The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 75 Concubine Xie's Invitation

After all, Fu Xuechen didn't dare to play outside for too long. After eating and drinking in the teahouse, he rejected Zhang Chuyang and Guan Enming's proposal to continue playing, and returned directly to Fu's residence.

Just after letting the servant Fu An go back to rest, he set foot in the yard, ready to sleep well, when he saw Haitang rushing up to meet him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Thank God! You are back, young master! Madam is looking for you everywhere What! Hurry up and see Madam!"

"What did mother ask me for?" Fu Xuechen asked casually, but got no answer, and Haitang didn't know what happened to Xie's just sent someone to call Fu Xuechen.

So Fu Xuechen didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he had no choice but to turn around and go to the main courtyard first.

Mrs. Xie was in the room, chatting with Aunt Wu, and Marquis of Jingbei, Fu Chuanyi, went to court in the morning and has not come back. Even if these courtiers completed the task of celebrating the Queen Mother's birthday, few of them rushed Instead of returning home for vacation, they will go to Jiaofangsi and other places to socialize in style.

Seeing Fu Xuechen, Mrs. Xie quickly stopped talking, and sent Aunt Wu back to explain to Fu Rushuang the rules and precautions in the palace, and how to tidy herself up.

After Aunt Wu left, Mrs. Xie even retreated from the servants and maids who were serving her, leaving only Madam Xu by her side. Then she looked at Fu Xuechen and said something that shocked her: "You have to change back into women's clothes, tonight Come into the palace with me."

"That brother..."

Just as Fu Xuechen was about to ask Fu Yuchen what to do over there, she saw the beaded curtain on the side rise, and Fu Yuchen came out from the side wrapped in a long fox-fur cloak with a hood.

"...Are you here too?" Fu Xuechen's eyes widened.

"I asked him to come." Xie said in a helpless tone, "I can't help it. When you were away, the little eunuch from the palace came to the palace and passed on the grace of the noble concubine. Let me marry you and Rushuang." They were all brought into the palace, and the little eunuch showed Yuchen his wounds, and he felt that his wounds had healed and he could walk without hindrance."

"What does that mother mean, from now on, my brother and I will switch back?" Fu Xuechen felt that it was too sudden, and he was completely unprepared!
Mrs. Xie shook her head: "That won't work! What the doctor said, just to be on the safe side, Yuchen can only walk slowly for the time being, can't run and jump, and can't ride horses and use force. I listen to the doctor, and Yuchen must be raised for at least half a month. "

Fu Xuechen understood: "Mother means, only for tonight?"

"That's right!" Mrs. Xie took a look at her son and daughter respectively: "Just change your outer clothes in my room, and then Yuchen will go back to his original courtyard. Xuechen, wrap up this fox fur cloak and go back to Qingtongyuan. Take a good bath, change into appropriate clothes, and when the time comes, follow me into the palace, and when you come back in the evening, you two will also go to my room first to change into each other's outer clothes, and everything will be as usual tomorrow."

I see!Fu Xuechen understood, and she had nothing to worry about. She took off the men's jacket on the spot, and even took off her boots. First, she put on the women's jacket and embroidered shoes that Madam Xu had prepared, and then handed over the fox-fur cape that Fu Yuchen had handed over. Wrapping it around her body and closing her hood, she regained her identity as the daughter of the Hou Mansion in the blink of an eye.

Fu Yuchen also had a man's coat and boots that had been prepared, and he put them on quickly, smiled at Fu Xuechen, said to his mother, "Son, leave", and led Haitang who was waiting outside, to leave the main courtyard first.

"Don't worry about it. If Yuchen didn't hurt his leg, you would still be the daughter of the Marquis Mansion, so you wouldn't be able to escape the palace banquet tonight." Mrs. Xie turned her head to look at her daughter, and expressed her relief.

"I know." Fu Xuechen nodded.

As family members of powerful nobles, court wives, Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Xie all have the right and obligation to enter the palace to celebrate the queen mother's birthday. For such large-scale celebrations, wives usually bring girls of the right age who are waiting in the boudoir at home, and There is no distinction between concubines and concubines, this is an unspoken rule to facilitate the female elders of each family to see each other's future daughter-in-law of future generations.

Originally, Fu Xuechen could stay at home because of her "leg injury", but unexpectedly Xie Guifei wanted to see her, so she sent a little eunuch to visit her, and found that her "leg injury" had healed and she could walk slowly ,Then there's no way.

Maybe Concubine Xie would be considerate if she still refused to go to bed, but with this little eunuch spreading the word, how could Mrs. Xie dare to take the risk of betting whether Concubine Xie would care?Then we can only go!

Mrs. Xie worriedly told Fu Xuechen to act weaker when entering the palace, to remember the feeling of weakness caused by her "unhealed leg injury", and to act like this, Fu Xuechen obediently agreed one by one.

"Mother believes in you. You have been smart and stable since you were a child." Mrs. Xie nodded in satisfaction, and then let Fu Xuechen go back to Qingtong Courtyard, carefully dressed herself, and waited to enter the palace.

Entering the palace is not a trivial matter, bathing and incense, changing dignified new clothes, these are all necessary, plus hair jewelry, women's dressing up is especially time-consuming, and the time left for the palace banquet in the evening is just enough .

Taking advantage of the opportunity of taking a hot bath, Fu Xuechen squinted comfortably for a while, exhausted from fatigue.

Fu Rong, a maidservant with long hair, helps to clean and take care of her long hair. Although there were no hair dryers in ancient times, there was also a special copper iron similar to an iron, filled with smokeless silver charcoal. The long hair after being wrung out is steamed off, and it is close to blow-drying.

Putting on an orange narrow-sleeved short jacket and a horse-faced skirt inlaid with velvet of the same color, with a double bun on the plate, and a few begonia clusters of silk flowers and silk ribbons of the same color on the hairpin, Fu Xuechen sat in front of the dressing table and began to describe in detail makeup.

It's different from the plain imitation makeup that hardly shows traces of makeup when impersonating Fu Yuchen. This time, she can draw beautiful eyebrows for herself, apply a thin layer of light rouge powder, and then moisturize the lip gloss that matches the clothes. .

When a cute little face full of collagen appeared in the mirror, Fu Xuechen couldn't help smiling at the mirror, it was so beautiful!She likes herself so much now!
Twin brothers and sisters are brothers and sisters after all, with different genders, so there are still some slight differences in appearance. In order to pretend to be Fu Yuchen, she has been imitating makeup for almost two full months, and now she has finally recovered her original appearance. Of course, she can no longer make strides When I am walking, I have to walk slowly, take small steps, and I have to pretend that my legs are weak.

After dressing up, but it was only half a cup of tea, Xie's side sent someone to call, and it was time to leave.

Exit Qingtong Courtyard, follow the road directly to the front yard, and then exit the side door, the cars of Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Xie are already waiting outside the side door, and Aunt Wu brought Fu Rushuang to the side door at the same time.

Fu Rushuang is 15 years old, just at the age where she can start to see people, and it is also the age of the most beautiful blooming season for girls. Her facial features are not as delicate as Fu Xuechen's, but they are soft, elegant and have a gentle atmosphere. They match her light blue body Dresses give people a better look!
Aunt Wu was not qualified to enter the palace, so Fu Rushuang could only call "Mother" softly, and stood in front of Mrs. Xie respectfully. Mrs. Xie looked her up and down and did not see anything wrong, so she nodded in satisfaction.

Fu Xuechen was different, he called "Mother" and stepped forward to take Xie's arm.

"Learn more from your sister. Girls need to be soft. Do you know what is soft?" Mrs. Xie rolled her eyes at her daughter, endured it, swallowed back a lot of complaints that she wanted to say, and gave the order neatly: "Go up!" Car, move!"

A group of people got into two carriages respectively, and under the protection of the family generals, they went straight to the palace.
