Chapter 170 [Li Xiaoguan must have done it! ]
Golden Palace.
After the morning court session ended, Emperor Qingning began to yawn after reviewing two memorials. He always felt that he had been lacking energy recently and was prone to drowsiness and sleepiness.
After taking a sip of the strong tea brewed by Zhou Jushan, he did not feel any relief from his fatigue. "Eunuch Zhou, are you not good at brewing tea? The tea you brewed is not refreshing enough."
Zhou Jushan smiled on the surface, but secretly cursed the dog emperor in his heart. It was obvious that the dog emperor himself was old and his energy was not as good as before. He also indulged in excessive sexual activities. Now it was his fault for making tea. Why wasn't he sleepy when he was flipping through the names of the concubines in the harem at night?
"I am wronged. I have served Your Majesty faithfully and have never been negligent."
Zhou Jushan's mind raced, "Perhaps it's because Your Majesty cares deeply about the people of the world, feeling their feelings and worrying about their anxieties every day. I only think of Your Majesty, while Your Majesty also cares about the countless people of the world."
His expression and tone were just right, not overly flattering. "Even though your servants diligently serve you, it's hard to stop your Majesty from being exhausted from worrying about the people. It's normal to be tired. Your current exhaustion is a sign that a wise ruler cares about his people."
Zhou Jushan's high-EQ flattery finally brightened Emperor Qingning's expression. "The Imperial Hospital collectively refused to check my pulse, and the decoctions they prescribed are ineffective. These useless doctors are becoming increasingly deceptive."
Hehe, the squad leader was also scolded, and Zhou Jushan felt relieved.
Then he heard the emperor say, "You have many connections. Go and ask me if there is any other way to refresh your mind."
“Hey!”
Zhou Jushan respectfully left the Golden Palace, with a flawless smile on his face from beginning to end.
He turned around and told this news to the concubines in the palace who wanted to win his favor, doing them a favor. After all these operations, he received a lot of rewards from the various palaces.
Without him having to do anything, these ladies would use all their martial arts to help Emperor Qingning solve his problems.
The exception is Concubine Rou. She is now able to act arrogantly in the palace because she is pregnant. She doesn't need to worry about anything else. She has already received news from Zhou Jushan and asked her mother's family to contact He Lin.
Concubine Rou's father was the Minister of War, and her brother was the Commander of the Military Department, in charge of the capital's security. Both of them had been promoted not long ago, thanks to the child in Concubine Rou's belly.
At this time, He Lin posted a picture of the preparation site for the flower viewing banquet in the group.
Zhou Jushan clicked on the picture and thought to himself that the layout of the flower viewing banquet was truly magnificent. It went straight for the dreamy sea of flowers style, and even built a fountain in the shape of a jade rabbit, which would definitely open the eyes of the noble ladies in the capital.
@He Lin: I've settled in Beijing and everything is ready.
Jiang Lili, who was digging in a cave in Haizhou, saw the bustling city of Beijing and expressed her envy while holding her small shovel: "If you become rich, don't forget me!"
However, Jiang Liming will also participate in the flower viewing banquet remotely. She can't wait to see what kind of sensation the big star's debut will cause!
@贺琳: Everyone, wait for my livestream debut tomorrow at 12:00 PM! 】
@Zhou Jushan (Grand Chamberlain): I support you! I want to come too! The damn emperor won't grant me leave!
@Hou Xiaoxiao (Princess of Jin): I'll be sitting in the center of the flower viewing party for everyone to experience. I'll also be doing a live video call tomorrow with a different camera angle!
…
In the blink of an eye, it was already the next day at the beginning of the afternoon.
The flower viewing banquet was held in Huaxi, on the outskirts of the city. The He family contracted a piece of land here as a flower garden and built a venue for this early winter flower viewing banquet by the stream.
As the crisp sound of horse hooves approached, a number of gorgeously decorated carriages slowly approached Huaxi on the outskirts of the city.
It was early winter in the capital, with strong winds and dry weather. The noble ladies who came put on thin velvet cloaks and veils before getting off the carriages, for fear that the early winter wind would roughen their delicate skin.
The ladies smiled and chatted with each other, then walked together towards Huaxi.
At this time, the maids from the flower shop, wearing uniform solid-color clothes with plum blossom patterns, came out to greet them, carrying baskets, and distributing small boxes of hand cream and face cream to the ladies, which were actually trial samples of modern skin care products.
The waitress in the lead had a dignified appearance, appearing mature and steady. This was Yunxiao, the second-in-command of the He Family Flower Shop. She took out a small jar from the flower basket and introduced it, "Dear guests, this is the aloe vera gel produced by our He Family Flower Shop. It's hydrating and nourishing. Applying it to your cheeks can instantly relieve dryness and tightness."
Hearing that it could immediately relieve facial dryness, many noble ladies couldn't wait to ask their maids to apply it on them.
The transparent aloe vera gel is refreshing and moisturizing. Once applied, it turns into water and soaks into the skin, with immediate effect.
"This aloe vera gel is better than those snow creams and gels I used before!"
"Shopkeeper, I want to buy ten more cans!"
…
Yunxiao seemed to have anticipated this scenario. After all, she had also found aloe vera gel quite miraculous when she first encountered it. "Please be patient, everyone. We sell it all over the garden. Not only aloe vera gel, but also other plant-based skin creams with other benefits."
When the ladies heard this, they couldn't wait to go into the park and shop.
Hou Xiaoxiao arrived early and turned on the live broadcast to warm up the venue for the classmates in the class group.
Although she helped He Lin a lot, she did not look at all of He Lin's designs and arrangements for the sake of the novelty of being there.
At this moment, she brought her two concubines, Qin and Yuan, who had the "best performance" this month, to have a look. Both beauties looked fresh and curious.
After the three of them registered to enter the park, they received a small sample of aloe vera gel. Qin was surprised: "Isn't this aloe vera gel the performance sprint reward that Princess Sister gave us before? I didn't expect it to be produced by the He family. Other young ladies paid so much for the entrance fee to receive such a small bottle."
Yuan looked at the other noble ladies, even the daughter of the Shangshu family, who were all asking for aloe vera gel. It was their first time to experience it. She felt so happy in her heart. She held Hou Xiaoxiao's hand tightly and said, "Princess, you are so good to us!"
"You're worth it."
Hou Xiaoxiao smiled and gave employees enough emotional value!
Not only did they receive skincare samples upon entering the park, but the three also received a map called a "Treasure Hunt Check-in Map." They went to various points on the map to check in and get stamps. Collecting seven stamps would allow them to exchange for a limited edition rose-embossed straw cup.
Huh? This is a familiar routine!
Hou Xiaoxiao took a quick glance at the park. Matching it with the points on the map, there were actually seven stalls selling different goods. However, the decorations such as floats and wind chimes made it look particularly beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Of course, Hou Xiaoxiao estimated that the value of the things on the stalls might have doubled.
Jiang Lili, who was also watching Hou Xiaoxiao's livestream, commented sharply, "This is a familiar pattern. Did they hire Li Xiaoguan as a consultant for this event?"
