Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 123 Don't Live Up to Your Own Perfection
"Miss, is that so?"

Xueyan looked at Jiang Jinyan in front of the big bronze mirror, and frowned.

At this time, Jiang Jinyan was wearing a light blue skirt with dark embroidered crescent moon and phoenix tail. The skirt was inlaid with silver silk edges, which slightly loosely outlined the faint curves, looking dignified yet agile.

The delicate orchid embroidery on the cuffs makes the half-exposed fingers more slender and round.

One end of the black silk was coiled into a delicate and unconventional willow-leaf bun, pinned with three excellent white jade lotus pattern hairpins, and a small orchid-shaped hairpin rested obliquely in the hair, as if An orchid that accidentally falls.

Although Jiang Jinyan had recuperated for a long time after being seriously injured, his face was still thinner, making him even more timid.

Because she was smiling at the moment, the eyes that used to be as quiet as ancient pools of water also had a glimmer of hope and brilliance.

Even a slight application of powder and daisy would add to the already delicate features of the face, and from a distance it was as elegant as a viburnum flower, and when one looked closely, it was a bit bright and beautiful like a crabapple.

Naturally, people are more delicate than flowers but suppress the beauty of flowers in the elegance, two kinds of beauties that are extremely inconsistent but perfectly combined in one body.

Facing the bronze mirror, she supported the lotus pattern hairpin on her head. After the wide sleeves slipped a little, the mutton fat jade bracelet exposed on her wrist complemented the white jade hairpin in her hair.

"Why? So bad?" Jiang Jinyan turned around and looked at Xueyan who was frowning.

Xue Yan smiled and said: "Miss... good-looking is very good-looking, but it is too plain."

Jiang Jinyan smiled lightly, "It's just a palace banquet, not to mention that I'm still in control now, so it's good."

Xue Yan nodded, and suddenly thought that Second Miss would also go to this palace banquet, her expression changed and she became displeased.

She pursed her lips and said: "This palace banquet... It is enough to invite a concubine daughter, but what is the purpose of inviting a concubine daughter? I saw that the Yicui Pavilion seemed to be lively again. Is it possible that everyone entered as a concubine daughter?" Going to a banquet in the palace...will you be able to fly up to the branches?"

Jiang Jinyan walked up to her and smiled helplessly, and tapped her forehead, "Except for the queen mother in the palace as the main wife, except for the emperor and Princess Huaiqing who are concubines, which one is not a concubine? Which one is not a concubine? You... But more and more The more you talk, the palace is not an ordinary place, so you have to keep your mouth under control."

She said again: "Fly to the branch? If she can really be admired by some noble person, maybe it is what she wants to fly to the branch?"

I wonder if Chengrui will show up this week?
In this life... Don't let yourself down in these two days!
Jiang Jinyan straightened his sleeves, his lowered eyes were full of coldness.

Xue Yan stood aside and touched her head, "Forget it, today... I will just follow behind the young lady, my mouth... just don't speak anyway."

Jiang Jinyan smiled, "You, if you have learned Yu Mo's three-point calmness, it is enough."

Xue Yan pursed her lips and said: "If I can learn one ten-thousandth of what Miss is, I will be satisfied in this life."

Just as he was talking, Jiang Shiheng also rushed to Wutong Garden from the front yard.

The post sent from the palace is also a great honor to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, there is no room for mistakes!
If the Jiang family's daughter can have a good reputation at the palace banquet, she can also have some confidence in getting engaged.

After listening to the mother-in-law's report, Jiang Jinyan nodded, and said to Xueyan beside him: "Pack up some things you need to enter the palace first, and don't forget to bring Yuwen's deed of sale with you."

Generally, when ladies outside the palace or wives from outside the palace go to the palace for a banquet, for the sake of safety, they all have to prepare a set of clothes to take with them to prevent inconvenience.

And Yuwen's deed of selling herself was to be handed over to He Lan.

Jiang Jinyan left the inner room after explaining.

Jiang Shiheng who was standing outside was stunned for a moment when he saw her dressed so plainly.

Then he said sternly: "Jin Yan, today you bring Jinqian into the palace, you must be careful in everything, the palace is not an ordinary place, you must be courteous when you see nobles, and you must not underestimate them."

Jiang Jinyan was Princess Duan in her previous life, so she knew the twists and turns of the palace well.

She smiled slightly, "Father, don't worry, my daughter will keep it in mind."

At this time, Yicui Pavilion finally lost a little bit of depression.

During this period of time, Wang has lost a lot of weight. She didn't look better until she heard the news that Jiang Jinqian could enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet.

If Qian'er can amaze everyone in one fell swoop, she will be able to marry even better in the future.

At that time, with the help of his brother-in-law who is of great status, Jincai will have a chance to stand out!
As long as Jin Cai is able to make a living, can the Hou Mansion invite him back?
She struggled but felt weak, so she quickly called Qiansha.

"What's the matter with the second lady? I'm going to enter the palace today, but everything is ready? That's all...you wait for me to get up, I have to go and have a look in person to feel at ease."

Qiansha quickly fetched a pleated ruyi skirt to help her get up, and brought hot water from the inner room to help her wash.

After she was fully dressed, Mrs. Wang held Qiansha's hand and went to Jiang Jinqian's waterside pavilion near the lake.

After entering the back room and seeing Jiang Jinqian, who was well-dressed in front of the bronze mirror, Wang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction.

Jiang Jinqian also did not slack in the slightest about entering the palace this time.

The skin that became more tender after applying makeup and powder was as smooth as warm jade, and with a light touch of lip balm, the whole face immediately became beautiful and charming.

A few strands of hair hung down her cheeks, brushing her flawless cheeks as she walked, adding to her softness.

The long purple dress was embroidered with peony patterns, and the dark red silk was tied around the waist, making it even more slender.

"Qian'er is so... really... able to overwhelm the crowd."

Wang walked up to Jiang Jinqian with a smile, and reached out to cut her forehead hair.

Seeing that she was not satisfied, she straightened the gemstone butterfly hairpin inserted obliquely on her Ruyi bun.

Seeing Wang's emaciated appearance now, Jiang Jinqian felt very uncomfortable.

She helped Mrs. Wang, and persuaded softly: "Mother, you have to take care of yourself, brother... Big brother will definitely come back in the future!"

Wang nodded with a smile, and patted her hand softly, "Mother is also happy to see Qian'er's appearance and talent. This time entering the palace must be very glorious, and maybe there will be a big baby." Good fortune, in the future, marrying a good man can be regarded as your eldest brother's hope..."

Jiang Jinqian lowered his eyes slightly, but there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

Eldest brother was not able to accomplish anything by himself and ended up in such an end, mother now wants to exchange herself for elder brother's future!
Although Mrs. Wang is still in poor health, she still insists on sending Jiang Jinqian to the second school.

She whispered again: "Qian'er, there is no need for ordinary boundaries in the palace. After you enter the palace, you must be cautious in everything. If... If there is anything wrong, remember to stand behind her, Jiang Jinyan, and stay outside. , she will take this face into consideration."

Hearing this, Jiang Jinqian frowned slightly, but her tone remained the same, "Mother, Qian'er will be careful."

But she was displeased in her heart. She had to rely on Jiang Jinyan to make a living with her appearance and talent?

In the mansion, he was overwhelmed by her, and when he arrived in the palace, did he still have to look at her face?

Seeing that the carriage was already waiting at the second gate, Mrs. Wang shook Jiang Jinqian's hand, "Go, Qian'er, be careful."

In the carriage, Jiang Jinyan was already sitting upright, and she said to Yu Mo, "I've seen Brother Cheng? Is there anything wrong?"

Yu Mo shook his head and said: "The young master ate and slept very well last night. Didn't Miss Yu say that the young master will be more active at this time, let's just watch more. I look at Lian Chunhe Xiqiu is also extremely caring, the young master has never left anyone by his side."

Jiang Jinyan nodded, and suddenly smiled again: "Speaking of Brother Cheng, last time I watched Jin Yuan make very delicate gadgets for Brother Cheng, but I didn't expect...he could actually make them out of paper. I have never seen such an object, let alone Cheng Geer, who is happy to see it."

Xueyan couldn't stop screaming when she heard it, "Yes! It can still fly, Miss, tell me, the paper kite still needs to use a thread, but it can fly far away with a single throw! I didn't expect... ...Jin Yuan has a bright mind, but last time...whether he made a ball of thread for Xiaoxin last time, he couldn't stop pulling, Xiaoxin loves to play."

Jiang Jinyan poked her forehead, and joked, "Who was heartless last time?"

Xueyan curled her lips, "At that time, he was so unreasonable that he hurt your attention, didn't he?"

Just as he was talking, he heard a voice from outside, and then the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a girl in a purple dress entered the carriage.

Jiang Jinyan frowned slightly.

At this time, before she took off her clothes, she was dressed so brightly?
After Jiang Jinqian sat down, he only said coldly to Jiang Jinyan: "Qian'er has seen the elder sister."

Nodding his head slightly, Jiang Jinyan said to Jiang Wei in front, "Uncle Jiang, let's go."

For this woman, Jiang Jinyan only had unstoppable indifference in his heart.

And hearing her talk to a servant like this, Jiang Jinqian pouted unexpectedly.

What about Miss... the first daughter?It's so ugly!

The carriage passed the front yard slowly, and after exiting the gate of Jing'an Marquis Mansion, it speeded up and headed for the palace gate.

Xueyan kept her mouth shut all the way, looking at this enchanting second young lady, her mind was full of how to push her out of the carriage!
What does this look like?

As a concubine... she dresses more gorgeously than her own lady, and that makeup... is so coquettish as if she is going to seduce someone's soul!
It really smeared my lady's face!
At this time, in the Linqiu Palace, Huai Shu was pulling Mu Nan to change clothes in the palace.

"Sister Mu, look, how about my clothes? How about my makeup?"

Huai Shu's rose red embroidered cloud-pattern palace gown is very luxurious, but compared with the radiant gold-woven Qianshui skirt with silver trim on Mu Nan's side, it is a bit inferior.

Mu Nan looked at Huai Shu's face reflected in the bronze mirror, there was a scar that couldn't be wiped off by the corner of the eye, although it was very shallow, it was still a little bit on closer inspection.

She smiled and said, "Sister Huai Shu's scar at the corner of her eye was naughty when she was a child?"

Huai Shu's complexion changed, and her smile froze. This scar was the result of accidentally hitting the corner of the table when she was ten years old.

For this matter, the mother and concubine severely punished all the maids of Yingxia Palace and sent them to the slave courtyard.

It's just that there are always some faint marks on my own scars, which haven't completely disappeared after using the cream for a long time!
Mu Nan knew that she was extremely annoyed, but his smile remained unchanged.

She leisurely took out a very delicate glass box from her sleeve, the box looked small but caught people's eyes when placed in the palm of her hand.

Huai Shu was amazed when she saw such an exquisite small box, she raised her head and asked, "What is this?"

Smiling and opened the small glass box, the light blue paste inside had a sweet floral fragrance.

"Anxi's beauty cream."
