Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 282

As for the emperor, Shu Ning would cry with her, or play the piano for her, and specially played sad songs, so that she could cry as much as she wanted, and when the tears stopped flowing, she would naturally stop crying, and The mood will also change for the better.

This is Shu Ning's way of comforting people. Although it feels a bit cheating, she has always done it this way. The queen often said that the way the imperial concubine comforts people is very special, because after she cried, her eyes would be swollen for two days.

At that time, the empress would hide in Qifeng Palace to seduce her eyes, and leave all the palace affairs to the noble concubine. Who would let her be the culprit!

Regarding the queen's behavior of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the imperial concubine said that one plate of red date cake cannot calm her down, at least three plates are needed.

Shu Ning didn't take the piano, so she just picked a leaf and played it. This is what she learned from her brother. She hasn't played for many years. I don't know if her hands were born.Several of her elder brothers learned a lot of messy things in the military camp, and then she also learned some things, and blowing tunes with leaves is one of them.

A song of three plum blossoms blew out from under the leaves in Shuning's mouth, asking what is love in the world?Zhijiao people agree with each other in life and death.

The more Shu Ning played, the sadder she became. Many maids in Qifeng Palace were crying secretly when they heard it, and wanted to ask the imperial concubine what song they were playing?It's so sad.

As the songs followed one after another, the crying inside gradually stopped.Shuning dropped the leaves when she couldn't hear her anymore.She couldn't hold on any longer, her mouth was so sore.

"Come in? What are you doing outside?"

The queen's voice came out, and Shuning smiled and opened the door and went in.

"Aren't your eyes swollen today? It feels like the time to cry will be shorter." Shuning leaned on the pillar and asked lazily.

"Do you want me to cry as long as possible?" The queen wiped her face and had someone bring warm water in.

Nanny Chen came in with water to cleanse the master's face.

"That's what you said, and I didn't say anything."

Shu Ning firmly refused to admit it, she didn't mean it at all, okay?Besides, if the queen cries for too long and her eyes become swollen, it's not her own bad luck.

"But you think so."

After the queen cleaned her face, she wiped a layer of fat on her face. She cried for too long just now, and the skin on her face was a little tight.

"You know how to penetrate the mind? No, how do you know what I'm thinking?"

Shu Ning spread her hands, expressing that Queen, you are wronging me.

"Pfft, in terms of words, there is no one in the entire harem who is a match for my sister."

The queen put on a little more powder to cover up the paleness of her face.

"It's better to use less of this powder, the stuff in it hurts a woman's face. If you want to apply it, I'll ask Mei Dong to bring it to you. Don't apply these."

Seeing the queen wearing powder, Shu Ning reminded her to come.Most of the ancient rouge contained lead, which is definitely the biggest killer of a woman's appearance.

"I know, you see, what I applied was given by Mei Dong. Since you said it, I haven't applied other rouge and gouache."

The queen showed the cover to Shu Ning, and it was only after Shu Ning told her that she knew that although the rouge and gouache with lead would make people look whiter, it was also easy to make women look old.

Although she is hopeless for love, she still cherishes her appearance very much.Hearing Shuning's words, she was so scared that she almost dropped the compact in her hand on the ground.Afterwards, Mother Chen put them all away and never used them again.

"I'll ask Mei Dong to make some more and send them to you in the future, so I don't need to use the ones purchased by the palace in the future."

Whether lead is put in it, who knows!
"Okay! There is free makeup available, I can't wait for it!" After the queen cried, she felt much better, and she was able to joke around with the imperial concubine.

"Look at our empress, she is reluctant to part with a few taels of silver for makeup and makeup, she is ashamed~" Shu Ning shaved her face twice, causing the empress to giggle non-stop.

"Hey, I still don't want to part with these few taels of money for cosmetics. Is it possible that I can take advantage of the imperial concubine's money, otherwise I don't know when the next time will be!"

The queen clapped her palms and smiled, as if she had picked up some great bargain, but in fact it was just a few taels of rouge.

If outsiders knew that the empress and the imperial concubine were fussing about how much money they had, they would probably laugh their ass off.But for them, this is just a small episode in life.

Who really cares about the few taels of silver, it's just a few jokes.

Seeing that the queen had recovered, Shuning took the people back to Changning Palace.

The set of porcelain dolls sent to her was placed on Shuning's bedside.Before going to bed, Shu Ning would touch the porcelain dolls of the two children, as if she couldn't feel at ease if she didn't touch them for a day.

"Brother, I've finished my drawing, see when you can send it to my great-grandmother!"

The fourth prince rushed to the East Palace with the portrait he had painted, and placed the painting in front of the prince as soon as he entered the room.

"Let me see."

The prince opened the painting, and saw a painting exactly like his mother's unfolding in front of his eyes.

"Like, exactly the same."

The prince expressed his approval of his younger brother's painting skills. Unlike ink painting, Western painting expresses a real character.The younger brother is already a little bit hot, at least he can draw the portrait of the mother very well.

"Because the painting is about my mother, I took it very seriously."

The fourth prince waved his hands away. He changed this painting many times before finally finalizing it.My hand also became sore from holding the pen for too long.
