Chapter 192 Dress up
Chapter 192 Pretending
The emperor ate the rice made by Zhao Su on time before afternoon. When she came, she looked as usual and even felt a little confident. Anyway, she could no longer see the depression she had when she left with the bloodstone in her arms.
The emperor didn't say anything, raised his chopsticks to eat, and did not say a word.
After getting off the wrong day, Zhao Su pulled Tong Xu and went to the Pei family with Pei Zhan.
The Pei family had a big mansion in the capital. As he said, there were many people in the family. When Mrs. Pei heard that it was a lady from the Qingyun Hou Mansion who came to visit, she solemnly welcomed the Chuhuamen.
Mrs. Pei was dressed up in a simple manner, with a kind look on her eyebrows and eyes. Once she smiled, the fine lines at the ends of her eyes became cute fish tails. Pei Zhan looked like his mother five or six, and her personality looked a bit similar.
Tong Xu was familiar with the Pei family and was so fucked in front of Mrs. Pei. After a busy meal, the three of them turned to the small garden in the east. Here, Pei Zhan's servant had already prepared all the materials.
Things like Paper Kilo are difficult or simple. Pei Zhan started by making a skeleton. After Zhao Su got started, he started teaching her to draw paper. Zhao Su had learned physics at least and did a lot of handicrafts when she was a child, but she didn't think it was too difficult.
Pei Zhan was relaxed, and he couldn't help asking during the process: "Why did you suddenly remember to be a kite?"
Zhao Su said vaguely: "I saw many people flying kites on the river beach in Cangzhou two days ago, and I thought of the last time you said you would do it. Anyway, there is no need to suppress your skills, so if you have a ready-made master, I will learn it."
Maybe this statement is acceptable, Pei Zhan smiled and taught her to paste the drawn paper on the kite skeleton.
Because she was just teaching her the production process, the paper was not very particular. After seven or eight experiments, the dragonfly made by Zhao Su finally flew into the sky. Then she officially pasted the oil paper and successfully flew up after the incident!
It was already dark when the Pei family said goodbye. In the next two days, Zhao Su was sent home to practice making kites.
The atmosphere about the Wanju Festival on the street is getting stronger and stronger.
The imperial edict that Empress Dowager Lu gave Zhao Su a gift to her with her was passed on to Zhao Su's hands the day before the festival. The people from the Marquis' Mansion heard the news at first, and Yao and the others were very excited and came to Qiyuyuan to help her clean up her clothes the next day.
"We are not of high rank, so tomorrow my aunt will take you into the palace. You must be obedient and not mess with the rules. It is natural for the empress dowager to take care of you, but only you among so many officials will win this honor, and it will inevitably become a thorn in others' eyes. You must be careful in everything and don't be obedient to others' words."
Huang, who helped Zhao Su to sort out his clothes, gave many instructions.
Du, who had sorted out his jewelry, also echoed: "If you don't talk about other people, first of all, the people from the Marquis of Jingnan will go, and Yu Qingping will definitely be indispensable.
"There are also ladies from the He family. Although their family is better, you should not expect too much to raise a lady like He Wanyu. There are also some who have not revealed their heads, so you must be careful that they will stumbling on you."
It’s not for the aunts that they are so careful. It’s because of He Wanyu’s group of children and ladies that made Zhao Su be taken into the palace by Empress Dowager Lu, and he almost couldn’t get out, which scared the people.
In their hearts, although Zhao Su has performed very well in the past few months, it is easy to avoid hidden arrows and is difficult to defend against. Compared with those who are used to scheming, they are still unmatched.
"I understand. I can't afford to mess with me. Anyway, I'll walk around the road when I see them."
Zhao Su also felt a sense of responsibility. Empress Dowager Lu had long said that she would not be allowed to make any trouble on the birthday of the Wanbao Festival, so if it was okay, she would not be afraid, but she would have to restrain herself no matter what.
It will be dawn in the blink of an eye.
According to today's process, the ministers first went in to celebrate their birthday, and then the officials kowtowed under the steps outside the store. After that, the officials went to the harem to pay tribute to Empress Dowager Lu. At noon, a banquet was held in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and men and women sat on both sides of the east and west.
The kite that Zhao Su made for the emperor was a goshawk, which was copied from Yun Xiangyi's paintings, and also accompanied by two flattering poems.
The words that have only been learning for two months are definitely not good-looking, but Empress Dowager Lu’s words make sense, "The key is to your heart." Anyway, she has tried her best, and I hope she can flatter her this time.
Considering the inconvenience of carrying, she improved her in the mansion in the past two days, referring to the kites he let out before traveling through time, and made a style that could be collected. It was about two feet long, and she asked Hua Xiangrong to take it. After the attack, she waited for an opportunity to offer it to the emperor.
Why did she choose to give it to him on the same day? She also considered it and gave it to him on the same day. Even if he was not satisfied, he would not have time to re-order it. What if he accepted it casually?
Zhao Su felt that she was quite smart.
After breakfast, she and Yao and her second sister Zhao Ying each entered the palace by car, and the Queen Qingyun and the others did not go along with them.
As expected, it was the emperor's birthday. There were endless carriages and sedans in the palace gate. After entering the palace gate, no matter whether men or women were dressed up. Some people knew Zhao Su and some didn't know her. However, no matter what, the lady from the Qingyun Marquis's Mansion was very eye-catching.
"The two daughters of the Luo family have indeed come."
Before she arrived at the Taihe Palace, Hua Xiangrong looked at the female relatives she met on the road, and then came to her ear and whispered.
Each official family member only allows one maid to follow him into the palace. Although Hua Xiangrong is not a servant, she often replaces Xiaoju and Xiaolan and the others at this time.
Zhao Su looked in the direction she signaled and saw a pair of young sisters in front of the left. After a spirited old man, they were indeed the old teacher and his two granddaughters.
Today, the two young ladies of the Luo family were goose yellow and the other were rouge, with high hair buns and just right jewelry. They were very eye-catching among the crowd. Several young and handsome children were already looking at them quietly.
"I think you are not as good-looking as a girl." Hua Xiangrong actually flattered her.
Zhao Su still knows himself: "Come on, I have a good attitude towards poetry and calligraphy. I am proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. My temperament has been developed long ago. The key is that I am really beautiful. Why should I compete with others?"
"Don't belittle yourself! Although you don't read many books, you are much more attractive than them in the eyes of your subordinates! There are many outstanding children entering the palace today. Girls can you also look for them?"
Hua Xiangrong seemed to have raised her voice a little to prove that what she said was the truth.
"What are you muttering?" Zhao Ying, who had been walking dignifiedly in front of them, looked back at them, "Many acquaintances along the way are ministers and officials of great rank. Many people are staring at us, so don't let anyone catch the talk."
"knew."
Zhao Su hurriedly signaled Hua Xiangrong to follow, and the conversation stopped.
