Chapter 45 Makeup
Ling Xuan pressed Yuhu's shoulders with both hands, and was about to kiss those delicate lips when he heard the report from the maid outside: "Your Highness!"
"What's the matter!" Ling Xuan frowned and shouted sideways, no one was happy to be spoiled at this time.
"Ah...the empress asked the eldest prince and the third prince to come over, saying that they have something important to discuss." The maid said tremblingly outside.
"Understood!" Ling Xuanji shouted unwillingly, the queen mother really didn't know how to pick the time, what did she ask herself to do at this time.
When Ling Xuan turned around, he saw Yuhu's small face let out a breath, and the expression on that face obviously showed that he had escaped.
"What? Very happy?" Ling Xuan asked with a sneer, although the corner of his mouth was smiling, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.
"No...no...hey, what a coincidence." Yuhu immediately put on a regretful face.
"It's okay, let's continue, don't worry about it." After finishing speaking, Ling Xuan wanted to lower his body again, to see how long this little guy's lie could persist.
"No!" Yuhu rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go see the empress, if it's late, it would be disrespectful to her."
"Heh... When did you respect my queen mother? It seems like you haven't seen her twice." Ling Xuan said with a light smile, but stood up without bothering her anymore.
Yuhu straightened his clothes and said, "It's not about the number of times..." He was obviously guilty, but he didn't even remember what the queen looked like.
Ling Xuan didn't speak any more, and walked out of the East Palace with Yuhu, and the two of them came to the Queen's bedroom after a while.
As soon as Yuhu entered, he could smell the fragrance of Buddha. Sure enough, after entering the inner room, he saw a statue of Guanyin standing there.
"I will see my mother." Ling Xuan bowed and said, and the jade fox beside him also saluted, saying: "All blessings, sister-in-law."
"Okay, we're all from our own family, so we don't have that much courtesy." The queen said lazily while sitting on the soft couch, with one hand propping up the low table, and the other stroking a puppy on her lap. This puppy belonged to the empress. Baby, it even eats better than the servants. This dog is also very arrogant. Except for the emperor and the queen, it barks at everyone and bites at every turn. The servants dare not speak out.
"Why is there a puppy?" Yuhu stepped forward curiously, unexpectedly the dog barked wildly as soon as Yuhu stepped forward.
The queen was startled, and immediately comforted the puppy, and said with a helpless smile: "If others don't touch it, it won't bark like that. What is it today?"
"Really?" There was a smile on the corner of Yuhu's mouth, and he walked a few steps forward, only to see that the puppy's thin body was trembling besides barking.
"What's the matter today?" The queen frowned, why is her puppy so afraid of Yuhu.
"Hehe..." Yuhu thought it was amused, and stretched out his hands to reach the puppy, but the puppy shrank pitifully into the Queen's arms, trembling all over, making the sound of an animal in crisis.
"The queen mother's little dog has always been domineering in the palace, and today I have encountered a big enemy." Ling Xuan glanced at Yuhu and said with a smile.
Yuhu glared at Ling Xuan fiercely, thinking that I am a fox, how can this dog be compared with himself.
"Yeah, it seems that the third brother is really a dragon and a phoenix among men." The queen said with a smile, but this sentence made Yuhu's face black.
But Yuhu said with a sneer: "Sister-in-law has won the prize." Seeing the scrolls of scrolls lying beside the queen, Yuhu couldn't help asking, "I don't know why sister-in-law asked us to come here?"
"I've talked to Ling Xuan about this matter several times, but he ignored it. I'll go down to my palace to call you over to help him as a counselor." The queen chuckled and said to the maid next to her: "Call them Come up."
"Yes." The court lady nodded, and after a while, a dozen women were summoned from the nearby hut.
These dozen or so women can be described as thin and fat, each with their own beauty, all wearing exquisite gauze skirts and beautiful headdresses on their heads, which can be seen to have been carefully decorated.
Yuhu supported his chin with one hand, and he understood what was going on at the sight of the battle. It turned out that the queen wanted to help Ling Xuan choose his concubine.
"Mother! I said I don't want to get married yet!" Ling Xuan swung his sleeves and turned around. He had already expressed his attitude, but the mother still wanted to force him to get married.
"You are already eighteen, how can you only have those few concubines in the room, and these are the daughters of several adults, all of whom are proficient in everything, if you get married, you will be more at ease Come." The queen said earnestly from the sidelines.
"I don't think being married has such a big effect." Ling Xuan said flatly, with obvious impatience already in his tone.
"Yuhu, look at this child..." the queen sighed and complained to Yuhu who looked aside, not knowing how to continue.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yun and the Ninth Prince are here to greet you. Look..." At this time, a court lady reported from outside.
"Let her wait in the outer hall, I will pass right away." The queen glanced at Ling Xuan and said, stood up with the support of two maids, walked past Ling Xuan and said, "Look carefully, these The girls are all ladies, so don't neglect her." After finishing speaking, the empress left the outer hall accompanied by the maids, leaving only Lingxuan Yuhu and the dozen or so women in the inner hall.
"The women of the people join His Royal Highness." These women saluted the First Prince one after another, hoping to have a place in his heart, but Ling Xuan didn't even bother to look at them.
Yuhu sat on the soft couch, as if watching a good show, and wanted to laugh when he saw Ling Xuan's angry look.
"You girls are very beautiful, but... the eldest prince doesn't like your makeup, how about this, I, as an uncle, will help you." Yuhu stood up and coughed, called a maid, and said: "Go get some women's make-up."
"Yes." The maid answered and brought some eyebrow pencils and rouge that women put on.
"Now all of you close your eyes, I will give you a beautiful makeup, and Prince Bao will choose one of you as a concubine." Yuhu picked up the eyebrow pencil and said, seeing those women obediently closed their eyes as expected.
"Hehe, then I'll start drawing." After Yuhu finished speaking, he used the eyebrow pencil in his hand to scribble on the faces of those women, and smeared a few strokes with rouge from time to time, making these women look like little ghosts from the underworld.
"Hey!" Ling Xuan was a little worried at first, but when he watched it, he couldn't help chuckling, probably these women had never done such makeup in their life.
"Okay..." After a while, Yuhu threw away the eyebrow pencil and rouge box freely and freely, admiring his masterpiece with satisfaction.
"Don't open your eyes yet, listen to the First Prince's evaluation first." Yuhu pulled Ling Xuan who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Does the First Prince think these girls are beautiful?"
"Ahem... um... yes, it's much prettier, as expected of my uncle's handwriting." Ling Xuan really couldn't bear the faces of these women, it was almost comparable to the painted faces in the drama.
"Come here!" Yuhu changed his voice, and called a few court ladies: "These ladies are feeling their own beauty, and they can't open their eyes yet, so help the ladies to get on the sedan chair."
After Yuhu finished speaking, he added: "The eldest prince has found the love in his heart. Don't look at each other's face now. Anyone who looks at it will give up the qualification to be a concubine. I will leave the makeup of this king to everyone to review." Let's enjoy it slowly." After Yuhu finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the maids helped the ladies into the sedan chair in astonishment, not daring to say anything more.
Ling Xuan watched those women leave with his hands in his arms, and said, "Aren't you afraid that those women will hate you?"
Yuhu turned to face each other, and said, "Will the eldest prince let such a thing happen?"
Ling Xuan didn't say a word, just smiled and shook his head, so these women thought that they left an ugly look in front of them, how could they have the face to be concubines, and they didn't see each other's faces , so it must be thought that Yuhu is targeting themselves, and favoring one of them.
When the queen came in again, she couldn't help being surprised when she saw those women had gone, and said, "All those girls have left? What do you think?"
Ling Xuan picked up his own teacup and said: "I have someone send them back first. Those girls are all well-known ladies with beautiful looks. I will obey my mother's arrangement in everything." After speaking, he took a sip Cup of tea.
The queen was overjoyed when she heard Ling Xuan's words, it was really rare for her son to be so happy, she quickly ordered someone to open the two picture scrolls, and said: "The queen mother has seen it for you, among those women just now, General Li's daughter and Du The prime minister's daughters are all good, and their father can help you, which one do you like better?"
"Your minister is fine, but you have to ask the girl's family's opinion. I still have something to do, so I will leave first." Ling Xuan saluted and exited the queen's bedroom after speaking.
"The younger brother has also resigned." Yuhu also took the opportunity to sneak out, but at this time the queen was so happy that she didn't notice anything strange, and ordered someone to quickly write invitations to the two families.
