Chapter 208: Good Craftsmanship

Lu Yunxi stood beside the Queen Mother, couldn't help but turn her head, glanced at Concubine Cao, hooked the corners of her lips, showed a smile, and said softly, "Sister Concubine Cao is really anxious." Yesterday I agreed to this, and today you have come to your door. ”

Concubine Cao couldn't help but blush her cheeks, raised her hand and gently rubbed her white face twice, and sighed, "It's not that I'm in a hurry." It's really that Your Majesty rested in my palace yesterday, and I didn't give half of my powder, and I was always not confident in front of Your Majesty. However, His Majesty asked several times if I was unwell. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yunxi and the Queen Mother glanced at each other, and they both laughed involuntarily.

Lu Yunxi instructed Qi'er to go to the house and take out the no-eyebrow dai and lipstick that had been made.

These things were originally the existing recipes of the Dyeing Tide Pavilion, but they were only slightly improved, and they were not a difficult task.

She summoned someone to get the incense powder paste, poured all the dew she had collected into it, stirred it evenly, but a faint fragrance of lotus flowers instantly spread in the house, which made the Queen Mother and Concubine Cao also surprised.

"I made these things after going through medical books. In fact, the reason why pregnant women can't use those cosmetic things is because they are worried that the embalming system will have things that hurt the fetus. I've changed all of these things' antiseptic systems, they're all natural, and they don't hurt anything. Just in case, I'll ask the doctor to take a look at it later. ”

The Queen Mother and Concubine Cao glanced at each other, both of them with a look of surprise.

What kind of antiseptic system Lu Yunxi said is unheard of, and they don't know what it is.

Seeing the two of them like this, Lu Yunxi didn't know how to explain it, so she simply didn't say more, and only used those things on Concubine Cao's face one by one.

Fang Cai's face was still oily, her head was lowered, and Concubine Cao, who didn't dare to show it, seemed to be a different person after using those things.

She looked at herself in the mirror, her eyebrows furrowed, and she was surprised.

The pair of willow eyebrows go straight into the sideburns, and the lip color is a pale chestnut color, which shows that the whole person is not only outstanding in temperament, but also gentle and moving.

The incense powder paste on the face exudes a faint fragrance of lotus leaves, which is more refreshing than the rouge fragrance in the past, and smells a lot better.

Since Concubine Cao entered the palace, she has also seen a lot of good things, but she has never been as beautiful and moving as she is today.

She was so happy for a while that she didn't care about etiquette, she held Lu Yunxi's hands, stomped her feet excitedly, and opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word.

The Queen Mother was also surprised when she looked at Concubine Cao.

She has been in the palace for so many years, and she has never seen any concubine who can be so charming and touching when she is pregnant.

Which concubine is not sloppy in pregnancy, and many concubines have lost favor because of their poor image during pregnancy, and they only rely on their children to survive their lives.

But if those concubines all met someone as ingenious as Lu Yunxi, where would there be a fall from grace?

She stared at Concubine Cao, and she couldn't stop nodding her head in approval.

"Your Majesty has arrived. ”

At this moment, I heard my father-in-law's announcement from outside the house.

As he spoke, the emperor had already walked into the hall.

He saluted the Queen Mother and greeted him, and then his eyes fell on Concubine Cao on one side.

The emperor glanced at Concubine Cao twice, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

He stared straight at Concubine Cao.

Concubine Cao was born beautiful, but her complexion was not good during pregnancy, which covered up the delicate color of her facial features.

However, looking at it today, her temperament has not only not weakened at all, but has become a little more gentle than before.

Cao Concubine was stared at by the emperor, and her heart tightened, and she couldn't help lowering her head, hooking the corners of her lips, revealing an indifferent smile.

That smile made the emperor's heart ripple, and for a moment he felt that he couldn't take his eyes off it, and he was attracted to this woman wholeheartedly.

"Your Majesty?"

Seeing this, the Queen Mother was also overjoyed and called in a low voice.

The emperor woke up like a dream, looked at the queen mother, and showed a little cramped.

"Concubine Cao is still pregnant, why do you use these makeup things? Can you show it to the imperial doctor? Don't hurt the fetus in the womb. ”

Without waiting for Concubine Cao to answer, the Queen Mother had already waved her hand, "It's okay." These things are all made by Xi'er, this girl. Yesterday, she lit the lamp and boiled oil, and this morning she went to find lotus dew water, just to make some makeup things for Cao Concubine that can also be used during pregnancy. There is no fault with her craftsmanship. ”

When the emperor heard this, he cast a somewhat different gaze.

He looked Lu Yunxi up and down, showing a satisfied smile, "No wonder after the Dyeing Xi Pavilion was handed over to you, it took less than a year to become famous in the capital. Now, the Yun family's industry is also in your name, and in the future, the rich people all over the world will be difficult to match you. ”

When Lu Yunxi heard this, her heart sank.

Not only Lu Yunxi, but also the Queen Mother and Concubine Cao also chuckled in their hearts.

The Queen Mother glanced at the emperor, coughed, and said in a deep voice, "The Dyeing Pavilion has been in charge of the use of the concubines of the palace for a long time, if Your Majesty wants to return the Dyeing Pavilion to the treasury, you have to ask the thoughts of these people next to your pillow." ”

When the emperor heard this, his face moved slightly.

Concubine Cao also stepped forward, saluted the emperor, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the concubines don't understand those things in the court. However, Lu Yunxi's craftsmanship in making rouge gouache is unmatched in the world. If His Majesty really wants to return the Dye-Tide Pavilion to the treasury, I don't know how many women will lose the opportunity to become beautiful in vain in the future. ”

The emperor frowned, lowered his head, and rubbed the thumb and index finger of his right hand slightly, his mind fluttering, and he pondered.

"I'm just talking about it. However, it provoked the emperor's mother and the concubine to be so moved, and it was a mistake in my words. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yunxi also stepped forward, bowed down, and said softly, "Your Majesty, although the Yun family's property is temporarily in my name. But these are the work of my grandfather's life. Now, my grandfather has left the West, and His Majesty knows all kinds of reasons. Since I can't avenge my grandfather, I naturally have to do my best to keep his life's work. ”

The faces of the Queen Mother and Concubine Cao changed, and they all looked at the emperor cautiously.

The emperor obviously never thought that Lu Yunxi would be so bold.

What she meant by these words, didn't she blame herself in public for not punishing Nian Yuning for the sake of the Nian family's military salaries?

Thinking about it, the emperor slowly raised his head, his eyes frowned together, staring at Lu Yunxi, and his face became gloomy a little.

But he didn't want to, but Lu Yunxi didn't have half a fearless look, only tilted his head, stared into the emperor's eyes, the corners of his lips moved lightly, revealing a fearless smile.
