Verse 1005: Expressing Affection
"Yes, yes, it's best if Miss is willing to make flower dew for us. The six palace maids responded in unison.
"Then we'll settle down. Nangong Yuhuan said with a smile. This can be regarded as a double benefit, not only to make flower dew for the six palace maids, but also to give the surplus to Nangong Yulan for later use.
Lu Qiao couldn't help but ask, "Shall we start collecting flower dew now?"
Nangong Yuhuan smiled slightly and said: "This is not in a hurry, it is best to pick the flower dew in the early morning, the day is not bright to the half hour of the day, the flowers at that time are not spit out, there is still morning dew on the flowers, the most fragrant, the flower made of flowers at this time is the best." ”
Lu Qiao stuck out his tongue and said, "Obediently, you are still so exquisite! Miss, you know too much, right?"
Nangong Yuhuan smiled faintly and said: "Where, I just like to read some idle books and study some miscellaneous things." ”
"Miss is not reading this idle book, this is interesting, we still want Miss to teach us, I don't know if Miss is willing to teach?" asked Lu Qiaoyang beggingly.
"What is there that you refuse to teach, if you want to learn from what I will teach you. Nangong Yuhuan said disapprerovitically.
"That's great, I heard that Miss dances well, so I want to learn to dance with Miss, but unfortunately I haven't had that opportunity, and now Miss is willing to teach us this, that's great. Not only Lu Qiao is willing to learn, but Hongxuan and others next to him also expressed their desire to learn.
Nangong Yuhuan said: "Then I'll take roses as an example, the production of this rose dew is actually a surplus product of making rouge, which is made from the petals left over from making rouge." It uses ......"
Before Nangong Yuhuan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hong Silk, only to see Hong Silk grinning and saying, "Miss, let's talk about how to make rouge first." ”
"Hey, don't you want to listen to what Hualu do?" Nangong Yuhuan asked in surprise.
Hongxuan glanced at the other five little sisters, and said with a smile: "It's not too late for Hualu to talk about it later, Miss should talk about the production of rouge first, do you say yes?"
The remaining five people nodded hurriedly, Nangong Yuhuan shook his head and smiled: "You guys, it seems that beauty is more important than fun, okay, then I will tell you about the production of rouge, first of all, choose flowers." The standard is to be bright red. The color of flowers and flowers is not the same, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods. Put the flowers together, and the colors will be distinguished. Even if it is a flower, the color between the petals is different, and between the top and bottom, there is a difference in color. Therefore, it is necessary to pick one petal at a time, and choose one by one. In this way, rouge is created to ensure a pure red color. According to this method, hundreds of catties of roses can only be picked out one or twenty catties of petals to make rouge, and the rest can only be made into flower dew. The picked petals are pounded with a deep stone mortar, and the pestle used to pound the petals should also be made of white marble, and metal should not be used, as it will change color. Pound the petals into a puree with a stone pestle, and then filter them with fine gauze, and the gauze is washed and ironed without hair. In this way, the flower juice is made clean, and then the flower juice is poured into the prepared rouge tank, and some alum should be added when pounding the roses, so that the color can catch the meat and not float. Then there is soaking, cutting the silk cotton into small squares or circles, stacking them into five or six layers and soaking them in a rouge tank. It takes more than ten days to soak, and the silk cotton is covered with a thick layer of juice. Then take it out and dry it through the glass window, so as not to get dirty, and you must not bake it, as it will change color as soon as it is baked. When it's time to use it, dip your little finger in warm water and sprinkle it on the rouge to dissolve the rouge, and you can apply it to your hands and face, but it is not okay to apply your lips. Lip painting is to roll the silk rouge into a thin roll, turn it to the lips with the thin curl, or use the jade scratch head to turn it on the silk rouge, and then tap the lips. "Oh, Miss, you really know a lot!" At this time, even Lu Zheng was amazed.
Nangong Yuhuan smiled indifferently and said: "This is all because I was young and greedy for beauty, and now I haven't done it for a long time." ”
The young lady laughed. Lu Zhengdao: "I see that Miss Fanghua is flourishing and her color is bright, where is she not young?"
Mo E and the other six people also said in unison: "That's it, that's it, Miss is young in color, it was the time of youth, if Miss didn't love beauty, who would dare to love beauty!"
Nangong Yuhuan didn't argue with these people, smiled faintly, and wanted to talk about the topic, but suddenly heard someone behind him say: "Aiqing is in its prime, like the sun in the sky, like the full moon, how can there be a little decadence, it is the time when the color is stained with fat and powder, and the moth eyebrows are swept towards the supreme." ”
"I didn't know that the emperor was here, and before he could avoid it, the concubine was rude. Nangong Yuhuan heard that the person behind him was Emperor Nanhua, so he hurriedly turned around and bowed, and the six palace maids and Lu Zhengze prostrated on the ground and bowed.
"Haha, I don't blame you, I specially found it, I didn't surprise you. The emperor laughed.
Nangong Yuhuan smiled and said: "I didn't be surprised, you must know that under Putian, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, not to mention that it is in the emperor's own palace, it is not even more that you can go wherever you want, but it is our luck that we have the honor to meet you." ”
"You're really getting better at talking. The emperor smiled and said, "In that case, why are you hiding from me?"
Nangong Yuhuan smiled slightly and said: "It is rare for the emperor to accompany his sister, and it is inconvenient for the concubines to disturb him, so he took a few maids out to go shopping, and there is no other meaning." ”
The emperor stared at Nangong Yuhuan with his eyes, looked at it for a long time, and said, "Do you really mean that?"
"This ......" Nangong Yuhuan was a little uncomfortable being stared at by the emperor, and he didn't know how to answer for a while when he saw him ask.
The emperor waved his hand and said to the people next to him, "You all retreat." ”
"The slave obeys. Hongxuan and the other six people directly bent down and slowly retreated, and Lu Zheng also retreated like the six people, but when he left, he quickly glanced at Nangong Yuhuan with the corner of his eye, and the guards and eunuchs who followed the emperor also quickly retreated.
Seeing that everyone retreated, the emperor said: "Miss Ah Huan is also a smart person in Bingxue, she should know my intentions, why do you want to go around in circles with me?"
"This ......" Nangong Yuhuan didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing to her directly, she thought that she would just hide and forget it, but now it seems that she can't hide it.
Nangong Yuhuan took a deep breath and said: "The concubine naturally knows what the emperor means, but the concubine doesn't want to have any relationship with the emperor, and hopes to forgive her sins." ”
"Why is that? Is it because I am not famous enough, or is I not powerful enough?" said the emperor's face, a slight anger.
