Chapter 346 Makeup
"I met Prince He from Prince Qing's Mansion on the way back."
Lu Hege helped Lu Hebei sit down on a chair covered with tiger skin and continued to speak slowly, "I think Prince He has a simple temperament and is not the kind of ambitious person. The ambitious person in Prince Qing's palace is Min. Prince Rui or Prince Rui?"
Originally, after Chen Quan died and Lu Hebei ascended the throne, several county princes in the Qing Palace should have been promoted to princes.
However, Empress Dowager Shen didn't have much favorable impressions of Prince Qing's Mansion, so she kept putting off the matter on the grounds that the emperor wanted to observe filial piety for the late emperor.
The throne of King Laiqing was to be inherited by his eldest son, Prince Min, but among the five sons of King Qing, the smartest and most well-educated was his second son, Prince Rui.
"Why did you guess it was Prince Min or Prince Rui? Why didn't you guess it was Prince Qing?"
"Prince Qing?"
Lu Shege frowned, "Prince Qing is already old and decrepit. What use does he want for the throne? Is it for his sons to fight against each other?"
"You!"
Lu Hebei laughed so hard that he was out of breath for a moment, "No one likes girls with sharp teeth and sharp mouths."
Seeing Lu Hebei happy, Lu Shege felt better: "Just be yourself, there is no need to please others."
These words are actually very suitable for Lu Hebei's temperament. He was originally a free-spirited person, but now he is trapped in the imperial city and due to his health, he is unable to do many things.
Hearing Lu Xiuge say this, he felt both uncomfortable and relieved.
His sister should be like this.
"Where's Xiaohu? Didn't you say that Xiaohu entered the palace?"
Lu Hebei was not in a good mood last night and turned around and forgot about Chen Xiaohu. When he saw Xiang Ge today, he suddenly remembered that he had not seen Chen Xiaohu before he entered the palace.
"My aunt said she just needed to meet her. Brother Xiaohu should have gone to Yulinwei today." Lu Sheige poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Lu Hebei, "I gave Brother Xiaohu the house in the capital. He is now at Yulinwei." Lin Wei, you can't rent a house. Besides, he's too old. He will get married and have children in two years, so he needs a place to shelter from the wind and rain."
"Um."
Lu Hebei nodded, "He might as well go to Yulin Guard."
He can't save himself when he crosses the river with Ni Bodhisattva. If Xiaohu does well when he goes to Yulin Guard, he will always be able to get ahead in the future. Even if he doesn't do well, given the temperament of the Queen Mother, it probably won't involve him in anything.
While the brother and sister were talking, Wan Zhao came in from outside holding three boxes: "Princess, this is the makeup box you want."
Of these three boxes, one belongs to the Queen Mother, one belongs to the Queen, and one belongs to Lu Shege himself.
Now, Wuzhao has found it, and I don’t know if the things inside are still usable.
Seeing the three boxes held by Wan Zhao, Lu Hebei couldn't help but become curious: "Why did you bring so many makeup boxes to me?"
It can't be because you think my face is ugly and you want to put some makeup on me, right?
"Go put on makeup."
Lu Sheige took the box, sat in front of the table where Lu Hebei was approving memorials, and asked casually, "Who usually helps you comb your hair and dress up? A small table or a small stool?"
Lu Hebei didn't understand what she meant, but he still answered truthfully: "It's a small cabinet."
Lu Xiuge picked up a brush and started to apply it on his face, "Then you can ask Xiaoqiang to come in and pick out two pairs of your clothes for me to wear."
"mine?"
Lu Hebei said in surprise, "Are you going to go out disguised as a man again? My aunt won't let you go out and run around."
"I'm not going out, so you first let the little cabinet come in and choose two pairs of clothes for you." After saying that, Lu Sheige raised his head and glanced at Lu Hebei quickly, "You are so thin, I guess I don't need to change your clothes, so first
Let’s leave it like this.”
This tone was a bit disgusting and critical.
If it had been anyone else, Lu Hebei would have ignored her long ago.
But this was his sister, so he could only call the small cabinet guarding outside to come in and find two clothes for the princess that the emperor would wear.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Xiaoqiang thought that he heard wrongly and asked stammeringly, "What kind of clothes should you choose?"
If he didn't ask clearly, he was afraid that he would take the wrong one and his head would be in danger!
Lu Hebei's face sank: "Just pick two comfortable and light robes."
You can't choose a dragon robe.
Little Cabinet understands, this is to choose two pairs of casual clothes. Thinking about the emperor's clothes, it seems that there is no one that can be worn out of the palace.
this……
It was really embarrassing for his little cabinet!
Xiaoqiang really wants to ask the princess what kind of robe you want, so that I, my slave, can choose it for you.
After washing your face, apply moisturizing lotion, first apply foundation, then apply liquid foundation...
Many things were invented by Lu Sheige in order to make money, but after she came up with them, she found that it was actually very difficult to get the public to recognize so many things.
Later, she no longer obsessed with making cosmetics to make money, but instead used these things for herself, or gave a small part of them to others.
For example, the lipstick used by the Queen Mother, the perfume used by the Queen, the anti-wrinkle cream used by Mrs. Shen Er, the tooth powder used by Mrs. Shen, the eyebrow pencil used by Mrs. Shen...
There are always one or two things she makes that they particularly like.
However, if Lu Xiangge gave them something he had made for them to use, they would be confused and they would not be able to use it or understand it at all.
Like the box of cosmetics Lu Shege is using now, she originally made two boxes and brought them to the palace to give to the Queen Mother and the Empress.
But the Queen Mother felt that she was already the Queen Mother and did not need to apply makeup or powder.
As for the queen, she was pregnant first, then nurturing, and then again. She didn't use the box of cosmetics given by Lu Shege, but she just put it away.
Now, the empress dowager and empress, as well as those brought into the palace by Lu Shege, were all brought over by Wan Zhao and piled on the desk where the emperor was correcting memorials.
Looking at the busy princess, and then at the eagerly looking emperor, the little cabinet closed its eyes and started to choose.
Lu Sheige put on her makeup very slowly, applying it deeply and lightly, sweeping it here and thickening it there, and soon her eyes and eyebrows changed.
Lu Hebei looked at Lu Sheige, who was facing him, observing him while putting on makeup, and seemed to suddenly understand something.
He couldn't help but sit up straight and stared closely at Lu Sheige's face.
Why does this face look more and more familiar the more I look at it?
This familiarity is not because she is Lu Shege, but her sister.
Instead, between Lu Sheige's eyebrows, he actually felt as if he was looking in a mirror.
Lu Hebei was startled, as if he had realized something.
He couldn't believe what he was thinking, but he didn't dare to look away.
If it was really what he thought, then his sister and aunt were too bold.
He would never agree to this matter, and he would never allow his sister to sacrifice herself for the sake of the Chen family.
"Your Majesty, look."
I had selected two or three outfits in the small cabinet, but I always felt that they were not suitable for the princess, and I didn't dare not to take them out, so I could only bring them to the emperor.
The clothes that can be placed on the Queen Mother's side are almost all worn by the emperor on weekdays, and there are few suitable for wearing out of the palace.
Lu Hebei looked at it, put the small cabinet down, and waved him out.
He probably understood what Lu Shege meant, but he didn't dare to think about it deeply.
Since his sister said she wanted clothes, he would personally choose a set for her.
