Verse 860: Daily life in the palace
Nangong Yulan laughed out loud when she heard this: "My sister is so good at metaphors, no matter what, my sister said so, then I will accompany my sister to visit the Imperial Garden." ”
As he spoke, he sat up from the bed, and the attendant had already helped him up to wash, and then helped him to the Qibao dresser, which had a total of thirty-six rooms, and thirty-six rooms were full of various ornaments, and the palace maid stepped forward and held a key in each hand. With just one rotation of the mechanism, the doors of the thirty-six chambers closed at the same time. The keys were pulled out of the mechanism, and all the doors were opened, and the image of the person in front of the dresser appeared in the mirror in front of each room. The front and rear sides must be illuminated all over without omission.
Nangong Yuhuan was dumbfounded, knowing that the palace was luxurious, but the luxury to this extent still surprised Nangong Yuhuan, but Nangong Yuhuan was also from the family no matter what he said, and he immediately calmed down. praised in his mouth: "It is said that the world is the most happy realm, but the emperor can have it, so it seems really good!"
Nangong Yulan disagreed, shook her head and said: "You only see thieves eating meat, you can't see thieves being beaten, the emperor is thinking about all opportunities every day, and all kinds of affairs are lingering, in addition to listening to the government, releasing the council, governing the people, and cultivating himself, where is there any time to have fun, we, the harem concubines, seem to enjoy all the glory and wealth, but who knows that we are not losing our freedom, and we are wasting our time every day?"
Nangong Yuhuan nodded and said: "Sister is right, it seems that everyone stands at a different angle, and thinks differently, those people in the world who envy the life of the emperor can't even do it for a moment, and we think that the most laborious thing is precisely the most comfortable in the eyes of everyone." It seems that he is still content!"
"My sister is right to think so, you see my seven-treasure dressing table luxurious, but you don't know the dressing table of the emperor and queen, that is rare in the world. "Nangong Magnolia Road.
"Oh, is the Empress Niang's dresser more luxurious than her sister's?" Nangong Yuhuan asked curiously.
"It's not just luxury, let me tell you, the dresser that the emperor asked the emperor to make for the emperor, there is a mirror table in the middle, and there are doors installed on the two floors under the stage. When the queen wants to freshen up, after opening the box with the mirror, the door under the stage will automatically open, and a wooden woman will come out of it, holding a towel for grooming, a grate and other things. After the Emperor takes these things, the wooden woman will return to the door. Everything else, such as facial grease, setting powder, eyebrow pencils, bun flowers, etc., was automatically given to the queen by the wooden woman. When it was all done, the wooden woman returned to the mirror stand, and the door closed automatically. Some of these offerings are made by wooden women. The queen put on her makeup, and the doors were closed so that the dressers could be taken away. The dressing table is decorated with gold, silver, pearls, agate, and other curiosities, as well as colorful drawings. Even the wooden women's costumes are very elaborate and elegant. That's called luxury. Nangong Yulan boasted.
"Tsk, there's such a kitsch of the makeup table, I'm lucky enough to see it. Nangong Yuhuan said.
While speaking, Nangong Yulan was already sitting in front of the Qibao makeup table, and the thirty-six rooms were all open, and the treasure in the room was shining and gorgeous. The beauty in the mirror is like jade, unparalleled in the world.
Nangong Yulan held a comb in one hand and Nangong Yulan's hair in the other, and praised: "My sister is like a cloud with a head full of black silk, she is really beautiful." ”
Nangong Yulan smiled faintly and said, "Yours is not the same, I wonder what kind of hairstyle my sister is going to comb for me today?"
Nangong Yuhuan said: "I'll comb my sister's heavy building peony head that is popular in Shenzhou Daxuanguo." ”
"Oh, this hairstyle sounds interesting, then there's Sister Lao. Nangong Yulan leaned softly on the embroidered backrest, with a comfortable performance.
Nangong Yuhuan smiled, and combed Yulan's hair with his hands and feet, this Chonglou peony head is extremely troublesome, and it is necessary to coil the hair layer upon top of the head, coiled into the shape of a flower, and have to take some wigs, after the Chonglou peony head is coiled, Nangong Yuhuan combed Yunjian Qiao's forehead makeup in front of the magnolia bangs, this hairstyle is finally combed, and it took half an hour to work on the hairstyle alone.
After the hair was combed, Nangong Yuhuan put a layer of light yarn on Nangong Yulan's face, and I don't know what was attached to the light yarn, it was cool and cool on the face, and there was a faint fragrance.
"What is this?" Nangong Yulanqi said.
Nangong Yuhuan smiled slightly: "This is a light yarn made of mulberry silk, soaked in the dew of a hundred flowers, and applied to the face. ”
"Is there such a good thing?" Nangong Yulan was skeptical.
"Sister, won't you know if you try it?" Nangong Yuhuan didn't explain.
After a moment of time, Nangong Yuhuan took off the mask from Nangong Yulan's face, Nangong Yulan couldn't wait to touch her cheeks, and said, "It seems to be smoother." ”
"Why is Concubine Lan so happy?" the two were talking and laughing when they suddenly heard someone ask at the door.
Nangong Yulan turned around, and saw that yesterday's concubine and concubine Ru were coming, and said with a smile: "Why are the two sisters here, please sit down, my maiden sister was combing my hair and applying a mask just now." ”
A palace maid had already stepped forward to take out the embroidery and set it up for the two of them to sit down, and Concubine Qiang smiled: "No wonder Sister Lan is so happy, this hair is really well combed, just like a blooming peony flower." ”
Nangong Yulan grinned and said, "My sister is really right, this hairstyle is called Chonglou Peony Head." ”
"No wonder, no wonder. Concubine Qiang couldn't help but nod her head and said, "My sister's face is so smooth and delicate, and the color is like morning glow and snow, which is also the effect of the mask that this sister put on?"
Nangong Yulan laughed and said: "How can it be so exaggerated as you say, what is not Fu fat powder and the color is like the morning glow reflecting snow, but the skin is smoother after application." But I don't know if there are many sisters, if there is, I will give some to Qiang Concubine Niangniang and Ru Concubine Niangniang. ”
Nangong Yuhuan said with a smile: "This is not a rare thing, I still have it here, so I will give some to the two mothers, this mask will be better if you wear it for a long time." ”
Concubine Qiang took the words and thanked her, but asked worriedly: "The things my sister gave me are good, but I'm afraid that I will be addicted to it, and there will be no place to buy it then." ”
Nangong Yuhuan smiled slightly and said: "Concubine Qiang, don't worry, if you run out, I'll make some for you, speaking of which, the production method is also simple, that is, make mulberry silk into light yarn, soak it in a hundred flower water, and put it on your face." ”
