Chapter 49: The Last Game
Sheng Zi breathed a sigh of relief, with the Queen Mother and Princess Yu here, Princess Guide couldn't do anything.
The Empress Dowager saw the reluctant look on Princess Guide's face and smiled: "What's wrong with Guide, do you think Princess Mourning and Princess Yu are old?" Don't you understand the beauty and ugliness of your little girl? ”
The Queen Mother was joking, but Princess Guide didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly put on a smiling face and pouted to the Queen Mother:
"The emperor's grandmother is willing to bully Guide and won't say good things, Guide listens to the people in the palace, when the emperor's grandmother used to be, it was the real country and the city!"
The Queen Mother sighed: "It's all those slaves who chew their tongues, when the mourning family is young, it's not as good as your little girls now....."
Princess Guide coquettishly: "Don't be modest with the imperial grandmother, my mother always said that she didn't look like the imperial grandmother, and always said that if only she was half as good-looking as the imperial grandmother, then she wouldn't marry her father!" ”
She said this in a hurry, which made the Queen Mother lean back and back: "Anyang, this child, actually said these words to you, see that the mourning family will not scold her next time, and the concubine will too, Anyang will not be angry when he talks like this." ”
Princess Yu smiled on the side, raised her head, and her eyes met Sheng Zi'an, and she nodded to Sheng Zi'an quietly.
said that it was fair, so Sheng Zi'an and Princess Guide each selected a palace maid, went to the side room to make up, and finally went to the hall to compete, and the queen mother took Princess Yu to the main hall to drink tea.
Princess Guide first chose a palace maid with a very gorgeous appearance, this palace maid is the most beautiful one among these people, and after Princess Guide chose it, she also raised her chin towards Sheng Zi'an.
Sheng Zi'an ignored her, still very calm, carefully observing the appearance of these palace maids.
Although the foundation is very important, but later, makeup has been called hair replacement, and with comparison, it is better to reflect the technique, isn't it?
Sheng Zi'an finally chose a slender palace maid, who looked very delicate, and it didn't look amazing at first glance, but after careful inspection, it had a different taste.
Princess Guide has always lived in a fiefdom, which is located in a remote area, and her aesthetic for women is naturally different from that of the capital. Sheng Zi'an felt that in the capital, a woman like the Queen Mother should still like subtle and solemn makeup.
And the palace maid selected by Princess Guide is really gorgeous, but elders like the Queen Mother don't like it very much.
Entering the room on the side, there were all kinds of makeup supplies, Sheng Zi'an asked the palace maid to wait on the side first, and carefully checked them one by one, what they were for.
The palace maid was very nervous, and when Sheng Zi'an put her hand on her face, she kept shrinking her body back.
"Don't move." Sheng Zi'an pressed her shoulder.
"Miss Sheng... Otherwise, you sit and the slave stands? ”
She asked timidly.
"No, you can sit in peace." Sheng Zi'an carefully looked at the outline of the palace maid's facial features, and pondered how to modify it in her heart.
The palace maid wanted to say something, but was stopped by Sheng Zi'an: "You are really respectful when you help me achieve victory, sit down well, don't move." ”
Her eyebrows and eyes are the gentle lines of the oriental style unique to oriental women, her lips are not big, her complexion is very white, and the overall look is a little thin.
Sheng Zi'an first used the grease to paint her face, first put a foundation, and wait for the makeup powder to be on her face.
Then the makeup powder that fits the skin tone is illuminated, evenly applied on the face, and a pair of crescent eyebrows are finely outlined with eyebrow powder.
The eyes are lengthened at the end of the eyes, and there is a position at the lower corner of the eye, which is gently swept over with dark powder, making the woman look more weak and innocent, and the eyes are particularly smart on the face.
Dai's eyebrows are printed in a slight green, and the sandalwood mouth is thin red.
In order to cope with this, Sheng Zi'an first painted the lips of the palace maid with makeup powder, and then slowly redrew the outline of the lips with a brush, and the color of cinnabar was extremely amazing when brushed.
Sheng Zi'an rummaged on the shelf for a long time, and finally found what he wanted, Hua Tian.
Women in this dynasty rarely use Huadian, even if they are women in the palace, it is not very common, Sheng Zi'an carefully put the plum blossom-shaped Huadian on the center of the palace maid's eyebrows.
Combing her hair is not something Sheng Zi'an can do, but fortunately, there are several grandmothers in the room who comb their hair, and they comb a simple bun for the palace maid according to Sheng Zi'an.
With a set of pearls and jadeite heads, with moon-white palace makeup, the whole person looks very elegant.
The stipulated time was one and a half hours, and Sheng Zi'an only took an hour to finish, but Princess Guide didn't move at all.
The people on Princess Guide's side heard that Sheng Zi'an was over so soon, so they hurriedly went back and told Princess Guide.
Princess Guide is proud, the Sheng family, usually don't know how to dress up at first glance, but now she should give up on herself, and she will make a fool of herself later, right? Thinking of this, Princess Guide instructed her subordinates to change the palace maid's clothes, which were a water-red palace dress.
When the time came, Princess Guide was late.
The eunuchs beside the Empress Dowager came in and led the two palace maids out respectively and in front of the Empress Dowager and Princess Yu.
Princess Guide and Sheng Zi'an then passed, and the Queen Mother was looking at the two palace maids in front of her with interest at this time.
Sheng Zi'an was also looking at the palace maid dressed up by Princess Guide, and as expected, Princess Guide dressed the woman extremely gorgeously, and her eyes turned with style.
It is an extremely stark contrast to the palace maid on her side.
Princess Guide was also looking at Sheng Zi'an's side, gritting her teeth, sure enough, Sheng Zi'an just couldn't get along with herself, if the two of them were dressed in the same style, it would be easy to tell the difference, but Sheng Zi'an and her own style were very different.
Sheng Zi'an didn't waste time on Princess Guide, but quietly observed the Queen Mother's expression, and sure enough, when the Queen Mother looked at Princess Guide's dress, there was a little displeasure in her eyes.
Come to think of it, the Queen Mother has been in charge of the harem all her life, how can she like a woman who is too gorgeous and difficult to control at first glance?
"Guide and the Sheng family girls are really good craftsmen, the mourning family looks at it, the makeup girls in this palace are not as good as they paint!"
"The emperor's grandmother has won the award......" Guide agreed happily.
Because neither the Queen Mother nor Princess Yu knew which palace maid Sheng Zi'an and Princess Guide had chosen, the two of them just chose what they liked.
Princess Yu is a simple character, and she blessed the Queen Mother: "Then the concubine body will talk about it first?" ”
"Okay, you talk about it first, let's see if it's the one he likes with the mourning family?"
Princess Yu nodded, looked at it carefully again, and walked to the palace maid dressed up by Sheng Zi'an.
"The concubine likes this makeup, it is fresh and elegant, highlighting the woman's temperament, the makeup is very thin, the color looks so good, and this flower is so beautiful...... The concubine also used it when she was young! ”
The Queen Mother smiled: "What is it when you were young?" You're young now, too! If you like Huadian, you can use it, what's so embarrassing? ”
The Queen Mother said, beckoned the palace maid to step forward, and also looked at Hua Tian carefully.
"Queen Mother, don't laugh at the concubine, the children are all at the age of marrying, how can the concubine be young?"
The Queen Mother thought for a while, and pointed to the palace maid dressed as Princess Guide: "The mourning family likes that!" ”
Princess Guide was immediately overjoyed.
"When the mourning family is old, they like to look at some bright colors, and the mourning family looks at this water-red dress, it looks good!"
Sheng Zi'an was not surprised by the Queen Mother's choice at all, if the Queen Mother also chose the same as Princess Yu, then Sheng Zi'an would win directly, just now the Queen Mother specially mentioned that the emperor would come over to take a look, so this result is naturally for the emperor to decide.
Sure enough, after a while, the voice of the eunuch came from outside: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Then I saw a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow embroidered dragon pattern robe, walked in, and he first saluted the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother! ”
Princess Yu stood up and saluted the emperor, and the emperor waved his hand: "It's all a family, don't be so polite." ”
Sheng Zi'an's identity is not enough, she is not a princess now, so she bowed down.
After the emperor noticed it, he also nodded: "The girl of the Sheng family, right?" Get up. ”
"I heard from the queen mother, what are you comparing, who wears better makeup, I think it's strange, let's take a look, which two are the paintings? Let me see. ”
The two palace maids kneeling on the ground dared to raise their heads, the emperor looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "The painting is quite good-looking, I don't know if the winner will be decided?" ”
The Queen Mother waved her hand: "The mourning family and Princess Yu like it differently!" Just waiting for the emperor to come and see, you have a golden mouth, help these two girls decide the victory, no one is allowed to be unconvinced! ”
When the Queen Mother said this, she glanced at Princess Guide with a smile, and Princess Guide naturally knew what it meant, and she didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the emperor.
The emperor nodded: "Then I will take a good look." ”
Where have the two palace maids seen the emperor's face? was also looked at by the emperor, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.
The emperor first looked at the palace maid on Princess Guide's side, and just nodded indifferently.
When she saw the palace maid on Sheng Zi'an's side, the palace maid didn't know if she felt shy, and a touch of blush flew on her face, but she added a little different color, looking elegant and gentle.
Sheng Zi'an saw a flash of surprise in the emperor's eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the victory and defeat had been divided.
Sure enough, the emperor pointed to the palace maid on Sheng Zi'an's side: "I think this makeup looks better, I have never seen it in the palace." ”
Princess Guide's face sank suddenly.
