Feng Qiongzhu turned her head and looked at them without explaining. She just asked them to go back to the kitchen to help Aunt Li, while she went back to her room to rest.

Back in the room, sitting in front of the dressing table, her cold fingers stroked the hairpin on the table intentionally or unintentionally, staring at herself in the bronze mirror. Although she had tried hard to take a lot of tonics in the past two days, her complexion only improved a little bit, and she was still thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.

It seems that I still need to continue nourishing my body and strengthening my constitution, otherwise I will not be able to withstand the pain of bone reshaping.

In her previous life, Feng Qiongzhu studied medicine from a ghost doctor. Although she had never experienced the pain of reshaping her bones, she had witnessed with her own eyes an adult man who died by banging his head against a wall because he could not endure the pain. This scene was deeply imprinted in her heart.

She couldn't be like that person, so she decided to increase the dosage of Corydalis yanhusuo, even if it meant risking going crazy. Feng Qiongzhu secretly made up her mind that she would get through this no matter what the cost.

"Girl, come out and eat." A voice interrupted her thoughts.

"I'll be right out." Feng Qiongzhu quickly changed her clothes, washed the dust off her face, and simply tied her hair into a bun with a hairpin.

She looked at the writing in the bronze mirror. Although she was still thin, the red dress embroidered with rose flowers made her look more lively.

She seemed to see the handwriting of the person who loved red clothes in her previous life.

When she walked out of the room, Nuanchun's eyes lit up: "Girl, you look so good in red!"

She circled around Feng Qiongzhu, carefully admiring the roses on her clothes: "This flower is embroidered so beautifully. I have made clothes myself before, but they were not as good as this."

"Nuanchun, it turns out you can embroider?" Feng Qiongzhu asked curiously.

"Well, I know a little bit." Nuanchun answered modestly, "I couldn't afford clothes before, so I bought cloth and made them myself. Later, when I followed the prince, a nanny taught me a little bit."

Feng Qiongzhu smiled and said, "Then Nuanchun, please embroider a cloth bag for me to hold the silver needles, and use the rose flowers on this dress as the pattern."

"I got a pair of silver needles from old man Du today, and I just happened to need a cloth bag for them," he boasted to Nuanchun in a low voice with a proud look on his face.

Nuanchun urged, "Girl, let's go and have dinner, or all the good food will be gone. When I first came, I saw Old Man Du was already sitting there."

"What? That old man is already there? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She said anxiously, with a worried look on her face, "It's over... He must have snatched away all the delicious food. What should I do with my poor little body~"

After saying that, she rushed to the hall.

Nuanchun looked at her back, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly followed her.

Before entering the hall, I heard Old Man Du and Yun Kaizhou talking in low voices.

"Old man, are you talking bad about people behind their backs?" Feng Qiongzhu laughed and scolded Old Man Du.

Her voice caught Yun Kaizhou's attention, and his eyes moved slightly.

Looking at the little girl in the red skirt in front of me, although she is still thin, she looks radiant after being taken care of by Aunt Li in the past two days.

She exudes a refined and elegant temperament. Her every frown and smile is full of charming charm.

Maybe it is true that beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. Maybe this bean sprout will really be a rare beauty when it grows up.

Feng Qiongzhu noticed that Yun Kaizhou was looking at her, and she felt a little confused. She hesitated for a moment, then said with a half-chuckle, "What's the matter? You two just came down from the mountain and gathered together to whisper. What good can come of that? You're not trying to get something out of me, are you? You don't look like good people now."

Yun Kaizhou explained: "Mr. Du is not saying bad things about you. We are discussing whether the herb Corydalis can be used in the army. Does Miss Feng have any suggestions?"

"Oh? As a noble son of royal blood, do you also care about the welfare of the soldiers in the army?"

Feng Qiongzhu had personally experienced the battlefield in her previous life, and she never refused any opportunity to make the lives of soldiers better. No matter what the person's purpose was in joining the army, as long as it could help the people in the frontier military camps, she would do her best to help.

Feng Qiongzhu took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Yanhusuo is not very effective for the wounds of soldiers in the barracks. On the battlefield, most soldiers' wounds are severe and fatal, such as broken arms and legs, or even punctured intestines and stomachs. Yanhusuo's effect is too slow to quickly relieve pain, and you may miss the opportunity for treatment. I suggest you use the fruit of the flower you picked today as medicine."

"But be careful, the medicinal properties of the fruit are too strong, so be sure to carefully control the dosage, otherwise it may cause side effects and easily make people crazy. I have not tried the specific dosage, so you need to study it yourself, old man."

Old Man Du nodded: "Okay, I will continue my research. What we collected today may not be enough. I plan to take people up the mountain to collect some tomorrow. Anyway, it will take two days to dry and prepare it before it can be used as medicine."

Yun Kaizhou didn't reply to Old Man Du's words, but turned to look at Feng Qiongzhu: "I heard that you turned Old Man Du's pharmacy upside down today, and even picked out herbs specifically for beauty and skin care? Why are you brewing this for me? Do you think I'm not good-looking?"

Feng Qiongzhu was stunned by the question. She stared at Yun Kaizhou with wide eyes, her heart full of confusion. Was he laughing at her for being ugly?

She pursed her lips, frowned, and showed a pitiful expression on her face: "Prince, how can you say that? What's wrong with a girl wanting to be beautiful? You say I'm ugly all day long, so I naturally have to use some herbs to improve it. What's more, you have already taken my treasure map, so what's wrong with me using some herbs?"

"Alright, alright, stop pretending. I'm getting goose bumps all over my body. Stop pretending like that." Yun Kaizhou raised his hands in surrender and said helplessly, "I didn't say you used it wrong, just don't mess up the pharmacy."

Old Man Du interrupted and said, "My Lord, don't be fooled by her pitiful appearance. She used your entire box of pearls! I found out that she ground a whole box of the finest pearls into powder!"

"Pearls? My box of fine pearls that I was going to use as gifts? All ground into powder?" Yun Kaizhou's expression froze, and it was obvious that he also felt heartbroken.

Feng Qiongzhu explained guiltily: "I got those pearls from An Qing. He brought a box for me to choose from. I picked the smaller ones in the box, which were of slightly lower quality."

Yun Kaizhou sighed: "Use them if you want. The remaining pearls are all yours. I'll ask An Qing to deliver them to your room later."
