Chapter 71 Eavesdropping
"My beloved concubine, you..."
The emperor was speechless.
If the imperial concubine had not only taken off her makeup but not changed her clothes, he would have asked people where he hid his precious imperial concubine, and why he asked a palace maid to come up to greet her.
There is no way, the gap is too big.
When Jiang Xian went to pick up the driver, she also wore light makeup.
Even if she puts on nude makeup, she also changes her eye shadow and lip color to "purely natural" in the eyes of straight men.
As for Concubine Rong, she was accustomed to dressing up gorgeously. She wished she had a Rolex on her left hand, a green water ghost on her right hand, and a head full of pearls and green makeup, and she arrived before anyone else came, as if she was forcing others to admit that she was beautiful.
Is there a problem with this?
No problem, because Xie Che is a prosperous emperor and likes the aesthetic of flowers.
Only a strong national power can raise such a noble and beautiful woman.
But the bad thing is, the contrast is too strong!
Going from light makeup to no makeup and heavy makeup to no makeup give people completely different feelings.
"Why is the emperor so dumbfounded by this concubine?"
Concubine Rong affectionately took the emperor's hand and led the lost emperor to his seat. It took the emperor a while to organize her words: "My beloved concubine looks very fresh and charming without makeup, but she does not look ordinary.
Like a person."
Because the Queen has a big heart, the Emperor does not hide his true nature as a straight man in front of the Queen and speaks directly when he has something to say.
The queen was too lazy to argue with him. He felt that this was a sign of the unity of the emperor and empress, and the one who knew me was Zi Tong.
Not good for the imperial concubine, she would cry, make trouble, and write letters to her family. Later, her loyal father and brother would have to write memorials to care for the imperial concubine. Like most men, he would not be afraid of her if she really wanted to make trouble, but most of them would
I chose to use my emotional intelligence to fool him in order to save trouble.
Concubine Rong was taken aback for a moment, then she slapped him with a sweet smile: "Your Majesty is really good at joking."
Emperor: ...No, he is not joking.
He is really confused!
Curiosity prevailed, and the Dog Emperor couldn't help but test on the verge of death: "I'm not joking, I'm just curious. Can my beloved concubine help me solve my doubts?"
Concubine Rong pouted, pointed at her face and asked:
"Then please tell me, Your Majesty, why do I look so different?"
People will become numb if they look at their reflections in the mirror every day. As long as there are no particularly big flaws, they will gradually become pleasing to the eye. The same is true for Concubine Rong, not to mention that she is indeed a beauty, even if she wears no makeup.
, her facial features are also very superior, and people of the same sex will envy her for her good foundation.
But, straight men won’t understand.
Especially a straight man who is so powerful that women all over the world have to wear full makeup to see him.
After hearing this, the emperor held Concubine Rong's little face in his hands and lowered his head to read it.
When his big hand fell on her face, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly, feeling as comfortable as a petted cat.
At the same time, the emperor's fingertips pressed on the corners of her slightly narrowed eyes:
"Your eyes have never been so short before."
First Blood!
Imperial Concubine: "..."
The eyeliner was drawn with pearl powder, toner and donkey hide gelatin, which extended the corners of the eyes, making the eyes look twice as big visually.
"You used to have a full mouth!"
Double kill!
The rare lipstick that the general sent to the palace worked wonders to make thin lips plump.
"My beloved concubine's face..."
The emperor became genuinely worried and sighed: "My beloved, it's time to take good care of herself. She looks pale. I'll send the imperial doctor over later to prescribe some medicated food for my beloved to replenish her qi and blood."
Triple kill!
These three sentences made Concubine Rong almost lose her smile.
She didn't expect that the emperor could actually hold her face in his hands and pick on the minor flaws. She covered her face with her hands in shame and anger, and wanted to thank him.
The emperor was shocked by the plain face of the man next to him, and quickly excused himself and left.
After the emperor left, Qiu Yun was anxious: "Why don't you keep the emperor? It's almost dinner time." After the meal, it's time to wash up and rest. This is how the opportunity to be favored comes.
"Keep him? I don't have the nerve to keep him. He thinks I look ugly without makeup."
"Even if you don't apply makeup, your empress is still the most beautiful woman in the harem."
Concubine Rong was quiet for a while and thought of Yizhuxuan's equally bright face: "In terms of appearance, it was indeed me in the past, but not necessarily now."
She said it very seriously, and the servants did not dare to blindly praise it. They could only say: "Even if there are others, the color will be greatly reduced after taking off the makeup. Madam, please stop thinking about it. There is no point in taking off the makeup by yourself and dressing up carefully with others."
Compared with the appearance."
We are all women, and who doesn’t know how much makeup removal can transform a person’s appearance?
Concubine Rong thought the same thing, but she felt regretful and aggrieved: "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have listened to the emperor. Usually, even if I am a bedchamber, I never let him see me with a bare face."
But as she thought about it, she became depressed again.
Yi Se has not been serving for a long time, and the emperor actually doesn't think her plain face looks good, which shows that he doesn't really love her.
※
Women and men sometimes think about things from slightly different perspectives.
Concubine Rong believed that if the emperor loved her, he should love her without makeup.
The emperor believed that although he didn't like the way the concubine looked after taking off her makeup, when she got dressed up next time, she would still be his precious concubine and there would be no need to worry about such trivial matters.
He sighed for a while and then told Liang Yuyin: "Let's drive by Zhuxuan...forget it, don't pick up the car in advance, don't disturb anyone."
The straight male emperor, who suffered a blow in Zhaoyang Palace, became more passionate about "pure nature".
At this time, Jiang Xian and Chen Wenxing were having a meal at Yi Zhuxuan.
Chen promised that his appetite was particularly good today, so he took advantage of Jiang Xian's respectability in the imperial dining room and ordered a table full of dishes.
Boiled fish, steamed pork with lotus leaves, crystal shrimp dumplings, Maoxueqing and spicy field snails, and the staple food is stem rice. This time the stem rice is mixed with minced pork, diced Jinhua ham and diced vegetables, which enriches the texture and taste.
, and next to it is a pot of mutton soup made by Xiao Jing from the imperial dining room.
Chen promised to wonder: "Why are there people who are extra filial? Are you their ancestor?"
Jiang Xian explained: "When I was dining at Weiyang Palace, they brought a pot of mutton soup that they said was my usual order. It was rewarded by the emperor. They praised the people in the imperial kitchen for their hard work. Maybe I got the reward to repay the favor.
"
More than just repaying kindness.
The bowl of mutton soup last night was made by Chef Zhao, who usually prepares meals for Yizhuxuan. He has been in charge of cooking in the palace and has won the Holy Award for the first time. Xie Wanen was so excited that he kowtowed three times in the direction of Yizhuxuan in the imperial dining room.
Size.
Today, when Yizhuxuan came to order food again, Chef Zhao tried his best to make the meal extremely meticulous, and even paid for an extra pot of mutton soup from his own pocket, which was a perfect echo of the whole thing.
Unfortunately, what Chef Zhao didn't know was that Gu Guiren was not the one who loved mutton soup.
"It's a pity that the person who loves to drink mutton soup is Gu Guiren's confidant." Chen promised with a reserved smile.
At this time, the emperor was standing outside the door listening to the two men talking.
