Twenty sunrises
It's night.
Tai Chi Temple.
Li Zhi heard Bi De'an's report, and was silent for a while, and then said softly:
Mei Niang thought about it this time, but maybe those people could do what she wanted......
What the first uncle would think, no one knows......
Maybe my uncle will be able to understand Mei Niang's hard work! β
Wang De, who was standing on one side, heard this, but smiled faintly and nodded in response:
Although the Lord's concerns are justified, they are not necessarily when you think about them.
Not to mention anything else, my lord, since Zhaoyi Niangniang has already made up such intentions, she naturally predicted what would happen early.
In that case, we don't have to worry too much.
No one can say for sure, under this hard work, Uncle Yuan will still ignore it as before? β
When Li Zhi heard this, he could only be silent for a while, and then said softly for a while:
"Since you've all said so......
That's it!
There's just one thing. β
Li Zhi raised his head and looked at Wang Dedao:
"When Mei Niang was three years old, she entered the palace and was favored by the queen mother, and gave the female Hua Chuan as an ornament.
Wang De nodded yes, and said:
"In fact, the treasure that the queen mother got back then was not only this female Hua Chuan - it became a whole set of ornaments......
Does the Lord mean to give it all to Zhaoyi Niangniang? β
Li Zhi nodded, and said:
"This female Hua Chuan was rewarded to Mei Niang by the queen mother back then, and naturally my uncle will be touched when he sees it.
And the other few things were also given by the queen mother when she was still the princess of Qin, presumably Mei Niang brought it, first, it was not rude or uncontrollable, and second, no one could say that Mei Niang was out of order......
So in terms of it, you still have to make a set of dramas to watch. β
Wang De nodded yes without stopping when he heard this, and said with a smile:
But the Lord said this, but he was very true.
What's more, there's another thing -- that thing has a different meaning --
In the end, it was the first queen mother who gave it to Zhaoyi Niangniang.
That's all there is to it......
In the entire Tang Dynasty, only Zhaoyi Niangniang has this thing......
Not even a queen yet! β
Li Zhi looked up sharply.
The fifteenth day of the first month of the third year of Yonghui.
Tang Gaozong Li ruled the world, the inner palace established the political palace to guard the lady Wu, Fengdu knew the etiquette, the etiquette was constant, the wisdom was outstanding, and the dragon heir was given the first of the nine concubines and the position of the second grade Zhaoyi.
For a time, the world celebrated.
Next.
In the Yanjia Palace.
Just after the end of the hour, Mei Niang, who had lived here temporarily the first night, got up.
Ryan shook the white jade dust in his hand and let out a long breath:
"Waitβ"
Immediately, the yarn rose, and a group of goose-yellow palace clothes waiters, fish penetrated, each with pure flower water, balsam, jade snow and other things in their hands, one by one, divided into double rows, hanging shoulders and standing.
As soon as Ryan's hand was reversed, the white jade dust was inserted in the back of his neck, but he stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand to take the silver basin in the hands of a small servant headed by a servant, and placed it on a high position in the main hall, burning incense, and wrapping the basin around the basin with incense for three weeks.
(To illustrate here, the net number here is equivalent to our handwashing station today.) It is usually made of wood, and the surface decoration can be colored. But there was something different about what was used in the court.
This warm and clean few can still be seen occasionally in some rural areas in southwest Henan.
What the hell is it? In fact, to make it clear, it is an inner furnace made of bronze or brass, and the outside is decorated with a whole piece of kodama carving, and there is a concave on several sides, just enough to put down the basin for washing the face, and the inside is a hollow case. In winter, the inner layer of this warm and clean can be burned with charcoal fire, and after the smoke rises to the top and warms the basin made of metal or other things that are easy to conduct heat on the surface of the warm surface, it will become cold due to the heat extraction, sink down, and be emitted from the hollow holes around a few feet, so that the hot water contained in it will not be washed and washed and cold, and when the green smoke rises from the feet, it is quite wonderful. There were even some nobles and court people who later became popular to add spices to this charcoal stove, in order to achieve the beauty of incense on the body at the same time.
The reason why it is designed like this is related to the fact that during the Sui and Tang dynasties, China's national power was at its peak, and women and even men paid considerable attention to personal grooming.
According to the information, there was a male official in the Tang Dynasty because he was ashamed because he had less than two quarters of an hour to clean his face in the morning, and he was very sad because of this, and even cried bitterly in the court to blame himself for the crime of disrespect......
It can be seen how much people at that time paid attention to personal etiquette...... οΌ
Mei Niang bent down and hung her head, and immediately Yuru and Yuming were left and right behind her, and she took the long black hair that reached the ground in her hand, holding it carefully, and not teaching the hair to fall apart.
And Ryan took the water and other things from the hand of the little waiter who was standing with tea and handed it to Mei Niang, beckoned to the little waiter to hold a silver gargle on one side, and after serving Mei Niang to clean her mouth, she nodded and signaled that she could smoke incense and clean her face.
Wen Niang, who was waiting on the side, immediately stepped forward, took the spice box from the hand of the little maid who followed forward from the side, and scooped a few spoonfuls of spices with a silver spoon in a fragrant pound (the tool used to pound incense is very small, easy to grind, there is a certain space up and down, and there is a thin grid in between, which can filter large pieces of spices), and grinded it carefully, where the spices are controlled to burn evenly), put the spices.
Then he knelt down and said softly:
"Please clean your face."
Mei Niang nodded, silently, sat silently on the small stool in front of her, put her hands on her knees, and bent down slightly.
Immediately, Ruian Feng Xiangdou (I have introduced the things used by the ancients when bathing, you can take a look, it is similar to this, it plays the role of soap), Wen Niang holds a fine handkerchief, and cleans her face for Mei Niang.
First take the new flowers to make incense powder and mix with fragrant beans, and then use water slightly and wet into a paste, carefully apply it on Mei Niang's face, Mei Niang straightened her back, Wen Niang's slender jade fingers slowly slid across her cheeks, carefully rubbed and massaged, three times, before inviting Mei Niang to lean over, wash off the incense, beckoned to call the second team of waiters, change the water.
The second time the water came up, but it was a basin of boiling water, resting on the net table, and immediately sat up with some small needlepoint blisters, Wen Niang took the flower juice paste from the hands of the little waiter, asked Mei Niang to look back, carefully dressed, still pressed three times, and then asked her to bend over the water, steaming its surface with hot steam, a full moment of time, then recruited the last team of waiters, change the water.
The third time the water came, clear water, lukewarm, soaked in a sufficient amount of big red petals, Wen Niang took a fine handkerchief, soaked it in water, wrung it out, and carefully wiped it on Mei Niang's face, and then changed a towel, entered the water, soaked, wrung out, and wiped it......
This is done three or four times, until Mei Niang's snow skin is slightly pink, and it is as good as a good color like a peach blossom in three springs, which is considered to be the completion of the cleansing.
Wen Niang let out a sigh of relief, straightened up, and gently wiped Mei Niang's face before turning around and waving to the next team of waiters.
Soon, the attendants hurriedly stepped forward, carried away all the things, and replaced them with a circle chair with a surprisingly wide back, like a large fan.
Mei Niang got up, turned around and sat on the chair, and her long hair was also moved to the back of the chair by the Yu sisters.
The waiter brought three cushions and placed them on the left and right sides of Mei Niang, and behind her.
Wen Niang was behind, and the Yu sisters knelt down on the left and right, reached out and took Mei Niang's long black hair in their hands, took sesame oil from the gold plate held by Liu'er and Ruian on one side, and carefully combed Mei Niang when she bathed in the morning, until there was still some slight moisturizing black hair at the moment.
Apply sesame oil, comb, then comb, then comb......
After combing a cup of tea over and over again, my hair can be considered smooth.
