Chapter 86: New Favorite
Although Concubine Shu was also a little nervous, she didn't really take it too seriously. The emperor has spoiled her for so many years, and he will never really dislike their mother and daughter because of her ninth princess's willfulness once!
So she lay down on the beauty couch very comfortably, while letting people apply facial fat to her face, she carefully and gently massaged her face to give the best effect; While thinking that the facial fat offered by her sister-in-law was really easy to use, she felt that her skin was a lot more delicate after only half a box.
I heard my sister-in-law say that in this way, a small jade box of flour fat that is not the size of a child's palm will be sold for three hundred taels of silver in the famous rouge shop "Huayan" in the capital. It is also often in short supply.
It's a little more expensive, but the things are good, so it's no wonder that they are so expensive. Seeing that this box is about to be gone, I must quickly call someone out of the palace to spread the word, and ask my sister-in-law to bring some more in.
Feeling the gentle touch on her face, Concubine Shu closed her eyes comfortably, maintaining a good skin appearance in the palace is the first priority, as long as the thing is easy to use, no matter how expensive it is, it is worth it. Concubine Shu thought vaguely, and sleepiness gradually came up.
"It's not good."
Just when Concubine Shu fell into a half-dream, her confidant palace maid who went to find an acquaintance before the emperor stumbled in, looking panicked.
Concubine Huo Ran was awakened, and a spirit sat up, looking at Ruping, the confidant palace maid who was so frightened that she knelt in front of her. Suddenly she was angry, she grabbed something next to her that she didn't know what it was, and smashed it directly without looking at it.
Ruping didn't dare to hide, she took this blow hard, only to feel that something hard hit her left cheek, and a hot pain came, and at the same time, there was a good smell on her face, and she felt a soft and greasy, smooth and smooth greasy greasy paste slowly sliding down her skin. She secretly complained, what else could it be if it wasn't the mother's most precious face fat?
After the concubine finished smashing, she realized that what she grabbed casually was the box of flour fat that was not easy to buy for three hundred taels of silver, but there was still half of it. Concubine Shu gritted her teeth in distress. The hand involuntarily stroked his heart and liver. Looking at Ruping's eyes, she almost ate people. The voices are all out of tune.
"You...... Tell me, what's going on? "If it's not a big deal, dare to come over and bump in such a frizzy way, and see how she punishes her.
Seeing that Concubine Shu's anger was not light, there was a thick ruthlessness in her voice, and all the people who were waiting around were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound. Ruping's face turned white directly.
Concubine Shu's temper in private is really not good. To say that the ninth princess is so domineering, in fact, most of them have inherited the temperament of the concubine.
"Niangniang, the slave maid first went to find Gonggong Fu beside the emperor, who knew that he didn't even see anyone at all, so he was sent away. The slave went to find Fu Gonggong's disciple Su Gonggong, Su Gonggong first shirked in every possible way and refused to say anything, and then the slave and maid stuffed all the silver they brought to him, and begged him for a while before he said that the emperor has not come recently, because, because the emperor has a new person around him, he has a sacred heart. The slave wanted to ask more details, but he refused to speak again. ”
Ruping didn't dare to cover the fat on her face, and said with a crying voice.
In fact, there was another sentence that Father-in-law Su didn't dare to say, and Father-in-law Su also said that Cheng Dù, who was favored by the newcomer, couldn't even compare to Concubine Shu when she was the most favored.
Ruping wanted to cry very much, if she simply heard that the emperor had favored the newcomer, she would not have lost her sense of proportion like this, and rushed into the inner hall of the mother. The main thing is that the attitude of those people makes her feel bad. For so many years, their mothers have been openly and secretly giving a lot of benefits to the inner servants around the emperor, who knows that they are so unconscionable, and seeing that they are afraid of falling out of favor, they are anxious to draw a clear line with them.
Thinking of Lian Su's father-in-law looking afraid of her, Ruping beat the drum in her heart. After following Niangniang into the palace for so many years, she has seen too many changes in the palace, and she will no longer be as naïve as before, and she will not understand anything. Gonggong Fu refused to see her, and other people around the emperor suddenly changed their original affectionate attitude towards her, but avoided her one by one. Father-in-law Su even spent a lot of money to ask a sentence or two, and then refused to say anything more, and said that if she asked him again, she would even have to return the silver to her. In the end, she asked her not to come to him again in the future, and she wouldn't say anything if she found him.
The people who serve around the emperor dare to have such an attitude towards themselves as the concubine's confidant and palace maid, what does this mean?
"Newcomer?" Concubine Shu stood up, and she couldn't care about the three hundred taels of face fat that distressed her. Walking back and forth on the ground covered with thick dark red lichen.
"No wonder." No wonder the emperor didn't come for so many days. But have there been fewer newcomers in the palace over the years? What if those people are younger than her, how can they be more beautiful than her, and which one will last longer in the end? Don't you have to bow your head in front of her to please everyone?
"What's so strange about having new people, it's not like there have been before." Thinking of this, Concubine Shu squinted at Ruping with her eyes, "What are you fussing about?" ”
“……”
Ruping cried with a sad face, not knowing how to tell her master. She had a hunch that this time was different. But?
"That's it, you go down." Concubine Shu waved her hand, looking at Ruping's ugly face with a grease on her face, and looked disgusted. In the end, it was decided to let her go.
Ruping heard the impatience in Concubine Shu's voice, opened her mouth and didn't dare to say anything more, so she retreated as she said.
Concubine Shu spat a few times "bad luck". This Ruping is becoming more and more useless. If it weren't for the fact that she was brought out by her own family, and she had used it for so many years, she still had to save some face for her, she would have ordered someone to slap her mouth.
"Newcomer, the emperor actually has a newcomer? It's not the day of the draft lately, where do the newcomers come from? Could it be that the little palace maid took the opportunity to climb the dragon bed? Thinking of this possibility, Concubine Shu couldn't help but distort her face.
The "newcomer" who dared to climb the bed while she was reprimanded and neglected by the emperor saw how she would clean her up in the future.
Soon another group of people sent out by Concubine Shu came back, and the news brought back made Concubine Shu directly dumbfounded.
Concubine Shu has been taking care of palace affairs for many years, and there are a lot of people placed everywhere, except for the emperor's palace, she really can't insert people, and she doesn't dare to put people in. There are more or less her people in the other palaces, so the news in the palace is also well-informed, and the news brought back by the people she sent out this time is much more detailed than the one brought back by Ruping before.
