These things, investigation and processing, can only be barely completed after the first month.
Recently, the capital has been under martial law, and the control in the palace is also very strict.
Xiao Nianzhi has been in the Queen Mother's small Buddhist hall since she was sixteen. Except for Her Majesty's daily dispatch of people to ask questions about what happened at that time, she rarely goes out.
Yan Xingxuan has not left recently, and stays in the Queen Mother's Palace every day.
Go back to your own place to sleep at night, get up early in the morning to say hello, and then stay outside the small Buddhist hall, for fear of running into what happened before.
Aunt Yu also came to the palace. She went to the Xiao Mansion a year ago and then went to the palace to celebrate the New Year.
On the first day of the new year, because there were sheep giving birth at Zhuangzi, Aunt Yu was worried, so she hurried out of the palace and followed Xiao Nianzhi directly to the palace and missed it.
The master and apprentice have only met each other for the first month of the year.
Afterwards, the palace was under control, and Aunt Yu waited until the twenty-sixth day before entering the palace.
Don't worry about Xiao Nianzhi, Aunt Yu has never left.
Because he is an old man in the palace, both the Queen Mother and His Majesty can trust him, so now that he has entered the palace, he is directly sent to assist the queen in cleaning up the harem.
On February 2, after the dragon raises its head, the entire first month is truly over.
Xiao Nianzhi also prayed and recited sutras for Xiao's father for half a month, and then officially came out of the small Buddhist hall.
The Queen Mother looked at the little girl, who had obviously lost a lot of weight after eating vegetarian food for the past half month, and couldn't help but feel distressed.
Yan Xingxuan felt even more distressed.
The little girl experienced an assassination before and was almost kidnapped, and then went to pray again.
After suffering so much and suffering so much, why don’t you try to make amends for yourself?
The Queen Mother first asked the imperial doctor to check Xiao Nianzhi's pulse, and she felt relieved after knowing that she was in good health.
Although Yan Xingxuan wanted to mend Xiao Nian's weaving, he was reminded by the imperial doctor that his diet has been light recently, and he is eating too much fish and meat, and his body may not be able to bear it.
No matter how anxious Yan Xingxuan is, he can only take his time.
On the fifth day of February, Xiao Nianzhi returned to Qinglan Palace from the Queen Mother's Palace.
Because the matter is still under investigation, Xiao Nianzhi cannot leave yet.
Unable to leave the palace and unable to make cement, Xiao Nianzhi had no choice but to discuss with Yan Xingxuan to see if they should get some lipstick or something.
Yan Xingxuan also knew that it was pointless to stay in the palace, so Xiao Nianzhi said that he would prepare the materials immediately.
The main materials of lipstick are: beeswax and vegetable oil.
Among them, olive oil has a relatively small taste, and the others will be worse. But if you don’t have it, there is no substitute, such as almond oil, etc.
Although the amount extracted is small, you can still extract it if you want.
Moreover, the taste is relatively sweet.
However, there is currently no operation to extract oil from almonds.
When it comes to extracting vegetable oils, soybeans, peanuts and rapeseed are more commonly used.
In this case, Xiao Nianzhi needs to make almond oil himself.
Of course, in addition to vegetable oil, vitamin E is also inevitable in order to ensure better hydration and moisture and facilitate antisepsis.
Vitamin E is divided into natural and chemically synthesized. As soon as you hear it, you will know that the natural one is definitely better.
However, natural ones are also more difficult to extract.
Xiao Nianzhi also learned from the books in the study that the vitamin E content in wheat germ is quite high, and if you want to extract it, the operation is not complicated.
Before the materials were ready, Xiao Nianzhi was busy working on the corresponding extraction tools.
After writing down the names of the things needed and the corresponding drawings, and handing them over to Yan Xingxuan's bodyguard, Xiao Nianzhi called Isatis Lan over.
The sixth day of February is Yan Xingxuan’s birthday.
Although I am trapped in the palace now, my birthday still has to be celebrated.
Last year, Yan Xingxuan asked himself if he would have a gift for his birthday, and Xiao Nianzhi said yes.
You can't make a mistake now, right?
Thinking of this, Xiao Nianzhi began to think about what kind of gift he should give?
Food must be prepared, but is it just food?
That is definitely not enough.
But for other gifts, one day is not enough.
In fact, Xiao Nianzhi has been thinking about this matter for the past few days. He also thought about this when he was not chanting sutras at the small Buddhist hall.
Of course, she not only thought about it, but also made some.
After picking and choosing, I finally picked something that I was barely satisfied with.
Now we need some skeletons and the like to assemble it into a finished product, and then we need to check the final finished product effect.
The production process of this gift is quite troublesome, and due to limited conditions, the final effect will definitely not be as amazing as in modern times.
Even so, Xiao Nianzhi still prepares seriously.
She also deliberately sent Yan Xingxuan away today to leave enough time to prepare gifts.
Yan Xingxuan also had some vague guesses in his heart.
After all, how could he not remember his birthday in another day?
Time passed quickly as Xiao Nianzhi was busy.
In the evening, she took out the gift she had received after working all day and tried it out.
Woad stood aside and exclaimed, finding it very interesting.
After Xiao Nianzhi read it, he was not particularly satisfied.
If it weren't for the difficulty of being distracted at the small Buddhist hall before, in fact, if I had made it earlier, the effect might have been better.
But today's conditions are like this, and we can't force too much.
I hope Yan Xingxuan will like this gift, right?
After seeing the finished product, Xiao Nianzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That night, Xiao Nianzhi thought she would not sleep well, but in fact, she slept very well.
After all, when I woke up, I was in good spirits.
As soon as she got up early in the morning, she started to clean up.
Today is Yan Xingxuan’s birthday, so we need to prepare gifts and corresponding delicacies, right?
In fact, she doesn’t really need to prepare delicious food.
Because the Queen Mother had prepared a family banquet and specially sent someone to invite Xiao Nianzhi to attend.
Xiao Nianzhi carefully wrapped the gifts that he had prepared, and then tidied them up again. Before going out, he checked them carefully and found that he couldn't choose the right outfit, so he was ready to go out.
As soon as she went out, she saw that Yan Xingxuan was already waiting for her in the courtyard. He just didn't want her to be anxious and panic and make mistakes again, so she never made a sound to remind her.
Today's Yan Xingxuan has obviously dressed up carefully. The rich purple gown and purple jade hairpin add a bit of nobility to his whole person and make him look more dignified.
However, the moment he saw Xiao Nianzhi, all his dignity was gone. He grinned directly, revealing his big white teeth. He looked inexplicably silly, but it made Xiao Nianzhi feel the softest
Sincerity.
She couldn't help but laugh too, and saluted Yan Xingxuan slightly: "Happy birthday, brother, may everything go as you wish every year."
The little girl's voice is soft and full of laughter.
Yan Xingxuan was originally in a good mood when he got up early, but after seeing Xiao Nianzhi, he felt even better.
At this time, when I heard this beautiful blessing again, I always felt that what my sweetheart said was different from what others said.
Although what others said was good words and sentences, and good blessings, they were not as nice as what Xiao Nianzhi said.
He was originally grinning, smiling a little silly.
Hearing these words again, I laughed even more stupidly, but I still didn't forget to take two steps forward and asked in a low and gentle voice: "Did you bring the stove? Did you bring spare clothes?"
