Chapter 204: 211. Don
211. Don't Believe Her, the Little Bai Tu is Pretending!
"The Empress ordered that although the commoner Wang Lixian is in the red book of the Zongzheng Temple, his young daughter is a direct descendant of the royal clan. Now that she has reached the age, following the custom of the royal clan princesses and county princesses, order the palace painter to draw a portrait and store it in the Zongzheng Temple inner treasury..."
Mistress Miao Zhen did not sell the pass and announced loudly.
The Zongzheng Temple is an agency for the royal clan affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in charge of the clan name list of the emperor's nine clans, and the royal family is the leading model for thousands of households in the world, so the rules of the royal clan are naturally strict and numerous.
At this moment, drawing a portrait of a royal clan direct descendant girl like Su Guoer who is still registered, and storing it in the inner treasury, should also be in line with some cumbersome examples.
But since this is the custom of the royal clan princess and county princess, why wait until Su Guoer is seventeen, long past the age of fifteen, to arrive late?
It can only be said that the regulations are dead, but people are alive.
It is not important whether the rules are executed, what is important is the attitude behind the person who found this rule as an excuse.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by Su Guoer and the blank long scroll in her hand.
Su Guoer lowered her head to look at the blank scroll, shifted her peripheral vision slightly, and as if inspired, met Ouyang Rong's eyes not far away.
The latter seemed to realize she was looking at him and nodded imperceptibly.
Of course, meeting the beauty less often on Luming Street, and her family Wang Lixian, Wei Mei, Su Dalang, etc., who were familiar with her, were all used to it.
"The great princess doesn't need to draw makeup and eyebrows, the Empress wants to see the real appearance of the great princess."
"Well done, Boss Li. Let's go, go watch the play. Good plays are coming. They say enemies are narrow, let's see if our Sister Mistress Miao Zhen will do some things outside the topic, which will save us from doing it ourselves, killing two birds with one stone."
By the window, Ouyang Rong, who had been lowering his head to pay attention to the movement below, suddenly pointed to a figure on the street below and asked. Of course, Mistress Miao Zhen certainly couldn't say those things involving the Empress, just thinking about it in her heart.
Even faster than Mistress Miao Zhen and others, they arrived at Su Guoer.
"He is Ouyang Lianghan, Longcheng County Magistrate... The Liu family was tossed by him, and the public trial of the whole county swept away his prestige among the people."
"What does this mean?"
The old painter took a deep breath, focused, serious, and traced and painted. The veil slid down along the cheek curve like milk.
"Great princess, please take off the veil."
"The adult understands." Boss Li lowered his head.
"Grace is vast, sinner Wang Lixian is terrified, remorseful, long live the Empress, long live, long live."
In the open space of the courtyard, a Persian merchant who had secretly bought this house early in the morning smiled like a flower and greeted him warmly.
It is not known that a "new family" moved into Su Guoer today. He smiled and walked to the high building with Qiu Yi.
Boss Li couldn't help but say: "Third Su Su Xiaolang's meaning, the family below still has a chance?" At this moment, the Su residence gate was strangely noisy.
Looking at the Mistress Miao Zhen group passing by the street below, not long after, after watching for a while, Ouyang Rong turned his head and said:
"The attitude of the Empress toward the Yingzhou chaos has changed." Qiu Yi said coldly.
Qiu Yi said suddenly: "So we must get the Ding sword. With this object, the Wei family can greatly increase the chance of a comeback. The current situation is very bad for the Wei family. The Empress may have to make a decision, but once this sword is born, it is not only a great auspicious sign, but also can offset the impact of the death of the Wang Lixian family."
The noon time had just passed, and the Su Guoer, which had become lively because of the sudden visit of the Luoyang envoys, was up and down.
She raised her head and looked forward, misunderstanding: "Can't even draw the plum blossom makeup on the forehead? Then I will wash it off."
Gui Xinwan sighed slightly.
Just after getting off the small boat at Peng Lang Ferry, the two people who were like master and apprentice left the palace team and went straight to Su Guoer.
The Su residence, which was usually closed, was wide open today.
Boss Li was stunned, and said worriedly:
Not only them, but Mistress Miao Zhen and other Luoyang palace people who came to Longcheng for the first time today were all staring, attracted by this plain face.
"Third Su Su Xiaolang, Qiu-Mr.... How about this house? Anyway, it's close to that family, just opposite."
With the curious and quiet onlookers of the people of Longcheng, Zongzheng Temple turned and lowered his eyebrows, facing north, kneeling and saluting:
A young man with peach blossom eyes dressed in purple soap clothes and strong attire, and a man with short-sleeved linen clothes, braids on both temples, and a long wooden box on his back.
This place is really good.
Moth eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, fairy-like appearance.
Plain face, but far better than a new bride with makeup.
Also didn't look at the Longcheng County government office that was guarding the order, Ouyang Rong and Qiu Yi passed by without looking sideways.
"It seems that the Empress's attitude toward the Yingzhou chaos has changed." Palace people looked sideways from time to time, attracted by the plum blossom makeup on her forehead.
"Plain face today."
It was just mentioned by people below, slightly interested, took a look, and sent someone to copy and draw, which was a great gift.
"Alright, draw as soon as possible."
Gui Xinwan sighed slightly.
"One look to overturn the city, another look to overturn the country, the ancients really didn't deceive me." The old painter sighed, stroking his white beard.
The Longcheng County government office, which was curious and quiet, was attracted by the girl's appearance and temperament. I couldn't help but look at the well-behaved young girl sitting on the embroidered stool, and my eyelids twitched, feeling speechless in my heart.
Su residence gate, the posture was set up quickly.
An old palace painter walked up, and the white-skirted palace women around him served plates and brushes. Zongzheng Temple nodded, without smiling throughout.
Came to the top of the high building and opened the window slightly.
"So this time, I must complete the task assigned by my father." "Thanks to the Empress's grace, Guo'er and the whole family are all grateful for the Empress's virtue, willing to turn over a new leaf and be subjects."
It is not known that this portrait of the great princess with plum blossom makeup was sent back to the Luoyang palace at a fast horse speed, and it spread in the Luoyang palace, and was sought after by noble women and palace people. The three palaces competed to imitate it, making this plum blossom makeup a palace daily makeup that swept the Forbidden City, and even spread to the folk later, becoming a fashion makeup that folk women, official ladies, and singing girls competed to imitate...
Ouyang Rong smiled: "Maybe, maybe not, but we came this time, and it's definitely gone."
"But will our move be..."
Wang Lixian followed, holding the jade with both hands, kneeling toward the north, grateful and weeping, raising his sleeves to wipe his eyes: Just suddenly thought that the identity exposed by the Su residence made him feel a bit silent.

"It seems to be a deep crimson color."
Mistress Miao Zhen, who was seeing Su Guoer for the first time, seemed to be a bit surprised by this appearance and temperament, couldn't help but look at it a few more times, the coldness in her voice lessened, and said:
The old painter touched his long white beard and said to Zongzheng Temple, who was sitting on the embroidered stool like a lady:
"But it's hard to wipe the butt, what if the palace alchemist finds clues?"
"What does it have to do with us? Imagine, one day, Longcheng suddenly has a monstrous vision, the Ding sword is born, the whole city is in chaos, Wang Lixian's family died at the hands of chaotic people and thieves, in a remote place, money was targeted by bad people, killing people to silence the witness, is it not a normal thing?"
"Ah... no, no." The old painter was stunned, hurriedly waved his left hand, and accidentally splashed the ink on the brush onto the white skirt of the palace woman next to him, ink drops dotted.
"Who is this?"
"It really looks like the Empress." Mistress Miao Zhen nodded gently.
"This is the gift from the Empress. The Empress heard from Princess Changle that the great granddaughter far away in Longcheng has grown up, and her appearance is very similar to her when she was young, and there is a strange new makeup of plum blossoms on her forehead. The Empress wants to take a look."
Painting on the spot.
The old painter and Mistress Miao Zhen and other palace people didn't know that this portrait of the great princess with plum blossom makeup was sent back to the Luoyang palace at a fast horse speed, and it spread in the Luoyang palace, and was sought after by noble women and palace people.

Wang Lixian followed, holding the jade with both hands, kneeling toward the north, grateful and weeping, raising his sleeves to wipe his eyes: Just suddenly thought that the identity exposed by the Su residence made him feel a bit silent.
Boss Li was stunned and followed.
The latter looked straight, silently watching the Wang Lixian family, and didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't look at Luming Street again.
Some palace people were attracted by the plum blossom makeup on her forehead and whispered.
As if attracted by everyone's attention, it was a bit unreal. Zongzheng Temple lowered her autumn eyes and frowned slightly: Thunder and rain, all are imperial grace.
Ouyang Rong's voice was faint.
The old painter stopped collecting the pen, looked around apologetically, but found that the palace people around were motionless,
staring at Zongzheng Temple who took off the veil and lowered her eyebrows, for a time, no one found that their bodies were splashed with ink.
Even in terms of beauty, it was not inferior, after all, Zongzheng Temple was twelve or thirteen years old, and she was tender and dripping, youthful and beautiful.
Mistress Miao Zhen, seeing Su Guoer for the first time, seemed to be a bit surprised by this appearance and temperament, couldn't help but look at it a few more times, the coldness in her voice lessened, and said:
"Hey, don't be fooled by her appearance, this is not a gentle little white rabbit, it's all a fake appearance of being well-behaved. You haven't seen her private appearance, what bold words she dares to say, her inner nature is sharper and more fierce than a man..."
Su Dalang saw the treatment of his sister and couldn't help but sigh... This grandmother he had never met was partial to girls and treated them differently.
Boss Li looked at it and couldn't help but smile bitterly:
The old painter stopped the brush in mid-air and said in a daze:
Ouyang Rong looked left and right, caught a glimpse of a high building in the back house that was higher than the wall, he passed the Persian merchant directly and dropped a sentence:
This woman is not
