The general went out again at night + extra episode

"Madam Qi mostly makes portraits for officials and eunuchs in the court. If the general wants to, Madam Qi will be extremely happy."

Xia Qingshu thought for a while, and felt that what he was considering was lacking. He suddenly shook his head and said regretfully, "No, no, let's let this matter go, don't bring it up."

"Yes." Liu Qi didn't say much, he just followed Xia Qingshu's order.

Sitting in the hall for a while, Xia Qingshu was very bored, so she got up and walked to the study.Her confidant Liu Yan brought a pot of hot tea, made her a cup of tea and put it beside the table.

Holding the cup in Xia Qingshu's hand, suddenly the image of being on the horse today flashed through his mind, the little girl clutching her scar and asking her if it hurts.

Xia Qingshu stretched out his hand to touch the scar on his right cheek, his brows furrowed involuntarily as he was preoccupied.

Seeing this, Liu Yan who was waiting at the side asked aloud, "Is there something bothering you, General?"

Xia Qingshu ignored this question, and instead asked the other side: "Liu Yan, who will His Majesty invite for the banquet in the palace tomorrow?"

"There are concubines in the harem, royal relatives and nobles, and all civil and military officials."

"The eldest princess will come too?"

"That's inevitable. At your reception banquet, which time did Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess not come?" Liu Yan raised her head and cast a ambiguous glance at Xia Qingshu.

Xia Qingshu secretly thought about her own thoughts, but didn't notice.She was dazed for a while, her heart became more irritable, and she suddenly said excitedly: "Liu Yan, do you see that the scar on my face is obvious?"

Liu Yan was taken aback, she didn't expect Xia Qingshu to ask her this question, she was at a loss for words for a moment: "This..." She has followed Xia Qingshu for so many years, swords, swords, wars and flames. Adults care so much about their looks.

Seeing Liu Yan hesitated, Xia Qing said anxiously: "What is this, I want to tell the truth, hurry up."

"obvious!"

Xia Qingshu's expression suddenly became unhappy: "Then...is it ugly?"

Liu Yan snorted and smiled unkindly.

Xia Qingshu stared at her.

Liu Yan said truthfully: "This subordinate really didn't expect the general to care so much about his appearance."

Xia Qingshu was so angry that his teeth were itching: "It's all to blame for those nasty tartars. Next time you dare to shoot cold arrows at this general's face, this general will definitely chase them to the ends of the earth and kill them all!"

After Xia Qingshu let out her anger, she changed the topic: "But now what should I do with the scar on the general's face?"

"Why don't you find some aloe vera for you? The folks say that aloe vera has the effect of removing scars and freckles."

Xia Qingshu was overjoyed: "Go, go, go and get some aloe for this general, the more the better!"

Chapter 2 Rouge Bad Things

Early the next morning, Xia Qingshu hugged the mirror and did not let go, looking over and over at the scar on her right cheek.Seeing that it was no different from yesterday's, Xia Qingshu was very dissatisfied and said, "Liu Yan, the method you said doesn't work. I applied it for two full hours last night, and the scar hasn't even disappeared."

Liu Yan replied: "General, no matter how good aloe vera is, it's not a magic medicine. How can it be cured overnight? The general can't be impatient."

Xia Qingshu touched the scar on his face that had been sorted out by the WeChat public account Baihe Novel Club and sighed: "But the general sees that this scar is really an eyesore, do you have any other solutions? It's best to make it disappear before the banquet."

"Other ways? Let your subordinates think about it." Liu Yan lowered her head in thought, and then suddenly raised her head after a long time.

Xia Qingshu met her eyes: "What's the best way?"

Liu Yan said: "Why don't you put some rouge on the general to cover up the blemishes."

"Rouge?" Xia Qingshu's unblinking face showed a bit of twitching: "Although this general is a woman, I haven't used this thing in the past twenty years, I'm afraid it's..."

"It's just a layer of makeup, the general doesn't have to be afraid. I'm afraid this is the only way now."

Xia Qingshu hesitated for a while, then lowered his head with difficulty.

***

The banquet was held in Qianqing Palace, there was nothing wrong in the mansion, Xia Qingshu and his generals entered the palace early.

I am used to rough people, but now I have painted thick rouge and put on light jackets and skirts, I am really not used to it.

Not only Xia Qingshu, but the ministers she met on the way into the palace were also very uncomfortable, and they all cast surprised glances.

"General Xia's new attire really looks like a flower."

"Master Sun's praise and praise." Xia Qingshu sneered, hurriedly bowed her hands, and then quickly found an excuse to stay away from this group of eloquent civil servants.

Xia Qingshu regretted it, she shouldn't have adopted Liu Yan's clumsy suggestion, now she has no face to face anyone.

Xia Qingshu lowered his head, covered his face with his hands, and walked faster and faster on the palace road.

Suddenly, a skirt embroidered with lotus flowers appeared in her line of sight. Xia Qingshu realized that there was someone in front of her, and quickly stopped her steps.

Xia Qingshu knows who loves lotus the most in the capital.It's just that there is still a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that the person she meets is not that person.

A sharp voice came from next to his ear, which completely shattered Xia Qingshu's fantasy: "Who is so bold? Dare to run into Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"

Oops, Xia Qingshu wailed in her heart: With such a ghostly appearance, the last thing I want to see is someone, but I happen to meet this person.

The eunuch's angry reprimand failed to make Xia Qingshu let go of his hands covering his face. Ji Qianyao crossed his arms, his face brightened, and he said with a smile on his face: "General Xia is so arrogant when he wins a battle. Is this palace also going to salute?"
