Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 30

As a result, more than half of Shuning's suitcase was lost, and she had to make clothes again.The clothes I made this time are more luxurious than before. If you can't embroider peonies, you can embroider lotus flowers. She also likes lotus flowers.

There are also many headdresses that could not be put on the head before. In the past, noble girls like them could only wear Xiaofeng hairpins.Now she can wear a five-tailed phoenix hairpin, which is much more gorgeous and beautiful than before.

The queen has nine tails, the imperial concubine has eight tails, the noble concubine has seven tails, the fourth concubine has six tails, and she is a second-rank concubine, so she can wear five tails.

There are also those beautiful tribute South Sea pearls. Although she had some of these things in the past, she couldn't get them.Even Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Wang's phoenix coronets have a few grains on them, which little girls like them can't wear at all.

They can still wear ordinary freshwater pearls, and they don't dare to stick anything on their heads like the novel said.If someone finds out, it would be a serious crime. It would be a minor offense to be punished by yourself, but it would be fatal to hurt your family.

Even if they got South Sea pearls, they would not dare to wear the jewelry they made, and could only admire them secretly.So Shuning got two pairs of South Sea pearls from Mrs. Tai, and they were so precious that she put them in the makeup box.As for why Mrs. Tai has it, who made her mother a princess!
This time the jewelry was also taken out and made into a pair of bead hairpins. I planned to give one to Mrs. Tai and one to Wang when I left home.

This is a gift from Shuning, and the two can wear it.Under normal circumstances, only if you wear it that is rewarded by the nobles in the palace, it will not be considered as exceeding the limit.

Just like Mrs. Tai, she is not guilty of holding this Nanzhu, and it is fine for Shu Ning to hold it privately, but if it is exposed, she may be at fault.Of course, the collection will be scolded at most, but wearing it is absolutely unacceptable. If the word "exceeding the system" does not want to mess with you, it is fine, and when it wants to mess with you, it is a serious crime.

And Shu Ning spent a lot of time buying a bunch of clothes and jewelry this time because she can wear these things all the time, and they are not considered consumables.It can also be stored there as a collection when it is done, it is not a waste.

Moreover, women are those who please themselves, whether they are men or women, they definitely like to look at good-looking people, rather than choose an ugly person to stand in front of them.Shuning is a woman, so of course she likes to dress up very much.In her opinion, clothes and jewelry can be added a little more, because these things can be stored without spoiling, but the food is different, the storage time is not long, and the leftovers cannot be served on Shuning's table, that's it It's such a waste to throw away.

And as aristocrats, Shuning and the others will eat a lot of food that is usually very rare. Generally speaking, these things are eaten less, such as bear paws, shark fins, etc. These are rare, but the same because of Excessive hunting is less and less.However, these precious ingredients are sometimes displayed for the sake of face even if the owner does not like to eat them, so waste becomes inevitable.

Like Shuning, she never eats these, so there are no bear paws and shark fins in her small kitchen, which makes Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Tai feel very strange.Fortunately, everyone didn't delve into it, otherwise they would definitely think that Shu Ning is a weird person.

So she never stingy on the flowers, so as not to be looked down upon.But where she can save energy and save money, she will not waste it.I didn't even eat it, what else did I get for it?
I won’t talk about the empress dowager in the palace, but for the emperor, he definitely hopes that his concubine will be well-dressed, not sloppy and unkempt.From his point of view, Shu Ning made so many jewelry and clothes just to please himself, of course, this is not a waste.

Unlike other concubines, they not only eat extravagantly, but also like to smash things. If they smash things, they have to make up for them. Do you think these things don’t cost money in the palace?Therefore, in the eyes of the emperor, the concubines in the harem are very good at wasting, but the current emperor likes to spoil people with the spending of each palace.It's just that until now, no empress has grasped the emperor's veins, so there are not many concubines who are favored, and each time they are favored for a short time.

So without knowing it, Shu Ning gained enough favor in front of the emperor, which made her journey after entering the palace much smoother.At least she doesn't have to bother trying to please the emperor. In the eyes of the emperor, she is particularly pleasing to the eye.
