Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 186: Makeup

In the Jiaofang Palace, Queen Qiao looked at Li Jing thoughtfully.

"Why is my mother looking at me like this?" Li Jing laughed: "Is there something wrong with me?"

Queen Qiao said slowly: "You're fine. Ben Gong just felt that something was wrong between Mrs. Lu and Concubine Su."

Li Jing also showed a thoughtful expression: "Maybe it's a natural misalignment. Xiaoyu has such a temper. If she can catch her eye, she is very good. If she doesn't catch her eye, it's not pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it."

Queen Qiao gave Li Jing a dubious look: "Is it really that simple?"

"Otherwise, what else could it be." Li Jing smiled as a matter of course.

"Xiaoyu has no love for the third brother. Otherwise, he would not have rejected the third brother on that day. Concubine Su was dissatisfied with Xiaoyu because of this, and Xiaoyu naturally didn't like Concubine Su. Just now, Concubine Su's remarks were unkind. First, Xiaoyu wanted to vent her anger on behalf of her mother, and deliberately said she would send Concubine Su for a ride."

Queen Qiao's expression softened slightly and nodded slightly: "Although Mrs. Lu is a bit rebellious, she also has her advantages."

In the past, she had to deal with Empress Dowager Zhao alone, and she had to suppress Meng Guifei, Qin Xian, Sufei, and she often felt powerless. Now that she has a daughter-in-law, Lu Mingyu, who was born in a general and has an amazing and sharp tongue, the pressure on her shoulders has suddenly dropped by half.

It is difficult to support a single tree, but it is different when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law join forces.

Li Jing continued the conversation with a smile: "A woman with ability and ability will inevitably have some temper. You can't ask others to be sharp in front of our mother and son. In front of our mother and son, there is no such truth in the world."

Queen Qiao was very angry and funny: "Okay, your daughter-in-law is all right! Don't babble in Ben Gong's ear. Ben Gong didn't say anything about her."

After a pause, she said in a low voice, "You are late today. If there is anything else in the palace in the future, don't be late."

These words, I can only tell my son. To my daughter-in-law, I really can't say it.

Li Jing nodded cheekily: "Okay. I'm not in a hurry to make Xiaoyu pregnant sooner!"

Queen Joe: "..."

Queen Joe rubbed her forehead.

This is her own son, otherwise, she would have turned her face and expelled people long ago. In the past, she was polite, courteous and respectful, but how could she become so shameless after getting married!

While joking, Lu Mingyu also came back.

Queen Qiao looked at Lu Mingyu with a smile: "Concubine Su has returned to Yihua Palace?"

Lu Mingyu replied with a smile, "Yes. After I wanted to come back to accompany my mother, Concubine Su kept me for dinner at Yihua Palace, but I didn't respond."

In the palace, it is a basic skill that everyone must have.

Queen Qiao glanced at Lu Mingyu and hummed casually.

……

After this day's palace banquet, the day for Meng Yunluo to add makeup soon came.

Lu Mingyu and Meng Yunluo have known each other from the beginning, and they are going to be concubines in the future. It is natural to go to the makeup day, and the makeup ceremony must be prepared more heavily.

Lu Mingyu had made an appointment with Shen Lan for a long time, and returned to Lu's house in a carriage.

Lu Mingyue and Lu Xuan surrounded her with joy: "Fourth Sister, I knew you were coming back today, so I got up early and waited."

"Since I haven't seen you for so many days, Fourth Sister's complexion is getting better."

Actually, she has only been married for more than half a month. Returning to the Lu Mansion at this time, seeing the familiar smiling faces of the fifth sister and sixth brother, Lu Mingyu felt warm in her heart.

"I'm not in the house, you have to listen to the second sister-in-law." Lu Mingyu said with a smile: "especially the sixth brother, don't be naughty all day."

Lu Xuan vowed to answer: "Do you need to say that? During this period, I got up early every day to practice martial arts and read, and I never slack off. If you don't believe it, ask the second sister-in-law."

Lu Mingyu looked at Shen Lan.

Shen Lan pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, the sixth brother is not naughty at all, and he often helps me."

Lu Mingyu raised her eyebrows at Shen Lan: "Is she so good? You didn't mean to coax me!"

Before Shen Lan could say anything, Lu Xuan protested: "Fourth sister, why don't you believe me so much. I've always been good and obedient."

Lu Mingyue called out to him first with a smile. Then he said to Lu Mingyu, "Fourth sister, it's been a month since you got married. Would you like to come back and stay for a few days? My sixth brother and I both miss you. Although the adoptive father doesn't say it, he will definitely miss you in his heart."

This is also the current custom. When a woman gets married, she has to live in her husband's house for a full month before returning to her parents' house.

Lu Mingyu smiled and nodded: "Of course. I told Li Jing long ago that I have to come back and stay for seven or eight days before returning."

Lu Xuan winked and said with a smile: "Fourth brother-in-law can't be separated from fourth sister for a day, maybe he will come back with him!"

After joking, Lu Mingyu and Shen Lan went to the Marquis of Guangping together.

……

The Meng family was also very lively on this day.

Lu Lin, King of Xingyang, was a former military general who surrendered to Emperor Yongjia six years ago.

Menghui, Hou Menghui of Guangping, followed Emperor Yongjia when he started his army, and had the merit of following the dragon. Moreover, Concubine Meng was the favorite of Emperor Yongjia, and the eldest prince was Emperor Yongjia's favorite eldest son.

The mansion of the Marquis of Guangping has risen, as if it were the upstart of the Wei Dynasty. Compared with the scholarly family's Qiaofu, the momentum is even greater.

Now, Meng Yunluo is about to marry into the Tian family to be the third prince concubine, and the day of adding makeup is naturally lively. The female relatives who come to the door to add makeup are also endless.

Mrs. Guangping Hou was radiant and greeted the guests with a smile.

When Lu Mingyu and Shen Lan arrived together, Mrs. Guangping Hou greeted her in person: "The second prince concubine and the second young grandma of Lu arrived in person, making the Meng family flourish."

The importance of Lu Mingyu's identity is beyond words. It is Shen Lan, now the second young mistress of the Lu family, and the future prince and wife of Xingyang, who should not be neglected.

Lu Mingyu replied with a smile: "Yunluo and I have known each other for a few years, and we were close friends. In a few days, we will be sisters-in-law. It's okay to come to add makeup today."

Shen Lan took over the conversation with a smile: "It's ~IndoMTL.com~ that there are many people in your house today, so the madam doesn't have to greet us specially."

Mrs. Guangping Hou led them to Meng Yunluo's boudoir in person before leaving.

The ladies in the capital who came to add makeup gathered around Meng Yunluo, talking and laughing. Meng Yunluo's face was a little shy, but more joyful, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

As soon as Lu Mingyu arrived, all the girls stood up and saluted.

"Get up quickly," Lu Mingyu said with a smile: "Today is a happy day for Sister Meng to put on makeup, but don't be blamed by Sister Meng just because I am in the limelight."

Meng Yunluo was annoyed and funny: "Lu Mingyu, what do you mean by that! In your eyes, I'm the one who doesn't want to be in the limelight?"

"Isn't it?" Lu Mingyu pretended to be surprised. The crowd was amused and giggled.

On weekdays, Meng Yunluo would have been annoyed.

On a happy day like today, Meng Yunluo couldn't get angry even if she wanted to, she just laughed and spat at Lu Mingyu and gave up.
