This facial mask can remove blemishes, improve skin tone, whiten skin, and reduce wrinkles. However, when Wang Fengru visited the Nanyang royal family last time, she said that the product was useless, so Nangong Rui didn't take it to heart.
Wang Fengru nodded, but looking at Nangong Rui's expression, she knew that she had not brought the Motherwort Noodle Soup with her this time. "What about the pearl powder?"
Nangong Rui shook his head again.
"Grandma Wang, Duoduo can do it!"
Seeing her grandmother's embarrassed expression and her grandmother's disappointed and sad face, Yun Duoduo volunteered.
"These pearl powder, jade complexion powder, fairy maiden powder, and motherwort face-nourishing formula are all made with rice flour, motherwort, pearl powder, and osmanthus-like medicinal materials."
"As long as we have these ingredients, Duoduo will make it for Grandma Wang!"
"It's a hundred times better than what's available on the market, and even better than what's in the Taoist temple!" Yun Duoduo patted her chest and guaranteed.
"Look, look, how sensible Duoduo is!"
"What a good child!"
Empress Dowager Wang Fengru of the Shu Kingdom gave Yun Duoduo many exquisite pieces of jewelry.
Wang Fengru wiped her hands with a handkerchief and took out an exquisite pear wood box inlaid with pearls from her sleeve.
"By the way, Duoduo, this is a rose-patterned red jade bracelet that I got from a merchant from the Western Regions a while ago."
She opened the box and saw a red jade bracelet of excellent quality lying inside.
"Take a look and see if you like it."
"What a beautiful bracelet!"
"Thank you, Grandmother Wang!"
Yun Duoduo looked at the bracelet and liked it very much.
Just then, the old nanny beside Wang Fengru came over and whispered to her, "Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty the Empress, Consort Yue, and Consort Shu have arrived."
"What's the commotion about them?"
"Perhaps, he wants to meet the little princess from Nanyang?"
"Let them in, they'll join in the fun." Wang Fengru rolled her eyes.
[This Empress must be Lian Jiucheng's birth mother.]
Yun Duoduo listened to the clanging sounds outside, which grew louder as they approached. Soon, the three empresses arrived at the center of the main hall.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects! May Your Majesty enjoy boundless happiness and peace!"
"Please take a seat."
Wang Fengru said calmly.
"This must be the Ninth Princess. She is so beautiful!" Consort Yue walked up to Yun Duoduo and reached out to touch her face, but Yun Duoduo dodged backward.
"Look at this child, still shy!"
After saying that, Consort Yue slowly returned to her seat.
Yun Duoduo then noticed that Yue Fei's belly was already quite large, and she looked to be five or six months pregnant.
"Mother, this is a gift that I prepared for Duoduo."
Consort Shu opened the sandalwood and mutton fat jade jewelry box and placed it on the table in front of Yun Duoduo.
"Thanks."
Yun Duoduo didn't know how to address these ladies, so she simply said thank you.
"It's just a pair of jade bracelets, how could Consort Shu have the nerve to give them away?"
Consort Yue's tone was full of sarcasm.
Wang Fengru rolled her eyes at Consort Yue, but unfortunately, Consort Yue was pregnant, so she couldn't scold her too harshly.
"Wow, such a symmetrical pair of jade bracelets must be hard to find, right?"
The Empress of Shu spoke up, "My sister, Consort Yue, grew up in Bin County and may not know this."
"These jade bracelets are indeed common, but it is extremely difficult to find a pair of perfectly symmetrical South China Sea pearl and ruby bracelets like these."
"How many years does it take to happen to meet a couple?"
Hearing the words of the Empress of Shu, Consort Shu's expression softened slightly.
The Empress looked at Yun Duoduo and continued, "Duoduo, I have a pair of South Sea pearl hairpins here, which are very rare. I took a liking to them the moment I saw them."
The Empress of Shu glanced at the palace maid beside her, who bowed her head, took the South Sea pearl hairpin, and handed it to Yun Duoduo.
[Ah, you're sending me something again? This lady is the Empress, but how should I address her?]
"Thank you." Yun Duoduo didn't know how to address her, so she simply said two words.
The princess of Nanyang is far more dignified than the princesses of Shu.
[When she speaks, she doesn't waste any words, and she's not intimidated at all when facing elders.]
The Queen of Shu looked at Yun Duoduo and grew to like her more and more.
This girl would be quite good as the future empress of Jiucheng.
Listening to the thoughts of the Empress of Shu, Yun Duoduo almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yun Duoduo felt a chill run down her spine. Could it be that he really had taken a liking to her and wanted to make her his daughter-in-law?!
Her heart trembled.
This is a dangerous place; it's not safe to stay any longer!
If we stay any longer, she'll be at my mercy, and I'll be the fish on the chopping block!
Wang Fengru noticed that Yun Duoduo's expression was a little off.
"Alright, you've given your gifts and met the person, now you should leave."
Wang Fengru waved her hand, closed her eyes, and decided to ignore it.
It seems that harems in different countries are all quite similar.
Yun Duoduo couldn't help but shake her head.
"Your Majesty, I take my leave."
Seeing that Wang Fengru was unhappy, the Empress, Consort Yue, and Consort Shu tactfully excused themselves and left.
"Older sister, have some tea to calm your nerves," Nangong Rui said.
"Oh dear, these concubines, they really are a handful!"
Wang Fengru finally breathed a long sigh of relief when a palace maid quickly walked in through the door and whispered in her ear, "Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, Prince Kuan has arrived."
The clouds pricked up their ears to listen.
Wow, this is really lively! One group left, and another group arrived.
