Chapter 99 Beauty Pill
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of palace maids filed out. The three in front each held a pot of chrysanthemums and slowly walked to the imperial concubine's lower body.
The ladies' eyes were immediately attracted, and they were amazed.
The pot on the left is Green Cloud. The leaves of this kind of chrysanthemum are larger in the middle, the flowers are old green, the petals are deeply split, and the outer petals are slightly drooping, like colorful clouds. They are white in the green and bright green.
The pot on the right is a ten-foot-long hanging curtain. The petals are spread out in all directions like a window curtain. Each petal is like a thin line, with hooks and roundness like a ball.
The one in the middle is Phoenix Zhenyu, which is also the most blooming one. The flower shape is in the shape of a dancing ring. It has medium-thin tube petals. The outer petals are brown-red and the base is yellow. The stretched petals look like Like a phoenix spreading its wings.
Not only are these three pots of chrysanthemums in good condition, any one of them is extremely precious.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, she was indeed a concubine who was as doting as the queen. Many ladies praised the chrysanthemum, and some of them even said that the concubine was more delicate than flowers.
The scene was very lively for a while. The imperial concubine looked towards Shen Qingyun and asked with a smile: "I heard that it was very lively here just now. I don't know what they are talking about, so I want to tell you. "
Shen Qingyun stood up and bowed: "Replying to your Majesty, the ladies saw that I have fair skin, so they are discussing beauty and skin care. It's just that the Imperial Concubine is very talented, so I'm afraid I won't be able to use it."
The imperial concubine covered her mouth and smiled, what she said sounded nice, but the women in the harem relied on their beauty. Naturally, they paid more attention to maintaining their appearance than ordinary people. How could they not be interested, so she asked unintentionally: "It doesn't matter, I, my concubine." We invite everyone here just for the fun and excitement. I don’t know what Miss Shen’s experience is, why don’t you share it with me.”
Shen Qingyun also smiled slightly and told the story about the Beauty Pill again.
"Is this elixir really so effective? What side effects will it have?" The imperial concubine smiled kindly, her eyes were heavy, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking.
Shen Qingyun tilted his head, as if recalling his feelings during this period, and then said: "To report back to you, there are really no adverse reactions. It's just that after taking the elixir, I will be thirstier than usual and need more Drink some water and nothing else.”
It's just drinking more water. It's not a big deal. Everyone was eager to try it.
There is no way, Shen Qingyun's absolutely beautiful and flawless face is the biggest attraction, and these noble ladies also hope to become more beautiful and whiter.
Having achieved what he wanted, Shen Qingyun stopped showing off. Until the end of the banquet, he ate snacks, drank tea, and occasionally chatted with the ladies beside him.
There are noble girls who want to express themselves in front of the noble concubine, so they write poems and paintings with chrysanthemums as the theme, and show off their talents.
Among them, the poem by Ji Qianxue, the daughter of the Taifu, was the best and came out on top. The imperial concubine immediately rewarded her with the ten-foot-long hanging curtain, which made many noble ladies jealous.
The imperial concubine saw everyone's performance in her eyes. After the banquet was over and the crowd dispersed, her eyes revealed their usual sparkle.
The eldest maid on the side asked: "My dearest lady, is there anyone you like?"
The imperial concubine leaned lazily on the beauty's couch: "There are a few princes that I can choose from. There are a few others that he can use. By the way, let's go and find out about the beauty pill. "
"Yes, empress."
...
On the day of the banquet, Shen Qingyun had already let the news about Beauty Pill out, and by the second day, many ladies and ladies were inquiring about it.
News in the palace secretly spread very quickly. In addition to the noble concubine, there were many other concubines and even the queen, who also started to pay attention.
Within two days the store opened and it was called Liyan Pavilion.
It was very popular on the day it opened, and the servants and maids from each shop were already waiting at the door, clamoring to buy beauty pills.
The lady in charge of the store signaled everyone to be quiet, holding a unique blue and white porcelain vase in her hand and introducing: "This beauty pill is a special product of my Liyan Pavilion. It has the effect of whitening and nourishing the skin. The quantity is limited, one hundred taels per bottle."
"What, this is too expensive." Immediately a maid shouted, what should I do? The money I brought was not enough, how could I explain it to the lady when I got back?
Another maid at the back whispered: "If you can't afford it, forget it, and give me your seat quickly."
The lady in charge smiled and said: "We also have many other products in our store, including those for skin beautification, scar removal, and some high-quality rouge and gouache. The prices are very reasonable. You can take a look according to your own needs. "
But even though a bottle of Beauty Pill sold for a high price of one hundred taels, the supply was still in short supply and it was sold out on the same day.
Even later, many people wanted to buy it for hundreds of taels of silver.
As for those who didn't have enough money or arrived late, many could only look at other items in the store. There were also quite a few that looked good at rouge and gouache and bought them back to try.
In this day alone, Shen Qingyun made a lot of money.
