Chapter 293 The abacus beads are about to pop out.
After opening the lid and using it only once or twice, the rouge became just an ordinary rouge, not an osmanthus rouge at all.
If this rouge could be put on the market, it would surely be very popular.
If it could be sold in shops before the Qiqiao Festival on July 7 this year, every girl in the capital would buy one.
Which girl doesn't want to use a rouge with a delicate and unpretentious scent to pray for wisdom under the moon with a few close friends, and to peek at her lover at the same time?
An Lingrong's mind was working so fast that it felt like the abacus beads in her head were moving so fast that they were about to pop out.
"Mr. An?" Noble Lady Fucha called out tentatively when she saw An Lingrong staring at Yanzhi.
"Are all these...given to me?" An Lingrong asked, looking into Noble Fucha's eyes in disbelief.
Noble Lady Fucha burst out laughing: "Of course, all of this is for you. You saved me and the baby in my belly from Sang'er, and I have always wanted to thank you. Giving you gold and silver always feels that it is not enough to express my feelings, so I made these rouges for you in the past month."
Noble Lady Fucha finally expressed her gratitude which had been suppressed in her heart.
Concubine Hua had her own ulterior motive when she saved her. She could have negotiated terms with Concubine Hua and made an exchange, but An Lingrong was different. An Lingrong could have ignored her and not helped her, but she helped her regardless of the past grudges.
This was the first time that An Lingrong heard someone say thank you. It was a very strange feeling. She was good friends with Shen Meiyu and Zhen Huan in the harem. They always gave her many things, and she would say thank you to them every time.
Even though she often gave Jinghe some small clothes, Shen Meizhuang often waved Jinghe's little hand and said, "Thank you Aunt An."
But that feeling is still different from the feeling now.
This is a feeling of equality. She is not inferior to anyone else, and there is no condition in exchange. It is just because of her pure kindness that she gets a sincere thank you from others.
"Sister, you are so polite. When your baby is born, I will make a lot of small clothes for him." An Lingrong blinked to relieve her sore eyes.
"Then I am the one who got the upper hand. I have been envious of the bellybands you made for Jinghe for a long time." Everyone in the palace knew that An Lingrong had excellent craftsmanship. "Also, this box of Luozidai was given to me by the emperor when he was favored two years ago. I can't use it now, so don't despise it."
Noble Lady Fucha signaled to Yingtao to place the box of Luozidai in front of An Lingrong.
Except for the palace of Concubine Hua, where Luozidai was distributed by the box, the rest of the palaces distributed it by the stick. The concubines who were not favored did not get to use Luozidai at all.
An Lingrong was lucky enough to receive three tubes of Luozidai from the Imperial Household Department when she first became favored by the emperor. She never expected that Noble Lady Fucha would be willing to give all of her own Luozidai to her.
"Thank you very much, sister. Why don't you keep it for yourself?" An Lingrong did not refuse. Noble Lady Fucha was really expressing her gratitude to her. Only if she accepted it well could Noble Lady Fucha feel at ease.
"Why do I need to draw my eyebrows when I'm pregnant? You should dress up well and try to have a prince as soon as possible." Noble Lady Fucha touched her belly with satisfaction. She was favored for drawing her eyebrows, and her eyebrows grew long into her temples. She didn't want to fight for it anymore.
Hearing about giving birth, An Lingrong only smiled faintly. She hesitated in her heart, wondering whether she should ask Noble Lady Fucha about how to make rouge. Unexpectedly, Noble Lady Fucha spoke first:
"Here is a recipe that shows the steps I took to make these rouges. If you are interested, you can try following this recipe."
Noble Lady Fucha was not a stupid person. She had noticed that although An Lingrong was only a concubine, she was generous in rewarding her servants, and her food, clothing and other expenses were often a little more noble than that of a concubine. Although An Lingrong hid it well, Noble Lady Fucha still discovered it.
These things are beyond the reach of An Lingrong's monthly allowance.
And An Lingrong doesn't just like rouge, she likes to develop rouge more. Something that can make people devote endless energy and time to something is either power or money.
If it was for power, An Lingrong was not very warm to the emperor.
It's only for money.
Although Noble Fucha's family was well-off, she also knew that the things in her hands could be sold for money.
Otherwise, when I was in the mansion, those ladies who came to sell rouge would not have tried every means to please me and ask about the recipe for making rouge.
An Lingrong watched as Noble Lady Fucha so lightly put what was in her mind into her hands.
The reality is too good to be true, it's like a dream.
"Sister, if I use this prescription..." An Lingrong was about to plead her case. She felt that it would be too conscienceless if she didn't tell Noble Lady Fucha about selling the prescription for money.
"This is your stuff now. What you want to do and how you do it has nothing to do with me. You don't have to tell me. Just be happy." Noble Lady Fucha took another sip of the golden thread red date tea.
The tea tastes really good. She said that An Lingrong was willing to spend money but she just didn't show it on her face.
Naturally, Noble Lady Fucha did not give An Lingrong any gold or silver. This prescription was not as valuable as dead gold and silver.
"Thank you, sister." An Lingrong's heart trembled, and she made a decision secretly in her heart.
"I've been sitting in your room for a long time. I want to go outside for a walk as well." Noble Lady Fucha raised her hand to signal Yingtao to help her up. "You should take a good rest."
"Goodbye, Sister Fucha." An Lingrong stood up and bowed to Noble Lady Fucha.
Having resolved a major issue on her mind, Noble Lady Fucha felt a lot more relaxed.
Just wait a few days and give birth to this little guy in my belly, and then life will be more hopeful.
Just then, Noble Lady Fucha felt the fetus move, and it seemed that the baby in her belly was as happy as she was.
After Noble Lady Fucha left the Yanx Palace, Yingtao helped her walk towards the Imperial Garden.
Now that she is further along in the pregnancy, the imperial physician advises her to move more so that it will be easier for her to give birth.
She took all of this to heart.
This time, she will definitely give birth safely.
The oleander season has arrived at the end of May, and one of the oleander trees in the Imperial Garden has already opened a large number of brilliant flowers.
Swaying in the wind, it is particularly moving.
Noble Lady Fucha couldn't help but walk towards the oleander, and happened to run into Concubine Hua who was walking towards her.
Empress Hua is truly bright and charming.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to Her Majesty Hua Fei."
Noble Lady Fucha stood in front of a large patch of gorgeous pink flowers and bowed politely to Concubine Hua with her pregnant belly.
