The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 274 New Cosmetics

Just after Maoshi, the carriage stopped at the gate of Prince Yong's mansion. When he came back today, Hongli was really moved. She was not awake yet. He hugged her and got out of the carriage together. The two of them returned to their childhood. The courtyard, I am looking forward to it.

When Zarafin opened his eyes, he found himself back in the bedroom of the mansion.

"Ah, are we back?" Zarafin became curious.

Hongli nodded: "Didn't you always want to come back and live for a while? Instead, I came back with you today."

Zarafin pursed his lips and laughed, in the bedroom there were only two beds separated by a screen, and Hongli happened to be talking through the screen.

"Get up quickly, we are going to sacrifice to heaven later." Hongli said.

"Tortoiseshell, come here quickly!" Hai Yihu's small face wrinkled together.

Hearing the master's call, the tortoise quickly led the servants out of the inner bedroom. Zarafin sat cross-legged on the bed and watched the tortoise bring the people in. She sat in front of the bronze mirror and quickly got acquainted with the grooming .

She put on the goose-yellow uniform that Hongli specially asked her to bring, stepped on the bottom of the flowerpot embroidered with silver thread on the elegant white background, and the head of chrysanthemums of platinum mother-of-pearl on her head, and walked out with the tortoiseshell .

Hongli looked at Zarafin in front of him, with a light makeup on her face, and she painted a reddish vermilion lip, according to the current habit, it must be small lips, definitely not like Zarafin.

"Ah Hun, will it be very different?" Zarafin specially asked Neizao to make it before the Chinese New Year. This was her first attempt at making cosmetics.

Before time travel, Zarafin was obsessed with DIY lipstick for a while, and bought a lot of materials on a certain treasure.

Of course, the things in the palace are definitely better than those on a certain treasure, and the ones made are really moist enough.

"Well, it seems to be more moisturizing than Erniang's lipstick." Hongli looked at her condition, which was obviously better than that used by the queen.

"Hey, I'm going to give it to my aunt tomorrow." Zarafin looked at the tortoiseshell, she took a small red sandalwood box from the inner bedroom, she took it and opened it, the inside of the box was not velvet, and put a platinum lipstick .

"It still looks very delicate." Hongli really took a lot of things when he saw the female relatives touch up their makeup.

He looked at Zarafin's pouch and dug out lipstick and eyeliner, all done in a modern fashion.

"It's very convenient." Hongli praised.

Zarafin grinned: "Hey, I did it myself, it looks very convenient."

Later, Hongli and Zarafin went to the main hall in a carriage together, accompanied Yongzheng and the queen, and had lunch together. Zarafin gave the queen the cosmetics he had prepared.

"Jiaojiao, did you ask Neizao to make this?" The queen looked at the contents inside and listened to Zarafin's instructions on how to use it, sighing in her heart that it is very convenient and quick.

"Well, aunt, it's a bit rough, but I really like it." Zarafin looked at the tortoiseshell, took the purse from her hand, and opened it directly. The color of the cosmetics is a little different, and these are more suitable for Zarafin little girl.

"Jiaojiao's talent is good." Yongzheng looked at it for a while, and found that these things are extraordinarily delicate, "Yuan Shou, you two are so private that you can open a shop, such things, many women in the upper class will like it .”

Hongli looked at him in surprise: "Khan Ama, didn't you say that you can't open a shop?"

"I'm just saying that to the outside world. In fact, which prince doesn't have any property in private, look at your ninth uncle." Yongzheng was really helpless to Yinzhen. When he went to court, he directly said that he wanted to do business and helped manage the shops of the imperial merchants. .

"Yuan Shou, after Jiaojiao enters the palace, it will definitely cost some silver taels. It would be better if more preparations are made." The Queen nodded and agreed with Yin Zhen.

Zarafin blushed a little: "Auntie, I think it's better to let Ah Hun set up his own shop."

"Ama, I will make good preparations. This store should be recorded in her pretend." Hongli said directly.

Zarafin showed helplessness on his face: "Ah Hun, I don't want it."

"Ah Hun gave you a birthday present, not to mention, you saved me this time, shouldn't I give you a gift in return?" Hongli looked at Zarafin, "Could it be that your life, Ah Hun, is not worth these things?" Is it? This is called a long stream of water."

Zarafin listened to his words and knew that if he refused, Hongli would be unhappy, so he just said it directly.

"Since Yuanshou wants to give it to you, take it." The queen said directly.

Zarafin nodded: "Since Ah Hun wants to give it to me, I'll go ahead."

"Ama, Erniang, when will you go to sacrifice to heaven tomorrow?" Hongli asked.

They were originally offering sacrifices to heaven today, but Qin Tianjian said that today is not suitable for offering sacrifices to heaven, so they can only wait one more day.

"Tomorrow's Maoshi, the two of you have to get ready, you know?" Yongzheng asked.

"Yes!" Hongli and Zarafin nodded in agreement.

The queen waved at Zarafin: "Jiaojiao, use these powders tomorrow, I think it looks great."

"Auntie, if you like it, I have already handed over the prescription to Neizao, hoping to improve it even more." Zarafin said.

"Well, let Neizao handle it." The Queen nodded.

"These things are basically the most basic, and those people have changed a lot." Zarafin said, "Auntie, according to the color you like, I have prepared a few more."

The queen liked the preparations made by Neizao very much. Yongzheng was so happy to see her that he asked Su Peisheng to send 100 taels of silver, which was regarded as a reward.

"Jiaojiao, these colors are very beautiful. I can see your color. Is this used on the lips? Is it lip gloss?" The queen asked directly.

Zarafin pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Auntie, you must not rub this on your face, otherwise, the color will definitely not look good."

After hearing Zarafin's words, the queen had some calculations in her heart, with a smile on her face.

"Let's take a look first. If it's used well, I'll make more for the concubines in the backyard. Don't say it's always about me." The queen looked at Yongzheng and said.

Hongli secretly squeezed her hand, telling her not to read it.

"Ah, let's go back first, I just need to take a lunch break." Zarafin said in a low voice.

The queen watched the two little figures leaving quietly, and sighed helplessly, these two children.

"Jiaojiao, if you encounter a similar situation next time, don't talk, just run away." Hongli laughed.

Since he was a child, he lived with the queen. In the main courtyard, the three of them seemed to be a family, and their relationship was much better than other courtyards.

"Understood, Hun, do you think we really want to open a shop?" Zarafin didn't expect that Yongzheng would support Hongli and her to open a shop.

At first she thought about this idea, and after remembering her situation, she suppressed it abruptly.
