Chapter 1394 The Foolish Empress 17

Well, as soon as they heard the noise, all the concubines jumped into action.

It is not easy to think about these men, although in other societies where men are superior to women, it is not easy for women. But now it's the other way around. If you think about it, men are just as miserable as women in other worlds.

Xi Ning was already very sleepy, but she still managed to gather some energy and said, "I have sent back all those who came later, saying that I am busy with official duties and have just recovered. I will have lunch with the Queen this noon, and I still need to take care of things in the afternoon. Official business. If anyone is feeling unwell, please go to the Imperial Doctor. I will see you later when I feel better."

This was a little explanation, enough to give the concubines in the palace something to look forward to. The eunuch who conveyed the message whispered and went out.

Now I could finally sleep well, but I could only sleep for less than an hour before I had to have lunch with the queen.

Xining sat in front of the dressing table with a tired look on her face, letting the palace maid help her dress up, yawning from time to time.

The chief steward was beside him and said sadly: "Why do you have to get up so early? You can still sleep for a quarter or two."

"Ah~" Xining yawned again, almost causing the palace maid to draw her eyebrows crookedly: "Is it still early? I haven't seen the queen for a long time. Dress up better and let him know that I care about her. Still take it seriously.”

The chief steward was immediately moved and said: "If you tell the queen about this, he will definitely be grateful for your majesty's love and kindness."

"You don't need to tell him, he can see it." Now it was time to choose jewelry, Xining took a look.

The three maids, each wearing a different look, stood side by side.

These are just three sets. If you are not satisfied with these three sets, you can also order dishes.

Xining thought for a while: "Which one is related to me and the Queen?"

The ladies in the palace looked at each other, but the chief steward frowned, thought hard, and remembered one thing: "There is a crested jade hairpin, the queen personally drew the pattern and asked the palace to make it as a birthday gift for His Majesty."

Xining thought about it for a moment, didn't think of it, and ignored it: "Bring it over."

This jade hairpin was probably at the bottom, and it took some effort to pull it out. At this time, Xining had already put on all the other hairpins.

Seeing this jade hairpin, it is plain and simple, just carving a beaded crest on the head.

Xining took it over. The whole hairpin was white except for the beads. He found that the beads could actually move in Feng's mouth. This light green bead should be carved from a whole piece of jade, which is a clever carving.

The crest is lifelike and the green beads can roll back and forth in the pointed beak, which is truly a work of art.

This body owner only likes bright red, green and pure gold, which seems to be graceful and luxurious, but in fact, it is very tacky for his age. I don’t know if this is a good thing!

Xining really wanted to take off all the heavy rubies on his head and wear only this phoenix hairpin.

But think about it, this is the style of body master. It would make people suspicious if he suddenly changed back, so he asked the palace maid to insert the phoenix hairpin into it.

The palace maid was also smart. Knowing that the empress was going to see the queen, she specially took out this hairpin, so she inserted it in a more conspicuous place in front of her, next to the ruby ​​​​golden step.

Looking at the head full of glittering gold, a simple and elegant jade hairpin seemed very abrupt.

No matter, just go like this. Anyway, the taste of the body owner is not very high, but the meaning is good.

Sitting on the dragon chariot, Xining leaned back on the chair and squinted her eyes for a while. When she arrived at Jiaofang Hall, the chief steward woke her up. After getting off the sedan chair, Xi Ning walked in. The Queen and a group of eunuchs were already waiting in the courtyard, kneeling and shouting "Welcome the Holy Master".

"Please wake up after love!" Xining felt awkward as soon as he said these words.

The queen stood up. Although she was not stunningly beautiful, her face was fair and her features were regular. He lowered his head slightly: "I learned that your Majesty is recovering and your body has not yet recovered, so I came to invite you. I apologize for being rude. I really miss your Majesty too much."

When speaking, he is also gentle and kind, giving people a sense of intimacy.

If the owner of the body has already ridiculed him, why would he come to invite him since he knows it is rude? Twice in the past, once it was the body master, and once it was the face next to her, and his words were very unpleasant. After all, the queen is the queen of a country, so she will never come to invite you again.

Be respectful on the outside but tough on the inside; treat others with generosity but be strict with yourself; keep your brilliance introverted and not show it off. He is truly a gentleman, as warm as jade.

Xi Ning saw at a glance that Queen Jun also wore a crested hairpin on her head, which was exactly the same. Looking at the empress wearing pure blue clothes, in my memory I also like simplicity. Such a plain and unpretentious hairpin, which only seems to be extraordinary when you look closely, is obviously his style.

It seems that I suddenly thought of wearing something related today, and I really did it right.

Xining did not mention the past: "It's my fault. My father-in-law has been too busy these days. If you miss me in the future, just come to me and bring some delicious food."

The queen was stunned and raised her head. Then I saw the crested hairpin on her head. Although there was nothing strange on his face, his eyes were shining: "Okay, okay. I know that His Majesty likes to eat candied fruits, so I tried to make several, and I will ask Your Majesty to try them later. If you like it, I will come up with new tricks. Come.”

Candied fruit? That's what the body owner likes to eat. In ancient times, there were no fillings for teeth. They were either extracted or simply placed. So try to give your children less sugar and candied fruits pickled in sugar. So much so that after the body owner became the empress, she would not leave her body every day.

Xi Ning smiled: "It's not good to eat too much sweet food. If you don't think it's troublesome, ask someone to prepare some from the butcher shop. When I'm hungry, I can chew two pieces. Either soft or hard, roasted Fragrant, with some honey, that would be better.”

As long as you know what to prepare, it will be easy to handle. The queen quickly bowed and saluted: "I obey your order!"

I don’t want to stand here, I’m just being polite: “Then don’t stand here, go in and see what delicious food you have prepared for me.”

The Queen immediately saluted again: "It's all my fault. I was too excited to see Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please come in."

Xining walked in. The Jiaofang Hall was originally decorated magnificently, but now it has been changed to look like a study room of a scholar.

On the mahogany shelf next to the wall, there are neatly stacked books, and there is a piece of paper spread on the desk.

Xining walked over curiously: "What do you do after love?"

The Queen quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, please take a seat quickly, lunch will be served soon."

But it was too late, Xining insisted on walking over. There was a portrait drawn on that piece of paper, and a graceful and elegant woman appeared on the paper among the ink and wash. It is the body owner who is painted!

"I didn't expect that the painting after love would be so good!" Xining raised the painting to look at it, with a face full of joy: "It really looks like it."

The Queen lowered her head slightly, as if she was a little unnatural: "I am not very good at drawing your Majesty's demeanor."

Regardless of the fact that this is just a tactic, the methods used to win favor in the palace are complex and diverse, so this painting skill is not bad at all.

Xining put down the painting: "It's pretty good, probably the painters in the palace are just like that."
