Chapter 1212 - Chapter 1212 Chapter 1211 Rose Dew_1
Chapter 1212: Chapter 1211: Rose Dew_1 Chapter 1212: Chapter 1211: Rose Dew_1 Ladies of this era all had to face the provocations of concubines, and it was considered normal and legal. They couldn’t just raise the banner against mistresses and make a fuss. Therefore, they cared even more about their own faces.
If there was something that could make them more beautiful, no matter the cost, they would find a way to get their hands on it.
With this thought, Qiao Xiaomai immediately felt rejuvenated.
After returning to the Imperial Palace, Yang Wenxiao was telling Tong Sanlang about his past experiences in warfare, while Qiao Xiaomai went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
After lunch, she went to the Imperial Kitchen to seek guidance from the master chefs there, hoping to learn a few culinary skills.
This era did, in fact, have many exquisite dishes, which she did not know how to make, such as Rose Dew.
Rose Dew was mentioned in “Dream of the Red Chamber.” It could regulate qi, relieve depression, harmonize the blood to disperse stasis, and even address certain skin issues.
These noblewomen, as mistresses of households, would harbor a lot of pent-up frustration due to various problems, making Rose Dew a fine supplement for them.
However, it was only early April, and the roses had not yet bloomed, so she could only use dried flowers saved from the previous year.
Dried flowers were not as good as fresh ones, but with the mix of her Spiritual Spring water, the effects were also notable.
Under the guidance of the head chef in the Imperial Kitchen, she made a porcelain jar of Rose Dew, sealed it, and planned to give it to Lady Wang the next day.
Lady Wang was her stepping stone into the social circle of ladies in the Capital City; she had to solve Lady Wang’s problems first. Reputation, reputation–that was built upon the praises of others, and she needed Lady Wang to help spread the word.
However, consuming too much Rose Dew could cause heatiness. Besides Rose Dew, she needed to come up with something else.
Honey was an excellent supplement for women, but it was too problematic to procure. After returning to the manor, she would have to study this in detail.
Having found a task, time flew by quickly. The next day, Qiao Xiaomai took the Rose Dew to see Lady Wang, instructing her to take a spoonful every other day diluted in water.
Lady Wang was very pleased and thanked her several times. She had tried a honey milk mask the day before, and the effects were visibly impressive. If such results could be seen after one application, continuous use would surely greatly improve her complexion.
Beginning with Rose Dew, Qiao Xiaomai then started to focus on researching various Floral Dews.
Floral Dew inherently had certain nurturing benefits, and with the addition of her Spiritual Spring water, the effects were truly excellent.
When making Floral Dew, she needed to use Spiritual Spring water, and these creations infused with the Spring’s water could be preserved for many days, giving her Spiritual Spring water a greater range of application.
All kinds of flower nectar she developed were given to Lady Wang, and she also consulted with doctors to explain the different benefits, allowing Lady Wang to adjust her regimen accordingly.
