Chapter 36 Not a Time Traveler
Chapter 36 Not a Time Traveler
Lu Xinyin was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, tidying up her slightly messy hair, when she received Qin Zhi's order.
"My dear, look, isn't the Fengluan Spring Grace Car coming?"
"Aunt Bai Zhong, I want to take a bath." She said shyly with a red face.
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it for you right away. What kind of clothes do you want to wear? What kind of hairstyle do you want?"
"Didn't you say you learned a new hairstyle? Just do that for me. The Queen Mother sent me some new clothes a while ago. Can you see which one suits me?"
"The slaves obey."
"As for clothes, I think pink, pale blue, or light yellow dresses are most suitable for you, my dear. They can make you look more charming and lovely."
"I dare to think that all the ladies in this palace must have their own characteristics and must not be the same. Only in this way can they leave an impression in front of Your Majesty and not be lost in the crowd."
"For example, Concubine Yi was born with a bright and beautiful appearance, dignified and elegant, so she was most suitable to wear a bright red palace dress with gold embroidery; Concubine Ying had fair skin and a plump figure, so she often wore a duck yellow gauze skirt, which made her skin look even more plump and fair."
"You have a pair of round almond eyes, innocent and shy. I suggest that you wear the pink peach blossom cloud mist silk shirt when you go to the Qingliang Palace to sleep with me for the first time."
Lu Xinyin pursed her rosy lips, somewhat reluctantly.
Bai Zhong continued, "I know you love the light blue butterfly-patterned cloud satin skirt the most, but I heard that there are many light blue gauze curtains hanging in the Xun Qingliang Palace. Why don't we keep it and wear it next time your Majesty comes to the Hanzhang Palace?"
"Good!"
--------------------
After Qin Zhi finished reviewing the memorials and had dinner alone, he returned to the back hall of Qingliang Palace, where he saw Lu Xinyin running towards him with a red face and brisk steps.
"Xiyin greets my cousin the emperor!" Lu Xiyin lowered her eyes and dared not look at him.
"Come here, raise your head, and let me see."
Qin Zhi carefully looked at the man from head to toe. Lu Xinyin's eyes were a little vague and she dodged, not daring to look directly into Qin Zhi's eyes. Her cheeks and earlobes seemed to be red as if they were about to bleed.
"Your hairstyle is really novel, does it have a name?" Qin Zhi said slowly, with a hint of malicious teasing in his voice.
Lu Xiyin's eyelashes trembled, and she said bluntly: "This is something that Aunt Bai Zhong from Hanzhang Palace has just learned. I heard that it is very popular outside the palace. Xiyin doesn't even know its name."
Qin Zhi didn't say whether he believed it or not: "What's your relationship with Qin Wu?"
Lu Xiyin's voice was slightly hesitant: "I grew up in seclusion and have never seen other people."
She looked at Qin Zhi with her watery almond eyes, her voice trembling slightly.
"Then do you know what crime it is to deceive the emperor?" Qin Zhi asked leisurely, touching the end of Lu Xinyin's hair.
"I really don't have any, I really don't have any."
She grabbed the corner of Qin Zhi's clothes, and finally couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes. The tears fell like beads and threads, and her voice was a little choked.
Qin Zhi continued with a mischievous smile in his eyes: "But, I heard that Qin Wu is looking for you. He said he wants to break into the palace to marry you."
"Xiyin really doesn't know any man named Qin Wu, Your Majesty, please believe me!" Upon hearing this, Lu Xinyin knelt down suddenly, looked straight at Qin Zhi, then shook his head and firmly denied it.
Seeing Lv Xinyin's fragile yet determined expression, Qin Zhi was still very suspicious, but he was willing to give her a chance, and said gently: "How about I ask him to confront you tomorrow?"
"Okay." Lu Xinyin nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
He reached out and pulled out the hairpin that was holding up Lu Xinyin's hair and threw it aside. Lu Xinyin's hair fell down, and the other small hairpins also slid to the ground, making crisp sounds.
"In that case, a night of spring is worth a thousand gold. Let's rest."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Xinyin felt a little nervous.
Qin Zhi did not treat her harshly because of what he said before, but was as gentle as ever.
Her hands clenched the sheets beneath her, feeling a little frightened. She had lost control of her body before, and a soul from another world had taken over everything she had.
She was a little scared. What if that soul was really entangled with Qin Wu mentioned by her cousin?
A tear rolled down the corner of Lu Xinyin's eye.
