"Steward Liu, you go and put lychees."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Liu Dazhui held the wooden box containing lychees, turned around and walked past Li Gan.

Empress Xu's ears were sensitive, and when she heard the conversation of several people, she turned around and motioned for them to stand down, and then she said angrily: "There are people from the White Lotus Sect in the mansion, and he doesn't care about the things he knows, and you told him that you almost had a miscarriage last time." ”

"The colt is very busy, and Erchen thinks that there is no need to make trouble, isn't the child good." An Cheng had a good reason, so Queen Xu couldn't blame, so she had to sigh.

A head poked out at the gate of the courtyard, and Zhu Zhanji took advantage of the little yellow door to start running again.

Xiao Huangmen stretched out one hand like catching a chicken, holding a whisk on his face, and his face was panicked: "Oh, little ancestor, hey, walk slowly, don't fall." ”

Empress Xu and An Cheng were talking in the corridor, sighing and saying, "Why do you protect Cheng Yuan like this, this palace must ask him well." ”

Seeing that Empress Xu was going to continue to complain, An Cheng beckoned to the courtyard and said, "Zhanji, is it okay for my aunt to take you to eat your sweet potatoes." ”

Eating successfully attracted Zhu Zhanji's idea.

Zhu Zhanji saw Princess An Cheng, walked over and hugged her leg and said, "Auntie, eat dried sweet potatoes." ”

What else did Empress Xu want to say, but Zhu Zhanji twisted his ass impatiently, clamoring to eat dried sweet potatoes, which provoked Queen Xu to continue to reprimand, but seeing that her beloved grandson was no longer angry, she said, "What is dried sweet potatoes?" ”

Cheng Yuan has planted sweet potatoes for Yanwang's Mansion, and making dried sweet potatoes is the first time this year, something that only the Guogong Mansion will have.

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi sat in the Guogong Mansion, looking at the scenery outside, talking about watching Jianwen later.

Outside the city, where there were many cacti, Cheng Yuan leaned against the tree and said, "Kuang Yu, those cochineal insects are good for making some lips." ”

In the Qin period, the "Divine Woman Fu" by Song Yu, a doctor of Chu Guoshi, was lit with cinnabar, but it was poisonous after a long time.

After the Tang and Song dynasties, there was flower juice soaked in paper, as well as herbs and spices.

Spice lipstick is more elegant in color, and it was also loved by ancient men, and a little bit of it can also prevent chapped lips in winter.

Even the emperor also gave it as a gift to the ministers, Liu Yuci's "Metabolic Gift Table" mentioned: "Quantitatively according to the holy decree, give the ministers Lari mouth fat and facial fat, purple snow and red snow, carving and opening, precious medicine, ointment and snow ying, and liquid Tengfang." ”

Listening to Cheng Yuan's tirade, Kuang Yu carved thin bamboo pipes with several carpenters from the academy and said, "Master, this one you painted is quite beautiful." ”

You haven't seen a modern lipstick pipe, have you...... Cheng Yuan remembered that he still disliked the dispensable system to give some plastic flowers, and now he wants some lipstick to coax women, but it's gone.

Kuang Yu only felt that a bunch of prickly insects were too permeable to smear his lips.

Zhu Bai said: "Are you sure this insect can be made into lip grease for some lips, could it be that you are also a ...... of Longyang."

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, a considerable number of men began to use lipstick in the Ming Dynasty, especially after the Southern Ming Dynasty, the trend of forbidden bells flourished, scholars and social elites...

"I made four or five sticks, which were used for trial, and could be sold to Ming women and men, how could I use this kind of thing, the prince really tormented me."

What is the prosperity of the times, the wealth of the people, the strength of the country, the abundance of grain, the strength of the army, the abundance of the treasury, and the prosperity of culture, which not only require the treasury silver, but also need to be practiced first.

Don't want to do business, hold a basket and wait for the sky to fall?

Zhu Bai shook his head: "I'm afraid that your lip grease is a blind man lighting the lamp, and if you do more, those rouge shops in Daming sell more than you."

There are more than a dozen colors of lip grease in the bedroom of this princess, and you have a bunch of insects to make lip grease, if the woman knows about it, it will be disgusting. ”

How disgusting is cochineal, how many big lipstick brands are used in later generations, and cochineal is an important part of good lipstick.

I didn't expect Zhu Bai to say it so unbearable.

"Lord Wang, don't make a conclusion first, cochineal insects are very rare in Daming, but I have been looking for a day to use Ancheng, which is appropriate.

It is also suitable to give it away as a souvenir. ”

In Zhu Bai's eyes, Cheng Yuan's bunch of insects made into lip grease and packed into this carved bamboo tube is really whimsical.

But Cheng Yuan is just a person who still retains his whimsy, how can he be a dignified prince and deal with a "simple" young man with a brain?

Zhu Bai looked at Cheng Yuan with sympathetic eyes, this kid is too capable of tossing.

After all, this is a young man who is too talented, but too unrealistic. Zhu Bai sighed and shook his head:

"You can cure locusts and pirates, just because you do things outside of other people's rules, your horizons are always broader than ours.

But if you blindly jump out of the rules, you can't succeed every time, and something will happen eventually. So this lip fat is a small matter, and this king still has to remind you. ”

"Hmm...... However, the things I decide, basically will not be miscalculated, An Cheng wants to have a child, the affairs of the officialdom in the Chu River and Han realm, I will be careful about some things, just listen to the advice of the prince. ”

"Hey, you were implicated this time, it's really a life of nine deaths, in the future, you should stay away from Qiu Fu and them, once people's hearts are crooked and go astray, they are easy to make mistakes.

However, the Ming Dynasty needs people like you who think outside the rules, because there are too many rules, and many people are afraid that the officials will break this rule and that etiquette, and this king also lacks this kind of thing. ”

"Thank you Lord for your teaching, I will pay attention to it, and deal with the matter of the White Lotus Sect first."

Cheng Yuan added water to the cochineal powder and spoke while stirring.

Kuang Yu interjected beside him: "Master, you are too troublesome, isn't it good to apply it directly to your mouth." ”

"It should also be filtered with gauze." Cheng Yuan was dumbfounded, what do you know, what you sell and buy is packaging and exquisiteness, so that you can let the dignitaries and nobles buy it.

Cheng Yuan went in to prepare a small amount of fish oil, this fish oil, animals, plants contain vitamin E, put it in a pot to boil the water, and then pour it into a mold to solidify.

"Done?" Zhu Bai leaned on the chair, took the leaf and put it on his face, and said, "This king must sleep well first, and the lip fat is ready to call this king." ”

"Staying in a place where there are no women is to be clean and comfortable for a while." Cheng Yuan looked at Kuang Yu boiling over there, and said, "Lord Wang, can you do me a favor." ”

"Speak!" Zhu Bai is crisp and neat.

"The White Lotus teaches things, the victory is in hand, you help me bring the lip grease to His Royal Highness Xianning, and it can be used when she marries Yunnan. I want to ask Princess Xiang to help. ”

"Cheng Yuan, Cheng Yuan, you are doing your own thing, as Uncle Wang, you shouldn't have said it, the royal brother hinted at you at the beginning, but you didn't cherish it.

But you have to see that she takes your lip grease to be someone else's wife, and imprints the lip grease on someone else's body, if it is this king, this king can't do it. ”

Zhu Bai said a few words and said, "How do you know that Xianning is going to marry to Yunnan?" I didn't listen to the royal brother. But in terms of the young and the old, it should be Xianning. ”

“……”

Cheng Yuan's chest was pierced again.

But he didn't speak, he could figure it out himself, it may be that Zhu Di was afraid of changes, so he wrote a marriage letter in advance, and the marriage letter was given, and Chrysostom said.

But why didn't Zhu Bai know? Could it be that Zhu Di wants to wait for the Mu family to come, it must be so.

Or Zhu Di only told a few of them. Absolutely.

Because he inquired about Yang Xianzhi, who knew that the Ministry of Rites just asked the Yunnan Mu family to prepare for July 7.

Cheng Yuan didn't think much about it, and said: "If it is elopement, how serious do you say the consequences are?" Will it harm the family? ”

Zhu Bai sat up violently: "What do you mean, you want to elope!" And with whom? ”

"Hehe, how could it be." Cheng Yuan spread his hands.

"If you leave An Cheng behind, be a negative man, this king will let people tie you up with a rope and sink into the river......"

The corners of Cheng Yuan's mouth twitched, and then he let out a "haha" and laughed heartily.

Zhu Bai heard that the Mu family was going to enter Beijing, but which princess to marry, he was not suitable to ask his royal brother, in the era of male and female defense, you can't be polite.

Now there are three princesses who are going to get married, and only Xianning thinks about it.
