Speaking of this, she stuck out her tongue secretly. Anyway, she was not willing to spend money to prepare birthday gifts for Concubine Chang. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally had an idea. What woman doesn't love beauty? Concubine Chang must also want to be young and beautiful. She originally thought that modern women like cosmetics most, and women in ancient times must be no exception, but there are no cosmetics in the operating room.
So, she simply took out a bottle of fish oil from the operating room to deal with it. Anyway, these ancient people had never seen this thing before, so she could say so.
Hearing what she said, Wu Linlin half-squinted her eyes and said coldly and disdainfully:
"I'm not sure where this thing of yours came from. Mother and concubine don't dare to use it indiscriminately. Don't turn around and smear your face, otherwise the gain will outweigh the loss."
Seeing her doubts, Concubine Chang's face changed slightly. She knew that Shui Luolan hated her, and she knew some medical skills. If she really did something with this little pill, her face would be ruined.
But she still looked at the medicine bottle in Luo Lan's hand calmly, and asked suspiciously:
"I have never seen this thing before, so I don't know how to use it, so I'll just accept it for now!"
Listening to the meaning in her words, Luo Lan knew that she believed Wu Linlin's words and did not dare to use this thing easily. So wasn't her gift in vain?
Thinking of this, she leaned forward and said:
"If the empress doesn't believe Luo Lan, you can let Luo Lan try it on the spot. You can find a palace maid with a dry face."
As soon as she finished speaking, all the palace maids present lowered their heads, fearing that they would become the test subjects. If their faces were ruined, it would be worse than their lives.
Concubine Chang looked at the emperor. After getting his permission, she glanced around for a week. When she saw that no one was willing to come out, she looked at Nanny Yu next to her and said:
"The skin of these palace maids is very tender. If you can't test the effect, why don't you let Aunt Yu try it?"
Luo Lan nodded without objection, "Then please invite Aunt Yu to come to my place."
After all, Mammy Yu is someone who has experienced strong winds and waves. Besides, even if her face is really ruined, Concubine Chang will support her, so she is not afraid.
So, Nanny Yu came to Luo Lan with a cold face, and her old face almost stretched to her feet.
Luo Lan motioned to Ah Cai to move a round stool for Aunt Yu, and then said to her:
"Mommy Yu, please take a seat."
Aunt Yu held her hands in front of her and said coldly:
"I don't dare to do this in front of the emperor and other ladies."
After hearing this, Luo Lan looked at the emperor with pleading eyes, and the emperor directly waved his hand and said:
"Sit down! Today is Concubine Chang Ai's birthday. It's a good day, so there's no need to be too formal."
After receiving the emperor's permission and Luo Lan's urging, Nanny Yu sat down reluctantly.
Luo Lan looked at her dry face carefully and couldn't help but frown. Apart from a layer of dry powder on her face, there seemed to be nothing else painted on it.
But it's no wonder that in ancient times when supplies were scarce, there was no such thing as cosmetics. After cleaning the face, women would directly apply pearl powder while the face was still wet. Farm women could only apply low-quality gouache and lead powder.
Therefore, the thick layer of powder on Grandma Yu's face seemed to fall off at any time if she moved even slightly.
She said to Ah Cai again:
"Bring me a basin of water."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Yu was instantly unhappy, "What are you going to do?"
Luo Lan looked at her, pursed her lips and chuckled, "Does Aunt Yu doubt that I will kill you in front of the emperor and other ladies?"
Aunt Yu snorted softly and murmured:
"I don't dare to measure you."
"That's natural."
While Luo Lan was replying, Ah Lian had already come to her with a basin of water.
Luo Lan said to grandma:
"Mom, please wash the left side of your face."
"Why?"
Aunt Yu looked at her with a dissatisfied expression, and then looked at Concubine Chang Guifei, "Your Majesty, I am too old to be humiliated in public. Please make the decision for me."
Hearing what she said, Concubine Chang's expression changed slightly. Aunt Yu was the old man next to her and the person she trusted the most. How could she watch her be wronged?
Just when she was about to speak for her, Luo Lan said directly and easily:
"Mommy, don't worry. I just want to use the other half of your face for comparison to see if my thing is good for your skin. Luo Lan doesn't want to die so soon, so he won't do anything."
Although Aunt Yu was still a little unhappy, the Emperor was already interested.
He waved his hand directly and said:
"Don't worry, Aunt Yu. I'm here to watch. If Princess Ruoyu does anything wrong, I will make the decision for you."
Hearing what the emperor said, even if Grandma Yu was dissatisfied, she could not say anything and could only wash the left half of her face.
When she scrubbed off the gouache and exposed the left half of her face, it was immediately clear that it was half a dry and wrinkled face.
Grandma Yu suppressed her shy expression and covered her face with her hands.
Luo Lan stepped forward, took her hand away, and then whispered:
"It's not easy for a grandma to have such facial skin at such an old age, so why not show it to everyone."
After saying that, she took the transparent bottle from Ah Hong's hand, then took out a pellet of fish oil, pinched open the small mouth, dripped it on her finger, gently smeared it on her left face, and then slowly spread it on her face. Apply in a circular motion until the fish oil is completely absorbed.
Aunt Yu was a little curious, with a cold and comfortable feeling on her face.
Just when she was surprised, the people present were surprised to find that half of the face that had been as dry as a dead tree had become smooth and shiny at this moment.
Luo Lan raised her eyes and whispered to the emperor and Concubine Chang:
"Fish oil contains vitamins A and D, which can moisturize the skin, increase the elasticity of the skin, and make the skin on the face white and delicate. Especially if you apply it before going to bed at night, you will look much younger when you wake up in the morning. .”
Listening to her confused words and seeing the changes in the skin of Grandma Yu's face, the women present were full of curiosity about this little pill.
Concubine Chang also waved her right hand with a joyful expression, "Quick, show me that magical thing."
Hearing this, Luo Lan handed the two bottles of fish oil and the box into the hands of Aunt Yu. Aunt Yu quickly came to Concubine Chang,
"Mother, please take a look."
She looked up at half of Nanny Yu's face and asked with a concerned tone:
"Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Grandma Yu shook her head, "No, on the contrary, it feels like my face is no longer dry, and it feels wet."
Hearing what Aunt Yu said, Concubine Chang looked at the two bottles of pills as if she had received a treasure. She was so happy that she seemed to be young and beautiful.
She changed her cold face and said to Luo Lan with a smile:
"Lan'er is really thoughtful. This thing is rare. My mother-in-law will cherish it and use it later."
Look, I gave her something she liked and changed her name to Lan'er. She used to call herself Princess Yu, but when she suddenly changed her name, Luo Lan felt uncomfortable.
However, she still leaned forward and replied with a smile:
"My Lady, you don't have to worry about it. Apply one pill every day before going to bed, and another one after washing your face in the morning, and then apply makeup. This will be better. These two bottles will be enough for you for more than half a year. When you run out, you can follow up. I said so."
