Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 272 Makeup
Dingshi left with the box of good Yuhua tea. When she left, she still had a confused expression on her face.

Chen Wenxin looked at her back with satisfaction, crossing her legs.

She comforted herself in her heart, it's okay, it's okay, Dingshi can't think clearly now, but she will definitely think clearly after a while.

Then she instructed Bai Lu, "If the Ding family wants to meet relatives from her mother's family, don't be too strict. Now that she is in Jinling, she should be allowed to meet her family."

The emperor brought these two concubines out, and the status gap is huge, so Ding Chang's status is almost her vassal.

Everything that should be used in daily life should be decided by her.

She's too lazy to care about it, she should do things according to the rules, and she can't make it difficult for her.

Bai Lu was a little strange, "For the sake of the emperor, the master is not angry with this Ding family?"

Ding Shi dared to make clothes that were very similar to Chen Wenxin's, and even more gorgeous than hers.

Although it looks nondescript, it is indeed more gorgeous!
This crime should be magnified and called disrespect.

Think about it, every time there is a banquet in the palace, what the high-ranking concubines wear must be revealed in advance.

Those concubines below can't even wear the same color as them, so how can they wear the upgraded version of the same style and color?

Such a disrespectful behavior should send her to the Punishment Department for punishment.

Chen Wenxin glanced at her, "Why are you annoyed? Do you think Ding's clothes look better than those made by Bai Xue? Or do Ding's look better than mine?"

Bai Lu shook her head vigorously, "How could it be? The servants really can't compliment Ding's taste in dressing. The master's good clothes are messed up after she learned them, losing their original simplicity and elegance, and adding three points." Cheesy."

"Even you can see it, so why should I get angry? Besides, she didn't wear it on purpose for me to see, but she didn't expect that I would really see her. She should be dressing up like this because she is going to pay her respects to the emperor."

"Then the master reminded her not to dress so richly and gorgeously?"

"It's not that Tete just took the opportunity to speak in order to remind her."

Ding's style has always been like this, the emperor may not be very angry when he sees her rich and noble.

Chen Wenxin didn't have any feelings for her, whether she was good or bad was none of his business.

It's just that she used her clothes to draw words suggesting that she asked her mother's family to donate money to pay for the army.

It is also for this reason that Bai Lu is asked to be more relaxed about her seeing her mother's family.

She must have a chance to convey this meaning to her father as a deposit.

Just as he was talking, the emperor sent a letter from Xiao Lizi.

"Master Qin, the emperor said that the dinner will be shared with the local ministers, and a big banquet will be held in the main hall of the palace."

Sure enough, the scene of the tour was different, and so was everything.

Now even eating has to follow red tape, which is really troublesome.

Local officials seldom see the emperor, and all of them hold him like a god or Buddha.

Just looking at the magnificent decoration of this palace, one can imagine how much money was invested in it.

Another grand banquet will cost a lot of money.

She sighed, such extravagance is not the emperor's style.

Is it because the Fujian navy won the first battle, the emperor was so happy?

Impossible, the emperor is not such a superficial and stupid person.

Then he must have ulterior motives.

Chen Wenxin asked: "Xiao Lizi, are the emperor's clothes ready for the banquet at night?"

Little Lizi didn't know why Chen Wenxin cared about these trivial matters, but he replied truthfully: "Ready, it's a satin-embroidered five-color cloud-bat-golden-dragon twelve-chapter gown newly made by the House of Internal Affairs before leaving the palace."

"Okay, you go, I know."

The emperor dressed so grandly to have a banquet with the courtiers, so naturally she couldn't dress too poorly.

"Bai Lu, change into more luxurious clothes at night, and you must not lose the face of the emperor."

Chen Wenxin has too many clothes, including Hanfu and flag dresses, and there are many gorgeous and simple ones.

"Master, at least tell me whether to wear Hanfu or palace attire, I can find it easily."

Ordinarily, when the emperor meets courtiers, she should wear palace clothes to look decent.

It's just that Jinling is different from other places. Most of the magistrates here are Han Chinese, and only by wearing Han clothes can they show the majesty of the emperor.

After all, isn't the emperor's dragon robe made according to the style of Hanfu in the previous Ming Dynasty?
Not afraid of being abrupt.

It's just that it would be embarrassing for Ding Chang to imitate her clothes again.

"Look for a newly made Hanfu that you've never seen before, and it's even more magnificent."

With these conditions thrown out, Bai Lu had some direction.

Bai Lu finally found a silver and red embroidered phoenix train, and a white plain skirt underneath.

Because of the hot weather, she pulled her black hair up high and combed it into a light bun.

Bai Shuang was still in charge of combing her hair, and even she herself was amazed after combing, "Master's clothes, paired with this bun, are so beautiful."

She has fair skin, and wearing silver red makes her lips red and teeth whiter.

The slender neck has graceful lines, like a noble white swan in the lake, attracting people's imagination.

She looked at herself in the mirror and was also quite satisfied.

"Bai Shuang's hands are really a coincidence. I'm just giving a rough look, and you can comb them out. Bai Lu, please reward her for me."

She had seen this kind of falling horse bun in Old Tang's book, and she thought it was very nimble and light, and it didn't look complicated.

Because he wanted to let Bai Shuang learn how to comb this bun, but unfortunately there was only one picture, and he didn't know the process.

Bai Shuang has studied for a long time, and this is the first time Chen Wen has tried it.

I didn't expect the effect to be so good, it is really beautiful.

"Thank you, master, for the reward!"

Bai Shuang took the purse containing silver in Bai Lu's hand with a smile, "Hair buns are always the same. As long as you take a look at the pictures, you can always comb them out to the same extent."

Bai Lu said angrily: "I also said that a few days ago, I grabbed the little maid to practice in your room every day, and I also hated that her hair is not as smooth as the master's. I heard it all."

Chen Wenxin was a little surprised when he heard it.

She thought it was rare for Bai Shuang to have the skills of combing hair and makeup, but she didn't expect that she had also learned to work hard behind the scenes.

Compared with the previous appearance that was only flattering, the current appearance is even more cute.

Bai Shuang lowered her head in embarrassment, "My master is now a concubine, and I can still let my servants take care of her makeup every day. If I don't practice hard, how can I be worthy of my master's trust?"

As she got older, she gradually became more sensible and knew how to be a qualified court lady.

Chen Wenxin nodded appreciatively, "I am very pleased that you can think so."

Time has changed and the world has changed, and time is fleeting.

Everyone around us is changing, for the better.

The emperor has become gentler and more suspicious than before, and he trusts and relies on her more and more.

Chen Wenyi is more calm, more resolute and responsible than the unrestrained and unrestrained before.

The fourth elder brother is also more mature and sensible than before.

The palace people around her were changing even more, the little table became more sophisticated, and Bai Lu became more outspoken.

Bai Shuang worked harder.

She suddenly thought of someone, "I remember, when the little chair went to Debi's, why didn't I hear about it again?"

She suddenly mentioned the small chair, and Bai Lu almost couldn't remember this person.

"Oh, the emperor even sprayed tea on both ends of the small chair that was with the small table."

Bai Lu said: "It wasn't long after I heard that the master was promoted to be a concubine, he was sent to Xinzheku by the concubine, and now he is still working as a handyman there. What does the master mention him for?"

Chen Wenxin nodded, "I thought of you people, who are much more experienced than when you first came to my side, so I couldn't help but think of him."

Bai Shuang smiled and said, "Hasn't the master changed too? I still remember that moment in Chuxiu Palace, when I asked you to get up, you kicked me!"

Chen Wenxin hadn't said anything yet, Bai Lu gave her a thump first, "Damn little hoof, do you dare to tell about the embarrassing things about the master?"

Bai Shuang smiled and dodged her fist, "Good sister, I don't dare anymore! Good master, please plead for me."

Chen Wenxin also laughed when the two of them quarreled, "Okay, seriously, let's put on makeup first, and it's time for us to go."

Chen Wenxin has always disliked Fu Fen, she just brushed a few eyebrows and tapped her red lips.

Today, in order to cooperate with the grand meeting with foreign officials, she made an exception and asked Bai Shuang to apply rouge and water powder on her.

The fine powder made from mirabilis jasmine was evenly applied on the face, and then pressed with a thick moist sponge pad.

Finally, use a soft brush like a brush to gently sweep over the face. Chen Wenxin said that this is called a makeup brush.

The cosmetics of the Qing Dynasty had a problem of falling powder. She used to see Tong Guifei's face falling powder, and Yigui people.

It's better not to wear makeup.

So she came up with this method, which can ensure that the base makeup is clear and even, and it is not easy to lose powder.

Then Baishuang took down a small white jade jar containing rouge, dipped it with her fingertips, and rubbed it with the palms of her hands.

Then gently stick it under her cheekbones on both sides to form a natural rosy white.

"Master taking the blood swallow is indeed effective, and now his complexion is much rosier than before, and there is no need to spend rouge."

Then swipe Emei lightly, paint lightly on the eyes with carmine, and then a little red on the lips.

A set of exquisite makeup will be complete.

When Chen Wenxin opened his eyes, he saw Bai Lu and Bai Shuang who were astonished.

"Does it look good?"

She is a little unconfident, if she is not as good-looking as she is with makeup on, the emperor will laugh at her soon.

"It's beautiful, my God, it's so beautiful."

Hibiscus out of clear water is beautiful, and peonies are beautiful when they stand on branches, each has its own strengths.

It's just that they are used to seeing Chen Wen's appearance of clear water and hibiscus, so it's really emotional to dress up this morning.

——Feeling that all things in this world are full of good fortune, why is the beauty so beautiful in this one person?
