Adore Trick of Beauty

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" After hearing the edict from the chamberlain, Wanmei repeatedly cried out: "I want to see the Queen!"

Disgust flashed through the eyes of the chamberlain: "The Queen has decreed that Wancai is not feeling well, so she should take good care of herself and wait until she is well before serving the Emperor."

The last sentence was tantamount to throwing Wanmei into the cold palace. After hearing this, Wanmei touched her face blankly, and then she truly realized her desperate situation: without her appearance, she would be dead in the palace!

Nie Wushuang moved into the middle hall in the evening, and there were many people paying attention. The maids and chamberlains in the entire "Yuanxiu Palace" quickly turned around. After a while, the entire middle hall of the "Yuanxiu Palace" suddenly took on a new look.

Mr. Wu, the chief chamberlain in the "Yuanxiu Palace", offered an example of Nie Wushuang's shortfall and said flatteringly: "Mr. Nie, please check and see if there are any missing ones?" Nie Wushuang opened the lacquer plate in his hand and scanned it. When she took a quick look, she saw gold, silver, and hairpins all over her eyes. This number was far more abundant than her small portion.

Her beautiful eyes glanced at Mr. Wu's mediocre fat face, and she smiled: "It's no less, thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Wu."

When she accepted these things, she naturally stopped pursuing their past troubles. Eunuch Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and Nie Wushuang waved his hand to him to retreat, and ordered Xia Lan to take the broken silver to reward the palace people. Wan Meiren was very harsh on the palace servants when she took charge of the "Yuanxiu Palace". Nie Wushuang's reward naturally won people's hearts. For a time, the palace servants in the "Yuanxiu Palace" became more and more attentive to their service.

During dinner, Xia Lan looked at the table full of delicacies and couldn't help but sigh: "My lord, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Nie Wushuang smiled slightly: "It's too early to say anything." She said no more. The Queen's attitude towards her today had reminded her that in the harem, if the superior was dissatisfied with her, her harem would be affected. The road won't be too far.

While Xia Lan was serving her dinner, she suddenly asked: "Wanmei deserves it. She used the noble man's rouge, otherwise she wouldn't be so unlucky and have her appearance ruined!"

Nie Wushuang paused for a moment, then said with a half-smile: "I told you that this rouge will still look the same even if it is given to her."

Xia Lan's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but glance at her. After Nie Wushuang had dinner, she went to the side hall and lay down on the couch to rest. She was playing with a small porcelain bottle in her hand. Xia Lan recognized that the porcelain bottle was used to collect dew, and she vaguely understood something in her heart.

Nie Wushuang played with it for a while, then looked up at Xia Lan, who was standing by and said, "I'm too full. Help me go out for a walk."

Xia Lan quickly helped Nie Wushuang out. The summer night was quiet, and it was not yet time to lock the palace door. Nie Wushuang walked slowly forward along the dim bluestone road. Xia Lan recognized that this was the way to "Lai Yi Palace" and couldn't help but be surprised: "My lord, are you going to..."

Nie Wushuang said calmly: "It's time to thank the Queen and give me my innocence."

Nie Wushuang came to the "Laiyi Palace" and asked for an audience. The palace attendant recognized her as Nie Wushuang and quickly went in to report. After a while, the palace attendant came out and said, "The Queen has made an announcement. Sir Nie has an audience."

Nie Wushuang walked in. The queen had already had dinner, so she probably didn't need to see the concubines in the palace again. She changed into a bright red palace dress, without the complicated phoenix and auspicious clouds on the dress, making her whole person look much more elegant. The entire side hall was silent, and the people in the palace lowered their faces and did not dare to make a sound.

Nie Wushuang came forward to pay homage: "My concubine, Mr. Nie, thanks the empress for her great kindness."

The queen took a sip of tea and looked at Nie Wushuang who was kneeling on the ground. After a moment of silence, she quietly turned away from the palace guests and said, "Get up." Nie Wushuang stood up and met the queen's eyes, only to see the way she looked at her. The expression on it was complicated, and it was unclear what was inside.

The queen lowered her eyes and looked at the rising and falling tea in her tea cup, and then said after a while: "Are you here just to thank me? If you are just here to thank me, you can go back."

Nie Wushuang knelt down again: "I am here today not only to thank you, but also to apologize to the Queen!"

"Excuse me?!" The queen raised her delicately painted eyebrows slightly, and her eyes showed doubts: "So, you are here to admit to me that you were the one who poisoned me?"

"Of course not." Nie Wushuang smiled and said, "Has the Queen forgotten that the imperial doctor has thoroughly checked that Wanmei is just allergic. I am innocent."

After hearing this, the queen leaned on the gold embroidered cushion with low spirits, and said in a sweet voice: "Don't talk to me about innocence. Who in this palace is innocent? If we can't find out that it was you, it doesn't mean that it's true. It was not you who did it. You were just playing a little trick. I advise you not to use this trick in the future. This is poisoning, and you will be punished for the crime of poisoning! Although you don’t have many clansmen, you still have one Brother, if you commit a crime, your brother's future will be ruined. Is this the result you two wanted after traveling thousands of miles to Yingguo?"

Nie Wushuang listened quietly, kowtowed again, and said respectfully: "I will remember the Queen's teachings in my heart. There is no need to say more about right and wrong. I am here today to apologize to the Queen. Please. The queen has forgiven me."

The queen was surprised: "What can I forgive you for?"

Nie Wushuang glanced at the queen and lowered her head to the ground: "I know that by entering the palace, I must have offended the queen's majesty. I came today to ask the queen to abandon her prejudice against me. I will definitely swear to death." Be loyal to the Queen!"

Although her entry into the palace was ordered by the emperor, it had already caused the queen to be deeply dissatisfied. Naturally, she couldn't complain about the emperor's decision, but she could treat Nie Wushuang without any pretense. When Nie Wushuang first entered the palace, she received a cold reception and made things difficult for her. Although the queen did not express it clearly, she also acquiesced invisibly. Otherwise, Bao Jieyu and Wan Meiren would not have made things difficult for her so unscrupulously.

.

Nie Wushuang figured this out and naturally came to untie the queen's knot.

The queen was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled: "What did Mr. Nie say? Come to peace. There were some dirty things in the palace, but they were all insignificant. Serving the emperor well is the way out for Mr. Nie."
