C135 Palace Feast(4)
"You are that Miss Lin from Yingcheng?" Imperial Physician Hu, who had been standing by the side, asked in a trembling voice. He looked at the veiled woman in front of him in disbelief.
"Official." Lin Miaoting had no intention of hiding anything.
"Please forgive me for my disrespect just now." As she spoke, she bent down and prepared to bow. The corner of Lin Miaoting's mouth twitched under her veil.
When I was in Yingcheng, why didn't I see you act so humble? Now you are acting in front of the Empress, Crown Prince, and Royal Highness. Lin Miaoting's sneer deepened.
But it was helpless that she could not keep receiving other people's gifts. No, that would make it seem that she was too calculative. "Imperial Physician Hu, you are also wholeheartedly thinking about Empress's illness. How can I blame you? Otherwise, I believe that you would not have let Empress take this medicine without knowing that the penicillin's medicinal properties are so overbearing."
Lin Miaoting helped her up and smiled. A simple smile appeared on her face. She did not believe that she would not be able to trick this old man to death.
The Empress and the Crown Prince did not say anything after hearing Lin Miaoting's words but they still used their eyes to look at Imperial Physician Hu. The dissatisfaction in their eyes was self-evident. One could imagine Imperial Physician Hu's future official career. ...
"Miss Lin, Aunt Qing will stay. The rest of them should leave. Aijia is going to change. " The Empress' speaking speed slowed down, one word at a time.
Yes, Mother. "
"This official will take his leave."
Seeing the others leave the hall, Empress called Qing Gu to help her up. "Go and bring the set of clothes that Qi'er prepared for me and the headdress."
A fiery red earth supporting long robe embroidered with a golden phoenix that seemed to shoot straight into the clouds. Surrounding it were many auspicious clouds that were outlined by silver lines. The phoenix tail hung down until it swayed, and its wings extended directly to the sleeves on both sides.
"This robe is very imposing." Empress smiled, and her eyes were full of praise for the dress. When the maid who was holding the dress turned around and saw Empress facing her, the light in Empress's eyes was more like she saw something she loved.
She saw the inner shirt inside. The upper half of the shirt was designed to retract the waist. The upper half was made of phoenix feathers embroidered with golden thread. Although there were no rules, it had its own rules. The skirt on the lower body was designed with lotus leaves, and there were hundreds of different birds embroidered on it. They were all flying up.
"What a magnificent view of a hundred birds flying towards the phoenix. It's truly magnificent! Impressive! Hurry up and bring that ornament over for me to take a look."
When the other maid brought the ornament over, Empress's eyes first revealed a deep joy, and then it darkened again.
"Forget it." She sighed silently and looked at the headdress and the phoenix robe with a hint of pity in her eyes. "Let's go and see if there are any other ornaments."
Lin Miaoting, who was by the side, had been observing Empress's expression and felt a little down in her heart. "How can I not be down? These are originally the two most compatible things, but to let the other accessories match, it would more or less lose the original luxury of the clothes.
"Empress, wait." Lin Miaoting walked in front of the plate of jewelry and took off the ruby phoenix hairpin that was originally arranged on the huge phoenix crown.
"Empress, one is enough."
"How can that be? This phoenix crown is a match for the phoenix robe. " How can I remove it so easily? " That Qing Gu who supported Empress to sit in front of the vanity mirror suddenly reprimanded in a stern voice.
Reporting to Empress, although this phoenix crown is a perfect match for this phoenix robe, Her Ladyship's current body is really not suitable to wear such a heavy object on her head. Also, this phoenix robe is already very imposing. If you add this magnificent phoenix coronet, it will inevitably have the meaning of stealing the host."
Lin Miaoting knelt down and said.
"You ~ ~ Tell me ~ how to snatch the host?" Empress looked at Lin Miaoting who was kneeling on the ground with a phoenix hairpin in her hand.
"First of all, according to the habit of looking at people, one would look at the head of a person first. Therefore, although this phoenix robe carries the will of ten thousand birds facing the phoenix, if one were to wear this nine-tailed phoenix coronet, because it was too luxurious, it would inevitably conceal the aura of this dress. In addition, Empress, you... "
It is because you are not feeling well that it is harder to control the aura brought by the phoenix coronet and the phoenix robe duo. On the other hand, wearing a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin can reflect my identity as the Empress and also allow others to see the meaning behind my robe. You have a clear and exquisite heart. How about you change your profession and become a clothing shop owner? "
The Empress naturally took over Lin Miaoting's words. Seeing that Lin Miaoting did not answer for a long time, she said, "Forget it, you can get up."
Lin Miaoting passed the phoenix hairpin to Aunt Qing and slowly got up. Luckily she tied it up and knelt down easily, otherwise she would definitely have wasted her time here. As for the boss of the pawnshop that the Empress mentioned, she was just about to do it!
However, the fewer people who knew, the better! She liked to be a low-profile person, the corner of her mouth slightly raised under the veil.
"But isn't this phoenix hairpin a little too monotonous?" After the Empress put on her clothes, she sat in front of the mirror and looked at herself.
"Put this on." Lin Miaoting took off the left and right side of the parasol tree branch that was used to decorate the phoenix crown. She drew in between the Empress's hair.
"Not bad." The Empress looked at the mirror in satisfaction. "Phoenix Phoenix Perch Tree. You know quite a bit."
Lin Miaoting bowed her head and smiled, "Thank you for Empress's praise."
"Help Aijia see what kind of makeup Aijia is suitable for." Empress looked at Lin Miaoting and then turned to look at herself in the mirror.
"Her Ladyship's face is slightly pale. Just a little bit of makeup will do. If she put too much makeup on, it might be too white. On the contrary, under the contrast of red, it would feel even more comfortable. I suggest that the makeup on your lips should be lighter. This way, you can raise the color and make people look very energetic. And the blush should be peach-pink, so that it won't be coquettish. Instead, it has a hint of pure charm. "The eyebrows will be slightly drawn into willow leaf eyebrows."
Aunt Qing did as Lin Miaoting requested and put makeup on Empress. When Empress opened her eyes, she could not believe her eyes.
The pure little girl in the mirror was her mother? She was already an old woman in her thirties.
Empress gently stroked her cheeks and looked at herself in the mirror from left to right.
Seeing Empress's reaction, Lin Miaoting also heaved a sigh of relief. Working for the emperors was really worrying. Fortunately, Empress's foundation was very good. Otherwise, it would really be hard to control her domineering clothes and makeup. It could not be helped that Empress's health was not good and she could not bear that gorgeous phoenix crown.
It was good to be thrifty.
