Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 414 Mrs. Gu Discovers the Secret

The makeup lady's name was "Li Cairong". She bowed her head and said, "Your Highness, this is the first time I have put on makeup for you. I just wanted to take a look at your skin and... the angle of your crooked nose so that it can be adjusted."

"Afterwards, the women will use specially prepared soft wax and powder to put on your makeup. Even if the weather is hot, you won't have to worry about your makeup getting smudged."

Concubine De nodded and said with satisfaction: "Do your best for me, and I will not be without your benefits!"

Li Cairong immediately patted her chest and said, "Your Majesty also knows that I used to travel around the country with a circus troupe."

"I'm not bragging. As long as two people have similar facial shapes, I can use this disguise technique to completely change one person into another person! In a short period of time, there will be no flaws at all. People from all over the world who have seen it all say it's magical!"

"As long as I put makeup on you every day, I guarantee that your nose will look like a normal person's!"

Concubine De is in a good mood!

In this way, as long as she stayed indoors in Chengqian Palace for a period of time and then appeared in public, she could say that her nose had fully recovered.

Her appearance was not damaged at all, so she could naturally compete for the position of queen, and she would not cause the third prince to be ridiculed.

However... De Fei carefully savored what Li Cairong had just said, her eyes turning darker: "...You mean, you can also turn a person into another person?"

For some reason, looking at Concubine De's expression, Li Cairong suddenly felt a little scared: "This... maybe it's possible, but as I said just now, the premise is that the two people's faces and body shapes must be similar. Otherwise, I'm not a fairy, how can I have the ability to bring people back to life..."

"Besides, this disguise technique can't be maintained for too long. It's just a skill that you can use to make a living in the circus..."

No matter what Concubine De is thinking, it is not suitable to cause trouble in the near future.

She waved her hand and said, "Qingdai, take Li away and teach her the rules of the palace in the next few days."

"Yes!"

Defei was very happy that the problem of her crooked nose was solved, but when she saw the pile of rice paper on the table, she couldn't smile anymore.

His Majesty actually punished her by asking her to copy "The Virtues of a Woman" a thousand times and give it to Concubine Liang. How long does it take her to finish copying?

Concubine De could only frown and ask the literate palace maids in Chengqian Palace to copy her handwriting.

Han was among them.

She had been doing a good job as a concubine. If Concubine De hadn't pushed her out as a scapegoat, how could she have ended up like this?

Han's hatred for Concubine De had long surpassed Shen Zhinian's!

However, even if she wanted to take revenge now, she didn't have the ability, so she had to lie in wait for the opportunity.

……

Gu Mansion.

Finally, when Gu Jinxiao came back from court, Madam Gu hurriedly stopped him and asked suspiciously, "I heard from the housekeeper that you took the old mountain ginseng that Taizu gave you from the storehouse?"

Gu Jinxiao nodded slightly: "Yes."

The doubt in Madam Gu's eyes became even stronger: "That's an old mountain ginseng that has grown for hundreds of years. It can save lives. Where did you take it?"

Gu Jinxiao would never lie given his personality: "...I gave it to someone else."

Madam Gu was born into a military family. She didn't follow as many rules as the daughters of civil officials, and she developed a lively personality since she was a child. When she heard what Gu Jinxiao said, she almost jumped up in shock!

"Give it away?!"

"That was bestowed by our great ancestor, it's the most precious of all treasures! For so many generations in the Gu family, no one was willing to use it! You prodigal son, how dare you give it away without a word?!

"Who did you give it to?!"

Gu Jinxiao did not answer, but said: "My son has asked someone to make up for the loss from his own warehouse."

Madam Gu was so angry that she held her forehead and said, "You are valued by His Majesty, so is it a big deal if you are rewarded a lot?"

"I'm asking you, who did you give that old mountain ginseng to? You have to let me know who got one of our Gu family's heirlooms, right?"

Gu Jinxiao remained silent.

Seeing his expression, Mrs. Gu was suddenly stunned.

She knew her son's character. If he was giving it to a friend, he should just say it directly. Why should he keep silent about it?

An unbelievable thought popped up in Mrs. Gu's mind: "No, no, it couldn't be given to some girl?!"

Gu Jinxiao's face was as green as a pine tree, but her ears were slightly red. "Mother, don't talk nonsense. It's not what you think."

Seeing him like this, what else could Mrs. Gu not understand?

The unhappiness in her heart was swept away, and she clapped her hands and smiled, "Good! Good! Well done!"

"In our storeroom, is there anything else that girl... no, is there anything else that you like? Just give it away! It doesn't matter if you give it all away!"

The sun is coming out in the west!

The iron tree is blooming!

Her unintelligent son actually learned how to give gifts to girls, and each time he gave a gift he gave such a valuable one.

If this goes on, will she still worry about not being able to find a daughter-in-law?

Mrs. Gu asked with a smile: "Son, tell me, who is this girl from?"

"Oh my, the capable ice men in the capital are all very busy. Should I make an appointment with them in advance?"

Gu Jinxiao sighed deeply: "Mother, it's really not what you think!"

Madam Gu said with an "I understand" look: "Okay, okay, I won't interfere in your affairs as young people. I'll go find your father and share this good news!"

Gu Jinxiao: “…”

……

Zhongcui Palace.

Yuanbao and Xiao Mingzi, carrying the things newly sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, were joking in front of Shen Zhinian.

"My lady, the soap we usually use is gray and doesn't smell this good. I heard this soap is called 'fragrant soap' and it not only has a stronger cleaning ability but also smells better."

Handan picked it up and smelled it: "It is indeed very fragrant..."

Yuan Bao pointed at another object and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, although there are glazed tiles and glazed cups in the palace, none of them are as transparent as this 'glass cup'."

"Especially in the hot weather now, pour the squeezed winter melon juice in it, it will be bright red and look beautiful!"

"and this……"

After Yuanbao finished introducing, Xiao Mingzi followed up, "Madam, I heard that these things are not only used by the masters in the palace, but also sell very well in the imperial merchants!"

"As soon as it came out, it was very popular among dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and gentry!"

"I also heard a piece of gossip... After the production volume increases, the imperial merchants are planning to lower the price and sell it to the public. This has been approved by your majesty."

"In the long run, this will be a considerable income for the national treasury!"

"It is said that these novelties... were all made by the guy from Yawenyuan."

Fuqiu suddenly realized: "No wonder the entire Zhenguo Mansion was executed, but His Majesty still spared Jiang's life. She is really capable..."
