Chapter 450: Xiao Ying sells pills and steals the spotlight from the imperial concubine
"Since everyone wants to know, I won't keep it secret."
Xiao Ying began to talk nonsense seriously. They came here with a purpose today.
Since the imperial concubine personally gave her this opportunity, she certainly would not miss it.
"The fact that I look so young is actually due to two pills."
She paused here and looked at several noble ladies who had attended her family recognition banquet and had a good relationship with Ning Leshu.
"Ladies, you should have noticed something. My mother has looked a lot younger recently. Are you all curious?"
The eyes of those noble ladies suddenly lit up and they nodded repeatedly.
They had asked Ning Leshu that day, but Ning Leshu always avoided the question and kept his mouth shut, not revealing anything.
Because of this incident, some people had conflicts with Ning Leshu, feeling that she disregarded sisterly love.
Now, suddenly hearing Princess Yingfeng mention it, could it be that Princess Yingfeng knows about this and is willing to tell them?
"Princess, what are the two pills you mentioned? Did your mother become young and beautiful because of taking these two pills?"
One of the ladies couldn't help but ask.
The others all looked at her, including the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Shu, all with expressions of disbelief.
Could it be that what Princess Yingfeng said was true? Did the wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan also become younger?
At this point, even those who were originally just watching the fun or laughing at the joke couldn't help themselves.
They all thought that Princess Yingfeng couldn't stand the imperial concubine's ridicule and teasing, so she deliberately made up a lie, but now it seems that this is really the case.
Xiao Ying looked at this great assist with approval.
"Mrs. Liu is right. My mother became ten years younger after taking these two pills."
hiss……
There was a sudden gasp at the scene.
The wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan actually looks ten years younger? How is that possible!
But when they saw Xiao Ying's face, which looked more than ten years younger than her actual age, they had to believe it!
Is there really some magic drug in this world that can make you younger?
Then the noble lady surnamed Liu could not wait to ask curiously.
"Princess, I wonder what the two pills you mentioned are? Could you tell me?"
"I asked your mother that day, but she remained tight-lipped and showed no regard for our sisterhood."
After hearing her words, everyone believed even more that what Xiao Ying said was true, and they all stared at Xiao Ying without blinking.
What woman doesn't love beauty? What woman doesn't want to be younger and prettier? Especially these wealthy, elderly ladies.
Xiao Ying smiled warmly: "Madam Liu, you are wrongly blaming my mother. It's not that my mother doesn't want to say it, it's that I don't let her say it."
"Although I made this pill, the ingredients are hard to find and I don't have much on hand, so I wanted to keep it for my family."
"If the Imperial Concubine hadn't asked me in person today, I wouldn't have said it."
Everyone suddenly realized that this pill must be very precious and rare.
If they have it in their hands, they will not tell others easily.
Mrs. Liu immediately grasped the key point and her eyes lit up.
"Princess, you said you made this pill?"
"Do you have any left? Could you please give me some, considering we've been sisters for so many years?"
"Don't worry, you name the price, and I will definitely not let you suffer any loss!"
Madam Liu was also a marquis' wife and her family was very wealthy.
Although she is younger than Ning Leshu, she is in her early forties and has become a grandmother.
At this age, what people want most is to regain their youth and become more beautiful.
It’s a pity that even after trying all kinds of rouge and powder, my face is still getting older day by day.
How could she miss such an opportunity now?
For the sake of youth and beauty, she is willing to spend a fortune!
"Princess, I have a very good relationship with your mother, so please sell me some too."
"Princess, can you give me a few pills too?"
"Princess, please sell me some too."
"Princess..."
After she reminded them, the other noble ladies also spoke up, hoping to buy some from Xiao Ying.
Those who are forty want to go back to thirty, those who are thirty want to go back to twenty, and those who are twenty want to go back to sixteen, and they also hope to become as beautiful as Xiao Ying.
The imperial concubine was also very moved, but when she saw everyone surrounding Xiao Ying, a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes.
Today was her flower viewing party, but the limelight was stolen by that hateful woman Xiao Ying!
When I think about the fact that she was the one who brought up this matter, I feel even more upset and regretful.
"Princess Yingfeng has such a good thing, she can't hide it. I'm also very interested. I wonder if you can sell me a few pills too?"
At this moment, Concubine Shu, who had been watching silently, suddenly spoke with a smile on her face and a sincere look in her eyes.
With her joining, the crowd became even more excited.
Even Qi Yawei was very moved, and her hatred towards Xiao Ying was reduced a little.
In the end, the imperial concubine made the final decision, her tone revealing a hint of arrogance.
"Since everyone is so interested, Princess Yingfeng, please be generous and sell us a few pills."
This makes it sound like Xiao Ying is not generous if he doesn't sell it.
Even if she was really sold, everyone would remember the Imperial Concubine's kindness and think that it was she who persuaded Princess Yingfeng.
Xiao Ying said calmly, "Since the two ladies also want it, I will share some with them, but..."
Having said this, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Concubine Shu smiled knowingly: "Just what? Princess Yingfeng, don't worry at all. Just say whatever you want to say."
"Then I won't be polite to you all." Xiao Ying seemed relieved. "It's really because the medicinal materials used to make the pills are so rare and hard to find, and the pills are also very scarce, so the price... may be a little higher."
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. They thought she was going to say something, but it turned out to be just the price.
"Princess, price is not a problem, as long as you are willing to sell it to us."
Mrs. Liu immediately expressed her attitude, and the others followed suit.
Xiao Ying thought to himself, you guys said that yourself.
"Then I'll tell you the truth. These two pills are called Longevity Pills and Beauty Pills. You can tell what they are used for just by hearing their names."
"Both pills cost at least one thousand taels of silver each."
"If you want to be ten years younger like my mother and I, you have to take at least 20 to 30 pills of each type for about half a year."
The efficacy of these two pills is only one tenth of the real elixir. In other words, if they are sold as real elixirs, they will cost 10,000 taels per pill.
Actually it’s not that expensive.
After all, this is a treasure that contains spiritual energy and can truly prolong life and make you younger.
Sure enough, everyone's eyes lit up.
One pill costs one thousand taels, and taking twenty to thirty pills of each type will have this effect.
In other words, they only need to spend tens of thousands of taels!
Those who could attend the flower-viewing banquet were at least the families of fourth-rank officials, and in addition to their court salaries, they also had other assets.
For them, tens of thousands of taels are definitely within their reach!
"Princess Yingfeng, I need ten of each type of pill. I'll give you the silver today!"
