The early morning sunlight penetrated through the hollow carved windows. Lu Qingtang stretched out and walked out of the room. He first went next door to dress the two babies, then helped the nanny wash their faces, and fed them breakfast.
After she and Sumukoudan had a simple meal, the three masters and servants went to Biyue Palace together.
There is an informant placed by Concubine Shu in Qingquan Palace, who can report the movements of Qingquan Palace at any time.
"Concubine Shu, Concubine Chen, and Concubine Ning plan to give Concubine Xian red coral for pregnancy, saying they want to kill Concubine Xian's heart."
The speaker was Xiaofu, the palace maid of Qingquan Palace, a girl with an average face. Concubine Shu bought her for only a few gold.
Concubine Shu nodded, "Okay, please step back and be careful."
As she said this, she winked at Qingyao beside her. Qingyao understood and took out a few gold leaves from his arms and handed them to Xiaofu's hand. Xiaofu's eyes immediately lit up, and he followed Qingyao out of the back door of Biyue Palace.
After seeing Xiao Fu leave, Concubine Shu lazily lay down on the chair. She leaned on one hand and looked at Lu Qingtang, "Lu Xiaotang, do you have any ideas?"
Lu Qingtang shook his head, with a look of disdain on his face, "It's too insidious. If the mother-in-law is not the mother-in-law, and she gives birth to a dead baby, then giving coral as a gift is what a human being does?"
"What do you think, that your fake mother-in-law can survive in the harem for decades because of her appearance?" Concubine Shu sneered, "What do my tricks mean to her? It's just a trick, but Fortunately, you can compete with her, otherwise I would have to fall on her."
Lu Qingtang nodded, "I probably understand. Let's start from this coral and let her suffer the consequences."
Concubine Shu immediately looked at her with bright eyes, "Lu Xiaotang, do you have an idea?"
Lu Qingtang hooked his fingers at her and whispered his plan in her ear. Concubine Shu listened carefully, and she seemed to have some idea.
Then, Concubine Shu asked her again, "I have a question to ask you, but I just don't know how to ask it."
"Let's just talk about who is going to fight." Lu Qingtang was peeling oranges with his head down, and handed some to Su Mu and Kou Dan.
She moved closer to Lu Qingtang, "Look, I bribed people on the left and right. I'm really worried that one of my people will be bribed by others one day. It's embarrassing to say this. I actually just want to Asking how you managed to keep the facial fat matter from being revealed, I can understand the two of them, but how did you control the palace officials in Longqing Palace?"
Lu Qingtang sat up straight and stuffed an orange wedge into Concubine Shu's mouth. "It's very simple. There is no girl who doesn't love skin care products. They saw the facial oil that all the concubines couldn't put down, so they naturally cherished it, and also Then you won’t fail to keep your promise to me.”
The corners of Concubine Shu's mouth twitched, "Is it that simple?"
"It's that simple!" Lu Qingtang nodded, "In fact, it's a kind of bribery, but it doesn't use money."
Concubine Shu nodded, "I understand, Lu Xiaotang! But if I give Concubine Ning face cream in public on the day of the housewarming party, wouldn't that mean that everyone knows about it? Isn't it possible that everyone in the harem will be offended? It’s not good to say that we have good things only for our own family, and others can only watch.”
"Of course we can't give her any advantage!" Lu Qingtang looked at Concubine Shu with a smile, "Then please help me with your big mouth to publicize something, let everyone know it, and let everyone have it! Moreover, from Taiyuan Hospital If something happens to her, she can’t rely on me!"
Concubine Shu curled her lips, "Well, you Lu Xiaotang, you are still a sister, and now you start to use me!"
The next day, the facial grease made by Lu Qingtang was spread in the harem.
All the concubines rushed to Longqing Palace to beg for help. Longqing Palace was so lively for a while that the doorsteps that had not been repaired for many years were trampled to pieces. You can't go to Longqing Palace without paying homage to the Queen Mother. Now, even the Queen Mother is exhausted.
Some concubines went to the emperor to act coquettishly and "complain" because they didn't get the facial cream made by Lu Qingtang. In order to coax his delicate concubine, the emperor personally ordered Chen Bangzu from the Imperial Hospital to ask Lu Qingtang for advice on how to make the exact same facial cream.
Therefore, in the past two days, Lu Qingtang had to run to Tai Hospital whenever he had nothing to do.
The Taiyuan Hospital was extremely busy, everyone was busy making facial fat. Lu Qingtang held his waist and paced around, pointing out the weight and proportion from time to time.
Su Mu was running around behind Chen Feiyang. Inadvertently, the two of them bumped into each other and turned around, making both of them blush.
When Kou Dan saw this, he immediately told Lu Qingtang. Lu Qingtang shook his head helplessly, "Kou Dan, this is the sour taste of love. You should also try it."
"I don't. It doesn't look like fun at all. It's better to serve the princess." Kou Dan flattened his mouth and smiled in his eyes, as if he was shy.
Lu Qingtang patted her on the shoulder, "You have recovered your health now, and I have even helped you remove the scars. You can be bolder. There is nothing wrong with talking about love, and I didn't say that you must get married."
Koudan couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Although what the princess said makes sense, it's really strange, but where is the blame?"
"It's my fault for talking. Okay, I won't say anything anymore." The corners of Lu Qingtang's mouth twitched. She really shouldn't have said this to Kou Dan.
Then, she asked Kou Dan to look after her, went to the inner room to find Chen Bangzu, and took Concubine Ning's usual medicine case to look at. She wanted to see what drugs Ning Fei was allergic to so that she could use them to manipulate her.
As expected, she was not disappointed. Concubine Ning was actually sensitive to Artemisia annua, which clears away heat and detoxifies, and would break out in drug rashes all over her body after using it.
She knows what to do!
Within two days, with the joint efforts of the Tai Hospital, all the facial fat for the harem was done.
Sure enough, as Lu Qingtang guessed, except for Qingquan Palace, all the concubines in the harem went to the Taiyuan Hospital to receive their own share of facial fat.
Concubine Ning hates herself so much, so naturally she also hates the things she makes. Even if they have her own ideas, she is afraid to avoid them.
This is better, and it can force her to accept facial fat in front of everyone.
In a blink of an eye, the day came when Concubine Xian held a housewarming party, and all the concubines, including Concubine Ning, also arrived.
All the flowers in the harem gathered in Chenghua Palace. Lu Qingtang and Concubine Shu were sitting in the corner, chatting and observing everyone's praise of the virtuous concubine.
Even Concubine Shu couldn't help but admire her, "Lu Xiaotang, Sister Xianbi is really extraordinary. I have seen her eight out of the past ten days. This is amazing."
Lu Qingtang waved his hand, "Concubine Shu, can we be more reserved? I am the daughter-in-law. Is it appropriate for you to talk about these topics with me?"
Concubine Shu immediately covered her mouth, "I forgot, I only treat you as my sister."
"Sisters can't do it either. These bed curtains matters..." Lu Qingtang lowered his voice as he spoke, "Can't we talk about it some other time when the two of us are together?"
Concubine Shu chuckled and nodded immediately in agreement.
