The eldest princess sat down, and then slowly spoke: "Brother Hui, I went back to my room to change my clothes when the incident happened, and I don't know what happened." It's just that when they came out, they saw that the imperial sister-in-law and Concubine Li didn't look good, and the arrow was inserted in front of the imperial sister-in-law's heel. Then Concubine Li came up to ask for guilt, and I learned that Concubine Li accidentally shot the arrow crooked, almost injuring the imperial sister-in-law. ”

"Then when you went out, where did Concubine Li stand, and where did the queen stand?"

The eldest princess thought for a moment and quickly said, "The imperial sister-in-law was standing in front of her target position, and she was shooting arrows at the time, barely moving. And Concubine Li came out of the house after resting and was about to start practicing archery. Because there were only two targets in the hospital, I was going to change my clothes, so she should have gone to my target. But she ...... She was standing behind her sister-in-law. ”

Concubine Li hurriedly defended herself, "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't deliberately stand behind the queen. At that time, the concubine went out after resting in the house, because there were only two targets in the courtyard, and the queen mother and the eldest princess each had one, so the concubine took a bow and stood on the side and waited. The eldest princess said to change clothes, and the concubine took an arrow, and wanted to go to the target position of the eldest princess to shoot an arrow, but an accidental arrow was shot, and the concubine really didn't mean to! ”

She looked up at Queen Zhou timidly, with an innocent look and accusations in her eyes, "At that time, the concubine also knew that she almost got into trouble, and she had already made amends with the queen's mother, and the queen mother also believed that the concubine did not mean it, and did not blame the concubine...... Isn't it? ”

What she said was not only to put pressure on Yuanzhi with the attitude of Queen Zhou, but also to imply to Queen Zhou, since you said that you believe me, why did you go back on your word?

Queen Zhou didn't want to care about this matter, even if Concubine Li did it on purpose, she also wanted to show some affection for each other, and it was a big deal to strengthen the guards around her in the future.

But Concubine Li dared to secretly accuse her in her words, and she had to speak, "Since this palace said that she believed you, she naturally wouldn't talk back, let alone settle accounts after the autumn." ”

"I have to worry about it."

Yuan Zhi looked at Concubine Li with a cold face, "The queen is willing to believe that you are her business, but I can't pretend not to know." **Safety is related to the society of the country, if she can let people who hurt her be confused by such a casual way, will she not be dissatisfied with the assassin in this palace in the future? ”

This was a bit more serious, and Concubine Li realized that it was not good, and the emperor was serious.

The thought in her heart spun quickly, the arrow didn't hit Queen Zhou in the end, as long as she gritted her teeth and said that she was careless when she died, the emperor couldn't do anything about her.

"Your Majesty, the concubine admitted that she was careless and almost hurt the queen!"

Concubine Li hurriedly kowtowed, "But the concubine never intended to hurt the queen's mother, please let the emperor know!" ”

……

When he woke up in the afternoon, Ji Yushen made a bowl of sweet soup with lotus seeds.

Su Youyi sat on the couch with her eyes half-open and let him feed, and after eating two bites, her body became cold and refreshing, and the corners of her mouth suddenly turned into a smile.

Ji Yushen said while feeding: "Xia'er, they are making rouge outside, saying that you asked them to make it for the eldest princess?" ”

Su Youyi suddenly opened her eyes, "I almost forgot about it, but fortunately, Xia'er and they remember it clearly." Yes, they are all good petals that they deliberately let leave in the spring, and make some for the eldest princess, and also give a point to the concubines and concubines. ”

Ji Yushen smiled meaningfully, "Oh......"

"Oh what?"

"I listened to it when I came in just now."

Ji Yushen didn't raise his head, and he was still stirring the lotus seed sweet soup in his hand, "It's not difficult to hear Xia'er say that those methods of making rouge." ”

Su Youyi was happy, "Is it possible that your Mr. Ji can also make rouge cream?" ”

"Almost."

Ji Yushen recalled that he had just heard Xia'er teach the little palace maid, so he told Su Youyi one by one, "First of all, I want to pick flowers." The standard is to be sand red. The color of flowers and flowers is not the same, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods. Put the flowers together, and the colors will be distinguished. ”

"The color of a petal is not the same, and there is a difference in color between the top and bottom. Therefore, it is necessary to pick one petal at a time, and choose one by one. In this way, rouge is created to ensure a pure red color. A few hundred catties of roses, and only one or twenty catties of petals can be picked out. Inner court manufacturing, one is not afraid of materials, two is not afraid of labor, only for excellence. ”

Su Youyi laughed when she heard it, these words were almost Xia'er's original words, she could hear that there were some common sayings that Xia'er liked to say.

Ji Yushen hadn't finished speaking, "After choosing, pound it with a stone mortar." The stone mortar is deeper, like the Ru mill in the drugstore, but it is not a neck, and the pestle is also white marble, so avoid using metal. Pound the puree with a stone pestle and strain it with fine gauze. The gauze is washed and ironed, and no hair is allowed. In this way, it makes a clean flower juice. Then pour the flower juice into the prepared rouge jar. When pounding roses, add some alum appropriately. In this way, the color can catch the meat, and it is not floating. ”

Then cut the silk cotton into small squares or rounds, fold them into five or six layers, and soak them in a rouge tank. It takes more than ten days to soak, and the silk cotton is covered with a thick layer of juice. Then take it out and dry it through a glass window so that it doesn't get dirty. Don't bake it, it will change color as soon as you bake it. ”

"When you use it, dip your little finger in warm water and sprinkle it on the rouge to dissolve the rouge, and you can apply it to your hands and face, but you can't paint your lips. Lip painting is to roll the silk rouge into a thin roll, turn it to the lips with the thin curl, or use the jade scratch head to turn it on the silk rouge, and then tap the lips. ”

"Alright, alright!"

Su Youyi listened to his monk-like endorsement, and couldn't stand it, "It is obvious that you have a good memory, and you can remember what she said word for word when you pass by Xia'er's side, right?" You can't be guilty of endorsing me, you must know that you may not be able to practice it with your words, and wait until you make me rouge ointment. ”

"It's not difficult."

Ji Yushen put aside the small bowl of lotus seed sweet soup, "I'll go out and take a look now to see what they do, and it should be about the same for half an hour." ”

"Immodest!"

Su Youyi pointed at his nose and scolded, she was also curious, so she followed him out, "Xia'er, where do they make rouge cream?" ”

"Just under the shade of the trees over there."

Following the direction pointed by Ji Yushen, I saw Xia'er with more than a dozen palace maids picking flowers and pounding flowers, and when they saw Su Youyi coming, everyone was busy bowing down to give blessings.

Su Youyi saw that they were funny, so she said, "What about the eldest princess?" She likes these things the most, what to dye her nails to make flower tea, to make rouge paste. Why don't you invite her to play? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother."

The little palace maid said: "The slaves and maids went to the courtyard of the eldest princess to listen once, and heard that the eldest princess was called away by the emperor, and they didn't know what was going on, and the slaves and maids didn't dare to ask. ”
