[Serious physical damage]
[Health value minus 10]
Ava Tan was trapped in her sea of consciousness, and could only look outside in panic like a wandering soul. She said helplessly and furiously, "What on earth is going on?"
Just a moment ago, she saw that she was too breasty !
The system sounded a little guilty: "Host, don't panic. There is a bug in the system and it was unable to supply medicine to your heart in time."
Well, she is now a complete invalid.
Ava Tan pinched his brows and said helplessly: "If this continues, I may not be able to live to become the richest man."
She slumped on the sofa in her sea of consciousness, watching Wang Rong feel her pulse through the screen, and said with some doubt: "Heart disease is the most difficult to bear, but Miss Tan has survived until now without any harm, which is really rare, as if something is protecting her heart..."
In order to uphold the principle of openness and justice, the court of Dayan was open to the public. When the people watching outside the court saw Ava Tan falling to the ground, they began to talk about the matter.
Nathan Li glanced at the little body on the ground: "How is it?"
Wang Rong frowned and felt the pulse again with some uncertainty: "Strange, he must have fainted due to the shock, it's nothing serious."
The Second Prince's vision in recruiting people is indeed unique, and he can even make himself faint from anger.
Nathan Li waved to Zhuying beside him: "Send her back to the pawnshop."
"Yes." Zhuying came over and picked up the person on the ground and carried him out of the court.
Ava Tan was fascinated by Nathan Li's handsome face. It must be said that the cold-faced, high-powered war prince and the loyal guard were a perfect match.
There was a stir in South Street.
The Shen family has been in turmoil recently. The Concub!ne has developed dirty thoughts and is even trying to harm the eldest daughter, just to snatch the second prince's marriage.
This scandal almost implicated innocent people and was discovered by Tan Zhuangniang from South Street.
It is said that Tan Zhuangniang's makeup skills have already reached perfection, and the eldest daughter of Duke Shen has already chosen Tan Zhuangniang as her makeup maid for her wedding.
After taking the warm and nourishing sweet water recipe prescribed by Tan Zhuangniang, she felt much better today and was only looking forward to her wedding in five days.
The young lady of the Chen family transformed herself after leaving the pawnshop of the Tan family. When she went out on the street, she ran into Mr. Yin, with whom she had broken off the engagement. Mr. Yin was so surprised by her look that his eyes widened.
There was a lot of gossip in South Street, and it only took three days for the gossip to spread throughout the palace.
Millennium Palace.
The maid next to Concub!ne Shen used a wet brocade handkerchief to clean her face. She sighed quietly: "Has the emperor gone to Concub!ne De's palace again?"
The maid gently wiped her and said softly: "My queen, please take care of yourself and the little prince."
It has been just over three months since Concub!ne Shen gave birth to the little prince, but the Emperor no longer stays at the Millennium Palace. Concub!ne Shen knows that she has been too worried in recent days and often suffers from insomnia at night. Now her face is sallow and she does not look well.
There is no shortage of beauties in the harem. When this one fades, a new one will take its place.
Concub!ne Shen took the teacup and cleaned her mouth, then stroked the fine lines on her eyes in the bronze mirror: "I age so fast..."
"Have you heard of Tan Zhuangniang, Your Majesty?" The palace maid gently pressed her head.
Concub!ne Shen opened her half-closed eyes: "You mean..."
The makeup lady on South Street had become a celebrity, and there were constant rumors about her. Having lived in the palace for a long time, she had also heard the palace maids talk about her in private.
Summoning her, an orphan with a bad reputation, into the palace might cause Concub!ne De and that person to laugh at her.
The maid suggested: "It would be okay for Her Majesty to summon her to the palace to take a look."
The stars were shining brightly outside the house. The woman in a snow-white nightgown loosened her hair bun and had no intention of appreciating the scenery outside.
Ava Tan didn't care at all what others said about her. What she was most worried about now was becoming the richest man in Beijing.
These people just made her sound like a deity, but few people came to spend money with her. Ava Tan was completely at a loss.
She collapsed on the shabby little bed and sighed comfortably. Others who traveled through time became princesses who were loved by everyone and ladies from wealthy families, but she traveled through time as an orphan who had no food to eat.
Fortunately, there was no need to worry about the hut being destroyed by the autumn wind. She tucked in the corner of the quilt bitterly.
The next day.
When someone came from the palace, she was still in a daze, and had no idea how she could have any connection with the ladies in the palace.
Qing He's eyes sparkled with excitement: "The girl can enter the palace to see the queen."
Eunuch Li treated her politely and gestured to her, "Mrs. Tan, please come with us. Don't let the imperial Concub!ne wait anxiously."
The imperial palace of Dayan was even more magnificent than the Forbidden City she visited in her previous life, and could even be said to be extrAva Tangant.
The sun was shining brightly, shining through the exquisite corner tower and into the high walls. The glazed tiles were also shining brightly.
The floor tiles are made of the finest white jade. The morning sun shines on the tiles, casting a warm light. The wooden plaque on the vermilion lacquered gate has the three big words "Millennium Palace" written on it.
She had some impression of Concub!ne Shen in the Millennium Palace.
She was a famous beauty in the capital, but she was love-brained. Not only did she like the old emperor who was more than ten years older than her, but she was often mentally exhausted and ignored her son. She cried all day long and died early.
The time she traveled through the book was much earlier than what was described in the book, and the Concub!ne Shen she met now was still from ten years ago.
The young Concub!ne Shen was indescribably gentle and lovely. Her movements and behavior carried an air of nobility, and she was as quiet and graceful as a delicate flower reflected in the water. Only, this delicate flower now looked wilted and lifeless.
"Greetings, Her Majesty." Ava Tan bowed.
The Concub!ne Shen sitting at the top was only about five or six years older than her, but she looked extremely haggard. Ava Tan could guess with his eyes closed that she was probably in love again.
"Stand up and take a seat." Concub!ne Shen raised her hand, and the palace maid beside her poured her a cup of tea.
Ava Tan held the teacup in his hand. Seeing that she was silent, he spoke to break the strange silence in the palace: "What is the matter that the Imperial Concub!ne summoned me for?"
Concub!ne Shen tightened her grip on her sleeves, and the folds on her sleeves were very eye-catching: "I asked Tan Zhuangniang to come here because I want you to paint me prettier. It would be best if the emperor would like it..."
After hearing her remarks, Ava Tan didn't want to speak for a moment.
Seeing that she was slow to respond, Concub!ne Shen asked unhappily, "Does Tan Zhuangniang have any concerns?"
"That's not the case," Ava Tan put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, why don't you take care of yourself first, and when your skin condition is better, summon me to the palace. By then, I will paint a unique one for you, and I guarantee that you will be the most beautiful among all the ladies."
Concub!ne Shen put her hand on his cheek and murmured, "Is it really that unbearable to look at..."
The palace maid hurriedly tried to comfort him: "Your Majesty, listen to Tan Zhuangniang's advice and take good care of yourself first."
It was really as described in the book, Concub!ne Shen was the kind of person who was always worried about herself, and the emperor couldn't do anything about her.
Ava Tan advised: "Why don't I take care of the queen, and when her skin condition returns, the emperor will come back as well."
Hearing that the emperor would like it, Concub!ne Shen perked up a little and acted a little more obediently: "Then you come."
Ava Tan sprinkled a handful of roses into a basin of warm milk brought by the maid, found a piece of brocade as thin as a cicada's wing as a mask, soaked it in the mask and applied it on Concub!ne Shen's face.
"Your Highness, apply rose milk to your face every day. You can add some honey. This will make your face white and tender, as white as cream," Ava Tan instructed. "Don't worry about it. The more you worry, the older you will look."
The maid beside her seemed to have taken careful note of it. Ava Tan placed a cup of milk next to her and said, "Your Highness, drink a cup of honey and milk soup before going to bed every day."
Concub!ne Shen was a generous person. Ava Tan came out happily only after receiving a lot of reward money, and he was smiling like a flower all the way.
If she could get so much money every time she came, she would be willing to come every day to take care of the empress.
Eunuch Li led her to the side door. It was the Concub!ne who came towards them. He reached out and stroked the hairpin on his head that swayed with every step. "Oh, you came from the Millennium Palace. I didn't know Concub!ne Shen had such a relative. I guess birds of a feather flock together."
Ava Tan didn't remember such a person being mentioned in the book, and it seemed that his position was not very high.
An Chang looked her up and down, and Ava Tan could clearly feel that she disliked her.
This was perfectly normal. Concub!ne Shen had made countless enemies in the palace. If those ladies caught her coming out of the Millennium Palace, they would definitely treat her as Concub!ne Shen and give her a hard time.
An Changzai is a member of Defei's party and acts under the banner of Defei all the time. Eunuch Li has long been accustomed to it.
If An Changzai had not won the emperor's favor, why would Defei have taken in a mere Changzai?
"Greetings, Her Majesty." Ava Tan bowed slightly.
The maidservant beside An Chang stepped forward and shouted, "How dare you not kneel down and salute the young lady!"
Ava Tan frowned. It was true that common people had to kneel before the imperial Concub!nes, but she really didn't want to do that when someone of similar age suddenly came out and forced her to kneel.
She didn't kneel in the Millennium Palace just now, and Concub!ne Shen didn't say anything.
Evil feudal society.
Eunuch Li smiled and bowed to An Changzai: "My Lady An, this is Tan Zhuangniang from South Street, our distinguished guest specially summoned by Concub!ne Shen. It would be better for An Changzai not to delay the business."
"She is just a makeup maid, but she refuses to kneel and kowtow when she sees the imperial Concub!ne. Is Tan the makeup maid trying to despise the imperial power?" An Changzai was in a bad mood today. She came out to make things difficult for some people and had no intention of letting anyone go easily.
Eunuch Li could no longer maintain the smile on his face. An Changzai's making such a fuss was a slap in his face, and even more so in the face of the Imperial Concub!ne.
The palace maid got the signal from An Changzai and went straight forward to hold Ava Tan down, trying to force her to kneel down.
She was an orphan with no background or power. If An Changzai wanted to make things difficult for her, she would not be able to escape.
If she were to be found guilty of something wrong in the palace, she would be truly unable to protect herself.
Ava Tan slightly turned sideways to avoid the palace maid, still with a faint smile on his face: "My lady, please forgive me. Please don't bother with a sick and weak orphan like me. It's true that my body is too weak. I will kneel down."
An Chang's lips curled up slightly, and she laughed a few times: "You are quite sensible. Then kneel for three hours before leaving."
