Upon hearing what Physician Peng said, Zhao Shu quickly covered her face with face powder and went to meet him, leaving Sun Yun feeling very depressed. However, after looking around and seeing that no one was talking to her, she took out face powder and covered her face like Zhao Shu, and followed him.

The old physician Peng found a relatively large stone, and as if retrieving a rare treasure, took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom. The bottle was not large, about the size of a teacup, and he handed it to Zhao Shu as if presenting a treasure, saying, "Princess, please take a look."

Zhao Shu took the porcelain bottle and slowly opened it. What came into view was a milky white paste that emitted a rich fragrance. "Wow, it smells so good, Princess. What is this?" Green Ivy, who had been following Zhao Shu closely, immediately asked as soon as she smelled the fragrance.

The old physician, Peng, stroked his beard with a smug grin, his mouth practically splitting into a wide grin. "Princess, is this the effect you desire?"

Zhao Shu nodded, feeling a sense of long-lost joy. She hadn't expected that the old doctor Peng could turn the prescription she gave her into a paste, almost like modern shampoo. She hadn't really held out much hope, thinking that with today's technology, it would be quite remarkable if it were at most an oil-based product.

"Mr. Peng, you're amazing! When the shop opens, you must take the lion's share." Zhao Shu held the small porcelain bottle as if it were a mountain of gold and silver, her eyes practically bulging with laughter.

When asked about shares, Physician Peng quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, the prescription belongs to the princess. I only did my bit and dare not accept the princess's shares."

"Wait a minute!" Sun Yun had just arrived when he smelled the rich fragrance and listened to the aroma. Not quite understanding, he interrupted, "A-Jun, what is this? Rouge?"

Zhao Shu and Physician Peng exchanged a glance and both laughed, their laughter quite mysterious. Sun Yun was completely bewildered and immediately protested, "Ah Jun!"

"I won't tell you." Zhao Shu decided to keep her in suspense. After saying that, she turned to Doctor Peng and said, "Doctor Peng, I have another prescription here. Could you see if it can also be made into a paste? By the way, I haven't yet asked Doctor Peng how he came up with the idea?"

Since obtaining the formula, Physician Peng had made little progress over the past few days. Today, he suddenly produced it. Something must have inspired him. Zhao Shu was very curious.

The old physician Peng seemed to have been waiting for Zhao Shu to ask this question. He smiled smugly and said, "A few days ago, I heard one of the princess's maids say that since it's autumn, one shouldn't eat too much double-skin milk. I thought that the only places where one could eat double-skin milk besides Cining Palace were Yongwang Mansion. So I shamelessly went and asked for a serving. After seeing that double-skin milk, I had an idea."

Zhao Shu: ...Mr. Peng, how can we enjoy eating double-skin milk pudding in the future if you have such an inspiration?

"By the way, where's that girl who makes double-skin milk pudding? Make me a serving. Wait, is that food too? Imperial Physician, you're actually researching food?" Sun Yun was quite annoyed by Zhao Shu and the old Imperial Physician Peng's secrecy.

Zhao Shu and Physician Peng exchanged another glance, and Zhao Shu smiled mysteriously again. "Physician Peng, I will write down the prescription later and have Green Ivy send it to you. Green Ivy, go and have Xing'er make some delicious food to send to Physician Peng. Physician Peng is a great contributor to our cause."

"Yes, this servant will go right away. Xing'er just said that she made some Lanxi Town flatbread for the princess and asked this servant to go and get it for her." Green Luo curtsied and left.

Physician Peng was still excited, but his greatest wish was to obtain Zhao Shu's prescriptions. Now that he heard there were more prescriptions, he was eager to try them.

Just then, the apprentice came over and called out, "Master, it's time to eat."

"I take my leave now, and await the princess's prescription." He cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and Zhao Shu quickly returned the courtesy to her, before he departed.

As soon as Physician Peng left, Sun Yun kept pestering Zhao Shu to ask if she could eat it.

"Are you a reincarnated hungry ghost? Where is the decorum of a noble lady? Let me ask you, do you want to wash your hair?" After using the Chinese herbal shampoo, Zhao Shu looked at Sun Yun's hair again and felt that although it was shiny and black with osmanthus oil and was not tangled, it was very greasy. Beautiful hair, beautiful hair, if it is not flowing and refreshing, how can it be called beautiful hair?

Furthermore, upon closer inspection, the ends of the hair also show branching.

Sun Yun straightened a strand of her black hair that was hanging down. "Then how do you find time to wash your hair? Every time I wash my hair, I have to prepare for a long time before I can wash it."

Zhao Shuyang waved the porcelain bottle in her hand, "If you're not going to wash it, I'll wash it myself." She waved and called over Xiao Guozi, who was waiting nearby, "Xiao Guozi, go prepare some hot water, a lot of it."

Now, several bonfires have been lit, and experienced servants have even made a few small stoves using materials found on the spot. As the food is being cooked, the stoves are empty; all that's needed is to clean the pots, add firewood and water, and hot water will come out quickly.

Xiao Guozi accepted the order and went down to instruct several servants from the Yongwang Mansion to boil water for Zhao Shu. Just then, Huo Danlan sent Xique over to call Zhao Shu and Sun Yun to have their meal.

The Empress Dowager still refuses to reconcile with Zhao Shu, does not allow her to pay her respects, and does not serve her meals. When she is out, with Sun Yun present, Huo Danlan eats her medicinal meals in the carriage by herself, and does not stay with Zhao Shu.

However, she still made sure to have Magpie call Zhao Shu to eat at mealtimes every day. Sun Yun was amazed by this and would always come up to Zhao Shu and say, "Look how good Aunt Huo is to you. She must think you are a great sister-in-law for her. Otherwise, why would she be so good to you for no reason?"

Zhao Shu was too lazy to argue with Sun Yun about this issue. The line of noble ladies who wanted to become Huo family wives stretched from Jiangnan all the way to Northeast China.

However, she found it strange that Huo Danlan was kind to her, but since Huo Danlan didn't say anything, she didn't plan to ask. She would silently remember the kindness others showed her and be kind to them in return.

She does have a grateful heart.

After finishing her meal, Zhao Shu wrote down a prescription and asked Green Ivy to deliver it to Physician Peng. Then she found a place with a huge rock to hide her hair and began to wash it. Chu Chun and the others surrounded her with a cloth to create a small area so that no one could see Zhao Shu with her hair disheveled.
