Chapter 825: The Night of the Cave Room
Su Youyi picked up a red sprig casually, "This is good, it is lining your dress today." ”
The eldest princess glanced at herself, looked at herself again, and nodded, "Just listen to the queen mother." ”
Chunjing called a little palace maid who was taught by herself, named Xiaohui, to come over and dye the nails of the eldest princess.
Dyeing nails with impatiens is a meticulous effort, and it is easy to say that it is easy to do well, and almost every woman can do it.
It's hard to say.
How to make the color more uniform and not stain the flesh next to the nails is all work.
Chunjing first took a pottery bowl, carefully plucked the petals of the white impatiens and put them into the bowl, then took a jar and poured a little white powder into it.
Su Youyi looked curious, "What is it that poured?" ”
"Guess the queen mother and the princess?"
"Is it alum?"
Chunjing shook his head, "Although the color of alum is good, it is toxic and can hurt people. The slave maid has tried, adding some salt to the impatiens can also achieve the same effect, and the queen mother will know if she tries it in a while. ”
Chunjing said, using a small mallet to mash the petals in the round bowl with salt, and gave Su Youyi a look when it was almost pounded, "Well, the juice is out." ”
The white impatiens are not white juice, but a faint orange-yellow, somewhat like orange juice.
The round bowl in the hand of the little palace maid named Xiaohui was a red impatiens, and the eldest princess also took a look, and the juice after mashing was redder than the petals themselves.
Chunjing scooped out the petals and juice in the bowl with a small spoon, put it on a fine white gauze handkerchief, and then tightened the handkerchief to squeeze out the impatiens juice.
The juice is squeezed out and covered in a thin layer in a small saucer.
Chunjing smiled: "That's enough, the Queen Mother stretches out her hand!" ”
Su Youyi stretched out a hand at random, only to see Chunjing dip a small wool brush into the juice of impatiens, and then carefully brush it on her nails.
The small brush was cleverly chosen, and when pressed down, the coverage was almost as large as the nail surface.
In this way, the whole nail can be dyed, but it will not stain the flesh next to the nail.
Chunjing brushed the juice several times, and felt that it was almost over, so she took the slender chrysanthemum leaves to wrap her nails for her, "This is a good one." ”
She drew the gourd in the same way, that is, she dyed the remaining nine fingers.
During this period, Su Youyi glanced at the eldest princess, Xiaohui's nail dyeing skills were taught by Chunjing, and the movements were very quick, and the eldest princess's hands were almost wrapped.
The eldest princess raised her wrapped hand and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong?"
Princess Celestia said, "I just think it's weird. In the past, the palace maids in my palace dyed my nails, and they didn't wring out the juice of the impatiens, but directly applied the mashed petals to my hands. If you only brush the flower juice, will it not be enough to color? ”
Chunjing smiled when she heard this: "The eldest princess doesn't know, it's good to apply broken petals directly to her nails, that is, it is easy to dye the skin and flesh around her nails." Use this small brush to brush only the juice, not only will it not stain the skin and flesh on the edge, but the degree of color is not lighter than using broken petals, Ming'er will know if she unravels the princess early in the morning! ”
Celestia suddenly realized, "If this is the case, I will also teach the people who serve me to do this in the future, so that I don't have to wash my hands desperately every time I dye my nails!" ”
……
The wedding banquet in the second king's mansion was noisy until it was dark, and it was dark to have a cave room, and there was no such thing as a cave room in a royal wedding.
Therefore, after the sky was dark, the guests took their leave.
The carriage in front of the second king's mansion dispersed in an orderly manner, those who were estranged left first, and those who were close to them naturally left later.
Among them are Yuan Song and Xiao Si, Xiao Wu and other brothers, and then there are relatives of Gui Taifei's mother's family, they are also Yuan Tao's maternal relatives.
There are also Su Zhiming and Su Heng, father and son, because Su Heng is idle at home and boring, Su Zhiming asked him to congratulate Yuan Tao together.
Yuan Tao was very happy that Su Heng could come to watch the ceremony, and he was more respectful than he was to the parents of the concubine.
It should be said, Su Youyi is his mother-in-law, and in terms of etiquette, he must first recognize Su Heng, his maternal uncle, Su Zhiming, his uncle, and then recognize the people of the concubine's mother's family.
"Second prince, go back, don't send it."
Yuan Tao personally sent Su Heng and Su Zhiming out of the mansion, although Su Heng kept persuading him to go back, he just refused.
Su Zhiming said: "Second prince, let's get in the car and go back, you don't have to send it again." Today is your big day, don't snub the bride, go back quickly! ”
Yuan Tao bowed to the two of them, "Thank you for being here today, especially when I heard that your old man rarely goes out, I thought you wouldn't give me this face, but I didn't expect you to look up to me like this." ”
"The second prince is serious!"
The other party is the prince in the end, Su Heng waved his hand again and again, "I don't go out because I'm worried that your uncle will become a big official in the court, and some people look red and want to harm him from me, so they don't dare to go out." I'm naturally not afraid of you here, how can there be a statement that you can afford to look down on? ”
Yuan Tao glanced at Su Zhiming, and Su Zhiming was a little helpless.
Su Heng really didn't treat himself as an outsider, and told Yuan Tao everything.
Yuan Tao couldn't help laughing, he liked this, which made him seem to treat him as a family, he was busy saying: "Since this is the case, if you are bored in the house in the future, just come to the house for a walk." ”
Su Heng responded to his words with a smile, and the father and son got into the carriage and left.
After they left, Yuan Song and Xiao Si and Xiao Wu were also leaving, "Second brother, let's go first, you go back quickly!" ”
As soon as Yuan Tao got closer, he could smell the smell of wine on them.
Today is his big day, his brothers drank more than him, fortunately, the two younger six and seven were not allowed to drink, and they were taking care of the three brothers at this time.
Yuan Tao said: "Yuan Song wants to go back to the house, do you two go back to the palace or go back to the imperial garden with Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi?" ”
"Let's go back to the Imperial Garden, and naturally go to see the queen mother while we are out of the palace."
Several of them said that they wanted to go back to the Imperial Garden, which was convenient, Yuan Tao was about to beckon someone to send it, Yuan Song interrupted: "Okay, second brother, you can go back!" My people are outside, and I'll send a few of them, so go back! ”
"Yes, second brother, go back quickly!"
"Second brother shouldn't be embarrassed, so he deliberately passed the time here, right?"
Yuan Tao was said by them, "Good boy, now even my brother dares to joke?" Wait for Ming'er and I will return to the eldest brother and let him treat you well! ”
As if he was afraid of being ridiculed by them again, Yuan Tao waved his hand in annoyance, turned around and strode in the direction of the upper room.
Behind him, the laughter of Yuan Song and others echoed far away in the spring night......
