Chapter 51 He is just being sentimental
Xiahou Yu stood aside and smiled indifferently.
"Rose Jade Dew Cream, a little contraption I recently concocted, is beneficial for women's beauty. I present it to Your Majesty."
Of course Meng Yan knew about this Rose Jade Dew Cream!
Lin Yanrong was only of average appearance, and there was nothing outstanding about her in this harem full of beauties. So she begged the Imperial Hospital and got this jar of Rose Jade Dew Cream.
After applying it, the skin is indeed delicate, white as snow, and covered with radiance.
As the saying goes, a white complexion can hide three kinds of ugliness, not to mention that Lin Yanrong is not ugly.
After getting this wonderful item, according to what was written in the book, her appearance immediately became extremely bright and beautiful, and she was even able to rival herself.
Meng Yan still remembered this incident. In her previous life, she was very curious about who made this Jade Dew Cream and why it was so effective.
Although I guessed it was Xiahou Yu, I thought that he was an outstanding doctor, and he was arrogant and looked down on ordinary people. I think he would look down on such women's things.
Can……
This rose jade dew cream was really made by Xia Houyu!
Moreover, in this life, he held this object in front of himself!
Meng Yan was surprised, but couldn't help but sneer at him in her heart. He used the same tricks to please women in both lives. This Xiahou Yu really had nothing new to offer.
But after all, it was something she had been longing for for a long time in her previous life, so she was still a little excited when it appeared in front of her.
Meng Yan picked up the jar and gently opened the lid. A rich, deep, and fragrant aroma hit her face. She carefully examined it, but couldn't identify all the ingredients used.
Looking closely, I saw a pool of snow-white ointment in the jar, the ointment was delicate and looked like goose fat.
She gently took a small amount of the ointment and rubbed it on the back of her hand. The ointment melted in an instant, and the back of her hand was extremely smooth. After using so many ingredients, there was not even a trace of residue.
She was indeed ashamed of herself for not being able to match the craftsmanship.
Xiahou Yu was watching from the side, noticing the surprise in her eyes, and his thin, watery lips curled up slightly.
Meng Yan tried it, then closed the lid, put the jar back on the kang table, and looked up at the man.
"Let's be frank. Imperial Physician Xiahou is trying to please me so much. What's your intention?"
She didn't believe that this fox-like man suddenly showed mercy and came to help her out of pity for her situation.
There is no free lunch in the world, and people will not be nice to you for no reason.
She had known this for a long time.
Xiahou Yu gazed into her eyes and smiled. "How can I call this ointment, which I casually prepared, a flattering gesture? Furthermore, without the Emperor's order, I cannot treat other masters. This ointment can only be presented to Your Majesty."
"Randomly mixed? Xiahou Yu, have you forgotten that I am also well versed in pharmacology? There are seven or eight precious herbs in this ointment, just the ones I can identify. If something like this is randomly mixed, do you have nothing else to do with your money? If you don't have anyone to give it to, take it back and use it on your concubine."
Meng Yan said this casually, but suddenly remembered something.
Does Xiahou Yu have a woman?
The book never mentions this, only vaguely mentioning that he seemed to have a fiancée.
Lin Yanrong once asked him about this, but he just replied indifferently that the person was no longer alive.
Although Ruizhu mentioned earlier that he had no wife, that didn't necessarily mean he had no concubines. Nowadays, men might not marry, but they would often keep several concubines.
I don’t know if Xiahou Yu has this bad habit.
"I have no concubines."
The voice sounded coldly, Xiahou Yu's expression changed slightly, his brows wrinkled slightly, and he seemed to be slightly angry.
"Since I was old enough to understand, I have been studying medicine day and night. After joining the Imperial Hospital, I was busy serving the Emperor and had no time to keep concubines."
As he spoke, he actually took a step forward.
"Besides, I don't have any favorite maidservants."
If it's gone, it's gone. Why are you so angry? What are you saying to her?
Meng Yan was frightened by his sudden anger and muttered to herself.
But then she thought again, she was a royal concubine, how could she lose her dignity in front of an imperial physician and put on airs again.
"Since Imperial Physician Xiahou refuses to tell the truth, please take back this ointment. I dare not use such a valuable item carelessly. Besides, if the Emperor doesn't come to Changchun Palace, it will be useless for me to have it. Now that many young ladies have been selected in the palace, I'm sure there are many people who can use it."
She smiled faintly and said some tentative words.
Meng Yanke has not forgotten how Xiahou Yu helped Lin Yanrong in her previous life.
Lin Yanrong has officially made her debut, but why is he not making any moves at all? Why is he still hanging around in her Changchun Palace?
Xiahou Yu felt something rushing straight to his lungs. He stepped forward to retrieve the jar and bowed deeply to Meng Yan. "Your Highness, I have offended you. It is my fault. I will take my leave."
After saying this, he turned around and strode out of Changchun Palace without waiting for Meng Yan to speak.
Ruizhu was stunned watching from the side. "This Xiahou Imperial Physician has such a bad temper! He even dares to act like that in front of the Empress."
Meng Yan held her cheek with her hand, a little stunned.
Why is Xiahou Yu so angry? How did I irritate him?
Xiahou Yu walked out of Changchun Palace, and the spring breeze blew towards him, soothing his anxiety.
He took a deep breath, and the wind was filled with the fragrance of flowers, which made him feel intoxicated.
She said nothing wrong and did nothing wrong. It was just his wishful thinking and self-indulgent behavior.
But, how could he bear to forget her...
"Sister Yan..."
Muttering the name deep in his memory, he turned his head and glanced at the magnificent Changchun Palace again, then walked away from the long street step by step.
There was nothing happening in the palace for a long time. Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the day for the newly selected concubines to serve the emperor.
Liang Chengbi instructed the director of the Jingshifang in the Yiku Palace and sent him away.
Chun Qing refilled her tea for her, "Madam, do you really want Concubine Lin to take the first place?"
Liang Chengbi stroked the jade bracelet on her arm and said lazily, "How else can it be? She has already caught the emperor's eye, and with the two imperial concubines standing behind her, even if she doesn't take first place today, she will definitely rise to the top in the future. This palace is happy to do this favor."
"However, in my humble opinion, this Concubine Lin seems to be very scheming and may be difficult to control in the future."
"Oh." Liang Chengbi snorted and laughed. "So what? Right now, being able to share Meng Yan's favor is what matters. Once the emperor turns his attention away from Meng Yan, I will slowly defeat her and then subdue her. She is only a concubine now. Even if the emperor likes her very much, or even gives birth to a child immediately, a concubine is the best she can get. Let her take the first place and be satisfied. Only then will she be obedient and do my bidding."
Previously, Lin Yanrong acted on her own initiative and took poison to put the blame on Meng Yan, causing her a mess. Now she sent a palace maid to say that she wanted to be the first to sleep with her.
Both of these things made Liang Chengbi unhappy, but thinking of the deep hatred she had for Meng Yan, she endured it.
Chun Qing looked into her eyes and said tentatively, "However, the emperor hasn't given any instructions, and this arrangement is not in line with palace rules. I'm afraid there will be trouble."
That’s right, Lu Haozhi never mentioned the matter of selecting new concubines to sleep with him!
