The Journey of Immortality of the Peerless Medical Concubine
Chapter 24 Weird Makeup
"Ah Li, you have such great medical skills at such a young age. I am quite curious, who is your master?"
"Medical skills? My brother taught me."
If we talk about the most magical things that Wen Liuli has ever encountered in her life, there are three in total. One is her resurrection from the dead, one is this other world, and the other is her medical skills.
At that time, Wen Gongliang just pointed it at her head casually, and then a lot of knowledge about traditional Chinese medicine appeared in her mind.
I still remember that Wen Gongliang was muttering something about spending 100,000 of his merits, and looking at his expression, he seemed to be heartbroken.
"Oh? Ari has a brother?"
Hearing this, the queen was stunned. This was news.
She was originally very curious about Wen Liuli's family background, but the emperor forbade her to ask, so she had to inquire from other sources.
"Well, Your Majesty, this tea is delicious. Is it specially supplied by the court?"
However, Wen Liuli did not do as she wished and did not intend to continue the topic. Tang Tianyu had once told her not to reveal her family background, fearing that it would be dangerous if someone with ulterior motives knew about it.
The danger mentioned here refers to the murderer who wiped out the Tang clan. If they knew that there were still people alive in the Tang clan, they would definitely not let Wen Liuli go.
Moreover, since it concerns the secret behind Changsheng Gate, the fewer people who know it, the better. If too many people know it, Changsheng Gate might be in trouble, and Wen Gongliang would be in trouble then.
"Haha, this tea was sent by His Majesty. It's Longjing tea specially supplied from the south."
Seeing that Wen Liuli had no intention of saying anything, the queen had to give up. As the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat. After living in the harem for so many years, the queen knew very well what she could know and what she could not know.
If Wen Liuli had said it, it would be fine, but if she didn't, then don't ask any more questions. Asking too much might incur the emperor's wrath.
"Empress! Imperial Concubine is here!"
Just as the two were talking, a palace maid suddenly walked in, bowed to Queen Li, and then spoke slowly.
"Let her in."
Hearing this, the queen frowned slightly, then spoke slowly.
After a while, a woman dressed in seductive palace clothes walked in. When Wen Liuli saw this person, his brows were wrinkled into a "川" shape.
The powder on your face is thicker than the putty on my wall, isn't it? Do you think this can hide your old look?
You look like you're in your forties, but you still put on blush, which makes your face look pale, which is creepy.
This made Wen Liuli think of Lan Xing's funeral attire, which was also the makeup for the dead.
"Your Majesty, I greet the Queen."
"sit down."
The queen's face was filled with disgust upon seeing this, then she waved her hand and spoke to Imperial Concubine Gu.
"Thank you, empress."
Gu nodded when she heard this, and was then helped by the palace maid to sit on the chair opposite Wen Liuli.
Seeing this scene, Wen Liuli couldn't help but twitch his lips. If you don't pretend, will you die? It's just sitting on a bench, why are you making such a fuss?
Can't you sit steadily without someone holding your hand?
"This sister looks unfamiliar, wouldn't you like to introduce her to me?"
"Um... this is Princess Wu."
The queen also felt a chill at this time. Even though she met Gu often, she couldn't stand her affectation. It was so fake that she got goose bumps all over.
Hearing the Queen's words, Concubine Gu couldn't help but be surprised. Then she set her eyes on Wen Liuli and looked around.
This person is pretty, but her dress is too simple, not like what a princess should look like.
Just as she thought, Wen Liuli's dress was indeed very simple. Apart from the clothes that looked expensive, she did not have any jewelry on her body. Even her hair had a bun that could not be simpler.
She looked playful and cute, but in Concubine Gu's eyes she seemed a little shabby.
"I have met the imperial concubine."
Trying to suppress the chill in her heart, Wen Liuli bowed to Concubine Gu.
However, there was little respect in her eyes, because she knew that this man was not a good person.
Although the Queen made her feel a little uncomfortable, she was generally fine and at least didn't make her feel nauseous.
And the Queen's son Tang Tianmo is also doing okay. Although he is not on good terms with Tang Tianyu, he has never been enemies with him, right?
But Concubine Gu is different. Apart from her vulgar attire, her two sons are not good people either.
He was against Tang Tianyu everywhere at the beginning, and even the second prince, Prince of Yan, Tang Tianhou, had forced Tang Tianyu into the Changsheng Sect, where he almost died.
In addition to Tang Tianhou, the third prince, Prince of Qi, Tang Tianqi, is also her son. In short, there is no good person in Concubine Gu's lineage.
"Haha, Princess Wu has a pretty face. No wonder King Wu chose her."
After a while, Concubine Gu started to speak in a sarcastic tone. She knew very well that if her son wanted to ascend to the throne, Tang Tianyu would undoubtedly be the biggest obstacle.
As for Tang Tianmo, without the support of the Queen, he is nothing.
"Your Highness, you are too kind. I think your Highness is also very beautiful."
Wen Liuli raised her eyebrows when she heard this. "Who are you trying to trick here? I've watched more palace fighting dramas than you have."
"puff!"
"puff!"
In the distance, Tang Tianyu and Tang Zongluan, who were playing chess, both chuckled at this moment. They had been paying attention to the developments in Kunning Palace. When they heard that Concubine Gu was coming, both of them frowned slightly.
Even Tang Tianyu wanted to go to Kunning Palace to take Wen Liuli away.
However, when they heard what Wen Liuli said, they both couldn't help laughing out loud.
Can the magic craftsmanship be used in this way?
You know what, what Wen Liuli said really makes sense. I don't know what the emperor was thinking. Why did he fall in love with her? He even made her a concubine.
In fact, Concubine Gu was indeed beautiful, but isn't this due to her age? What women can't stand the most is the torment of time. When they get older, wrinkles and spots will appear on their faces.
That's why Concubine Gu painted her face like that, maybe she thought it could cover up her ugliness. In fact, it's really not flattering, even Tang Zhentian shook his head when he saw it recently.
"This girl is quite interesting."
"Haha, Grandpa Huang hasn't discovered her interestingness yet."
Tang Tianyu smiled when he heard this, then stretched out his hand and a horse jumped out...
"you……"
Hearing Wen Liuli's words, Concubine Gu was immediately furious. What did women hate the most? What they hated the most was being told that they were ugly, especially older women.
Although Wen Liuli didn't say it directly, the implication between the lines made her feel more uncomfortable than if he had just said that she was ugly.
"I'm sorry, Madam Concubine. I was born in the countryside and don't know the rules. I have offended Madam Concubine."
Wen Liuli didn't care about her reaction. I'm just sitting here. If you want to fight with the Queen, go ahead. What am I doing?
"Humph, Princess Wu really should learn some rules."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Gu snorted coldly.
"I will definitely study hard in the future."
"May I ask who painted this costume for you, Your Majesty? I am so envious of you."
"Haha, this outfit is the masterpiece of my personal maid. You, a country girl, do have some taste."
It's rare to hear someone complimenting her makeup, Concubine Gu was immediately overjoyed. You see, there is always someone who understands me.
"Well, Your Majesty, you don't know that in my hometown, this kind of attire is called mourning attire, and is usually painted by undertakers for the dead. Your Majesty is wearing this attire at such a young age, saving decades of detours. I am really envious of you."
"puff……"
Just now the Queen was wondering why Wen Liuli could praise Concubine Gu's makeup.
However, after hearing her words, even the queen, who was usually calm, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea.
Well said!
I almost couldn't hold it back just now, and this time I really couldn't hold it back.
On the other hand, Concubine Gu’s face turned green at this moment. You are really good at talking. Say more.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Your Majesty, I was so outspoken and said something wrong."
"You...you...are fine!"
"What a sharp-tongued person! Humph!"
Even Concubine Gu's heavy makeup couldn't hide her livid face, and she was so angry that she could hardly speak clearly.
"Um... that... why don't you kill the maid who put on your makeup? If His Majesty sees this, he will punish you for disrespect."
Wen Liuli herself felt like laughing at this moment. How could she go out with such a proud look on her face while wearing a dead person's makeup?
Even so, the emperor didn't say anything bad about him. Your Majesty's taste is indeed quite unique.
After being reminded by Wen Liuli, Concubine Gu no longer had time to argue with Wen Liuli. She quickly stood up, said goodbye to the Queen, and went back to remove her makeup.
If what Wen Liuli said was true, it would be really disrespectful. If it angered His Majesty, he would probably be punished.
If the situation is serious, you might even be banished to the cold palace, and then everything would be ruined.
Seeing Concubine Gu running away in disgrace, Wen Liuli was also happy and at peace. It's not your fault that you are ugly, but it's wrong for you to come out and scare people.
"Is what Ahri just said true?"
After Concubine Gu completely disappeared from her sight, the Queen could not help but ask curiously.
Judging from Wen Liuli's expression, she didn't seem to be talking nonsense.
"Your Majesty, are you referring to mourning clothes?"
"nature."
"Of course it's true. In my hometown, in order to let the deceased die peacefully, they usually ask a mortician to make up the deceased to show respect to the deceased and let the deceased die in a dignified manner."
"I am ashamed to say that this is the first time I have seen a living person wearing that kind of costume on his face."
"Forehead……"
Seeing Wen Liuli's harmless look, the Queen couldn't help but twitch her lips. Fortunately, I didn't offend her just now, otherwise who knows what she would say.
Besides, you can't do anything to her. Firstly, she has the support of King Wu, and secondly, because of her mysterious background. Looking around the imperial city, I'm afraid only Concubine Gu, who is so short-sighted, would dare to offend her.
In the following time, Kunning Palace became much quieter, and the Queen also ordered people to bring up some snacks. The two spent the whole afternoon chatting about daily life.
