Leng Qiyue came to the kitchen, where the chef had already been replaced. They were all young people, and seeing that Leng Qiyue's clothes were simple, one of them stepped forward and said, "This lady looks very unfamiliar, which academy are you from? What's the matter? "

Leng Qiyue rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'm here to cook."

A person who looked like a chef laughed and said, "From the looks of it, you have a big stomach, I'm afraid you can't even hold a spatula anymore. What kind of food can you possibly cook?"

Concubine Rong walked into the kitchen and said, "This is the imperial concubine, why don't you all hurry up and greet her?"

The six cooks in the room quickly knelt down to greet her. They had not expected that this simple beauty would be their Imperial Consort.

Leng Qiyue said, "Exempt from formalities. Help me cut the vegetables, I'll make it."

Thus, Leng Qiyue led the chef to busy himself with cooking. In the end, she cooked a whole table of dishes. Although she didn't have to wash the vegetables and cut the vegetables, she was still extremely tired.

Mu Qingyao sighed in admiration as she looked at the exquisite dishes. "I didn't expect you to be so skilled. Amazing."

Rong Fei smiled, "There's a new restaurant in Beijing called the Immortal Assembling Pavilion. The chef there has been taught by big sister!"

Leng Qiyue asked in surprise, "Who opened it?"

Rong Fei thought for a moment and said, "I think she's called Aunt Hong."

"It's her. I haven't heard from her for a long time, so the restaurant is already open. No way, if you're free, you have to go split the money." Leng Qiyue thought about the matter of her own aid to the Red Lady to open a restaurant.

Mu Qingyao laughed, "You are already your imperial concubine. How much money do you have to split the money with the commoners?"

Rong Fei replied, "The Immortal Assembling Pavilion is filled with guests every day, and it's always like that from opening to closing. Every day's worth of silver is like flowing water, if we can get 10% of it, it'll be more than our monthly salary."

As for our monthly salary, Leng Qiyue said, "You probably don't know this, but ever since Han Liu took control of the phoenix talismans, the usage of our respective palaces has been reduced. Our days have also been very difficult!"

Rong Fei smiled, "Come on, who doesn't know that you are the most thrifty? Even though your monthly salary has been reduced, you still have a balance every month."

Leng Qiyue stuck out her tongue. "You even know that."

Rong Fei said, "Don't look at the fact that I'm not in the palace, the news is rather well-informed. You've also accumulated quite a bit of salary in the past, haven't you? "Can you lend me some for me to use?"

Leng Qiyue looked at Rong Fei with disdain, "Do you even need to borrow money?"

Rong Fei said gloomily, "You're a natural born beauty and can't give up on yourself. How can you be like me, who want to buy high-priced rouge powder!"

An idea came to Leng Qiyue's mind. "That's right, I don't need the rouge that the palace has given me. The rouge is too rough, so it won't look good if it can't be applied properly. There's too much lead in the powder, so if it is used too long, the skin will turn black." Why don't I open another rouge powder shop and I'm sure I can earn a lot of silver. "

This time, it was Mu Qingyao's turn to despise her. "Look, do you still have a consort? "He's simply a cunning businessman."

Leng Qiyue laughed, "How am I a profiteer? I never cheat in business, hmph, if you say I'm an evil merchant, then I definitely won't make you any rouge powder. "

Mu Qingyao knew that Leng Qiyue was a child, so she didn't argue with her. She covered her mouth and smiled.

Rong Fei had already ordered people to bring the dishes to her courtyard. She was drooling from watching the dishes, it would be too cold if she didn't hurry up and eat.

The three of them returned to Rong Fei's courtyard. Leng Qiyue also called Xiao Die over. This wasn't the palace anyways, there weren't many rules here. The four of them sat at the same table, eating happily.

It was still dark the day after the meal, so Leng Qiyue asked, "Are there any red flowers here?"

Rong Fei said, "Yes, there is. There is a lot of red powder all over the mountain."

Leng Qiyue suddenly became excited again. "Quick, take me there! I want to be the rouge!"

The four of them then went together to the foot of the mountain, where there were large flowers of all colors. Leng Qiyue said excitedly, "So many! Little Butterfly, you love flowers! Help me pick the fresh flowers. They don't have any poison in them."

"Yes, Empress." As soon as Xiao Die saw the flowers, she became excited and immediately rushed into the sea of flowers to pick a big basket.

Leng Qiyue hugged her back in satisfaction. Rong Fei shook her head and said with a smile, "Your stomach is already so big, and yet you still act like a child."

Mu Qingyao also smiled and said, "That's right. It seems to me that her character won't change."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They both liked Leng Qiyue from the bottom of their hearts.

When they returned to Rong Fei's courtyard, Leng Qiyue called for a eunuch to help her break the petals. She then used some clean gauze to extract the juice and filled a full bottle, which was about 200 milliliters.

Leng Qiyue said, "That's enough. You just need to soak in some more silk."

Rong Fei and Mu Fei looked at each other, and Rong Fei said, "Is that it?"

Leng Qiyue said, "Wait until the silk is soaked in red, then it will be dried and powdered. It will be the best rouge, and it won't hurt my face."

Rong Fei was very interested, so she took the bottle and looked left and right. Seeing how she didn't want to let go of it, Leng Qiyue smiled and said, "I'll give this bottle to you. You have to wait until all the silk has turned red before drying."

It seemed like she genuinely liked rouge. Actually, as a woman, wasn't that just for the sake of the appearance of someone she liked?

For the first time, a hint of greed appeared in Rong Fei's eyes as she asked, "Do you know how to make cosmetic powder?"

When Leng Qiyue heard this, she nearly stumbled and fell. She turned her head and asked, "Don't you have one?"

Rong Fei said with a red face, "Didn't you say that those things would cause your skin to turn black?"

Leng Qiyue helplessly said, "Water powder takes a long time to be made. Why don't you find some fine pearls and grind them into powder to cover your face? Your skin will definitely be tender and tender."

Mu Qingyao and Rong Fei said in unison, "Use pearls to cover your face?"

Leng Qiyue nodded. "That's right. How about you find some pearls and grind them into powder? I will help you make a mask."

"Alright, alright, I'll look for one now." It was the first time that Rong Fei had been so impetuous, and it was indeed a woman's nature to love beauty.

It wasn't easy to grind the pearls, so Rong Fei found several eunuchs to grind them together. Leng Qiyue also found some honey and eggs. She mixed the honey and egg white in a bowl and sprinkled some flour on them. These flour were fine white flour. After grinding it a few times, it became thin and white. After the pearls had been ground together, they mixed the pearl powder into a paste shape. Then, he said, "Okay, who wants to go first?"

Rong Fei and Mu Jun looked at each other, not daring to take the lead. Little Die, who was watching from the side, was eager to give it a try. She said, "Let this servant give it a try first."

Leng Qiyue nodded. "Alright, you wash your face with warm water first."

Xiao Die finished washing her face and laid on the deck chair, saying, "It's done."

Leng Qiyue helped Little Die put on her mask and made her lie still. After a quarter of an hour, Leng Qiyue made her wash her face. Rong Fei and Die Fei who had been watching Xiao Die's white face with lingering fear all rushed to wash their faces and lay down obediently after seeing her finish washing the skin.

Just as Leng Qiyue was about to put a face mask on them, Han Liu suddenly barged in with a group of people. She said unhappily, "Imperial Concubine, you're too willful. You're pregnant and you run around. I'm here to take you back to the palace."
