The Eighth Wise King became addicted to eavesdropping on the silly princess' thoughts

Chapter 176: Entering the Palace to Give Gifts

Luo Li brought dozens of packages of simple toilet paper and a box of expensive perfume, shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste and other items to the palace to give gifts to the ladies.

The power to manage the six palaces returned to Empress Mingde, who entertained the silly princess who came to give gifts in the Cining Palace.

Several concubines sat and chatted with the Empress in the Cining Palace. Everyone has the bad habit of currying favor with the powerful, especially the women in the inner garden of the imperial palace, which is full of bloody cruelty, coldness, ruthlessness, and intrigue. If they want to be rich and prosperous and keep their lives, they must know how to judge the situation and adjust the patrons they can cling to in time.

After Li Xianfei fell out of favor, Empress Mingde, who regained power, became the focus of the harem concubines. Moreover, compared with the arrogant and ruthless Li Xianfei, the dignified, gentle, and kind-hearted Empress was much easier to get along with.

After Luo Li greeted all the ladies one by one, the Queen Mother smiled and asked the palace maid to give Princess Qin a seat. She also told the palace maid to serve all kinds of fresh fruits to Princess Qin, showing how warmly she entertained the silly princess.

"Princess Qin, your perfumes and soaps are very useful. I like them very much.

What are these packets of paper used for?" The Queen asked curiously, looking at the inconspicuous packets of paper.

Luo Li put down the melon she was chewing and smiled!

"Empress, these papers I made are really good stuff.

I call the paper made with special technology toilet paper, which is used to wipe the buttocks after going to the toilet. Women can use this during their menstrual period, which is also very comfortable and hygienic.

Ladies, you can try it out. If you find it suitable, I will be responsible for your toilet paper from now on."

Having lost the power to manage the six palaces, Concubine Li Xian, who had just regained her freedom, was no longer arrogant. She sat next to the Empress obediently. She was moved when she heard the words.

[This silly princess has come up with something to make a lot of money again? I have to find a way to get a stake in it. ]

Concubine Li Xian immediately said with a smile: "What Princess Qin made is definitely useful. Queen, please keep a few more packs to try!"

He turned to the silly princess and smiled, "Princess Qin, come with me to Shouning Palace later. I have some freshly made snacks for you to try."

[Humph! Concubine Li is daydreaming again. As soon as she took out the toilet paper, she could smell the stink of money. The King of Qin said something very appropriate: his own money is like dirt, and he cannot let the greedy Concubine Li take a bite whenever she wants.]

Luo Li hurriedly smiled and declined: "Thank you for your kindness, Concubine Li Xian. I have to go to Yayan Pavilion to give gifts to my mother today. I will go to taste the snacks in your palace another day."

Seeing that the silly princess was so disrespectful and rude, Concubine Li's smiling face suddenly turned cold!

Empress Mingde glanced at her with dissatisfaction. Concubine Li quickly lowered her head, picked up the teacup, and hid her thoughts.

The other ladies were all obsessed with the perfumes, shampoos and other things in their hands. They praised the filial piety of the Princess of Qin one after another, but no one cared about those insignificant pieces of paper.

After saying goodbye and leaving the Cining Palace, Luo Li took Ruhua and Yingchun, who were waiting outside the Cining Palace, to the Yayan Pavilion in the west to give gifts to Queen Song.

Glancing at the palace maid leading the way, Ruhua asked in a low voice, "Miss, how do the ladies respond to the toilet paper? Is the advertising effect good this time?"

"Whether the advertising effect is good or not depends on the experience after trial. I can't let all the ladies go out to defecate and wipe their butts to experience it on the spot, right? Those who haven't used it yet will look down on those inconspicuous papers. Once they use it, I guarantee they will fall in love with this comfortable and hygienic toilet paper!" Luo Li said confidently.

Yingchun pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course! I used it to wipe after going to the bathroom last night...it was really soft, comfortable and cleaned really well!

Who would want to use a bamboo scraper after using this toilet paper?"

"Since I invented this toilet paper, the butts of the people in Song Dynasty will be blessed!" Luo Li boasted proudly.

Luo Li's boasting voice was a little louder, and the two palace maids leading the way in front heard it. They blushed and exchanged glances with each other, speaking rudely to the silly princess, with contempt and disdain!

The atmosphere in Yayan Pavilion was heavy and sad, and there was a hint of grief and anger on Queen Song's gloomy face!

Princess Yongqing's little face was pale and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Yesterday, Concubine Li specially sent her maid Wanrou to pass on some news to Queen Song. The candidate for the marriage to Tubo was decided at the small court meeting, and Princess Yongqing was asked to be well prepared and to consider the overall situation and go to Tubo for the marriage honestly.

After Luo Li came in to pay her respects to Queen Song, Princess Yongqing walked over to help her up, pulled her to her seat, and leaned on her sister-in-law as if she had found her backbone.

Queen Song gave a wink, and the two personal maids beside her understood and walked out, guarding the door.

"Imperial daughter-in-law, do you have a good idea that can save Yongqing?" Empress Song was unable to see her son, so she asked in desperation.

Yongqing's swollen eyes burst into tears again, and he held Luo Li's hand and sobbed, "Sister-in-law! Yongqing doesn't want to go to Tubo to marry, can you...can you think of a way?

As long as she doesn't go to the distant Tubo Kingdom and marry that barbarian prince, and can stay in the capital with her mother, Yongqing would rather become a nun and live with the green lamp and ancient Buddha for the rest of her life!"

Luo Li put her arm around Yongqing's shoulders and comforted her in a clear manner: "Yongqing, I entered the palace just for this matter!

Your royal brother and I will not sit idly by and watch you go to Tubo to marry a princess.

The King of Qin is fighting hard against the Emperor in the court! I will secretly find you a safe way.

Anyway, whoever wants to go to Tubo for marriage can go, but our Princess Yongqing will never go!"

After taking this reassurance pill, Yongqing raised his head in ecstasy and burst into laughter: "Sister-in-law, how are you going to save Yongqing?"

Upon hearing this, Queen Song's heart, which had been in a knot for the whole day, relaxed and a smile appeared on her face: "Li'er, tell me about it quickly."

Thanks to the fact that she was able to save her precious daughter, Queen Song treated her benefactor, her daughter-in-law, as if she were her precious daughter.

"Mother, Yongqing, my method will definitely prevent Yongqing from going to marry, but it requires a little risk.

If you use it improperly, you might end up with a few pockmarks on your pretty face."

Princess Yongqing said without hesitation: "Sister-in-law, as long as you don't go to Tubo to marry, let alone a few pockmarks on your face, even if you cut it with a knife, Yongqing is willing!"

"Li'er, just use whatever method you can. It's better to have a few pockmarks than to be separated from your family and spend the rest of your life in that remote, desolate and cold land of Tibet." Queen Song also spoke with a firm attitude.

Luo Li stopped talking and took Princess Yongqing to the inner room. She took out the cowpox that the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor brought back from the epidemic area in Yanzhou, increased the dosage for Yongqing several times, and implanted it in her arm.

After giving Yongqing the cowpox vaccine, Luo Li warned her, “Yongqing, I have increased the dosage several times, and your reaction will be the same as that of a patient infected with smallpox plague.

You may have a high fever and get acne on your body and face. You will suffer!

However, you have antibodies in your body, so you will never be infected with smallpox in your lifetime."

Yongqing said gratefully: "Imperial sister-in-law, I am not afraid of suffering. Thank you for your painstaking planning for Yongqing."

Luo Li patted her little face lovingly, "We are one family, so we don't have to talk behind each other's backs. You and I are family, so of course we have to protect each other with all our might."

"Sister-in-law, you finally admit that you and your brother are a family. Do you... do you live together every night?" Princess Yongqing blushed and asked the question she was concerned about.

Just like a naughty boy throwing a stone into the lake, ripples appeared in Luo Li's heart...

Two blushes flew across her pretty face, and she denied it stubbornly, "No! I don't consider Zhao Defang as a family member! I only like you, and I only consider Yongqing as a family member."

Princess Yongqing burst out laughing!

He said mischievously: "Sister-in-law, together with mother, the three of us will stick together as a family and sweep my brother out of the house like useless trash."...

The Prince of Qin, who had just finished his court session, and his wife, who had come to the palace to present gifts, returned to his palace one after another.

Sitting in Ningxin Garden and eating delicious food, the two exchanged ideas about what they had done in the palace.

To be on the safe side and avoid the emperor's suspicion of Yongqing's sudden infection with smallpox, Qin Wang Zhao Defang said to his uncle who was enjoying his meal, "Uncle, tonight we will break into the palace and vaccinate a few eunuchs and maids in the palace with cowpox vaccine, so that there will be more patients in the palace with the same symptoms as Yongqing's smallpox."

The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor suddenly became interested, stopped using his chopsticks, chewed quickly a few times, and swallowed the food in his mouth. He smiled sinisterly and cunningly: "I will vaccinate the eunuchs and palace maids around Concubine Li, and let her be confined for a while, and see how she plans to take over my master's toilet paper business?"

The more Luo Li looked at these two sinister and cunning uncle and nephew, the more she liked them.

: "Be careful when you two move, don't let them be mistaken for assassins."

"Master, don't worry! With my Ghost Hand here, visiting the Imperial Palace will be as easy and comfortable for my uncle and nephew as going home to visit." The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor boasted shamelessly.

At night, there was not a single star twinkling in the gloomy sky.

Two figures in night clothes floated into the high walls of the palace like ghosts.

Avoiding the patrolling imperial guards and the hidden palace guards, the two dark shadows found Concubine Li's Shouning Palace with familiarity.

A small bamboo tube was inserted into the open window, a wisp of smoke floated by, and several eunuchs and palace maids who were on duty at night fell asleep inside.

Two dark shadows floated in from the propped up window like ghosts. The pair of small triangular eyes revealed through the black scarves on their faces looked at the fainted palace maids and young eunuchs with sinister smiles.

The ghost-handed poison doctor generously applied the cowpox vaccine in the porcelain bottle to each shallow wound. As for whether the person being vaccinated would have a severe reaction and be left with pockmarks on his face, that was not within his consideration. …
