Muchuan urged: "Queen Changsun is waiting for us, we can't keep the old man waiting for too long."
"Lord Muchuan, do we really want to see Queen Changsun?
Why do you want to see her?"
"Give me a gift."
Muchuan showed the red gold box he held in both hands and said that the contents in the box were birthday gifts for Empress Changsun.
"Gift?
Isn't this right? Queen Changsun's birthday is not next month?
How could you go so early?"
"You have to go now. It will be too late when the birthday party starts."
Muchuan showed a mysterious smile and asked Ouyang Bufan to stop talking and follow him quickly.
After a cup of tea, the two of them walked through the long and wide palace corridor and finally arrived at the Moon Lotus Garden.
There is a four-cornered pavilion in the center of the garden. The pavilion is surrounded by a sparkling pool. There are stone tables and chairs in the pavilion, and there are many palace maids and eunuchs standing in it.
At this moment, a woman was sitting on the stone chair. She was wearing a colorful phoenix skirt and a hairpin and precious stones. She was graceful and noble, with a beautiful heart and a beautiful heart. This person was Empress Changsun!
"Greetings to the queen, the queen is a thousand years old!"
Muchuan and Ouyang Bufan saluted together.
Empress Changsun had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw Muchuan and the others coming, she made a gesture of invitation, and immediately Muchuan and the others took their seats.
Unlike Muchuan, who was calm and composed, Ouyang Bufan was on pins and needles as soon as he sat down, nervous, like an antelope after seeing a tiger.
Queen Changsun seemed to be able to see Ouyang Bufan's nervousness, so she spoke to him: "You are Shang Shu Pu She, right?
I often hear the civil servants of the imperial court talking about you. You are young and talented, and you are good at paying land taxes and compiling population registers. Lord Ouyang can be said to be the pillar of the imperial court. I hope you will share more of the government affairs with your majesty."
"The Queen is very grateful. This is what a minister should do."
Ouyang Bufan quickly stood up and bowed to say thank you. In fact, he was not so nervous now. It was probably because Queen Changsun's voice was particularly gentle and friendly.
After all, Ouyang Bufan had never met Empress Changsun and didn't know what kind of person Empress Changsun was. Naturally, he had wild thoughts and imagined that she was a woman like a tigress.
Muchuan was different. Although he had never met Empress Changsun, he knew what kind of person Empress Changsun was. After all, there were many records about this in the history books of later generations.
Empress Changsun was virtuous, kind, gentle, and friendly to others. It was precisely because Muchuan knew what kind of person she was that he wanted to meet her.
When they met now, there was not much difference between Empress Changsun and Muchuan's imagination.
At this time, Queen Changsun's eyes also fell on Muchuan, and she smiled: "You are Muchuan, right?
I have often heard your Majesty mention it, and His Majesty is full of praise for you."
"Your Majesty has a keen eye, and he was right in his praise."
Empress Changsun burst out laughing. Most of the other civil servants would be humble, but she didn't expect Muchuan to be so frank.
"Well, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, I wonder why you are looking for me today?
He even bothered to go to the trouble of Grand Lieutenant Changsun to send a message to you specially."
Not bad! Why can Muchuan enter the harem openly?
Just because he was summoned by the queen, it is useless even if someone has an opinion!
As for why the queen summoned her?
It was precisely because of the plea of her brother Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji, the leader of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, held the most important military power. Muchuan had helped him several times before. This time Muchuan wanted to meet the queen, so Changsun Wuji made arrangements immediately.
When Empress Changsun asked this time, Muchuan specially handed over the red brocade box held in both hands: "This is a small gift especially for the empress. I hope the empress will like it."
As a result, Empress Changsun refused the box before she even opened it to see what it was.
The reason is very simple, the harem is not allowed to interfere with politics, and Queen Changsun is in a high position and cannot accept gifts from powerful ministers casually, otherwise it will violate the etiquette and rules of the palace.
Muchuan knew that Queen Changsun would refuse. The Queen really lived up to her reputation as virtuous and virtuous.
"Queen, this gift is not from me. I was entrusted by others to deliver it."
"Entrusted by others?
I wonder who Master Mu was entrusted by?"
"The current prince is your eldest son, the queen."
When he heard this sentence, Ouyang Bufan was shocked next to him?
I bet this gift was prepared by Crown Prince Li Chengqian?
Impossible, impossible, Muchuan has never met Li Chengqian.
Ouyang Bufan suddenly started sweating. Muchuan was lying! He actually lied in front of the majestic queen, saying that if he was found out, he would definitely be sentenced to "crime of deceiving the emperor."
The key is that Empress Changsun did not doubt it and really took what Muchuan said to be true.
"It turns out it was given by that kid Cheng Qian, so let me take a look at what he gave."
Queen Changsun opened the red brocade box and found that there were many things inside, which she had never seen before, so she asked what they were.
Muchuan replied: "These are the immortal objects that His Highness ordered me to go to the Western Regions to find. These immortal objects have the effect of delaying women's aging and skin care."
In fact, what is placed in the box is not some fairy thing, but a modern skin care product set! There are four pieces in total, facial cleanser, facial cream, repair cream, and facial mask, which Muchuan spent points to redeem from the system.
, worth a lot of money.
Empress Changsun had a complicated expression on her face at this time. She was naturally happy when she heard that these "fairy things" could delay aging for women and beautify their skin. After all, women of all ages and generations love beauty, not to mention that she was still in the imperial court.
The Queen must still please Li Shimin.
The problem is that Empress Changsun has never used these "modern tricks". She doesn't know how effective these things are and whether they will cause harm to the human body.
Muchuan could see Empress Changsun's doubts, so she made a demonstration for her on the spot.
"Queen, this is facial cleanser, this is how it is used..."
Muchuan called a palace maid over, and then performed a series of medical beauty treatments such as face washing, skin care, and repair on the palace maid's face.
After one stick of incense, you can see that the palace maid's face has taken on a new look, as if she were peeling an egg.
Everyone present was in an uproar. After all, in this era of the Tang Dynasty, the concept of "beauty" was far from popular. If ordinary women wanted to dress themselves up, they could only use basic rouge, gouache, costume jewelry, etc., and they were far from being able to pass it.
Improve your skin to achieve a "beauty look" effect.
At this time, you can hear the maids whispering around you.
"After using Master Mu's items, my skin has indeed become softer! I'm so envious!"
"I want these things too. What kind of fairy is this that is so amazing?"
