Chapter 127 The icing on the cake
She purposely wore only a thin autumn dress today, without a leather jacket, and stood outside the door of the Yongshou Palace in the cold wind. The little wooden box just shrank and stood there motionless waiting.

Bit by bit, Shen Aoxue was numb from the cold and was about to faint several times. Finally, Nanny Yang helped her up before she collapsed, and said softly: "You girl is really stubborn, you waited for a while in the cold weather. It's been a long time, come with me when the Empress Dowager just gets up." After speaking, she shook her head helplessly and led Aoxue towards the Yongshou Palace.

Aoxue's head was heavy, she was so cold, her mouth was so stiff that she could hardly speak, she came to the bedroom tremblingly, the burning stove in the hall gave her a little bit of warmth, let her relax a little. come over.

Nanny Yang looked at Shen Aoxue and said: "The Queen Mother is getting dressed, you should warm up here first, don't let the Queen Mother get too cold."

Aoxue nodded and immediately moved closer to the stove. The hot air gradually warmed the closed pores all over her body, and the cold air in her nose gradually disappeared, causing her to sneeze several times. He covered his mouth and resisted.

Finally feeling her body warmed up a bit, she said to Mammy Yang, "May I go in now?"

"I'll pass it on for you."

"Thank you Ma'am." Aoxue nodded sensiblely, expressing her gratitude.

After a while, Nanny Yang opened the curtain and came out from the inner bedroom and said to her, "The queen mother has called you."

Shen Aoxue took a deep breath and straightened her back, tightly rubbing a small round box with her onion-like fingers and walked towards the bedroom.

The queen mother just finished washing and was sitting in front of the makeup mirror, her long ink-like hair cascaded down her waist, and another elderly Nanny Li was combing the queen mother's hair carefully but skillfully with a wooden comb .

Shen Aoxue hastily walked over and knelt on the ground respectfully and saluted: "Minister daughter pays homage to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is blessed and safe."

"Get up." The queen mother didn't even look at her, her shrewd almond eyes kept looking at the reflection in the bronze mirror, and her hands touched her cheeks from time to time.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Aoxue stood up very politely.

"Yesterday Aijia used the eye cream. It is indeed a good thing. Today's eyes are indeed better than yesterday, isn't it? Mother Li." The Queen Mother turned her head and asked.

Nanny Li smiled gently, and praised: "The queen mother is graceful and luxurious, with picturesque features, and she is still as young and beautiful as when she was in the general's mansion. The slaves have been watching it for so many years, and they are still very pleasing to the eye."

The queen mother was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she joked with a smile: "Look at her mouth, Madam Yang, she's still as glib as when she first followed Aijia, and she's not serious when she's old."

Nanny Yang smiled and didn't answer, she was not a good talker, Nanny Li was better at speaking than her.

Shen Aoxue looked at the box in her hand, her eyes flashed, and said respectfully to the Empress Dowager: "The Empress Dowager is graceful and luxurious, if it is paired with the lip gloss developed by this 'Holy Hand Fragrant Girl', it will be the icing on the cake, perfect."

The Empress Dowager glanced sideways at Shen Aoxue, and saw that she handed over a red round box with both hands and did not take it, but Nanny Li behind her took it.

Nanny Li opened the lid of the round wooden box, and a sweet fragrance came out. She looked at the crystal clear red and tender glazed paste in the box and couldn't help but exclaimed: "I have seen many good people with the Queen Mother these years." Things, but Miss Shen's lip balm is rosy, sweet and pleasant, and the paste is even more tender, this is the first time this servant has seen such a good thing."
