The air froze for a moment, and then the queen showed a smile: "Yanxue, come quickly, come and sit beside the palace." ”

Liu Yanxue answered, and then sat down on the chair beside the queen under the guidance of the palace maid.

On weekdays, the queen's favorite little daughter sits here, which shows the queen's love and attention to Liu Yanxue.

Liu Yanxue's back was straight, and the whole person was like a verdant pine and cypress, and like a peony blooming in flames, so that the queen couldn't help but hold her breath for a moment in front of her, adjust her emotions, and speak naturally.

"Some time ago, I heard that a new shop selling skin care products had opened in Kyoto, and many dignitaries went to buy it, and there was a long queue of maids at the door every day." The Empress spoke first to break the silence, "Even the most well-known old skincare stores in Kyoto have never had such a prosperous scene, so Hongu naturally doesn't believe it. ”

"But a few days ago, the mother's family of this palace came to visit this palace, and my cousin, who was originally dark-skinned, turned out to be bright and translucent." The queen's tone was very soothing, with a magic that made people surrender, "This palace was curious, so I sent someone to buy two cans of skin care products, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good." ”

"When Your Majesty met me in the Imperial Garden, he praised me for being like a creamy complex, completely different from the previous gloom, as if I had returned to my teenage years, when I was still a lively girl."

Speaking of the change in the emperor's attitude towards her, the queen couldn't help but bow her head and smile, and the smug look on her face became more obvious: "Thanks to you, if there are no skin care products made by you, I'm afraid I will never get His Majesty's heart again." ”

"Niangniang is naturally beautiful, although skin care products have a maintenance effect, but the effect is not as strong as Niangniang said." Although she was praising the queen, Liu Yanxue's tone was still light, and she couldn't hear the contrived compliment at all.

It is this contrast that makes people feel even more that what she says is the truth.

The queen also reached out with satisfaction and pulled Liu Yanxue's palm and patted the back of her hand gently: "It is said that time is not forgiving, and this palace felt the same some time ago...... Every time I look in the mirror and see the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes in the bronze mirror, and the slack on my face that can no longer be concealed, I feel sad in my heart. ”

"I originally bought the skin care products you sold, but I just wanted to be a dead horse doctor and delay aging a little, but I didn't expect to rejuvenate this palace!"

may be too excited, the queen's expression is a little exaggerated, and the queen of the world is very talkative in front of Liu Yanxue.

She babbled on and on about the many changes in her countenance, and the Emperor's renewed affection for her.

In this regard, Liu Yanxue listened carefully, did not interject indiscriminately, and did not interrupt the queen rashly.

When she finally told all the impulses that had been held in her heart for a long time, the queen smacked her lips with satisfaction: "If it weren't for Yanxue, I'm afraid this palace would be depressed for a lifetime." ”

"That's right, Yanxue." Looking at Liu Yanxue's lowered eyebrows, the queen hesitated for a moment, but still coughed, and asked seemingly casually, "How are your skin care products made, and the effect is so good?" The palace has studied it with the imperial doctor, but they can't figure it out. ”

The queen's sudden question made Liu Yanxue's eyelashes tremble.

The medicinal materials used in skin care products are very standard traditional Chinese medicines for skin care and conditioning, and they do have a certain function for delaying skin aging.

But the most important thing in the skin care products she makes is not all kinds of medicinal materials, but the spiritual spring water that is placed in the medicinal materials.

Spring water can detoxify and nourish the skin, improve skin aging, and even save people's lives......

The thoughts were tumbling in her heart, but when it was manifested in her face, Liu Yanxue only frowned.

The queen saw that Liu Yanxue was not in danger, and she also knew that the raw materials and craftsmanship of skin care products were secrets and could not be known by the outside world.

After a moment of guilt, the queen thought of the high price of skin care products - even if she was the mother of a country, she felt that the price of skin care products was really not cheap.

And every day, countless people line up outside to buy skincare products.

She calculated a little in her mind the profit that the daily skincare store could make, and she couldn't help but feel itchy, wondering if she could get involved.

And Liang Ji also needs a lot of money to do things, if she can monopolize the production of skin care products, not only can she make money, but also attract many ladies and ladies, and when Liang Ji competes for the throne, she will be more certain.

The queen's mind was in a hurry, but in reality it was a blink of an eye.

"Yanxue?" Seeing that Liu Yanxue had been silent for too long, the queen called her a little displeased.

"The courtiers are here." Liu Yanxue hurriedly took a step back, and quietly withdrew her hand from the queen's hand by bowing and apologizing.

The two people, who were originally close to each other, were suddenly separated by a lot of distance, and the feeling of alienation came in an instant.

The queen knew that Liu Yanxue saw her thoughts and was showing her attitude with her actions.

But the temptation of skin care products is too great, even if she knows that she will offend Liu Yanxue, the queen still can't help but ask the materials of skin care products again: "This palace is curious, how is Yanxue's skin care products made, and the effect is so good?" ”

Liu Yanxue's eyelids jumped, and then she sat back in her chair, but her body kept a certain distance from the queen.

"The queen is as beautiful as a fairy, even if she doesn't use skin care products, she is also the world's first-class beauty, and when she uses skin care products, she only slightly removes some scars and wrinkles, and it can't even be regarded as icing on the cake." Her face did not change and her heart did not beat, and she directly began to praise the queen, "The courtiers thought that they were not bad, but now standing in front of the mother, they are quite ashamed of themselves, so they can only keep their heads down, and dare not compete with the sun and the moon." ”

Although Liu Yanxue has a strong personality and is quite arrogant, she is not a brainless person.

Just like now, she was inside the palace, surrounded by the queen's guards and maids, and she naturally had to choose a way to be safer.

The queen knew that she was just an ordinary beauty, but when she saw a peerless beauty expressing "self-ashamedness" in front of her, her mood still became very proud for a moment.

"Yan Xue Mo wants to praise this palace," her face was smug, but her mouth was modest, "This palace is just an ordinary color, but it is Yan Xue, when this palace sees you, I feel that the first beauty in Kyoto is empty talk, and they can't compare to you at all." ”

After praising Liu Yanxue back and forth, the queen reluctantly shifted the topic to skin care products: "Yanxue, you talk to Bengong, how did you come up with the idea of opening a cosmetics store?" How do you get the formula for skincare products? ”

…… It's really a thief's heart.

Liu Yanxue seemed to hang her head obediently, but in fact, a touch of impatience flashed in her eyes.

Just when she couldn't help it and was about to speak viciously to each other, a little eunuch suddenly ran in outside the door: "Niangniang, the eldest prince, the second prince and the fifth prince are here!" ”

The conversation was interrupted.

Hearing that the eldest prince was coming, the smile on the queen's face was instantly retracted.

She glanced at Liu Yanxue several times in a row, and stopped talking many times, wanting to say something to Liu Yanxue, but in the end she only sighed.

In just a few breaths, the eldest prince and others walked into the hall.

They first saluted the queen in unison, and Liu Yanxue also saluted them.

Hearing the cold voice of the head, the eldest prince pretended to be quite surprised, and suddenly raised his head to look at Liu Yanxue: "Why is Sister Liu on the queen mother's side?" ”

The three words "Sister Liu" not only gave Liu Yanxue goosebumps on her back, but even the queen couldn't help frowning, thinking about when the eldest prince had such a good relationship with Liu Yanxue.

"The queen summoned the courtiers and said that she wanted the courtiers to accompany her to talk about the skin care store." Liu Yanxue's expression was indifferent, and she explained her intentions one by one.

As soon as Liu Yanxue finished speaking, the queen stared at the eldest prince, and her tone was full of suspicion and temptation: "Yanxue was called by the palace, what are you doing here?" ”

"The queen mother, the sons and daughters are here to greet the queen mother." The queen's sharp eyes did not frighten the eldest prince at all, he not only took a step forward generously, but also did not forget to linger on Liu Yanxue all the time, and the intention was already very obvious.

Hello, please?

The queen sneered.

The current queen is not the original queen, so the eldest prince is not her biological son, not only are they not related by blood, but they walk around each other on weekdays, the eldest prince does not like her, and she does not like the eldest prince.

If it were not for something important, the eldest prince would not be able to step into her palace for a year.

As soon as she called Liu Yanxue today, the eldest prince followed closely and came over to say goodbye, Sima Zhao's heart, who doesn't know?

"This palace is in good health, and there is nothing I need your help with recently, since I am done, you will go back quickly." Although she knew that it was impossible for the eldest prince to leave directly, the queen still drove people away in an unhappy tone.

"Our brothers are usually quite busy, and it is rare for them to come to greet the queen mother." The second prince followed the hippie smile, "Now that you have time to come over once, why doesn't the queen mother talk to us more and wants to drive us away?" ”

The second prince said, pretending to wipe his tears: "Isn't there a few of our brothers in the queen mother's heart?" ”

"......" The queen gritted her teeth, and the green tendons on her forehead were about to burst out.

But after all, she is a continuation, and she must be kind and equal to the eldest prince at least on the surface.

So she squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "Give the princes a seat." ”

The palace maid and the little eunuch hurriedly invited the three princes to their seats.

The eldest prince lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and suddenly looked at Liu Yanxue: "Sister Liu, this prince heard that you have opened a skin care store in Kyoto, and the business is not bad?" ”

"It's just sparse." Liu Yanxue replied softly.

"How can you say it's normal?" The second prince hurriedly interjected, "Many of the boudoir ladies I know have begun to use private money to buy skin care products, and they can't afford to have money, and they have to send maids to line up all day long. ”
