"Oh, yes, sister, let me tell you, I brought the silver myself this time. Look at this heavy bag."
Before Qian Ruoyu could finish her words, the voices of the three concubines were heard from the palace gate.
One of them was working hard to introduce it to Qian Ruoyu.
"Look at it, it's so beautiful and delicate. If it were someone else, I wouldn't say anything, but you are my sister, so I must introduce you to it."
Another concubine also said.
"Yes, yes. If we weren't sisters, I wouldn't be willing to introduce each other. I'm afraid you can't find rouge and powder of this value in the entire capital!"
After hearing what they said, the seven or eight concubines who followed later nodded immediately.
After they entered the palace, they first met Concubine Rong, and then smiled at Qian Ruoyu.
After all, Concubine Rong's status here is slightly higher. Although she has not reached the supreme level, she has at least been favored.
The concubine who has been favored by the emperor may still have a chance to turn the tables in the future, so she should be respected.
Concubine Rong said.
"Since you are all here, let my dear sister give you a try. If you don't like it, then we'll tell you. If you like it, you can take it. My dear sister, these things are extraordinary."
After saying this, Concubine Rong picked up the box of goose egg yolks that she had just received from Qian Ruoyu.
"Look, the quality is exactly the same. They are all top-notch products."
Qian Ruoyu was extremely satisfied to receive such an introduction from Concubine Rong.
It seems that the gift is really worth it!
Concubine Rong introduced the things with great effort. After seeing the things on the table, several concubines who had just arrived began to try them with the help of everyone.
Before long, everyone's faces were heavily made up, using the rouge and powder that Qian Ruoyu brought.
But even with heavy makeup, you still can't tell that there are too many signs of makeup, but it looks more natural.
It is delicate and smooth, and looks rosy, which is comparable to natural makeup.
It is very difficult to achieve such an effect in this era, so Qian Ruoyu also said to them.
"Sisters, please take a look at the bronze mirror. You can tell the effect at a glance. There is no need for me to explain it to you so earnestly."
After Qian Ruoyu finished speaking, Concubine Rong quickly asked her palace maids to put two or three bronze mirrors on the table so that they could look at them freely.
And the next moment, several people immediately let out cries of shock on their faces.
"Wow……"
One of the concubines said.
"This... this rouge is so bright and has a faint fragrance. It leaves no trace when I apply it on my face. I can't even feel its presence."
Another concubine said.
"It's really mysterious. Is there really such a rouge in the world?"
"Not to mention the rouge," said the third concubine, "this powder is also top quality, with fine grains and smooth texture, and it doesn't have any trace of makeup at all, it's absolutely amazing!"
She was not surprised to hear everyone praising Qian Ruoyu so much, after all, she had already tried it.
If it wasn't a really good thing, Qian Ruoyu wouldn't have taken it to the inner courtyard of the imperial palace to buy it. People in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace are all connoisseurs of valuables. If she really brought something ordinary, she would probably just be laughed at.
Besides, they are the emperor's concubines, and they must have heard and seen some of the precious treasures.
These things introduced from the Western Regions are naturally completely different and cannot be compared with local rouge and powder.
Concubine Rong also took the opportunity to speak.
"Sisters, don't just talk. If you are really interested, go ask Princess Ye for it. Maybe Princess Ye doesn't bring much this time."
"Haha, if someone says it's too late, there really won't be any rouge and powder left. These things are so precious, and Princess Ye may not have much of them."
After they heard what Concubine Rong said, they all nodded immediately and then spoke to Qian Ruoyu.
"Princess Ye, I wonder how much you have left? I want three boxes of this goose yellow powder!"
"Princess Ye, I want one too, I want one too!"
Seeing these six or seven concubines rushing to speak, Qian Ruoyu quickly asked everyone to calm down, and then called Yan'er.
After giving Yan'er a few instructions, Yan'er ran out happily and continued to bring things in with a basket.
After putting the basket on the table, Yan'er took out all the rouge and powder boxes one by one and placed them carefully on the table to show her respect for the rouge and powder.
When everyone saw Qian Ruoyu take out so many rouge and powder, they felt much more at ease. Naturally, they were also worried that what Qian Ruoyu brought was not enough.
Before one basket was finished, Yan'er went back to the carriage and loaded another basket.
After all, the amount that these six or seven concubines need to purchase is not just a small amount.
Among Qian Ruoyu's rouge and powder, there are many varieties, and even if they are given as gifts, they will not look down on others. They are so thoughtful, how can Qian Ruoyu not see it?
There have always been many etiquettes in the inner court of the imperial palace. If there are any festivals, gifts must be given to the empress, the empress dowager, the crown princess, etc., so that they can at least take care of each other.
It is precisely because of this that the quantity they purchase is definitely not small.
Concubine Rong took this opportunity to speak to everyone.
"Sisters, we are not playing tricks. Princess Ye has brought all the things here. If you really need them, why don't you go back to your own palaces and get your real money?"
After hearing what Concubine Rong said, everyone nodded. They really wanted it and they were not just playing around.
At this time a concubine said.
"Sister Rong, why don't we know the price yet? If it's too expensive, we sisters won't be able to accept it easily!"
After hearing this, the other concubines suddenly realized that the price of rouge and powder must be very high.
Therefore, everyone looked over here, wanting to know what the price was.
Concubine Rong also attracted everyone's attention to Qian Ruoyu. After all, only Qian Ruoyu could tell the price personally.
Qian Ruoyu knew that now was the time to test herself again.
Almost all the concubines in the palace are shrewd people, and Qian Ruoyu had already given preferential treatment to the original three concubines long before this. Naturally, she could not give preferential treatment to these concubines casually. At the same time, she had to make these concubines feel that the price they bought was a preferential price.
It was for this reason that Qian Ruoyu closed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment and then spoke.
"My dear sisters, you were all introduced by the sisters and concubines. I will naturally not charge you too high a price, so you can rest assured!"
