Chapter 119 Gifts at the Imperial Concubine’s Birthday Banquet
Speaking of this, she secretly stuck out her tongue. Anyway, she was unwilling to spend money to prepare a birthday gift for Concubine Chang. After thinking for a long time, she finally realized that which woman doesn't love beauty? Concubine Chang must also want to make herself young and beautiful.
She thought that modern women like cosmetics the most, and this ancient woman was definitely no exception, but it was not in the operating room.
So, she simply took a bottle of fish oil from the operating room to deal with it. Anyway, these ancient people had never seen this thing before, so she would do whatever she said.
After hearing what she said, Wu Linlin narrowed her eyes half-squinted and said coldly in disdain:
"Where did you come from, my mother dare not use it randomly. Don't look back and make your face dirty, it will be a loss."
Seeing that she was suspicious, Concubine Chang's face changed slightly. She knew that Shui Luolan hated her and she knew some medical skills. If she really tried anything on this little pill, wouldn't her face be ruined?
But she still looked at the medicine bottle in Luo Lan's hand calmly and asked suspiciously:
"I have never seen this thing before, so I don't know how to use it, so let's accept it first!"
Listening to what she said, Luo Lan knew that she believed Wu Linlin's words and did not dare to use this thing easily. Then wasn't she giving this gift for nothing?
Thinking of this, she bowed and said:
"If the Empress does not believe in Luo Lan, you can ask Luo Lan to give it a try on the spot. You can find a palace maid with a dry face."
As soon as she finished speaking, the palace maids present all lowered their heads, fearing that they would become the test subject and that if they were destroyed, they would be more serious than losing their lives.
Concubine Chang looked at the emperor. After receiving his answer, she glanced at the princess Yu around her for a week. Seeing that no one was willing to come out, she looked at Madam Yu beside her and said:
"The skin of these palace maids is very tender and cannot be tried. Why not let Madam Yu try it!"
Luo Lan nodded in objection, "Then please ask Madam Yu to come to my place."
After all, Madam Yu is a person who has experienced strong storms. Besides, even if her face is really ruined, Concubine Chang will support her, so she is not afraid.
So, Madam Yu came to Luo Lan, her face turned cold, and her old face was almost pulled to her feet.
Luo Lan signaled Acai to bring a round stool for Madam Yu, and then said to her:
"Madam Yu, please sit down."
Madam Yu held her hands in front of her and said coldly:
"In front of the emperor and all the empresses, the old slave dare not."
Hearing this, Luo Lan looked at the emperor with a look of help, and the emperor waved his hand and said:
"Sit! Today is the birthday of Chang Aifei. It's a good day, so don't be too polite."
With the emperor's permission and Luo Lan's urging, Madam Yu sat down unwillingly.
Luo Lan looked at her dry face carefully and couldn't help but frown. There seemed to be nothing else on her face except a layer of dry powder on it.
But it is no wonder that in this ancient times when supplies were scarce, there was no cosmetics. After cleaning the face, women directly applied pearl powder while their faces were still wet. Farmers could only apply some inferior gouache and lead powder.
Therefore, the thick layer of powder on Madam Yu's face seemed to fall off at any time with a slight movement.
She said to A Cai again:
"Get me a basin of water."
Hearing this, Madam Yu was displeased in an instant, "What are you going to do?"
Luo Lan looked at her and chuckled, "Madam Yu suspected that I would attack you in front of the emperor and the empresses?"
Madam Yu snorted lightly and murmured:
"You don't dare to measure it."
“That’s natural.”
While Luo Lan replied, Abang had already come to her with a basin of water.
Luo Lan said to the nanny:
"Please wash your left face."
"Why?"
Madam Yu looked at her with a dissatisfied expression, and then looked at Concubine Chang, "Empress, I am so old that I cannot be humiliated in public. Please let the Empress be the master of the old slave."
After hearing what she said, Concubine Chang's face changed slightly. Madam Yu is the old man around her and the person she trusts the most. How could she watch her be wronged?
Just as she was about to speak for her, Luo Lan said lightly:
"My grandma, don't worry, I just want to compare it with your other half of your face to see if this thing is good for my skin. Luo Lan doesn't want to die so soon, so she won't do anything."
Although Madam Yu was still a little unhappy, the emperor was already intrigued.
He waved his hand directly:
"Don't worry, Madam Yu, I'm watching here. Princess Ruoyu did something wrong, I'll make the decision for you."
After hearing what the emperor said, even if Madam Yu had any dissatisfaction, she could not say anything anymore. She could only wash her left half of her face helplessly.
When she scrubbed off the gouache and exposed her left half of her face, she could immediately see that it was half a dry and wrinkled face.
Madam Yu suppressed her shameful expression and blocked her face with her hands.
Luo Lan stepped forward, took her hand away, and then said softly:
"At the age of my nanny, it is not easy for her facial skin to be like this. What's wrong with letting everyone see."
Yan Luo, she took the transparent bottle from Ah Hong's hand, then took out a piece of fish oil, pinched the mouth open, dripped it on her fingers, gently applied it to the nanny's left face, and slowly on her face.
Turn around until the fish oil is completely absorbed.
Madam Yu was a little curious and felt a cold and comfortable feeling on her face.
Just when she was surprised, the people present were surprised to find that the half-dried face just now became smooth and shiny at this time.
Luo Lan raised her eyes and whispered to the emperor and Concubine Chang:
"Fish oil contains vitamins A and D, which can moisturize the skin, increase the elasticity of the skin, and make the skin on the face white and delicate, especially before going to bed at night, and when you wake up in the morning, you will be much younger.
.”
Listening to her foggy words and seeing the changes in Mama Yu's facial skin, the women present were curious about this little pill.
Concubine Chang also waved her right hand with joy, "Hurry, bring that magical thing to me."
Hearing this, Luo Lan handed two bottles of fish oil together with the box to Madam Yu. Madam Yu quickly came to Concubine Chang,
"Please look, Empress."
She looked up at Madam Yu's half face and asked in a concerned tone:
"Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Madam Yu shook her head, "No, on the contrary, she felt her face was no longer dry and she felt wet."
After hearing what Madam Yu said, Concubine Chang looked at the two bottles of pills as if she had a baby, and was so happy that she couldn't stop, as if she saw that she would become young and beautiful.
She changed her cold face and said to Luo Lan with a smile:
"Lan'er is really meant. This thing is rare. Mother will cherish it and use it when she looks back."
Take a look, after giving her something she liked, she changed her words and called Lan'er. She used to call herself Princess Yu, but suddenly she heard her change her words, Luo Lan felt uncomfortable.
But she still bowed and replied with a smile:
"Empress, don't worry, apply one tablet before going to bed every day, apply another tablet after washing your face in the morning, and then apply powder. This will be better. These two bottles have been enough for you to use for more than half a year. When you have lost use, you will follow me again.
