A peasant girl travels through time with a hospital, rising to become an empress.

The ladies listened and nodded frequently. They had never heard of these intricate details before, and found them both novel and reasonable.

Nie Qianqian paused slightly, and someone impatiently asked, "Shopkeeper, what are those on the second and third floors?"

Nie Qianqian replied with a smile: "In addition to facial makeup, ladies and young ladies also need to take good care of their hair, skin and body. The second floor has all kinds of washing and care products - shampoo balm, bath gel, hand cream, body lotion, and care for everything from head to toe."

"What about the third floor?" someone else asked anxiously.

"On the third floor is the most unique place in our provincial capital's Yueji Pavilion - a Jade Body Aromatherapy (SPA) specially prepared for all ladies."

"Jade Body Aromatherapy?" The ladies were all taken aback, their faces showing confusion.

Nie Qianqian patiently explained: "It involves using specially made essential oils and professional techniques to provide you with body care, which is divided into two categories: beauty care and body relaxation care."

Upon hearing this, the ladies immediately became interested, but couldn't help but mutter, "I wonder how effective this novel method will be?"

But then I thought about it again, and the cosmetics on the first floor were more tempting, so I might as well pick some that I like first.

Seeing everyone's eagerness, Nie Qianqian smiled and said, "After explaining so much today, I imagine that the ladies and young ladies have found something they like. Why not let the maids beside you guide you in choosing? Here, I would like to remind you again—there is no such thing as the best makeup; the best is what suits you. Be sure to have the maids try on your makeup; only after trying it on can you know if it is suitable."

A lady clapped her hands and exclaimed, "The shopkeeper is truly conscientious! Other cosmetic shops wouldn't let you try them on! They only allow you to glance at the color, how can you know if it suits you! And those cosmetics are so expensive, if you buy them and they don't work, all your money is wasted. My husband always complains that my dressing table is piled high with unused items, it's all a waste of money!"

“That’s right!” Several ladies nearby chimed in. “Now that we can try on makeup, we know what suits us best. And these novel cosmetics, once we’ve tried them, we know how to use them. It couldn’t be better!”

Nie Qianqian smiled and nodded: "What the ladies say is absolutely right."

Just as the ladies were excitedly preparing to try on their makeup, a clear, tinkling sound of jade pendants suddenly came from the doorway, accompanied by a delicate fragrance, and footsteps approached from afar. Everyone looked up and their eyes lit up – it was Jiang Muxin who had arrived.

She wore a full set of elaborate makeup, using the finest items from the Eight Treasures Exquisite Box: her willow-leaf eyebrows were delicately drawn with snail-shell ink, the dark blue color making her eyebrows and eyes appear even longer; a touch of crimson rouge was applied to her cheeks, the most luxurious blending technique of the time, lightly blending from her cheekbones to her temples; her lips were adorned with vermilion lip rouge, the lip line was delicately drawn, the cupid's bow was rounded, and the bright red color was dazzling.

Jiang Muxin was already exceptionally beautiful, and this time she had taken extra care in her appearance, spending two whole hours just on drawing her eyebrows, applying lipstick, and powdering her face. Her meticulously crafted look was indeed stunning, causing all the ladies and young women in the room to instinctively hold their breath.

The ladies and young women stared intently, unable to resist whispering their admiration: "Look at the powder on her face, it's so applied so smoothly and delicately, making her skin look as white as jade, without a trace of powder!"

"Indeed, the rouge on her cheeks is applied just right, adding to her charm."

"The most exquisite thing is that lip rouge, the color of which is vibrant yet elegant. On this occasion, she truly outshines all the other beauties!"

Someone leaned closer, their eyes full of curiosity: "Could such exquisite cosmetics also be from this Yueji Pavilion?"

Jiang Muxin enjoyed the focused gazes and admiring comments in the room, but a hint of disdain flashed across her face.

Look at these ladies and young women, dressed in fine materials, I guess they are the families of wealthy merchants in the provincial capital. I didn't think much about their status, and I looked down on their unsophisticated appearance even more.

A pretty young lady who was nearby couldn't help but step forward and ask with envious eyes, "Sister, where did you find these makeup products? They look so good on your face, so smooth and delicate!"

Jiang Muxin smiled faintly, raised her hand to adjust the tassels of the pearl hairpin hanging from her temple, and said in a slow voice: "My makeup is made with products from Huanyan Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, the young lady immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "Huanyan Pavilion? Is that the Huanyan Pavilion in the capital? That's the world's number one rouge shop, renowned throughout the entire Great Yu!"

Jiang Muxin nodded slightly: "Yes, we used the Eight Treasures Exquisite Box from Huanyan Pavilion."

This young lady was originally fashionable and clever, and was well-informed. Upon hearing this, she was so surprised that she raised her voice.

The lady beside her quickly pulled her aside and whispered to the others, "This Eight Treasures Exquisite Box is a masterpiece produced by Huanyan Pavilion in recent years. There are only a few dozen of them in total. I heard that the box has eight layers. When opened, it is shaped like an exquisite lotus flower, layer upon layer, delicate and dazzling. Each layer is equipped with different cosmetics. When put together, they can create the most exquisite makeup. Seeing it today, it is indeed well-deserved of its reputation."

Jiang Muxin smiled faintly, her tone becoming increasingly composed: "My sister is truly knowledgeable and worldly-wise."

“I’ve heard my cousin in Beijing say she has one, but I’ve never seen it.”

Jiang Muxin smiled, but in her heart she felt that this little girl was definitely lying.

Those who possess the Eight Treasures Exquisite Box in the capital are all extremely prestigious families. What is her cousin's status? How could she have it?

Jiang Muxin: "What a coincidence, I had this box in my carriage when I went out today. If you sisters like it, I will have someone fetch it for you to see."

The young girls' eyes lit up as they listened, and they all chimed in, "Great! Great! Sister, quickly have someone bring it over so we can see it!"

However, the older ladies and young women remained calm and carefully scrutinized Jiang Muxin.

At such a young age, with such manners, I wonder whose daughter she is? Carrying an eight-treasure exquisite box with her at all times, and then taking it out on the opening day of Yueji Pavilion—isn't that just blatantly showing off?

They were all well-versed in the intricacies of palace intrigue, and they had already seen through Jiang Muxin's thoughts.

Everyone tacitly kept silent, watching coldly, wanting to see what she was going to do.

Jiang Muxin was completely unaware of these undercurrents, assuming that everyone was stunned. She raised her voice and ordered the maid behind her, "Huan'er, go to the carriage and fetch the Eight Treasures Exquisite Box."

After giving the instructions, she smiled sweetly at Qianqian and said, "Sister Qianqian, I came here especially to support your shop's opening today."

Seeing her like this, Huang Zhenzhu thought to herself, "Dressed up like this to show her support? She's clearly here to cause trouble!"
