Chapter 14 Winning the hearts of the people

To say, now there are many young girls in the backyard of King Mu's mansion who are thinking about learning from the princess and cooking in person to win the favor of the prince.

As the person who is most favored by the prince, Mrs. Rou will naturally not be idle.

"Qinzhi, Mrs. Ben feels that since the princess entered the palace, the prince has not been as attentive to me as before."

Madame Rou sat lazily at the dresser, letting her long black hair fall over her shoulders, and a look of displeasure swirled between her eyebrows.

Mrs. Rou, who has not yet put on makeup, although her complexion is fair and her face is delicate, due to the lack of maintenance for many years, the skin on her face is dry, and there are faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes.

Qin Zhi combed her hair behind her and said with a smile: "Madame is too worried, although the prince did not punish the princess, but he also took into account your feelings, this is not the prince, he sent a lot of good things over!" ”

Qin Zhi said as he picked up a hosta on the table and said with a smile: "Madam, your hairpin is made of fine white jade, and the gold is expensive, and no one has sent you any light." ”

Mrs. Rou glanced at the hosta in Qinzhi's hand and smiled coldly, "It's indeed a good hairpin, but this time the princess picked the plum blossoms from the garden that the princess planted for me, Mrs. Ben thought that the prince should take care of the grievances I had suffered before, and this time she would never tolerate her again, but I didn't expect Mrs. Ben to cry to the prince, and the princess could still retreat!" ”

After Qinzhi helped Mrs. Rou tie her hair bun, she began to help Mrs. Rou put on makeup, naturally she was still planning how to help Mrs. Rou fix her pet.

"Madame, don't worry, these days the little ladies in our backyard are learning cooking skills with the cooks in the dining room, but the slaves have already inquired, they are all learning from the princess, the princess herself cooks and does win some favor from the princess, but this plan is by no means a long-term solution, and the little ladies who have been cooking in person continue to send snacks to the princess, the prince is tired of it, and naturally loses interest in the princess."

Mrs. Rou looked at the face in the mirror with a natural and weak temperament, and she smiled softly.

"If you want to compete for favor, you have to use your brain."

When others cook in person, she doesn't do that, and only by doing the opposite can she attract the attention of the prince.

Mrs. Rou thought about it carefully, since she entered King Mu's mansion, in order to be favored, she had already tried her best to attract Li Song's attention, "Qinzhi, what do you say Mrs. Ben has to do this time to make the prince treat me differently?" ”

Qin Zhi said with a smile: "Madame's skill of making incense with one hand, even if Mrs. Wan comes from the family of the spice merchant Jia, I'm afraid that it can't compare to you, why don't you make some different sachets for the prince?" Xu is the prince will like it. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Rou's eyes froze, and she raised her eyes coldly and glanced at Qinzhi, who knelt down.

"Madame's forgiveness!"

A sinister and vicious look crossed Madame Rou's delicate face.

"If you leak Mrs. Ben's skill in making incense, Mrs. Ben will never let you go!"

With that, Mrs. Rou turned her head to look at the face in the mirror again, she raised her hand and picked up the eyebrows, and carefully traced a pair of willow eyebrows to herself, and then she put on her own makeup.

She said while putting on her makeup: "That's it, if you make a mistake for the first time, Mrs. Ben will give you another chance, get up." ”

Qin Zhi stood up stupidly, but saw Mrs. Rou and said again: "Mrs. Ben heard that the princess has been doing rouge gouache work since she entered King Mu's mansion, although her little face is indeed a little beautiful, but she ran into Mrs. Ben!" ”

Mrs. Rou gently slapped rouge on her face and continued: "She is a deep boudoir woman from Shangshu Mansion, where does she know these ways, who doesn't know that Mrs. Ben was born to learn these. ”

Mrs. Rou is from the most famous Chunfeng Building in Kyoto City, which girl in that building doesn't know this skill? Mrs. Rou was the Oiran lady in the Spring Breeze Building, she didn't have this ability, so where did she get the capital to make men like it?

After putting on her makeup, Mrs. Rou chose a red coat again, and when Qinzhi helped her dress, Mrs. Rou continued casually: "If Mrs. Ben says, don't look at the flowers and willow green that those sluts in the backyard wear all day long, swaggering around, they can't be on the stage, only this serious red party is the most conspicuous and bright color." ”

Qin Zhi said cautiously on the side: "It's just madam, the red clothes have always been worn by the master's mother, and the slave and maid are worried about ......."

Before Qinzhi finished speaking, Mrs. Rou sneered, "What do you have to worry about?" When the prince fell in love with Mrs. Ben at first sight in Chunfeng Building, Mrs. Ben was wearing a red dress, and when the princess had not yet entered the palace, I often wore red clothes, why can't I wear it now? ”

Mrs. Rou had never put Ning Qingyue in her eyes, and after she put on her clothes, she took a closer look at the image in the mirror, gently hooked the corners of her lips, and asked gently: "Qinzhi, do you think the prince will like Mrs. Ben's makeup today?" ”

Qinzhi smiled on the side: "It's all slaves and maids, I didn't expect that Mrs. Lady's makeup skills are so good, Mrs. is very beautiful today." ”

When Madame Rou heard this, she gently curled the corners of her lips and laughed.

"What's the best of the best? As the old saying goes, 'Peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic', there is always a time when dim sum is tired of eating, but when the warm fragrance is in the arms, no man can hold it. ”

Mrs. Rou was planning some things, and at this time, Ning Qingyue's house was lively.

Today's atmosphere is different from the previous reaction of Mrs. Wan's three people who were timid and afraid of death, because when chatting, Mrs. Wan mentioned that Ning Qingyue's face was beautiful without powder today, Ning Qingyue became interested in popularizing the knowledge of skin care with these three people.

As she spoke, Ning Qingyue's conversation box was completely opened, so Ning Qingyue told them a lot of makeup skills, as well as the effects of various makeup and clothing matching, and said a lot, although Mrs. Wan, Tian and Kong gradually became less afraid of Ning Qingyue, but because Ning Qingyue had a deep understanding of the art of makeup, although the three of them listened to it for a while, they also had to admire Ning Qingyue.

Women all have a love for beauty, and after Ning Qingyue said a lot of words, she instructed Lan Wei again: "Lan Wei, go and get a few masks and come over to Mrs. Wan and the two little ladies to try." ”

After Lan Wei brought the mask, Ning Qingyue smiled again: "I have already used the mask early this morning, so I don't need it, just let my personal maid Lan Wei teach you how to use it." ”

Mrs. Wan, Tian, and Kong had a silk mask that had been soaked in the original solution of the mask, and they quickly applied the mask after following the method Lan Wei had taught them.

During the process, Ning Qingyue smiled and asked, "How does it feel to apply the mask?" ”

Mrs. Wan said: "It's cool and comfortable." ”

Tian Shi said with some expectation: "Princess, is the effect of the mask really as good as you say?" ”

Kong Shi also said: "Princess, the concubine's complexion is not as white as theirs, is it effective to apply this?" ”

Ning Qingyue said with a smile on the side: "Peace of mind, what about the mask, in fact, the effect is not something that can be seen in a day or two, now the main thing is to let you feel the feeling of wearing a mask, do you feel that your head seems to be empty at this time, and your whole body is comfortable?" ”

Mrs. Wan smiled: "I do feel very comfortable." ”

Ning Qingyue said again: "Regarding whether this mask has the effect of skin care and whitening, I suggest that you continue to use it when you go back, and you will naturally understand it in a few days." ”

After the mask was applied, Ning Qingyue asked Lan Wei to take a lot of skin care products she had made recently and gave them them.

"You're welcome, everyone has one, whether it is effective or not, you will write me an evaluation when the time comes."

The three of them looked at Ning Qingyue a little blankly.

"Dare to ask the princess, what is an assessment?"

Mrs. Wan thought for a long time before asking.

Ning Qingyue knocked on her head and said with a smile: "Concubine Ben forgot that you don't understand these professional terms, the evaluation is that after you use these things, you feel that there are any changes in your skin, record them, and then submit a record report to me in seven days, I will see if I need to make some improvements to these skin care products according to the report you gave me." ”

After a while, Mrs. Wan led the Tian family and the Kong family to leave with the things given by Ning Qingyue.

Halfway through, the three of them talked and laughed, but they were not as timid as when they came.

"Sister Wan, I didn't expect the princess to be so powerful, not only would she make her own skin care products, but she also gave us a lot of them so generously."

When Tian mentioned Ning Qingyue, his eyebrows fluttered, and he couldn't suppress his joy.

Kong Shi also said kindly: "I was quite afraid of the princess before, but I didn't expect the princess to be so easy to talk to, and in the future, our sisters will follow the princess!" ”

Mrs. Wan's thoughts were deeper, and while she smiled at the Tian family and the Kong family, she was secretly thinking about the princess's performance today.

It didn't take long for her to come to a conclusion, that is, the princess's means of winning people's hearts were really clever.

In the blink of an eye, an hour or two passed.

Ning Qingyue was idle, so she went to ponder the makeup, she remembered that when she was doing the live broadcast, she also painted the makeup of ancient women, and the Luomei makeup is the most popular among fans, and it is still the kind that she never gets tired of watching, and now she is a living ancient woman, or a princess, she thought about it and painted a Luomei makeup.

Speaking of which, this plum makeup has never appeared in Chen Guo, and Ning Qingyue is the number one person.

Lan Wei, who was beside her, saw the plum blossoms painted on Ning Qingyue's forehead, and her face showed surprise.

Ning Qingyue knew that she had such a reaction, and immediately smiled: "Okay, don't praise me, I will be proud!" ”

Although Ning Qingyue has been quite leisurely these days, there are still two things in her heart that make her worried.

The first thing is that she still remembers the last time she saw Li Song, the two talked for a while across the screen, Li Song said that when his body is better, he must cultivate a good relationship with his princess, although Li Song has not fulfilled his words, but Ning Qingyue is really afraid of cultivating a relationship with him.

The second thing is that the day of her father Ning Weiyan's birthday is getting closer and closer, and the thought of going back to Shangshu Mansion in a few days makes her feel uncomfortable.

These two things were entangled in her heart and annoyed her, and she said with a drooping face: "Lan Wei, how much silver have you taken from the account room this month?" ”

Lan Wei said: "The slave and maid went to get the silver three times, a total of four hundred and fifty taels. ”

Ning Qingyue's head suddenly sobered up as if cold water had been splashed.

"All this money has been spent?" Ning Qingyue asked.

Lan Wei nodded, "Just the high-quality silk and the fresh milk sent to the house every day have already cost more than two hundred taels of silver, and the princess also rewarded the people of the plum garden before, and also spent more than sixty taels of silver, and more than one hundred taels of silver were used for the rouge gouache you bought, after all, the rouge gouache you want, it is the best, and the price is very expensive." ”

Ning Qingyue calculated, her expenses for just one month are almost worth the expenses of ordinary people's families for a lifetime, if she is left in modern society, she is simply a loser to the point of outrageousness.

But even so, Ning Qingyue still smiled shamelessly and said, "Okay Lanwei, you can go to the tent room today and come out with some silver, the palace is too stuffy, I want to go out for a walk." ”
