Open a store? Concubine Jing's words made Hua Mian's eyes widen.

"Actually, before you came, Bengong asked someone to inquire about you on Flower Street, and I heard that you were saving money to open a restaurant," Concubine Jing said unhurriedly.

Hua Mian's mind was spinning rapidly, and he had really thought about opening a store, and seemed to have mentioned it to a few familiar people, but at that time, he felt that it was really troublesome to count all these things together, so he had to give up.

Now that Concubine Jing has brought it up again, it is indeed a very attractive trading chip, and if Concubine Jing invests it, the store means that there can also be a big backer like Concubine Jing.

Seeing that Hua Mian didn't react, Concubine Jing asked, "Do you have any other concerns?" If you are worried about the safety of your journey to Beilin, you can rest assured that we will definitely prepare the best escort for you, and if you have any other requirements, you can mention"

What else can I ask for? Accompanying His Royal Highness the prince back from a trip abroad can not only get the store sponsored by Concubine Jing, but also ask for something else? Huamian thought hard for a moment, and sure enough, what she wanted most was to go home, which they couldn't fulfill, so it was easier to achieve than to put forward the question she thought about last night.

"There is indeed a request that is very troublesome to speak out...", Hua Mian opened his mouth.

"What is it? Say it", I heard Hua Mian say that there are conditions to respect the concubine, but it is a lot more relieved, if the other party does not ask for anything, it is not easy to say, since there is a want, then let her accompany Ye Huang as an entourage to Beilin.

"It is forbidden for all the maids in the palace to use white powder for makeup, and I can participate in the daily purchase needs of the imperial dining room."

Hearing Hua Mian's request, Concubine Jing was stunned, she wanted the imperial dining room to help her buy the ingredients she needed, after all, she was the chef of the palace.

"It's just the matter of white powder, this palace doesn't understand, why do you want the maids in the palace to stop using white powder to paint their faces"

Hua Mian looked left and right in the house, at this time, in addition to the few palace people around Ye Huang, there were only two female officials from Concubine Jing, and the makeup on the female official's face knew that it was obviously not white powder, Hua Mian said "Wait a minute", and ran out of the house to pull in a maid with a thick white powder on her face.

"It's the kind of face on her face", Hua Mian pulled the thick-makeup maid next to Concubine Jing's female officer, and let the two stand side by side.

Concubine Jing was puzzled: "The ordinary maids in the palace are equipped with white powder, and those who have been promoted to female officials can be replaced with pearl powder of lower quality."

"It's this white powder, I originally thought it was strange how only the young maids in the palace were susceptible to the four seasons disease, ordinary women outside the palace don't have to paint every day even if they use white powder makeup, and they paint so thickly, like the flower girls on the flower street or the ladies of the rich families use pearl powder with a more natural color for makeup, only the maids in the palace will use a large amount of white powder for a long time, which leads to lead poisoning"

Afraid that the other party didn't understand what lead meant, Hua Mian then explained: "That is to say, the white powder used in makeup is poisonous, if it is not used often, and only a small amount is not a problem, but the maids in the palace need to wear makeup every day, and too much white powder ingested through breathing for a long time will cause poisoning, and the condition of those maids in Jinyue Palace is not because of illness, but poisoning."
