Chapter 651 Make Masks for the Empress Dowager and De Concubine
From what the husband said, the fourth child was a romantic and passionate man, and the fourth wife was an ugly and infatuated woman.
He couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and felt that it was ridiculous.
First, the fourth child has a stern face, but there is nothing romantic about him?
The second is that the fourth daughter-in-law's face is considered to be one of the best in the palace. She is so ugly that she really can't be compared to her.
Now it seems that part of what Mr. Storyteller said was right.
His infatuation with Lao Si is true. He tried his best to help Lao Si treat his stomach disease before, and later even risked his life to save Lao Si once. Now that he sees Lao Si looking like this, it can be regarded as a deep affection.
I just wonder if the fourth child is passionate about his wife?
I took a subtle look at the Fourth Master and found that there was still nothing visible on his face.
The two of them were married and had shared weal and woe, so it wouldn't hurt if the fourth child really doted on them.
After all, Emperor Kangxi was a little fond of the house, and because he preferred Chubby, he was a little more fond of Chu Yu.
She said in her heart that as long as the fourth child doesn't pamper her alone and doesn't touch any of the women in the backyard, that'll be fine.
Like the boss, he gets angry when he thinks about it.
From this point of view, the fourth master and his wife are more pleasing to the eye.
Emperor Kangxi then stopped paying attention to the Fourth Master and his wife, and began to express condolences to the Queen Mother's health.
After a face-to-face meeting with Chu Yu, he knew that what happened yesterday had nothing to do with the assassin, and the fourth wife should be safe and sound.
After a while, Pangpang woke up and played with everyone for a while. Emperor Kangxi started to get busy again with his elder brothers.
Chu Yu and Concubine De were also successfully left by Emperor Kangxi to look after the Queen Mother.
Chu Yu felt that she might be in the Queen Mother's cabin in the next few days.
She also understood what Emperor Kangxi meant, which was just to make the old man happy here.
This matter is actually simple and easy, but it is a bit difficult for Chu Yu.
Because Chu Yu always felt that the Queen Mother seemed to be a little prejudiced against her face.
She was afraid that her old man would be angry when he saw her face.
But the boss couldn't go against his wishes, so I happened to see if I could take this opportunity to save my impression in the Queen Mother's mind.
There was no point in sitting with three people at this moment, and just sitting there like this, Chu Yu felt that he was about to face embarrassment.
No, we have to find a way to get the two of us active.
Chu Yu's eyes rolled, and she stood up and saluted the two of them:
"Queen Mother, Mother, why don't my daughter-in-law make facial masks for you today?
Facial masks can very well replenish the moisture in our skin.
This happens to be the season when winter and spring change. The weather is very dry. If you don’t take good care of your skin, your skin will become dry and flaky.”
The Queen Mother has never heard of this facial mask.
Immediately he asked curiously: "Facial mask?"
In fact, Chu Yu also paid tribute, but she sent too many things. The servants just made a list, and the Queen Mother did not read it in detail.
"Exactly, Queen Mother, will my granddaughter-in-law give it a try to you today?"
After hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at Concubine De: "This is a novel thing. The Ai family has never heard of it."
Concubine De knew about this thing called facial mask, because Chu Yu's shop sold it, and he would often bring her two boxes.
However, De Fei didn't really like the feeling of having something applied to her face, so she used it once and never used it again.
"Empress Dowager, my fourth daughter-in-law is usually willing to study these things. Why don't you try it today? I will accompany you."
The Queen Mother laughed after hearing this: "Then, let's try it."
Chu Yu smiled and nodded in agreement: "Hey, grandson-in-law will let them prepare."
Then Chu Yu asked someone to prepare fresh cucumbers, crush some, cut some cucumber slices, and squeeze some cucumber water over.
There was no good lotion, lotion, or essence at this time, so Chu Yu used cucumber juice to pat her face every night, and the effect was surprisingly good.
He also asked Xing'er to pick up the facial mask that Zao'er had given her before.
One bottle is made of lard, which is a bit greasy, but has a very good moisture-locking effect.
There is also a bottle for exfoliation.
Then let them get some rose water and lavender water.
I brought over two bottles of essential oil for massage and her scraping board.
When the servants brought everything over, both the Queen Mother and Concubine De were surprised.
There were several large trays with bottles, cans, and strange-shaped gadgets.
"Are these what you use on a daily basis?" The Queen Mother was a little surprised. She had never seen many of them before.
Chu Yu nodded: "Each of these things have their own uses and their functions are different.
Queen Mother, my granddaughter-in-law will do it for you first, can you take a look first?"
Chu Yu didn't dare to do it to the Empress Dowager first, and thought about letting her finish watching what Concubine De did. If she could accept it, he would do it again.
The Queen Mother also found it very novel and nodded with interest.
Chu Yu then found a small couch and asked Concubine De to lie down on it.
First, she cleaned her own hands, and then used a clean and soft little fat to wash and scrub De Concubine's face several times.
Then the daily steps began.
While Chu Yu was doing it, he explained it to the Queen Mother and Concubine De.
Aunt Fang and Qiu Ju were also listening attentively.
Women really can't resist beauty.
Whether they are from the Qing Dynasty or modern times, they all have a strong interest in things that can make them beautiful.
First, I used an exfoliator on De Fei.
Because it seems that De Fei's cuticles are relatively thick, there are even some slightly clogged pores at both ends of her nose.
First, she applied a hot towel to De Fei's face, then exfoliated her skin. After exfoliating, she applied essential oils. Chu Yu added some roses to these essential oils, which also have the effect of whitening and lightening spots.
I used my hands to help De Fei smooth out the entire face. I originally wanted to use a scraper, but I was afraid that I couldn't control the strength of the scraper, and this time was not suitable.
After normal facial gua sha, it is best not to put on makeup for three or four hours, but this was still happening at the Queen Mother's place, so she didn't use the gua sha board.
Just massage it gently with your hands to absorb it.
For about ten minutes, I was helping Concubine De to clear her face.
De Fei's skin seems to have not been well nourished for a long time, and she has dry skin, so she absorbs essential oils very quickly.
The changes are also visible to the naked eye.
The Queen Mother saw that Concubine De's somewhat dry skin became moisturized and even a little red, and the sagging seemed to have improved a lot. She opened her eyes wide and exclaimed the miracle.
Then Chu Yu wiped the essential oil on De Fei's face, cleaned it, and began to apply cucumber slices on her face.
