Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 567

The princes in the hall all looked at Huo Jinghuai with a mixture of jealousy and disdain.

They felt that no matter how much Huo Jinghuai tried to please Huo Tingsheng, he had no hope of vying for the throne. But to receive a new mansion as a special gift from Huo Tingsheng was indeed no easy feat.

According to the custom of the Western Qi royal family, princes would leave the palace and establish their own residences after reaching adulthood. They would be assigned a residence and would basically live there for the rest of their lives. Very few princes were given the privilege of "changing to a new one".

The fourth prince, in particular, was extremely displeased.

When Huo Jinghuai first surrendered to him, he didn't take him seriously. But now he finds that the unfavored prince, whom he used to treat with pity, is now showing more and more promise and is even more prominent than him.

After the court session, the Fourth Prince passed by Huo Jinghuai and said in a sarcastic tone, "Seventh Brother, you're so lucky. You managed to snag such a great bargain."

While on a tour, he happened to discover the headquarters of "Naihe," which had already been breached. All he had to do was collect a bunch of spoils and present them to his father, the emperor, to receive a huge reward. What incredible luck!

Huo Jinghuai smiled and said, "This is also Fourth Brother's good luck. I also have something to bring to Fourth Brother."

He took out a prescription from his sleeve.

"This was also found in Naihe Mountain. It's a beauty and skincare recipe called 'Peach and Plum Blossoms Reopened with Dew.' According to what's written on it, it has a rejuvenating effect, so it should be pretty good. Mother values ​​her appearance very much, so this recipe is presented to her by Fourth Brother. If it works, Mother will be very happy."

Jiang Yunwan does indeed love searching the world for beauty and skincare elixirs, and she has tried countless remedies. Of course, some of them are effective, but only to the point of making her look better than her peers; they don't really rejuvenate her.

The fourth prince glanced at the prescription with some skepticism. He saw that it was covered with dense writing, all of which contained precious medicinal herbs, and the preparation methods were very complicated and meticulous. It didn't seem to be fake.

Regardless of whether it was effective or not, at least "Huo Jinghuai" was sensible, and the Fourth Prince felt a little better and hummed in agreement.

"Alright, I'll give it to Mother later and see if it works."

The fourth prince went to the palace the next day and gave Jiang Yunwan the recipe for "Peach and Plum Blossoms Reopened with Dew".

Over the years, Jiang Yunwan has seen too many of these remedies, most of which are touted as miraculous. She has long been immune to them and does not believe them, but she is still willing to try them.

She has been trying very hard to win back Huo Tingsheng's favor, but Huo Tingsheng has almost no interest in her anymore. Whenever he comes to her palace on the first or fifteenth of the month, he doesn't touch her at all. He just says a few words and then goes to sleep.

Even if she had a thousand tricks and ten thousand tender feelings, she couldn't use them; she couldn't possibly wake Huo Tingsheng up and drag him out of bed.

Jiang Yunwan felt it was because she had aged. Her face could no longer attract Huo Tingsheng with her stunning beauty and make him fall for her like it did back then.

So now she's desperate and willing to try any remedy.

Jiang Yunwan instructed her palace servants to prepare a batch of peach and plum blossom extracts according to the prescription. The palace servants, who frequently prepared various medicines for her, were all knowledgeable in medicine and pharmacology, and were very skilled at it.

After only a few uses, the results astonished Jiang Yunwan.
