"Princess, what are you doing?"
Linglong returned to Shaoyunxuan from the kitchen with a plate of fruits and was attracted by the sound of "ding ding dong dong" in the side room.
As soon as he entered the house, his eyes were attracted by the sticky dark brown mud pounded in Mu Nanxi's hand.
"Research ways to make money." Mu Nanxi picked up a porcelain bottle and poured the white powder inside into a mashed stone jar.
"The palace is rich in clothes and food, why does the princess need to make money?"
Mu Nanxi chuckled: "In the future, if you are not in the palace, you will have to fend for yourself."
"The princess is the mistress of the palace. Where can she go if she is not in the palace? The princess knows how to joke."
Mu Nanxi smiled and said nothing, and continued to concentrate on developing the things in his hands.
Linglong put the fruit aside and stepped forward to take a look.
The pens, inks, paper and inkstones that were originally placed on the desk with an upturned desk were all crammed into the book shelf. Instead, the desk surface was occupied by bottles and herbs.
"Isn't the princess making pills in another room? Why did she have to move here?"
"The aroma of medicine in that wing is too mixed, and there are too many herbs. If you are not careful, you can destroy this treasure of mine." Mu Nanxi threw the same powdered herbs into the stone jar, and used the stone pestle to do it ten times. Use ten percent of your strength to crush it.
Linglong wanted to sort out the messy bottles and jars so that the princess could use them.
She stretched out her hand, and the moment she was about to touch the bottle, Mu Nanxi hurriedly spoke to stop her.
"Most of these are highly poisonous. If you are not careful, you will die." Mu Nanxi said seriously.
Linglong quickly retracted her hand, her face full of shock and fear.
Why does her princess like to do dangerous things?
Since the princess entered the palace, she has taken some time to play with the sword in the yard almost every day. The sword is so sharp, and now she has started to play with poison. It is really scary!
Are all the daughters of high families raised outside the capital so... so different?
Mu Nanxi looked at Linglong's face that turned blue and white, and found it very funny.
"Go to the yard and get me a copper pot to boil water, then send someone out to buy the shaved beef bones, chop them into small pieces, wash them, bring them over and boil them in the copper pot."
"Yes." Linglong retreated.
Not long after, Mu Nanxi had all the preparations needed in the early stage.
She carried the stone jar out of the house and saw Linglong sitting beside the stove with a chubby face, gently fanning the fire.
Under the illumination of the autumn sunshine and firelight, Linglong is like a ripe peach, plump and bright.
Mu Nanxi walked over, and Linglong immediately stood up and gave up the small bench.
"Princess, the slave has brought the condiments for the beef bone soup!" Linglong brought the wooden shelf full of condiment jars to her side.
Mu Nanxi chuckled and said, "I'm not making beef bone soup, you little glutton!"
This little Linglong not only looks cute, but also has cute thoughts.
Mu Nanxi opened the lid of the pot, scooped the black mud from the stone pot into the copper pot, scraped the wall of the pot clean to avoid waste, and threw the gardenia petals prepared in advance into the pot.
Linglong looked at the familiar and fragrant flowers and asked in confusion: "Princess, where did the princess find them in this season?"
"Ah. I picked it in the prince's courtyard."
"What!" Linglong was so shocked that she almost jumped up.
"The prince came back from the Northern Territory specially! He is going to give it to the Queen Mother as a birthday gift!"
Mu Nanxi curled her lips, it was just a pot of flowers, could Qi Zhiheng kill her because of this?
The worst she can do is pay him a gift, or die together if that doesn't work.
After boiling for who knows how many hours, the sky was already dark, and the fat in the beef bones was finally boiled out.
Before the contents in the copper pot solidified, Mu Nanxi slowly poured them onto the funnel illuminated by several layers of gauze, and the last essence fell into the small porcelain box.
After being filtered through layers of gauze, there was no impurity in the mud. When it cooled down, the mud also condensed into a milky white solid with a faint fragrance of gardenia.
"The princess has wasted all her energy for a day, so there is only so much left in a big pot." Linglong looked at the porcelain box, but she didn't dare to touch it again this time.
Mu Nanxi held the porcelain box in her hand like a treasure, scooped out a piece and applied it on the back of her hand. With a gentle rub, it instantly melted on the skin.
"Princess! Isn't this poisonous!" Linglong screamed in shock. When the other servants in the courtyard heard her shouting, there was a layer of fear in their eyes.
Their princess spent the whole afternoon tinkering in the yard and actually condensed a small box of poison!
Mu Nanxi hurriedly pulled Linglong, glanced at her eyebrows and whispered: "Keep your voice down! You can't scare them to death!"
Linglong looked up and found that everyone else in the yard looked nervous and looked frightened.
Linglong knew that she had done something wrong and said the wrong thing, so she didn't dare to yell anymore.
Mu Nanxi stood up with the porcelain box, asked Linglong to follow her into the house, and asked her to sit on the Arhat bed.
"Princess, isn't this poisonous! How can you apply it on your skin!" Linglong refused to sit down and only looked anxiously from left to right, worried that Mu Nanxi would be poisoned.
Mu Nanxi pushed the person down and sat him down.
“It’s true that each of them is toxic when taken alone, but when combined together, it’s a good thing that can make you radiant and make your skin breakable!”
Linglong was puzzled, but she gritted her teeth and allowed her master to smear the poison on her face.
"What are you doing with such a look on your face?" Mu Nanxi found it funny. "Your princess' poison-healing master, what are you afraid of!"
"But don't let this stuff enter your mouth. If you apply it on your skin, it will beautify your skin, but if you eat it, it will cause your intestines to pierce and rot! But it doesn't matter. Just drink a big bowl of the special medicinal soup and it will be fine."
Linglong's eyelids twitched fiercely, her lips pressed together tightly, not daring to move.
"It only takes less than half a cup of tea to apply it, and the medicinal effect is completely absorbed by the skin. If you accidentally put a piece of it into your mouth, you won't be poisoned. Don't worry."
Linglong nodded repeatedly, unwilling to open her mouth to speak, and did not dare to speak until a cup of tea had passed.
"Go and look in the mirror."
The facial cream made by Mu Nanxi this time focuses on brightening, removing yellowing, improving dullness, and making the skin whiter and more delicate.
In her previous life, she was in the flames of war and changed into different undercover identities. The organization suddenly needed her to pretend to be a movie star to get close to the enemy leader.
In order to transform from a rough employee in an underground printing factory to a white-skinned and beautiful star as soon as possible, she could only use her best to develop these.
At that time, her nerves were tense all the time, but now she doesn't have so many responsibilities on her body, and she is still a little used to it.
Fortunately, there is a mother to save.
Fortunately, in order to make money to support the two of them, life would not be without any progress.
"Princess! This poisonous ointment is so magical!"
Linglong turned the bronze mirror over and over and exclaimed.
