The Evil King's First-Class Concubine

Chapter 145 Disfigured You
"Miss, what did that girl mean just now? Can she heal your face?"

The maid Xiaolu opened her mouth in a daze, with an ecstatic look on her face, could the young lady's face be saved?

"I don't know either." Guo Yuxiang shook his head, looking at the slender figure that was fading away with a puzzled expression.Will Chu Man really become ugly? What does Miss Xie mean?
Just when the master and servant were hesitating, a beautiful woman who still had a charm came over with a few maids.Seeing Guo Yuxiang, the beautiful woman immediately went up to greet her, and said with concern: "Xiang'er, what are you doing standing here? Mother has been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Ma'am, just now a girl said that she can cure Miss's face!" Little Lu couldn't hold back her words, and immediately explained what happened just now in a few words.Guo Yuxiang would never hide anything from Mrs. Guo, so he told the ins and outs in a soft voice.

"In a few days, mother will go to the Chu family to inquire about the news. If something really happened to the girl of the Chu family, it means that the girl may have some skills. Regardless of whether her words are true or not, mother will take you to see it herself! "

Mrs. Guo pondered for a while, then slowly opened her mouth and made a decision.

After a month of careful preparation, Paxiagong and Yueyantang finally opened. Xie Xinyue followed suit and distributed leaflets in the streets and alleys of the capital long before the opening. The novel sales model also attracted a group of people's curiosity.

With the help of Mu Yunshen, on the day of the opening of Boxia Gong, although he himself was not present, he invited some of his good friends, that is, those second-generation nobles to come to support him.

In the spacious and bright hall, rectangular tables and stools are neatly arranged, separated into individual cubicles by exquisite screen shelves, and various menus are placed on the shelves for people to choose at will.This is only the layout of the first floor, which distinguishes it from other restaurants.

On the second floor are really separate elegant rooms, a total of four rooms, dedicated to receiving distinguished guests.Different from the cubicle downstairs, the table here is a huge round table. After the food is served, you can turn the table with your hands and turn your favorite dishes in front of you for tasting.

In addition to boiled hot pot and medicinal food, Xie Xinyue also cooked up a special dish - spicy dry pot.Dry pot chicken, duck, fish, rabbit, shrimp and other dishes are available.After all, it is early spring now, and the weather is getting warmer, so the hot pot market may not be so good.The dry pot soup has less taste and more flavor.

As a foodie, Xie Xinyue is barely a half-cook.However, under the arrangement of Housekeeper Hao, she bought a few cooks with excellent skills from Guan Ya, and demonstrated the steps of the menu recipe several times, and they got started quickly.After all, it is a professional grade, and the taste is much better than that of her half-baked.

The scent of the gate of the Paxia Temple wafted far away, attracting a large number of gluttons. People put food first, and the capital is full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and there is no shortage of money.There were also pre-publicity and special guests. At one time, there was a crowd of people at the Diaoxia Temple, and the guests came like a cloud.

In contrast, Yueyantang seemed particularly deserted. After all, ordinary women in boudoirs seldom go out, and they would seek a doctor to enter the mansion when they were sick.Moreover, Yueyantang didn't distribute leaflets everywhere, after all, it was a matter of women's privacy, if they were to distribute leaflets with great fanfare, it would definitely make the world think that this shop is not a serious place.

Xie Xinyue had expected this result a long time ago, and Xie Xinyue was not surprised. Yueyan Hall needs to be operated slowly, and it must not be as lively as the Paoxia Temple at present.

This year's spring floods in the South burst dikes, causing a lot of casualties, countless fertile fields were submerged, and people were even displaced.Emperor Xingwen immediately arranged for his courtiers to discuss disaster relief matters, and finally decided that the fifth prince would come forward to take relief silver and food and go to the south to take care of the disaster situation in person.

Because the disaster situation is not particularly serious, once this matter is done well, it will have a good reputation among the people. The fifth prince used the fact that the prince had no heirs before, and successfully let the emperor entrust him with this task. One can imagine the pride.

With the fifth prince leading a large army to leave the capital, the draft of the East Palace was also put on the agenda, and women of all ages from all the aristocratic families participated in the draft.Apart from the crown princess, there are only three side rooms in the East Palace, and none of them are very favored. The highest rank is only the fourth-rank Liangyuan.Therefore, the ladies of every family are gearing up for the only second-ranked third-rank concubine Liangdi.

The aristocratic families and the common people in the capital have a strict hierarchy. The place where the dignitaries live is a specially planned area, which is close to the surroundings of the imperial alley and radiates in the imperial city.The Guo family and the Chu family are two great aristocratic families living next to each other, and the distance between the two mansions is only tens of meters.

"Ma'am, today is the third imperial physician to leave the Chu Residence. The one who left just now is Imperial Physician Qiu who is best at treating rashes in the imperial hospital. Our lady invited him to see the doctor before!"

Inside Guo's mansion, Mrs. Guo heard the servant's report, and immediately ordered: "Quickly go and stop Imperial Physician Qiu, and say that Xiang'er's face has been itchy recently, let Imperial Physician Qiu come and have a look!"

Since returning from the Gospel Temple that day, Mrs. Guo began to pay attention to every move of the Chu family.Mrs. Guo was also worried about her daughter's appearance.As long as there is a little bit of hope, she doesn't want to give up.

"Prince Qiu, what a coincidence today. I was just about to ask someone to invite you to the palace, but I didn't expect you to be outside, which saved me a lot of trouble." Mrs. Guo said politely, and welcomed Imperial Physician Qiu in with a smile. .

"I heard that you came from the Chu family. I don't know, but what happened?" Imperial doctor Qiu has been to Guo's residence countless times this year, and he has been familiar with it for a long time. The momentum is also skyrocketing.When she spoke so directly, Imperial Physician Qiu couldn't help but answer.

"To be honest, the third lady of the Chu family has red bumps all over her body for some reason. The officer was invited to treat Miss Chu's illness, but the symptoms seem to be rubella, but the medicine doesn't work , The lower officials are also powerless."

Imperial Physician Qiu smiled wryly. Although he was the best at this aspect of treatment, the symptoms of the third lady of the Chu family persisted for a long time. He had tried his best, but what he got in return was a scolding from Master Chu.It is estimated that from now on, he will never visit the door again.

"Oh, it turns out that's the case. No wonder Mr. Chu is anxious. It's about to choose Liang Di for the crown prince. Miss Chu was originally a candidate for the election, but now she's so tired that she missed out on a great marriage. Who cares?" I can't stand it."

Mrs. Guo made no secret of her gloating. On the surface, the Guo family and the Chu family are quite harmonious, but Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Chu are very at odds. They used to be rivals in the boudoir, and now they have a daughter. Compete in secret.When her Xiang'er developed those abscesses, Mrs. Chu brought her daughter to the door and ridiculed her for a while, and the angry Mrs. Guo still holds the grudge in her heart.

Doctor Qiu smiled awkwardly, naturally he didn't dare to answer Madam Guo's words, and rewarded him with some money, Madam Guo then called her daughter over.

"What? Chu Manzhen, is she really disfigured?"

Guo Yuxiang couldn't believe it, his beautiful eyes opened wide.

"Of course, Imperial Physician Qiu said it himself, and it can't be wrong to keep it. Since Imperial Physician Qiu can't cure her, it means that the girl of the Chu family must be hopeless. The members of the Chu family are probably jumping in anger!"

Although Imperial Physician Qiu was the least powerful in the Imperial Hospital, he was the only expert in this field. At first, Guo Yuxiang was still unable to find Imperial Physician Qiu, and he almost gave up in the end.

After all, it hurt his face. At the time when he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, Guo Yuxiang wiped everything on his face, but it turned out to be more serious, and almost really disfigured his appearance.Since then, Mrs. Guo dared not give her daughter the ointment prescribed by ordinary doctors.

Tomorrow is the day to send the beautiful girl into the palace. In the Chu family, only Chu Manzhen is the only daughter of the right age.If you miss this draft, you really don't have a chance.However, the Chu family did that to win the relationship with the prince. For Madam Guo, she was not at all willing to let her daughter enter the palace as a concubine.

"So, Miss Xie really did it?" Guo Yuxiang and Chu Man really didn't deal with each other, so they didn't feel sympathy at all.Thinking of what Miss Xie said that day, her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously touched her face with one hand.

"Whether it's true or not, Mother is going to take you to have a try!" Mrs. Guo is going all out this time, her daughter is about to grow up, and with such a face, how can she get married in the future!Although she didn't mind raising her daughter for a lifetime, she didn't want to delay her life either.

Besides, with the power of their Guo family, if the woman surnamed Xie dares to do anything wrong, Mrs. Guo has a lot of means to make her unable to bear it!
They sent someone to find out what Zha Yueyan Tang was, and after a while, a woman came back to report to Mrs. Guo.

"Ma'am, Yue Yan Tang is a shop that has just opened recently. The old slave went up to inquire about it, and it is dedicated to treating women. The old slave is also half-aware of beauty care and treatment of gynecological diseases. But the shop The furnishings inside are extraordinarily unique, and the things they sell are all kinds of strange things. The shopkeeper also gave the old slave some kind of trial-sized skin rejuvenation and whitening cream. The old slave rubbed a little on his hands. Look, the effect is amazing. Startled the old slave."

The mother-in-law stretched out her hands, which were yellow and rough due to frequent work.It's just that one of the old woman's hands is obviously a lot whiter now, and it feels smoother to the touch. Compared with the other hand, it's hard to believe that it belongs to the same person.

"Oh? Is it so amazing? Give it to Mrs. Ben to try."

Mrs. Guo opened the small porcelain bottle curiously, and a burst of refreshing and pleasant fragrance came, which made people sniff their noses.I took some with my fingertips and applied it on the back of my hand, and it was quickly absorbed by the skin.Mrs. Guo was well pampered, and her hands were kept white and tender, which naturally did not have the obvious effect of that woman.However, the skin does feel a lot softer to the touch and looks hydrated.

"Mom, how are you doing?"

"Xiang'er, after lunch, let's go to Yueyan Hall together."

A gorgeous carriage slowly stopped at the intersection of Ping'an Lane, and as the door was opened, a beautiful woman and a veiled girl came out.

"Yueyantang, this is the place."

Mrs. Guo got out of the carriage with Guo Yuxiang, and there was a sign hanging at the entrance of the Yueyan Hall, which read "Ladies enter, men stop"; there were two beautiful little girls standing at the door, seeing someone coming , A sweet smile appeared on his face immediately.
