Yes, Yao Yanyan almost forgot about it. She stood up slowly with her belly, and said to Lan Mengshi: "Get them a chair and get some refreshments."
Lan Mengshi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Empress, it's already been sent."
Yao Yanyan nodded and said in her heart: That's good, you can let them wait outside.
Anyway, there are still three quarters of an hour. She yawned and asked Qing Hu and others to serve her with her grooming and changing clothes. When Qing Hu was combing her hair, she touched her belly a little sleepily, and said in her heart: Since she found out she was pregnant. , I always feel that I don’t have enough sleep, but I used to be full of energy when I was greedy and busy until night!
She patted her face, and finally felt more energetic, touching her belly and whispering: "Baby, be good! My mother is afraid of hardship, so don't toss my mother!" Yao Yanyan knows that some people vomit with morning sickness and vomit in the dark. Although she is only a month old and she hasn't had those adverse reactions, she is always a little bit worried.
But even if the baby has to toss her... Yao Yanyan imagined the cute look of the baby in her mind, and felt that it was worth it even to be tossed. The big deal is that when the baby grows up after birth, she will hit her ass a few more times to vent her anger.
Yao Yanyan thought this way, Qinghu had already done her make-up and helped her out of the inner room and went to the outside hall.
At this time, Zhou Xiuyi and Gu Zhaorong were already sitting in the hall waiting, and when they saw her coming, they hurriedly bowed to salute.
Yao Yanyan waved her hand and asked them to get up. Their eyes were swept away, but they stopped on Zhou Xiuyi.
Standing next to Gu Zhaorong, Zhou Xiuyi wore a light blue embroidered long skirt with a tulle cover, and there was not much decoration on her hair bun. This dress was more essential than Gu Zhaorong, but it couldn't suppress her gorgeous face.
When Yao Yanyan heard Gao Zhuzi's description before, she couldn't remember Zhou Xiuyi's character. She thought she was another simple and elegant beauty chosen by the Queen Mother. She had never thought that she was a person who had fought her many times in her previous life.
In the previous life, she fought with Zhou Xiuyi over and over many times in order to fight for favor. Although Zhou Xiuyi's appearance was not as good as hers, she was quite popular in the harem and caused her to suffer a lot. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiuyi in this life actually Will become a flatterer...
Thinking of the words Gao Zhuzi had described to her, Yao Yanyan's expression looking at Zhou Xiuyi became more subtle.
Zhou Xiuyi not only looks gorgeous, but also particularly likes clothes and jewelry in bright colors. Today, it was to meet Concubine Yao, that she especially learned Gu Zhaorong's sober dress. Unexpectedly, Yao Guifei stared at her with weird eyes as soon as she came in. Zhou Xiuyi's heart is tight. Isn't Concubine Yao dislike her, what can I do
Yao Yanyan saw the opponent she defeated in the previous life trembling in front of her. She was in a very good mood. She was supported by the green pot and sat down on the main seat.
I saw Gu Zhaorong holding a small food box in his hand, walking a few steps and saying to her: "Manny, this is a soft cake made by my concubine this morning. Try it."
In the past, Gu Zhaorong would always change into simpler clothes and cook good food for her and your majesty in her small kitchen. Every time Yao Yanyan saw Gu Zhaorong standing busy in the small kitchen, she would feel very happy and kind, but Now Gu Zhaorong is going to take care of the mulberry garden, and it has been a long time since he has not made any food and delivered it, so that Yao Yanyan saw the food box that Gu Zhaorong had brought over, and she gave birth to an exceptionally cordial joy.
She smiled and took the food box and placed it next to her, holding Gu Zhaorong's hand happily: "Gu Zhaorong! My palace knows you are the most caring!"
After hearing this, Gu Zhaorong lowered his head shyly.
Zhou Xiuyi on the side was unwilling to be left behind, and walked up to Yao Yanyan with her things in her arms. She smiled eagerly on her face, "Tomorrow is the birthday of the empress, and the concubine has no longevity, so she can only send some hand-made rouge gouache to express her feelings. "
Rouge gouache? Yao Yanyan glanced at Zhou Xiuyi in surprise, then turned out the box.
The box Zhou Xiuyi handed over was about two palms. It was engraved with rich and noble bat patterns. The center was also inlaid with a thumb-sized Dongzhu. This box alone could sell for one hundred taels. She opened the box and saw it. There are four small round porcelain boxes of the same size inside, and the patterns painted on them are very familiar. They are the powder boxes supplied by the palace to ordinary concubines.
Yao Yanyan opened them one by one. They were white lipstick for moisturizing lips, red rouge for lip coloring, gouache, and a box of...some sticky white cream.
Seeing Concubine Yao’s doubts, Zhou Xiuyi immediately explained: “Manny, that’s a balm. If you apply this to your whole body, it will give off a scent all day long. It took half a month of work for the concubine to make it, madam. You can try."
Yao Yanyan:...
She glanced at Zhou Xiuyi with a weird look, then took out the box of balm and opened it, and a comfortable scent pounced on her face, even Gu Zhaorong showed a stunning color.
Yao Yanyan hooked her finger and smeared it on the back of her hand for a while, then raised her brow slightly, her eyes full of interest when she saw Zhou Xiuyi.
Tsk tusk tusk, she remembers that in her previous life, Zhou Xiuyi dressed up like a peacock, always swaying in front of her and her majesty, she still carried a strange fragrance, neither floral nor fruity, but far better than those two. It was fresher and more beautiful. Yao Yanyan wanted to know what fragrance powder Zhou Xiuyi used at the time, but her relationship with Zhou Xiuyi at that time was like water and fire, so she begged to ask.
Yao Yanyan still remembers how envious and jealous Zhou Xiuyi was when she told her Majesty that it was a natural body fragrance.
It turned out to be the effect of this balm!
Zhou Xiuyi originally came to flatter Concubine Yao and expect Concubine Yao to help her, but since seeing Concubine Yao, the other party has always looked at her with a weird look. Zhou Xiuyi was a little flustered when she was seen, and secretly said: Why is Concubine Yao like this Look at me? Is it because my beauty threatens her? It is true that Concubine Yao is currently pregnant and unable to attend the bed. Her gorgeous appearance seems to be liked by His Majesty, and Concubine Yao's fear of her is justified.
When Zhou Xiuyi thought about it, she immediately showed a pleasing smile on her face, and said, "Noble concubine, this rouge gouache and balm are all made by the concubine body with an ancestral prescription. The balm still moisturizes the skin. If the concubine doesn’t ask for anything else, she asks the empress and the little prince to be safe, and asks the empress to stay forever, and to stay in love. The empress is now in charge of Fengyin, and when the little prince is born, she must be the queen of the world. In the future. Everyone in this harem, the empress will deal with whatever she wants to do. If the empress can let her out of the palace find another way out, the concubine will be grateful, even if she leaves the palace, she will always be the empress and the little girl. The prince prayed."
After hearing this, Yao Yanyan's eyes finally changed when she looked at Zhou Xiuyi.
In the last life, Zhou Xiuyi's position was much higher than it is now. I don't know if it is because of this. Zhou Xiuyi's ambition in the last life was also very large. She originally thought that Zhou Xiuyi was both flattering and giving balm. She wanted to take the opportunity to approach her majesty after she was pleased with her. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Gu Zhaorong.
Gu Zhaorong lowered his head in shame, and whispered: "The concubine is guilty, and the concubine told Zhou Xiuyi the thing you told me earlier."
Zhou Xiuyi hurriedly said: "Mother, don't blame Gu Zhaorong. She is timid, so she was forced to ask her where she dared."
Yao Yanyan's eyes turned on Gu Zhaorong and Zhou Xiuyi. Seeing the two of them were embarrassed, she suddenly smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, this palace won't eat you again." Then, she ordered the palace staff to move in. With the two chairs, Gu Zhaorong and Zhou Xiuyi sat down in front of her, then opened Gu Zhaorong's food box, and from inside came out the soft cake from Gu Zhaorong, but it was a plate of attractive red date cake.
Unlike other red jujube cakes, Gu Zhaorong doesn’t know how to make it. It is cut into diamonds one by one, and has a jelly-like transparency. Layers are stacked nine times. The top layer is not printed, but printed. The oval patterns look like red dates.
Yao Yanyan didn't know what jelly was, but when she saw the red date cake in front of her, she felt that only jelly was the most appropriate description. She picked up a piece and took a bite. It was really soft and delicious, and it tasted sweet and sour, very appetizing. Yao Yanyan didn't have a good appetite for these two Japanese people. After eating this red date cake, she felt that she could have another meal.
She ate a piece with enjoyment, and when the two of them stayed still, she greeted them to eat together.
Most of the palace servants in Feiluan's palace retreated, leaving only the Qinghu and Lan Mengshi that Yao Yanyan felt could be completely trusted.
Yao Yanyan asked Zhou Xiuyi while eating, "Do you want to go out of the palace? Are you afraid of other people's gossip?"
When Zhou Xiuyi heard Concubine Yao mention this, she felt hopeful, her eyes brightened, and she nodded and said: "Niang, my concubine has thought about it a long time ago. I have this craftsmanship for making powder. As long as I can go out of the palace, I will be able to eat Worry-free, besides, as long as you can live freely, what are you afraid of other people's gossip? If anyone dares to gossip behind their backs, they are also jealous of their concubines."
Hearing this, Gu Zhaorong looked at Zhou Xiuyi with a little surprise. What Zhou Xiuyi said reminded her of Ge Xiuwu who had met in Yuhuayuan.
Upon hearing this, Yao Yanyan said to Gu Zhaorong with hatred of iron and steel, "Look at the spirit of others?"
Gu Zhaorong:...
After training Gu Zhaorong, Yao Yanyan turned her gaze to Zhou Xiuyi and said with a smile: "As you know, there are countless beauties in this harem, but your Majesty pets me alone."
Gu Zhaorong and Zhou Xiuyi nodded together.
Yao Yanyan said again: "In fact, your Majesty has long wanted to dismiss the harem for me, and as a woman, I can naturally understand your difficulties. Therefore, I have always persuaded your Majesty that even if you want to send you out of the palace, you must be fair and honest. After you leave the palace, avoid the intrusion of gossip."
Gu Zhaorong was shocked, and Zhou Xiuyi asked nervously: "Niangniang means..."
Yao Yanyan smiled slightly, "I mean, now that the treasury is empty and Da Qi is suffering from internal and external troubles, if you can contribute to this great Qi Jiangshan, you will surely be able to engrave the merits and virtues for generations. At that time, even if you are What about the concubines who are out of the palace? You can still be praised, and there are still countless good men waiting to marry you. You don't have to stay in the harem, but you can have a good home. What do you think?"
Gu Zhaorong was still stunned to speak, Zhou Xiuyi was already stunned, and his face was full of joy, but he was still a little uncertain and said: "The mother said..."
Yao Yanyan said: "Tomorrow is my birthday banquet, and there will be many high-class ladies and daughters coming to the banquet. The palace has to earn their money to fill the treasury. Then, I will bring you."
Among the concubines in the harem, there are few real bad women, but there are many women like Gu Zhaorong who are skilled but confined to ethics, but if Gu Zhaorong and Zhou Xiuyi walk in the front and set them as examples, let them see another path full of light. , Everything should be different.
Yao Yanyan caressed her stomach and smiled with a gentle and virtuous face, and said in her heart: "My baby, from today onwards, my mother will work hard to earn you a family business!" You just wait to enjoy the blessing after birth!
The next day, at the birthday banquet of Concubine Yao, the ladies and ladies from various high-ranking officials in Beijing bowed to salute when Concubine Yao arrived, waiting for Concubine Yao to pass in front of them.
With their heads down, they saw the hem of Yao Guifei's clothes. The color was bright and flexible, soft as clouds, as if woven from the red clouds of the sky, and when Yao Guifei passed by them, everyone smelled an intoxicating fragrance. Unlike the taste of any rouge gouache on the market, this scent is like better than flowers and fruits, like an aged wine, making people unconsciously indulged in it.
What is the woven clothes worn by Concubine Yao? Why is it so noble and gorgeous
Is Concubine Yao's natural body fragrance? I have never heard of a special fragrance on the body of an imperial concubine! Is it because of the use of fragrant powder? What kind of powder does the imperial concubine use
