Chapter 390 Palace beauty against time

The empress dowager felt that holding the birthday ceremony for six days would be a waste of money and people, so she simply finished it in one day.

The birthday star is the sky, and the birthday star has the final say.

Emperor Yanwu saluted his son to the Empress Dowager, "The Empress Dowager is considerate of the common people. I thank the Empress Mother on behalf of all the people, and I will follow the Empress Dowager's opinion."

The first round of birthday ceremony is over, it's time for the second round.

Qing Zheyu of Taichang Temple came out again, holding the gift list in his hand, and chanted loudly: "Food is the most important thing for the people. This second round of birthday gifts is the 'Beijing Nine Pieces' that is popular in Yanjing at present, symbolizing good fortune and longevity. Nine kinds of pastries for happiness: Fu character cakes implying blessings, Taishi cakes representing blessings; birthday peach cakes symbolizing longevity, Xi character cakes with double "Xi" characters, silver ingot cakes full of wealth, and roll crisps with the rhyme of books Pancakes, chicken oil pancakes for 'auspicious occasions'; jujube pancakes for children and grandchildren, and lotus leaf pancakes for Jiahe Wanshixing. Please taste it to the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager laughed from ear to ear.

The birthday gifts are not expensive, but this kind of thought really warms people's hearts.

"Okay, okay, the emperor has a heart, and the minister of Taichang Temple has a heart. Come, let the little grandchildren of the Ai family come over, and each of them will share a piece. The Ai family will have fun with the grandson."

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, the grandchildren who were playing rushed over. The children were naturally sensitive to food, and stared at the nine pieces of pastries, drooling.

In fact, this pastry not only smells delicious, but also has different shapes, each one is different, making people wish to taste every piece.

After the little emperors and grandchildren finished sharing, they gorged themselves, and did not forget to lick their fingers after eating. The royal upbringing, all forgotten, these pastries are really delicious.

In the group of officials and envoys in Heshou, King Nanyuan straightened his back and looked at his son-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye. It's okay to look impeccable, the key is this wisdom, which is worthy of my daughter.

In the envoys of the Song Dynasty, someone in the back row was watching quietly, thinking in his heart, it must be her idea, she is the most clever in the world, if she is a cook, the chef of the imperial dining room, she can pack up her bed Roll went home. I don't know what surprises will come next?

As for King Feng, he watched all this with cold eyes.

That was supposed to be his cook, but she actually climbed onto a high branch.

The Ministry of Rites chanted the official way: "Continue to offer your life."

This time, when the birthday boys came with trays, all the harem concubines stared wide-eyed, because they had already seen the gifts.

The ceremonial band played ceremonial music.

No, in terms of ritual and music, it is not appropriate, it is a track that people have never heard. But when "the plain embryo outlines the blue and white strokes from thick to light", people feel that their ears are in heaven. The eldest princess Ying Zhezhe, who had no energy at all, suddenly became lively.

The Minister of Rites presented a gift, "The nine-piece blue and white national dress sponsored by the Blue and White Workshop makes the Empress Dowager wear a good mood and a good look every day."

The national dress made for the Queen Mother will be looser and more graceful.

The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand and touched the material, only to feel that the black bird on the clothes was about to fly, lifelike.

"Queen Mother, Zhezhe also has a set of clothes like this, but this one is embroidered with Suzaku, which is not as attractive as the Queen Mother's black bird." Ying Zhezhe said.

The queen mother withdrew her hand, and asked Baicaoshi: "Why does Aijia think that the black bird is about to fly?"

Baicao Shifu leaned down and replied: "Queen Mother, Shishi heard that the paintings on this blue and white dress were all painted by the great contemporary painter Duan Shaoyi. As early as in Wanzhou, his paintings were collected by His Majesty as a royal treasure." What about the museum?"

Only the most noble quality can match the dignity of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother accepted the gift with a smile.

By the fourth round, all the officials stretched their necks, wanting to see what new things would come next.

The strange thing is that this time, it was not Taichang Temple Qing Zheyu who presented the gift, but Baicaoshi.

"I've heard the saying that at twenty you have the face nature has given you, at thirty you have the face that life and age have molded, and at fifty you get the face you deserve. Whenever , Grace and elegance are the best qualities. If you want to be irreplaceable, you must be different.”

Nine gift boys brought gifts from nine trays.

is a small box, the box itself is very beautiful, and the beauty on the box is even more beautiful.

"The fourth round of gifts is a palace beauty and beauty anti-time package that is refined based on classical herbal prescriptions and does not cause any harm to the skin."

After finishing the Baicao Poetry, You Qi glanced at the seats of the concubines in the harem and let out a long breath. If it is really as Baicao Poetry said, does it mean that youth will remain forever, the face will remain the same, and the favor will continue?

The queen mother is very calm, that is the experience and peace that time has given her. She asked: "Shishi, is this gift rouge and gouache?"

Baicaoshi pursed her lips, calmly and confidently, "Not exactly, Queen Mother, Shishi brought some samples, and I can perform them on the spot for everyone, the effect of turning back time, so as to witness her legend of skin care and beauty."

Performing in person, what a confidence.

Baicaoshi looked at the audience, "Queen Mother, before the performance, please allow me to invite a makeup artist. The entire makeup will be done by her."

Makeup artists are also a rare species in this era. Does it have a face that is astonishing to heaven?

Amid the curiosity of everyone, Wen Xiang came up.

Hey, there are also two eyebrows, two eyes and a mouth, and the appearance is also average.

Under the scrutiny of everyone, Wen Xiang was extremely disturbed, but his mood was soaring to the sky. She didn't expect that Baicaoshi gave her such a big stage.

"Minister Wen Xiang pays homage to the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty. The Empress Dowager is as blessed as the East China Sea, and her life is longer than that of Nanshan."

The empress dowager raised her hand, "Let's get down. Shishi, can we start?"

Of course you have to sell enough, Baicaoshi showed a sly look under her eyes, "Is there any woman who is willing to come up to witness the miracle?"

Zhe Yu curled his lips, he knew that his wife was going to be a blockbuster again.

Although the concubines were dying of curiosity and eager to try, they couldn't bear face. Once on stage, how will I face the emperor in the future?

Seeing this, the queen mother said to the old maid next to her, "You should cooperate."

This old court lady has long passed the age of leaving the palace. She is in her thirties and has been with the Queen Mother all the time. The years have stained her face with wind and dust, and the wind knife has scratched down the mountains and rivers.

Baicaoshi was overjoyed, the queen mother is so awesome, to see her change into a living person.

The mirror was moved to the middle, and Wen Xiang had already taken the cotton puff and powder puff, and led the palace lady who was experimenting into her seat.

The first step is cleansing.

Herborist Xiangyi's spice bath beans are used.

After cleansing, there is not much change, just a vague feeling that the skin is more transparent.

Then there is hydration, essence, cream, foundation. Wen Xiang's fingers seemed to have been kissed by a butterfly, and they flew up and down. Everyone saw that the palace lady's complexion was getting whiter and whiter, like white porcelain, like beautiful jade.

After finishing the facial makeup, it's time for the most critical eye makeup and eyebrow makeup.

The ancient rouge is not so finely divided, it is equivalent to a rouge, which solves the multi-functional functions of eye shadow, blush, and flower tint.

After applying rouge, the last step is lip balm.

The palace lady in her thirties unexpectedly caught up with the beauty of a Jiji girl, which is really a miracle.

The Empress Dowager looked at the palace servants beside her, suddenly she didn't recognize her like a dream, it was so beautiful.

The grand lady looked at herself in the mirror, touched her face, and couldn't believe it. Putong knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, I hope that your face will always be as good as before."

This sentence is very clever.

Which woman in the world does not love beauty.

The harem concubines are already gearing up and vowed to find the same style of palace beauty and beauty against time. Especially Concubine Si. Ying Zhezhe is not worried, she has a good relationship with Baicaoshi, and she gets the moon first if she is close to the water.

After the surprise, the empress dowager suppressed the joy and enthusiasm in her eyes, and restored her majesty. "Your Majesty, Minister of Taichang Temple, Princess Shishi, Aijia likes the gift you prepared very much. However, Aijia agrees with what Shishi said just now. At fifty years old, I will get a face that I deserve. Ai's family is sixty-six this year, so don't think about turning back the clock, let it go to the concubine and princess."

As soon as this remark came out, the concubine and princess were about to jump, wishing to shout long live the queen mother, surpassing the emperor.

However, there are too many monks and too little porridge.

There is only a set of nine pieces in the reverse time gift box, who should I give it to?
