Chapter 488: The Eldest Princess in the Pit (238)
Mrs. You presented a delicate gift box to the eldest grandson queen.
"Queen Mother, in addition to the green herbal ointment, I also brought a rejuvenation ointment this time. The ingredients used in it are bird's nest, ginseng, pearl powder and other good materials.
It has a miraculous effect on the reduction of fine lines, dark spots and skin tone, and can rejuvenate the user's skin in just half a month, you can let the royal doctors take a look. ”
Which court doesn't have a secret recipe for rejuvenation?
As the mother of a country, the eldest grandson queen naturally has her way of maintenance.
Even so.
At this age, the fine lines on her face should still be long.
Occasionally.
She would also catch a glimpse of it in the bronze mirror, where the ladies hid her white hair behind a bun.
Aging is an indisputable fact.
As soon as she heard the recipe of this medicinal herb, she became interested:
"The bird's nest you brought last year, the nourishing effect is really good, I have eaten bird's nest for more than half a year in this palace, my spleen and stomach are much better, and I rarely cough at night."
Ginseng and pearl powder, of course, are also good things.
The best beads in the palace are the sea pearls offered by the Morab country last year, and now the Boni Prefecture.
At that moment, the female officer was asked to take the rejuvenation cream in the box to the Tai Hospital.
There are few girls who don't love beauty.
The two princesses came to Mrs. You again and listened to her talk about daily maintenance.
Don't look at the skin of the eldest princess of the New South Vietnamese Kingdom, the black is darker.
But healthy, rosy and delicate!
Mrs. You touched her face:
"That's because I use it every day, honey, milk, aloe vera juice, flour, etc. to make a mask on the face, and long-term use can increase the radiance and elasticity of the skin."
The small or strange-shaped pearls that are eliminated in the sea pearl craft workshop are all ground into extremely delicate pearl powder with nano-scale particles.
Pearl powder has been used by the ladies of all dynasties.
But only by grinding the powder to a certain fine density and applying it to the surface will not block the pores.
Those who have used it will naturally know the delicacy of these pearl powders as soon as they get started.
And so.
The pearl powder from the New South Vietnam Kingdom was entered into Chang'an City by its spokesperson, the eldest princess Amway.
In addition to pearl powder, the dignitaries and nobles of Chang'an City were Amway's products, as well as palm sugar, colored pearl bead curtains, mint-flavored halitosis pills, etc.
Of course, that's another story.
At the same time, the joint coinage of the Tang Dynasty and the New South Vietnamese State was initially decided.
The military department Shangshu took the opportunity to make an agreement with the lord of You for 800,000 cans a year.
The prices quoted by Lord You to the Tang Dynasty Military Department are:
canned luncheon meat and hairtail, fifty cents a can;
canned mutton, 100 yuan a can;
canned beef, 200 yuan a can;
Canned abalone and canned marlin, 300 wen a can.
The net weight of each canned meat is one catty (the weight of Datang, one catty is sixteen taels).
The price of these canned foods is much lower than the retail price in Guangzhou.
The military department is still quite satisfied.
The two major events were finalized on the spot, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed.
It was in such a pleasant atmosphere that the tribute that the New Nanyue Kingdom presented to the Tang Dynasty this year was finally carried into the main hall.
When the dressing mirror was unpacked by a few strong men of different races, and the iron power wood bracket of the mirror was erected.
The emperor on the throne and the officials in the main hall could not sit still.
"Whoa."
His Majesty the Emperor looked at the clear mirror, and excitedly accidentally overturned a cup of tea next to the throne.
The scene behind the mirror also made the ministers stunned.
The ministers shouted frantically in their hearts: Crazy, crazy, don't you want to live in the new South Vietnam? Loser, too loser!
Lord You stepped forward with a smile, pointed to the mirror and said:
"This is the imperial dressing mirror that hundreds of craftsmen from our new Nanyue Kingdom spent nearly a year and used an extremely rare gemstone and 5,000 taels of gold to customize for His Majesty Tian Khan."
"Good, good, very good, very good!" His Majesty's face shook a few times.
Quickly stepped down from the throne and stood in front of the mirror with wide eyes.
The familiar face is synchronized with his small movements in the mirror.
He looked at himself in the mirror, and there was no moment when he had such a clear understanding of his heroic appearance.
After admiring it for a long time, I was a little puzzled: "Can gold be made into such a mirror?" ”
You Erlang stepped forward: "Your Majesty Tian Khan, please look at the back again." ”
The two alien boys pressed the handle of the mirror lightly, and the mirror was immediately turned over.
"Hiss"
Even the chief eunuch, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes, was blinded by the luster of gold.
"This, this, is this also me?"
Not long ago, the moment he saw the portrait of the head of the country engraved on the coins of the New Nanyue Kingdom, the Tang Emperor was actually very envious.
But, he dared to offer to have his head printed on the coin!
Not to mention whether there is such a craft in the Salt and Iron Academy, the imperial historians who are not afraid of power will definitely write to impeach him.
He is a man who aspires to be an emperor through the ages, and the advice of the imperial historians must be listened to.
As a result, I regretted the mood for a few days.
After seeing the golden statue carved on the back of the emperor's dressing mirror, made of five thousand taels of gold, he flew into the clouds.
This is a golden relief statue of an emperor riding a horse and shooting an eagle, and its sophistication is staggering.
The emperor's erect posture and relaxed and confident expression when shooting the eagle convinced everyone who saw him of his riding and archery ability.
You Erlang stepped forward to introduce:
"Your Majesty the Heavenly Khan, your heroic appearance of hunting during the siege last autumn is impressive, and the eldest prince and others will not be forgotten after returning to China, so I salute you with this mirror!"
This dragon fart is slapped, and it is called a bangbang.
Even the royal historians who used to love to pick bones in golden eggs kept their mouths shut.
It can be said that this is also the most valuable tribute that the Tang Emperor has ever received since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Regardless of the deeds.
Whether it is true to intersect with the Tang Dynasty, the tribute is the most intuitive evidence!
What makes them a little upset.
As was customary, gifts from the imperial court were generally worth a few percent more than those tributes.
The market value of this dressing mirror of the tribute is more than 10,000 gold.
It's hard to judge.
At the palace banquet that night, Lord You's seat was really close to the position of the Tang Emperor.
During the banquet, many members of the royal family and ministers toasted him.
The patriarch of the Zhao clan and others followed suit, and they were also invited to this banquet.
On the way from Guangzhou City to Chang'an City, the patriarchs were in a trance.
It was shocked by the vastness of the Tang Dynasty and the number of people.
I was also surprised by the difference in the infrastructure and industrial level of the most powerful country in the eyes of the world.
The more they met, the more fortunate they were to live in the New South Vietnamese country.
In particular, as an envoy to see the emperor for the first time, you also need to pay a big respect.
They have always knelt down to the gods and kneeled to their father's and mother's knees, and they were inexplicably a little aggrieved.
