211, the princess's intentions
Because they were going to make a facial mask, several people moved to a guest room in Nanshan Courtyard, where Fuyao was lying on the bed, and Sangyu was lying on the bed beside it.
After carefully cleansing their faces with soap powder, the two lay on the bed, extremely excited.
Gu Qianxue opened the box, and carefully took out a wet silk cloth with a strange shape from a sealed ceramic jar.
This shape is very strange in Nanyue Kingdom, just like a ghost mask, it is very intrusive to look at. But it is very common in modern times. This is what a mask looks like.
The mask is made of pure silk, because there is an amino acid in the silk that can speed up skin metabolism, so it is perfect to use this as a mask cloth.
As for the essence used to make the mask, it has a lot of sources. It puts many Chinese medicine powders that are beneficial to the skin, and even puts the rose essential oil that she carefully extracted. In addition, there are distiller's grains!
Alcohol can be said to have mixed reputations on the skin. Many people have dry skin due to the use of alcohol-containing skin care products, but similarly, alcohol has the effect of constricting pores and tightening the skin.
So why is the same alcohol added, but there is such a big difference? That depends on the alcohol content and the source of the alcohol.
The alcohol content of modern big-name skin care products such as SK2 is very accurate. Using SK2 series of skin care products can not only shrink pores, but also accelerate skin metabolism, which is very popular.
Inspired by this, Gu Qianxue extracted some essence from distiller's grains and added it to the mask.
Nanyue's distiller's grains are made of pure grain, and because the brewing technology is very backward, its alcohol content is very low, so it has more safety factors when used in facial masks.
Gu Qianxue carefully applied the mask on the faces of Fuyao and Sang Yu, and even more carefully squeezed out the air bubbles, so that the whole silk mask cloth could be attached perfectly.
"It's enough time to put on a stick of incense." Gu Qianxue wiped the remaining essence on the back of her hand, and then lit the incense for a long time.
"It's really so effective?" Princess Yong'an moved closer to Sang Yu, lowered her head and carefully looked at the strange thing on Sang Yu's face.
"Of course the effect is there. I used my maid to do experiments these two days," Gu Qianxue explained to the eldest princess seriously, "This mask uses Polygonatum odoratum, almonds, pearl powder, Angelica dahurica, Baishui, Poria cocos, and …”
"Shut up!" The eldest princess suddenly said, "Are you stupid? Why do you tell others about the things you developed? Don't you know that people are evil?"
Gu Qianxue suddenly became angry, "I... Didn't I tell you this?"
The eldest princess snorted coldly, "I don't want to know."
"..." If it wasn't because of the other party's status that she couldn't afford to offend her, Gu Qianxue really wanted to rush over and fight her.
Concubine Qin couldn't help laughing at the side, "Qianxue, I have something I want to give you, you can go get it with me."
"Yes." Gu Qianxue blushed with anger, and while following Concubine Qin out of the guest room, she reached out to caress her heart. She had a feeling that she would eventually die of two reasons.
The first is to be pissed off by Princess Yong'an; the second is to strangle Princess Yong'an to death and be beheaded by the emperor.
Apart from these two ways of dying, she really couldn't think of anything else.
Soon, passing through the main hall and the long corridor, they arrived at Concubine Qin's bedroom.
When you enter, you can smell the fragrance of tea.
"Sit." Concubine Qin looked at the angry Gu Qianxue with a funny face. "What do you think of the eldest princess?"
Gu Qianxue sat obediently on the little rug beside her, "Qianxue doesn't understand what your mother means."
Concubine Qin said with a smile, "How can you say, you are also the adopted daughter of the eldest princess."
It’s okay if you don’t mention this, but when you mention this, Gu Qianxue almost spurts out a mouthful of old blood, "A righteous daughter? I am the adopted daughter of the eldest princess? Forget it, I am the eldest princess’s enemy!"
Concubine Qin laughed out loud at being teased, how could she still have her usual dignified demeanor
Laughed for a long time, blushed from laughing, took out the handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Okay, okay, stop joking, I called you here to tell you that Princess Yong'an not only doesn't hate you , On the contrary, I like you very much."
Gu Qianxue was stunned for a moment, "Like it?" It's only a ghost if you believe it!
Concubine Qin smiled and shook her head, "It's true. You know, among the late emperor's many children, Princess Yong'an is the favorite, because the eldest princess is most similar to the late emperor in terms of appearance and temperament."
The first emperor was a tyrant
Of course, Gu Qianxue only dared to mutter this sentence, but did not dare to really say it.
"It can be said that the eldest princess is the one who was born with the golden key in her mouth, not the emperor." Concubine Qin recalled the past, recalling the high-spirited posture of the eldest princess back then, and was very emotional. "At that time, the eldest princess did not need to look at any You don't have to think about anyone's face, because all the nobles in Nanyue Kingdom revolve around her, even though she is deeply hit now, the eldest princess is still aloof and proud."
When Concubine Qin said this, she turned her head and looked into Gu Qianxue's eyes with a smile, "However, she broke the precepts repeatedly for you."
"Breaking the precept?" Gu Qianxue didn't understand.
"That's right," Concubine Qin explained, "In the past, the Eldest Princess didn't bother to defend other people, because with her status, there were not many people in her eyes. At the queen's banquet, the eldest princess stood up to defend you for the first time, do you know how many people were shocked that day?"
Gu Qianxue opened her eyes wide and looked at Concubine Qin in surprise.
"Also, although the eldest princess has been scolding you, in her heart, she is educating you," Qin Concubine continued, "May I ask, who in the whole Nanyue country has the honor to be personally educated by Yong'an princess? The other ladies in the middle school, even if they want to be scolded by the eldest princess, they still have to queue up."
Although Gu Qianxue felt a little unwilling in her heart, she had to admit that what Qin Fei said might be right.
According to Concubine Qin's meaning, the Eldest Princess is defiant because she is loved by thousands of people, and the reason why she doesn't educate anyone or protect anyone is because those people are not qualified to be educated by the Eldest Princess.
"Should I be honored?" Gu Qianxue couldn't laugh or cry, but she didn't want this honor.
"You can say that." Concubine Qin replied.
"..." Gu Qianxue was completely speechless.
Concubine Qin stretched out her hand and gently stroked Gu Qianxue's head, "Although the eldest princess is stubborn, she is not a person who does not listen to persuasion. I will try to persuade her to be more gentle with you on weekdays."
"..." Gu Qianxue still wanted to politely reject the eldest princess's kindness, "Okay, Qianxue knows, the empress called Qianxue, that's all she said?"
Concubine Qin took out a beautifully carved wooden box from the cabinet next to the dressing table, placed it in front of Gu Qianxue, opened it gently, and saw that there was a whole pair of head and face jewelry inside. Although the color was not pure white, it was still pure. , sterling silver inlaid, sparkling.
It was a diamond! This headpiece is inlaid with diamonds!
