Chapter 158 - 160 Father, You Want to Send Flowers to the Queen Mother
Upon entering the palace, Nalan Yan’er went to pay her respects to Emperor Yongye, where the Empress and a crowd of concubines, including Noble Princess Consort Xiao, were all present.
Emperor Yongye, forcefully mustering his spirits, asked about the wellbeing of the two Imperial Grandsons, then inquired about the Old Grand Preceptor’s condition.
"Thank you, Father Emperor, for your concern. Grandfather’s health remains as it always has been."
Nalan Yan’er’s heart sank as she thought of the method proposed by Hua Wushang.
Just then, the Third Prince Dongfang Qi arrived in the palace for an audience. He had always been one to speak his mind, and after paying his respects, he looked up at Emperor Yongye.
"Father Emperor, what’s going on with your hair?"
Once Dongfang Cheng mentioned this, everyone bravely turned their attention to Emperor Yongye’s head.
Emperor Yongye had been of ill health recently, looking haggard and with more white hair visible amongst his strands. He had just heard Li Qing mention a hair cream that could darken hair. Fortuitously, Nalan Yan’er had brought some to the palace for him and the Empress. After using it, his gray hair had disappeared.
But to their surprise, in just a few days, the previously hidden white hair had reappeared, and it even seemed more abundant than before.
Emperor Yongye commanded someone to bring a mirror, and upon seeing his reflection, he almost shattered the glass.
