There are a lot of patterns in the frames.

There are simple and low-key carved wooden frames, as well as gorgeous and ostentatious cloisonné enamel and brilliant gold frames, which are inlaid with jewels and gemstones, which look very luxurious.

Compared with the previous bronze mirrors, these mirrors not only shine more clearly, but also have a lot of articles on the frame.

Cui Yanran was not as wealthy as Su Jinli, and she was stunned when she looked at those gold and jade jewelry, cloisonné enamel, and the whole person. In her opinion, these frames are too extravagant!

She secretly glanced at Su Jinli, and couldn't help but think in her heart: No wonder the prince always envies Princess Qin for getting the treasures of Treasure Mountain, just by looking at these frames, she can guess how rich Princess Qin is.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at the box she brought.

The gift she brought was a painting she had recently painted, although this painting was carefully painted by her, but compared with Princess Qin's gift, it was too shabby.

Cui Yanran couldn't help but be a little worried that Empress Zhang would be disgusted.

Empress Zhang smiled kindly.

She asked Su Jinli with a smile: "These mirrors are much bigger than last time, are they really made of silver and glass?" ”

"After returning to my mother, I did use silver and glass, silver is brighter, and it is used as a mirror to reflect more clearly."

Su Jinli smiled well-behaved, and said generously, "Actually, these mirrors are not big enough, and they will be made bigger later, like dressing mirrors of equal height, which can see the whole body clearly." ”

When Empress Zhang heard her say this, she couldn't help but feel a little moved. It's just that in front of her two daughters-in-law, she can't behave too eagerly, and she must look like a queen.

So she just smiled with satisfaction: "Sounds good, you have a heart." ”

After speaking, she looked at Cui Yanran again: "What did you bring?" Take a look at Hongu. ”

Although Cui Yanran was a little ashamed, after hearing these words, she still asked people to open the box she brought, took out a scroll of paintings from it, and gently unfolded it.

She painted a picture of Guanyin, adding some light and shadow techniques to it, looking at the previous Guanyin picture to be more three-dimensional and vivid.

Su Jinli looked at it curiously and admired Cui Yanran a little more.

Cui Yanran's painting is indeed good.

However, after reading her sketches, you can understand the light and shadow techniques of light and shadow alone, and integrate them into traditional painting methods, which is indeed very talented.

With Cui Yanran's temperament, this painting method is thought to have been figured out by her alone.

If that's the case, then her talent for painting is really not there.

It's a pity that Chu Xuan, the king of Jin, is afraid that he doesn't like these calligraphy and paintings very much. No matter how good she paints, Chu Xuan probably won't be able to appreciate it.

Su Jinli glanced at Cui Yanran, and suddenly felt that she could develop more in makeup.

However, she only thought about it in her heart, and most of the current makeup powder was added to lead powder to make her skin appear white.

This lead is not a good thing, if you paint it regularly, your skin will become dull over time, and it will accumulate toxins in your body.

Cui Yanran was already poisoned, and if she painted these again, I was afraid that it would hurt her body even more.

Fortunately, she has purple jasmine in her space, which can be planted on the farm.

The flower seeds of purple jasmine can be used to make makeup powder, which is much safer than lead powder.

Empress Zhang looked at the open statue of Guanyin, smiled and praised: "This painting method is novel, it just so happens that there is a lack of a Guanyin statue in the palace recently, so you sent it." ”

Cui Yanran was originally very apprehensive, but after hearing this, she knew that it was Queen Zhang who intended to lift her, and a smile quickly appeared on her face.

But he still said modestly: "This painting method is not created by Erchen, the last palace banquet, Erchen saw the painting painted by the second sister-in-law, so he was inspired, and he tried to paint some after going back, and the queen mother liked it." ”

"You've got a heart, too." Empress Zhang praised, "This palace can see that you can paint like this, you must have put a lot of thought into it." ”

Cui Yanran couldn't help blushing.

I don't want Empress Zhang to say next: "This palace knows that you are a good boy, and you like to draw some danqing on weekdays." But painting too diligently always hurts your eyes, and even though you're still young, don't spoil your body. ”

Cui Yanran's face changed, and she hurriedly said: "Yes, Erchen remembers the teachings of the queen mother. ”

Seeing that she seemed to be frightened, Empress Zhang couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart, and couldn't help but look at Su Jinli.

But seeing that she was still down-to-earth and generous, and her demeanor was calm, I thought a little higher of her in my heart.

She knew that Cui Yanran was very good, but her temperament was already a little restrained, and after the poisoning, she became even more cautious.

This kind of temperament is really reassuring.

It's just that in front of Su Jinli, she doesn't have much to say. If you really want to say it, Cui Yanran can't listen to it if she wants to, so she can only persuade her later.

Thinking of this, she said some reassuring words again, and asked Cui Yanran to pick out the mirror, and then asked the palace people to put away all the remaining mirrors.

……

Su Jinli and Cui Yanran accompanied Queen Zhang to lunch, and then said goodbye and left.

After leaving Qifeng Palace, Su Jinli looked at the fat powder on Cui Yanran's face, and originally wanted to persuade a few words. But thinking of Cui Yanran's temperament, she silently changed her mind.

Compared with the last time I met, Cui Yanran's temperament seems to have changed a little.

If she said something, Cui Yanran might think about it more.

It's better to let Chu Yan talk to Chu Xuan.

If it was Chu Xuan's persuasion, Cui Yanran would definitely be more able to listen.

But Cui Yanran took the initiative to talk to her: "Sister Su, you are really amazing, the mirror is as bright as water, except for the last palace banquet, my sister has really never seen it, no wonder the prince has always been thinking about this mirror." ”

Su Jinli immediately started the business and blew each other: "It's nothing, it's just mirrors." It's you, the painted Guanyin statue is lifelike, it's really amazing. ”

When Cui Yanran heard this, the smile on her face was a little more, but she was accustomed to being modest: "Sister, I'm nothing, if I hadn't seen your paintings last time, I wouldn't have thought of this." What's more, compared to what I painted, what you drew at the beginning is vivid. ”

The two walked and blew each other in business.

It wasn't until they met Chu Yan and Chu Xuan that they stopped blowing each other all the way and went back to their respective homes.

Soon, the news that Chu Yan sent a mirror to Emperor Yong'an spread in the capital.

This news was not directly published in the newspaper, after all, it involved Emperor Yong'an and the Empress, even if someone knew, they would not have the courage to publish it, otherwise a private peeping palace would have his hat buttoned down, and he would not know how to die.

But even without a newspaper, the news spread very quickly.

These days, the capital is full of discussions and suspicions about mirrors.

There are also many dignitaries and dignitaries, all of whom are thinking about the mirrors made of silver and glass!

Now, they've finally arrived!
