When it was the Lantern Festival, everything was almost ready. All the servant girls had already arrived at her little master's side. Zi Gan and Lu Rao naturally returned to Su Qi's side.
"Miss, I miss you so much." Cyanose ran to Su Qi's side and said with a sobbing tone.
Su Qi patted her cyanotic shoulder and comforted her softly,""It must have been hard these past few days.”
"Lu Rao greets little master." Lu Rao respectfully bowed, but her reddened eyes revealed her excitement.
"Look at Lu Ran. This is what a real palace maid looks like.”Su Qi smiled as she helped Lu Rao up.
Cyanose bowed and said,""Greetings, young master." Then, he stood up and smiled,"Do you have any instructions for me?"”As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows at Su Qi.
Su Qi and Lü Rao were amused by her cute appearance. Cyanose also laughed.
"Miss, what are you going to perform tomorrow? Do you need this servant to prepare something?”Lü Rao was much more attentive than Ziyan, so she naturally thought more.
Only then did Cyanose realize that he still had things to do, so he looked at Su Qi with a questioning look in his eyes.
"There's not much to do. The clothes were prepared by the palace's Clothing Bureau and have already been sent over. They're in the wardrobe. Lu Rao, you can check them again later. " However, you'll be busy with cyanosis. You have to help me play the accompaniment tomorrow…" Su Qi instructed the things to pay attention to one by one. She had watched harem dramas. Usually, it was especially easy to be framed at this time. Su Qi did not want such a thing to happen to her. It was better to be careful.
Just as Su Qi was almost done with her instructions, Teng Xi 'er walked in with two servant girls following behind her.
Lü Rao and Zi Gan bowed and left to prepare the things Su Qi requested. Teng Xi 'er's two servant girls also left, leaving only Su Qi and Teng Xi' er behind.
"Sister, your two girls are so pretty.”Teng Xi 'er still looked lively.
Su Qi poked her forehead and said dotingly,""Tomorrow is the imperial performance. Are you ready? Don't make any mistakes in front of the emperor.”
Teng Xi 'er looked indifferent and said playfully,""I'm just like this anyway. I'm not as pretty as Sister, and I'm not as capable as Sister. As long as I don't make a big mistake, it's fine. However, elder sister must work hard. It would be best if you can amaze the world tomorrow and make the emperor fall in love with you at first sight.”As he spoke, he even laughed.
Su Qi suddenly felt helpless and a few black lines appeared on her head. Who said that the ancients were shy? They were clearly more open-minded than her.
"You are really shameless." Su Qi looked at Teng Xi 'er as if she was blaming her, but the smile in her eyes could not be concealed.
Everything was almost ready. Night gradually fell and it was another quiet night. Su Qi was a little annoyed when she thought about the performance in front of the emperor tomorrow. She knew that once she went on stage, it would be difficult for her not to shine. After all, she didn't know the music here, and the music from the 21st century would definitely attract the attention of others. She remembered what her father had said to her that night and was still hesitating about how she should go in the future. As she thought about it, she could not resist the call of the Duke of Zhou and slowly fell asleep.
In fact, how could Su Qi have the right to choose? Ever since she entered the palace, everything about her had been told to the owner of the palace, who was the West Li Pool. No one knew what the West Li Yuan was thinking, or why it would pay so much attention to a woman who had just entered the palace. However, this meant that Su Qi could forget about living a peaceful life in the palace.
As for Xiao Chengzhe, he had been secretly searching for Ye Qi. Even he himself did not know why he had to find him and why he wanted to know about him.
The deal with him had been going on, and nothing had changed because of his disappearance. However, after so many days, there was no news of Ye Qi. Just like how no one knew that Ye Qi had come, no one knew that he had left.
Xiao Chengzhe suddenly recalled the day when Ye Qi fainted from the pain. He felt a faint pain in his heart.
Why? Why was this happening?
Night had yet to fall, but Su Qi was already sitting in front of the dressing table. She felt helpless as she let Lü Rao and Cyanosis touch her head and face. In fact, everyone was busy, but they did not feel helpless like Su Qi. The others were more nervous and excited.
"Little Master, it's done. Take a look and see if you're satisfied.”Cyan took the mirror and placed it in front of Su Qi.
Su Qi looked at herself in the mirror. Her light makeup made her facial features look even more exquisite. The pink rouge made her cheeks blush, and her alluring red lips made her look even more charming. Su Qi rubbed her temples gently and said helplessly,""Draw a little lighter."
Lu Rao frowned and advised," Little Master, this is already very faint. You can't change it anymore. Otherwise, it will be even more conspicuous."”Lu Rao was very meticulous. She knew why Su Qi cared so much about her makeup, so she naturally knew how to dissuade her.
When Su Qi heard what she said, she felt that it made sense and could only nod her head.
At this moment, Teng Xi 'er hopped over and said,""Sister Suqi, look, do I look good?”
Su Qi looked at her and saw that she was wearing a light green long dress. There were light blue lotus flowers embroidered on her sleeves and a few auspicious clouds were hooked up by silver threads. There was a dense row of blue seawater and cloud patterns at the bottom of the dress. There was a wide piece of brocade wrapped around her chest. Her body gently turned the long dress to spread out. Casually tied with tassels, her eyebrows were slightly swept, her eyes were full of spring, her skin was as smooth as warm jade, and her cherry lips were red without a dot. She was as beautiful as a drop of water, and the two strands of hair on her cheeks were gently blowing in the wind, adding a bit of seductive charm.
"You're indeed a beauty. I believe that everyone will be mesmerized by you.”Su Qi teased.
Teng Xi 'er's cheeks were either red from the blush or from shyness, but she had a different kind of charm. "Bad sister, you only know how to bully me.”
Su Qi looked at her with a smile in her eyes. Suddenly, Teng Xi 'er lowered her head and whispered to Su Qi,""Sister, if I do something wrong one day, will you forgive me?”
"What?" Su Qi looked at Teng Xi 'er in confusion.
"No, I said that Sister is so beautiful today.”Teng Xi 'er smiled.
Su Qi looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her long black hair was tied up into a beautiful bun. A few strands of hair were scattered down, making her look elegant and lively. She was wearing a light golden-purple embroidered robe with a translucent gauze of the same color draped over it. This made her look less charming and more lively. She was also a little confused.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Teng Xi 'er saw that Su Qi did not speak for a long time. She looked at the mirror in a daze and reminded her," We're leaving. The nanny said that we can't be late."”
Su Qi came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly. She stood up and went out with Teng Xi 'er.
The banquet was arranged in the imperial garden. Before the sky completely darkened, the surrounding lights were already lit. Hundreds of lights illuminated the imperial garden very brightly. There was a red lamp behind every two seats, making it look illusory and dazzling. Fruits were already placed on the table, but unfortunately, they could not be eaten at this time. All the seats surrounded a stage. There were bunches of plum blossoms on the side of the stage. They were red and lush.
Su Qi looked at the quaint banquet venue and suddenly felt that she should be here. Perhaps she should not always treat herself as an outsider.
The young masters who had just entered the palace were all arranged in a corner, and their respective servant girls were all standing in the corner. Almost everyone had arrived, and the night had completely darkened. Su Qi felt a gaze on her, and when she looked over, she saw a familiar figure in an official robe.
" Father," Su Qi called out silently. Her eyes were filled with heat. Ye Chen smiled and turned away from her.
Su Qi lowered her head and wiped away the tears in her eyes. When she raised her head again, she was already smiling. The surrounding people were chatting in twos and threes. It was not difficult to see their nervousness and excitement.
"Prime Minister Xiao has arrived!"
A eunuch shouted loudly. The banquet instantly fell silent as everyone looked at the door.
