And in the following time, the fifth princess also asked her palace maid to fetch her snail Dai.

This Luo Zidai, the emperor only gave it to a few concubines in the harem, and she was the only one among the princesses, so the five princesses were once proud and were reluctant to use it.

Now, Tang Chu actually took ordinary rouge gouache as a gift for her, isn't this treating her as a fool?

The fifth princess decided that she must teach Tang Chu a lesson today.

After about a stick of incense, the palace maid of the fifth princess had already brought Luo Zidai over.

Luozidai is a specialty of Daluo country, which is made of a special material in their local area, which is more delicate than all the rouge gouache seen on the market, so it is loved by the nobles, however, these noblewomen in the capital can only use ordinary luozidai, and the real top is still paid tribute to the palace, such as this box in the hands of the five princesses.

Zhao Zhenzhu and Concubine Yun on the left and right sides of the emperor sat upright.

Concubine Yun smiled and said to Zhao Zhenzhu, "It seems that Miss Tang is losing today, we also have that snail dai in our hands, you and I have used the rouge gouache from Tang Ji Rouge Shop, although it is also very good, but it is still a little worse than the top snail dai." ”

Her words made Zhao Zhenzhu turn his head, Zhao Zhenzhu did not agree with her, but said, "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, how do you know that the Tang family's rouge gouache is still the same as it was at the beginning?" ”

Concubine Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, of course she knew, because the most in her palace was the rouge gouache from Tang Ji's rouge shop, and few people knew about this matter except for her personal palace maid.

It was all dedicated to her by the wives of some officials below, originally because of Tang Chu's relationship, she didn't want to use it, but the things in Tang Ji's rouge shop were really good, and they were several grades higher than the other rouge gouaches.

And although she also has the top snail Dai of Da Luo Country in her hand, it is just a small box, and it is gone when she uses it, and she usually uses that snail Dai to show off in front of other concubines, how can she use it every day?

Zhao Zhenzhu didn't know what rouge gouache Concubine Yun used, and there would be no change if she knew, and she herself was indeed using the rouge gouache that Tang Chu sent her every day, and every time Tang Ji rouge paved a new style, it would definitely be sent to the palace.

There is already a lot of rouge gouache in her hand, and the excess is given to those women in the capital, although I don't know if those people are using it or not, whether they cherish it, but she is also seriously helping Tang Chu to start the reputation of Tang Ji rouge shop.

The palace maid had already returned, and the fifth princess raised her head arrogantly, walked in front of Tang Chu and hurriedly said, "Since the things have arrived, let's take a look at whose rouge gouache is more delicate." ”

Said that, let people bring two water cups, for the inspection of rouge gouache, there is no need to paint makeup on people's faces, because this is really a waste, even if Tang Chu is willing to paint on his face, the fifth princess herself is not willing, her snail Dai is only a little bit, and she can only wait until next year when she runs out.

Tang Chu smiled and opened the rouge gouache in his shop, and the delicate wooden box on the outside was suddenly opened, revealing a more beautiful metal box inside.

There were boxes of various shapes, some rectangular and some round, and everyone couldn't help but be confused when they saw it, because it was different from the rouge gouache boxes they had seen.

Tang Chu picked up a box of rouge gouache, the small box was round, after opening it, everyone could clearly see that one side was a shiny object, and the other side was rouge gouache.

"Oh my God, it's a mirror, and I put it in it!" Someone exclaimed!

"Yes, this is the mirror, Tang Ji Rouge Shop has purchased a large number of mirrors in Nanyang, and these are smoothed mercury mirrors, which are clearer and can be used by the ladies when they are touching up their makeup outside."

Tang Chu's explanation made people can't help but want to take a closer look, but they all restrained themselves, because this is in the palace, and they can't help it.

The fifth princess was the closest to Tang Chu, and she clearly saw that half of Tang Chu's face was reflected on it, which was very clear.

There was already a faint feeling of discomfort in her heart, and she looked at Zou Shiyan on the other side who was also looking at Tang Chu with appreciative eyes, and her heart was even more uncomfortable.

"Humph! Isn't it just a small mirror? It's just opportunistic! ”

The fifth princess's ridicule did not make Tang Chu angry, I saw that she just smiled slightly, as if she didn't hear it, and she didn't lose her temper because of this bitter language, in the eyes of all the ladies and nobles, this time, she was immediate.

"Okay, don't talk about it anymore, since everything has been brought, let's compare, whose rouge gouache is easy to use, if the Tang family wins, then all the concubines in the palace will also use the Tang family's rouge gouache!"

What the?

The emperor's words really shocked everyone present.

And Tang Chu also raised his head, only to see the emperor looking at her with a smile, and also at Zou Shiyan beside her.

Tang Chu and Zou Shiyan immediately knelt down and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live......"

The two of them spoke in unison, and they were so right, in the eyes of many people at the scene, they felt that they were a match made in heaven.

Tang Chu looked at the emperor who was high above, originally she thought that no matter what the result was, this emperor would definitely stand on the side of the fifth princess, after all, her move could be regarded as a challenge to the royal family.

But I didn't expect that the emperor really just regarded this matter as a game.

After thinking for a while, Tang Chu understood that she was thinking about it.

A light smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Tang Chu glanced at Zou Shiyan next to him, and the other party also looked at it, and raised his eyebrows, as if asking what was wrong.

Above the main hall, Tang Chu couldn't whisper to him, so he shook his head gently.

But now she figured it out.

Although today's rouge gouache competition was decided temporarily, it took root in the emperor's heart.

If the Tang family can really win, it will definitely be as the emperor wants.

Why?

Because any emperor will want to export the things produced by his country to the country of the car, which is also the embodiment of national prosperity. If the rouge gouache produced by the Tang family can be compared to Daluo country, this is a beginning, and they don't need to import rouge gouache from Daluo country, but can let the Chinese people use their own rouge gouache.

And there is another important reason, that is, Zou Shiyan.

Zou Shiyan's talent is unattainable for any emperor.
