The manager of Zhenhui Workshop had been having a terrible time lately.
When he went out, people would surround and intercept him, demanding Beauty Elixirs. When he returned home, people would chase him to his doorstep, threatening him with cleavers to hand over the elixirs.
No matter where he went, he would be encircled, with everyone trying various methods from earnest persuasion to hysterical threats.
But who knew that the manager was suffering more than anyone?
The Beauty Elixirs were meant to be supplied in limited quantities, as instructed by the little Crown Princess, who had only left him three when she departed.
Each elixir was being sold for as much as five million spirit coins, yet countless noblewomen still flocked to buy them.
When these noblewomen couldn't get their hands on the Beauty Elixirs, they would even settle for the Beauty Paste. But the Beauty Paste was also limited, so all the other jewelry and precious items in Zhenhui Workshop were snatched up, almost to the point of being completely sold out...
The manager had been experiencing a mix of pain and joy during this period.
The moment he saw the little Crown Princess, he was so tearfully overjoyed, even more so than seeing his own mother. He cried as he rushed forward, almost trying to embrace her leg, "Crown Princess, I beg you, do you have any more Beauty Elixirs? Please release a few more! Otherwise, this old man really can't go on living like this."
Cai Qi, Cai Xiu, and Awning all looked at the old manager with black lines across their faces.
Lord Qiaoqiao, with her icy, snow-like little face, glanced at the old man, "Are they all sold out?"
"Even unrelated products in Zhenhui Workshop have almost all been snatched up!"
When the manager said this, he didn't care about the envy of other merchants. Along the entire North Changle Street, Zhenhui Workshop wasn't the only place selling jewelry and cosmetics.
Yet, every day, Zhenhui Workshop was packed with people, while other shops could only watch enviously.
The little Crown Princess nodded, then suddenly heard a weeping sound.
A plump woman, adorned with gold, silver, and sparkling jewels in her hair, squeezed desperately through the crowd and threw herself onto the carriage, desperately trying to grab the little Crown Princess's leg...
"Crown Princess, Crown Princess, I beg you, please sell me one Beauty Elixir. I'll pay any price!" The plump woman was quite large and slow-moving. It was naturally impossible for the little Crown Princess to let her grab her leg.
Seeing her rush forward, Lord Qiaoqiao quickly shrunk her arms and legs, dodging further into the carriage.
Awning stepped forward, using his sword to block the woman's aggressive actions, and sternly rebuked, "Speak properly, don't use your hands and feet."
"Crown Princess! This humble woman is from the Liu family. I am Princess Kang's sister-in-law!" The plump woman eagerly cried out, "I beg you, Crown Princess, for Princess Kang's sake, please sell this humble woman one Beauty Elixir."
The effect of the Beauty Elixir was simply too good.
This story began when Princess Kang attested to the marvelous effects of the Beauty Elixir, and then Madam Jiang, the wife of Royal Censor Jiang, gritted her teeth and spent one million spirit coins to buy one.
There was no need to wait until the next day; the effects of the elixir on Madam Jiang's appearance began to show immediately after she took it.
Madam Li, who was with her at the time, instantly regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. Even when the Beauty Elixir's price returned to its "original price" of two million spirit coins the next day, Madam Li eagerly gritted her teeth and bought one...
These two ladies, along with Princess Kang, became the living advertisements for Zhenhui Workshop's Beauty Elixir.
Which Beauty Elixir could possibly match the effects of Zhenhui Workshop's?
Not only did it beautify, but it also helped with weight loss. Taking just one made a person look ten years younger, and they could see their skin continuously getting younger every day.
As a result, the manager's only remaining two Beauty Elixirs sold for the astronomical prices of four million and five million respectively.
Despite this, they were still in short supply, and people would daily besiege the shop, forcefully trying to buy them...
