"Is it only for women, or can it be taken by both men and women?"
The system didn't quite understand Yunyi's idea. "Of course, both men and women can take it. Most of the pills produced in the store are unisex."
Having received the answer she wanted, Yunyi was satisfied. "That's good, then my plan should be feasible."
"Host, what are you planning to do?" the system asked, somewhat curiously.
Yunyi found it somewhat amusing; this system was quite adorable. A thought flashed through her mind, and she swallowed back the explanation she had intended to give, instead saying, "You want to know what I'm going to do? I won't tell you; you'll have to see for yourself."
"Hmph! Fine, don't tell me then, I don't care!" The little light system was very angry, and its original light blue color deepened, turning into a dark blue light.
Seeing that she had angered the system, Yunyi quickly apologized. After much effort, she managed to coax the little system back. She then hurriedly slipped away, not daring to stay in the world of consciousness any longer, for fear of angering the system again.
When she regained consciousness, it was still pitch black outside. Yunyi pondered her thoughts for a moment before feeling relieved and going to sleep peacefully. She had to pay her respects to the Empress early the next morning.
The next morning, relying on the original owner's biological clock, Yunyi naturally woke up around 5-7 a.m. After waking up, she discovered, by the dim light outside, that she was lying on a magnificent and precious rosewood canopy bed, covered with a light yellow brocade quilt embroidered with a hundred pomegranates. The top of the canopy bed was carved with exquisite relief flowers and birds by craftsmen. The intricate patterns and superb craftsmanship left Yunyi in awe.
Yunyi got up, lifted the pale yellow silk curtain, and was about to get up when she saw a palace maid with delicate features, dressed in a green palace dress, carrying a tray with a blue and white porcelain teapot and teacups on it.
Seeing Yunyi get up, the young palace maid hurriedly stepped forward, placed the tray on the table, and carefully helped Yunyi dress. "Your Highness, if you need anything, just tell me to come and serve you. It's still early, and the morning is chilly. Why did you get up so early? What if you catch a cold?"
Yunyi smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just got up a little while ago. It's only been a short time. How could I have caught a cold so quickly?"
This young palace maid is named Ruoshu, and she is 20 years old. She was brought into the palace from the Tong family by the original owner of this body. She has served by Tong Yunyi's side since she was a child and is extremely loyal to her. When the original owner entered the palace, she secretly vowed that she would never marry and would stay with her mistress forever.
Ruoshu has a calm and steady personality and is the most reliable of the original owner's four first-class personal maids. She often advises the original owner when she behaves inappropriately, which the spoiled original owner dislikes.
Tong Yunyi intended to have a child through surrogacy, and she even voiced her objections. She was someone who genuinely cared about the original owner of the body. Later, after Tong Yunyi passed away, she went to serve the Fourth Prince.
As they were talking, four more palace maids entered, carrying various washing tools. After Yunyi finished dressing and washing her mouth, she went to sit down in front of the dressing table, where the second-class palace maid Qingruo came forward to serve her.
After bowing in greeting, Qingruo asked Yunyi, "What hairstyle would Your Highness like today?"
The original owner of this body was an extremely beautiful woman, with willow-leaf eyebrows, clear, bright eyes, an oval face, skin as smooth as jade, hands as delicate as tender shoots, and a slender figure. It seemed as if all the beauty in the world had been gathered in one person. In this harem of three thousand beauties, Tong Yunyi's appearance was by no means inferior. However, she usually dressed in a rich and flamboyant manner, so her appearance, which was originally only 8 out of 10, was actually quite beautiful. In addition, her frequent worries in recent years had also greatly diminished her original beauty.
Now that Tong Yunyi's body is inhabited by the soul of Yunyi, she is really not used to the original owner's appearance. After a moment's thought, she said to Qingruo, "Just a simple two-bun hairstyle will do. Don't wear too many hair accessories. Pick a few from the jade hair ornaments that my cousin gave me the other day. Don't make your makeup too flashy either. Just apply some powder, a little rouge, and some lip rouge."
Qingruo was a little surprised. "Your Majesty, isn't this attire too plain?"
"I will be paying homage to Buddha recently, so it's not appropriate to dress too extravagantly or ostentatiously." Yunyi waved her hand, not waiting for her to say anything more, "Just do as I command." If she weren't afraid of changing too much, Yunyi would have preferred to go without hair ornaments, powder, or rouge. The cosmetics of this era were indeed not very good. As a noble consort, she was already using the best available. The cosmetics used by lower-ranking concubines and palace maids were even worse.
Having received the Empress's instructions, Qingruo quickly and efficiently combed Yunyi's hair and applied her makeup. Meanwhile, Ruoshu had already directed the palace maids to bring out breakfast. Because she was going to pay her respects, she couldn't eat too much; breakfast consisted of a simple bowl of red date and rice porridge, a plate of steamed buns, a plate of shumai, and four small dishes of delicious pickles. Yunyi elegantly finished her porridge, then tasted the other foods briefly before putting down her chopsticks. She got up and tidied up for a moment, and then it was time to pay her respects.
After ordering Ruoshu to accompany her to pay her respects, Yunyi boarded the palanquin befitting her rank as a Noble Consort, and, accompanied by her personal maid Ruoshu and several other maids and eunuchs, proceeded in a grand procession towards Yikun Palace.
