Song Yu, who was standing on the second floor of Kyoto Beauty, looked coldly at Guo Pin, who was kneeling on the ground and shivering. He pursed his lips tightly and clenched his hands, his knuckles turned white, but his heart was filled with joy that he had never felt before.
She recalled in her mind what her master had said to her when she first met Xiao Wenjun, "Follow me from now on, just do what you like, and you don't have to bow down to those people who are unworthy of their virtues and think they are superior. This is what I have given you."
Your confidence!"
Song Yu was born in a humble family and had a rough life experience. Due to the fact that he was a daughter, he had no talent for business and could not put it to use.
In recent years, disasters have occurred frequently in Daqi, and many people at the lower levels have been unable to survive and have sold their children and daughters. Her parents, for the sake of their young brother, sold her to a wealthy family as a maid.
The young lady from a wealthy family treated her well and taught him how to read and write. She thought her life would go on peacefully like this, and she would just marry a servant and the child would still be a slave. She had already accepted her fate!
But she didn't expect that a catastrophe was about to happen, and all the masters of the wealthy family were beheaded overnight, and the women were appointed to the Jiaofang Department. Her young lady could not bear the humiliation, and hanged herself to death while guarding the last dignity of the Shili family.
This was the first time Song Yu saw the terror and ruthlessness of imperial power!
She once again lived a wandering life until she met Xiao Wenjun. Xiao Wenjun was cold-tempered and did not show the slightest sympathy in front of her. Instead, he took off her slave status and directly handed over the management power to her.
Xiao Wenjun's actions were like a heavy hammer, breaking open her cold and hard shell and warming her fearful and lonely heart.
This trust is heavy, but she can bear it!
She was not afraid of directly confronting Concubine Guo, but the master behind her gave her courage. Afterwards, she stood outside and watched, only then did she realize how powerful she was and accomplished what she had always wanted to do. Her clenched hands showed nervousness.
Also excited.
…
At the same time, the Queen and Wang Guifei each moved an armchair close to the window, drinking tea while watching the farce happening downstairs, with a relaxed attitude, and occasionally making comments.
When she saw Xiao Wenjun killing people in the street, she sighed that the maple leaves this year were red enough.
The arrival of the Queen gave Xiao Wenjun an unexpected surprise. Her original plan was to rely on the power of the Wang Guifei to punish Guo Bin. Since the Queen is here, she will use everything she can in line with the principle of not wasting.
In order to assist Yu Wenyao in his previous life, Xiao Wenjun went out of his way to please the queen on his behalf. He treated the queen as his biological mother, served him considerately, took care of her meticulously when she was sick, and tried his best to find out the queen's preferences.
Therefore, Xiao Wenjun was very familiar with the Queen, familiar with what she was thinking, familiar with her every word and deed, and familiar with her reaction to every word she said.
In fact, this is more intimidating to Guo Concubine, after all, the queen is the first person in the harem.
The queen's visit was also due to her attraction to Xiao Wenjun.
Back to one day ago, Wang Guifei went to Kunning Palace to pay her respects to the Queen as usual. The Queen suddenly became interested and as usual, she left Wang Guifei to go to the Imperial Garden with her to enjoy the chrysanthemums.
After wandering around the imperial garden for a while, the two of them came to the pavilion for people to rest and sat down to drink tea and chat.
A gust of wind passed by, and the fragrance of Wang Guifei floated into the Queen's nose. It was a fragrance she had never smelled before. The fragrance of flowers was spicy and very special.
"Luo Xian, what kind of perfume did you change today? It smells so good." In private, the Queen always calls the Concubine Wang by her first name, and her conversation is more casual.
"Replying to my sister, I didn't use perfume today." Wang Guifei was stunned. Today, according to the instructions, she only used the perfume Xiao Wenjun gave her, and nothing else.
"I won't rob you. If you have any good things, I can't even ask for them?" the queen said angrily.
"Speaking of the use of fragrant powder, I actually used a medicinal liquid called fragrant water, which I only got yesterday." Wang Guifei's thoughts suddenly changed. Even if she told the queen about this matter, Xiao Wenjun would not reveal it.
One's own tricks.
"No wonder I have never smelled this kind of fragrance. It is very special. There is no sweet smell of powder, but it has a refreshing and cold smell." The queen sniffed carefully and said thoughtfully.
"My concubine feels the same way." It's not like Wang Guifei didn't hear the implications of the queen's words, but the amount of medicine in her hand was really pitiful. If she gave it to the queen, she wouldn't be able to use it for two days.
"When my sister has some free time, I'd like to prepare a few bottles for you. It would be perfect to refresh your mind." The queen didn't bother to be polite to her anymore, so she made it clear.
"Sister, I misunderstood. This perfume was not made by my concubine. It was bought from outside the palace, and there is only a very small amount." Wang Guifei showed a proper look of shame.
"Oh?" The queen's eyes turned from the chrysanthemums in the garden to the face of Wang Guifei, with a puzzled look in her eyes, "Is there anyone better at this than you?"
Because of the hidden disease of underarm odor, Wang Guifei spent countless efforts to learn how to blend and make incense. Over the years, she became a famous incense master. She even won the emperor's praise from Jingshu and used the spices burned in the incense burner of the Qing Palace.
Some are from her hand.
That's why the queen asked this question.
"Beyond the mountains there are mountains, and there are people outside the mountains, and there are few who are more powerful than this concubine." Wang Guifei said modestly.
"Yes." The queen nodded slightly, recognizing the concubine Wang Guifei's humility, which is why even a large harem only favored her.
If those women who relied on giving birth to a prince or relying on the emperor's favor were half as calm as her, the harem would be much quieter.
"Is this a newly opened spice shop outside the palace? You can leave the palace another day and bring some back to me."
The queen takes the initiative to ask for gifts, which is a good thing that many people in the world can only dream of!
"Back to sister, this is a newly opened drug store in Kyoto called 'Wenyuanfang'. The items in the store are not finished products, but are customized according to each customer's skin condition and facial features." Wang Guifei suppressed.
Keep the secret joy in your heart and let it come one by one.
"Why does this name sound familiar?" The queen frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly her eyes burst out with bright light. She was even more curious, but she still said lightly: "It is named after Princess Lanling, who has been in the limelight recently.
shop?"
"Sister is worthy of being the mother of the country. She cares about people's livelihood and knows everything about the world." Wang Guifei was caught off guard with her flattery.
After hearing this, the Queen was stunned and glanced at Concubine Wang twice. It was not until Concubine Wang's face turned crimson and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead that the Queen slowly looked back. But she became even more curious about Xiao Wenjun.
"My concubine has made an appointment to pick up some new perfume tomorrow and bring it to my sister when I greet her the day after tomorrow, okay?" Wang Guifei felt that the queen had seen through her thoughts and she did not dare to mince words anymore.
"No need, I will go with you. After listening to your introduction, I am also very curious about Wenyuanfang." The queen added in her heart that it was time to go and meet the girls of the Xiao family.
Wang Guifei was overjoyed and lowered her eyes to hide the joy in her eyes.
…
It was not until sunset that the two people who had watched the show got up with satisfaction and were about to return to the palace. Suddenly, a clear man's voice sounded outside the door.
