"I still have some plasters to reduce swelling, and recently the master has given me some good rouge to wipe your face, you can go with me, and I will rub some medicine for you."

Cui Yan cautiously stepped forward and held Wanqing's face, only to feel that this attack was really a bit ruthless.

"Not far ahead is Chengqian Palace, it's not too late for you to go with me and go back."

Chengqian Palace?

Isn't that the concubine's bedroom?

Wanqing didn't plan to go, but when she heard that it was Chengqian Palace, she thought a little more about it, and she left at all.

Only she didn't see it, Cui Yan, who was walking in front, had a sly smile flashing in her eyes.

Although Chengqian Palace looked up, there was some distance when he walked over, and Cui Yan casually found a topic: "Which palace maid are you?" Where did you offend your master? ”

"The maid is the palace maid who serves Concubine Yan in Yaohua Palace, and she was originally dismissed by the palace maid in the Duyun Noble Palace. Concubine Yan had prejudice against her maidservant, so she only offended Niangniang. Wanqing picked some and said.

Cui Yan naturally didn't believe it: "Concubine Yan is kind, so she is naturally good." Where would you punish the palace maid for such a trivial matter, if you don't tell me the truth, I can't help you. ”

Yes, you have to tell the truth to help.

Wanqing also had her own sum in her heart, and as soon as her eyes rolled, she wanted to cry and said: "I am also a maidservant when I heard that the lady concubine of Chengqian Palace was ingenious, and she could actually make snacks with roses, so she told Concubine Yan. But she didn't want Concubine Yan to believe it, but she didn't believe it, and only said that the maid harmed her. ”

"Niangniang does make some snacks, but I don't use roses to make snacks today, and all the roses are used by Niangniang to take a bath." Cui Yan replied crisply.

Such words are the same as Mo Yan's.

No wonder Mo Yan wanted to say that roses are used for bathing, it turns out that this is really the case.

Wanqing secretly complained in her heart, and she actually caused those little eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace to be harmed.

As he spoke, he had already come to Chengqian Palace.

Cui Yan took Wanqing to enter through the corner gate at the back, and then came directly to the palace maid's residence.

"This is my room, you sit down as you like, and I'll go find the ointment." Cui Yan took Wanqing to her room, then turned around and rummaged through the cabinet.

The furnishings in the room were simple, with a table and a few chairs in the center, and Wanqing picked one up and sat down.

When I turned my head, I saw a few white cakes on the food plate in the center of the table, and I couldn't help but look at them curiously.

The palace maid of Chengqian Palace is very happy, and there are such small snacks that can be placed in the room on weekdays.

Cui Yan found a box of ointment and came out, and saw Wanqing staring at a few small cakes on the table, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, this is exactly the flower cake I just said." Our mother made a lot of it, and then gave it to us, which has been left for a long time, but it has lost its taste a little. ”

As he spoke, he pulled one and put it in Wanqing's hand: "If you don't dislike it, taste it." ”

Wanqing took a small bite, only to feel that it was extremely delicious.

"No wonder it is rumored that His Majesty is very fond of this flower cake, and it is so delicious."

"It's a bit exaggerated, and the mother may not do it for a long time. Even if you do it, you use some other flowers, and the roses are all used by the mother to take a bath. ”

Cui Yan smiled awkwardly and applied some ointment to Wanqing.

Seeing that there were bloodshot spots on Wanqing's face, she turned around and took out a small box of gold enamel from the makeup box: "This is given by our mother, and the essence extracted from rose petals is used." Niangniang called him essential oil, just a little bit, you dip a drop of water and melt it on your face. ”

Wanqing took the small box and sniffed it, and a rich aroma of roses came.

I looked at the small box carefully, and Wanqing was still a little confused.

Didn't you say that you took a bath with rose petals, why did you still make essential oils?

That's an essential oil! Niangniang also gave a small amount of things that are better than powder and rouge on weekdays, and they had to give them away for nothing.

Cui Yan felt distressed for a while, so she simply stopped watching.

"This oil is more effective than rouge gouache and can remove scars from your face. You just need to use it every day, and you won't leave a scar when you keep it. ”

Wanqing didn't expect that the essential oil would have such an effect, so she naturally received it with great joy.

The two talked for a while, and Wanqing naturally took the news in a hundred ways.

Cui Yan is a talker, but she also knows everything and speaks endlessly.

Seeing that dinner was almost coming, Wanqing had no choice but to get up and go back to Yaohua Palace, only to ask for a piece of flower cake before leaving.

Out of the yard, I saw from a distance that a few peach trees in the courtyard outside were blooming well, and the small red flowers were particularly pleasing.

Carrying a piece of flower cake in her arms, she returned to Yaohua Palace, and Wanqing didn't care about anything else, so she went to see Concubine Yan.

Concubine Yan was eating, and when she saw Wanqing's red and swollen face, she instantly lost her appetite, put down her chopsticks and shouted, "What are you doing here?" ”

Wanqing knelt down and said: "Niangniang, please forgive me, the maid should not have spared the mother's meal, but there is really an urgent report." ”

"Say it."

"Mother, please look at this."

Wanqing took out the flower cake wrapped in a handkerchief, twisted it in half, and handed it to Concubine De.

"This is the maid from a palace maid in Chengqian Palace, and it was given by the lady concubine, but the palace maid said that all the roses were used for bathing, and I thought it was made of flowers next to it."

Concubine Yan's eyes flashed, and although she was displeased, she still twisted some biscuit fillings with her fingernails, put them under her nose and smelled them.

The floral fragrance softens the sweet aroma of the syrup, but it seems a little strange, and people can't smell what kind of flowers it is.

"Do you know what kind of flower it is?" Concubine Yan wiped her hands slowly and glanced at Wanqing.

Seeing that Concubine Yan was not angry, Wanqing said her guess: "The maid came back today and always paid attention to it, there are not many flowers in the palace of Concubine Shu, such as Yueji, camellias, and chrysanthemums, which are all in full bloom, only a few oleander trees planted by the wall, but there is not a single flower." ”

As she spoke, Wanqing twisted her body and pointed out: "Those oleanders in our palace are blooming very luxuriantly!" ”

In this way, all the oleander peach blossoms must have been picked.

Concubine Yan had already made a calculation in her heart, so she asked the palace maid to pick all the oleander flowers, pickle them with salt and sugar, and wait for the next day to make the filling.

Besides, on the side of Chengqian Palace, he had just sent away the evening sunshine, and Cuiyan went to the front hall in a puff of smoke.

"! Empress! Empress! ”

"Cuiyan, you take it easy! The mother is resting! Yan Yan stopped Cui Yan at the door, and he wanted to cover Cui Yan's mouth.

On weekdays, I went out to inquire about the news, and I was always chattering, but when I returned to the palace, it was still noisy, and if someone grabbed the handle, the mother would have to be embarrassed.
