Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 892 - 44: Subjugation

The Young Madam Qing, who was still strutting like a peacock an hour ago, suddenly found herself coldly ignored.

The Young Madam Qing was so angry that her teeth itched, yet she couldn’t release her anger.

No matter how she tried, Young Madam Qing was merely the wife of a young general.

But Donghuang Sheng was different. As long as Prince Dugu favored her, once he succeeded the throne, she would become Empress, and her family would have to heed Prince Dugu’s whims.

"Madam, there’s no need to be so formal. I notice that your complexion is sallow with dullness; is it due to poor sleep on regular days?" Yun Sheng spoke with warmth, as if she had not heard the earlier sneers of the crowd.

"Oh, Princess, how did you know?" The woman was astonished. Lately, she had been feeling unwell, unable to sleep peacefully, and getting startled easily at night.

"And you, Madam, I see discoloration on your cheeks. It’s surely due to irregular menstruation, which needs treatment," Yun Sheng swiftly appraised the faces of several ladies.

These noblewomen were heavily made up, trying to conceal their dull complexions and the spots on their cheeks.

"Yes, yes, yes, Princess, I’ve consulted many doctors, but none could diagnose the problem."

"I’ve learned some medical skills in my early years and know some beauty and skincare methods. If you ladies are interested, I can share more about them," Yun Sheng said while sharing her daily skincare tips with everyone.

The women glanced at Yun Sheng again, noticing she wore no makeup. Her skin was as translucent as jade, smooth and glossy, like a peeled egg, which made them fully believe her words.

They all wished to look younger and prettier, to keep their men’s hearts.

However, on the Wuji Continent, though there were professional doctors, none understood the path of beauty care.

Yun Sheng, a modern medical expert, knew that in the modern world, due to the love for beauty, women flocked to beauty salons, and she was very knowledgeable about beauty and skincare.

With concepts like external application and internal nourishment, and daily exercise, one after another, this group of Hou Qin noblewomen listened in rapture, eager to become friends with Yun Sheng immediately.

A group of people surrounded Yun Sheng, chattering away as they moved towards the front hall.

The Young Madam Qing didn’t even have a chance to speak. Furious, she kicked at the dirt ridge of the Medicine Field and sulked back.

After the women left, a flower farmer, who was still turning soil, stood up, brushed the dirt from his clothes, and looked pensively in the direction Yun Sheng left.

During the walk back to the front hall, the women became quite familiar with Yun Sheng, completely forgetting their initial intention to challenge her.

When Dugu Xiu and Madam Bi entered, accompanied by nobles and ministers, they happened to see this scene.

"It seems, princess has quite some skill; she got along so well with the ladies so quickly," Madam Bi’s eyes were hot with envy.

She originally intended to ostracize Yun Sheng, letting her suffer ridicule and loss, never expecting Yun Sheng not only to avoid exclusion but to conduct herself with dignity, getting along well with the noblewomen, as if acquainted for a long time, making Madam Bi both envious and jealous.

Not just Madam Bi, even Dugu Xiu was surprised by Yun Sheng’s performance.

He always thought Yun Sheng was tricky and aloof, unaware of her capabilities.

How did this woman manage to win over this difficult group of noblewomen in such a short time?

As Dugu Xiu approached, he heard Yun Sheng speaking energetically: "You only need to grind high-quality pearls into powder, mix it with egg whites, apply it to the face for 15 minutes, and rinse with warm water, ensuring everyone’s skin becomes smooth and glossy."

Yun Sheng spoke while thinking to herself that a woman makes herself up for the one she loves, a timeless truth.

Wuji Continent had many medical clinics, but strangely no beauty salons. Unfortunately, she was currently in a difficult situation; otherwise, she would open the first beauty salon on the Wuji Continent, earning a fortune from these noblewomen.

When Yun Sheng thought of this, her eyes sparkled brightly.

Dugu Xiu looked at her, knowing she was undoubtedly hatching some bad idea again.

"Cough, cough," Du Xiu cough a few times. The group of noblewomen snapped out of their daze, bowed to the Crown Prince, and quickly stood aside.

"Unexpectedly, you do have some skills," Du Xiu, full of criticisms, would never admit he was distracted with worry for Yun Sheng handling the situation earlier.

For a woman to disturb his mind, it was a first for Du Xiu.

"I have many talents yet to be shown. The Crown Prince will soon find out," Yun Sheng smiled charmingly, planning in her heart, realizing she hadn’t seen Master Mo Yin today, guessing the master successfully escaped from the Hou Qin.

Without the Artifact Refining Master Mo Yin, Hou Qin’s military capabilities would undoubtedly suffer significantly.

"The Emperor and Empress arrive," a long voice announced.

Dugu Sheng and Empress Qing arrived.

The Emperor of Post Qin, Dugu Sheng, was around forty years old, tall, with a head of red hair and a neatly trimmed short beard.

Beside him was a beautiful young woman.

However, compared to the Emperor of Post Qin, the beauty appeared much younger, at most in her thirties, with a seductive and voluptuous figure and charming eyes full of allure.

"Long live the Emperor, and may the Empress live a thousand years," after bowing, the ministers took their seats.

Once the Emperor and Empress arrived, the azalea banquet officially began.

The Empress and Emperor took the head seats, with Dugu Xiu and the Crown Prince Mansion’s wives and concubines sat to the right. Across on the left sat Dugu Qian along with his wives and concubines.

Dugu Xiu and Yun Sheng shared a table by themselves, while the remaining three people took seats beside them.

"Is this the Princess Donghuang? Truly beautiful and extraordinary in temperament. Someone, reward the princess with a pair of Purple Gold Dragon Phoenix Bracelets, twenty bolts of Night Light Cloud Dress Silk, and two pairs of Jade Ruyi," the Emperor of Post Qin, after appraising Yun Sheng, nodded and announced her reward.

"Thank you, Father Emperor," Dugu Xiu stood to accept the gifts on Yun Sheng’s behalf,

Yun Sheng, because of the money, nodded reluctantly but refused to call him Father Emperor.

Empress Qing observed Yun Sheng’s appearance and acknowledged she surpassed Qing Qiang.

Then, looking at her son, whose eyes had been glued to Donghuang Sheng since she sat beside him, but Donghuang Sheng seemed displeased with Dugu Xiu being beside her, maintaining a noticeable distance.

At the azalea banquet, every household’s head wife strove to please their husband, serving food and pouring wine, but only Donghuang Sheng focused on eating her meal.

To others, it seemed the Princess Donghuang was shy, reluctant to be close to Dugu Xiu, yet to Empress Qing, Donghuang Sheng appeared aloof, playing hard to get with Dugu Xiu.

Seeing the Soul Crystal Earrings on Yun Sheng’s ears, Empress Qing’s phoenix eyes raised slightly, a cold glint flashing momentarily.
