Chapter 516: Rouge Vulgar Powder
He instantly understood what the emperor meant, which was to make plaques for them to sing praises of merit.
What they want is not any right in the first place, but to live comfortably, and the fights and killings in the rivers and lakes are nothing more than fighting for fame and fortune.
Seeing that the president did not speak, the emperor knew that he wanted to agree.
"Above the court is not suitable for you and other Jianghu people, so I have come up with a way to get the best of both worlds. I might as well make you a general, wouldn't it be a pleasure for you to help me maintain the stability of the rivers and lakes? ”
Hearing this, the president laughed happily.
Originally, he was still struggling with what to do in the future, although he was free in the palace these days, they were not very used to life in the deep palace.
"Since the emperor is sincere, then I will leave early tomorrow morning. Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will do a good job as a general for the emperor, manage the stability of the rivers and lakes, and the emperor can rest assured in political affairs. ”
The president agreed without hesitation. As far as he is concerned, there is no harm in this matter.
Besides, the emperor has thousands of soldiers and horses, how can they, the people of the rivers and lakes, resist forever. Even if they kill the emperor, they will suffer, this truth is not ununderstanding.
Seeing that this man had understood his meaning and understood the deep meaning, the emperor did not bother to speak.
In the evening, a banquet was held, and the next morning, they left the palace.
After they left, the emperor rewarded Chu Qiaosi lavishly, and the matter was terminated.
The palace was calm again, everyone performed their duties, and the people of the whole world were singing praises to the emperor's merits.
Nearly half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the queen just got up that day and saw the little palace maid running inside.
"I've seen the Queen Mother." She took the initiative to kneel on the ground and salute the queen.
The queen simply replied and told her to get up.
"The queen mother, the palace has the latest batch of rouge, this time the rouge is quite good, the slave maid specially came to ask the queen to come over to choose. After you choose the queen, the other concubines can be selected according to their positions. The little palace maid spoke respectfully.
Although the queen is old, she also likes these things, and immediately happily went over with the little palace maid to choose.
When the queen arrived, the virtuous concubine and other beauties were all waiting.
Seeing the queen coming, the virtuous concubine smiled and directly grabbed the queen's arm. Not to be outdone, the other concubines went over to the queen together.
"Sister Queen is finally here, we have been waiting for you for a long time. Sister, let's choose first, today's rouge gouache color is particularly gorgeous, and there are many new colors......" Concubine Xian smiled while pulling the queen in.
When I came inside, I found that there were indeed a lot of brightly colored rouge here, as well as a touch of pink, which was very light from the ordinary pink.
The queen was attracted by the faint pink rouge, which was as soft and smooth as a girl's skin.
"Sister Queen, this pink rouge is perfect for rubbing on your face. The queen's sister's skin is already fair, and after wiping it, isn't it white and pink, like a girl whose skin can be broken! A concubine immediately burst out in praise.
"It's very true, Sister Queen, hurry up and try this pink, the concubine also thinks that Sister Queen is as beautiful as a son of heaven, and even Chang'e in the Moon Palace is less than one-tenth of her sister!"
……
These concubines were busy complimenting, and the virtuous concubines on one side were displeased, but they could only keep smiling on the surface.
After the queen rubbed a faint pink rouge on her face, her fair skin immediately became bright, and it looked as smooth and fair as clotted cream.
Especially the faint touch of powder, which makes her whole girlish breath compelling.
Holding it in the mirror, the queen was quite satisfied with the box of pink rouge.
"Since that's the case, then the palace will choose this pink rouge." The queen watched it for a long time, and her favorite was this box of pale pink rouge, and let the little palace maid next to her put it in the tray.
The next thing to choose is the virtuous concubine, the virtuous concubine and the queen have different tastes, and the one chosen is with some orange.
She was dark-skinned, not as fair as the Queen. After applying this orange rouge, it looks more youthful and beautiful, and it is quite exotic.
After the two of them choose rouge, the remaining concubines can choose. Before they had time to wipe their faces after choosing their favorite rouge, the queen covered her face and shouted.
"Sister Queen, what's wrong with you?" Concubine Xian was taken aback.
The queen's face was red and swollen at the moment, and there were red spots everywhere on her fair neck.
The queen also noticed the abnormality on Concubine Xian's face at this time.
Concubine Xian touched her face and kept scratching her arms, and her arms and shoulders were all covered with the same rash as the queen's.
"Oh my God, this must be Rouge's problem!" I don't know which concubine shouted, and the others immediately threw these rouges to the ground, and they were terrified one by one.
There are also some people who are glad, fortunately they are slow to choose from low positions, otherwise they will be covered with red rashes like the queen and the concubine.
After making a fuss here for a while, the Imperial Doctor finally came. Let them sit on one side and take their pulse immediately.
"Imperial Doctor Zhang, why did the palace suddenly itch and there were many red spots? There is also a virtuous concubine, why is she the same as this palace? The queen frowned tightly, and covered her face with a scarf on one side, for fear that others would see her embarrassed appearance.
Imperial Physician Zhang took the pulse and had already come to his own conclusions.
"Don't worry, it's just an ordinary allergy symptom, you must have applied these rouge just now, so it made your body itch non-stop. It's better for Niangniang to hand over the rouge to Weichen and let Weichen take a closer look. ”
Hearing this, the little girl next to the queen immediately sent the rouge that the queen and the virtuous concubine had smeared just now.
Imperial Doctor Zhang picked up the rouge and sniffed it, but found no abnormality.
Then he picked up the rouge and rubbed it on his skin and sniffed it again for a while, finally finding out the root cause.
"There are some things in these fat powders that can't be named, and it is precisely because of the existence of this kind of thing that allergy symptoms are triggered, as long as you don't rub rouge, everything will be fine."
Hearing the imperial doctor's words, the queen's face completely darkened, and she grabbed the box of rouge and fell to the ground.
"Come on, call the group of dog minions who are responsible for the purchase to this palace, this palace will punish them severely, and they actually bought these poisonous rouge. Isn't it going to ruin the appearance of this palace? ”
But what a woman cares about most is her appearance. Now because a box of rouge is so messed up, the anger is even more aggravated.
The virtuous concubine, like the queen, was trembling with anger.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the little palace maid and the little eunuch who were in charge of the purchase were brought up, and they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
