Your Majesty, please do not disturb, the empress only wants to engage in business

Chapter 24 Sisters

The atmosphere in Chuxiu Palace today was very tense. Whether it was the newly promoted concubines, the maids serving them, and the teaching nuns, they all got up early and walked around in Chuxiu Palace.

No one else, because today is the day when the newly promoted concubines meet the queen, and it is also the first big test of the rules they have learned during this period, so no matter who they are, they are very nervous.

There are strict rules in the palace, and these girls are also very disciplined at home. No one will make mistakes in the rules, but after arriving in the palace, they still feel at a loss and feel uneasy.

Fortunately, after two or three days like this, I got used to it, and learned the rules that should be learned bit by bit, and the contradictions between the newcomers emerged.

They are all girls of this age, and they are all pampered at home. When they are in the palace, they are not as good as at home. The food and clothing are not so perfect, let alone the living location is not good. Not to mention the small room, a group of people It is always inconvenient to be crowded together and crowded with people.

So when you come and go, there will be conflicts, and when there are conflicts, some people will come out to stand in line, those who see injustice and help each other, and some who stand by and watch the fire from the other side. Most people have different personalities, but living under the same roof, they are still affected by each other. more.

These things would be handed to the bedsides of Chengqian Palace, Changchun Palace, and Kunning Palace by the little eunuchs every night.

Although the concubines didn't say anything, they secretly regarded these things as jokes, and used these methods to relieve the loneliness and boredom in the palace. If there were no fights in the palace, life would be boring. Those who have children are better off. Children can also relieve boredom, and those who have no children like imperial concubines are naturally very concerned about the excitement in the palace.

Yao Jinse is also secretly observing, but her focus is much clearer than others. One day, she watched the heroine help a certain girl from a low background. I heard that the heroine has become a sister with a beautiful girl who was born in a great family around her. In short, there are constant news from Chuxiu Palace, and her excitement has not stopped.

Of course she knows what this is about. Although the heroine is not the kind of person who is good at forming cliques, the setting at the beginning of the story focuses on the kindness of the heroine. Qiao Yanran's background is neither high nor low , but it was enough for her to protect herself among the beautiful women in the harem, and she was kind-hearted, so she won the support of the beautiful woman she helped, and was also favored by the daughter of a high official.

Everyone wants to be friends with a person of good character, which is always the same.

The direction of the story is not different from Yao Jinse's memory, but today, I don't know if the imperial concubine will do something different from what she remembers.

Yao Jinse sat in front of the dressing table, looked at her own face reflected in the bronze mirror, and opened the box in front of her.

Recently, she has been reading books when she has free time. In fact, there are not many books that can be found for concubines in the palace, and there are naturally fewer books related to medical skills. On the contrary, books such as how to make incense and how to embroider are looking for. It's a lot easier.

This is also expected by Yao Jinse. If medical books are not difficult to find at all, then everyone in the harem has medical skills, and the danger level may have to be raised by several dimensions.

And this incident also reminded her that when she was looking for books later, she paid special attention to collecting some books on incense making and embroidery, not only for deceiving people, but also for real use.

Because in this era, most of the cosmetics used in the palace will be mixed with some lead, and Yao Jinse dare not use that on his face.

So she could only learn to make some makeup by herself. Although she hadn't done any research in this area in her previous life, she had also seen the Red Chamber, and she still remembered some of the scenes in it.

Just like the hosta flowers in the box in front of her. The flowers are tied with a very thin red thread, and the powder she made by grinding and steaming mirabilis seeds is inside. After a few days of precipitation, it becomes this pair. appearance.

Although it can't be regarded as a complete restoration, it has a somewhat serious appearance. The most important thing is that this powder will never be fake white like lead powder, nor will it be bad.

In addition, Yao Jinse and the maid also made a kind of bead powder, but because the gold leaf is rare, the amount obtained is very small, and Yao Jinse has no plans to use it at this time.

There is no need to rush until it is always useful in the future.

This kind of powder is very troublesome to make, and Yao Jinse doesn't want to spend more time on it. Instead, she is more interested in making spices.

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, embroidery and incense making, these tasks that are very expensive to learn in modern times, were also time-consuming in ancient times, but in the palace, they can also be regarded as a good pastime to pass the time.

"My lord, let's hurry up. Today, there are all concubines gathered in Kunning Palace. I heard that even Concubine Jing has come out for a walk. On such a day, my lord can't be too late."

Yao Jinse has never been late, but she needs to be early at this time today, if she is not late, I am afraid that people will look at her.

Yao Jinse naturally knew what Bai Tan said. She fell asleep the first night and the emperor got up early the next day to greet the queen. No one cares more about the rules of survival in the harem than she does. I am late.

I picked out some powder from the flowers with a hairpin, applied it on my lips to create a natural lip color, and then evenly spread the rest of the powder on the cheeks on both sides. It looked the same as usual, but usually It just looks mature, and today's Yao Jinse is extraordinarily charming.

It is indeed not easy to live under the concubine's hands now, but there is no need to dress herself up so old, Yao Jinse knows her appearance well, not to mention comparing with the concubine, even if she is compared with the concubine Yi, she It is also incomparable.

That being the case, why do you have to dress yourself up so old?

Not to mention others, she was not happy to see it herself.

Picking out an inconspicuous palace attire, and letting Bai Tan use her dexterous hands to pull a Liuyun bun on the back of her head, Yao Jinse left Yuxiu Palace, and when she arrived at Kunning Palace, half of the concubines were still there. did not arrive.

However, it didn't take too long for the rest of the people to arrive. On such a day today, even Concubine Rong would not be rude, so it was very peaceful at first.

The empress is wearing a phoenix robe today—this dress is similar to the emperor's dragon robe, except that the emperor's dragon robe is worn every day, while the queen's phoenix robe is only used on important occasions.

Nine lifelike phoenixes were embroidered on this robe, and the phoenix crown covered with gold silk and beads was gorgeous and gorgeous, but it felt heavy to look at. Yao Jinse also felt amused when he saw the look that flashed in the eyes of the imperial concubine from time to time.

Perhaps this is a sweet burden, and there are always people who want to bear this hard work.

But before everyone started talking, there was already the sound of neat footsteps outside, and the concubines who had just entered the palace had already entered in order.

Regardless of their high or low positions, the concubines have their own expressions on their faces, but no matter what, from today onwards, everyone in this room will be sisters.

　Two updates will start tomorrow
