Volume 1 The Great Dream Chapter 29: Congratulations on Birthday
The queen mother's birthday is coming soon, because the birthday banquet is in the evening, so after lunch, the Xiangfu also began to get busy, Zhao asked people to take stock of the congratulatory gifts to be sent, and found someone to let Shen Yue look at the gift list, since the incident of Aunt Qiu, Shen Yue has become more and more indifferent to Zhao, and now it is finally an opportunity, husband and wife must enter the palace at the same time, Zhao naturally seized the opportunity to make up for the rift between Shen Yue and Shen Yue, not for anything else, just for Shen Mo, she has to live in the Xiangfu swallowing her anger.
Shen Yue saw that the Zhao family was well organized, and in addition to the husband and wife, there were three daughters who entered the palace, and the Zhao family also needed to choose clothes and jewelry for the daughters. ”
Zhao immediately turned red with hypocrisy, dipped a handkerchief in the corner of his eyes, and said, "Whatever the master said, this is all within the status of a concubine." When the lord is tired, rest first, and then call the lord when the hour comes, and all matters in the palace do not need to be worried about by the lord. ”
Shen Yue nodded, and just as he thought about going to rest, Gonggong Xu came in from outside.
Because the queen remembered her orchid, she sent her father-in-law to come early. Gonggong Xu explained his intention to Shen Yue: "Xiangye doesn't have to be nervous, it's the queen who wants the third miss to enter the palace in advance, I wonder if the third miss is in the house?" ”
Shen Yue hurriedly greeted: "Qinghuan is in his yard, father-in-law, please come with me." ”
The Zhao family was working hard to mend the crack with Shen Yue, who knew that Gonggong Xu was inserted all of a sudden, Shen Yue heard that it was the queen who invited Qing Huan into the palace in advance, and he felt that his face was bright, so he took Gonggong Xu away in a hurry, leaving Zhao alone sulking in place.
"Master Xiang, let's go get busy, the old slave will go to the palace after a few words to the third lady." Shen Yue had no choice but to leave first.
Gonggong Xu hurriedly said to Qing Huan: "Third Miss, oh my third aunt, the queen mother is very anxious, I don't know what happened to the flower?" ”
"Father-in-law, please take a look." Qing Huan said and pointed to the few pots of orchids in the corner of the wall, if it weren't for the fact that this pot was unique to the palace, he almost thought that this was not the few pots that Qing Huan brought back, where was there still a little shadow of decadence?
really reflected what Qing Huan said to the queen, bright and dripping, and the flowers bloomed just right.
"Oh, that's great, how did the third lady do it? Hey, now the mother can be relieved. ”
Qing Huan smiled and said, "Father-in-law can also rest assured, is he still thinking about how to explain to his mother if Qing Huan messes up?" ”
Gonggong Xu blushed and said: "The third young lady should not make fun of the old slave, the old slave believes in the third young lady very much." ”
Qing Huan instructed Zijin Zipei to wrap up the things on his dresser, and said to Gonggong Xu: "Let's go, father-in-law, don't let Niangniang wait in a hurry." ”
Gonggong Xu immediately asked people to drive the carriage to Qing Huan's courtyard, carefully loaded the orchid into the car, and led Qing Huan into the palace.
Speaking of Chang'an Palace, the queen mother was really anxious, and when she saw Qing Huan and her party coming, she immediately looked at Gonggong Xu.
"Niangniang rest assured, the flower was raised by the third lady very well, not only brought back to life, but also better than all the flowers we have seen, worthy of the variety personally selected by the mother, now the flowers are in full bloom, the old slave put in the flower room to watch carefully, there will be no mistakes."
The queen put a heart into her stomach and said to Qing Huan: "Come here, tell me how you did it?" ”
Qing Huan didn't know how to answer, so he sloppy eyes: "Back to Niangniang, the courtiers are just lucky to hit by mistake, this flower is not dead, but the requirements for air moisture are extremely strict, the courtiers remember that there is a record in the book, orchids should be kept in the greenhouse, watering should also be appropriate, if you are not careful, you may rot the roots because of more water, and if you don't have enough water, it will be easy to lack water and wither." The courtier was just a little careful, but she didn't expect it to be effective. ”
The queen praised: "Okay, you are really smart and hearty, this time it is really thanks to you." ”
Qing Huan hurriedly said: "Niang Niang praised it, Qing Huan can't afford it." ”
"You go with Father-in-law Xu, there are all kinds of seeds and seedlings in the flower room, if you like to plant these things, you can choose some, you don't have to come and report to me, but you have to come back after you take it, there is still some time before the dinner, you come to talk to the palace."
Qing Huan thanked him and followed Gonggong Xu, and after entering the queen's flower room, all the palace maids and eunuchs looked at Qing Huan like a bandit who went down the mountain, and really took some of every seed, among which those that were difficult to plant, and those with a low survival rate took more, and finally took a lot of flower seedlings that had just been cultivated. Looking at everyone's stunned eyes, Qing Huan turned his head and asked Grandpa Xu: "Grandpa Xu, did I take too much?" ”
Gonggong Xu hurriedly smiled and said: "The third lady doesn't have to worry, since the mother promised it herself, you just have to take it, if this is not enough, the old slave can take the young lady to the internal affairs office, and the young lady wants to write everything down, and the old slave will let the internal affairs office buy it." ”
Qing Huan said: "There is no need to be so troublesome, this is enough, enough." As he spoke, he asked the palace maid to move away the pot of jasmine that had just budded.
The corners of Gonggong Xu's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly ordered someone to quickly move the things selected by Qing Huan into the carriage, and carefully led the aunt and grandmother towards Chang'an Palace, for fear that Qing Huan would accidentally empty the queen's flower room, and wiped the sweat on his forehead while walking.
The queen was putting on makeup in the inner room, and after Qing Huan arrived, she had to wait outside, but fortunately, the dim sum in Chang'an Palace tasted good, and she hummed a little song while eating, bored to pass the time.
When the queen came out, it was really the same as Qing Huan imagined, which made people's eyes darken.
Qing Huan asked: "Queen Mother, forgive the courtiers for their courage, why is the mother so young, why is she always dressed like this?" ”
The queen's face was a little ugly: "This palace is the queen, so naturally she has to set an example for the women of the world, and she can't be like those concubines who are charming and delicate, and lose the royal system." ”
Qing Huan expressed deep sympathy and said: "But everyone has a love for beauty, and presumably Niangniang will also have envy times, but she is tired by her identity and has to do it as a last resort." It's better to do this, I'll put on makeup, my mother looks so beautiful, I can't live up to it. ”
The queen was a little moved, but she still hesitated: "It's not that the palace doesn't want to try, the palace is afraid that the queen mother and her old man will think the palace is frivolous." ”
"Mother, why not give it a try?" As he spoke, he beckoned Zijin to bring his things.
The queen looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so she really couldn't change it back. Qing Huan is right, why not give it a try!
Qing Huan used her own special lotion to gently remove the queen's makeup, and after washing it off, she first applied toner and cream to do basic skin care, and also carefully did a facial massage. Then he picked a little jasmine powder into the palm of his hand with a hairpin and began to evenly spread it on the queen's face. The queen felt strange, so she asked, "Qinghuan, what are you using here?" Why is it so delicate, it's better than the powder I usually use, and it smells a little fragrant. ”
Qinghuan explained: "This is a powder ground from jasmine seeds, I grind it very finely, and it not only does not hurt the skin but also has skin care effects on the face." Wait a minute, I'm going to put on a light makeup for my mother. ”
The three evil arts of modern times, plastic surgery, makeup, and PS, in addition to plastic surgery, makeup and PS which girl is not handy? Nowadays, the queen has all kinds of skin care and makeup things here, not to mention the cosmetics brought by Qing Huan herself, which are made with flowers and water in the space, and the effect is even better than those big names in modern times.
Qing Huan carefully melted her eyebrows, eyes, and the color of the eyeshadow was very light, but the effect was obvious, and the queen's eyes looked more spiritual. At the last time, Qing Huan picked the rouge to wipe the lips of the queen mother, which she made with fresh petals in the space, not only the color is good-looking, but the most rare thing is that it is fresh and natural, just red, bright but not glamorous! She saw that the effect was excellent, so she picked out a little bit to use as a blush, and in order to avoid over-reddening the two cheeks, she finally put on a light layer of foundation. In the end, Qing Huan led the queen to a well-lit place and handed over the bronze mirror.
The queen exclaimed, "This palace almost can't recognize that this is herself." Of course, Qing Huan's makeup skills are still very proud.
"Niangniang is modest, it is Niangniang's foundation is good, such a transformation, it is like a goddess in heaven descending to earth." Qing Huan doesn't mind slapping more sycophants.
The queen was very useful, and said with a smile: "Your mouth is sweet, and this palace has never seen anyone wear makeup like this, but it is rare that it looks very natural." ”
"Of course, the mother doesn't have to dress up like those concubines, but she can't always be so old-fashioned, just like this at a young age, people will age quickly. This kind of makeup is the most suitable for the mother, noble and generous, and it looks young. ”
"You're right, you like this palace very much, wait a minute, you have to tell the palace maid here slowly, this palace can't announce you into the palace every day, right?"
Qing Huan hurriedly said with a dog's leg: "It's good for Niangniang to like it, but you must carefully remove your makeup before going to bed at night, I will give the makeup remover here to Niangniang, I will make some masks and send them to Niangniang another day, and make a mask for skin care before going to bed, Niangniang's skin will get better and better." ”
The queen felt very useful: "There are some here in the palace, but they are made in the palace, and there has always been no effect on them, your things must be good, you can send them over as soon as possible." The queen said and glanced at Qing Huan again: "It's a pity that my second prince is still young, otherwise a woman like you, this palace really wants to marry the emperor, you are more popular than any beautiful daughter outside." The queen thought of the second prince, and her face couldn't help but show a loving expression.
Qing Huan hurriedly thanked in fear: "The mother is very loving, and the courtiers are grateful, but the courtiers don't understand the rules, how can they be worthy of the prince." ”
The queen sighed: "Alas, those who understand the rules are the most boring and tight, and they speak in a tone." However, when it comes to marriage, although the emperor is still young, there is a person who is very suitable. I just don't know if Qing Huan usually pays attention? ”
Qing Huan hurriedly asked who it was, and the queen said slowly: "Shangguan Yuyou, the prince of King Xuan, do you think it is worthy?" ”
Qing Huan immediately thought of Shangguan Yuyou's dark eyes, and looked at her when he didn't speak, as if he was shining light in the night.
Her heart moved, she had lost her mind, and hurriedly said: "Qing Huan didn't think about it, Niangniang didn't have to make fun." ”
The affairs of the Marquis of Zhongyi have not yet been seen, Shangguan Yuyou, alas, Qing Huan's heart is a mess when he thinks about it.
What's more, the candidate for the princess of the world, Princess Xuan has already been decided.
He is not Xiao Zhi, he is the prince of the palace, and he is the prince of the noble and unparalleled in the future, can he really, can he be a certain person?
She wasn't alone, she didn't want and would never share the same love with anyone.
Qing Huan shook his head, secretly sighing that he was too greedy!
The queen saw that her eyes were evasive, so she didn't say much: "You are still young, this matter can be discussed later." ”
Qing Huan said gratefully: "Thank you for the understanding." ”
