Chapter 700 Surprise
Early in the morning, Baoqin was busy choosing clothes for the imperial concubine, and she did not forget to talk about it.
"Niangniang, today is your first public appearance since you became a noble concubine. You must dress up beautifully to blind everyone's eyes!"
Xiao Xixi was leaning on the soft land, eating pomegranate while reading the script.
The pomegranate has been peeled, and the plump red pomegranate seeds are placed in a jade bowl, which is pleasing to the eye.
She just needs to scoop up the pomegranate seeds with a silver spoon and eat it, very comfortable.
She heard Baoqin's remarks and replied casually.
"It's not easy to make others blind? I just need to play a suona for them, and promise to blind their eyes by crying."
Baoqin: "..."
She suddenly remembered the fear of being dominated by suona at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, and couldn't help but suffocate.
She hurriedly shouted, "Don't, don't! Please, don't play any more suonas this time, let's be a beautiful concubine quietly, okay?"
Xiao Xixi is very easy-going: "Well, I don't really want to be that limelight."
Compared with performing on stage, she obviously prefers to sit on stage while eating, drinking and watching shows.
Baoqin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the imperial concubine was too salty and did not like to be in the limelight, otherwise a good Mid-Autumn Festival would have to turn into Qingming Festival.
She picked and chose from many dresses, and finally chose a rouge red breast-length skirt.
And carefully selected a set of ruby-studded gilt jewelry.
At this moment, Mo Hua walked in and respectfully blessed his body.
"Reporting to the noble concubine, the empress, the emperor just sent someone to send a message, saying that she is going to Changle Palace to accompany the empress dowager for dinner at noon.
Xiao Xixi's eyes were still looking at the words book in her hand, and she replied casually, "Yes."
Seeing that she had no other orders, Mo Hua silently backed out.
Baoqin was a little strange: "Didn't the emperor say last night that he would have lunch with you today?"
Luo Qinghan did say this last night.
Because today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Luo Qinghan wants to spend the festival with Xixi.
Although there is a family banquet in the evening, there are many people attending the family banquet. How can the two of them be alone and feel comfortable?
Xiao Xixi doesn't care much about the pomegranate seeds in her mouth right now.
"It should be that the empress dowager called him over temporarily."
In fact, Xiao Xixi only guessed half right.
Luo Qinghan was indeed called over temporarily by the Empress Dowager, but it was not because of any urgent matter.
The Empress Dowager just wanted to take the opportunity of the festival so that the emperor and Lu Jieyu could get in close contact with each other.
Originally Luo Qinghan didn't know.
When he arrived at Changle Palace and saw Lu Jieyu dressed in costumes and the empress dowager with a kind smile, he didn't know what the empress dowager was thinking.
But others have already arrived, and they can't turn their heads and leave.
He must take care of the empress dowager's face.
Lu Jieyu knew that she was going to get in touch with the emperor today, so she dressed up carefully before coming.
Wearing a hazy-colored chest-length skirt, with a white gauze top embroidered with pansies, a long white gauze shawl dangles down, the skirt is made of very special fabric, the surface shimmers with fine light, and the skirt sways when you walk. The light flickered and there was a sparkling feeling.
There are pink and white silk flowers in the bun, and the pearl steps dangle to the ear.
As the pearl swayed, the beauty smiled shyly, both charming and pure.
"My concubine greets the emperor, and I wish the emperor a healthy Mid-Autumn Festival."
Luo Qinghan responded lightly: "No need to be more polite."
Then he bowed to the Empress Dowager.
"The emperor's grandmother is healthy."
The Empress Dowager said with a smile: "It's all my own family, don't be so polite, just sit down."
When Luo Qinghan sat down, a palace maid immediately served moon cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus tea.
Lu Jieyu put down the fan and took the initiative to pour tea for the emperor.
She handed the tea cup to the emperor, delicately and authentically.
"Your Majesty, please have tea."
Luo Qinghan took the tea cup, didn't drink it, put it aside, and wentssips with the Empress Dowager.
Lu Jieyu sat down beside the emperor and looked at the emperor's profile without blinking.
The emperor is not only the honor of the ninety-five, but also the face is like a crown of jade, and the beauty is unparalleled.
Even though he is stern, he is still very attractive.
Unattainable status, coupled with flawless appearance.
How could a woman not like such an emperor?
Lu Jieyu liked it more and more, took the initiative to pick up a piece of moon cake and handed it to the emperor, shyly and timidly.
"Your Majesty, this moon cake is made by concubine. I know that you don't like sweet, so concubine specially made it salty. Please try it."
The Empress Dowager said with a smile: "Lu Jieyu has put a lot of effort into making these moon cakes. Emperor, don't let her down."
This situation reminded Luo Qinghan of the feeling that when he was still the prince, the former emperor and the Qin empress forced him to marry a wife and have children.
He felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
...
Although it was a bit lonely to eat alone, Xiao Xixi ate no less than usual.
When she was full, she went to the couch and took a good nap.
Seeing that it was almost time, Baoqin called up the imperial concubine and began to dress her up.
To attend a family dinner tonight, you have to dress well.
Xiao Xixi hasn't fully woken up yet, her mind is still groggy.
Sitting in front of the vanity mirror, she kept yawning, letting Baoqin play.
Dressing up a woman seriously is really a time-consuming and labor-intensive thing.
By the time Baoqin said it was okay, the sun was almost setting outside the window.
Xiao Xixi held up her heavy bun, looked at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help asking.
"Are you treating me as a jewelry display stand?"
So many pieces of jewelry, each more expensive than the other, were all worn on her body, and they were so heavy that they almost bent her neck.
Baoqin looked left and right, and said with satisfaction: "This servant thinks that you have the aura of a noble concubine. At first glance, you are very different from those ordinary concubines outside!"
Xiao Xixi sighed: "Yeah, I look more like a nouveau riche than them."
Baoqin's rainbow fart came right out of her mouth: "How can you look good on a nouveau riche?!"
Xiao Xixi is skeptical of her words.
At this moment, Mo Hua walked in.
As soon as she saw the concubine's dress, she was stunned.
Xiao Xixi immediately said: "Look, Mo Hua even thinks that I'm so strange, how can anyone be like me and want to wear all their belongings?!"
After she finished speaking, she was going to take off the gilded wreath on her head that was sinking to death.
Mo Hua hurriedly said, "No, the imperial concubine is very beautiful dressed like this!"
Xiao Xixi said suspiciously, "Do you really think I look good with this jeweled look?"
Mo Hua said sincerely: "It's really beautiful. You have the aura of a noble concubine. When the servants saw you just now, they almost didn't recognize you. I think the emperor will be very surprised to see you like this."
Xiao Xixi muttered: "I'm afraid there will be surprises but no joy."
...
