In the inner room.

Concubine Zhang retreated from the palace maid, sat down and looked coldly at Xin Yi in front of her. Her face, which had been smiling for a while, fell down.

"Young lady, it's really easy for me to wait."

Xin Yi knew that Concubine Zhang had already scolded her ancestors for eighteen generations in her heart. She did not eat her flesh because Fu Jiuqu was outside, and she had to maintain her innocence and innocence in front of Zhao Zhen.

He looked so pitiful that he was being persecuted, so he didn't get angry on the spot.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This is a discourteous act as a young lady."

"I'm sorry. How could it be so simple for you to treat me like this?"

"If the imperial concubine wants to be beaten or punished, I will accept it."

Zhang Xue also saw that she was acting like a knife, and she looked resigned. After pondering for a long time, she finally softened her tone.

"The young lady refuses to enter the palace. Is she being coerced by others and does not dare to diagnose my illness?"

Is this trying to trick her into confessing?

Xin Yi's heart skipped a beat, "No."

"What's not there?"

"No one is threatening me." Xin Yi looked at her sincerely and said calmly: "The little woman didn't come just because she was afraid of death."

"Afraid of death?" Zhang Xue also seemed a little surprised. He frowned and looked at her. After a long while, he smiled sharply and said, "Is this palace so scary? Is the young lady provoked by someone?"

"It's not the imperial concubine's problem, it's me." Xin Yi said seriously: "The little woman is just a wandering doctor who has acquired superficial medical skills... There are so many facial diseases that cannot be cured by the imperial doctors in the palace. How can the little woman have the confidence?

?My noble concubine is a noble person. If I come here and fail to cure her, won’t I risk my life..."

Zhang Xue also saw her fearful look and half believed her.

"You look up?"

Xin Yi looked up at her without saying a word.

Zhang Xue also looked at her face carefully, "I heard someone said that you also had acne rashes on your face before?"

"yes."

"Who cured it?"

"Little Women Herself."

There was a hint of joy on Concubine Zhang's face. Without waiting for Xin Yi to speak again, she took off the veil on her face with her own hands and asked hopefully: "Then come and see, can you heal my face?"

Xin Yi glanced at her face and was stunned.

Unable to help herself, she took a step closer, squinted her eyes and looked carefully for a moment, her heart skipped a beat, "How about I take the imperial concubine's pulse first?"

Zhang Xue also lowered his eyelids, hummed, and took the initiative to stretch out his wrist.

Obviously, she couldn't wait for it.

When Xin Yi felt his pulse, her eyes never left Xin Yi's face for a moment.

The young lady in front of me is not very old, and there are still traces of sores on her face, but her complexion is really fair, as bright as peach blossoms, with a snow-like appearance, as soft and smooth as grease...

Zhang Xue also had someone in the palace to take care of her skin, using all the best rouge and gouache. However, at the age of twenty-eight, she could no longer compare with an eighteen-year-old girl. She had given birth several times and needed to maintain her skin.

No matter how good I am, I still have fatigue and fine lines.

The more she looked at Xin Yi, the more envious her eyes became.

"Which ointment does the little lady use?"

Zhang Xueyi asked the question almost subconsciously, without thinking about it. After asking, seeing Xin Yi raising his head in shock, he felt that his words were easily looked down upon, so he cleared his throat again.

"Looking at your thin skin and tender flesh, I think you've made excellent use of the grease."

Xin Yi secretly smiled, knowing what she meant, and climbed up the pole.

"It makes the imperial concubine laugh. The young lady is from a poor family and cannot afford good quality ointment. She usually wears homemade rouge and gouache..."

"Homemade?" Zhang Xue also became curious.

For the sake of beauty, I almost forget my identity.

"Are you born with such good skin, or did you use homemade cream?"

Xin Yi thought for a while, but did not try to trick her, "Half and half. I was born with fair skin, which accounted for 50% of the effort, and the self-made ointment accounted for another 50% of the effort..."

After saying that, he glanced at Concubine Zhang's face and said with a smile: "Concubine Zhang is also born with fair skin. As long as she takes care of herself properly, her complexion will not be any worse than mine."

The smile on Concubine Zhang's face could no longer be hidden, "Mother, please prepare some of the ointment you use. I will send someone to pick it up tomorrow."

Xin Yi:……

Sure enough, women's love for beauty will remain unchanged for thousands of years.

As long as there is a way to be beautiful, anything can be done.

"There is no need to rush." ​​Xin Yi looked at Zhang Xueyi's impatient face and smiled slightly, "The imperial concubine still needs to cure her facial disease first, and then talk about conditioning her skin..."

Zhang Xueyi seemed to have just remembered the carbuncle pimples on his face, and his expression darkened.

"Then Madam, do you have any way to treat me?"

"Yes. I have plenty of ways to treat you." Xin Yi smiled half-heartedly and asked Zhang Xueyi to stick out her tongue and take a look. He slowly loosened her wrist and said seriously: "But it will take some time. Once the treatment starts,

The noble concubine must not give up halfway, otherwise it will be difficult to recover."

Zhang Xueyi nodded repeatedly, "As long as there is a way, it will be fine. Tell me quickly, how to cure it?"

Xin Yi smiled and asked instead: "When Concubine Guishui comes, do you feel that your menstruation is not smooth and your lower abdomen is full of pain?" Concubine Zhang nodded.

Xin Yi asked again: "Have you ever had two tides in a month, and the color was purple and black with lumps?"

Concubine Zhang looked at her in astonishment, "How did you know that?"

Xin Yi smiled slightly, "I am a doctor, and I am also a woman. The imperial concubine has ecchymosis on her tongue, and her pulse is stringy and astringent... This is due to imbalance of Chong and Ren, blood stasis and stagnation, which is why menstruation is not smooth. The circulation of the human body requires the coordination of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

They are mutually reinforcing, and diseases in the body will also affect the face. With all due respect, the facial disease of the imperial concubine is difficult to cure by taking medicine or external application alone."

Concubine Zhang had heard too many opinions from the imperial doctors, and she didn't care about the ins and outs of the disease. She just asked her, "Then how do you treat it?"

Xin Yi thought for a moment and said: "One is for internal nourishment, and the other is for external nourishment. Only by taking into account both internal and external aspects can we heal."

"How to raise it internally? How to raise it externally?" Concubine Zhang asked in astonishment.

Xin Yi said: "External care is simple. I will prescribe some medicinal materials for skin care and beauty, cut them into thin slices and pieces, put them in a porcelain urn, add equal parts of white wine and water, seal them and seal them with yellow mud.

, let people shake it three to four times a day. After one month, pour out the medicinal materials together with the wine, wrap it in fine gauze and filter it out... After the medicinal residue is mashed, it is used to apply on the face, and the wine is warmed every day.

, add water, mix thoroughly and drink a cup..."

"A month?"

Zhang Xue also doesn't care about the complicated process, because she doesn't need to do these things. What she cares about is the time, which actually takes a month...

"Can't it be faster?"

Xin Yi shook his head, "One month, not one day less. Otherwise, the medicine will not be effective enough, and all the efforts will be wasted."

Zhang Xueyi's face is a little ugly, but she has been dragging her face for so long, and she can't drag it out any longer. Every rash will leave scars. If it is not cured, she will become a Mapo face. By then, the official

Will the family still want her?

I'm afraid I'll get tired of looking at it more than once.

"Okay. Then tell me, what about internal nourishment?"

Xin Yi smiled slightly and said, "For internal nourishment, in addition to taking the medicine prescribed by me to clear away the accumulated blood stasis in the body, you must also meditate quietly to nourish your mind."

"Quiet meditation? Cultivating one's nature?"

Zhang Xue had never heard of such a treatment method.

"That's right." Xin Yi looked at Concubine Zhang's surprised look and said without changing her expression: "A person's temperament and character will be reflected on the face. In other words, cultivating one's nature through meditation is also about nourishing one's appearance. Using medicine to nourish one's appearance

, it is better to take care of your beauty with your heart.”

Zhang Xueyi: "How to meditate quietly and how to cultivate it?"

Xin Yi smiled slightly, "The heart is one of the five internal organs. The heart governs the blood vessels and stores the mind. If the heart is not diseased, all the internal organs are healthy... Those who meditate must meditate like a monk every day, abstain from sexual desires, and sit cross-legged for three times a day.

For more than an hour, calm down and reflect on your past, then

Good at accumulating blessings... In this way, you can appreciate the divine power of the Buddha to clear the meridians of the human body, smooth the qi and blood, and balance the yin and yang. In this way, meditation combined with medicine can not only cure facial diseases, but also make the imperial concubine look good.

Prolonging life and prolonging life..."

This consultation took a full hour.

When Xin Yi prepared the prescription and handed it to the palace maid, and then handed over the medical instructions and walked out of the inner room, everyone found that Concubine Zhang was in high spirits, and her eyebrows and eyes under the gauze seemed to be much relaxed.

No one knows how Xin Yi coaxed Concubine Zhang. All in all, Concubine Zhang not only did not blame Xin Yi when she entered the palace, she even had some modest intentions to please her and gave her a lot of jewelry and cloth.

Xin Yi accepted it with a smile.

Before going out, she rummaged through the medicine box and found samples of the ointment she had made, as well as bath products. She gave some to Concubine Zhang, and applied them to her on the spot to try them out to express her sincerity and convince her.
