Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 57

The six people took turns to watch the night, which was decided by Shu Ning.The three of them take turns, which is also convenient for the three of them to rest.In fact, as far as Shu Ning is concerned, it doesn't matter if she doesn't keep watch at night, she seldom gets up in the middle of the night.But this is the rule, and she can't be too strong with them in these matters, after all, they are also looking out for their own good, and Shu Ning is not a person who does not know good people.

Of course, when the emperor was resting here, she only let Nanny Bai and Su Maocai stay outside together, and Simei didn't allow them to keep watch.A few big girls with yellow flowers, you can't let them hear something they shouldn't hear.

Early the next morning, Shu Ning took Mother Bai and Hou Lin to Quanfu Palace to meet the Queen Mother.

"Empress Jiafei, the master is already waiting in the hall."

The Empress Dowager knew that Shuning would come today, so she got up early in the morning, and asked the nanny to choose the best clothes for herself, and sat in the hall in a beautiful dress, waiting for Shuning.In fact, it wasn't that she made a special trip to wait for Shuning in the hall, and she couldn't afford to be the queen mother to wait for her in her capacity.It was Shuning who heard the eunuch's words after she came, that the queen mother came out from the inner room and sat in the main hall waiting for her to come in.

"The concubine joins the empress dowager, and the empress is blessed."

"Flat body."

"Thank you madam."

Shuning stood up and smiled sweetly at the Queen Mother.

"Girl, come here quickly."

The queen mother was happy when she saw her, and waved to her.

"Miss."

Shu Ning sat in front of the Empress Dowager on the chair moved by the maid, chatting with the Empress Dowager.

"Today I came to see the Empress Dowager, and the concubine even brought a gift!"

"Gift? What kind of gift do you bring with you? What is it?"

The last three words the Queen Mother quietly asked in Shuning's ear.

"Grandma Bai."

Shuning shouted to Nanny Bai who was standing behind her.

"The servant understands."

Nanny Bai immediately went out, and Hou Lin was holding the things!
The queen mother became a little curious, and looked at the nurse next to her, and then looked at Shu Ning, and found that she had an expression that I wanted to keep it a secret, so she had no choice but to give up getting hints from her, and her eyes kept drifting towards the door.

Not long after, Nanny Bai came in holding something covered with a cloth.

"Your Majesty, don't think that the things prepared by my concubine are not eye-catching. There is nothing rare about this thing. It's just that this thing was thought of by my concubine and it took a little time to get it out."

Shu Ning tore off the cloth on it, revealing several fist-sized boxes.

"What's in it?" The Queen Mother curiously asked Mammy to bring a box for herself, and she opened it herself.

"smell good!"

A faint fragrance came out as the box was opened.

"This is facial fat, something that can be used to wipe your face and hands. It won't freeze your face and hands if you wipe it in autumn and winter."

This thing is also added a lot of precious medicinal materials by Mei Dong, in addition to preventing the hands and face from cracking, it also has the effect of nourishing the skin and whitening the skin.

"Really?"

The Queen Mother got some out and rubbed it on her hands. With her identity, she has never seen any kind of facial fat, but her hands always feel a bit rough in winter, and the effect of wiping her face with her hands cannot meet her requirements, so The queen mother doesn't like to go out in winter, for fear that her face and hands will be damaged by the wind.

"Yes, Madam also knows that there is a maid next to me who knows medicine. There are some things that are good for people's health in this fat. The formula used by the government is this formula, but the grade is different, and the effect of the formulated facial fat will be a little different.

The best one is used by Shuning and other masters now, and Mei Dong, who gave it to the queen mother, has adjusted the prescription to be more suitable for people of the queen mother's age.

In addition to these, there are several bars of soap.When I came to ancient times, if I had to ask Shu Ning what was inconvenient, it was taking a bath.She was used to the shower and suddenly changed to squatting in the tub, which made her feel awkward for a long time!Then there are the bath beans for bathing, Shu Ning always feels that she can't wash herself clean.

So the same relative didn't bother the two masters, and told Mei Qiu and Mei Dong what they did, and let them toss about it by themselves, and finally made a soap that satisfied Shuning.The first thing she did when she got this thing was to get some big basins of water, took a good bath, and walked out of the bathroom with ease.

"Oh, you young people have a lot of tricks, just wipe your face, I didn't expect these bath things to be so beautiful."

There are several colors!Each kind of fragrance is different, the queen mother can't wait to try them immediately.

"Your Majesty, I still have a prescription here, but this concubine wants to give it to the emperor. This thing will be used by both high-ranking officials and ordinary people. I heard that the emperor will allocate a lot of money to the disaster-stricken places every year. Every year, taxes go in with the left hand and out with the right. Although there is no shortage of money in the national treasury, it is not too rich.
