Chapter 163 The Day of Fall

The descent ceremony of Princess Changyang was extremely grand. In order to show the importance he attached to this half-sister, Fengchun increased 30% compared with the example of Princess Yi'an's descent.

Because of her wedding, two sisters in Fengyi, Pingjin and Yi'an, sent people to send heavy gifts, but neither of them arrived. Pingjin did not go in order not to add a block to Changyang, but Yi'an was because his aunt was seriously ill. Shi Fangyi, the biological mother of Princess Yi'an Li Yan, the second daughter of Emperor Xianzong, is gentle and generous, and completely passed it on to her daughter. Princess Yi'an is a rare virtuous woman in the golden branches and jade leaves of this dynasty. Her son-in-law, Chi Pu, is from a civilian background. Her aunts are all ordinary villagers, and it is precisely in the Yi'an fiefdom.

After Princess Yi'an descended, in order to serve her aunt, she left Chang'an and went to live in Fengyi. She received her aunts attention in the princess's mansion day and night. In the morning and evening, even if she put it in the square, it was enough to be called a virtuous woman. Originally, she planned to come to watch the ceremony in person this time. After all, this is not only after Yi'an herself, but also the first time that a princess has fallen in the royal family after the Yuan Dynasty. However, Yu Chi Puhe's parents are old, and they have been immersed in bed because of their early work. Since four months ago, they have been lying in bed with both diseases and can't live without soup. Yi'an Gong The Lord did not dare to leave, so he had to send his son Yu Chisu to watch the ceremony.

Yu Chisu arrived in Chang'an three days before the wedding. The next day, he was summoned to Zichen Hall to meet Fengchun, and then went to Penglai Hall to meet his aunt and Empress Wang. As for Yuanxiu's aunts, they did not meet them at the ceremony until the day of the wedding.

Princess Yi'an is only one year younger than Pingjin. The second year after she left the cabinet, she gave birth to her eldest daughter, Yu Chi Hanjun, the head of Qingle County, and then gave birth to her eldest son. This Yu Chisu is older than Princess Chengyi. She is exactly the same age as Yuan Xiu and only three months younger. Because she is a man, she is taller than Yuan Xiu and wears a cyan round. Collar, golden ring hair, jade outline waist, his appearance Xiao's father, Yuan Xiu vaguely remembers his second brother-in-law's thick face, now that Yu Chisu's appearance also reveals elegance and gentleness in ordinary, and he can't help smiling at him.

Although Yu Chisu recognized the princess dress on Yuan Xiu's body, he didn't know her ranking. He paused and told him when the maid beside him in his ear, he quickly came over and bowed his hand and apologized, "Is it the ninth aunt?"

"How's your second sister?" Yuanxiu put on light makeup on her face, and it took half an hour to draw a cluster of flowers between the distant mountain eyebrows. The light-colored rouge behind the eyebrows was painted as oblique red as the crescent moon. Her eyes are very beautiful. The standard apricot eyes are large and bright. Even if it is not moth eyebrows, it is still very imposing and on her lips. A drop of red is dewdrop, sticking stars, and pulling double snails. This time, it is not a simple colorful silk decoration, but a bead ring. Be sure to dress up the royal family's elegance and richness. Therefore, even if you stand still, it will still be jingling when the wind passes.

Seeing her stop talking to herself, Yu Chisu did not dare to neglect and said respectfully, "My mother is well, but she is thinking that she can't go to Chang'an to congratulate her seventh aunt, so she asked her nephew to watch the ceremony on her behalf."

Yuanxiu held a ebony handle snow silk embroidered peony fan in his hand, half covered his mouth and smiled, "Are you coming alone this time? Why didn't Jun'er come?"

"When I went back to the ninth aunt, my sister also wanted to go north to visit my uncle and aunts. Unexpectedly, she accidentally fell down and hurt her leg before riding a horse, so she had to give up." Yu Chisu said this in a low voice. After all, it was inconvenient to say much about the unuspicious thing on the wedding day, and it was Yuan Xiu who had to answer his question.

Yuan Xiu nodded and said no more. He smiled and said to him, "Your tenth uncle is over there. It's not convenient for you to go in the seventh sister's bedroom. Let's go and find King Xu."

Yu Chisu got her reminder and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was the son of Princess Yi'an, and these people in the palace were all relatives, and they were not familiar with him. This time, Princess Yi'an and her son-in-law were serving the elders in the fief and sent him alone, although the maidservant behind him was the dowry of Princess Yi'an in those years. From time to time, he always felt uncomfortable. He knew that his ten uncles were younger than him, but they were all men. At least he didn't have to be embarrassed and didn't know where to stand.

Yuan Xiu sent him away and walked into the Hanbing Hall. At this time, Princess Changyang began to dress up. She was extremely beautiful. Today, she added a little shyness and joy. If she didn't wear makeup, she already made people feel bright. Today, it was not the maid of the Ice Hall who dressed her up, but Shang Gong Fan, whom Yuanxiu had met once. Ruo'er.

Fan Ruoer wore a silver-colored beaded deer-patterned summer shirt, combed her bun, shook the beaded flowers step by step, and smiled. Her lip makeup was an inner circle to please the mouth. She first ordered to bring water to clean Changyang's face.

This water took advantage of the dew collected by the maids on the petals before sunrise, mixed them with fresh rose petals and mixed with a spoonful of sheep's milk. It soaked them for half a night, and then put them in the almonds in the middle to suck away the fishy smell in the sheep's milk. Now the water color is light red.

Xiulian and Xiu silk served Changyang's face and hands. At this time, Fan Ruoer also took off the sleeves of her summer shirt and pulled them to her elbow, revealing a pair of snow-white wrists. She took a porcelain bowl from many things that had been placed on Changyang's dressing table. After opening the bowl, she revealed the cream like red jade inside. With a faint almond smell.

Yunzhou, who was only about to reach his feet, saw it and said, "The smell of this red jade cream seems to be different from mine?"

While taking out a small and exquisite silver spoon from a silver box and removing the paste for Changyang, Fan Ruoer smiled and said, "What the family said was that the recipe of this bowl was slightly changed and the musk was removed and replaced by another one."

Taizhen red jade ointment originated from Yang, the noble concubine who was taken from his son Shouwang during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong. It is said that Yang often applied this ointment, and his face is like red jade, hence the name. The preparation method is to take almonds, peeling, talcum and light powder, and grind them into powder. After steaming, add a little Ruilong brain and musk, and mix them well with egg white. This is the facial fat commonly used by the nobles in the palace, which is naturally recognized by Yunzhou.

"Today's hall has a strong fragrance of fat powder, and this recipe has just been changed, and Yunzhou has also noticed it. It's really powerful." Princess Dongping said with a smile.

Yunzhou said strangely, "Isn't the prescription of too real red jade ointment good? Why change it?" Yuanxiu also looks curious.

Fan Ruoer smiled and said, "Six families don't need this changed prescription now, but they have to use this kind of concubine for the family today after leaving the cabinet."

Princess Liyang is not here because she is young. There are only three people in the bedroom to accompany Dongping to Yunzhou. Dongping obviously knows something, but she smiled. Yunzhou turned her eyes and pushed her up and said, "It's inconvenient for Sister Seven to put on makeup. Since the eighth sister knows how He didn't tell us, but made me and Jiujie confused like this?

Princess Dongping took a fan on her face and whispered a few words. Yuanxiu quickly listened to it. After listening to it, both sides turned red and looked at Changyang from the bronze mirror with a smile. Princess Changyang knew why she changed the recipe. Seeing this, she stared at Dongping in the mirror, but saw Yuanxiu and Yunzhou looking at each other. Shuangshuang smiled and said, "Seventh sister is very happy today. We all wish Sister Qi's wishes come true and give birth to an early son!"

"...Although you are smiling here, are you afraid that you don't have this day?" Princess Changyang just got a layer of fat. When she heard the words, she suddenly flew a glow and said a little.

After laughing, Yunzhou stared at the bowl and asked Fan Ruoer: "Fanggong, since this musk has that effect, why not change it as soon as possible? Ordinary use also has an impact, doesn't it?"

"If you go back to A's house, this won't happen." Fan Ruoer stopped moving and said to her, "Almonds and other things are important in the face fat, and only a little musk is added. Even if it is used for a long time, it is not harmful to the body. Otherwise, since Emperor Xuanzong, many concubines and nobles in the palace have used this thing and given it to their ministers every year, but there are few children who have used this thing. The concubine made this bowl, but it was still mentioned by Princess Changyang.

Although musk is a precious spice, it also has the effect of promoting blood circulation and promoting childbirth. Therefore, it is very cautious when used in the palace. Princess Changyang is dedicated to Cui Fengwu and naturally hopes to give birth to his children after entering the door. Even if the real red jade ointment has been used for several generations in this dynasty, she is worried about it. I don't accept a little musk, and I have to make another one that I don't have. It's really well-intentioned.

According to the order of Meng Tang's dressing, the powder is applied after the face fat. The powder used in the palace is carefully selected, which is light and transparent, and as white as snow. Fan Ruoer deserves to be the person personally recommended by the Prince's Day. The method of applying powder is clever and careful. In a short time, she patted a uniform layer of lead powder on Changyang's face, neck and hands, even The lower jaw and the back of the ear have not been let go. At this time, when the rouge was taken out, Changyang picked the red color himself. Fan Ruoer put the others aside temporarily, gently picked out a little with her fingertips, let the repair silk take a little water to melt, and patted Changyang's cheeks. The original snow-white face was immediately dyed with a bright red color, like Feixia, which contrasted with lead powder, delicate and gorgeous. .

Then Fan Ruoer took a snail hair and began to make eyebrow makeup. The screw hair is extremely precious, and it is not used by everyone in the palace. Most of them should be supplemented with copper hair. The eyebrows it depicts are far-reaching, the color has not faded for a long time, and the color is memorable. According to Changyang's face and the princess crown she wants to wear today, Fan Ruoer drew her slender and soft green eyebrows.

Next to Xiulian looked at the opportunity to present the flower box. Fan Ruoer chose the right, and finally chose the wing-shaped Cuiqi, opened the fish glue on the back, and pressed Changyang's eyebrows. Seeing Changyang looking at the mirror, she nodded. Fan Ruoer winked. Xiulian put down the flower box and held out a delicate small box. Fan Ruo'er picked it inside for a long time and said to Changyang, "A family, please smile."

Changyang knew that this was a face, so he turned his head and smiled at her. The pear vortex on his cheeks suddenly appeared. Fan Ruoer took the opportunity to put a pair of flying crane-shaped faces on the laughing vortex, which was made of crane grass. This grass grew in Lingnan, and after it was exposed to dry, The shape is like a flying crane, with wings and tail feet, which is lifelike. After being found, it is used as a face.

After the face was beautiful, it was the turn of the oblique red. Fan Ruoer reopened the colors of the rouge and chose a slightly darker color than the red color. This time, it did not need to be used to use it. Instead, it was directly used as a reference to describe it after Changyang's eyebrows. As her fingertips moved slowly, a clump of vine lines gradually appeared, but it was a grape- - It means that the descendants continue to continue, which is exactly the heart of Changyang.

Finally, I took the dark rouge and fainted the appearance of Shengdanxin on Changyang's lips, so that the makeup was completed.

According to this dynasty's system, princesses need to wear a crown when they go down, so they don't have to worry too much about their hair style. They just need to be careful not to wear a crown. Dongping and the three looked at Fan Ruo'er's makeup, which had taken more than two hours, but they were not interested at this time. During this period, several of their cousins in the palaces also came in to accompany them. Especially after Princess Qi's arrival, Yuan Xiu looked for an opportunity to go out.

She just arrived at the door of the Hanbing Hall, and the voice of Yunzhou behind her whispered, "Sister Jiu, wait for me!"

"Have you come out too?" Yuanxiu asked in surprise.

"I've been watching it for so long. It's boring and there are many people sitting in it. Anyway, my sister-in-law greets me there, and I can't lack the two of us." Yunzhou said, "Sister Jiu, let's sit outside."

Yuan Xiu also came out for this, smiling and said, "You can't go far. When Cui Fengwu comes, you have to embarrass him."

"Cui Feng is famous in Chang'an. Under the so-called reputation, there are only a few makeup poems, but fan poems are still rare to live him?" Yunzhou seemed to have great confidence in Cui Fengwu. Yuan Xiu was about to tease her, but he heard her continue, "Even if it's difficult, we can only make a show. Otherwise, if we annoy the seventh sister, we can't afford it!" He covered his mouth with his sleeves and smiled narrowly.

"Just stand here and talk about Sister Seven's gossip. Later, ask the people in the hall to listen and tell Sister Seven that you look good." Yuan Xiu reminded the maid who couldn't bear to smile not far away.

Yunzhou raised his head: "I'm not afraid today. The seventh sister has just dressed up, is still combing her hair, and hasn't changed her clothes yet. I don't believe that she can wear such a heavy dress to find me again - I'm heavy enough."

"Seventh sister doesn't bother you today, but she will think about it when you fall down." Yuanxiu winked at her. The two sisters were talking. They stood high in the hall and saw a group of people gathering with interest. Yunzhou paid attention to it a few times and pointed to the fan: "That little man looked at him. At this time, in the palace, isn't it the eldest son of the second sister?"

Yuan Xiu looked along her point and smiled, "You have a good eye. If I hadn't seen him recently, I would have remembered that I had met Yu Chi Pu He once a year ago, and I almost didn't recognize him!"

"I know several others." Yunzhou smiled and said, "The second sister is too virtuous. At least we are Jin Zhiyuye. She usually serves her aunt carefully enough. Now the seventh sister has fallen and doesn't come back - the ninth sister you don't know. Originally, the seventh sister gave birth to two children because of the second sister and her son-in-law, she has always been healthy. She also plans to ask the second sister to replace her today. She is full of ideas and wants to benefit from the second sister! In the end, only our nephew ran over!"

Yuan Xiu grined slightly and saw that there was no one left and right except the close maids of the two, so he whispered, "The fifth sister-in-law is considerate enough. Didn't you see this? Besides, isn't the seventh sister's sister-in-law and our third sister-in-law here?

Princess Changyang is determined to beg for a son. Although Wang is the queen, she has nothing to do so far. In order to care about this aunt's mood, she also avoids not coming to see her dress up. There is a queen taking the head, and a concubine is like this. Even Zhao Fangyi and Cao Cairen, who have a son, did not show this, but invited a son Qi The princess worked on behalf of her - so tolerate the favor is nothing more than for the upcoming stormy, without making people say that the royal love is thin. The smile at the corners of Yuanxiu's mouth is imperceptiblely stiff. I don't know if Changyang, who is smiling contentedly in front of the bronze mirror at this moment, can still be so happy after today?
