After teasing the important minister, he took it seriously

"Your Majesty, don't you want to see the lanterns?" Xie Che's tone was almost persuasive.

He tried his best to suppress his nature in front of the little emperor, trying not to make the child cry.

Under Xie Che's half-smiling gaze, Li Chengqi touched her delicate face.

"Dressing up as a noble lady with an appearance like His Majesty's must be the appearance of a heavenly man."

Li Chengqi said in her heart that Gu knew that she was young and beautiful, so she didn't need Qing to remind her.

The little emperor seemed extremely difficult, hesitating and hesitant, embarrassed to pretend to be a girl, but he was reluctant to part with the lanterns, so he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I am alone."

Xie Che turned his head away, and said: "I obey the order, I will make arrangements immediately."

There were smiles piled up on the lips and corners of the young man's eyes, which were charming but dazzling.

Unlike the shyness and reluctance shown, Li Chengqi was even eager to try.

As Xie Che said, he would look good dressed up like this, but he was curious about how good it would be.

However, Li Chengqi had to pretend to be a child who didn't have much heart. Li Chengqi couldn't show his joy very clearly.

Things like putting on makeup and changing clothes can't be done in Changle Palace, so I chose a remote palace with no one there, and let Xie Che arrange everything.

In less than half an hour, several eunuchs and court ladies had already delivered the things into the main hall.

Li Chengqi stood behind the screen, leaning lazily.

The Xie family is very powerful, Xie Che can enter and leave the palace freely, ordering the palace people as if he were at home.

It is the contribution of Xie Mingyue.

He closed his eyes tiredly.

In the past, he believed in Xie Mingyue as his cousin, so that Xie Mingyue could enter the palace without being called. The latter two broke up due to a fierce quarrel. Li Chengqi watched Xie Mingyue's leaving back and immediately ordered Xie Mingyue not to enter the palace at will.

Although he withdrew his order the next day, and sent someone to appease and reward Xie Mingyue, telling him that everything would remain the same, but Xie Mingyue was not called and never entered the palace again.

Xie Che came in, saw the blurry shadow behind the screen and knew it was Li Chengqi, so she walked around the screen quietly.

When Li Chengqi closed her eyes, she frowned slightly, as if there were all sorts of things she couldn't understand.

The little emperor had a pure heart, his emotions were written all over his face, he came and went quickly, but he never showed such an expression.

Xie Che was slightly taken aback.

Li Chengqi opened her eyes, as if she still didn't want to pay attention to the instigator who made her wear women's clothes, "Young Master."

"Your Majesty, the person who came to put on your majesty's makeup is here." Xie Che restrained the inexplicable emotions in his heart, and said.

"Do you still have to put on makeup?"

Xie Che nodded and coaxed him, "If you don't wear makeup, you won't be able to go out."

Li Chengqi glanced at him, although it might be a stare, but it was not threatening at all, instead it made Xie Che hold back his laughter even more.

He suppressed Li Chengqi's abnormality just now in his heart, just pretending that he didn't see anything.

There were all kinds of clothes on the table outside, all of which were selected according to the stature of a girl in her twenties. Although Li Chengqi was not taller than Xie Che, she was not short either.

What's more, the body is stretching, and the shoulders are gradually widening. The clothes of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl are not suitable.

On the other side are earrings, hairpins and other things, and three trays are neatly arranged.

The palace maid standing in front of the dressing table bowed and said, "Young Lord." She paused, as if she didn't know how to address her. Xie Che glanced at Li Chengqi, and Li Chengqi said without thinking, "Just call him Mr. Wen."

arts?

Xie Che didn't understand.

"Young Master Wen."

The imperial palace is huge, and Li Chengqi only went to and from Changle Palace and Kunning Palace when she came here, and now she has added an imperial study.

Of the ten thousand people in the palace, I don't know how many of them have never seen the emperor from birth to death, let alone Li Chengqi, a young emperor who has been on the throne for two months.

The female official of Shangfu Bureau didn't know Li Chengqi's identity, but she knew Xie Che. To be in the palace with Xie Che, her identity must be extraordinary.

It was not their turn to comment on the matter of the nobleman, so the palace servant didn't say a word of nonsense, just said: "Mr. Wen please sit down."

This used to be the bedroom of a certain concubine, but the late emperor's harem was empty, and no one had lived here for decades. Although someone cleaned it every day, it still exuded a cold air of no one living there.

Li Chengqi sat in front of the dressing table.

Dozens of bottles and cans are placed on it, all in various colors.

For a man like Li Chengqi who has never experienced what makeup is like in two lifetimes, he asked his husband in a low voice, and the thickness of his eyebrows is in the middle of the day, the complexity of these things is close to military affairs.

Xie Che hadn't married a wife yet, and he didn't have a concubine, so he was very surprised to see these exquisite little things. He picked up a small box, a small blue porcelain box with ice cracks, without any decorations and pinched flowers. When he opened it, there was a faint sweet fragrance Tangy, with goose yellow grease inside.

The female officer said softly: "Mr. Wen, please close your eyes."

Li Chengqi closed her eyes as she said.

Something cool and soft was applied to his face. The female officer applied some between the brows, cheeks, and chin, and stretched out three fingers to spread the nearly colorless liquid evenly.

Xie Che poured some of the thing that the female officer had just applied to Li Chengqi's face, and it also had a slight floral fragrance, "What is this?"

"Back to the young master, it's sweet-scented osmanthus water. The young master's face is a bit dry. If you put on makeup directly, the powder will fall off easily."

Xie Che nodded with a half understanding.

The female officer took two pieces of soybean-sized ointment, folded her hands, and gently applied the ointment to Li Chengqi's face after the ointment melted slightly in her hands.

Li Chengqi's eyelashes trembled.

The last time people touched his face with his eyes closed like this, he was still too sick to get out of bed, so the palace maid wiped his face.

After all these things were done, the palace servant took fine white cream and applied it carefully and evenly on Li Chengqi's face.

Li Chengqi was originally white, so she used very little lead powder.

The female officer put down the porcelain vase, "Young Master has thick eyebrows, and it might not be suitable for you to wear the makeup that is popular nowadays. Young Master, Young Master Wen, can you shave some off?"

Li Chengqi closed her eyes and shook her head.

Shaved thin eyebrows really look good with makeup on, but he usually doesn't intend to wear women's clothing, and the curved thin eyebrows will only be very abrupt on his face.

"Yes, the servant girl knows."

The female officer's finger was originally touching a very light-colored powder, and slowly moved to another box.

"Young master, please raise your face a little bit."

Li Chengqi raised her face as she said.

He couldn't see it, but Xie Che could see it all.

After painting the eyes, I took the lip balm and painted it on for Li Chengqi.

When the female officer stopped, Li Chengqi slowly opened her eyes.

The person in the mirror was still a man with crown hair, but his face was extremely gorgeous, and the powder did not cover the red mole on Li Chengqi's eyelids.

Instead, he focused on embellishments to make it more eye-catching. His face was expressionless, and the tails of his eyes were red and slightly raised. He was actually a very cold and gorgeous beauty.

Li Chengqi looked at Xie Che in the mirror.

Xie Che stopped breathing for a moment, and then immediately said as usual: "It's exactly as I said."

He felt that there was something wrong with him, but immediately attributed it to the love of beauty in everyone.

Li Chengqi laughed too.

In an instant, it was burning like a peach blossom.

But he said: "It's far from it."

"Not as far as what?"

Li Chengqi smiled without saying a word.

Li Yin is only five points similar to him. If he had done this makeup in the previous life, he does not know how stunning it would be.

Li Chengqi felt sorry for herself.

The female official tied Li Chengqi's shocking bun, and chose matching accessories for Li Chengqi to wear. Among them, there was a red treasure hairpin that was the most ingenious, with a very thin strand of gold thread hanging down, slightly brushing Li Chengqi's forehead, and hanging down to her chin.

Because the head was much heavier than before, Li Chengqi's movements were very slow and careful. He turned his head slowly, and Xie Che had already come over with the clothes in his hands.

After everything was packed, the sun was setting.

Li Chengqi sat on the carriage leaving the palace, but within half an hour, he felt his head was about to fall off his shoulders.

The decorations on his head and body are simple and simple, there are no palace flowers on his head, no earrings and necklaces are forbidden, and Li Chengqi wears three jade bracelets on his wrists, which are very thin jasper rings. When they raised their hands, they collided with each other, and the sound of jade was dazzling.

It was only at this time that he began to admire those sisters and sisters-in-law of his family who could walk freely and beautifully in clothes that were in line with their status.

"Young Master," Li Chengqi was a cold beauty when she was silent, and she was still soft and childish when she spoke, "You can't even walk if you dress like this alone, let alone go to the market and watch the lanterns."

Xie Che nodded deeply, and said something that Li Chengqi heard should be pushed out to show the public, "Shouldn't Ruochen send His Majesty back to the palace?"

Li Chengqi: "Huh?"

You are more daring than your father.

Xie Che subtly felt the wonderful mood of being an older brother, which was slightly different from being someone else's older brother.

Li Chengqi's hand gently stroked the falling curtain of gold thread, the wonderful touch made him want to take it down and play with it.

However, he was very self-aware that pulling out the hairpin might mess up the hair, and neither he nor Xie Che could change the hair back to its original state.

It is not allowed to ride horses in the city, Xie Che ordered to stop.

Xie Che jumped out of the car first, and the light from outside shone in, reflecting Li Chengqi's face indistinctly.

"If His Majesty is a daughter, those who want to marry His Majesty may step through the threshold of Prince Ping's Mansion." Xie Che joked.

Li Chengqi raised her head, and the ornaments on her hair collided with each other, making a pleasant sound.

Xie Che stretched out his hand, the meaning was very obvious.

Li Chengqi didn't refuse. He was afraid that he would fall if he went straight down, so he put his hand in Xie Che's palm and let him help him down.

Although this hand is delicate, it is by no means the softness of a girl.

Xie Che calmed down a little.

Li Chengqi landed on the ground, but replied: "Young Master is very praised, Gu heard from Mr. Xie a few days ago that Xie's family has produced several empresses, do you know?"

Xie Che was at a loss, "I don't know."

Li Chengqi smiled, "Then you know now."

There was one more thing Li Chengqi didn't say.

The Xie family did have several empresses, but Li Yanyin was supported by Cui Yin, so he naturally married the current Empress Dowager Cui Taoxi at Cui Yin's request.

However, Li Yanyin is gentle and unyielding, and has a very good relationship with Xie Mingyue's parents, even to the point of marrying them with their fingertips.

What Li Chengqi didn't say was, if your father was a daughter's family, he would be an orphaned widow now.

Fortunately, Xie Mingyue is not, Li Chengqi is very lucky, otherwise he might not even live to be thirty.

The city is bustling with endless hawkers, and the aroma of various snacks is overflowing. In addition to the big lights on the street, there are also strings, and small lights of different shapes are hung on them, just above the heads of passers-by.

Li Chengqi sighed and smiled.

The last time I came, there was a curfew in the city, and the surrounding area was empty. The vicissitudes of voices echoed in the street, and from time to time, armored imperial troops patrolled and froze.

Actually, it has been 15 years.

Xie Che asked, "What are you laughing at, young master?"

"I laughed, the scenery here is quite different." He replied.

There is no ever-declining dynasty in the world, let alone a long-lived emperor. The great achievements of the court have disappeared with the loneliness, but the loneliness is very happy.
