Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid: Bodhi Casts a Mirror Heart

Chapter 1 The new Buddha in front of the royal family (1)
I asked Qi Fang to deliver the golden cicada flowers overnight, and asked someone to inquire about Lan Sheng. At that time, because of my anxiety, I didn't sleep all night.

In the early morning of the second day, while I was looking at the account book with red eyes, I was thinking about how to arrange for Pearl to come over in the afternoon.Wei Hu came to report that Shi Qing, the head of the internal steward who was in charge of the emperor's diet and daily life, came to ask me for some Lan Sheng's clothes with him.I fell off the ledger and jumped up, rushing out.

Standing in front of Meilin Road was a fat and white eunuch, with a big round face that was painted almost pale, and on his broad forehead was Wusha Jinxian, the internal servant, who was pinching a fat round orchid and pointing to Wu Ru, an old acquaintance in Xifengyuan. Tu talked and laughed.This Shi Qingpei, fifty years away, was an eunuch who had accompanied the Holy Majesty since he was a child. He had saved Xuanyuan of the previous dynasty and the emperor of the current Holy Majesty during the Gengxu Revolution. He could be called a great hero in the eunuch world.But he never takes credit for himself, treats the people below with kindness, and always likes to use face powder to pretend to be a jester to please the emperor, so he is favored by the emperor and has a deep foundation in the palace.Feibai also mentioned that after he fell from the horse that year, he was also allowed to take care of him for a while, and the supplies of Xifengyuan were not interrupted anyway.When receiving family law in the dark palace, it was thanks to him reporting to the Holy One in time that he was not murdered by Xiying, so Fei Bai was also very polite to him.He also asked me to show my kindness to Shi Qingpei more often in order to repay the kindness of the year.

Coincidentally, before I returned to my original home, there was always a mysterious customer from the Northwest in the Yuzhuang Building and Yurentang in Guazhou, who often spent huge sums of money to buy a large number of beautiful clothes and high-end rouge and gouache. I like Yurentang's Jinhua lipstick and jasmine powder.At first, I was afraid that it was the Yuan Clan's dark people who pretended to go shopping and inquired about the news. Later, I inquired secretly and found out that it was actually Shi Qingpei who purchased the goods from the House of Internal Affairs of the Dating Dynasty at that time, and came to purchase in person.

I wanted to inquire about Feibai's news through him, so I got in touch with him secretly, and he became my super big client.At first, I always thought that he bought these rouge and gouache to present to his concubines or to reward young eunuchs and maids of honor. It is well known that people in this palace love beauty.

Gradually, he let me go, the cosmetics of the high-ranking concubines in the harem are all specially supervised by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the special-grade fragrance powder he bought from the Jade Hall is not only for some high-ranking concubines, but also for a large part. Used by wet nurses in the palace.The milk of these white and fat nurses is not only used for drinking, but also used in large quantities for facial cleansing.

Let’s say that today’s sage fought on the battlefield in his early years, and left a lot of root causes. There has been a kind of beauty-reducing folk prescription in the former court: “Daily intake of milk can nourish the five internal organs, make people fat, white and lustrous, replenish qi, cure thinness and haggard, pleasing the skin, and moisturizing the skin. Hair, prolong life..." The imperial doctor strongly recommended this Haishang, saying that the Holy Majesty must take human milk regularly, and apply human milk to old wounds or wash the face to moisturize the skin.The Holy Majesty is worthy of being a Holy Majesty, he did not hesitate to try this sea, and then raised a large number of wet nurses in the palace, and sometimes he would favor a few beautiful breasts when he was in a good mood.At the same time, the Holy Majesty believed very avant-gardely: if wet nurses are given high-quality fragrance powder, they will be happy physically and mentally, and the milk produced will be better, and it will be more nourishing and beautifying.

Shi Qingpei was obsessed with superstitious faith in the Holy Majesty, so he secretly raised five or six wet nurses in a private house outside the palace. He even snatched a small part of the top-grade rouge and gouache ordered by the House of Internal Affairs and secretly gave it to his private nurses to coax They are happy to increase milk production.

This is the same reason I heard in my previous life that some big farmers specially hired pianists to play "Moonlight Song" in the cowshed to increase milk and improve the quality.
