Chapter 71: Strategies for the Harem's Struggle for Favor (1)

     “Xiaolang[1], Xiaolang.”

{Ellie: [1] Xiaolang - 小 xiǎo meaning small; tiny; few; young. Usually when it translates to English, translators use the word ‘little’.
郎 Láng - surname Lang; láng (arch.) minister; official; noun prefix denoting function or status; a youth. In this context, it can be translated to ‘little minister’ or ‘little official’}

     Tao Yuan heard the cry, slowly opened his eyes, and turned to look at the person standing by the bed.

     “It's time for Xiaolang to get up. When he enters the palace today, he should have prepared earlier.”

     “Eunuch Wu...” Tao Yuan sat up from the bed, looking bleary-eyed.

     Behind Eunuch Wu stood seven or eight maidservants, with toiletries in the trays in their hands.

     After watching Tao Yuan sit up, Eunuch Wu stepped back sideways, and the two attendants stepped forward to wait for Tao Yuan to wash together.

     After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Tao Yuan stood up and walked to the dressing room. The maids retreated. Eunuch Wu and the two attendants followed behind and entered the dressing room together to wait for Tao Yuan to change clothes.

     The two attendants opened the cabinet, and Eunuch Wu took out the robe with a light red background and a silver thread pattern, and prepared to wait for Tao Yuan to put it on.

     Tao Yuan looked at the robe and said, “Don't wear this robe.”

     Eunuch Wu was taken aback for a moment and said, “This set is Xiaolang's favorite set. It has been selected two days ago. Why don't you wear this set again?”

     “This robe is not suitable for wearing to the flower viewing banquet, it's too grand.” Tao Yuan said.

     “The Queen Mother will naturally wear a more grand dress for the flower viewing banquet, not to mention that no one is more suitable for red than Xiaolang. The ladies and Xiaolangs of the imperial city and foreign officials are going. Xiaolang should wear more eye-catching and more conspicuous, isn't it?”

    Tao Yuan shook his head and said, “Although it is the Queen Mother's flower viewing banquet, it is too much, and being too conspicuous will make people feel bad. Open all the wardrobes, I want to choose another clothes.”

     The person referred to in Tao Yuan's words is naturally the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother doesn't like too glamorous dress.

     The two attendants could only open all the wardrobes with formal clothes again, allowing Tao Yuan to choose again.

     Tao Yuan chose a warm orange formal dress with moire pattern. Although this robe is not as grand and conspicuous as the one just now, it is formal and not too beautiful. It is just right to wear it to the flower viewing banquet. And the warm orange color also adds soft light to the snow-white skin of the original owner.

     After getting dressed inside and out, Tao Yuan ate something to cushion his stomach first.

     After rinsing his mouth again, he walked to the dressing table and sat down, and asked the attendant to comb his hair.

     Songzhi opened the large and small wooden boxes on the countertop to apply makeup to Tao Yuan, and Tao Yuan said, “I'll do it myself.”

     Most of the gers in this world have a more neutral appearance, but there are also a few who are more masculine or feminine.
