Concubine Shu said: "It's impossible to support a wall with mud."
Sheng Xiyan wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief, her heart broken and her sorrow moving. She sobbed:
“Sisters, you don’t know that being favored and then falling out of favor is much more miserable than never being favored at all.
Life in the palace is long, and I will have to rely on my sisters to survive in the future."
"How pitiful."
"Sister Chen Fei, don't be sad, you still have us."
Even Concubine Jia felt quite sympathetic: "We are both people who have been cast away into this world."
Last night, Sheng Xiyan had already thought about it. If she fell out of favor, in order to ensure her future life, she would first have to dispel the hostility of the concubines and avoid being bullied.
Secondly, in order to support Guanju Palace by earning medical fees from treating concubines, as the Imperial Household Department and the Imperial Kitchen withheld funds for food, clothing, and other expenses.
Not only can beauty prescriptions earn money, but concubines also did not dare to see the imperial physician for some gynecological problems. They kept their illnesses secret and avoided seeing a doctor, fearing that Emperor Xuanwu and Empress Duan would find out and they would lose the opportunity to sleep with him.
Starting from this aspect, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
As for conditioning the body, that is complicated. Even if you don’t get better after a year or two, the medical fees will continue to come in.
Sheng Xiyan's tears flowed out in streams, and she couldn't hold them back, and she cried.
My heart sank, and my mind was filled with images of men and women, making love and doing whatever they wanted.
"Princess Chen, don't be sad."
Everyone tried to persuade and comfort him.
Sheng Xiyan wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her nose was red and tears were welling up in her eyes.
"Sisters, even though no one loves us, we women should still cherish ourselves.
I have developed a recipe for Jade Maiden Xiaoyao, which can help with depression, irritability, irregular menstruation, and strengthen the spleen and liver.
It also contains beauty ingredients that help remove freckles and regulate yellow skin.
The most important thing is that after taking it, I feel happy and sleep well. It works better than men."
"Really? Sister Chen Fei, I want this recipe. How much is it?"
"It's a bit of a stretch to say silver is not much, just one hundred taels."
Concubine Jia was the first to make the decision.
"Give me one. If you work hard and match it all at once, I'll give you an extra twenty taels as a reward."
Sheng Xiyan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief.
"It's not hard. I'll get the medicine ready at noon and have someone send it to Sister Jiafei."
Concubine Liang said, "I want some too, but you have to take my pulse and prescribe the right medicine. I don't take random medicines."
"Sure, let's go to the garden later and I'll show it to Sister Liangfei."
After the whole palace paid their respects, everyone left.
Indigo offers a nourishing deer placenta soup.
"Your Majesty, do you think what Concubine Chen said is true?"
Queen Duan sneered as she drank:
"The truth and falsehood are not in her, but in the emperor.
She realized that it would be difficult for her to survive in the palace in the future, so she tried to please the concubines. It's pitiful and sad."
Qingdai was a little confused.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Cui comes from an aristocratic family. If she becomes pregnant with an imperial heir, will it be difficult to control?"
