In ancient society, communication was underdeveloped, which was both a bad thing and a good thing.
This time, Long Chen revealed his identity and sneaked into the palace. He only put on a little makeup and his appearance didn't change much. However, Concubine Li and the others couldn't recognize him, and they regarded Long Chen as a miracle doctor.
"Before entering the palace, I inquired about my empress, and specially made a facial cream that can be applied on the face to remove scars."
"Moreover, I even found someone to try it, and it is indeed effective."
As he said that, Long Chen picked up the porcelain jar and placed it on the table.
"Snow."
Concubine Li glanced at the maid next to her.
The palace maid named Xue'er immediately opened the lid and smelled a fragrant smell, and there was solidified fat inside.
"Your Majesty, she looks a bit like Yu Yanshuang."
Xueer held up the porcelain jar and showed it to Concubine Li.
Concubine Li frowned slightly and said, "Is this the same as the jade cream made by Long Chengen?"
Long Chen asked the Ministry of Industry to make a jade face cream, specially designed for women to whiten and nourish their skin. Concubine Li also bought it.
Concubine Li saw that this face cream was very similar to Yu Yanshuang, so she said so.
Long Chen immediately paid his respects: "Ms. Mingjian, the small one is different from the Yuyan Cream. The small one uses beef marrow, sake, cloves, patchouli, and artemisia as the main ingredients, plus some scar-removing medicine. It only needs morning and night.
Applying it on the face will make the skin on the face as smooth as a chicken, which can be broken by blowing, and the scars will be eliminated naturally.”
Concubine Li was slightly surprised and said: "Can a bomb be broken by blowing it?"
It was the first time she heard such words, and thinking about that baby-like skin, it was really vivid.
"It takes two days to see results, and one month to achieve great results."
Long Chen's words made Concubine Li a little excited.
She serves the king with her beauty. Although she is not very young, she is not little anxious about her appearance.
If you can be as good as a chicken and break it with a ball, you can continue to be favored by Shi Le.
"Give me a try."
Concubine Li sat up straight and immediately wanted to try the effect.
However, the palace maid Xue'er advised: "Madam, this thing comes from outside the palace. You can't just use it. You have to test whether it is poisonous."
There are too many poisons in the palace, and things that don't pass through your hands may have problems.
Long Chen immediately bowed and said, "Young ones can boil the facial fat in the palace. It only takes half a month to complete."
Long Chen deliberately told the time for a long time to make Concubine Li not want to wait.
Sure enough, Concubine Li said: "Just use a silver needle to test the poison."
Xueer immediately took a silver needle and pierced it into the facial fat. After confirming that there was no change in the silver needle, she said, "It's not poisonous."
Long Chen smiled apologetically and said: "This sister, the younger one has a lot of brains, dare to poison me here."
Concubine Li said: "Little plum, you put it on me."
Long Chen thought to himself: You gave me the name of a eunuch so quickly?
"I obey, little one."
Concubine Li was sitting upright, and Long Chen took out a pinch of facial grease from the porcelain jar and applied it to Concubine Li's face.
On the surface, Long Chen looked intently and carefully painted Concubine Li's face, but secretly he was condescending and saw a touch of snow-white under her bellyband through the gauze clothes.
After applying it carefully, Long Chen specifically asked: "My dear, you need to take a good rest when applying this facial fat, the effect will be better."
Concubine Li nodded slightly and said softly: "It makes sense, help me go back to rest."
Xue'er immediately helped Concubine Li and walked to her bedroom. Long Chen and the old eunuch respectfully saw off Concubine Li.
After walking a few steps, Concubine Li suddenly stopped and said, "Little Li looks good, just stay here in this palace and become a eunuch."
The old eunuch immediately replied: "I understand, little plum, why don't you thank me yet!"
Long Chen was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "My Majesty, I know that I am traveling around practicing medicine and don't want to be a eunuch."
Being a eunuch actually doesn't matter, it's not like I haven't been one before.
It's just that Long Chen couldn't agree so readily, he had to act reluctantly, so that it would look normal.
Concubine Li slowly turned around, looked at Long Chen coldly, and said, "If you don't want to stay, then you will only die."
Xueer immediately scolded: "You put facial makeup on my empress and still want to leave?"
The old eunuch kept winking at Long Chen, asking him to stop talking.
Concubine Li is a noble concubine of Xixia. Not everyone can touch her. If Long Chen touches her face, he must stay in the palace and is not allowed to leave.
If you want to leave, it can only be a corpse.
Long Chen pretended to be frightened and immediately bowed: "Little one...I am willing to stay in the palace to thank you for your grace."
Concubine Li nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's quite sensible. Eunuch Li, please give Xiao Lizi a separate residence, right here in this palace."
The old eunuch immediately bowed and said, "Old slave, take your orders."
Long Chen immediately bowed and said, "Xie, my dear empress."
After Concubine Li left, the old eunuch stood up and said, "Little Li, just stay in this palace peacefully. It will be more comfortable for you than wandering outside."
"You are serving Concubine Li, the most favored concubine of the king. If you serve the master well, your kindness is indispensable."
Long Chen whispered: "Father, if I had known this, I wouldn't have come even if I killed you."
"The imperial concubine is destined to die, and there is nothing I can do about it. I ask my father-in-law to take more care of her in the future."
The old eunuch said very politely: "Don't be afraid, little Lizi. As long as you can be appreciated by the empress, glory and wealth are waiting for you. When the time comes, our family will still have to rely on you."
This is how it is in the palace, whoever is appreciated by the master will have a higher status.
As soon as Long Chen came to the palace, Concubine Li kept him. The old eunuch knew that Long Chen had a good future, so he sold him first.
"What are you talking about, father-in-law? This little one is new here, so please take care of me."
Long Chen had been hanging around in the palace for a long time and knew that this old eunuch was not a good bird.
If you say this, you might be setting a trap secretly.
"Don't be polite. Come with me. Your Majesty has spoken and I will arrange a place for you to stay here. This is a gift."
The old eunuch immediately found Aunt Gong Zhengniu here and arranged a room right next to the palace maid in the courtyard.
"Okay, if you have anything to do, just tell Aunt Niu. If you serve your empress well, you will be rich."
The old eunuch smiled and went out, and Long Chen kept thanking him.
After they left, Aunt Niu looked at Long Chen carefully and asked with some surprise: "When did you get clean? Why don't you look like a eunuch?"
It's the same question again, saying that Long Chen is too tall and strong and doesn't have the femininity of a eunuch.
"Auntie, the little one is a celestial eunuch and has no pure body."
Hearing that he was a heavenly eunuch, Aunt Niu suddenly nodded and said: "I see, a heavenly eunuch is indeed more like a man. You are good at telling fortunes and will avoid getting that knife."
Long Chen secretly thought in his heart: How can a born eunuch have such a good life? What kind of logic?
"Yes, I heard that the knife hurt."
Long Chen agreed.
Aunt Niu said: "The pain is secondary. Many people can't survive the knife and die."
Long Chen looked surprised and asked: "Will he still die?"
Aunt Niu waved her hand as if it was commonplace and said: "How many people die in the cleansing room every year? It's not easy to make ends meet these days. There are many people who are willing to be eunuchs."
"Since it is your Majesty's decree, you should stay here. Your clothes must be changed to avoid misunderstandings."
"You also need to clean up your body. Don't bring any illness into the palace."
With that said, Aunt Niu came over with two sets of clothes of Xixia eunuchs.
Long Chen took the clothes and asked, "Auntie, where should I wash them?"
Aunt Niu pointed to a short distance away and said, "That's the bathroom. We all wash there. Didn't they go there too?"
Several palace maids carried clothes and walked to the bathroom. Long Chen said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Auntie, should I wash it with them?"
Aunt Niu sneered: "Little Lizi, what are you afraid of as a eunuch? They don't dislike you, so go ahead."
Long Chen pretended to be embarrassed and said: "That's it...okay."
Sure enough, the emperor's harem is paradise, with countless concubines and maids.
