Oh, leave me alone

Chapter 74

"Okay," Lin Lin smeared Yan Mo's face for a while, then put a mirror in front of Yan Mo and asked for credit, "How about it, it looks good, I said that my skills are very good."

Yan Mo looked at the strange face in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction. The rouge and gouache are really perfect, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like yourself, "Well, not bad, but why do I still feel that this Does the face look familiar?"

"Familiar?" Lin Lin stared, "Impossible, my makeup is unique, who do I look like?"

Yan Mo looked up at Lin Lin, only to realize that his face was surprisingly similar to his face after makeup, and handed the mirror in his hand to Lin Lin, "Look for yourself."

Lin Lin looked in the mirror and then at Yan Mo, "Hey, I didn't expect that we really look alike. People who don't know think we are brothers."

"Forget it," Yan Mo didn't mind, anyway, as long as his request is different from the original one, "Let's go, if we don't go, we probably won't be able to catch up."

Running all the way to the outside of the imperial city, Yan Mo felt that he was too embarrassed to meet people with such a face on his face. Seeing that there was already a long queue, and he couldn't see the situation ahead at all, Yan Mo and Lin Lin had to stand In the end, I don't know when to wait.

Lin Lin kept pulling Yan Mo to talk, but was ignored by Yan Mo. He was idle and bored looking around at the people, and found that many men had thick makeup on their faces, and everyone had the same pale face. , bright red lips, and gorgeous clothes, all of which have long covered their original appearance, and at first glance they look like the same person.

Well, he now sees that everyone looks like him, and now that everyone has grown up like this, Yan Mo's original worries disappeared immediately.

There were two rows of officers and soldiers standing in front of them, trying their best to maintain order. After all, there were so many people together that it was easy to cause chaos. Nearly a hundred people would be called in at a time, and then Qingxiao would choose from them.

With a handsome appearance and outstanding temperament, Qingxiao couldn't help but smile. This kind of standard is indeed used to select concubines, but there are so many people who come, and they are uneven. Qingxiao's eyes glanced casually. The best people can be identified at a glance. Although the national teacher's requirements are extremely high, there are so many people from all over the country, and there are still many excellent people among them.

Seeing the continuous noise from the audience, and a large group of people around to watch and discuss, the whole day of quarreling made Qing Xiao feel a little dizzy, Qing Xiao rubbed her temples, and kept complaining about the old man of the national teacher He really will find something for himself to do, and this is the last group of people.

"Everyone in the back come in together." The officer standing in front said blankly.

A group of people went in orderly, and Yan Mo found that everyone stopped talking suddenly, and each performed their own special skills on the huge stage, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, silk and bamboo orchestra, singing and dancing, Yan Mo was full of enthusiasm. With a gloomy face, he couldn't help but asked Lin Lin next to him in a low voice, "What is this for?"

"You didn't know," Lin Lin immediately became interested. "Of course it's a performance now. If the performance is good, maybe the adult above will be interested, so you can go in. I want to perform the blowpipe. What are you going to do?"

"Uh," Yan Mo was stunned. Well, he admits that he has learned a lot of musical instruments, such as the piano and guitar, although he is not proficient, he can still be a little bit, but how could there be such things in ancient times? In ancient times, he was indeed a useless person, so he had to honestly say, "I don't know anything."

"Actually, it's nothing." Lin Lin patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Maybe the adult above thinks you're good, so he might choose you."

"I'm fine," Yan Mo smiled. Anyway, I don't want to be that imperial concubine, but I just want to find a safe place to hide. I heard that after the first pass, you can live in the imperial city first. Then slowly select, and finally the selected concubine will be sent to the palace.

It doesn't matter if you really can't get in. Anyway, he feels that he is quite safe now, and people who are generally unfamiliar will not recognize him at all. Maybe he can escape in a few days.

Once he figured it out in his mind, Yan Mo no longer struggled, and leisurely watched other people's performances on the stage, not caring about other people's eyes at all.

Qingxiao also noticed that figure on the stage, felt vaguely familiar, and couldn't help stepping towards that side, but when she approached, she was taken aback when she saw the side profile, with a bit of doubt in her heart, that such a heavily made-up person should be Not him.

Yan Mo turned around abruptly and saw Qing Xiao standing behind him, the tip of his nose had just brushed against each other, he could clearly feel each other's temperature, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, those deep eyes looked straight into the bottom of his heart, inexplicably aroused A layer of ripples.

It feels so familiar!

Yan Mo backed away again and again, with a trace of panic on his face. He had met this person once in the Qingzui Pavilion, because his peerless appearance was hard for ordinary people to forget when they saw him. At that time, he was still a little curious about him. Seeing each other here, I don't know if he will recognize me.

"It really is you," Qingxiao smiled lightly, like a spring breeze blowing on her face, there was still a trace of doubt in her heart, but after hearing this voice, she was immediately sure.

"Do you still remember me?" Yan Mo was surprised. He clearly remembered that he was just a servant at the time, and he only stayed inside for a few minutes. He didn't expect that he really remembered himself, and he felt a little nervous. Would he tell Ji Le? .

Qingxiao nodded, with a smile on her face, "By the way, why are you here? Are you also here to participate in the concubine selection?"

The warm and jade-like voice was like raindrops, once again Yan Mo stirred up layers of ripples in his heart, Yan Mo's face turned red, and he felt even more embarrassed when he thought of the heavy makeup on his face, so he quickly lowered his head, "I, I'm just here to take a look, I'm just curious."

"Curiosity?" Qingxiao said softly, she couldn't stop the soft smile on her face, her beautiful eyes were slightly bent into beautiful arcs, as bright as stars falling into them, her long black hair was tied up, and she was dressed in a blue official uniform Elegant and handsome, Yan Mo was watching mesmerized. Lin Lin was surprised when he saw Qing Xiao, and quickly asked Yan Mo, "Yan Mo, so you know Mr. Qing? Hehe, that's great, Qing My lord, let us all go through it."

Qingxiao smiled slightly, "I'm easy to talk about here, but the National Teacher will come to see it in person tomorrow."

When Yan Mo heard that Qingxiao could help him, his eyes lit up, "It's okay, I'm just curious about the imperial city, and I want to live in the imperial city for a few days to feel it, and it's okay if I can't choose in the end."

"Okay then." Qingxiao looked at Yan Mo's bright eyes and nodded gently, thinking of the information she had received before, she felt a sudden pain in her heart for some reason, a feeling of sadness lingered tightly, how dare they hurt Yan Mo like this.

Rubbing gently with your fingers, there is a firm light in your eyes, Yan Mo, I will protect you.
