On the way, Eunuch Shou quietly observed her every move.
Mu Nanjin had a stern face from beginning to end, and it was hard to guess what she was thinking, but judging from her brisk steps, she didn't seem afraid of meeting the Queen Mother at all.
"arrive."
Eunuch Shou stopped outside Yongshou Palace and said, "Guard Mu, please wait here for a moment. I will go in and report."
Mu Nanjin nodded.
Eunuch Shou walked into the palace with his head lowered.
Princess Xueyu, who was rubbing the queen mother's temple, asked hurriedly, "Is she here?"
Eunuch Shou smiled and replied, "The Empress Dowager invited her to come, so she dared not disobey."
Princess Xueyu smiled with satisfaction: "Let her wait outside. I will let her in only when I am satisfied."
Eunuch Shou looked at the Queen Mother.
He was the Queen Mother's man and only obeyed her will.
The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes, but before she could speak, she heard a woman's voice coming from outside.
【When the Queen Mother was young, she was a farm child among the poor people and experienced the hardships of the people's lives. After marrying the previous emperor, she fought in many battles and witnessed many soldiers die in the hands of the enemy. The meritorious officials who survived had gone through life and death, so she respected the meritorious officials very much and treated the court officials and servants around her very kindly. She knew that everyone had a hard time, so as long as her bottom line was not stepped on, she would be approachable to everyone and would not punish anyone at will. Princess Xueyu, who had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, asked the Queen Mother for help because she knew the character of the Queen Mother. So she didn't want to punish me too severely, but she didn't want me to have an easy life, so she used the woman the Emperor respected the most to scare me. Otherwise, she would have asked the Queen to punish me long ago. 】
[After all, the queen was born into a noble family that values formalities and etiquette, and does not allow anyone to be disrespectful to the royal family. If they knew someone was humiliating the princess, they would definitely punish the person.]
[Since Princess Xueyu is not really punishing me, should I pretend to be scared so that she thinks I am scared by her? But what if I can't pretend? It's so difficult. ]
[By the way, I can pretend to use the Jade Face Pill to apologize to Princess Xueyu. After they use the Jade Face Pill and know its benefits, they will spend a lot of money to buy it from me. Hehe, this sales method is good. I will be able to make a lot of money in the future.]
"hehe."
The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing: "What a wonderful person."
When I heard Mu Nanjin's voice more than half a month ago, I just felt it was magical. I haven't seen her since then and I haven't had any other thoughts. Now I finally understand why the emperor kept her by his side.
Life becomes more interesting because of her presence.
Princess Xueyu was puzzled: "Grandmother, what are you laughing at?"
The Queen Mother shook her head, put away her smile and said, "Just let her wait a little longer as you wish."
Outside the hall, Mu Nanjin saw that Eunuch Shou had not come out yet, so she guessed that the Empress Dowager and the others had deliberately asked her to wait outside until they called her, so she leaned against the pillar next to her and dozed off.
Upon seeing this, the palace maid guarding the palace gate immediately went inside to report.
When Princess Xueyu heard that Mu Nanjin had fallen asleep outside, she ran out in a rage.
"Mu Nanjin, how can you sleep when you are meeting the Queen Mother?"
Mu Nanjin was not asleep. He opened his eyes immediately after hearing Princess Xueyu's voice: "Sorry, I fell asleep because I was too scared."
Princess Xueyu was so angry that her lungs were about to explode: "Who would be so scared that they would fall asleep?"
"That's me."
"you……"
"Xueyu, let her in." The Queen Mother's voice came from the hall.
Princess Xueyu glared at Mu Nanjin angrily: "Grandmother Royal wants you to come in."
Mu Nanjin walked into the hall and saw the kind-looking Empress Dowager sitting dignifiedly on the phoenix chair. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager deliberately put on a stern face and asked, "Do you know why I summoned you to Yongshou Palace?"
"I know." Mu Nanjin took out a jade bottle without saying anything more: "This is an apology to Princess Xueyu."
Princess Xueyu took the jade bottle curiously: "What is this?"
"Jade Face Pill."
"If Princess Xueyu eats it, her skin will become softer and whiter, as delicate as a baby's. If the Queen Mother eats it, her wrinkles and gray hair will be reduced, and she will look like a 30-year-old again."
Princess Xueyu's eyes lit up: "Is it really so effective?"
The Queen Mother was also moved.
She is also a woman, so of course she wants to stay young forever and never grow old.
But her wrinkles and white hair are increasing day by day, and cannot be hidden no matter how hard she tries to cover them up.
[The effect of the elixir I refine will definitely surprise you. ]
Mu Nanjin nodded: "Princess, you can try one to find out whether it is real or not."
Princess Xueyu didn't believe her: "What if you gave me poison?"
Mu Nanjin asked her back: "I have no grudge against the princess, why would I risk the lives of my entire family to poison her?"
Princess Xueyu thought about it and asked: "Where did you get the elixir?"
"I can't say."
It is normal not to tell others about such a miraculous medicine.
"I am quite satisfied with your apology. Please don't be so rude to me next time. Okay, you can leave now."
Princess Xueyu couldn't wait to try the medicine.
"I'll take my leave." Mu Nanjin tactfully left the hall.
Princess Xueyu immediately took the small bottle and came to the Queen Mother: "Grandmother, do you think her Jade Face Pill is real or fake?"
"It should be true." The Queen Mother could tell from Mu Nanjin's inner voice that she had not lied to them, nor was there any need to lie to them.
However, she was still not very reassured, and ordered Eunuch Shou: "Go and invite the court envoy over quickly."
"yes."
Eunuch Shou left quickly and brought back the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau half an hour later.
Without waiting for the court envoy to salute, Princess Xueyu immediately asked him to identify the elixir: "Court envoy, please check whether this medicine is poisonous or not?"
"Yes." The envoy took the pill and sniffed it carefully. After half a quarter of an hour, he put it down and said, "I smell five kinds of herbs that are good for the skin. The remaining herbs are mixed with other herbs and cannot be identified by their smell, but it is certain that they are not poisonous."
Princess Xueyu asked again: "Then do you know what this pill does?"
The envoy did not dare to answer her immediately: "May I ask what medicine this is?"
"Jade Face Pill."
"Jade Face Pill?" The envoy shook his head and said, "I have never heard of it. I don't know what kind of medicine it is."
The Queen Mother saw that he really didn't know and waved her hand for him to leave.
Princess Xueyu said anxiously, "Grandmother, what should we do if the envoy doesn't know the effect of the elixir?"
The Queen Mother thought of Mu Nanjin's thoughts and murmured, "Take the elixir to the Imperial Master for identification. If the Imperial Master doesn't know either, find someone else to taste it."
There were three pills in Mu Nanjin's bottle, so she could find someone to try one. If there was no problem, she and Xueyu could each take one.
"I'll go find the imperial advisor." Princess Xueyu was so happy at the thought of meeting Feng Sinan that she ran out of Yongshou Palace without waiting for the empress dowager's consent.
The Queen Mother shook her head helplessly.
At the same time, Mu Nanjin, who had already returned to the Duwei Mansion, suddenly stopped and scratched his head: "I always feel like I forgot something, but I can't remember what it is. What is it? Why can't I remember it? Forget it, I won't think about it anymore."
