Chapter 118: Controlling Concubine Li



In the magnificent palace, a woman dressed in the Rose Palace concubine's dress sat in the first seat. She held a green teacup and slowly poured tea with the tea lid, and the fragrance of tea filled the cup.

In an instant, she frowned in disgust and placed the teacup on the table beside her: "Change it to scented tea."

The maids were used to it, and one of them immediately came forward to take the tea away.

Only the maidservant who was massaging her back dared to answer, "Your Majesty, this new imperial physician is said to be very famous among the people. Many people in the palace have been talking about him recently."

"Really? That's perfect. I haven't had a good appetite lately, so let him come and take care of it for me." The woman's brows were deep, and there was a flash of darkness in her eyes.

Yun Miao was a little surprised when she heard the message.

I was just reminded by Mr. Taishu Sheng that the women in the harem are as fierce as wolves and tigers.

She was not afraid, but she was also curious about who was the first to take an interest in her, a new imperial physician.

When she was summoned to leave, she naturally encountered sympathy from many other practicing doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

"It's Concubine Li again. She's been really busy lately..."

"I'm afraid even Dean Yun won't be able to come back without losing a lot of skin..."

"...Last time, Imperial Physician Zhou offended Concubine Li and was nearly dismissed from his position. If it weren't for the Third Prince asking for him, he would probably have returned home to farm..."

"Dean Yun encountered a tough opponent on his first day in office..."

Yun Miao had heard a few words, but since she had agreed to enter the palace, she was naturally prepared to face all of this.

"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Concubine Li." Yun Miao entered the palace carrying a medicine box and bowed with both hands in a dignified manner to show her respect.

After all, she didn't kneel even when she saw the emperor, so how could she kneel before a concubine?

"How dare you!" Concubine Li's personal maid scolded Yun Miao, "Why don't you kneel when you see the Empress?"

"I'm sorry, but I have received an oral order from the emperor to exempt all kneeling ceremonies in the palace." This was Yun Miao's request, and the emperor was quite straightforward.

The maid was about to say something, but Concubine Li raised her hand to stop her: "You idiot, slap yourself in the face."

The frightened maid knelt down immediately: "Yes, your majesty..." As she spoke, she slapped herself ten times in the face, which became red and swollen instantly.

Concubine Li held the newly served cup of scented tea and slowly raised her eyelids, gazing at Yun Miao. "Imperial Physician Yun, I apologize for any offense I may have caused you. However... I never expected that Imperial Physician Yun, so young, could command such trust from the Emperor and enjoy such a high reputation among the people. Imperial Physician Yun was directly promoted to Director of the Imperial Hospital by the Emperor's favor, so his medical skills must be exceptional. It just so happens that I've been experiencing a loss of appetite lately, and I've consulted several Imperial Physicians, but none of them could find the cause. I'm sure this problem should be easily solved by Divine Physician Yun."

She held out her hand.

Another maid in blue immediately stepped forward and pulled up her sleeves, revealing her white wrist.

Yun Miao lowered her head and said, "I'll do my best." What a show of power.

The maid took out a silk scarf and placed it on Concubine Li's wrist.

Yun Miao began to take the pulse through the silk scarf.

After a moment, he retracted his hand, clasped his fists, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, are you well?"

"How is that possible? The queen said she was not feeling well, so of course she was not feeling well. How could you not see anything?" The maid in blue questioned Yun Miao calmly.

Yun Miao stood up without being servile or arrogant, and then looked at the maid with a calm expression: "Your master is indeed fine, do you really hope that something will happen?"

"You..." The maid choked and dared not speak anymore.

Yun Miao remained calm and collected. She picked up the medicine box she had placed on the ground and said calmly, "It's normal for Your Majesty to have a poor appetite. Excuse me, Your Majesty is from the West, so your eating habits are naturally different from those of Tiansheng. For example, people in the West don't like to drink tea, but Your Majesty drinks scented tea. In fact, as long as you go with the flow and eat according to your own preferences, you won't have a problem with a poor appetite."

Westerners have deep European facial features and speak with a special accent, which is why Yun Miao was able to identify Concubine Li's identity.

"Heh, Doctor Yun means that I deserve it?" Concubine Li looked a little embarrassed.

The emperor loves tea, so if she didn't like tea, she naturally wouldn't be able to find a common topic to talk about.

With so many new beauties in the palace, an "outlier" like her would soon be eliminated.

The previous imperial physicians did not dare to speak so directly, and Yun Miao's plain words were naturally more sharp and unpleasant.

Yun Miao faced Concubine Li's wrath with a calm bow, saying, "Your Majesty, there's really no need to deliberately change your eating habits to please others. Flowers have their own charms, and Your Majesty has her own personality and sense of humor. If you become like everyone else, wouldn't that diminish your unique characteristics?"

This made Concubine Li's eyes show a bit of surprise, and the embarrassment on her face eased a lot. She looked at Yun Miao thoughtfully: "Are you saying that this is actually an advantage for me?"

"That's right. Only those who are different will be deeply remembered. Your Majesty should not be lost in the crowd."

Be different, don't be like everyone else.

Concubine Li's eyes shone brightly. She stood up and looked at Yun Miao: "Your idea is quite unique. What do you think I should do?"

This question is a life-or-death question.

No matter what the answer is, you can find something wrong.

How could she, an imperial physician, teach the empress what to do?

Yun Miao smiled, then bowed and said, "It just so happens that I came here to bring a gift to Her Majesty."

"Gift?" Concubine Li was puzzled.

Then Yun Miao took out a white jade bottle from the medicine box and said, "This is a beauty cream. As the name suggests, it can beautify and nourish the skin. If Your Majesty doesn't mind..."

"Bring it to me." Concubine Li waved impatiently when she heard the name.

There is no woman who doesn’t like beauty and skin care products.

Mi'er immediately stepped forward, took the jade bottle from Yun Miao's hand and handed it to Concubine Li.

Concubine Li opened the bottle, revealing the milky white paste with a faint rose fragrance. Her eyes revealed joy, but she quickly regained her nonchalant tone and said, "Since this is Doctor Yun's gift, I will accept it."

Then he added, "Are you sure it can beautify and nourish your skin?"

"It can also brighten your skin tone, whiten and suppress spots." Yun Miao added.

Concubine Li could no longer conceal her excitement: "Is it really that magical?"

Whitening and anti-freckles, these four words sound incredible.

"How dare I lie to the queen?" Yun Miao thought, since she had entered the palace, she would inevitably have to greet these women in the harem.

It is said that the women in the harem are scary and scheming.

But smart women are more direct. As long as you have what they need, you can become a weapon.

How could she not love it when she had a group of ready-made wealthy customers bringing her goods for free?

Thinking of this, Yun Miao raised her head and looked at Concubine Li affectionately and said, "Your Majesty must have been worried too much recently, which has led to poor diet. I can prescribe a medicinal meal that will please your appetite. You can try it."
