Adore Trick of Beauty

After she finished scolding, she was in trouble again. She looked around the door, then quickly closed it, shook her head out of the bag and took out a porcelain bottle. How to do it? How to complete the task he ordered? She was just a well-dressed female official, and the last time she secretly went to the royal study to spy on the news, she was seen by Empress Nie. I am afraid that she is already a suspicious person in Empress Nie's heart.

what to do? Ji Qiu's palms were sweaty. She couldn't even do this little thing well. How could she get ahead?

She thought about it over and over, her eyes passing blankly across the room, and finally her eyes were fixed on the boxes of rouge and gouache on the dressing table...

Got it! A cold and vicious light gradually appeared in her eyes.

…

The next morning, Yanqiu got up early and was about to comb her hair and wash her face. When she looked up, she found that Jiqiu was fully dressed and sitting on the edge of the bed.

Yanqiu remembered the argument last night and gave her a forced smile: "You got up so early."

Ji Qiu smiled, took the water and poured some water into her tub: "Yes, it was a bit hot last night, so I got up early to wash up. Anyway, I'm not on duty this afternoon, so I can take a nap."

Yanqiu looked at her kind gesture and thought of his indifference to her in the past few days, feeling guilty in his heart: "Then take a good rest at noon today, Sister Zhiqiu."

There was an innocent smile in Ji Qiu's clear and bright eyes: "Sister Yanqiu, hurry up and freshen up, otherwise you will be too late and mama will punish you!"

Yanqiu looked at the time, nodded quickly and started to freshen up. Ji Qiu sat aside and watched with a faint smile. After Yanqiu had finished packing, he followed her to the Ganlu Hall to serve her as usual.

Yanqiu was the official who served Empress Nie to comb her hair and make her face smooth. She had picked out the rouge and gouache the day before and took it from her nanny. Then she chose the right makeup according to the mood of the empress that day. Ji Qiu was a female official in high attire. After helping Nie Wushuang change his clothes, she withdrew.

She saw Yanqiu selecting rouge, mixing flower paste for combing her hair, and soaking in flower water. She came forward curiously and said, "Sister Yanqiu, it smells so good. What kind of flower is this?"

Yanqiu was concentrating when she couldn't help being startled by her sudden voice. The golden spoon she dug in her hand fell into the water with a splash, and the water splashed into her eyes.

Yanqiu said "Oh" and covered his eyes. Ji Qiu hurriedly wiped her dry, extremely nervous: "Are you okay? It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"

Yanqiu quickly wiped her face and looked around. All the female officials in the palace were dressing Nie Wushuang and the emperor in an orderly manner. Behind the heavy curtains, the emperor and empress were whispering. Although they couldn't hear clearly what was said, it made people feel warm in their hearts for no reason.

Yanqiu shook his head: "It's okay. When the Queen is about to comb her hair, you can go down first."

Ji Qiu saw a piece of wetness on her chest, with a faint look of guilt on her face: "Sister Yanqiu, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in such a mess. Let me help you. I can lend a hand."

Yanqiu saw the guilt in her eyes and felt soft: "Okay, help me put this fragrance..." She said slowly. Ji Qiu listened carefully.

At this time, Mammy lifted up the curtains and whispered: "The Queen is going to comb her hair, go quickly!"

Yanqiu quickly walked in with water for soaking flowers. Ji Qiu followed her instructions and began to sort the bottles and jars. When no one was around, he took out the porcelain bottle from his sleeve with a trembling hand and quickly poured a few drops into the flower paste.

After all this happened last night, she looked around guiltily and then let out a long breath.

Yanqiu finished combing Nie Wushuang's hair and turned out of the curtain, only to see that Jiqiu had disappeared. She muttered: "I don't know where this girl has gone."

Ji Qiu hurried out of the Ganlu Hall and walked into the Imperial Garden. Only then did she truly breathe a sigh of relief. The porcelain vase she held in her long sleeves was hot from the temperature of her palms. She sat on a rock and then fearfully buried the porcelain vase under a tree.

She thought it would be extremely difficult, but she didn't expect it to be so simple. As long as she can drip the potion on time every day, half of the work will be done as he said. As Ji Qiu thought about it, she felt her heart pounding, as if it was about to jump out of her heart.

The sun has risen, the wind has gradually picked up, and the cool breeze has blown away the cold sweat on her forehead. She seems to have come back to her senses at this moment: What is she doing? She was just...poisoning the queen!

She was horrified. If she was found out about poisoning the queen, she would be dead. It would be a crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan! !

what to do? She thought that her face was completely pale and her hands were shaking unconsciously, but what should she do? Now that it's done, it's too late to turn back. Her hands kept trembling, and a voice in her heart kept saying in her ears, no, no...

But the other voice turned into his gentle voice: "As long as you are willing, you will be my favorite concubine from now on..."

Concubine! The status that she could never achieve in her whole life was the result of the blessing she had cultivated for several lifetimes before she could become that master.

She has fine clothes and fine food, no worries about eating and drinking, no need to kneel to anyone, and no need to get up before dawn every day. Her destiny is now in her own hands. Should she continue to be a lowly slave, or should she give it a try? Become a master? …

No, she will not become a slave for the rest of her life! She will definitely succeed!

Thinking about it, she quickly stood up, wrote down the tree where the porcelain vase was hidden today, and hurriedly turned around and left the imperial garden.

…

Yan Qiu carefully used flower paste to comb Nie Wushuang's hair. Nie Wushuang suddenly frowned: "Why is the flower paste different today?"

When Yan Qiu heard it, he smiled and said: "Today, I added an extra spice, cardamom, which can calm the nerves and calm the panic. I saw that the queen has not been able to sleep well in the past few days, so I made my own decision."

Nie Wushuang nodded with satisfaction, and Xiao Fengming on the side looked at her with a smile on his chin: "Watching Shuang'er combing her hair and even face is really a pleasing thing."
