Princess Changle was dumbfounded when she looked at those herbs. She glanced at Hua Yuanshan who was pretending to be surprised and sneered in her heart.
This Hua Yuanshan is really not presentable. She didn't forget to frame her own sister even in such an occasion!
Who did she think she could fool with such a crude trick?
Princess Changle wanted to help Hua Yuanzhao out of trouble, but looking at the pile of herbs, she couldn't find a suitable excuse no matter how hard she tried.
"Cough." Gu Changsu coughed dryly and said to Hua Yuanzhao, "Miss Hua is a skilled doctor... uh... I just don't know what the effects of these herbs are?"
Hua Yuanzhao reacted after a brief moment of shock and said calmly, "Of course it can beautify and nourish the skin."
Her heart was beating fast. She had prepared this herb specially for Old Madam Hua! How could it appear here?
It must be Hua Yuanshan who did something again!
Fuling felt a little uneasy in her heart. She had checked before getting on the carriage, and the box clearly contained a dagger!
"The beauty recipe given by my elder sister must be good." Hua Yuanshan smiled softly and pretended to be envious and asked, "I just don't know what kind of herbs these are? How to use them?"
You can't let Princess Changle drink it, right? Isn't she afraid of being charged with murdering the princess?
Hua Yuanzhao glanced at her, bowed and said to Princess Changle: "Princess, I would like to demonstrate in public. Could you please lend me some tools for a while?"
Princess Changle looked at Hua Yuanzhao worriedly and said kindly, "Of course I trust your medical skills...but...do you really want to demonstrate it in public?"
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a trap. Is Hua Yuanzhao sure he wants to jump into it?
Hua Yuanzhao responded calmly.
Princess Changle was at a loss and nodded to the palace maid beside her.
Hua Yuanzhao only asked for a small stove and stone mill for making honey and tea powder, and also asked for some flowers and a clean garlic mortar.
She picked a few herbs, put them on the small stove to roast, and asked Fuling to watch the heat, waiting for them to be ground into medicinal powder.
He took a garlic mortar and mashed the herbs into a paste, then mixed it with honey into a paste.
Hua Yuanshan looked at the paste in the jar with disgust, frowned and asked, "Eldest sister, you are not really going to give this stuff to the princess, are you?"
Hua Yuanzhao pounded the jar with a bang, and without even looking up, he ordered the palace servant to fetch a basin of water.
"Princess, you are a precious girl. What if something goes wrong after you use this thing?" Hua Yuanshan insisted.
"In that case, why don't you try for the princess, second sister?" Hua Yuanzhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Hua Yuanshan dangerously.
Hua Yuanshan was startled by her look and quickly declined, "This is a birthday gift for the princess. How can I use it properly?"
"What does it matter?" Princess Changle said casually, "Miss Hua is so considerate of me, how can I not appreciate it?"
Dare to frame others at her birthday party! There will be a price to pay!
"Miss Hua Er, you can try it for me." Princess Changle said in an unquestionable tone.
Hua Yuanshan felt as if a thorn in her back. She glared at Hua Yuanzhao hatefully before responding reluctantly.
Hua Yuanzhao was not polite either. He immediately asked someone to clean the powder off her face, and then smeared the paste in his hand all over her face.
Hua Yuanshan was forced to stand where she was, her heart beating like a drum, fearing that Hua Yuanzhao would do something secretly and ruin her face in public.
When everyone saw Hua Yuanshan's face covered with sticky, green stuff, they all took a step back, fearing that the stuff would get on their clothes.
While no one was paying attention to this side, Hua Yuanzhao used the box as a cover and quickly took out a large piece of Vaseline from the space.
Hua Yuanzhao placed the Vaseline on a small stove to melt it, mixed the juice of fresh flowers with the juice of medicine to adjust the color, and secretly added some food coloring when no one was paying attention.
She didn't stop to cool it down until the paste turned a fiery red color.
Fuling was chopping and grinding dried herbs nearby, and her eyes widened in shock when she saw this.
——How did you make this thing, Miss?
"Is this also to be applied on the face?" Princess Changle leaned over curiously.
After cooling down, the paste in the porcelain bowl looked like crystal glass and had a strange fragrance, which was not unpleasant.
"This is lip balm. It can nourish the lips and add color to the mouth." Hua Yuanzhao asked with a smile: "Princess, do you want to try it?"
Princess Changle nodded without hesitation, and Hua Yuanzhao took out a cotton swab from his sleeve, dipped a little on it and smeared it on Princess Changle's mouth.
Everyone stared at it nervously, and saw that after applying this thing, Princess Changle's lips suddenly became crystal clear and attractive.
The light red on her lips is not eye-catching, but it makes her look attractive.
Princess Changle took a look in the small mirror and the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily.
"It's rare that you can come up with something good!" Princess Lin'an looked at Princess Changle eagerly, and came up to her with great interest and said, "Let me try it too!"
Princess Changle's face froze and she subconsciously looked at Hua Yuanzhao.
If it was someone else, it would be fine, but how could Princess Lin'an have the nerve to say such a thing? She was really spoiled!
Seeing this, several noble ladies nearby who had always been on good terms with Princess Changle came over with a smile and interrupted.
"Princess, you can't be partial to one and ignore the other! I want to try it too..."
One of them simply smiled at Hua Yuanzhao and said, "Miss Hua, you have such a clever hand that you can make something like this."
"Princess Changle is already extremely beautiful, and now she looks like a fairy... We are all jealous!"
Princess Changle breathed a sigh of relief and asked Hua Yuanzhao with a smile: "Miss Hua, it would be a pity for me to enjoy this lip balm alone, can you share it with my sisters?"
Hua Yuanzhao smiled slightly and said politely: "Since the gift is given to the princess, it is up to her will."
Princess Changle thanked her with a smile, then told the palace servants to prepare small boxes for packaging.
Hua Yuanzhao took out a few more cotton swabs and smeared them on Princess Lin'an and the other noble ladies in public. Her expression was calm and gentle, as if resolving a difficult situation was just a piece of cake for her.
Princess Changle looked at Hua Yuanzhao with regret, feeling only pity in her heart.
Her third brother had very poor eyesight and mistook fish eyes for pearls, thus losing the real treasure!
Suddenly, Hua Yuanshan rushed over nervously and shouted: "My face! My face hurts so much!"
