Chapter 8, the first time I saw the concubine
In the blink of an eye, the mink cloud satin cloak sent to the sewing bureau has been made, Yao Jiaxin looked at the neat and neat wind hair, and couldn't help but admire the craftsmanship of the embroidery lady of the needlework bureau.
"Help me put on a little makeup, let's go to the main hall to thank Concubine Mao." Yao Jiaxin commanded leisurely. Such a good cloak is really a bit reluctant.
This is the tenth day that she has crossed over, and others don't have to come and go for the time being, but this lady of the main throne must be dealt with.
Su Yu found a pair of warm and thick silver and blue satin pot-soled shoes, wearing such "high heels" is really a bit of a habit, the heel is in the middle of the sole, so the balance needs to be careful. In the past few days, Yao Jiaxin has practiced in the house, and she has stumbled and stumbled, and Su Yu and the others did not suspect anything, only when she was too weak after her illness, so she walked unsteadily.
- yes, who would doubt that she doesn't know how to walk in pot-soled shoes at all?
Fortunately, the soles are not too high, and with Su Yu's support, it is not a big problem to walk slowly.
Reflected in the bronze mirror was a thin face, blurry and impossible to see. Su Yu stood behind and gave her a vertical head, she smiled and said, "In the past two days, the little master's complexion has been much better. ”
The complexion is indeed very different from when he first came, at least the sallow and dark blue of the face has gradually receded with the recovery of the wind and cold, revealing a white face, which is the kind of bloodless pale, revealing weakness.
I made a mask for several days in a row, and I used a lot of top night creams and serums, and my skin texture has improved a lot, and it feels a lot smoother and more delicate. Thanks to the good foundation of this face, the complexion is already very white, there are no scars, and the pores are small, but I haven't taken care of it well for a long time, and the skin texture is a little rough.
Secondly, the face shape and facial features of this face are actually very good, the standard melon seed face is too thin, the eyebrows are slender, the tail is slightly light, and the eyebrows are like distant mountains, revealing a bit of timelessness, the eyes are large, black and white, the nose is small and exquisite, and the shape of the lips is not bad, but it lacks blood.
If you raise some meat and recover your complexion, you should be a pretty beautiful beauty. - at least prettier than her.
Yao Jiaxin said secretly in her heart.
Yao Jiaxin didn't know much about these cosmetics in ancient times, so she put makeup on her by Su Yu.
I saw that Su Yu first took a small lump of oily things called paste, melted them with the heat of her palm, and then wiped her face with oil.
Yao Jiaxin: ...... Thankfully, her face is dry now, otherwise......
Su Yu carefully massaged her skillfully, and the oily balm gradually absorbed into the skin, and then she picked up the duck egg-shaped powder, dipped it in the puff, and smeared her entire face. This powder is quite delicate, but it ...... The fragrance is so strong! It's more fragrant than Grandma Xiang!
"Ahh Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but sneeze, "Okay, let's apply less!" ”
"Yes." Su Yu had to put it away, and finally picked up the inconspicuous enamel color small round bowl, it turned out that this was rouge, with a strong rose fragrance, this smell Yao Jiaxin didn't hate it, although it was rich, but this was a very pure rose fragrance, and it smelled very natural.
I saw Su Yu's green and white jade scratching head carefully dipped a little bit of rose rouge, and then pressed it against Yao Jiaxin's lips, spun it slightly, and drew a cherry on her lips.
This lip makeup...... I've seen it in costume dramas, but now it's painted on my mouth, and I'm really not used to it.
This rouge is not just lipstick, Su Yu took a little duck egg powder, mixed it with a little rouge, and wiped it on Yao Jiaxin's cheeks.
Yao Jiaxin hurriedly said: "Paint less!" "She didn't want to be smeared as a matchmaker.
This rose rouge is actually lipstick, blush and eyeshadow, a three-in-one makeup, so Yao Jiaxin's eyelids were also painted with a small blush.
Su Yu's makeup technique is actually quite good, especially the eyebrows are painted very well, she chose the most suitable for her eyebrow shape, the painting is foggy and very classical, that is, the rouge is smeared a little too much, from the eyelids to the cheeks, as if she was slapped by someone.
Yao Jiaxin sighed, couldn't help but pick up the handkerchief, and rubbed off most of it.
Su Yu couldn't help but say: "Little master, you don't have a good complexion, if you rub off all the rouge, you will look sick." ”
Yao Jiaxin said lightly: "I'm already sick, why hide it?" As she spoke, she picked up the gilded butterfly hairpin and stuck it on her head, "Okay, let's go to the main hall to say goodbye." ”
"Yes." Su Yu hurriedly helped her up, and put on a new cloak for eighty percent, and then the master and servant went to the main hall.
From the east side hall to the main hall, but a few steps. Yao Jiaxin walked cautiously, for fear of falling, although the snow had already been cleared, but the road surface after cleaning was somewhat slippery.
Su Yu had to be more careful to hold on.
In the early morning of winter, it was really cold, and the cold fluttered on her face, and Yao Jiaxin was so cold that she shrank her neck.
There are only three main halls in Xianfu Palace, which is indeed a little cramped compared to other palaces. In his previous life, Yao Jiaxin also visited the Forbidden City several times, and he was still clear about the basic pattern of the Forbidden City.
The twelve palaces of the East and West Six Palaces, the pattern is almost the same, most of the main halls have five rooms wide, but only the Jingyang Palace in the northeast corner of the East Sixth Palace and the main hall of the Xianfu Palace in the northwesternmost corner of the West Sixth Palace are only three. Therefore, nine times out of ten, those who live in these two palaces are concubines who are not favored.
Concubine Mao should be the oldest old person in Yongzheng Qiandi, with no children and no daughters under her knees, and she is afraid that she is not young now, and she is old and decrepit, so she was assigned to the remote Xianfu Palace.
Thinking of this, Yao Jiaxin felt a little sympathetic to this concubine.
At this time, Chalcedony walked out of the main hall with a smile, squatted down and performed ten thousand blessings: "Greeting the nobles, our mothers invite the nobles to enter the hall to talk." ”
This little palace maid doesn't have eyes on the top of her head, and she looks very well-behaved and delicate.
Yao Jiaxin smiled, Concubine Mao is the main seat of the first palace, this main hall is naturally much more spacious than her side hall, especially the warm pavilion inside, it is burned enough charcoal, as soon as the cotton curtain of the warm pavilion is opened, there is a hot air rushing to the face, mixed with thick Canaan incense, smoked people a little dizzy.
I saw that there was a mahogany arhat couch near the window of the warm pavilion, the couch was covered with a dark satin mattress of autumn fragrance, and a woman with about thirty or thirty and very delicate makeup was sitting there, holding a string of fine agarwood Buddha beads in her hand, with a kind face and a little noble.
This must be a concubine, but it is very well maintained, much younger than Yao Jiaxin imagined. Concubine Mao should be about the same age as Yongzheng, at least forty-five years old, maybe even almost fifty, and she is as good as her thirties, it seems that she can't underestimate ancient cosmetics.
