The reborn prince's little palace maid in the apocalypse

Chapter 77 New Year’s Eve Banquet (2)

When he returned to the East Palace and entered the gate, Yan Sinian just went to the front hall. The front hall of the East Palace is also called Yin'an Hall. It is the place where the prince handles matters, recruits civil and military officials, handles national affairs, and issues government orders. Apart from the name, the function here is the same as the emperor's Golden Palace.

As the general manager of the East Palace, Quan Defu knew everything about the East Palace inside and outside. He also knew who lived in the back hall of Yin'an Palace, because Xiaoba had never slept here before, and he had been sleeping with him before. Others have said that this little palace maid still knows herself. But he didn't expect that His Highness would actually come here to pick someone up, and he didn't expect that the person he picked up was indeed Yunba.

It was also in the past few days that he paid attention to this Yunba again. His Highness had kept this little girl in the dining room before. He was still thinking about whether this little girl would have some good fortune. Unexpectedly, His Highness had ignored her for three years. ask. He didn't take this girl seriously, but he didn't expect that now she really won His Highness's favor. His Highness actually took her to this year's palace banquet. Not only did he bring a palace maid to the banquet, but he also came back to pick her up. One trip.

Quan Defu was thinking when he suddenly saw a man in a cloak walking out. A fine sable fur cloak and a bonnet covered the whole person inside. The cloak seemed a bit big, and the person inside was too short, so the back half of the cloak was too small. Some of them were even dragged to the ground. At this time, Ren Gu was helping to carry the cloak behind her. Ren Gu was followed by four palace maids.

Yan Sinian had told Aunt Fu before that the bigger the ostentation for Xiao Ba today, the better. Therefore, according to Aunt Fu's arrangement, four maids should surround Xiao Ba and two of them would help her walk. However, Xiaoba couldn't accept this kind of check and balance. If someone held her wrist, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but hurt someone. In the end, I had no choice but to let Xiaojiu follow behind and carry the cloak. This was because I was a familiar friend.

Today, Aunt Fu went to the dining room before dawn, took Xiao Ba back to her room with a jar of fragrant chicken feet. Grandma Fu had made rice wine with fragrant rice wine and used it to prepare the soup some time ago. She had people keep the chicken feet, cleaned them up, added seasonings and fragrant rice wine, marinated it in a jar, and buried it in the snow, thinking of celebrating the New Year. When I was there, I gave Xiaoba a snack.

The jar is now placed on the table. When she entered, Grandma Fu only gave Xiaoba a small plate of chicken feet and made an agreement with her that as long as she obeyed, she would give her the rest.

So at this moment, Xiao Ba was chewing the rotten chicken feet that were soft and boneless but still cold. He was sitting in his room, watching Aunt Fu and the four maids in her room, busy in and out, She secretly glanced at the jar containing the chicken feet.

A few days ago, Xiaoba met the other two second-class maids in her room. One of them helped her manage her small warehouse, and the other helped her manage external affairs. Xiaoba didn't know what they were doing specifically. She doesn't care either. It's just that these two asked her to give them names when they met. She originally thought of calling them "Pork Ribs and Sauce Pork".

But that day she happened to be eating the salt and pepper rolls made by Aunt Fu, and heard Aunt Fu talking to her about what kind of dumplings she wanted to eat during the Chinese New Year. So the two people called them Hanamaki and Dumplings. They accepted the name without any expression, but they could see that they were very happy to see the buns and steamed buns.

Dumpling is in charge of everything in Xiaoba's room and outside. He is a small general manager, such as helping the master to communicate with people everywhere (they don't have any in the house), or purchasing the items needed in the house (the prince will send someone to deliver them), Collect intelligence, mobilize subordinates, protect the master's safety (Xiaoba seems to have no use for it)...etc! !

Hanamaki is in charge of Xiaohachi's small warehouse. Xiaohachi doesn't even know that he has a warehouse, no, several rooms. In addition to the things Xiaoba received in the past three years according to the rules of the eldest palace maid (she collected the wages herself). From time to time, His Highness the Crown Prince would bring some good things here, so from the previous one room, it now has three large, two small and five rooms. Hanamaki is not only good at abacus, but also good at writing.

Baozi is in charge of all the food in Xiaoba's room. Of course, with such a master, there won't be much food left in the room. She and Grandma Dan learned good medicinal foods, and her own medical skills are also very good, the most powerful one is poisoning.

Steamed buns have great skills, such as embroidery, tailoring and making quilts, combing hair and makeup, skin care, dressing up, identifying jewelry, moving, sitting and lying, and behaving well. Anyway, there is nothing about a woman that she doesn’t know or don’t know. Will do. In other words, no one cares about these things in the last days, and Xiaoba doesn't understand either. If we were in a civilized society, then this person would be a proper fashion designer, stylist, teacher Tony, and personal image stylist. If you are in Ba Zong's article, you must be a senior life assistant with an annual salary of seven or more.

Xiaoba finished eating the spicy chicken feet and was touching the jar with his plate, hoping to get some more for himself while grandma was not in the room. Suddenly, she heard Aunt Fu calling her in the inner room. She was so startled that she quickly dodge to the corner farthest from the jar.

"Where's the person?" Aunt Fu came out of the inner room and didn't see Xiaoba where she was. When she turned around, she was stunned when she saw her standing in the corner, "Xiaoba, what are you standing there for? Come here quickly."

Aunt Fu came to ask Xiaoba to take a bath. It's such a cold day, but luckily there is a bathing pool in the dormitory of Yin'an Hall. Of course it's not a hot spring pool. There are so many hot springs in the palace for you to dig out and make baths. It's just a heated pool built using the method of building a floor dragon.

Under Xiaoba's strong request, the five people who originally wanted to help withdrew. Xiaoba took a bath by himself and it was delicious. The four maids all smelled the fragrance of flowers on Xiaoba. There were spices made from flowers in the pool, but they didn't have such a strong smell. If they smelled carefully, it seemed to be the smell of roses. Xiaoba didn't care about their surprised expressions, let alone explain to them what shampoo and shower gel was.

She was pulled by Aunt Fu to sit in front of the dressing table. Steamed Bun walked behind Xiaoba and wiped her hair with a cotton towel. Dumpling brought a small covered hot cage and dried the hair that Steamed Bun had wiped on it. Roasted finely.

When the four people gathered around, Xiaoba's body tightened slightly. She wanted to move, but she also knew that this was a necessary procedure to attend the banquet. And the prince also said that he would take her to eat delicious food tonight. What is a national banquet like? Xiaoba doesn't know that in the end of the world, if Taoism collapses, there will be no country left, only the forces from all sides gather together. Countless people die every day just for a bite to eat, and no one will hold a banquet to invite people to eat. The word banquet only exists in the stories Xiaoba heard. After coming here, banquets were often held in the palace, but Xiaoba was not curious. She had not eaten everything in the east palace dining room.

This time, it was Yan Sinian who wanted her to go, and told her that there were some dishes that she would not cook on weekdays but could only be eaten at this banquet, so she wanted to try them. Originally, according to her wish, she would wear the clothes of a palace maid and stand behind the prince's beauty. If there were good things, she would put them in the space, so that no one would notice and it would be convenient.

But Yan Sinian disagreed. He wanted her to appear openly in front of everyone. Of course, what Yan Sinian told her was to listen to her mother's words and dress up well so that she could serve it on the table.

So she didn't intend to resist, but when Aunt Fu wanted to put powder on her face, she sternly refused and refused to put on makeup.

Mainly because after applying this powder to my face, I felt like a mouse that fell into the noodle vat. She refused to put on makeup unless she was given a jar of fragrant chicken feet. Just as Xiaoba and Aunt Fu were bargaining, Rengu walked in.

During this period, three or four people on the line have asked Rengu about Xiaoba, so Yan Sinian directly asked him to follow Xiaoba today and go to the banquet together.

When the five of them saw Rengu coming in, they all subconsciously stopped joking, but Xiaoba was very happy to see his friend.

After Rengu heard about the differences between several people, he said that he could persuade Xiaoba to agree to put on makeup, but he had to have a few words with Xiaoba alone. Although Aunt Fu doesn't like this Rengu, she also knows that he is clever and may be able to persuade her. The main reason is that Xiaoba cannot suffer any loss when he is alone with anyone. So Aunt Fu pointed to the dumplings, the four of them and Xiaoba and said, "I'll take them to get their clothes. When we come back, this makeup must be put on." How could it not be done without makeup? Not to mention that it would embarrass the prince, just Xiaoba. I will also be laughed at by those women.

"Dumplings, take this one away." Aunt Fu was so angry that Xiaoba refused to put on makeup and wouldn't even let her take a photo of her, so she had the fragrant chicken feet taken away.

Just as Xiaoba was about to shout to stop, he was stopped by a look from Aunt Fu, "Eat after putting on makeup."

After the five of Aunt Fu and the others left the house, Ren Gu approached Xiao Ba, looked at the rouge gouache on the table, and said, "There was a hard powder lump among the things you gave me last time. I gave it to Sixth Brother, he said that the effect of applying it on the face is particularly good. It only makes the face white and no trace of powder. If you don’t have it anymore, I will go to Sixth Brother and get it back for you to use."

The last time Xiao Hachi saw An Jiu transforming into Rengu, she thought it was the effect of makeup, so she took a pack of cosmetics and wanted to learn from him. Unexpectedly, it was a thin mask, so she lost interest. The cosmetics were given to An Jiu.

Hearing An Jiu's reminder, she hurriedly took out a bunch of cosmetics from the space and piled half of the table, "But I don't know how to use these things!" Xiao Ba looked at An Jiu. An Jiu knows how to apply makeup, but he has only done it for himself. So he thought for a while and told Xiaoba that he had a way. I saw him placing the things on the table neatly one by one, then leaving the room, and after a while, he found the steamed buns back.

As soon as Mantou came in, he saw the things on the table and looked at Rengu beside him in surprise.

Ren Gu said: "These are all products from overseas. Your Highness specially asked me to send them here. You can see if they can be used." Ren Gu picked up a box of powder cake, dipped some of it in with the sponge that came with it, and wiped it on He showed the back of his hand to Mantou: "That's it. You can try the other uses later. Find a few things that can be used first, and put on your master's makeup first."

Seeing this, Mantou saw that Rengu had no objection to putting on makeup, so he walked over to study those things. He saw that most of those things were packed in glass-like bottles, and there were some strange things on them. Patterns and words she didn't recognize, but she had heard Rengu say they were from overseas before, so she didn't have too much doubt.

I saw her taking out a little bit of each item and trying it on her skin to compare the uses and effects. After a while, I picked out a few items. As expected of a professional, I guessed the usage of these things in a short time.

"Sister Xiaoba." The four of them, Mantou, are older than Xiaoba. According to the prince's wishes, they should call them master, but in any case, Xiaoba has no status yet. Calling him master in front of outsiders will easily lead to arrest. It was Xiaoba's mistake, so now they all call her Sister Xiaoba according to the rank of palace maid.

"Sister Xiaoba, these things are really good, but you still need Baozi to check them out before you can use them."

Xiaoba nodded without any objection.

Rengu said: "I'll call him."

Seeing that Rengu was about to go out, Xiaoba shouted: "Bring the jar back."

While several people were talking, Grandma Fu came back with three other people, followed by a few people carrying clothes racks. After the clothes are made, they cannot be folded for fear of wrinkles. They can only be placed on a shelf and covered with a layer of dust-proof cloth. When it is shipped over, the shelf can only be moved with the cloth in between. The thick hands made the silk skip, and a piece of clothing that had been embroidered by dozens of top embroiderers for more than a year was completely ruined.

Baozi carefully checked the items that Steamed Bun picked out and found nothing wrong. The four of them plus Aunt Fu started putting makeup on Xiaoba.

Hibiscus is not as good as beauty makeup, and the water palace wind comes with pearl and green fragrance.

Makeup can make people become more refined. Xiaoba was originally very beautiful, but she just didn't bloom. Now, through Mantou's skillful hands, her face seemed to have been cast by the magic of time, like a flower blooming little by little, If you don’t look at her petite figure and just look at this face, it’s really:

The beautiful eyes are like jade, and the eyebrows are like green flowers. Fresh skin is so moist, and the color is as good as food.

Mantou must have found the correct way to use eyebrow pencil or eyeliner, which made Xiaoba's already very smart big eyes add a touch of charm to the old charm. With one glance, he already had a faintly seductive aura.

Xiaoba touched his own face and was really surprised. It was the same effect when he saw adults putting on makeup.

Before putting on makeup, Mantou had already combed Xiaoba's hair. Xiaoba doesn't usually wear complicated hair styles. She only wears simple curls or a ponytail. But people here don't let people cut their hair. In the past three years, they have been well fed and raised well. In addition, the original owner's hair was not short. Her hair is now almost to the top of her thighs. You definitely won't be able to get your ponytail to fall off. She usually wears two curls.

Today, Aunt Fu asked Steamed Bun to comb a small curl on her head. After all, she is not old enough to wear a hairpin. There is a small roll on the top of the head, and a small two-color crown made of gold and silver inlaid with eight treasures. The hair that was loose at the bottom was gathered together and braided into nine braids. Each braid was braided with different gemstones and mixed together. The whole girl looks cute and smart, but also rich and powerful.

As soon as I put on the clothes prepared by Prince Yan Sinian, I heard someone outside reporting that His Highness's chariot was about to enter the East Palace. Aunt Fu told Xiaoba: "Today everything must be obeyed by His Highness. Don't act without permission and follow His Highness closely. We will also be celebrating the New Year in the East Palace tonight. You must be good and I will leave some food for you. There is braised pork made by Eunuch Ping." Spare ribs, Grandpa Qiang’s braised pork platter, Grandma Dan’s Buddha Jumps over the Wall, Eunuch Qian’s Garden of Spring, besides these, Eunuch Ping’s side has a queue of eighteen main dishes alone.”

Aunt Fu said that as long as Xiaoba goes out with the prince happily and comes back safely, she will leave food for Xiaoba. Xiaoba's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened to the names of the dishes announced by Grandma Fu, and his head kept clicking. The gold and silver flowers on the crown trembled as she nodded.

Xiaoba doesn't like these little things on her body. If it weren't for Grandma Fu's request and there were so many delicious things waiting for her, she wouldn't have worn them!
