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 held the bronze mirror and turned it over and over, exclaiming.
"Mu! Nan! Xi!"
Qi Zhiheng's roar spread from Yiqi Pavilion to Shaoyunxuan, interrupting Linglong's words.
Linglong was so frightened that her hands shook and the bronze mirror in her hand fell to the ground.
Worry about the princess diluted her joy that her skin had become smooth and fair.
"Princess, did the prince find you picking the petals?"
Mu Nanxi looked indifferent and sat on the Arhat bed with her legs crossed.
"What are you afraid of? He can still rush over and beat me up?"
Before he finished speaking, Qi Zhiheng rushed over angrily, his face ashen, as if there was an uncontrollable anger burning in his chest.
Zhao Shuer followed him in, looking worried and sad.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became tense. Qi Zhiheng said coldly with a hint of anger in his eyebrows: "Who allowed you to go to my place without permission and touch my things!"
The pot of gardenias was carefully taken care of and carefully brought back from the northern belt when he returned to the capital.
In such a large capital city, apart from his mother and concubine, only the imperial grandmother treated him the best when he was young.
The imperial grandmother liked flowers the most, so he prepared this pot of gardenias as one of the birthday gifts for the imperial grandmother in a month's time.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry with my sister. My sister doesn't know where to give it to the imperial grandmother." Zhao Shuer took Qi Zhiheng's arm and leaned towards him.
Qi Zhiheng raised his eyebrows and unceremoniously raised his hand to shake off his arm.
The imperial grandmother didn't care about world affairs, so she must have been instigated by someone and deceived into sending Zhao Shuer to his house.
He hasn't even settled the score with the guy who plotted against their grandfather and grandson. How dare she, Zhao Shuer, come out to fight with Xini now!
"I didn't know that it was the birthday gift you prepared for the Imperial Grandmother. I can't do anything about that potted flower. I'll give you another one as compensation. Is it sure that the Imperial Grandmother will like it?" Mu Nanxi said softly. After all, she also I know I am at fault.
Before Qi Zhiheng could speak, Zhao Shuer hurriedly took over the conversation: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Then she spoke again with helplessness and regret on her face: "Although the imperial grandmother's favorite is flowers, gardenias were rare in the Zhou Dynasty, but now the gardenias have been destroyed by her sister, and they can only be replaced with other flowers." superior."
Mu Nanxi's eyes flashed, and there was an imperceptible chill.
This guy is clearly provoking trouble, not helping to persuade.
Mu Nanxi turned to Qi Zhiheng and said, "When I entered the palace to meet the Imperial Grandmother, I noticed that there was only one kind of orchid in the Cining Palace. It can be seen that the Imperial Grandmother is not so interested in other flowers except orchids."
"Even if gardenias are rare, but the royal grandmother doesn't like them that much, it's better to replace them with others that are more pleasing to the elderly."
Qi Zhiheng frowned and looked at Mu Nanxi, whose expression softened a bit.
Zhao Shuer's mind sank. Such a good opportunity was in front of her, so she couldn't just let it pass by.
"My sister has been raised outside the city since she was a child. How do you know what the royal grandmother likes? If the royal grandmother gave wild flowers and weeds that she shouldn't have given at her birthday party, wouldn't she have disgraced the entire palace."
Qi Zhiheng glanced at Zhao Shuer, with a look of disgust in his eyes.
"Prepare the things you want to give to me in advance." After leaving these words lightly, Qi Zhiheng left Shaoyunxuan in big strides.
Zhao Shuer wanted to follow, but was stopped by Mu Nanxi.
Zhao Shuer's heart thumped, and she asked, "Sister, what else do you want to give me?"
Even Mu Nanxi didn't dare to do anything to her in the palace.
Mu Nanxi looked at Zhao Shuer with a smile, but the coldness in his eyes made people shiver all over.
"I heard that my sister was placed in Qingfeng Courtyard by the prince. Are you still getting used to living there?" Mu Nanxi said calmly.
"I'm used to it."
"I heard that Qingfengyuan is not clean, so I just told my sister to be careful and go down."
Zhao Shu'er felt chilled in her heart when she saw her. She didn't care about what she said was clean or unclean, so she was too busy to leave Shaoyunxuan.
Linglong approached Mu Nanxi and asked thoughtfully: "Princess, how come this slave doesn't look at Zhao Shu'er as a good person?"
Mu Nanxi raised her hand and pinched Linglong's small face, which was almost watery, and said with a smile: "It seems you are not that stupid!"
As the night got darker, Mu Nanxi lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
The raw materials for making facial balm are expensive, and opening a store requires a lot of initial investment.
Moreover, the market is not yet open. If one knew that the facial cream is made from poisonous herbs, then not even a single customer would be able to get it.
"You have to think of other ways."
Mu Nanxi took out the few banknotes she had left from under the pillow and counted them upside down.
"If I had known at that time, I should have stolen more, and I shouldn't have thought about the steady flow of water."
…
The morning sun rose, illuminating every corner of the capital.
"princess!"
Mu Nanxi was frightened by the sudden scream, and the egg she beat in her hand almost fell into the bowl with the shell intact.
"The princess makes something that can poison people. Even if she does it in our own yard, why did she bring it to the kitchen?" Linglong rushed forward and snatched the bowl filled with egg whites from Mu Nanxi's hand.
Mu Nanxi was speechless. Was she such an unreliable person in Linglong's eyes?
"I'm just making snacks, how can I poison people?"
Linglong was doubtful and unwilling to return the bowl in her hand. She held the lives of the entire palace in her hands.
Mu Nanxi sighed helplessly and pointed at the materials around her that she wanted to use to make the condensed milk recipe.
"Look at how these look poisonous."
Linglongzai carefully looked at both sides to make sure that no poisonous weeds were mixed in. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and returned the bowl.
