"You mean, this is for washing hair?" Sun Yun asked incredulously. She had been thinking that it must be even more delicious than double-skin milk pudding, since it smelled so good.
Zhao Shu looked at her and laughed heartily. After a few laughs, she remembered that she was in Dayong and could not laugh so unrestrainedly, so she lowered her voice to laugh.
Sheng Xia carefully removed all the hairpins from Zhao Shu's hair, then draped a dry cloth over her body and tucked it into her collar before starting to wash Zhao Shu's hair according to her description.
The shampoo became even more fragrant after being diluted with water, and Sun Yun regretted it deeply, shouting that he would wash his hair even when they arrived at the inn that night.
Although there was no conditioner, Zhao Shu was still very satisfied. She was finally free from the suffering of washing her hair with poria cocos. Using poria cocos was better than many people who could only wash their hair with rice water, wood ash, soapberry, etc. In Dayong, only the masters of wealthy families could afford to use poria cocos.
After washing her hair, Shengxia wrung it out for her, and she immediately felt her head was very light and her whole body was refreshed. There were no side effects, so she asked Chuchun to take the few remaining bottles in the porcelain bottle to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager also heard that Physician Peng had concocted a shampoo, and her audacious granddaughter was the first to try it. After Chu Chun put it down, she said to Zhang Chu, who was standing to the side, "Ah Jun has never acted so recklessly before."
"Your Majesty is very filial, and she was able to answer the questions in the 'Admonitions for Women' today. In contrast, those teachers in the past must have been like those people outside, always just echoing what others say. Your granddaughter naturally follows you, and she is good in every way." Zhang Chu seized the opportunity to speak well of Zhao Shu. She had watched Zhao Shu grow up and felt extremely sorry for her, seeing her being ostracized and ridiculed by the noble ladies of the capital over the years.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager scolded her and then said, "Wei Tingsi went to Qingzhou, and the Huo family also sent people to Qingzhou. You must say, my granddaughter is quite capable. If the Crown Prince can get the support of the Wei and Huo families, why should I worry? Yi'er is inexperienced in the world. Some people are reborn from the ashes, while others are crushed. I'll wait and see." She did not refute Zhang Chu's statement that Zhao Shu resembled her.
"Your Majesty is right. The princesses are no match for you." She avoided the topic of the Crown Prince. The future of the Crown Prince depends entirely on his own destiny. If he is reborn from the ashes, he will rule the world. If he falls into despair, he will be shattered to pieces. She had followed the Empress Dowager from the Empress to the Empress Dowager and always knew that the saying that there is no kinship in the royal family was absolutely true.
"The Huo family girl is quite strange. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before." The Empress Dowager abruptly changed the subject, leaving Zhang Chu at a loss for words.
