Guo's appearance is getting older day by day.
In order not to let King An find out, she deliberately did not go to see him.
The little maid persuaded her from outside: "Madam, if you don't go, I'm afraid Prince An will favor other women."
Mrs. Guo locked herself in the room and saw no one. In her eyes, instead of showing her true colors in front of King An, it would be better not to see him until her death, so that she could still leave a beautiful figure in his heart.
She scolded the little maid sternly, "Tell the prince that I'm sick and won't go!" ?.?????.ℂ??
The little maid didn't dare to say any more words and left in a hurry.
A few days later, the little maid came again to send a message, "Madam, King An is hosting a banquet in the mansion today, and I would like to invite you to go."
Guo didn't even think about it and was about to refuse.
The little maid interrupted her and said: "Madam, the master said that you must go when the monarch comes to the house today."
Most people say that Princess An is as beautiful as a fairy, which is rare in the world.
The king came specially to see her, so naturally King An would not allow her to hide inside.
In desperation, Guo took out herbal medicine and dyed all her hair black, and then smeared her face with thick lead powder.
After some careful dressing up, her appearance returned to normal.
Guo looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly felt confident again. She put on an orange-red skirt, a red hairpin and a gold hairpin, and was led by a group of maids to the garden where the banquet was held.
When King An saw her coming, he was about to go forward to greet her. He took two steps and was suddenly stopped by the monarch on the side.
"Don't rush to see your wife. It's been a long time since we, father and son, sat together and had a drink. Come on, have a drink."
The old monarch raised his wine glass and toasted to King An.
King An was embarrassed to refuse, so he could only drink with the old king first.
Mr. Guo sat down not far from the two of them.
Sitting around her were several adults from the court and their female relatives.
The ladies have long heard that Princess An is beautiful, and when they came to see her today, they all wanted to make friends with her.
However, they all looked shocked when Princess An, whom they saw from a distance, came over.
The woman whose face was painted pale and looked like a dead person turned out to be Prince An's Mansion.
"I heard that Princess An is as beautiful as a fairy, but when you look at her like this, she is not as beautiful as an ordinary woman."
"That's right, I see, it's those people who are talking big words, but it's just a young and pretty woman who has become a fairy through the passing of time."
"Haha, let's see, it's Prince An's eyesight that doesn't work well."
Their voices were not loud and were muffled by the sound of music.
Guo didn't notice any difference at all, and was ready to get up and go to the old king to wink at him.
As soon as she stood up, someone suddenly said: "It is said that Princess An has an outstanding appearance that has captivated the country. She is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Why don't you let the princess dance for us?"
"Yes, the monarch is here today, and it happens that we can witness Princess An's peerless appearance together."
"Yes, yes, I heard that as long as I can see the princess's face, I will die without regrets."
After hearing this, Ms. Guo lowered her head and buried her face in the dim light.
King An looked up at her and could only see her graceful figure. He didn't realize for a moment that there was something wrong with her appearance.
He smiled and said, "Madam, would you like to dance?"
Guo usually likes people to compliment her appearance, but now that she has the opportunity to show off, of course she is willing.
She stood up and saluted and said, "Then the slave family will be embarrassed."
King An squinted his eyes, with a doting smile on his face.
He felt very proud to have such a beauty in his house.
As Mrs. Guo slowly walked up to the person, lanterns were lit up, covering her whole body in a bright and dazzling light.
Everyone was blinded by this light.
The music sounded slowly.
Mrs. Guo danced gracefully. Her dancing skills were originally learned for the county magistrate, and now they are really put to use.
In the middle of the dance, a thunder suddenly flashed across the sky and a cold wind blew.
The wind blew out half of the lantern, and everyone gradually saw the dancing Guo clearly.
Everyone was frightened by Guo's pale face.
Even King An rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"Is this Princess An? She doesn't have an outstanding appearance, so she's just a bit fairer."
I don’t know who is brave enough to say this.
