Chapter 123 The Wind Rises
"His Majesty!"
There was a hint of hesitation in Lu Xinyin's sweet and naive voice, and she seemed to be thinking and not knowing how to start the conversation.
"You have something to say."
Qin Zhi held the cup with one hand and the lid with the other, then raised his eyes and said seriously.
"Your Majesty, do you know that Concubine Ying goes to the gate of Changchun Palace every day to block Yan Liangren?"
Lu Xinyin squatted down and looked up at Qin Zhi. She grabbed Qin Zhi's sleeves with both hands and asked softly.
"What? Did Yan Shuer instigate you to come and complain to her?" Qin Zhi put down the teacup and leaned back in his chair.
"It was my own decision. Yesterday, on my way to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, I ran into Concubine Ying scolding Lady Yan on the road."
Lu Xinyin pouted, let go of Qin Zhi's sleeve, and shook her head gently.
"I heard that you have been very close to Yan Shuer recently?"
Qin Zhi moved closer to Lu Xinyin's little face, looked into her eyes, and asked with interest.
"That's true. Sister Yan is very interesting and familiar with the palace.
I am just a bit soft-hearted. This is not the first time I have seen Concubine Ying bullying Sister Yan.
By chance, I helped Sister Yan out of trouble. Sister Yan would often come to my house to express her gratitude, bringing some small things she made herself.
After a few visits, we became familiar with each other. "
Listening to Lu Xinyin's innocent words, Qin Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Your Majesty, what are you laughing at?"
Lu Xinyin widened her cute almond eyes, revealing a look of confusion.
"I want to know what little things please you, so that I can learn from them."
"It is I who want to please Your Majesty.
It's some homemade rouge and powder, very delicate,
But Aunt Bai Zhong said that I was still young and it was not appropriate for me to put on makeup so early. So I could only watch the palace maids putting on makeup.
Sister Yan is very knowledgeable about women's makeup. She can even dress up the plain face of the senior palace maid she brought with her.
I also learned a trick from him.
Speaking of which, the name of her maid is really interesting, it's Da Zhuang, hahahaha.
There are also essential oils of various flowers. Although the palace also has a supply, it is not as complete as Sister Yan's collection."
As Lu Xinyin was talking, he stood up and motioned Bai Zhong to bring the things over. Then he opened the box full of bottles and jars and laid them out one by one.
"What is that? Bring it here and have a look."
Qin Zhi pointed to a small stack of papers next to the antique shelf.
"This is the leaf cards that Sister Yan sent me the day before yesterday. I'm not very good at playing it yet."
Lu Xinyin handed the stack of small pieces of paper to Qin Zhi as if he was presenting a treasure.
“Don’t get addicted.”
Qin Zhi stretched out his hand, but dodged the leaf card handed to him. He tapped Lu Xinyin's brow heavily with his fingertips and said gently.
"I understand, Your Majesty."
Lu Xinyin's pretty face drooped immediately.
"Will you come with me to the Suzaku Palace to see Concubine Hui and the Fourth Prince?"
Qin Zhi suddenly stood up and asked.
"I won't go."
Lu Xinyin hesitated, looking torn between wanting to go and not wanting to go.
"Did you break up with Concubine Hui?" Qin Zhi asked casually.
"Sister Xinghe and I have been playing together since we entered the palace. How can this friendship be broken so easily?
It was when we were playing mahjong yesterday that I promised Sister Yan that if I was free today, I would take her to Ci'an Palace to pay my respects to Aunt Empress Dowager.
You went to Sister Xinghe's place to see His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. It just so happened that when I went to my aunt's place, His Royal Highness the Third Prince was also there.
I, Yan Liangren and I will also learn from my aunt how to raise a young prince, so that when I have my own prince or princess, I won’t be so flustered.”
As Lu Xinyin spoke, her cheeks turned red and her eyes sparkled.
Qin Zhi raised his eyebrows and nodded, then turned and left without saying anything else.
