Chapter 167 Full Support
Huang Yuejiao knows more about Hyman. She knows that she won't help herself if she doesn't make things clear.
"To be honest, I have been in the palace for so many days that I have only met the emperor during the selection of actresses, and I don't even remember what he looks like. There are so many women in the harem that the emperor can't even remember me. I don't expect the emperor to suddenly come to my palace.
I don't want to stare at the road to the front hall every day like other concubines. When I see the emperor coming, I pretend to go out inadvertently, hoping to attract the emperor's attention. That's too humiliating and naive. Even if I do that, if I can attract the attention of the emperor, I will be laughed at by the woman Bian Yuzhen.
After thinking about it, there is only one way to grab the emperor, that is, on the third day of next month!"
Hyman heard a little clue, "What's the important day on the third day of next month?"
"Well, it's the birthday of the Empress Dowager!"
So, since it is the birthday of the Empress Dowager, there will definitely be a big banquet, and the emperor will also appear 100%. It is a rare opportunity for those concubines who guard the empty room and can't see the emperor all year round. Those lonely women will definitely do their best to win the emperor's blue eyes.
Huang Yuejiao doesn't want to miss this opportunity, so she wants to win in clothes.
"I've seen the clothes you drew. They are so beautiful that people don't want to look away. If I put on the clothes you made for me, I will definitely impress the emperor, and the emperor will come to my pavilion!" She looked at Hyman expectantly.
Hyman pondered for a long time and looked at her seriously, "Yuejiao, it's not that I don't understand your mood. I must be very angry and unwilling to be bullied by Bian Yuzhen. It's reasonable to want to get back the lost face. But have you really figured it out? The most taboo in the palace is to attract trees..."
"I know what you want to say, but I don't want to do it all because Bian Yuzhen humiliated me..." Huang Yuejiao lowered her eyes and her expression looked a little lonely. "Before entering the palace, I thought very simple, as long as I could eat and wear warm clothes. But after entering the palace, I found that sometimes it was not enough to eat and wear warmth, and my heart was always empty...
Anyway, I'm a married husband now. Wouldn't it be too unfair if I went on like this and didn't even see my husband before I died?
I also know that my husband is not an ordinary person, but today's emperor. He will not live with me. I don't expect to see him every day. As long as I can meet him from time to time, I will be satisfied and married for nothing..."
Hyman looked at her expression and was a little stunned. He always thought that she was a cheerful and optimistic girl and would not think about so many things. Yes, as long as it is a woman, she will always feel lonely, not to mention a woman who has married and can't see her husband, that loneliness is beyond words, right?
In her mood, she doesn't want Huang Yuejiao to show any limelight in the palace, but now that I think about it, this idea is a little too self-centered. After all, this is Huang Yuejiao's choice. Now that she has become a concubine, she must live according to the rules of the palace. Whether it is the end of enjoying favor or being neglected, it is the result that should be endured.
She has no ability to change this era and has no right to interfere with other people's choices. Since her good friend wants to gamble, all she can do is do her best to help.
"I know, I will help you design a beautiful suit!" She pressed Huang Yuejiao's arm with a smile, "The third day of next month will definitely make you more dazzling than anyone else, and let the emperor fall in love with you at first sight!"
"Thank you!" Huang Yuejiao saw that she promised so freely, her expression suddenly relaxed and her eyes were shining, "I really want to put on the clothes you made for me quickly. I don't know what I will look like?"
Seeing that she was so happy, Hyman was in a much better mood, but he remembered another question, "Design drawings, tailoring and sewing are not a problem for me. The most important thing is the cloth..."
"Fabric? I have it." Huang Yuejiao said and ran to open the door, "Xiao Ju, go and bring all the cloths, hurry up!" After the order, without waiting for Hyman to ask, he told her, "When I first moved into this pavilion, the emperor, the Empress Dowager and the Empress have given rewards, including jewelry, utensils, and a lot of cloth. They all look good materials. The clothes must be very beautiful! By the way, would you like to see my jewelry? I heard that the Empress ordered the Shangfu Bureau to make a set of jewelry for every new concubine who entered the palace. It was the first time I saw so much real gold and silver jewelry..."
Haiman saw her move a box, which contained a lot of golden jewelry, which was very exquisite in style. While accompanying Huang Yuejiao, she silently wrote it down for reference when designing clothes.
"Is there anything you like?" Huang Yuejiao stuffed the box to her, "Take which one you like, and I'll give it to you!"
Although Hyman also likes jewelry, he still doesn't like things that are too dazzling and gorgeous. He smiled and said, "I'm a rough maid of honor. I don't need these things. You'd better keep them!"
Huang Yuejiao's expression darkened, "Yes, you are now a rough maid of honor... By the way, why don't I tell my father-in-law of the inner palace and let you come here to be a palace man, so that we can get along with each other day and night like before..."
Heiman gave her an angry look, "You, have you forgotten why I lost the election?"
"Yes, I forgot it when I was excited for a moment. It's not easy for you to avoid here, how can you throw yourself into the trap?" Huang Yuejiao sighed in frustration and remembered Lin Ziqin, "I heard that you and Xue Ning are washing the room. Is she okay?"
"I was very unhappy at first. In recent days, I seemed to be thinking about it. It's not as dull as before. I will slowly untie her. Don't worry!"
Huang Yuejiao looked at Haiman's expression, "I wanted to ask before, why didn't you let Xue Ning be a concubine? Although she also said before that she didn't want to be a concubine, she behaved strangely on the day of the selection of the show girl, as if she wanted to be selected. Did you also expect that she would change her mind on the spot, so you deliberately told Bian Yuzhen to stand up and expose Xue Ning so that Xue Ning could lose the election? What the hell are you two doing?"
"I didn't believe you, so I didn't tell you. It's just that this matter is good for you, only bad for you. Just know that I'm doing that to help her!"
Huang Yuejiao didn't ask any more when she heard what she said. Anyway, she wouldn't say anything if she asked Haiman again.
At this time, Xiaoju brought people to move the cloth and put them all on the table. Hyman looked at it carefully. They are all good fabrics with rich colors and good texture. It seems that the materials are not a problem.
It's just that she has never made a formal palace costume and is in a slightly different mood. After all, there are many taboos in the palace, and there are many things to pay attention to.
She carefully measured the size of Huang Yuejiao, asked her preferences, and found Xiaoju and other palace people. She asked about the rules of the palace, the hidden rules of the decoration of the concubines of each grade, the taboos in the palace, and so on. She asked in detail one by one, wrote them down on the paper, and recorded several pieces of paper.
Huang Yuejiao wants to shine at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. How could she think of so much? For example, the Empress Dowager doesn't like rabbits, the Empress is most afraid of snakes, and Qin Guifei hates others wearing the same color clothes as herself. Hearing Haiman ask so many questions, he shouted in his heart that he was in danger. If he recklessly wore a dress to the birthday party, swept away the Empress Dowager's interest, or offended anyone, I was afraid that he would not know how he would die in the end. Fortunately, she knows Hyman!
"I will try to draw the picture as soon as possible. You can ask Xiaoju to come and pick it up. If you are satisfied with it, send the cloth to the raccoon room, and I will make it for you before next month."
"Don't bother me so much. I will wear whatever clothes you make for me. As long as you make them, I will be very satisfied. If you draw a picture and what kind of fabric you want, just ask someone to send it to you, and I'll ask Xiaoju to send it to you.
Hyman nodded, "That's good. It's not convenient for me to come to you or your people to come to me."
"Yes, it's so troublesome to meet. It feels a little sneaky. When I'm majestic, I can invite you to have tea and chat at any time. No one dares to say anything!"
Haiman couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "You'd better take good care of your injury before you are majestic." No matter how beautiful the clothes I make, it's useless for you, a dressed person, to look broken, isn't it?"
"It's okay. This minor injury will heal soon. Besides, the medicine used in the palace is the best and will not leave scars or anything."
"Well, that's good. I've been out for too long. It's time to go back, otherwise it's time for my aunt to curse."
Huang Yuejiao hugged her reluctantly, "Then come and see me when you are free, and I will visit you when I am free..."
"You are the mother now. You can't go to a place like a raccoon washing room, or should I take time to see you!" Hyman shook her hand and said, "Don't be too angry. Sometimes just be patient or hide a little. There is no need to conflict with people head-on. In the end, it's you who will suffer."
"Well, I know!" After listening to these instructions, Huang Yuejiao's nose was sore. She wanted to keep her for a while, but she didn't think it was appropriate. She waved to her with a forced smile, "Then go back quickly. I'll ask Xiaoju to give you a while!"
Hyman smiled at her and followed Xiao Ju out of the door.
"Miss Xia, you should know the road ahead, so I won't see you off. I'll go back first!" Xiaoju stopped and said with some embarrassment, "If it's too late to go back, the management association will be angry!"
"It's okay. Go back and I can go by myself!" Hyman smiled and saw that Xiaoju walked away quickly. He took a deep breath and walked to the raccoon room.
I turned around an alley and suddenly saw two people coming this way...
