I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

The concept of nude makeup basically does not exist at this time. What women want these days is makeup. The nobles use rice powder, and the common people use lead powder. They can't wait to paint their faces like walls.

What Liu Tan told Liu Che that Chen Ajiao couldn't even afford rouge and gouache was of course not on a whim, but because of his anger with Chen Ajiao.

So he sneaked back just now. On the one hand, he didn't want to stand there and listen to Liu Che's nonsense with the ministers, and on the other hand, he wanted to see the situation on Chen Ajiao's side.

When he got here, Chen Ajiao was putting on her makeup again—after all, it was hot, and the queen's full dress was on the battlefield, even if there was an ice basin in the Jiaofang Palace, it couldn't stop her sweating.

Seeing this scene, Liu Tan immediately stopped the maids who wanted to touch up Chen Ajiao's makeup. After looking carefully, he said, "Just put on a little powder, and you don't need rouge and lipstick."

Straight men judge whether a woman wears makeup by looking at whether she wears lipstick. Although this matter is not absolute, it is true for most straight men.

So Chen Ajiao still put on makeup, but the powder is not thick, just a thin layer, it looks like she didn't wear it, but her eyebrows are carefully sculpted, and she is still beautiful, but because she didn't use rouge and lipstick, her complexion didn't look so good Well, it looks a little haggard.

So in Liu Che's eyes, it was a tired beauty waiting for him.

Chen Ajiao was not used to it at first, but she was used to domineering people, so she naturally wanted to turn into the most gorgeous one in the audience with makeup, and she was very unaccustomed to such a light and elegant makeup.

But it seems to work out pretty well.

At least it was rare for Liu Che not to quarrel with her.

Chen Ajiao was in a good mood, she didn't say anything even though she knew that Mrs. Zhao had followed her back.

Originally, she wanted to arrange Mrs. Zhao to the Gouyi Palace, but after Mrs. Zhao was named the Empress Dowager of Qi, the Gouyi Palace no longer belonged to her. Although there is no new Mrs. Gouyi now, that palace has already been established. It is no longer called Gouyi Palace.

Now that the Zhao family has returned, Liu Che didn't say what title to give her, so it would be inappropriate for her to live in the Gouyi Palace.

Chen Ajiao thought about it, and it was rare and generous to arrange Zhao's family in another palace, which was the closest palace to Weiyang Palace besides Jiaofang Palace.

Chen Ajiao's arrangement surprised everyone, even Liu Che.

Liu Che hurried to Chen Ajiao's place and said, "What did you put her there for?"

Chen Ajiao raised her eyebrows and asked: "What? Are you not happy about this? Do you want her to live in Weiyang Palace?"

Liu Che stared at Chen Ajiao, and always felt that this tone was very familiar. After thinking about it... Well, isn't this the tone that his young son who has stiff wings has often used recently?

So even if it's not your own, it can be so similar?

Liu Che sat down directly and said, "Place her wherever you want, I don't want to see her."

Chen Ajiao looked surprised: "Is the sun coming out from the west today?"

Chen Ajiao originally thought that Liu Che brought Mrs. Zhao back because Mrs. Zhao served her well and he was soft-hearted, didn't she?

Liu Che snorted and said nothing, Chen Ajiao said, "If you say that, I'll put her in Wuyuan Pavilion."

Liu Che waved his hand: "As you wish."

Chen Ajiao was completely startled. Wuyuan Pavilion is not very good when you hear the name, and it is true in fact. It is a cold palace in a broad sense. Of course, this cold palace is not dedicated to detaining unfavored concubines.

In Liu Che's case, to be unfavored is to ignore it at most. If there is really something wrong, Liu Che will not keep that person's life.

Wuyuan Pavilion is located in the most remote place of Weiyang Palace, generally throwing people there means letting her fend for herself.

But since Liu Che agreed, Chen Ajiao asked someone to ask Mrs. Zhao to live in another place without saying a word. Of course, the issue of Mrs. Zhao's status was not mentioned.

Originally, according to the convention, even if Mrs. Zhao did not become the Queen Mother of Zhongshan, she would still be Jieyu after she came back—that is, her previous position. Now that Liu Che didn't say anything, Mrs. Zhao could only be a member of Palace Zhao.

If Zhao Gongren met the legendary virtuous queen, they might open their mouths to Liu Che for her once, even if they didn't say anything, they would give it to her according to Jieyu's example.

It's a pity that she met Chen Ajiao. Even if she was reborn, Chen Ajiao would be happy with her life's grievances. If there is any revenge, she will report it on the spot. Even if she can't report it on the spot, it will not be delayed until the third day, unless she is really unable to retaliate.

Chen Ajiao didn't plan to kill Zhao Gongren now, it was to save face for Liu Che, and she didn't want to hold her son back.

This time, her son's efforts to turn the tide will definitely shine, and he can gain a lot of points. Even though Liu Che has no intention of not waiting to see Liu Shi, it doesn't matter, she can still wait.

Liu Che's coming here was just a routine question about what happened before.

He already knew what happened at that time from many aspects, especially after Liu Tan came. However, before Liu Tan came, he didn't intend to just listen to what the ministers said.

After all, he forced his family to sell Zhi Zetian for food and grass for the army, but Liu Che remembered it. Presumably those ministers knew very well that he would know, so even if he didn't say it explicitly, he would openly and secretly do it for himself or his own during the performance. Partisans excused.

Is Liu Che such a talkative person?

He didn't have a seizure at the time because he wasn't sure who was involved in it.

Liu Shi did arrest a lot of people, but in Liu Che's view, those people he arrested were too superficial, and he didn't move many people who had problems at first sight.

However, Liu Che could barely understand the elder son—those people were veterans and henchmen, and if any problems were found out, it might shake the foundation of the country.

Liu Ju didn't do anything yet, and Liu Quyu was planning to rebel. With the energy of internal and external troubles at that time, if he really attacked too hard, I'm afraid the big man would really be overthrown.

But Liu Che doesn't need to care about these things anymore, he has long wanted to change the blood of the court, and he has been tolerating Liu Quyao before to wait for the new force to reach a certain level.

So before Liu Tan came here, it must be Chen Ajiao's statement that is more credible.

Chen Ajiao got angry when she mentioned this, and when she said it, she almost wished that Liu Quyu would be brought in front of her and executed in a hurry.

Liu Che couldn't help laughing seeing her looking like she wanted to wipe out all the civil and military forces in the court, but he did have an idea in his heart.

After Liu Che left Jiaofangdian, he turned around and called Liu Ju over to prepare to do something. First of all, he had to deal with those people who had rebelled before.

Du Zhou finally found his place to use his skills this time. Pity him as a court officer. Since the king of the northern border arrived, his task is to arrest people. He didn't need to search for someone based on those clues to catch them. Behind the scenes.

However, he was not stupid. After analyzing for a long time, he always felt that based on the situation at that time, the king of the northern border should not have any particularly strong evidence to prove that Liu Quyu was behind the scenes.

It's just that he didn't mention this matter, but began to hand over various closing documents dutifully.

After Du Zhou gave the things to Liu Che, after thinking for a long time, he decided to send someone to inform the King of the Northern Territory—according to the emperor's habit, he should not read the confession documents and the like, usually just to see the results, but what if? ?

Although he tried to cover it up for Liu Tan, some things really couldn't stand scrutiny.

Du Zhou ran to the mansion of the King of the Northern Territory in Chang'an, but unexpectedly, the King of the Northern Territory lived in the palace after he came back. Fortunately, Liu Tan has always left a man here to watch the house, either Bi Gao or Miao Rui, Du Zhou also knows They knew that these two were Liu Tan's confidantes, so they told the matter again.

Liu Tan soon found out about the news. He thought for a while and raised his hand to push a box over: "You can find someone to send this box of pearls over, and say it's a special product brought from the Jiaozhi Kingdom."

Miao Rui quickly took the order and left. After he left, Liu Tan continued to worry about the large box of pearls in front of him.

He spent too much money before, and bought too many pearls. When he came back, he asked Chen Ajiao to pick out some of them to make jewelry, and then sent some to Mrs. Wei—this is to thank Mrs. Wei for her charity at the beginning. With this excuse, it's not good for Liu Tan to send things to his father's harem, even if he is old enough to be his mother.

Then Princess Lichang and Princess Yang Xinchang set aside some for officials of the northern border country.

As for Liu Zheng... Liu Zheng's back house was taken care of by himself, and he bought a lot anyway.

As a result, after all this tossing, there are still many pearls left in his hands.

Well, other people's pearls are counted by pearls, but he directly counts them with a box, and it is a very big box.

Liu Tan's intentions were originally given to Chen Ajiao, but Chen Ajiao felt sorry for him and refused to accept him no matter what, so she let him take him to the northern border country, even if she started to sell it with her subordinates, she could make a lot of money.

But the problem is that Liu Tan doesn't need to do this kind of buying and selling to make money at all.

So now he has to find a place for these pearls and consume them directly.

Anyway, when the big man builds a port city in Jiaozhi in the future, there will be no shortage of pearls, no matter how much you want.

How to consume these pearls has become the most important thing for Liu Tan now. As for what Du Zhou came to report, it is nothing to him at all.

So he began to rack his brains and began to think about what are the cultural relics related to pearls that he saw in later generations?

However, after much deliberation... it seems that most of them are jewelry.

But the problem is that Chen Ajiao has already ordered people to make jewelry.

Liu Tan thought about it for a long time, and finally took the table and said: "Find me some craftsmen who can string beads. I want them to make two things."

These two things are pearl shawls. Liu Tan has an impression of pearl shawls. I remember that he has seen them in several costume dramas in later generations. Just follow that. Of course, pure pearls are definitely not enough. A few other accessories that would otherwise not look good.

What Liu Tan used to match was red agate and some broken evil gold.

But it doesn't take many pearls to make a pearl shawl.

Liu Tan looked at the remaining pearls and thought for a while and said, "This is not exhausting, so it seems that I can only use it. Miao Rui, find someone to help me grind these pearls into powder."

Miao Rui was very distressed when she heard it, and asked cautiously: "Your Highness, what do you want pearl powder for?"
