Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

After the goddess of flowers was chosen, the famous scholar Xiao Huai delivered a letter to the palace. In the afternoon, a large group of palace maids and female officials around Queen Yu came to the gate of Luo Mansion in the goddess's costumes.

Inside the hall, Lady Xia, the lady of Luo Mansion, had already led the ladies to be on high alert. When they saw the Queen approaching, Ms. Liu immediately saluted.

"Your humble servant greets Ms. Liu!"

Ms. Liu looked to be about 30 or 40 years old. She wore the popular goose yellow makeup, had her hair done in a high bun, wore a gold hairpin on her head, and was dressed in a red official uniform with wide sleeves. She carried an air of aura with her steps.

The palace maids behind her were all wearing red palace maid uniforms with wide straight sleeves, with white powder on their faces and their hair combed into a bun.

Red was regarded as a symbol of happiness and auspiciousness, and the clothing of palace maids and concubines in the Jin Dynasty was usually red.

Their dresses are often decorated with gold and silver thread embroidery patterns, jeweled necklaces and other decorations, highlighting their aristocratic identity and status.

"Madam Young Master, please get up quickly!"

Ms. Liu took two steps forward and helped Mrs. Xia up. Then the two exchanged a few polite words, which were nothing more than "Madam, you look so good today", "It's been a long time since we last met. Ms. Liu looks younger and younger", or "How is the Queen these days?" and so on.

Luo Qin lowered her head, looked at her toes, and listened silently. After the two had talked enough, Ms. Liu looked at Luo Qin and said, "This lady, I guess you are the goddess of flowers this year?"

Hearing that the topic fell on herself, Luo Qin stepped forward and saluted: "Madam, it is my daughter."

"Miss Luo, why don't you raise your head so I can have a good look at you."

Hearing this, Luo Qin raised her face, revealing a face as beautiful as a peach blossom in spring, delicate and charming.

The girl's skin was as white as mutton-fat jade, soft and delicate, her eyebrows were slightly raised, as graceful as a crescent moon, her eyes were bright, like stars, she looked around with radiance, her nose was straight, her lips were red without any makeup, and the slightly upturned corners of her mouth showed a subtle and gentle smile.

She has an elegant temperament, like a fairy from earth. Her every move and gesture reveals the demeanor of a lady from a noble family, and her every frown and smile exudes charming charm.

Her beauty lies not only in her appearance, but also in her inner cultivation and bearing. Her existence seems to make time stand still, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

Ms. Liu took a closer look, her mouth slightly opened in astonishment, she paused for a moment, then nodded and praised: "What a peerless beauty! This year's Goddess of Flowers is well deserved!"

Then he continued with a smile to Xia: "Madam Shaofu, your Luo family has really raised a good daughter. Such a talented and beautiful girl is rare in the world. Could she be a real immortal who has descended to the earth?"

Xia continued to joke about what Ms. Liu said, "Oh, Ms. Liu, please don't say it, otherwise Ah Qin will really fly to the sky if she hears too much."

"Hahaha, then I'd really become the Goddess of Flowers!"

After a few more jokes, Ms. Liu called the palace maids behind her. Each of them held a red lacquered wooden tray with the flower goddess's clothes on it.

"This is the flower god's costume. Miss Luo, please change into it quickly. After that, we should go parade and scatter flowers." Ms. Liu said.

Luo Qin bowed softly: "Yes."

The palace maid and Luo Qin's own maid went to the side room to change their makeup.

The clothes were folded just now and he couldn't see clearly, but after the palace maid unfolded them, Luo Qin discovered that they were extremely similar to the pictures of immortals seen on some cultural relics and murals in later generations.

The top is a green robe with a red knee-length skirt lining, decorated with ochre, white and gold ornaments. The lower skirt is red, and the outer layer is a blue-green printed shawl. There are many embroidered patterns on the clothes.

There are also flower-patterned hair accessories, gold and jade hairpins, a jeweled necklace around her neck, a red ribbon and an intricate pearl necklace around her waist, and a pair of pearl-studded pointed-toe shoes on her feet.

After she changed her clothes, the palace maids came quickly to comb Luo Qin's hair. She combed it into the kind of multi-ring flying fairy bun seen in the paintings of ladies. It was the first time for Luo Qin to wear so many false buns (wigs), and with all kinds of pearl flower hair accessories, her head felt a little heavy.

After her hair was done, the palace maid cut a plum blossom and pasted it between her eyebrows.

After finishing, the palace maid smiled and said, "Miss Luo, please look at the bronze mirror."

Luo Qin looked at herself in the carved bronze mirror. It was the first time she saw herself like this.

The beauty in the bright bronze mirror has a graceful figure, just like a flower goddess descending to earth, with hair as white as mist, skin as white as snow, eyebrows as dark as distant ink, eyes as clear as autumn water, lips that are red without any makeup, and cheeks that are powdered without any powder.

The girl's beauty is more delicate and lovable than the flowers in her hair. Her red lips are slightly parted, as charming as a blooming flower, and her smile exudes a warm and charming charm.

A colorful long skirt flows gracefully, as if surrounded by clouds and mist, exuding an otherworldly temperament.

"Girl, are you satisfied?" the palace maid asked with a smile.

"Thank you so much to all the sisters who are so clever and skillful. Ah Qin is naturally very satisfied."

The maid pursed her lips and smiled, "As long as the girl is satisfied, let's go out and let Ms. Liu and Madam Shaofu have a look."

She helped Luo Qin to stand up, and surrounded by a group of maids, Luo Qin walked out of the room gracefully.

At this time, the hall was filled with people from the Luo family, including men, women, old and young. When Luo Qi saw how beautiful his sister was, he smiled so hard that his face almost convulsed.

Luo Yin and other young men of the Luo family stood there in a daze, staring without blinking, then blushed slightly and looked away embarrassedly.

The girls of the same age as Luo Qin, Luo Rong, Luo Jiao, Luo Rou and others, happily pulled Luo Qin, looked her up and down, looked at her carefully again and again, and praised her endlessly.

Luo Jiao smiled and took Luo Qin's arm and teased: "Qin, this outfit really suits you. If you don't know, you would really think the flower god has come to our house."

Luo Rong touched the pearl and ruby ​​waist chain around Luo Qin's waist and praised, "This goddess costume is so beautiful."

"Of course, this was made by Empress Zhaode back then. I heard it took several months to complete. It must be extremely beautiful." Luo Jiao said.

Luo Rou immediately said: "It's mainly because our Aqin has a good temperament."

Ms. Liu looked at the girl surrounded by the group of girls, carefully examined her from head to toe for a moment, and said to Xia with a smile: "Miss Luo is the most flower-like girl I have ever seen."

It’s not that Cui Xianxian was ugly in previous years, she was just too charming and enchanting. If she played the role of a goddess, she would always lack the temperament. This year, Luo Qin’s elegant and gentle temperament is just right.

"It is an honor for our Aqin and my Luo family to receive such praise from Ms. Liu."

Ms. Liu was a popular figure around Empress Yu. She represented the Empress's face when she went out. A word of praise from her was something many girls would never ask for.

However, today, Ms. Liu has repeatedly praised Luo Qin, and Xia was also proud to hear that.
