The Queen Mother still sat there with an arrogant expression on her face, looking at Ye Qiqi sideways with her beautiful red phoenix eyes.
"Empress Dowager, have you ever heard of the Cardamom Beauty Pill?" Ye Qiqi thought about it and decided to start with this pill.
"Cardamom Beauty Pill?" The Queen Mother was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she frowned and thought carefully: "I've heard of it. A very popular pill more than ten years ago. It is said that after a woman takes it, she can Stay young and beautiful forever.”
"very popular?"
"At that time, almost all the women in the palace were taking the Beauty Pill." The Queen Mother looked at Ye Qiqi with a disdainful expression: "I just don't know why, but then the pill gradually disappeared from the world."
"You mean..." Ye Qiqi hesitated and asked her, "My mother also took that pill?"
"Your mother..." The Queen Mother thought about it carefully, then nodded and said: "She must have taken it. Which girl doesn't want to stay young forever? Besides, after taking the pill, what will happen to your mother's skin and complexion?" Yes, it does look a lot better.”
"this… "
Ye Qiqi suddenly didn't know what to say, "But as far as I know, the Cardamom Beauty Pill seems to be rare in the world."
"That's natural." The Queen Mother nodded and said: "The price of the Beauty Pill is very high. No ordinary woman can afford it. Only the concubines in the palace and above are willing to buy it."
"Is that so??" Ye Qiqi frowned, always feeling that something was not right.
It seems a little unreasonable to say that the price of this pill is so high that the women outside the palace cannot afford it.
None of the princes and nobles are rich and powerful. If their wives want to buy this pill, they will definitely be able to afford it. But right now, it seems that this cardamom beauty pill is only circulated in the palace. .
Seeing that Ye Qiqi didn't speak for a while, the Queen Mother asked: "Why do you ask this?? You want it too??"
"I..." Ye Qiqi hesitated for a moment, and when she was about to continue saying something, the Queen Mother frowned and said to her: "Don't take those pills indiscriminately. As the saying goes, the medicine is three parts poisonous, and it will last forever." I don’t believe in youth or anything like that.”
"Then... have you eaten??" Ye Qiqi tilted her head and asked.
"No." The Queen Mother replied very simply: "The Emperor at that time, your grandfather, once told me very seriously not to believe in those strange pills circulating in the world. Who knows what the ingredients are in them."
"My grandfather??" Ye Qiqi looked at her with doubts.
"Yeah." The Queen Mother thought for a while and then continued: "At that time, your grandfather was very disgusted with this pill. He told me not to take it. Since I promised him, I must do it. It's just that I advised your mother not to take it. When I asked you not to take it, your mother didn't listen at all. She only said that after taking this pill, she didn't feel any discomfort. On the contrary, she felt refreshed. After I persuaded you several times, she Don’t persuade her anymore.”
"Then when did this pill disappear from the world?"
"This..." The Queen Mother frowned and thought carefully for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't really remember this. After all, I don't take the pill, so I naturally pay less attention to it."
