390 Palace Beauty Reversing Time
The Empress Dowager felt that holding the birthday ceremony for six days was really a waste of time and money, so she simply did it in one day.
The birthday girl is heaven, and the birthday girl has the final say.
Emperor Yanwu paid his son's gift to the Queen Mother and said, "The Queen Mother is considerate of the people. I thank the Queen Mother on behalf of all the people, and I will follow the Queen Mother's opinion."
The first round of birthday gifts is over and it’s time for the second round.
Taichang Temple Minister Zheyu came out again, holding a gift list in his hand, and chanted loudly: "Food is the most important thing for the people. This second round of birthday gifts is the 'Jingjiu Piece' that is currently popular in Yanjing, symbolizing happiness, wealth and longevity.
There are nine kinds of cakes for happiness: Fu-zi cake, which means blessing, Taishi cake, which represents fortune; longevity peach cake, which symbolizes longevity, Xi-zi cake with double "xi" characters, silver ingot cake with rolling wealth, and roll cake with the rhyme of a scroll.
Pancakes, chicken fat pancakes for good luck, jujube flower pancakes for children and grandchildren, and lotus leaf pancakes for prosperity in the family. Please taste it, the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother smiled from ear to ear.
Birthday gifts are not expensive, but the thoughtfulness really warms people's hearts.
"Okay, okay, the emperor is interested, and the Taichang Temple Minister is interested. Come, call the young grandchildren of the Ai family over, and share a piece each. The Ai family and the grandsons will have fun together."
As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, the playful royal grandchildren came over. The children were naturally sensitive to food and drooled as they stared at the nine pastries.
In fact, this pastry not only smells delicious, but also has different shapes. Each one is different, making people want to try every piece.
After the little emperors and grandsons finished sharing the cakes, they devoured the cakes without forgetting to lick their fingers. The royal upbringing was forgotten one by one. These pastries were so delicious.
In the group of officials and envoys congratulating him on his birthday, King Nanyuan straightened his back and looked at his son-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye. It was just that he was impeccable in appearance, but the key was that he was smart enough to be worthy of his daughter.
In the envoys of the Song Dynasty, someone in the back row looked at him in a low-key manner, thinking to himself that it must be her idea. She is the most clever person in the world. If she were a cook or a chef in the imperial kitchen, she would be able to do it.
Juan'er is back home. I wonder what surprises there will be next?
As for King Feng, he watched all this with cold eyes.
The cook who was supposed to be him actually climbed up a high branch.
The chanting official from the Ministry of Etiquette said: "The longevity offering continues."
This time, when the birthday boys came with trays, all the concubines' eyes widened because they had already seen the gifts.
The ceremonial band played ceremonial music.
No, it is not appropriate to use ritual music. It is a piece of music that people have never heard. But when "the blue and white strokes outlined by the embryo are thick and light", people feel that their ears have gone to heaven. The eldest princess Ying Zhezhe, this is
His lifeless expression suddenly became vivid.
The Minister of Rites presented a gift, "The nine-piece blue and white national costume set sponsored by the Blue and White House will help the Queen Mother wear it in a good mood and look good every day."
The national costume made for the Queen Mother will be looser and more graceful.
The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and touched the material. She felt that the black bird on the clothes was fluttering and about to fly, lifelike.
"Empress Dowager, Zhezhe also has a set of clothes like this, but this one is embroidered with a red bird, which is not as touching as the Queen Mother's black bird." Ying Zhezhe spoke.
The Queen Mother retracted her hand and asked Baicao Shi: "Why do the Ai family think that the black bird is about to fly?"
Baicao Shi smiled and replied: "Queen Mother, Shi Shi heard that the paintings on the blue and white clothes were all painted by Duan Shaoyi, a great contemporary painter. As early as when he was in Wanzhou, the paintings he painted were included in the royal treasures by Your Majesty.
Where is the hotel?"
Only the most noble qualities are worthy of the Queen Mother's appearance.
The Queen Mother smiled and accepted the gift.
By the fourth round, all the officials craned their necks to see what strange things would come next.
The strange thing is that this time, it was not Taichang Temple Qing Zheyu who presented the gift, but Baicao Shi.
"I have heard this saying, at the age of twenty, you will have a face given by nature, at the age of thirty, life and time will shape your appearance, and at the age of fifty, you will get a face that you deserve. No matter when
, Grace and elegance are the best qualities. If you want to be irreplaceable, you must be different."
Nine gift-giving boys carried gifts in nine trays.
They are small boxes. The boxes themselves are very beautiful, and the beauties on the boxes are even more beautiful.
"The fourth round of gifts is a palace beauty and time-reversing package based on classical herbal prescriptions that will not cause any harm to the skin."
After Baicao Shi finished speaking, Qi Qi glanced at the seats of the concubines in the harem and let out a long intake of breath. If it is true as Baicao Shi said, does it mean that youth will remain forever, the appearance will remain the same, and the favor will continue?
The Queen Mother was very calm, which was the experience and calmness that time had given her. She asked: "Shishi, is this gift rouge and gouache?"
Baicao Shi curled her lips, calmly and confidently, "Not exactly, Queen Mother, Shi Shi has brought some demos, and I can perform them for everyone on the spot to show the effect of reversing time and witness her legend of skin care and beauty."
How confident it is to perform in person.
Baicao Shi looked at the venue and said, "Your Majesty, before the performance, please allow me to invite a makeup artist. She will complete the entire makeup."
Makeup artists are also a rare species in this era. Do they have a face that is astonishing?
Amid everyone's curiosity, Wen Xiang walked up.
Hey, he also has two eyebrows, two eyes, and a mouth. His appearance is also average.
Under the scrutiny of everyone, Wen Xiang felt extremely uneasy, but her mood soared into the sky. She did not expect that Baicao Shi would give her such a big stage.
"Wen Xiang, a folk girl, pays homage to the Queen Mother and pays homage to Your Majesty. The Queen Mother is as blessed as the East Sea and lives longer than the Southern Mountains."
The Queen Mother raised her hand and said, "Sit down. Shishi, can we start?"
Of course, you have to show off enough to do it. There was a cunning look in Baicao Shi's eyes, "Is there any woman who is willing to come up and witness the miracle?"
Zheyu curled his lips, knowing that his wife was going to make a splash again.
Although the concubines were extremely curious and eager to give it a try, they couldn't save their face. Once they were on stage, how would they face the emperor in the future?
Seeing this, the Queen Mother said to the old palace maid beside her: "Please cooperate."
This old palace maid has long passed the age of leaving the palace and is in her thirties. She has always been with the Queen Mother. The years have stained her face with dust, and the wind knife has cut across the mountains and rivers.
Baicao Shi was overjoyed, the Queen Mother was so powerful, seeing her transformed into a living person.
The mirror was moved to the middle, Wen Xiang had already taken the cotton puff and powder puff, and led the experimental maid to sit down.
The first step is to cleanse your face.
I use Baicao Xiangyi’s spiced bath beans.
After cleansing, there is not much change. I just feel that my skin is more transparent.
Then came the moisturizer, essence, cream, and foundation. Wen Xiang's fingers seemed to have been kissed by butterflies, flying up and down. Everyone saw that the maid's complexion was getting whiter and whiter, like white porcelain, like beautiful jade.
After finishing the Lianbu makeup, it’s time for the most critical eye makeup and plum blossoms.
The ancient rouge was not so finely divided. It was equivalent to a rouge, which solved the multi-function of eye shadow, blush, and blush.
After applying rouge, the last step is lip balm.
The palace maid in her thirties actually caught up with the beauty of a hair-length girl. It was truly a miraculous feat.
The Queen Mother looked at the palace people beside her, and it was as if she didn't recognize them in a dream. They were so beautiful.
The eldest maid looked at herself in the mirror, caressed her face, and couldn't believe it. She knelt down in front of the Queen Mother and said, "Empress Dowager, I hope that your appearance will always remain as good as before."
This sentence is very clever.
Which woman in the world doesn’t love beauty.
The concubines in the harem are already gearing up, vowing to find the same style of palace beauty and beauty that goes back in time. Especially Concubine Si. Ying Zhezhe is not worried, she has a good relationship with Baicao Shi, and those who are closer to the water are the first to win.
After the surprise, the Empress Dowager suppressed the joy and enthusiasm in her eyes and restored her majesty. "Your Majesty, Minister of Taichang Temple, Princess Shishi, the Ai family likes the gift you have prepared very much. However, what Shishi just said
In a word, the Ai family agrees very much. At the age of fifty, you will get the face you deserve. The Ai family is sixty-six this year, so don’t think about turning back the clock and leave it to the concubine and princess."
As soon as these words came out, the concubine and the princess were about to jump into action, wishing they could shout long live the Queen Mother and surpass His Majesty the Emperor.
However, there are many monks but not enough rice.
There are only nine pieces in the Anti-Time gift box, who should I give it to?
