Chapter 497: The first time I entered the palace as a makeup artist
The sound downstairs gradually became very noisy, and Zhao Xiaoxi looked at Xiao Jingrui's handsome face in a daze, and his face became extremely bad.
Just arrived in the capital and had trouble? Her life is really hard. Zhao Xiaoxi raised his forehead and drank a glass of juice: "You say, what's the matter?" ”
"In a few days, it will be Concubine Shu's birthday, and she wants the lady to enter the palace to help her put on makeup."
What's that? Lady Lady? Zhao Xiaoxi was dumbfounded, looked at his father-in-law in a daze, smacked his lips, and was very different: "Concubine Shuniang? The lady in the palace? ”
"Naturally, where did the lady from outside the palace come from?" Xiao Jingrui couldn't help but be a little amused, and helped her wipe the stains on the corners of her mouth: "She and Mrs. Le are old acquaintances, and the transactions we did with the palace before were basically obtained through Concubine Shu. ”
"There are a lot of rules in the palace, right?" Zhao Xiaoxi has already begun to retreat at this time, no matter how much business the lady has attracted to them with the hope card, but let her go into the palace for a run, she still doesn't dare: "If I say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing, what can I do if I can't get out of the palace?" Will Xianggong also go with him? No, men can't enter the back court, right? ”
"I can't." Seeing her so timid, Xiao Jingrui's heart tightened: "It's okay, let's talk to Mrs. Le in person, it's okay if you don't go." ”
"Is it okay not to go?" Zhao Xiaoxi made a sudden mistake in his heart, thinking that as long as the people in the palace were a little powerful, they basically had the power of life and death. Not to mention that the ladies in the harem are useless, as long as they blow the pillow wind, the emperor can move his little finger and pinch her to death. Zhao Xiaoxi shook his head, his face was like ashes: "Forget it, if you enter the palace, you will enter the palace, but it's just to put on makeup, I can do it." ”
"Xiangguo just mentioned this matter to his father, it doesn't matter if the lady agrees or not."
said so, but once the one in the palace was rejected by her, a little person, he would definitely feel frustrated. I don't know what perverted way to torture her when the time comes!
Anyway, she is also a person with a bit of social status now, and she can't act recklessly. Zhao Xiaoxi sighed and glanced at Xiao Jingrui helplessly: "Since Xiangguo mentioned it to his father, it must be the mother in the palace who insists on doing so, and we can't refuse." Mrs. Le is very concerned about our hope cards, why can't you be an ungrateful person? ”
The two of them reached a preliminary consensus, and Zhao Xiaoxi sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was a matter of resignation.
Early the next morning, Zhao Xiaoxi was still asleep, but he was woken up by Wu'er. only said that Mrs. Xiangfu and the eldest lady came over, and they didn't know what to do with Zhao Xiaoxi, they all had a smile on their faces, as if there was something very good.
When the two big men came to visit in person, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't dare to make a mistake, so he got dressed and got up, washed and dressed up. When I saw Mrs. Le, it was already after a stick of incense.
Fortunately, Wu'er was sensible and made them hot coffee, and the two of them were gossiping while drinking coffee in the pavilion at this moment.
Seeing Zhao Xiaoxi coming, Le Lin laughed twice happily. It's been a few days since I've seen this eldest lady, and as usual, she has a graceful figure, light as a firefly, and a pair of eyes looking forward to Shenfei, which is very beautiful.
Today, I only put on a light makeup, but I am delicate but not demonic, outstanding, with that goose-yellow velvet dress, the whole person looks extraordinarily precious and youthful.
When Zhao Xiaoxi looked at her, Le Linzhi was also observing Zhao Xiaoxi. She was a little surprised, thinking to herself, this person has obviously become the young lady of the Hou Mansion, or the big shopkeeper of the dignified hope card, why is he so unkempt? It's not the same as the first time I saw her.
Zhao Xiaoxi, who is still wearing a gray-white ramie robe, is also wearing a big cashmere scarf outside. This is a new product that has not yet been launched, and when these two pieces are matched, it is very rare to have a feeling of fairy wind and bones.
Without makeup, she had a hibiscus face, and she was smiling sweetly and politely at them. I walked around slowly from the eaves of the porch, and there was not even a girl by my side.
"Why are Mrs. Le and Miss Le free today?" Zhao Xiaoxi smiled, and poured them two cups of coffee very politely: "This is a cappuccino, and it is a new product that has not yet been launched." ”
"We're in for a blessed day." Le Linzhi's smile grew, and then looked at Zhao Xiaoxi's increasingly white skin, and said busily: "Zhao Xiaoniang seems to be a lot brighter again, how is this skin maintained?" It looks ruddy and fair, and it looks good. ”
"I used a whitening and brightening serum." Zhao Xiaoxi was a little embarrassed and touched his little face.
This essence is now being sold in supermarkets, and the big guys are more keen on anti-aging essence, so the sales of this whitening essence are not good.
Hearing Zhao Xiaoxi say this, Le Linzhi has quietly added the whitening and brightening essence to the shopping cart in her heart, and will go home to buy it later, and also arrange the whitening project.
"Today, we are here to thank you, Little Lady Zhao." Mrs. Le has always been polite and thoughtful, and she also prepared a gift.
It was a small, delicate sandalwood box, right next to her. Zhao Xiaoxi hadn't noticed it just now, but when he looked at it carefully, he only felt that the workmanship of the box was really good.
"This is my new jade bracelet from some time ago." Mrs. Le slowly opened the sandalwood box in her hand, and there was a jade bracelet with an excellent water head inside. Zhao Xiaoxi has never pursued these things, but he is also happy when he looks at the jade bracelet with such a good condition.
However, the things in the hands of this lady are not cheap, and Zhao Xiaoxi is a little hot to hold such a valuable gift.
"Speaking of which, I should thank you for Mrs. Le." Zhao Xiaoxi sat quietly on the side, the smile on his face slowly spreading, as if the whole pore was laughing: "Originally, I couldn't have done the business in the palace, that is, because of Mrs. Le, you fought for our hope cards behind your back, so that we have the benefits we have now." ”
"What's the benefit?" Mrs. Le waved her hand and sighed: "They all said that you want the brand things to be easy to use and the clothes to wear." At the end of the day, I've got a good reputation for pulling strings for you. This time, the lady invited you to the palace to put on makeup for her, and she also heard that your makeup skills are good. ”
The ladies in the palace all want to make themselves the most beautiful woman in the world, so they almost don't ask the magic mirror. Zhao Xiaoxi was a little embarrassed, but his face was not revealing at all: "Concubine Shu looks down on me, I don't know when I need to enter the palace?" ”
"It's only five days later." Mrs. Le held Zhao Xiaoxi's hand and put the jade bracelet on her very directly: "Zhao Xiaoniang's hands are white, and wearing this jade bracelet is the most beautiful." ”
Looking at this flattering look and listening to this hypocritical praise, Zhao Xiaoxi got goosebumps all over his body. This lady was not like this before, it used to be called a dignified, that was called a showman, and that was called an atmosphere.
Could it be that now that she has become the young lady of the Hou Mansion, her craftsmanship is very valued by the lady in the palace, so that this eldest lady is also impressed by her? Zhao Xiaoxi didn't dare to take Qiao, upholding the principle of courtesy, and said busily: "I heard from Granny Bai before that Mrs. Le wants to make a purple-gray velvet dress skirt?" ”
"Yes, but Granny Bai said at the time that there was no such material." Mrs. Le was very sorry and sighed: "The velvet skirt is really good-looking, but in terms of color, it doesn't really appeal to me." I like that gray-purple color, and I told Granny Bai, who knows that this color is not available yet. ”
"Since Mrs. Le likes it, I'll make one for you." Zhao Xiaoxi touched his little nose, a little embarrassed.
After receiving such a valuable jade bracelet from others, it is not good to return the gift at all. This person is Mrs. Xiangguo again, and she has seen all kinds of good things, Zhao Xiaoxi thought, she can't get ordinary things, so it's better to give her what she wants the most.
Fortunately, the velvet dress skirt is not a cheap product, and she is happy to buy it.
"That's a good dare!" Mrs. Le was really happy and smiled happily.
Le Linzhi, who was sitting on the side, puffed out her mouth and sighed at Zhao Xiaoxi: "I haven't bought all the pins sold in the supermarket, when will Zhao Xiaoniang replenish the stock, can I leave a set?" ”
A? Obedient Long Mile Long, so arrogant? Zhao Xiaoxi glanced at the jade bracelet he was wearing, gritted his teeth, and gritted his teeth: "Since Miss Le likes it, then I will send someone to send a set to the house tomorrow." ”
"This pin is exquisite, and it's not cheap!" Lingzhi smiled at her, and she didn't know if she was joking with her or something else: "Little lady Zhao, you are really willing." ”
What can I do if I am reluctant? Everyone has given such a valuable gift. Zhao Xiaoxi's heart was dripping blood, but he still pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled at the two of them: "We are all people who often come and go, what is there to be reluctant to give." I'm a layman, and I haven't been in the palace yet! I don't know what to pay attention to when entering the palace? ”
"Let's enter the palace together, don't be afraid." Le Linzhi patted Zhao Xiaoxi's smooth and tender little hand, lowered her voice and giggled twice: "The people in the palace are also people, and they all know that Zhao Xiaoniang's status is now expensive, and she will definitely not embarrass you." When the makeup of the lady concubine is finished, it is okay to stay in the palace for dinner if you want to, and it is okay if you don't want to, let's go out of the palace together. ”
This doesn't sound so scary, Zhao Xiaoxi seems to have taken a reassuring pill, hehe smiled, and nodded.
Five days later, on Concubine Shu's birthday, Zhao Xiaoxi followed the eldest lady and the eldest lady of the Lejia family into the palace together.
Sure enough, this palace is magnificent, and the low pressure is overwhelming.
When he arrived at Concubine Shu's dormitory and saw the legendary Concubine Shuniang, Zhao Xiaoxi was shocked.
