"I'll show you when I'm done!" Qin Yun patted her neck, stretching her body. "For the next few days, don't disturb me if you have nothing else to do! Qingshan, go find the purple snow lotus and withered fruit grass. Hong Fu, stay and protect!"
"Yes, Master!"
For the next two days, Qin Yun worked day and night!
When she needed help, she asked Hong Fu to lend a hand, and when she had nothing else to do, she confined herself in her room, busy with her work!
Hong Fu was puzzled. Master was tinkering with medicinal herbs again.
What treasure was she preparing to make this time?
Time passed quickly!
Two days later!
Qin Yun, exhausted, fell asleep!
When she woke up again, it was already the next morning!
Get up!
After washing up, Qin Yun picked up the凝露膏 (Ninglu Gao) from the table and examined it carefully!
This was the fruit of her two days of labor!
Confirming that there were no problems, she nodded in satisfaction!
There were over twenty bottles of 凝露膏 (Ninglu Gao). This quantity was far from enough!
But it could at least sell for a good price and resolve their current financial crisis!
"Master, are you up? May I come in?" Hong Fu's voice sounded from outside the door!
"Come in!"
Upon entering the room!
Hong Fu looked at Qin Yun's handiwork with confusion. "Master, what are these medicines?"
"These are my newly made 凝露膏 (Ninglu Gao). It can be used by those with dull, rough skin, and minor scars. You'll see results in two days after using it!"
"Then, Master, is the 焕颜膏 (Huanyao Gao) you gave me before the same as this?" Hong Fu took out the bottle of 焕颜膏 (Huanyao Gao), feeling happy inside. It was precisely because of this treasure that the scars on her face had completely healed!
Now that the 焕颜膏 (Huanyao Gao) was used up, she was reluctant to even throw away the bottle!
Qin Yun smiled. "This 凝露膏 (Ninglu Gao) is different from the 焕颜膏 (Huanyao Gao) you used. That bottle of 焕颜膏 (Huanyao Gao) cost me a lot of precious medicinal ingredients, otherwise, with such terrifying scars on your face, how could they have healed so quickly!"
"Master is so thoughtful, I am immensely grateful!"
Qin Yun nodded with satisfaction. "This 凝露膏 (Ninglu Gao) is also a top-tier beauty product. Due to limited ingredients, this is all I could make, but it's enough!"
"Master, are you planning to sell these 凝露膏 (Ninglu Gao)?"
Seeing how many Qin Yun had made, Hong Fu guessed that these treasures were meant to earn money!
"We don't have much money now, so naturally, we need to earn some to get things done! Only with money will we have enough confidence to reclaim everything in the Qin Manor!"
Taking a few bottles of 凝露膏 (Ninglu Gao) with her, Qin Yun soon returned to the academy!
Since ancient times, it has been easiest to earn money from women!
Especially the older women in the palace! They loved to maintain their appearance the most!
Thinking this way... she had to find a way to get this 凝露膏 (Ninglu Gao) into the palace!
Upon returning to the academy, Qin Yun pondered... how to promote the 凝露膏 (Ninglu Gao)?
She was extremely confident in the 凝露膏 (Ninglu Gao) she had made!
However, she lacked a breakthrough point for promotion!
With her mind preoccupied, Qin Yun walked aimlessly within the academy!
Because she was lost in thought!
She didn't pay attention to where she was going and bumped into something!
"Bump!" She collided with a sturdy chest!
"Ah, it hurts so much!" Qin Yun touched her forehead, groaning in pain.
Looking up!
She saw Xie Jing'an looking down at her with a look of utter foolishness!
"Are you throwing yourself at this prince? Too bad this prince doesn't like men!"
Birds of a feather flock together, this man deserved a beating!
Wait a moment!
Doesn't Xie Jing'an live in the palace?
This person lived with all those consorts since childhood!
It seemed like finding him was the right move!
Qin Yun, who was about to get angry, turned her sorrow into a smile at this moment!
"Second Prince, are you hurt?" Qin Yun asked with a sweet smile, looking at Xie Jing'an with concern!
Xie Jing'an's face darkened. "Qin Yun, what are you trying to do? Do you have an ulterior motive?"
Yes, she did have a motive!
"Second Prince, have you been to the stables again recently? Look... your skin is so rough, it's simply terrible!"
"What's wrong with a man having rough skin? That's what a man is like. Look at you... with your fair and tender skin, you have no masculinity at all! You sissy!" Xie Jing'an glanced at Qin Yun with disdain, crossed his arms, and arrogantly raised his chin!
"Is that so? But if a girl's skin is rough, she might not like it because she'll think it's too coarse. After all, girls prefer handsome and elegant young men!"
Qin Yun touched her chin and continued, "Look, Second Prince... your face has also darkened considerably, and your skin is terribly poor. If you meet a woman you like, she probably won't like you in your current state!"
Speaking of a woman he liked, Xie Jing'an's heart softened!
He silently wondered, was his skin really that bad recently?
Next time he met that beautiful girl, he must leave a good impression!
Although he thought this way, he wouldn't admit it verbally. "This prince is handsome and extraordinary, and even with darker skin, I'm still handsome! There are plenty of girls who want to marry this prince, but I don't fancy those common girls!"
"Yes, yes, yes, everything the Second Prince says is right, but those women married you for your status, not your handsome appearance!"
Qin Yun said earnestly, "Second Prince, have you ever thought that if you met a girl you liked one day, and she didn't seek any status, only sought to be with you, do you think your current appearance could keep that woman?"
Xie Jing'an was displeased upon hearing this. "What's wrong with this prince's appearance? Why can't she like me?"
Qin Yun took a step back and changed her expression. "Second Prince, do you want me to tell the truth or a lie?"
"Naturally, the truth!"
Qin Yun frowned. "Then if I tell you, Second Prince, you must not get angry!"
"I absolutely won't get angry!" Xie Jing'an promised, patting his chest.
Qin Yun smiled inwardly. This guy had taken the bait!
"Second Prince, actually... actually..." Qin Yun put on a hesitant expression, as if it was difficult to speak!
"Actually what? Just say it all at once!"
"Actually, Second Prince, you're not that good-looking. It's just that the outside world, due to your status, has spread rumors and pretended to flatter you!"
"Qin Yun?" Xie Jing'an felt his dignity was threatened!
"Second Prince, you promised not to get angry!" The scene changed abruptly, and Qin Yun quickly said, "This is for you, Second Prince. Didn't you say I have fair and tender skin? It's because I used this 凝露膏 (Ninglu Gao) that my skin is so good!" Qin Yun handed a bottle of 凝露膏 (Ninglu Gao) to Xie Jing'an!
Xie Jing'an frowned, looking at the 凝露膏 (Ninglu Gao), unsure of what to do!
Should he take it or not?
Seeing Xie Jing'an's hesitation, Qin Yun forced the 凝露膏 (Ninglu Gao) into his hand!
"I remember Second Prince has a kind and amiable Consort Li. I'll give you one more bottle. Take one for Consort Li!"
Xie Jing'an felt awkward!
Was Qin Yun thinking of him so much?
Why did it feel wrong?
"Are you trying to sell this 凝露膏 (Ninglu Gao) to this prince?" Xie Jing'an asked doubtfully.
Qin Yun smiled sheepishly. "Where is Second Prince's mind going? This is a gift for Second Prince. If Second Prince uses it well, I'll be relieved. If Second Prince doesn't like it... you can give it to other consorts in the palace!"
