imperial psychologist

Chapter 99
Aging is a very unreasonable thing.

Qu Shi looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes became lifeless for a moment.

She still remembers that when she was seventeen or eighteen years old, she couldn't walk a certain dance step smoothly, so she didn't think about food and drink for several days, practicing day and night, and then one morning, she suddenly saw it in the bronze mirror. There are two fine lines under the corners of the eyes.

She was startled suddenly, and then she ate and slept obediently for half a month, and the two small fine lines disappeared quickly.

After the age of 23, it was another morning, when she woke up, she saw in the bronze mirror that a shallow gully appeared faintly at the corner of her mouth.She continued to recuperate in the same way, but this time the wrinkles never disappeared.

The family members found many remedies for her, but all of them had little effect. Mrs. Qu even brought in a message to tell her not to laugh, so as not to deepen the wrinkles.

But Qu herself felt nothing - although she was slowly getting older, and no matter how dignified and generous her face was, what was still alive in her heart was the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl she used to be.

And when the wrinkles climbed up her face so stubbornly and like vines that could not be shaken off for the first time, she once again had the real feeling of "grown up".

After that, she saw many people, and many things seemed to gradually become different again.

Now, Qu can't remember how long it has been since he took a good look at himself in front of the mirror.

She looked at the dark blue eye bags under her eyes, the slightly sunken eye sockets, and the deep and shallow wrinkles on her neck...

Who is this?

She immediately became a stranger to the person in the mirror, as if she couldn't recognize her own face at all.

Zheng Shu and Bao Yuan have already run into the room one after another.

I saw the golden hairpin orbs rolling to the ground, and the golden nanmu incense dowry on the dressing table turned several times, and was thrown on the ground with its feet in the air.

The ladies in the palace all lowered their bodies, not daring to breathe.

Qu's face was turned away, and his voice was cold, "Since I won't be allowed to touch it, I don't want these golden hairpins and silver hairpins, take them all away... take them all away!"

Everyone shuddered, no one had ever seen such a Qu family.

The voices of the maids were as thin as mosquitoes, and no one knew what to do except yelling indiscriminately, "Mother, please be angry" and "Slaves should die".

"What's going on?" Zheng Shu asked coldly, "What are you all doing inside?!"

A palace maid hurriedly raised her head, and explained with a slightly trembling voice, "It's just now... the empress wanted to take a closer look at this buyao, but the servant was afraid... afraid... afraid that the empress would hurt her hand, so she didn't give it to the empress."

Zheng Shu suddenly understood in her heart.

Because one end of these jewels is sharp, they have been locked in the wooden box for a long time. Even today, when serving Qu's dressing, the maids are just as careful not to let Qu touch anything—— How could I have imagined that this matter would offend the imperial concubine today?
"Send someone to Xianfu Palace," Qu murmured, "It's gone, I'm gone..."

Just as the words fell, before Zheng Shu and the others could react, a clear voice rang out from outside.

"That's not going to happen. How can you go back on what you have promised?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that Concubine Ning had already walked in.

Zheng Shu gasped, and glared at the little eunuchs not far away who pretended to be blocking Concubine Ning but actually didn't even touch her hands.

"Zheng Shu, don't stare at them, I broke in by myself," Concubine Ning said abruptly, with a polite smile that was half a smile on her face, "If you want to punish them and establish your prestige, just start The palace is starting well."

Zheng Shu was not too polite, she stepped forward to salute respectfully, and said softly, "What's the matter with the empress Ning, she agreed to come in the evening, and the empress Ning will come here now, our empress has not yet arranged it."

"What's the difference between coming here in the evening and now? Let's have dinner together in the evening, so I can't come to your palace to ask for a cup of tea now?"

Concubine Ning was about to walk in with a smile, but when Zheng Shu was about to stop her, Qu said in a low voice, "Grandma Shu, let Concubine Ning come in."

Concubine Ning looked at Zheng Shu and walked in with a smile.

"Stand back." Ning Bi ordered, "Yueying and I have something to say."

Zheng Shu didn't move, and the other palace people didn't dare to move, until Qu repeated Concubine Ning's order in a low voice, and the three maidservants who were still in the room just now came out with their heads down.

Concubine Ning suddenly raised her hand, pointing to the last maid, "You stay and serve, and everyone else goes out."

Zheng Shu still didn't move, Qu looked at Zheng Shu's stubborn shadow in the bronze mirror, and said in a low voice, "Grandma Shu, help me to see what is prepared in the imperial dining room for the family banquet tonight, I want to eat... Qing group."

Zheng Shu bowed her head at this moment and walked out slowly.

The room fell silent, only a young court lady was picking up jewelry on the floor with her head down.

The tassels of the gold tassels shook and made a rustling sound, and Pinning Ning turned her head, "Bring this walking swing."

The maid stared blankly at Concubine Ning, but her body froze there, she didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Bring it!" Ning Bin suddenly said.

The palace maid shook her body and handed over the step shaker with both hands.

Concubine Ning took the step, pinched one end of the hairpin, and gently put it in front of Qu's eyes, "Did you want this just now?"

Qu Shi didn't speak, just raised his hand to pick it up.

The ice-cold gold steps fell on the palm, the real gold and the red corundum inlaid on it were heavy.

This was her favorite bu yao. At that time, she wore it during the day and also at night. Emperor Jianxi was tired of seeing it. He specially turned over a set of headdress molds for her, and made a new batch of unique styles. Flower hairpin treasure hairpin.

"I want to see you change your style every day." That's what Emperor Jianxi said.

But Qu still likes this Bu Yao, at most, he will change it to another one when he meets the emperor, and wear it for himself when he returns to Chengqian Palace.

Qu Shi lightly held it, this swing was extremely fine, a dozen lifelike flying swallows circled the orchid, it was already deformed in several places by the beating just now.

Based on his impression, Qu flicked it back gently.

"Aren't you afraid?" She asked without looking back.

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that I will use this walking...to seek death."

"Then die." Concubine Ning's voice was not at all flustered, she gently untied Qu's bun that was just rolled up, "You are alive, I will wait for you to accompany me to enjoy the flowers and ride horses, you are dead, every Qingming Cold food, I will not miss offerings to you."

Qu Shi suddenly smiled, followed by a sore nose.

Concubine Ning picked up the comb at the side and combed her hair again.

"Look at how dry your hair is..." Ning Bin frowned, and said with a bit of distress, "I see that every one of your servants should be dragged out and beaten severely. !"
