Chapter 180 Secret Method
Wen Li'er stood there, looking at Princess Taiping's receding back, and the trembling in her fingertips gradually subsided.
She bent down to pick up the stepped-on golden phoenix hairpin, gently brushed off the dust on it, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Your Majesty..." Nanny Qin walked forward worriedly.
"It's okay." Wen Li'er handed the hairpin to Qingzhu, "Put it away."
Ye Caiwei frowned and said, "Princess Taiping is going too far."
"Wen Li'er gathered her cloak and said with a smile, "She was just venting her anger for others.
Princess Taiping was targeting her everywhere today, probably because she heard the Queen's complaints.
Forget it, just let these people who are unfriendly to you go.
"It's quite cold tonight. Sister Ye, please go back quickly. Prince Lin must have been waiting for a long time."
Ye Caiwei was worried about her, so she sent her back to Bixi Palace before leaving.
At this time, Xiaoxiao was already fast asleep in the wet nurse's arms.
Wen Li'er kissed the little guy and asked He to take Xiaoxiao to his own bedroom to sleep.
But tonight, Wen Li'er couldn't sleep.
She rarely suffered from insomnia, and the only time she felt so upset was during the first six months after entering the Eastern Palace.
She sat quietly in front of the window, supporting her chin and looking at the dark night outside.
A red lantern hanging under the eaves of the hall is particularly dazzling.
The words Princess Taiping said kept appearing in Wen Li'er's mind.
——When beauty fades, love fades, and when love fades, kindness ends——
She didn't dare to think that one day, he would no longer have any affection for her and she would no longer have any love for him.
This kind of thing had happened to me before, but no matter how I thought about it, it wouldn’t cause much ripples in my heart.
But why is it different now?
She had previously ordered herself not to be tempted and not to have any expectations.
There will be no despair if there is no expectation and hope, and there will be no hurt by love if the heart is ruthless.
She entered the palace and her husband was the most noble man in the world.
But he is not her husband alone.
She had clearly been controlling herself, but in the end, she was still lost in his 'goodness'.
He is good-looking, has a good temper, and is good to her.
It's hard not to be moved by such a good man after being with him for a long time.
Wen Li'er sighed deeply.
Seeing that her master was not sleeping and was sighing towards a tree outside, Nanny Qin couldn't help but feel worried.
"Master, are you unhappy about the trouble Princess Taiping caused you today? How about... telling the Emperor? He will definitely help you vent your anger."
Wen Li'er shook her head. "Don't tell His Majesty about this. He's busy with things every day. How could I bother him with such a small matter? Besides, I'm not injured."
Now it was Nanny Qin's turn to sigh.
The master is still so stupid. He has the greatest backer in the world but doesn't know how to use it.
If other women were bullied, they would definitely go to the emperor and file a complaint.
Just as Nanny Qin was thinking this, she saw her master looking at her hesitantly, her face turning red with shyness.
Aunt Qin:???
"Master, do you have anything to say to this old servant?"
Wen Li'er cleared her throat and said shyly, "Mammy... didn't you say before... didn't you say... there was that... that secret method..."
If it were someone else, they would definitely not understand what Wen Li'er was saying.
But after being confused for a moment, Nanny Qin immediately understood.
She was stunned.
She had mentioned that secret method several times before, but the master was too shy to learn it, and now she actually brought it up on her own initiative...
Nanny Qin guessed that Princess Taiping might have said something to her master today that hit her hard.
Nanny Qin was naturally happy to see this.
She looked around the hall, made sure there were no extra people, and started to lecture.
Wen Li'er hurriedly stopped her and asked Qingmei and Qingzhu, who were guarding beside her, to go out.
This secret method is so embarrassing, it’s better to do it secretly.
Nanny Qin thought her mistress was too thin-skinned. What was wrong with that? Which woman didn't care about her upside and downside?
She has a whole set of secret methods for women's beauty care in her mind, from hair to toes, there are secret methods for every part of her body, and only she has them.
Thinking of the origin of this whole set of secret techniques, there was a hint of nostalgia and pain in Nanny Qin's eyes.
Nanny Qin's original name was Qin Sang.
At the age of fifteen, in the prime of her life, she was sold into the palace by her family.
After entering the palace and being trained, she was lucky enough to be assigned to serve in the palace of He Zhaoyi, the most favored concubine at the time.
Although she was just a maid responsible for sweeping the courtyard, she was already better than many other maids who entered the palace at the same time.
He Zhaoyi has a great complexion and her whole body is exquisitely maintained.
Especially the pair of breasts on her chest were maintained very perfectly. Even when she died of illness, they were still full and tall, without any sagging.
Such a favored Zhaoyi fell ill and her appearance was damaged, and she was gradually forgotten by the late emperor.
This palace is full of people who curry favor with the powerful, flatter the wealthy, and look down on the weak.
Even the palace maids who served her were taking advantage of her misfortune.
All the palace maids and eunuchs who could find a way to leave had left, and those who had no choice but to stay were filled with resentment.
In the end, only the most loyal palace maid Nan Yu and she, the lower-ranking palace maid in charge of cleaning, were left.
After all, they were master and servant, and when Zhaoyi was in great favor, she treated people kindly.
During the time when Zhaoyi was seriously ill, Qin Sang followed Nan Yu and took care of Zhaoyi He with all his heart.
But, it only lasted for half a year.
He Zhaoyi eventually died of illness.
When she died, although she was so thin that she was no longer in human form, she still wore the most beautiful dress, put on the most exquisite makeup, and died with the most beautiful appearance.
And the loyal Nan Yu also followed.
During that half year, Nan Yu tried every possible means to extend He Zhaoyi's life.
In order to get the medicinal herbs, Nan Yu even became the mistress of several eunuchs at the same time and let them play with her.
But in the end, He Zhaoyi died, and Nan Yu lost the faith to live.
The night before He Zhaoyi's death, Nan Yu seemed to sense something.
She called Qin Sang to her master's room and gave her a thick stack of rice paper to thank her for her wholehearted care for He Zhaoyi over the past six months.
On the rice paper, a complete set of secret methods for women's skin care were recorded, which were used by He Zhaoyi every day.
Nan Yu instructed Qin Sang to memorize all the secret techniques as soon as possible, and then burn all the rice paper with the secret techniques recorded on it, leaving no trace.
She told Qin Sang that he could offer the entire set of secret techniques he had memorized in his mind to his future master, so that he would definitely have a place in front of the new master.
At that time, Qin Sang had bad thoughts.
The next day, Qin Sang got some water and went to serve He Zhaoyi, but found that He Zhaoyi was lying on the bed without a sound.
Nan Yu took a poison pill to end his life, then lay on the edge of He Zhaoyi's bed and closed his eyes peacefully.
Qin Sang was both sad and shocked. She collapsed on the ground and cried for a while. Then she ran to the Shanggong Bureau in a daze to report the death.
The Shanggong Bureau sent two female officials in charge of funerals and a palace maid to the Internal Affairs Bureau. The eunuchs of the Internal Affairs Bureau examined the body and recorded the cause of He Zhaoyi's death. After the examination, they buried her hastily.
Concubine Zhaoyi was once such a glorious lady, but she ended up with a tragic ending because she lost the emperor's favor.
When the rabbit is dead, the dog is cooked.
In the end, apart from Qin Sang, no one else was there to see her off.
A Zhaoyi who was forgotten by the emperor died in a lonely and desolate manner.
