Chapter 36
Huilan needed to fuse the spiritual honey into Huangjing Dan and add some medicinal materials to refine it again. Only in this way could she delay the old man's time.
The prince is not here tonight and will not come to the backyard in the next few days. He is a very cautious person and will not lose his reputation in details.
It was convenient for Huilan to enter the space to make pills. First, she took some spiritual spring water and put it into an earthen jar, then added eight pills of spiritual honey and Huang Jing Dan, and then added the Yangyuan flower to refine them together.
This earthen pot is the treasure of the family's water refining method. Her mother tried all her tricks to get it from her father to give it to her.
There is a magic circle under the earthen jar, and the water spirit stone is placed there. After activating the magic circle, it will run slowly, and the medicinal materials in the earthen jar will slowly condense into a paste, and the poison will be continuously discharged.
Because it is a water refining method, the temperature is low, so that the toxins and impurities can be completely discharged without losing the essence of the medicine, but the speed is very slow.
This earthen pot is a magic weapon. Generally, only one low-grade spiritual stone is enough to activate it and it will never be used up. Back then, the sisters all wanted to grab it, but she was the most talented at refining medicine, so her father gave it to her.
This medicine takes three days to refine. Once the ointment is ready, knead it into equal amounts of balls.
The medicines that mortals can use are easy to refine, do not take long, and have little effect on Huilan.
I left the space after seeing that the earthen jar was in place. There was no need to look at the jar.
After placing the medicated bath bucket, Huilan will take a marrow cleansing medicated bath again to eliminate toxins from the body. Use it alternately with the medicated bath to strengthen the body. The effect is excellent.
After repeatedly conditioning the body during this period, the body has gradually become stronger. Subsequently, I continued to nourish it with some spiritual things, and there was basically no problem.
Now the meridians need to be further strengthened to remove toxins from the body and strengthen the skin and bones of the meridians, which is also very beneficial to cultivation.
When the time was up, Huilan finished her work and opened her eyes, and saw that a layer of gray greasy substance appeared on her body again. This was the poison that had been accumulated in her body for many years.
Ding Xiang came in, changed the water, cleaned her, and dried her hair.
"Miss, you are getting more and more beautiful. Your hair is much better than before, as smooth as satin."
Huilan smiled and her hair was also a barometer of her health. When her body became stronger, her hair would become naturally black and smooth.
"How can we fight for favor if we don't look good? Now you and I are completely dependent on the prince. If I don't fight, I will end up being bullied. Do you still want to eat the cake?"
She chuckled, reminding Ding Xiang to work hard to maintain her status as a palace maid, otherwise she would be overthrown by others.
"What you said is that this slave will work hard to learn his skills."
Ding Xiang smiled and nodded.
Huilan didn't say anything else. She valued Dingxiang because she was very loyal, and if she trained her well, she would become her right-hand man.
"Have you taken all the medicine I gave you? Your health is the most important thing. I still want you to stay with me."
She gave Ding Xiang some tonics to take. Not only was she treated badly, but Ding Xiang, who accompanied her through hardships, had to regulate her body in time to avoid hidden dangers.
"Don't worry, miss. I'll eat as you told me. I just finished eating yesterday."
Ding Xiang is loyal and calm, does not ask for reasons, does not talk too much and has strong execution ability. This is the main reason why Huilan likes and wants to cultivate her.
"Well, just wait for a while and then take another course of treatment in a few days and it will be fine. This way there will be no hidden dangers."
"Yes, I will stay with you for a long time."
Ding Xiang helped her dry her hair carefully.
"Then you don't want to get married?"
Huilan closed her eyes and asked with a smile.
"Miss, I don't want to get married. To be honest, I still have my brother and sister-in-law at home to take care of my parents. It will be twenty-five years before I can get married. Even if the master has the honor to let me leave the palace early, then I don't want to.
I am a slave, how can I marry well? If my family is high, my mother-in-law looks down on my family background. If my family is low, I will rely on my dowry to get by. Why should I still serve my mother-in-law and take care of my sister-in-law?
I want to accompany my master, just to show my dignity for the first time. Let me say it shamelessly, we grew up together. I'm worried that you won't be able to take care of me when I leave. Even if I can just talk to you, it would be good.
I thought very clearly when I entered the palace. I will not marry, I can read and write most words, and I have also learned arithmetic and reading. I will learn my skills well."
After hearing her words, Huilan turned around and held her hand, "I am also very conflicted. I hope you have a good home and a happy life, but I also want you to stay with me all the time."
"Master, once I leave the palace, I will never see you again. Even if I have a grievance, you can't help me. I have really thought about it clearly. I don't want to get married. I want to stay with the master. Unless the master thinks that I am stupid.
, don’t want me anymore.”
Ding Xiang looked into her eyes and expressed her position very seriously and firmly. She had made it very clear to my mother and brother before entering the palace.
Huilan lowered her head and sighed deeply. The original owner was lucky to have a loyal girl by her side.
"Okay, if you want to get married, tell me anytime and I will find a good family for you. I won't wrong you anymore."
If you are loyal to me, I allow you to regret it at any time and seek happiness.
"I won't regret it. You don't know that all the sisters who went out regretted it.
It was fine at first, but as time went by, the color lost its freshness. Men couldn't help but go out to steal fragrances, spend women's dowry money, and endure scoldings from their mother-in-law. There are so many things to worry about. How can life in the palace be as good as that in the palace?
.
I always felt that the sky outside was freer and fresher, but after I actually went out, I realized that you have to rely on yourself for everything. No one will support you anymore. Your parents and husband’s family are counting on you to make more money, have more sons, and do more things.
Life is hard.
Especially since we have seen wealth and splendor in the palace, we have to live a hard life when we go back. This kind of gap is not acceptable to everyone, and we always feel aggrieved."
Huilan nodded in agreement, "Yes, the life of ordinary people is still quite hard, but they also have their advantages, which is peace. If you want to live a good life, you still have to rely on yourself."
"Isn't that right? Let's not talk about the distance. Let's talk about our Ding family. They also have land, shops and clan members. There are also officials in the family. Even so, they can't only provide a generous dowry.
It’s not that Madam is partial, how could it be..."
When Ding Xiang saw that Huilan's face was not so good, she immediately stopped talking in annoyance and lowered her head to apologize: "Miss, I'm sorry, I just felt wronged for you. The second lady took away your dowry."
Girls' dowries are prepared since childhood. Huilan also had a dowry, but after receiving the news that she was entering the palace, Mrs. Ding gave all her dowry to Ding Manxuan.
It was this incident that made her brother lose his temper. He would rather be beaten than admit his fault, and he even became estranged from his own mother.
But the elder brother had no fame and did not have much money, so he scraped together his own pocket money and gave her more than a hundred taels of silver.
"Dingxiang, what do you think she did for? I don't blame her for going to the palace for my brother, but she is so partial, has she really not thought about me? My grandmother is separated from her, and she doesn't regret it. Manxuan just
