Wen Xiaotu was putting on makeup in front of the mirror. She poured out the liquid foundation in advance and put it into a jade pot spring bottle before she dared to use it in front of the palace people.
Bi Xin looked at her master's face after layers of application, covering up all the scars and spots. She was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out, "This slave has always been curious, where did the master get it from?"
What a good thing? It’s so amazing!”
Wen Xiaotu said "Hmm" and said, "That, the emperor privately rewarded me." - Let's put it on the head of the Dog Emperor.
Bi Xin smiled and said, "The emperor is so kind to his master!"
At this time, Liang Wanguan reported from outside the curtain: "Master Jieyu, Doctor Fu is here to take your pulse!"
"Please!" Wen Xiaotu put down the rouge in his hand.
Then an old doctor with gray hair came in carrying a mahogany box and said, "The humble minister Fu Huanxi pays his respects to Jieyu."
After bowing, Dr. Fu was about to step forward to take a pulse when he saw Wen Jieyu's face - it was snow-white and bright, with almost no flaws visible. Even though she had heard about it earlier, now that she saw it, she still found it incredible.
Wen Xiaotu smiled warmly, pointed to the jade pot spring bottle at hand and said: "This is the makeup powder given by the emperor. When applied on the face, it can cover scars and marks. It's just that I got this thing by chance, just these few bottles.
I heard from the emperor that Dr. Fu is good at making facial ointments and makeup powder, so I would like to trouble the imperial doctor to try to make a few bottles of makeup powder."
Doctor Fu suddenly realized it. He stroked his beard, then took the jade pot spring vase, carefully poured a small amount of the so-called "makeup powder" into the palm of his hand, and observed it carefully. The substance was like mud, thin and delicate.
, it is indeed different from ordinary makeup powder.
"Weak ministers should do their best," said Imperial Physician Fu, cupping his hands.
Wen Xiaotu asked Hongguo to take thirty taels of silver and gave it to Imperial Physician Fu as research and development expenses. With her position, Jieyu's annual salary was three hundred and sixty taels, which meant that she gave it all at once.
One month's salary.
I have to say it still hurts a bit.
Doctor Fu added some weight, but it wasn't too much, so he accepted it safely, "Jieyu, please don't worry, it's just makeup powder mixed in water, and it hangs without sinking. Add some fish bone glue and it will be almost the same."
Already."
Wen Xiaotu was stunned, animal glue again? Glue was also added to the previous ink, but it was relatively cheap bone glue.
"Then please leave it to Dr. Fu."
Dr. Fu is really an expert at making cosmetics, but within seven or eight days, the first finished product was delivered, but it was not a liquid foundation, but a semi-solid and semi-liquid foundation...
Looking at the small round box with enamel peony pattern in front of me, it has a red label of "Pearl Jade Powder Cream" on it. After opening it, it contains a light-skinned foundation. I dig out a little with my index finger and twist it gently. The texture is quite good.
It's delicate, but I don't know how it will look on the face.
Hong Guo said with a smile: "The materials used in this box of powder are very expensive. Dr. Fu used two qian of pearl powder, honey, frankincense, fish bone glue, agarwood, etc., plus good goose fat."
Made by blending.”
"Goose fat?" Big goose fat? Wen Xiaotu sweated, no wonder it looked greasy.
This is the case with facial ointments in this era. They all add oil, either sweet almond oil, mutton fat, or goose fat. It is more like an ointment than a facial ointment. Therefore, after applying the facial ointment, your face will inevitably feel oily.
, and then apply makeup powder to control oil.
Fortunately, there wasn't too much oil in this box of powder. Wen Xiaotu took out her makeup brush with some hope and started applying makeup on herself. The makeup brush in her mustard space was made of solid wood and wool.
, it’s almost the same as a writing brush, so it’s not that strange when you take it out.
She took the foundation and brushed it all over her face and gently applied it evenly. "It's not very greasy, but it's a bit thick... and it's too white." It felt like painting a wall.
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but sigh, "The concealer is pretty good, let Dr. Fu continue to improve it."
Then, she endured her heartache and said: "Go and get another thirty taels of silver for Dr. Fu!" - This powder is often made of pearl powder and fragrant with agarwood. She knows that the cost is not low. She can't let Dr. Fu do it himself.
Dig your wallet.
My wallet!
Wen Xiaotu shed tears for herself.
Hong Guo responded "Yes" and sent the maid Xiao Yu to run errands, "By the way, Master, Concubine Lin Xian's birthday will be in two days. Look..."
Wen Xiaotu was silently filled with guilt, was he about to bleed again?
Hey, wait a minute, during her time as the beloved concubine, she has received many rewards and gifts one after another. Wen Xiaotu touched her chin and said, "Take out two pieces of jewelry given by the emperor to congratulate the concubine on her birthday."
Hong Guo nodded and said: "Also, the third day of the next month is Lin Xuanshi's birthday. Lin Xuanshi is now considered his new favorite. Master, would you like to give me a congratulatory gift?"
Lin Xuan's position as a waiter was low. Logically speaking, she was not obligated to give birthday gifts. However, since she was just a waiter, she didn't have to give anything too expensive. She said, "You can pick two pieces of leather later and add one more."
I can get a piece of bright winter satin material." - She really has no shortage of silk and satin clothing materials now.
With Jieyu's position, she has ten mink skins and twenty fox skins every winter. Previously, the embroidery institute made sable cloaks and snow fox cloaks, as well as hand coverings, Zhaojun sets and other small items.
Bian'er was quick and careful, and everything was delivered.
The sable was almost used up, but half of the fox fur was left.
Bi Xin couldn't help but mutter: "Although the fox fur is not against the rules, it is too cheap. Lin Xuan is the servant."
Hong Guo said: "Servant Lin Xuan suddenly became favored and has been sleeping with him three times now. The master can't treat him lightly."
Although Wen Xiaotu didn't understand that the emperor had set aside the more beautiful Yu Meiren for Mao, but the people in Luo Cai didn't favor him, but chose Lin Xuanshi. Lin Xuanshi just went to bed with him again yesterday, but the concubine Xian has been absent for several months.
Summoning luck, one can imagine how upset Concubine Lin Xian must be.
That's all, what does this have to do with her?
Wen Xiaotu counted on her fingers. By the time Concubine Xian celebrated her birthday, she would be almost ready to give birth to a baby.
"Oh, by the way, the Queen Mother's birthday is also in winter." Wen Xiaotu suddenly said.
Hongguo offered her a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup, "Yes, although there is still more than a month, Concubine Xian and Xin Zhaorong are already busy."
Compared with Concubine Xian's little birthday, this is the most important event.
Bi Xin said sharply: "The Queen Mother is in a bad mood. She didn't want to stir up trouble at first, but the Emperor has spoken and said that it will be handled grandly. Now the two empresses are so busy that they can't even touch the ground, especially the Concubine Xian, who is even afraid of her own birthday.
I have no intention of taking care of it."
Being too close to the Queen Mother's birthday doesn't seem to be a good thing.
Hong Guo said with a smile: "As Concubine Xian is so busy, Attendant Lin Xuan can relax a bit."
Bi Xin whispered: "It was she who wanted to go to Jingyi Palace. Now she is afraid that her intestines will turn green with regret."
Wen Xiaotu chuckled, "Jiang Baolin and Cui Xuanshi are both envious and their eyes are red." - In the eyes of others, Lin Xuanshi was favored because he was close to the Xianfei tree, but
What the actual situation is, it's hard to say.
only the guy drinking water knows it's cold or hot.
