741 The women in the cold palace
Since the death of the first emperor, at first she was still a little interested in mirror makeup, but over time, she was reluctant to pick up, clothes and jewelry, etc., just to be dignified and in line with the rules.
As for those rouge gouaches, it's not that they don't touch it at all, but it's not as enthusiastic as when they were young, and in recent years, they have been in-depth and simple, and their minds have long faded.
The most important thing is that in her consciousness, a person of her age, seeing that she has no days to live, should wear an old woman's face, and go in and out by the palace maids and grandmothers, and while complying with the rules, she can faintly reveal a sense of stability that is sinking in the west mountains.
But the moment she saw the old lady of the Zhang family today, she only felt that these 'deserved' things in her mind were shattered.
It turns out that people can live to this time, and they can still be so exquisite.
The sense of delicacy that comes from the inside out makes her heart, which has been silent for many years, ripple.
For a moment, she seemed to suddenly return to the time when she was secretly competing with her friends before she left the cabinet.
The grandmother who was called Chunji by her on the side couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "Fat powder may be the best fat powder, but according to the slave maid, the good looks of the old lady of the Zhang family are revealed from the inside out——"
The old queen mother sighed slightly when she heard this.
"The mourning family thought the same."
In the end, when it comes to the things used, there is no reason why they are not as good as the things outside the palace that are sent to her in the Shoukang Palace.
To put it bluntly, what she lost was not outside her body, but her own face.
But when she was young, she was also a beauty in the capital - with this face in the draft that year, she was an isolated existence in a group of show girls.
Thinking of these past events, the old queen mother subconsciously said: "I think that the beautiful women in the capital back then, and those of my age, I have never heard of the name of the old lady of the Zhang family...... But now that I look at it, I can't compare to it at all. ”
Mama Ji listened to the faint loss in the Queen Mother's tone, even unevenness, and wanted to laugh but held back.
At this time, she looked at the face in the mirror of the queen mother of her family, and only felt that there seemed to be a row of big characters written on that face - why didn't the years refuse to treat the beauty of the mourning family kindly?
Meaning this, Mama Ji couldn't help but remind: "A good complexion is raised, how can you look at the good old lady of the Zhang family?" The spirit and bones of the body are also excellent—Your Highness and the Imperial Physician often tell you that if you are strong, you must move around and move more. ”
When the old queen mother heard this, the thought that she just wanted to be active suddenly faded a lot.
Walking, moving?
Isn't the meaning of life about living comfortably?
Stillness is the most comfortable state.
Besides, sometimes she is not reluctant to move, but these legs always do not listen to her.
Seeing that the Queen Mother's expression was obviously retreating, Mama Ji hurriedly said: "The slave maid heard before that the old lady of the Zhang family would exercise in the morning every morning. ”
"Daily?" The old queen mother frowned.
God, isn't that going to kill her?
She couldn't do this kind of thing in a hurry to find sin.
"Forget it, the mourning family is the queen mother, and it is unseemly to do this......" The old queen mother got up from the dressing table and found a high-sounding excuse for herself.
As for jealousy of the old lady of the Zhang family?
Forget it.
After all, she is really not an opponent in this area.
Seeing this, Mama Ji picked up the Queen Mother and said: "It's not that there are no other ways, it is said that the old lady of the Zhang family has many good prescriptions for health preservation in her hands......
You don't have to move, you just have to open your mouth.
But as a picky old lady, she can't help but have some concerns at this time: "If you use those tasteless ones every day, it's not interesting to live a few more days......
"It's not necessarily to your liking." Mama Ji said: "Didn't you still tell the old lady of the Zhang family today that you want to embroider a pocket for the little emperor's grandson in the future?" ”
Speaking of which, when the grandmothers of the two families meet today, most of the topics they talk about are related to the crown prince and the future crown princess.
And because the conversation was too much, they also ate two fruit wines for lunch.
After eating and drinking, it goes deeper.
Especially when it comes to holding their great-grandchildren and great-grandchildren in the future, the two old ladies can't keep their mouths together.
The old lady of the Zhang family said that she would make tiger head shoes for her future great-grandson, and the queen mother of her family was not far behind and threatened to embroider her belly pocket.
When the old queen mother heard this, a pair of small dolls carved in pink suddenly flashed in her mind, a male doll and a female doll, white and tender, delicate and cute, and asked her to hug her with a smile.
Just thinking about it, the old lady's heart softened into water.
She suddenly felt that she could still try.
“…… Then next time, when the old lady of the Zhang family entered the palace again, the mourning family asked her for two ways to try. ”
"Where do you need to ask for it, didn't the ones that His Highness asked to send from the old lady of the Zhang family before?"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she nodded suddenly.
Yes, there is such a thing.
But she naturally doesn't like to eat light things, but those medicinal recipes don't have any effect for a day or two, so she eats them intermittently, seeing that they are useless, so she doesn't want to touch them again.
"This time, it's up to you to remind the mourning family ......," the Queen Mother confessed.
Mama Ji happily agreed.
The Queen Mother is also in a good mood, and she seems to have two more vitality than usual.
Although he didn't move much, he didn't take a nap, ate half a cup of tea, admired the flowers in the courtyard for a while, and summoned the two princesses to him and said for half an hour.
As for the sweets and snacks that I love most on weekdays, I heard Mama Ji say that the old lady of the Zhang family has never eaten anything sweet or oily, so she only tasted one bite and put it down.
Before dinner, the old queen mother asked about Yun Concubine.
"Have you been thinking about seeing the prince lately?"
After that brainless thing was demoted to Yun Concubine, she still had the face to see the prince, saying that she had to admit her mistake to her face in order to get better.
Hehe, I did something stupid to make others feel bad, and I still dared to think that I could feel better in my heart - but she was really a woman who couldn't even wake up in the cold palace.
"I mentioned it again, but according to your instructions, I didn't go to the East Palace...... I heard that I washed my face with tears every day. Mama Ji said.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly.
Wash your face with tears, wash your face with tears, there is too much water in the left and right brains, and it is good to put it outside.
The prince did not have to predispose his mind to such meaningless matters.
With this kind of work, it is better to look at the excerpts for the emperor.
Or try to cooperate with the arrangements of the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian, so that the preparations for the big wedding can go smoothly, and the girl of the Zhang family can be married back as soon as possible, which is the top priority-
"Fu Yuxuan's side is settled?" The Queen Mother asked again.
Since the Ning family moved in, there has been no less trouble.
