Chapter 366: Su Yan Fang [Three Updates]



Everyone was very enthusiastic. They got up before dawn and worked with the craftsmen to prepare materials for making rouge and wine. Then they waited until they were free at noon to find someone to customize the plaques.

From beginning to end, Mu Nanjin didn't need to worry about anything.

She only needed to take a walk around the square every day and then leave.

After the rouge was successfully made, Mu Nanjin went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother on the day when all the concubines and juniors paid their respects to the Queen Mother.

When the Queen Mother saw Mu Nanjin carrying a box into the palace, she asked with a smile, "Mu girl, are you here to bring me goodies again?"

When everyone heard about the good stuff, they looked at Mu Nanjin.

Mu Nanjin hummed.

Princess Xueyu came over holding her son and said, "Mu Nanjin, what's in your box? Open it and let me see."

Mu Nanjin didn't keep it a secret: "It's rouge."

"Rouge?" Princess Xueyu handed the child to the maid next to her and asked, "Is this the rouge you brought back from Wucheng?"

"The rouge is made in my workshop."

"Your workshop?" Princess Xueyu asked in surprise, "You opened a workshop?"

"Well, I will not only sell rouge in the future, but also wine and tonic soup. You are welcome to patronize my Suyanfang, Zuifang and Tangshenfu in the future."

Mu Nanjin opened the box and gave each of the empress dowager, the queen, the concubines, and the princesses a box of rouge.

Due to the tight time schedule, the box for the rouge was rather rough, and some concubines and princesses looked down on Mu Nanjin's items.

The Queen Mother was smart and saw through Mu Nanjin's intention at a glance. She smiled and said, "The rouge made by Mu girl must be the best rouge."

Princess Xueyu smiled and said, "We have never been disappointed by anything Mu Nanjin sends us."

[Of course, the rouge I make can protect your skin and nourish your complexion. I guarantee that all the concubines and princesses cannot live without it, hehe.]

When the concubines and princesses heard Princess Xueyu's words, they couldn't help but think of the Jade Face Pill that Mu Nanjin gave Princess Xueyu a few years ago.

Suddenly, everyone looked at Rouge differently, and some even couldn't wait to go back to their own palaces to try out the effects of Rouge.

The Imperial Concubine was the first to find an excuse to leave, and the others followed suit.

After leaving Yongshou Palace, everyone wished they could grow a pair of wings and fly back to their own palace.

After the imperial concubine returned to her palace, she hurriedly said to her chief maid, "Quick, put rouge on my face."

"yes."

The senior palace maid opened the rouge box, and a faint fragrance spread from the box to the surroundings.

"My lady, the rouge smells so good."

The Imperial Concubine also thought it smelled particularly good: "It is indeed fragrant, and it is a fragrance that I have never smelled before, and it is also a color that I have never seen before. It is really special."

The senior maid first removed the makeup for the imperial concubine, and then applied rouge to her face: "My lady, how do you feel?"

The Imperial Concubine looked at herself in the bronze mirror again and again: "I don't feel anything. Could it be that I didn't use enough rouge?"

"It's already quite a bit. Any more and it won't look good. Speaking of which, this box of pink rouge is especially suitable for you. You look particularly young after using it."

"It just makes me look younger, but it doesn't really make me younger."

The imperial concubine couldn't be happy.

Whenever she thought about the queen becoming younger, she almost became crazy with jealousy.

These concubines were also unable to face the young emperor. Not only did they feel inferior, but they also did not want to face the emperor with their old faces.

The head maid comforted her: "Madam, let's wait a little longer. Maybe it will take effect in a few hours."

The imperial concubine could only wait patiently, but there was no change at night. She lay down on the bed with a look of disappointment on her face, and gradually fell asleep in the middle of the night.

At the hour of Mao the next day, she, who was used to getting up early, opened her sleepy eyes.

The palace maids hurriedly helped her wash and change her clothes. When she sat in front of the dressing table, the head maid looked at her and exclaimed in surprise.

The imperial concubine asked listlessly, "Why are you so surprised?"

The senior maid happily replied: "In reply to your Majesty, I found that your skin has become smoother and your crow's feet have become less."

"real?"

The imperial concubine looked at herself in the mirror with a half-believing look, and then a look of great joy appeared on her face: "Am I seeing things? Not only have the crow's feet become less, but my skin has also become much softer."

The eldest maid smiled and said, "No, I'm not dazzled."

The Imperial Concubine said in a hurry, "Quick, put some rouge on my face again."

"yes."

Not only did the imperial concubine become younger, but other concubines in the palace also became younger. However, some of them were impatient and smashed their rouge boxes when they couldn't become younger immediately. Now their rouge has long been treated as garbage.

They were so regretful that they wanted to slap themselves. The eunuchs and maids in their palace searched through all the garbage in the palace but could not find the discarded rouge box.

"You useless bunch can't even find a rouge box."

The angry curses of Concubine Su were heard from Liren Palace.

The palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground and dared not make a sound.

The rouge box was disposed of yesterday, and the eunuch in charge of collecting garbage had already burned all of yesterday's garbage.

The head maid said cautiously, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Although the rouge box given by Lord Mu is gone, we can still buy rouge from Lord Mu's shop."

Lady Su's eyes lit up: "Yes, why didn't I think of buying rouge from the store? Lvliu, you are the smartest. Then I'll leave the matter of buying rouge to you."

"yes."

But a palace maid cannot leave the palace immediately after saying so, and Concubine Su is only a noble lady and has no right to order a palace maid to leave the palace. Therefore, Lvliu needs to report to the steward and wait for his consent before she can leave the palace.

But Concubine Su was very anxious, so Luliu had to ask the eunuch in charge of purchasing to help buy rouge.

However, Suyanfang had just opened, and the eunuch in charge of purchasing had never heard of the store. He looked around the street but couldn't find Suyanfang.

The madam in charge of Suyanfang, now the shopkeeper Qi, waited in the shop. Three days passed, but no customer came to buy rouge. Even when they went to the street to solicit people, no woman or girl was willing to enter Suyanfang.

It’s not that the rouge in Suyanfang is bad, nor that the decoration of Suyanfang is bad, nor that the service attitude of Suyanfang is bad, but that Suyanfang’s predecessor was a brothel, and the people who sold rouge were prostitutes, and no one wanted to have anything to do with them.

This made Manager Qi very anxious. She reported the matter to Mu Nanjin, but the other party was not in a hurry at all and even asked them to wait patiently for a few days.

Shopkeeper Qi had no choice but to return to Suyanfang and wait for another six days, and finally welcomed the first customer on the tenth day of their opening.

The other person walked in and asked cautiously, "Excuse me, is this the Suyan Shop that sells rouge?"
