Male God Strategy System - Chapter 289
The new year banquet will arrive in the twinkling of an eye.
How many concubines in the palace dress up meticulously in order to show their faces in front of the emperor tonight. It is said that the virtuous imperial concubine has got clothes that will change color in the light from somewhere and plans to dominate the crowd tonight. The people of the Department of internal affairs were so busy that they went back and forth to send clothes, jewelry and other things to the masters of the palaces.
Across a palace wall, there was another scene in the Qianyi hall.
Xia Houyu changed into a court dress. The kingdom of Daxia respects purple. The prince’s imperial clothes are dark purple and embroidered with dark gold dragon patterns. The dragon has three claws, one grade lower than the emperor’s nine claws. Xia Houyu put on this dress, which is more dignified than usual. This is because he is too thin and his clothes are particularly broad.
Chen Jia carefully tied his hair – this skill was not easy for him to learn after he came to ancient times. Xia Houyu’s hair was carefully circled in the crown. The jade crown was polished very finely and inlaid with precious stones. Chen Jia passed the hairpin through it.
Xia Houyu fixed her eyes and asked, “isn’t this the hairpin I gave you?”
Chen Jia replied: “the third prince doesn’t seem to have many good hair accessories. You can’t wear a wooden hairpin on such a formal occasion.” Xia Houyu gave him the hairpin on her head last time she saw the precious medicinal materials he used. But Chen Jia noticed that since then, Xia Houyu’s head has always had a wooden hairpin, which is shabby and doesn’t look like the prince at all.
Xia Hou Yu touched the hairpin on her head and said, “then let me borrow it from you. After tonight, I can naturally get you something good.”
Although Chen Jia didn’t understand, she didn’t ask much. He took out hair oil and smoothed Xia Houyu’s broken hair bit by bit. His technique was so light that Xia Houyu was uncomfortable and narrowed her eyes slightly.
When a set of luggage is sorted out, Xia Houyu is really a graceful gentleman. He couldn’t find anything wrong except being too thin. Chen Jia couldn’t help but look stunned. She thought about Xia Hou Yu’s recovery and the appearance of holding the inverted triangular muscle. She couldn’t help swallowing her saliva quietly.
Xia Houyu looked at the people in the mirror. He had not looked in the mirror for too long since he was sick. He was afraid to see his thin, strange and dying self in the mirror, but now his face in the mirror was very different from that in the past. He began to look bright and his eyes were alive.
Xia Houyu looked around and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her clothes. Then she opened the porcelain box in front of the mirror. It was really the powder prepared by Zhong Liqing for him. According to Zhong Liqing’s statement, he poured out a little of the powder on the palm, dropped a drop or two, and then painted the dizzy powder on his face. After a moment, the originally vibrant face began to become waxy yellow, and the fundus of his eyes was black. Anyone looked like he was terminally ill.
Chen Jia stood aside and said, “I didn’t push it away here.” as he said, he leaned up to help him spread the powder on the back of his chin.
Xia Houyu has always disliked the personal service of others. The reason is that she doesn’t like the touch of others. He grew up in a complex environment and was more alert than anyone else. He had seen with his own eyes that the palace maids who said they were smiling had spit blood and died when trying dishes for him; He was also pinched by the ill intentioned concubine pretending to joke, but his cheeks began to swell the next day… The tricks of the harem were so defenseless that he couldn’t be at ease with anyone.
But Zhong Liqing is different. Not only did he not reject Zhong Liqing’s approach, he even longed for his touch.
He saw from the copper mirror that Zhong Liqing attentively helped him to spread the powder behind his chin. His face could clearly feel the temperature of Zhong Liqing’s fingertips. It was obviously some cool fingertips, but it made him feel that his skin was going to burn.
Fortunately, the touch time was very short, and Zhong Liqing quickly withdrew his hand. Xia Houyu leaned slightly, covered up her hot ears, stood up and said, “let’s go.”
Zhong Liqing, as his former companion and now a close eunuch, naturally has to serve around. According to the system of the great Xia state, the prince should be accompanied by at least two eunuchs, two palace maids, four guards with knives, and a steward Mammy, with at least nine servants in front and behind. However, Xia Houyu often came and went alone from small to large.
Chen Jia later asked him why there were no servants in the Qianyi hall before he came.
Xia Houyu still answered him like that, “because I killed them all.”
Chen Jia smiled and shook his head: “I don’t believe it. The third prince is not the one who raised him.”
Xiahou Yu was silent for a moment. Then he said, “the people in the hall of dry instrument seem to be all my servants. Actually, none of them is my people, but they are all the eyelids of each palace. Even the maid sent by the queen is just to monitor my life and report to the queen.”
Chen Jia was speechless. The people in the palace really had ulterior motives. Even a waste wood prince would not let go.
“Even so, I don’t believe that the third prince will kill people,” Chen Jia said firmly.
Xiahou Yu answered, “one day, in order to banished these eyeliner, I deliberately locked myself in my room and cut my arm. The blood flowed to the ground, and the wound was very heavy, so I was disturbed by the emperor. The emperor scolded the people around him for a long time, and he tried to kill the servants in the hall.”
Chen Jiaxin was surprised. Xia Houyu did have many old scars on his body. He thought it was because he was inconvenient to move and had many injuries. Unexpectedly, there were scars he scratched on himself.
Xia Houyu continued, “I didn’t intend to execute them, but just wanted to drive them out. The emperor’s will is too heavy, but I can’t get it back. I don’t kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me…”
“No.” Chen Jia’s exit interrupted Xia Houyu’s loneliness, The men at their birth were good in nature. They were originally the poor children of the poor families, but they were only obeying the orders of the master. The masters behind them had done things against their hearts. Put them to death again. At best, the third prince’s business is just a reason. Do you think they won’t die without this fuse? ”
Xia Houyu’s eyes were burning and seemed to have feelings.
Chen Jia said, “if the third prince really wants to avoid this tragedy, he should ascend to the throne of God as soon as possible. The disputes in the harem and the imperial court will only be settled when the next emperor comes.”
Xia Houyu was silent, and her bony hand was tightly held under her sleeve.
Outside the hall, a eunuch came to ask for orders, which broke the silence of the moment: “Xuan, the third prince went to the Taiping hall for a banquet.”
Xia Hou Yu took a breath and said, “let’s go.”
Chen Jia lowered her head and arched her back, made the standard posture of a eunuch, and quickly followed Xia Houyu’s steps.
