Chapter 213: Afraid of the concubine's impulsiveness
"Okay, I can't use those things around the palace, but I just take some more and go back to pick and choose, and see which ones are the most suitable, although the queen mother's birthday is coming, but the concubines in the harem have to eat and wear, you still have to take care of it."
Jing Chuchu said symbolically, this time, he just has a general idea, I don't know if he can succeed, in short, he can't leak it out before he gets it out, if it is imitated by others, then his ideas will be in vain.
Lu Zhu really didn't understand what her mother wanted to do, so she came to the Internal Affairs Office in a good manner, and she didn't even have time to prepare for others, so she didn't talk about it first, and she brought so much rouge.
If the other concubines knew what they were doing today, they would inevitably have to go to the Queen Mother to break their mouths again, although they wanted to remind them, but there were outsiders there, so she could only endure it.
It wasn't until she walked out of the Internal Affairs Mansion that Lu Zhu walked up to her with a heavy small box before she asked.
"Mother, what are we doing with so much rouge? If there happen to be concubines who need to use it, the Internal Affairs Office can't take it out at this time, so what if you go to the Queen Mother to tell the mother about the black state? Wouldn't we be too aggrieved? ”
Green Bead hesitated to send back some of the rouge in his hand.
Jing Chuchu poked her head with his hand: "This palace can warn you that these things can't be sent back, the queen mother's birthday gift depends on these things, if you send it back, then what should we take to congratulate the queen mother on her birthday?" ”
"Huh? Empress...... This ......" Luzhu was completely dumbfounded, not knowing what her mother wanted to do.
"This palace doesn't want to do anything big, that is, since we congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, we have to behave more well, isn't it, at the moment Jiangnan hydration can't be extravagant and wasteful, and take out some priceless things, isn't it annoying? Since you want to send it well, you still have to get it, so you can only bother with it. ”
Jing Chuchu fortunately had nothing to do and often turned over books, although he didn't know how to do modern things, but in ancient times, he still saw some ways to make rouge, that is, he needed to ponder and ponder.
That's right, she wanted to make a little foundation.
Although the rouge in the palace is good, it is a dry powder, and when it is used on the face, the effect will not be too good when the skin is not in good condition, especially now that the queen mother is old, it is even more necessary to keep improving, and the foundation liquid is of course a good choice.
"Mother, but what use can we get so much rouge? Although it may be a little disgusting to take out priceless things to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, but if you give so much rouge to the Queen Mother, I am afraid it will ...... The Queen Mother should be angry and angry, right? Lu Zhu's voice became smaller and smaller, he was really shocked and afraid that his mother had taken such a box of rouge and sent it to the Queen Mother's palace, this must be a clear irony, is the Queen Mother already old?
"Alas...... There are some things that I can't tell you clearly, anyway, you just do what this palace says, and don't think so much about the rest. "Jing Chuchu didn't think much about it himself, anyway, he already had an idea, so he could only put it into practice.
When Jing Chu Chu went back, he passed by the Imperial Garden again, walked around inside, and watched many flowers before going back.
Lu Zhu couldn't understand what the concubine wanted to do, but the concubine didn't tell her, although she was confused, she could only follow her and obey the order.
"Green beads, although the flowers in the imperial garden are very bright, but the fragrance is still relatively small, the smell of some flowers is too strong, it is appropriate to take a bath when you pick them off, but if you have that smell for a long time, you always feel a little tired."
She also wanted to make a little perfume, and rouge went well with perfume.
"It's just that most of the clothes of the concubines in the palace are smoked with incense, so there will always be a faint fragrance on the clothes, to be honest, it doesn't last, and after wearing it for a few hours, the fragrance will be gone."
"Luzhu, Cuiping will come back in a while and ask her what kind of special fragrance the Queen Mother likes? Are there any other favorite flowers other than roses that can't be touched? ”
Green Beads: ......
She couldn't figure out what the concubine wanted to do.
"Niangniang, what the hell are you going to do? Can you talk to the slave and maid? I don't understand anything like this, and I'm so worried. ”
Jing Chuchu shook her head invisibly, knowing that it was a bit difficult to explain, but if she didn't say it all the time, I'm afraid the girl next to her would die in a hurry, right?
"A few days ago, when the palace was reading a book, I happened to see that there was a folk home remedy, which could be mixed with those rouge powders, and turned into rouge liquid smeared on the face naturally and conformingly, and I couldn't see the appearance of the powder at all, the queen mother is getting older now, and there may be a little comfort with these things, as for what kind of smell the queen mother likes, the palace also wants to make something called perfume according to the folk home remedies, which can be sprinkled on the body or clothes, and the fragrance will last for a long time. This way, you don't have to take your clothes to smoke every day, it's simple and convenient, isn't it? ”
She knew that these things were not very valuable, but things were precious, and she was the first to take out these things, which was naturally a novelty, and if she really made them, she could use them herself.
"Niangniang is really smart, the slave maid didn't think that there was such a good way, it just so happened that these things don't sound like you need to spend a lot of money to buy, as long as you pay a little attention to yourself, you can make it, just full of Niangniang's filial piety, and there is no extravagance and waste, so that others can't catch the handle."
Lu Zhu looked at the concubine Niangniang's eyes full of reverence at this time, she could think of such a powerful method, what else could not be done?
"Don't look at this palace like this, if you hadn't happened to see a folk method a few days ago, how could you think of these ideas? Whether you can make it or not is one thing! You have to help the palace well, whether you can release the suspicion with the queen mother this time, it depends on the craftsmanship of the palace. ”
She doesn't have much confidence in her heart, but she won't give up if she doesn't try.
"Niangniang, the slave maid thinks that we can let those flour craftsmen come over to help the concubine Niangniang, they have been making these rouge powder for a long time, maybe they also have a lot of experience, and they can help Niangniang." Midori understood her thoughts, and knew that they might not be able to figure it out on their own, so they could only think about seeing if they could replace it with other methods.
"Your idea is good, but the palace is full of eyeliner, as long as we have a little movement, we can spread it to others, I'm afraid that this action of this palace today will already arouse suspicion, if you really want others to find out the heart of this palace, then everyone will be worthless if they do it normally, and they will not be able to take it to honor the queen mother at that time."
It's not that she didn't think about asking someone to help, but she really didn't know who she could rely on in the palace.
