C113 woe to ones feelings (1/2)
”Wait.” Although she knew that Du Jinse had done it on purpose, she had no choice but to follow her.
”Does the Empress have any other orders?” Du Jinse stood there respectfully, looking like she did not want to stay for even a moment longer.
”These are the masters of the harem, below the imperial concubine. Everyone has ten taels of silver each month, the imperial concubine and I have fifty, and the I has a hundred. This is your own token, take it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for money and hurry up to become a rouge water powder. Right, when will you be able to send the goods in?”
Du Jinse calculated roughly and was secretly happy.
”This cannot be rushed, although rouge water powder are not imported items, because they need to be used for a long period of time, if the materials chosen are not good, it will affect the body, the fastest would be seven days, and the slowest would be half a month, Empress, what do you think?”
Du Jinse then threw the difficult problem to her imperial concubine.
When the imperial concubine heard it, she hesitated for a moment and looked at the rouge that Du Jinse had just gifted her.
Seeing that, Du Jinse's eyes flashed.
”Empress's identity is noble, so you naturally have to use the best, especially the ginseng, the smallest must be the size of a palm, and that is something that can only be encountered by chance and not sought after, so it might take a bit longer. Fortunately, these can still last for around twenty days, I will try my best to use them before Noble Consort runs out, what does Noble Consort think?”
The imperial concubine thought about it and felt that this method wasn't bad. She was the imperial concubine, so she should have used it better than others.
”Well, as you say, Swallow.”
Swallow stepped forward.
The imperial concubine ordered, ”Go to my treasury, bring that palm-sized ginseng here, give it to Prince Mo's concubine.”
Imperial Consort's meaning could not be more obvious.
Didn't you say that ginseng is hard to find? I will give you a ginseng, you can't delay any longer right?
Du Jinse secretly sighed, in the end, it was still the imperial family.
”It would be better to obey than to be respectful. I thank Noble Consort.”
No matter what the reason was, she had to thank the Imperial Consort for her gift.
”I will send you to imperial study, in case King Mo and the others get anxious.” The Imperial Concubine laughed and held Du Jinse's hand.
Seeing that, Xiao Xiao hurriedly said: ”Noble Consort, it's better if I go.”
The imperial concubine was unwilling to let it go, she ordered Xiao Xiao, ”I still has some things that you need to tell Miss Mo Mo, don't follow me here.”
”But …”
Big Sister Mo Mo is her Big Sister Mo Mo.
The imperial concubine swept a glance over, shocking Xiao Xiao to the point that she swallowed the rest of her words.
She looked at Du Jinse worriedly.
The imperial concubine was after all, the mother of the Prince Qing's highness. Would she make things difficult for Du Jinse because of the recent trouble with the Prince Qing's highness?
Du Jinse gave her a look that said ”don't be impatient”.
Swallows sent over the ginseng, Du Jinse told An An to take it.
”Let's go.”
The imperial concubine once again pulled Du Jinse's hand.
Du Jinse was also muttering in her heart. Even if this imperial concubine really liked the makeup she made for her, she shouldn't be so nice to him.
Du Jinse naturally could not understand the grudge woman's thoughts. The imperial concubine was already used to her current appearance, after all, her son was already this old, and the entire harem was under her control. Even if she did not feel old, she would still have to dress herself in a solemn and composed manner.
