"These books are from the South China Empire and other empires, books of practice, books of music theory, works written by literati, etc., will be sent here, which can be described as all-encompassing, and some of the titles of these new books were given by the emperor himself. Every time someone comes in with a new book, the emperor gives it a reward. ”

"Studying here, winter is not cold and summer is not hot, you can see the beautiful scenery by pushing the window, and when you close the window, you can ignore the things outside the window and only read the sages and sages, which is really a good place. ”

Concubine Qiang finished the Guanwen Hall in one breath, and Nangong Yuhuan was itchy when she heard it, and couldn't help asking, "Then can I go to the Guanwen Hall to read?"

"This ......" Concubine Qiang was not able to answer, looking at Nangong Yulan.

Nangong Yulan patted Yuhuan's hand and said: "What's wrong with this, although you are not a royal person, I can also ask someone to help you make a sign, and you can enter and exit the Guanwen Hall at any time, but there are some books in the hall that you can't see." ”

"It's okay, it's good to be able to go in, I don't know if you can let me go in and feel it now?" Nangong Yuhuan asked yearningly.

Nangong Yulan smiled dotingly and said, "You, then I'll try it." As he spoke, he led Nangong Yuhuan to the Guanwen Palace.

Nangong Yulan and the gatekeeper of the Guanwen Hall explained the situation, and the yellow gate hesitated, but finally agreed to Nangong Yulan's request, and let Nangong Yuhuan enter the hall.

The shelves of books in the hall are all over the space, this is only the ordinary library on the first floor of the Guanwen Palace, not the rare book collection area, and the cultivators to watch the book jade slips, Nangong Yuhuan Sui took down a book from the shelf casually, it is a "Law Book Record", the text on the book is written by the author of the book and the paper book is the most beautiful person, not to mention the content, just this good hand, it is pleasing to the eye.

However, this time Nangong Yuhuan came here just to open his eyes and learn about the palace collection, so he didn't take a closer look at this "Law Book Record", put down this book, and Nangong Yuhuan took down a book from the shelf, which was one foot five inches and six minutes high and nine inches and three minutes wide. The book is magnificent, with royal majesty and spirit. The leaves of the book are made of snow-white, thick bark paper, and when the book is opened, it emits a faint bookish fragrance, which is very exquisite and beautiful. The book jacket is hard-mounted with multiple layers of rice paper, and there is a layer of yellow silk on the outermost part that is wrapped with the brain, which is particularly solemn.

"Why does my sister like to read such mortal books?" Qiang Concubine seemed to be a little disdainful.

"On weekdays, I read some books in the jade slips, and this kind of mortal book is also novel. Nangong Yuhuan explained with a smile.

"There are not many of these mortal books in Nanhua itself, most of them are books from other countries. Ru Concubine explained.

Nangong Yuhuan nodded, opened the book and looked at it, and couldn't help but be taken aback: "Hey, isn't this the royal book of the Great Xuan Kingdom of Shenzhou?"

Turning the book jacket of the "Great Xuan Treasure Book" is the end of the volume, that is, the first page of the text. It can be seen that the entire book is written with a vermilion and ink pen. The red pen is mainly used to draw the boundary lines of the sidebar and write the author and the title of the book cited; the ink pen is used to write the title, the number of volumes, the rhyme, the text of the book and draw pictures; and the circle point is stamped with cinnabar ink and mud with a reed, bamboo, bone or jade pen tube with a hollow inner and outer circle. The overall look is dignified and beautiful, and the ink is brilliant.

The scarlet sidebar of each leaf of the Great Xuan Treasure Book is drawn by hand, not printed. The sidebar of the treasure book is painted on both sides, the "Zhu Silk Column" divides each half of the leaf into eight lines, there is a thick "elephant trunk" on the top and bottom of the center, and there is a "fish tail" in the middle, and the title and volume number are recorded above the "fish tail", and the number of leaves is recorded below. The strokes of the line are evenly thickened and meticulously drawn. If you look closely, you will also find that there are needle holes on and below the Zhu silk railing, and according to this needle eye, you can guess that the column lines can be drawn at equal intervals because of these needle eyes. There are also a large number of illustrations in the book, all of which are drawn in white style, and the mountains, rivers, famous objects, people, and castles depicted are realistic and exquisite.

"What's so strange about this, it must be that the emperor exchanged some treasure with others, or maybe it was simply a tribute from the Great Xuan Kingdom. Concubine Qiang said disappreciatively.

"It's possible. Ru Concubine echoed on the side.

Nangong Yuhuan didn't dwell on this issue, no matter how it came about, he was just a spectator anyway. smiled at the moment, didn't participate, continued to look through some books in the hall, and had a general understanding of the books in the Guanwen Palace, and then put down the books in his hand and came out of the Guanwen Palace.

After leaving the Guanwen Palace, Nangong Yuhuan thanked Concubine Qiang and Concubine Ru: "The two sisters have accompanied me to stay in the Guanwen Hall for such a long time, and I hope that the two of them will not be disgusted." ”

If it is something sent by ordinary people, most of the two concubines will not look down on it, there is nothing good in the palace, but the things sent by Nangong Yuhuan make the two of them unable to figure out the truth and reality, and they don't know whether it is good or bad.

So Concubine Qiang and Concubine Ru said: "My sister is polite, but it is due to everyone's interest, and when I went there, I didn't accompany my sister specifically, so I don't have to be so polite." But subtle facial expressions can't hide their inner desires.

Nangong Yuhuan smiled and said, "It's not a valuable item, the two sisters can accept it." ”

As he spoke, he took out two small azure porcelain round boxes from the storage ring and handed them to the two of them.

"Is this ......" the two of them opened the box and looked at it, "rouge or lipstick?"

Nangong Yuhuan smiled slightly and said, "This lipstick is for the female teacher of my Yuanshengmen, and it can't be bought outside." The production of this lipstick needs to be made from the fifteenth day of the first month to the end of spring in March every year, first pick new flowers and willow leaves, especially the peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, impatiens and so on. The water is boiling, and the red gold leaf such as rouge is used, the pearl is four points, the red coral is four points, the blood amber is three points, the plum blossom borneol is one point, and the gold leaf is pounded into a puree, and the boiling soup is boiled. To the furnace in the middle of the purple smoke, with the treasure fan to flick the smoke thicker, full of purple gold. Only then did the Dan master take the cotton wool and cover the cigarette, and the smoke was all in the smoke, so he collected it for the cheeks and painted it on the face with the color of smoke. ”
