Chapter 683: One Person, One Purple Jade
Su Yao took out the things she needed from the box.
He also took out a lot of samples that he had made before and said, "Madam, which style do you like?"
The queen glanced at the inscription on the card and said, "I don't really know much about this. I think Anping must have extraordinary skills to bring you here."
Su Yao glanced at the flowers blooming around her.
Although modern people think that having flowers on the head or body is tacky, people at that time really appreciated flowers.
Feel rich.
For example, the sales of Shengshi Fanhua’s velvet flowers have always been good, and this is the reason.
"Your Majesty, do you like peonies very much?"
The Queen nodded: "Well, how did you know?"
Su Yao smiled and said, "Looking at the many peonies planted in this yard, I guess the queen likes peonies very much!"
The queen smiled knowingly, she was someone who could read people's expressions.
Su Yao continued, "Then I will design a unique style for you based on the theme of peony."
The Queen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Su Yao took out a cushion and put it on the table: "My lady, put your hands up."
"Okay." The queen did as she was told.
Su Yao took out all the things she needed and laid them out one by one.
She planned to make a peony relief, but she couldn't do it on every finger as that would be too complicated. Also, the peonies on the nails were not big, so that would require a lot of skill.
Su Yao glanced at the Queen's clothes: "Are the Queen's clothes usually dark?"
The Queen glanced at her clothes and nodded: "Yes, yes."
"it is good."
The queen laughed and said, "How can a manicure be related to one's clothes?"
Shen Xia added, "Yes! Women's clothes and jewelry are all about matching, and of course their nails should also be based on their usual outfits."
"Well, that makes sense." The Queen nodded.
Su Yao originally wanted to make a refreshing color for the Empress because it was summer, but now it seems that she still has to go with a dark color.
Just use bright red as the base color. In this palace, bright red is the symbol of the queen.
No one else can use it.
The peony is pink. The thumb and middle finger of the left hand have big flowers, and the index finger has small flowers. The index finger and ring finger of the right hand have flowers, the middle finger has a diamond, and the ring finger has some embellishments.
Su Yao knew what was going on.
When Shen Xia heard Su Yao talking about the flower shapes of peonies, her first reaction was how long would it take to sit there?
Although I had a pregnant friend who couldn't sit still for an hour normally, she could sit still for four hours playing mahjong.
But this is not playing mahjong!
Just like that, Su Yao was doing her nails very seriously, while Shen Xia was chatting with the Queen about parents.
After a while, a boy came over.
She is somewhat similar to the Queen.
This should be the second prince, born to the queen.
He does look a bit similar to Xiaotian.
Shen Xia saw him coming.
He stood up and saluted, and Su Yao also planned to stand up when she saw this.
"I've met the second prince."
The second prince nodded: "You guys get busy!"
Shen Xia and Su Yao just sat down.
The Queen looked at the sweat on the Second Prince's forehead and asked: "Why are you sweating so much from running?"
As he spoke, he used his other free hand to wipe the sweat off the Second Prince's face.
The second prince smiled and said, "It's okay, it won't be hot in a while. I just finished riding and shooting, and I missed my mother, so I came to see her."
Shen Xia looked at the queen's kind face.
I immediately thought of Xiaotian’s face.
"Mother, what are you doing?" The second prince looked at the queen's hand curiously.
The Queen smiled and said, "Mother, I saw that Anping's nail polish was very beautiful and wanted to make one."
"Oh."
The second prince sat here for a while and then left.
After leaving, Shen Xia smiled and said, "Your Majesty is very beautiful, and the Second Prince is also very good-looking. You should have two more children to pass on the good looks. Why did Your Majesty only have one?"
The queen smiled and said, "No, Yuheng had a brother, but he died young due to illness."
Shen Xia quickly apologized: "Anping is offended, please don't blame me, Your Majesty."
Perhaps she was thinking of something, the Queen was in low spirits: "It's okay, it's been so many years, I'm afraid Yu Zhi has been reincarnated!"
Shen Xia listened to the Queen Mother talking about what happened back then.
The eldest prince contracted a strange disease and died soon after.
The queen still feels extremely uncomfortable when she thinks about it now.
Shen Xia comforted her, "Your Majesty, you are kind-hearted. The eldest prince will surely be reborn into a good family."
That was all Shen Xia could say.
Finally, a little more than an hour passed.
Su Yao finished the final sealing layer: "OK."
Just when I was halfway through, I saw that Su Yao had made a peony so lifelike that it had already surprised the people around her.
Finally finished everything.
After the sealing layer, the glossiness is stronger.
The Queen looked at the lifelike peony and the dazzling gem in her hands.
The smile on his face never faded: "Miss Su's cooking skills are simply amazing!"
Su Yao smiled and said, "Your Highness, that's great. It's mainly because your hands are beautiful. Even if it's the same style, it won't look so good on other people's hands."
The queen looked at both hands and nodded: "They are very beautiful, but how long can they last?"
She suddenly remembered that her nails had to grow longer.
"It only lasts for a month. After it grows back, it has to be redone. But you can't keep doing your nails all the time. You still have to rest for a few days."
The queen listened quietly: "Okay."
Shen Xia smiled and said, "Your Majesty needs to take off your armor, just send someone to tell Anping."
"Well, it's so beautifully done, I just can't put it down."
After saying that, she looked at the nanny next to her and said, "Go and get the pair of purple jadeite from the box on the right side of my dressing table."
Mammy nodded: "As you wish."
After giving the order, the queen looked at the two of them and said, "It just so happens that I have a pair of purple jadeite. Seeing that you two have a good relationship, it's just right for each of you to get one."
After hearing this, Su Yao and Shen Xia said in unison: "Thank you, Madam, for the reward."
The two received their rewards and left the palace.
Originally, the queen wanted to keep some food for Shen Xia, but she refused.
Before leaving, the queen was very considerate and arranged a sedan chair for her.
But when he came out, he actually met Madam Qin at the palace gate.
Of course no one paid any attention to anyone else!
Out of the palace, in the carriage.
Each of them wore a valuable purple jade bracelet on their hands.
Only then did the two of them have time to appreciate it.
Shen Xia smiled and said, "I am just taking advantage of A Yao."
Su Yao smiled and said, "Without Xia Xia's materials, my skills are useless."
"Hehe...we are making a fortune." Shen Xia said with a smile.
Su Yao nodded and agreed, "Yes! This style costs less than ten taels in the store, not even enough for this bracelet. Take more work in the palace next time."
The lowest price for these manicures is one or two taels of silver.
Of course, the highest is only ten taels of silver.
The main thing is that this thing won’t last long.
Shen Xia laughed after hearing Su Yao's words: "Don't, everyone in this palace is a shrewd person, and the imperial concubine is eyeing you covetously. Besides, this is not a society ruled by law. If you are not careful, you will lose your head. It's better to be outside the palace."
