Marriage Princess: The Alluring Concubine of the Evil Emperor

Chapter 16
The time in the palace is said to be long, but if there is hope, it does not feel so long.

Speaking of long, I just spent all my time waiting.

On the first day of the lunar new year, the concubines in the palace are going to pay their respects to the empress dowager. The empress dowager has been worshiping the Buddha for many years, and she has not asked about the affairs of the harem.

Originally Concubine Shang Gui was banned from going out of the Suhe Palace, but because there was no clear order from the emperor, and she thought that she already had enough power to compete with Concubine Qi, so on the first day of the new year, she ignored the order of the confinement, Take people from Suhe Palace to Dinghe Palace to pay their respects.

Concubine Cui is wearing a light yellow palace dress with pomegranate flowers embroidered today. In the past, her complexion was dull and she couldn't wear this color, but today she looks completely new, as if she is a few years younger.

Concubine Shang Gui couldn't help being a little surprised when she saw her, and teased with a bit of malice, "No, once the emperor favors you, your whole person will be different."

Concubine Cui knew that she had bad intentions, but she didn't dare to offend her, so she just smiled slightly, "Your concubine is laughing."

"What kind of beauty powder did you use?" Shang Guifei asked.

Concubine Cui reached out her hand to touch her face, subconsciously a little proud, "It's just ordinary rouge and gouache, and it's naturally not as good as the good things that your mother uses."

Concubine Shang looked at her beautiful complexion and saw that she had a style of gestures, which was very different from the stagnant pool in the past, so she couldn't help but pay attention, and asked the people around her to ask the palace servants around Concubine Cui.

Hearing the answer, she couldn't believe it, "You mean, Princess Yili has been going to take care of Concubine Cui's skin for half a month?"

"The people around Concubine Cui said so."

Concubine Shang touched her slightly drooping and slack face, and then looked at Concubine Cui's radiant face, and couldn't help feeling a little sullen.

Went to Dinghe Palace, but was told that the Empress Dowager was ill today and saw no one, so Concubine Shang Gui had no choice but to take the people from Suhe Palace back.

Concubine Qi knew that the Empress Dowager was unwell, so she didn't go to the Dinghe Palace, and naturally she didn't meet with Concubine Shang, to avoid a disturbance.

Concubine Shang Gui was a little disappointed, she had expected to see Concubine Qi Gui, she was ready to fight.

Back at Suhe Palace, Concubine Shanggui lost her temper resentfully, and the maid Cailing beside her persuaded her a little, and she finally persuaded her.

"Let Yili come here." Concubine Shang Gui still had lingering anger in her heart, that little bitch actually knows how to improve her face?It's no wonder that Su Liangyuan's that bitch's face hasn't changed a bit for more than ten years.

When Qing He heard that Concubine Shang Gui let him go, he felt confident.

Entering the palace, I saw Princess Xiaoru beating a palace man who made a mistake with a whip, and said angrily while beating: "Well, you bitch, don't think about your own identity, there are some things that you should do. If you do, what you should not do is a capital offense. I will teach you a little lesson today, and you will have to see and recognize your identity in the future. If the master praised you once, it does not mean that you are the master. In my eyes, even if It is the father who appreciates you, you are also a dog slave, you can't get on the stage."

The eunuch was beaten to pieces by her, and he prostrated himself on the ground and begged for mercy. After hearing Princess Xiaoru's words, Qing He slightly curled his lips. These words were naturally meant for her.

But it doesn't matter, such a naive behavior makes her more ignorant and incompetent.

Entering the palace, Concubine Shang Gui was half leaning on the couch with a lazy expression, the court lady Cai Ling was beating her calf, she raised her eyelids, she saw Qinghe, and pointed out, "Here we come!"

"Yi Li sees Shang Mu Concubine!" Qing He stepped forward to salute.

Concubine Shang Gui snorted, "You know how to call Ben Gong a concubine, but you are not a person who doesn't know how to behave. How could you disappoint Ben Gong so much?"

Qinghe pretended to be startled, "I don't know what Concubine Shangmu means?"

Princess Xiaoru rushed in, holding a bloody whip in her hand, and said harshly, "You don't know? Do you go to Concubine Cui's every day to skin care and beautify her? Do you want to take Cui Cui's face next? Send the concubine to the father, so that the father will favor her? Are you relying on Cui concubine to turn over your bitch mother?"

As Princess Xiaoru said, she dropped the whip in her hand, pinched Qinghe's chin with one hand, and forced Qinghe to raise her head. Qinghe saw the blazing fire and hatred in her eyes, she really didn't understand, Shanggui's concubine The girl has always been suppressing Su Liangyuan and Princess Yili, where does their hatred come from?
Gently pushing away Princess Xiaoru's hand, Qinghe looked very aggrieved and innocent, "Concubine Shangmu has wronged Yi'er, Yi'er has never thought about it this way, Su Liangyuan has always been indifferent to the world in the palace, and only wants to live a peaceful life. How can there be other extravagant demands? As for Concubine Cui's skin, it is true that Yi'er gave her a prescription to take care of her, but, Yi'er thought, it would not hurt that Concubine Cui became more beautiful, after all, she is the royal father's Concubine, the face is better, and the emperor sees it, and it is more pleasing to the eye, isn't it?"

"Concubine Cui's skin was rough and dark yellow before, what prescription did you give her to make her change so completely in half a month?" Shang Guifei asked.

Seeing her taking the bait, Qinghe was not in a hurry, and evaded for a while, "It's just some prescriptions for nourishing qi and blood, nothing special."

"Prescriptions for nourishing qi and blood? The imperial doctor has prescribed many prescriptions for this palace, and I haven't seen any changes in this palace?" Concubine Shang Gui sneered.

Princess Xiaoru picked up the whip and waved it, threateningly said: "Why don't you invite it? Do you want to beat you before you say it?"

Qinghe was startled, and hurriedly said: "In addition to the blood-enriching prescription, Yi'er also used a mask for her, which was taken internally and applied externally, so half a month has already worked."

"Mask? What kind of mask?" Shang Guipin stretched out her hand and pressed it, signaling Princess Xiaoru to put down the whip.

Qinghe smiled slightly, and said: "Yi'er read this from an ancient book, and the materials used are also very simple, but it is only effective if it is combined with internal and external application."

"Write it down!" Concubine Shang Gui said indifferently.

Qinghe was startled, "Concubine Shangmu has outstanding looks, so there is no need for it."

"Did I tell you to use it?" Concubine Shang snorted, "This palace is dedicated to the empress."

Hearing this, Qinghe sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just said respectfully: "It turned out to be dedicated to the queen mother, so Yi'er wrote it down immediately, but the concubine Shangmu wants to mention it to the queen mother. The effect of detoxification, there will be diarrhea and vomiting for a few days after eating, this is to expel the toxins in the body, after the toxins are eliminated, and then combined with external application, within half a month, it will look brand new."

Concubine Shang kept a cold face and said nothing, Cailing hurried to get the Four Treasures of the Study, Qinghe wrote it down, put it aside, and said softly: "Concubine Shang, this prescription is just what Yier saw from an ancient book, so far only Liang Yuan and Concubine Cui have used it before, before concubine Shangmu presents it to the empress, do you want to find someone to try again? To avoid any mistakes."

"This palace has its own ideas, you go!" Concubine Shang Gui ordered someone to take down the square, and then sent Qinghe out.

Qinghe seemed to have no intention of leaving, but Shang Guifei had issued an order to evict the guests, so she had no choice but to stand up, "Then Yi'er will leave."

She walked two steps, looked back at Concubine Shang, and said embarrassingly, "Yi'er gave this recipe to Concubine Cui, and Concubine Cui gave Yi'er many things..."

Concubine Shang looked at her contemptuously, and said to Cai Ling: "Take the earrings that the emperor gave me last month and give them to the princess."

Qinghe's face was happy, and he thanked again and again, "Thank you, Concubine Shangmu."
