I slept all night until dawn.

Getting up in the morning to make up, Zhao Yan looked at her face in the diorama, which was no longer delicate enough, no matter how well it was maintained, the feeling of a woman's face at this age was different from those little girls after all.

It seems a bit dry and rough.

He took the snow-white Hangxi soft towel from Bai Tan's hand, soaked it with rose juice, and covered it warmly on his face. It's hot, as if all the pores on your face have been opened in an instant.

The floral scent is refreshing, and it also melts into dry skin.

Well, this is the ancient method of face mask that Zhao Yan came up with, and every once in a while the towel is removed, soaked in warm rose juice again, and then covered on the face.

This goes on and on until the skin is full and moisturized inside and out, then wipe off the excess juice on the face with a dry soft ropa, and finally start applying makeup.

Zhao Yan never uses lead powder, has always used jade peach blossom powder, or hosta pearl powder, although the durability is not very good, but it is better in health, and can play a role in maintaining the skin, but unfortunately these powders are all spent as soon as they sweat, so they must carry a box of fat powder with them to touch up their makeup at any time.

In this way, there is no need to say much about the consumption of makeup powder.

Breakfast should be lighter, and it is indispensable to eat a stewed white fungus bird's nest, which is best for nourishing yin and nourishing the skin.

After eating, Zhao Yan was about to call Xiao Wei'er and go boating on the West Lake together, when Bai Tan hurriedly ran over, squatted quickly, and said, "Niangniang, Magnolia Pavilion...... Something happened!"

The women in the Magnolia Pavilion ...... Just now Kangxi made a decree, and today he will be expelled, and Hangzhou weaving Sun Wencheng will be ordered to arrange marriage.

"What's wrong?" Zhao asked with an eyebrow.

"There was a girl from Qiupu who refused to leave the palace and committed suicide by hitting the wall in anger. Bai Tan said.

Zhao Yan's expression tightened: "Committed suicide by hitting the wall?

Bai Tan hurriedly said: "No, but my head was covered with blood, and I am already unconscious at the moment." The eunuch of the Magnolia Pavilion was panicked at the moment, and he didn't know what to do. ”

It turned out that he was not dead, so the possibility of crying, making trouble and hanging himself cannot be ruled out?

"What did the emperor say?" Kangxi's attitude is what Zhao Yan cares about the most.

Bai Tan said: "The Yulan Pavilion has also reported to the Imperial Palace, and the emperor only ordered them to end this matter quickly! But the eunuch in charge of the Yulan Pavilion was afraid of causing trouble, so he sent someone to ask Niangniang for you." ”

Zhao Yan asked lightly: "Please tell me what to do?" Seeing that Kangxi did not "pity the fragrance and cherish the jade", Zhao Yan was not angry.

Bai Tan said: "Then the slave went to send it?"

"Wait—" Zhao Yan paused for a moment, "Well, I'd better go and take a look." Although she was not afraid to speculate on those Magnolia Pavilion women with the worst malice, she ...... She still had something in her mind.

It was the thirtieth year of Kangxi, and the beauties of the three major local weaving were all delicate and beautiful at the beginning, but now eight years have passed, and they are all in their twenties. It stands to reason that he has been in the palace for eight years, and now he has the opportunity to get out of the palace to get married, which is obviously a good choice, but why would someone rather seek death than leave the palace?

Kangxi has never seen the women in the Yulan Pavilion since he called the palace, which has shown that they have no chance to regain favor, if they don't leave the palace, they will have to be lonely in the Hangzhou Palace for the rest of their lives. If you can get out of the palace, isn't it ten times better than the old death palace?

Why don't you go?

Zhao Yan was puzzled in her heart, so she wanted to take a look.

She was familiar with the road of the Magnolia Pavilion, and she arrived at it in less than half an hour.

This magnolia pavilion is very spacious, but there is a sad atmosphere inside, and a woman in her twenties is no longer young in this era. They are dressed one by one, and there is not much difference between them and the palace maids in this palace, that is, they are more beautiful and have a slim figure.

With a glance at the cold eyes, they knew that their life in the palace was not much better.

"The imperial concubine has arrived!" Hu Qingxi shouted, and the magnolia pavilion knelt together, and with a faint sweep, there were as many as seven or eight!

Zhao Yan was so angry that she secretly grinded her teeth, you are a dead old man, how many women from good families have you ruined?!

A closer look, there is a slender woman with a white face and a snow-white gauze tied around her head, it is obvious that she is the one who committed suicide by hitting the wall, and now she seems to have woken up. Oh, it's called Qiupu, isn't it?

Zhao Yan did not exempt herself, she swept her eyes coldly, and said in a loud voice: "I heard in this palace that some people would rather die than leave the palace?!"

The gauze on Qiupu's forehead had already ooped a touch of red, her slender body trembled, her mouth shook a few times, and said: "Yes! A good woman does not serve her second husband, and the slave is unwilling to remarry, so she begs the imperial concubine to be gracious!"

"Don't want to remarry?" Zhao Yan sneered, "How can it be regarded as 'remarriage'? How can you ever marry the emperor? How can you ever have a reputation?!"

This kind of ridicule made Qiu Puqiao's face extremely gloomy, and she bit her pale lip and said: "Even if the slave has never had a name, but after all, he has served the emperor!

Zhao Yan smiled: "What a woman with three chastity and nine spirits! You don't want to get married, okay, this palace is not reluctant!"

Qiupu was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you Imperial Concubine Niangniang!"

Zhao Yan's face suddenly became cold: "Don't be in a hurry to thank you! If you are willing to marry, this palace will reward you with a hundred taels of silver as a dowry, and if you don't want to marry, you must keep the festival! This palace will also fulfill you, and this palace will ask someone to send you to the Hangzhou nunnery and get married!"

Hearing this, Akiura's face turned pale.

Zhao Yan glanced at Qiu Pu coldly: "How about it? Do you want to get married with money? Or do you want to go to the nunnery and get out of the house?"

Qiu Pu looked at Zhao Yan with a stunned expression, such a choice was undoubtedly extremely difficult, and after a while, Qiu Pu smiled sadly and said, "Slave...... Willing to leave home. ”

What?!Zhao Yan's face was incredible!

Zhao Yan couldn't believe what she heard, "Are you stupid? Do you really think that nunnery is a quiet place for Buddhism?

Qiupu said with tears in his eyes: "The slave knows, but the slave has no other choice!"

Zhao Yan said: "You can also marry with silver, if you think the silver is less, the palace can reward you more!"

Qiupu cried and said: "It's not a matter of how much money there is! The slave's father is a squire in Hangzhou who has become a squire in Qiujia Town, and the family knows that all the slaves have entered the palace and served the emperor! If the slave remarries, the father must be the first to soak the slave in the pig cage! If the hair falls and the festival is observed, at least he can still live!"

Zhao Yan was stunned, she thought that this Qiupu had committed hypocrisy and stayed in the palace, but she was looking for an opportunity to seduce Kangxi......!

I didn't expect that in the prosperous land of Jiangnan, the etiquette religion was so strict.
