, no one in the entire Yikun Palace could close their eyes.
From the inside to the outside of the palace, festive crimson palace lanterns were hung, and the pillars were wrapped in birthday celebration silk.
The maids and eunuchs all put on newly made clothes. The young eunuchs all had their braids combed shiny and wore new headbands of the same color. The maids were allowed to put a little light pink on their lips.
You can also apply a little rouge on your face to show your happiness.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs began to carry the rewards to Yikun Palace like a stream of water since the fourth watch.
According to the rules, Concubine Nian got up early on this day to kowtow to the Queen and say hello before all the concubines. After serving tea, the birthday banquet could be held in Yikun Palace.
The first is to show respect for the empress's status in the main palace; the second is because empress Uranala said she was ill more than ten days ago, so naturally she will not attend the birthday banquet of the concubine Nian.
Regardless of whether the empress is really ill or fake, everyone knows it well: let her, the official wife of the Ulanara family, come to Yikun Palace to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Nian...
The Empress must not be able to overcome this hurdle in her heart.
He simply claimed that his illness was not cured and ended up in peace.
Although the queen claimed to be ill, the concubines did not dare not come to pay their respects on this day, even if they just faced the empty seats, drank a few cups of tea, said a few words to each other, and spent some time in the queen's palace.
It can also be called "Greetings to the Queen.".
After that, you can go to Yikun Palace.
What's more, it's Concubine Nian's birthday, which is such a sensitive day.
All the women in the harem are not fools. The Queen and the Nian Concubine are the empresses of the main palace, and their mother's family is so powerful that it almost holds up half the sky of the imperial court.
It's hard to offend both sides.
So on this day, all the concubines came to the Queen's Kunning Palace first, "said hello" to the Queen's empty seat, and then went to Yikun Palace surrounded by flowers and fragrant wind.
Ji Ling naturally did not dare to be careless on this day and got up early.
There are only two types of people who didn't attend last year's concubine's birthday party: one is those who are sick and can't afford it, such as the original owner's illness when Ji Ling just traveled through time.
The body of the original owner, the situation at that time... Not to mention the birthday of the Queen Mother, not to mention the birthday of the Queen Mother, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to get up.
The other type is a concubine who has fallen out of favor.
They were moved to a remote place. They were in the Forbidden City, but they felt like they were thousands of miles away and had long been forgotten.
