Prince Yi stretched out his hand and then retracted it.

He didn't dare to look.

Since his disfigurement, he only looked in a mirror once. The ugly face in the mirror frightened him so much that he smashed the mirror to pieces on the spot and ordered that no object that could reflect a person's face was allowed in the palace.

Even buckets, water tanks and wells had to be covered.

He always closed his eyes when bathing, for fear of seeing his face reflected in the water.

Gu Qinghuai encouraged: "Don't worry, you are already very handsome now. Once you fully recover, you will be the same as before."

Prince Yi hesitated for a long time before he took the mirror with trembling hands, half-closed his eyes, and moved it towards his face little by little.

His ears appeared in the mirror first, then his eyes, then half of his face, and finally his entire face.

His eyes widened in shock.

Although his face was still red and swollen, with visible traces of stitches and covered with brown liquid medicine, his nose and mouth were intact and no longer looked like the terrifying ghost that it once was.

"Gu Qinghuai, you...you really healed my face!" Prince Yi's voice trembled.

He had always known that although he was the distinguished Prince Yi, people only respected and feared him on the surface, but in fact they were laughing at him behind his back for being ugly. Some even said that he was so ugly that he could stop a child from crying at night.

Now, he will be able to restore his appearance soon. From now on, he will no longer have to wear a mask and can go out openly!

He glanced at Gu Qinghuai and suddenly found that this woman was not so annoying after all.

Forget it, for the sake of her facial treatment, I won’t give her any trouble in the future and give her some face.

Gu Qinghuai said, "Don't talk too much. It will take a few days for the swelling on your face to go down. The stitches can be removed after five days. After that, I will give you a bottle of scar removal cream. Apply it three times a day. The scar will disappear in one month, and after three months, there will be no trace left."

"Oh, one more thing." Gu Qinghuai took out another bottle of pills and handed it to him. "This is an anti-inflammatory drug. Take it three times a day, one pill each time. Remember, don't wash your hair or face for the next few days, and don't let the wound come into contact with raw water to avoid infection and suppuration."

Prince Yi looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes slightly red.

"Your Highness, please don't cry. Your tears must not touch the wound," Gu Qinghuai reminded immediately.

Prince Yi glared at her, "I'm not crying! Where did you get this mirror? Why have I never seen a mirror that reflects a person's face so clearly?"

Business is coming!

Gu Qinghuai smiled and said, "Your Highness has certainly never seen this. This is a mirror with a gilded pattern and an inscription. My shop is the only one that sells it in the entire Great Xia Kingdom. It costs two hundred taels of silver each. If you want to buy it, you have to hurry up. There are not many left in stock. Oh, I also have a folding glass mirror that can reflect the whole body. It costs ten thousand taels of silver each. Do you want it?"

Prince Yi's eyes lit up: "Is the glass mirror on the screen as clear as this mirror?"

Gu Qinghuai nodded: "Of course, the light is very clear, even a few hairs can be seen clearly."

Prince Yi raised the mirror in his hand and said, "Give me ten of these mirrors and one glass screen mirror."

From now on, he wants to admire his handsome face anytime and anywhere, so the more mirrors he has, the better.

"No problem, pay the money first and then I'll deliver the goods!" Gu Qinghuai extended his hand without hesitation.

Prince Yi gave Gu Qinghuai a look of contempt, "Virtue! Will I default on your debt? I'll give it to you later!"

"Okay," Gu Qinghuai stood up and began to pack up the surgical instruments.

When Sihe and other servants saw the door open, they all rushed up.

"Miss Gu, how is my master?" Sihe looked worried.

Gu Qinghuai carried the medical kit on his back and nodded towards the house. "The operation was successful. Let's go in and take a look."

Sihe rushed in immediately. The other servants did not dare to go in casually, so they stood outside the door waiting.

Seeing Prince Yi holding a mirror with red eyes, Sihe knelt on the ground excitedly, "Master, my master, your face is healed! You have a nose and a mouth now!"

"You dog slave! If you can't speak, shut up! I have always had a nose and a mouth!" Prince Yi kicked Sihe to the ground.

Sihe turned over and climbed up sleekly, laughing: "Master, I said something wrong, I'll slap you in the face!"

As he said this, he slapped himself in the mouth twice.

Prince Yi glanced at him and said, "Get up and give me a shoulder massage. I am so stiff from lying down!"

"Okay! Master!" Sihe immediately stood up and massaged Prince Yi's shoulders and back.

The kitchen of the palace prepared a rich meal, and Gu Qinghuai, Cui Shishi and Lingzhi ate until they were full.

After dinner, Gu Qinghuai called Sihe out and explained again some precautions that should be taken after the operation.

Sihe was very grateful and took note of it carefully.

"County Lady, you cured my master's face. I will always remember this great kindness in my heart. If you need me in the future, just let me know," Sihe said sincerely.

Gu Qinghuai nodded and said, "Yes, I will."

Sihe took out another 12,000 taels of silver and handed it to Gu Qinghuai respectfully, "This is the money my master used to buy a mirror, please keep it."

Gu Qinghuai took it, counted it carefully, and left the palace with Cui Shishi and Lingzhi.

After leaving the palace, Gu Qinghuai asked Cui Shishi and Lingzhi to go back first, while she drove the carriage to a nearby grain store to buy some food, and then returned to Prince Yi's palace to deliver ten gilded patterned mirrors and a screen glass mirror.

When they saw the mirror, everyone in Prince Yi's mansion was amazed and called it a treasure. No wonder it was so expensive.

Three days later, Gu Qinghuai was taken by Xiao Yuan to meet the Minister of Agriculture.

The Minister of Agriculture Liu Kuo is thirty years old this year. Because he has been cultivating crops in the fields for many years, his skin is dark, his body is strong, his eyes are bright, and he exudes a simple aura all over his body.

Gu Qinghuai had a good first impression of him.

The two adjutants of the Ministry of Agriculture were named Chen Yi and Xiong Jun.

Chen Yi is 25 years old, with a thin face, medium build, and a quiet and steady personality.

Xiong Jun is 27 years old, tall and thin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is more talkative than Chen Yi.

The three of them were very respectful to Gu Qinghuai and did not deliberately make things difficult for her just because she was a woman.

Gu Qinghuai first took out the steamed sweet potatoes and roasted sweet potatoes for them to taste.

After eating, all three of them had a lingering aftertaste.

"It is really good grain! County Princess, you have done a great thing that benefits the country and the people! You should be mentioned in the history of Daxia! Please accept my humble greeting," Liu Kuo bowed respectfully to Gu Qinghuai.

Chen Yi and Xiong Jun hurriedly followed suit and saluted.

Gu Qinghuai helped the three people up and said with a smile: "You are welcome. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future and strive to cultivate a bountiful harvest of sweet potatoes."

"Madam Gu is right. I will obey your orders," Liu Kuo said modestly.

Gu Qinghuai first showed them the raw sweet potatoes, explained the techniques of sweet potato seedling cultivation, and management, and then began the seedling cultivation practice.

When raising seedlings, Gu Qinghuai let the three of them do it while she stood aside and watched.

Only by operating it yourself can you master the technology faster and more proficiently.

The key points of each step were recorded in detail by Chen Yi and Xiong Jun.
