My eunuch An is a yandere
Chapter 16 The Truth About the Breasts
Early in the morning, Bai Ningwei dressed neatly and headed for Fengyi Palace. The Queen had been mocked by the Queen Mother yesterday, so she was afraid it would be difficult for her to pay her respects today.
She entered Fengyi Palace with trepidation in her heart. The shrewd concubine avoided her gaze intentionally or unintentionally when she met her gaze today.
But there were also some ignorant concubines who tried to come up and compliment her.
"Sister Hui is worthy of the title bestowed by His Majesty. Of all the sisters in our group, you're the only one to have received the Empress Dowager's award. Hey, why didn't you bring that butterfly hairpin with you today?"
Bai Ningwei felt a headache when she saw Wang Baolin, who was like a little white lotus in front of her. She wanted to make him shut up.
Everyone knows that the Queen was also rewarded yesterday and was humiliated by the Queen Mother.
How foolish is Wang Baolin to have to bring this up today? Even if you want to flatter the Queen, you have to think about whether the Queen would be willing to have this matter mentioned today.
Even if the Queen wanted to attack me today, she would never use this incident as an excuse.
It's possible she had some hidden agenda regarding the winter clothing issue; after all, everyone in the palace knew the Queen had racked her brains over it. But the Queen Mother's reward was purely a way for the mother-in-law to dislike her daughter-in-law.
If the Queen made things difficult for her because of this, it would be a clear statement that the Queen Mother, as her mother-in-law, was wrong.
Wang Baolin acted foolishly, but Bai Ningwei would not fall for it. She spoke nonchalantly with the airs of a superior.
"I've never seen the world. I wouldn't dare wear the hairpin the Empress Dowager gave me. I wish I could set it up on an altar to display it."
No one could find fault with this statement, and since they were unable to see a good show, the atmosphere among everyone became a little awkward.
In the inner chamber, the Empress massaged her temples, feeling a bit dizzy. She'd drunk the decoction prepared by Imperial Doctor Zhang the previous night, and she didn't know if it was her own feelings or the medicine, but after taking it, she'd been experiencing a severe tinnitus, which had prevented her from sleeping well all night.
First she broke down crying, then she couldn't sleep all night. This morning she looked much worse.
At this time, Nanny Qin came to report.
"Your Majesty, everyone from the palace has arrived, and you haven't told me what reward you want to give to Lady Hui."
When the Queen heard Nanny Qin mention Bai Ningwei, she found an outlet to vent her anger.
"Reward her? If it weren't for her, would I have received such a large reward and become a laughing stock in the palace?"
Yesterday, she was so consumed with grief that she forgot that if Bai Ningwei hadn't suggested using gold powder as paint, she would have been subjected to the same sarcasm and sarcasm from the Empress Dowager as in previous years. It would have been better not to reward this pomegranate bat.
Nanny Qin waved away the other palace maids and stroked the queen's back to persuade her.
"Your Majesty has already taken the medicine, and she will soon feel heavier. Now is the time to win people's hearts."
After that, he told the story about the quarrel between Bai Ningwei and Wang Baolin.
"She truly knows when to advance and when to retreat, and she doesn't offend anyone on either side. In that case, find my pink and jade pearl necklace and give it to her as a reward."
Nanny Qin was stunned for a moment. This pink tourmaline and pearl necklace was the dowry that the Empress brought into the palace when she got married. It was her favorite jewelry when she was in the boudoir.
Just like that, Bai Ningwei returned to Lingqi Palace with Yingluo, despite everyone's puzzled gazes.
Looking at the things on the table, Bai Ningwei was also puzzled. So why was this happening? Although the Queen was not a petty person, she could never tolerate anyone suppressing her.
This time, not only did he not bully her, he even rewarded her, which gave her a bad feeling.
As the saying goes, no reward without merit, the current troubles were inexplicably resolved. But this reward also reminded her that this matter is not over yet.
But this necklace is really beautiful.
Should she get a life-size bra specifically for displaying these beautiful jewelries?
Bai Ningwei couldn't figure out the reason, but her men had already unconsciously drawn a bra specifically for displaying the necklace.
"Master, what is this that you are drawing?"
Seeing Bai Ningwei holding up the drawing paper, Gualü and Caihe came over to take a look at it curiously.
"This is a breast plate."
"Brother?"
Seeing that she couldn't convince the two of them, Bai Ningwei raised her hand and gestured at her neck and collarbone.
“It’s this part of our body.”
Gualv and Caihe compared their words several times before realizing what was going on. Both of them looked very strange. Caihe had just arrived, so she naturally didn't dare to speak, but Gualv was much more direct.
"Master, why did you draw such a thing? It's unlucky."
"Huh? Why is it unlucky?"
Now it was Bai Ningwei's turn to not understand.
"No one draws like this. Master, is there any use for you drawing this?"
"I want to make a mold based on this so I can hang my jewelry on it and appreciate it. Isn't that a good idea?"
He shook his head, his expression indescribable.
"Master, this idea is a bit scary. If someone who doesn't know what's going on sees this after the lights are turned on, they'll be scared out of their wits."
If the emperor gets scared in the future, we'll all be in trouble.
Bai Ningwei wasn't a conceited person, so after hearing what Gualv said, she naturally gave up the idea of making a bra. But she suddenly remembered the half-length portrait she had painted for the empress dowager in her previous life.
"Gualv, what if I painted a portrait of someone from head to chest, and that portrait was very realistic, just like looking in a bronze mirror? Do you think they would like it?"
This time, not only Gualü shook his head, but Caihe and the other two palace maids also shook their heads vigorously.
"Master, please don't draw like that. Only wanted criminals draw only their heads. Decent people draw full-body portraits."
This sentence was truly an epiphany. Bai Ningwei immediately understood why her paintings in her previous life, although they had opened up a new school of painting, failed to catch the Empress Dowager's eye.
But why didn't this stinky girl mention these things in her previous life? Instead, she kept praising her own paintings, saying they were peerless masterpieces.
Gua Lu, who had received the master's deep resentment, was puzzled. She could never imagine herself in her previous life, because she had never seen the empress dowager before, and the portrait her master had drawn had neither clothing nor headwear that could reflect her status. (The female master's skills were limited, she could only draw heads.) She had no idea that the person in the painting was the noble empress dowager.
In her previous life, Bai Ningwei thought she had already told Gualü who the painting was about.
Gualü thought his master was painting an unfinished portrait of an old immortal lady, while Bai Ningwei thought she could move the capital with just one painting. However, both of them misjudged the painting and ended up presenting it without a clear purpose.
Now that I think about it, the Queen Mother must have had a liking for her, otherwise why would she have let her go without even a little punishment afterwards?
So, no matter how difficult a person is to get along with, if you use the right method, you can still find some way to get along with him.
Bai Ningwei was just thinking about the Empress Dowager when the head maid from the Empress Dowager's palace came to convey the summons.
It turned out that the Queen Mother wanted her to teach and demonstrate how to do the Youth Exercises.
This Youth Exercise is the new name she gave to the ninth set of radio gymnastics.
