Chapter 150 The Secret of Joyful Powder
"Hunting?" The Imperial Master raised his eyes slightly, his face puzzled, "I have never participated in the hunting in Dali, nor do I know anything about it.
"Miss Nan should ask the court officials about this. Why did you come to the Imperial Master's Mansion to ask me?"
Feeling that the Imperial Master didn’t understand what she meant, Nan Yingzhi explained, “I didn’t make it clear, I’m sorry.
"What I want to ask is not about the specific details of hunting, but whether there are suitable days for going out and hunting between the 14th and 16th?"
There are many limitations to calculating auspicious days with a range, so the Imperial Master confirmed with her: "Can we only calculate from these three days? Other days are not allowed?"
After getting Nan Yingzhi's nod, the Imperial Master touched the white jade beads wrapped around his wrist and measured them carefully.
"Neither is very suitable," the Imperial Master concluded in a moment, "but fifteen is relatively appropriate."
"Fifteen?" Nan Yingzhi seemed to be thinking about something. "Thank you very much. I understand. But I would like to trouble you to send Mo Zhu to the palace to tell the emperor."
Even though he didn't quite understand her motive, the Imperial Master still nodded obediently: "Okay."
Knowing that the Imperial Master and Dugu Yue had things to do, Nan Yingzhi prepared to get up and leave after chatting for a while.
Remembering that she had not yet learned any knowledge about joy powder, she stopped and turned around.
"By the way, there's one more thing."
The Imperial Master was mild-tempered to begin with, and because of Yun Ji, he loved Nan Yingzhi and her family, so he didn't rush to chase her away. Instead, he smiled patiently and said, "Miss Nan, please go ahead and say whatever you want."
His eyes swept across the tightly closed palace door and then back to the Imperial Master, Nan Yingzhi pointed out something: "I have something I want to ask Master Dugu."
Ever since he figured out that Dugu Yue was a girl, the Imperial Preceptor no longer addressed her as "Young Master". When he first heard Nan Yingzhi calling Dugu Yue like that, he almost couldn't wrap his mind around it.
Although he was reluctant to release Dugu Yue, who was keen on sabotaging things, the Imperial Master still nodded in order to meet Nan Yingzhi's needs.
Unlike the ungraceful roar when he called Dugu Yue to come in, he raised his hand, and with his white fingertips, he gracefully pointed in the air, and the palace door opened.
Like a trigger, Dugu Yue's angry voice immediately came out.
"Hey, it's so cold, why did you open the door so suddenly? At least let me know in advance!"
It was a rare sight to see Dugu Yue being humiliated, and an expression of gloating appeared on the face of the Imperial Master.
"I told you not to come and call me 'National Master'."
After seriously correcting Dugu Yue's question about the title, he answered Dugu Yue's question: "Come out, Miss Nan wants to see you."
"You didn't even tell me your name, but you forced me to call you 'National Master'," Dugu Yue said dissatisfiedly as she walked out of the hall. "You are so shameless!"
The Imperial Master smiled and said, "Yue'er, it's not that I deliberately hid it from you, it's just that it's been so long that I really can't remember it clearly."
"I also told you not to call me 'Yue'er', but my full name," Dugu Yue protested. "You don't find it cheesy to call me like that, but it gives me goose bumps anyway!"
"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." The Imperial Master took a sip of the teacup on the table. "If you insist on saying that, don't blame me for treating you the same way."
"Threatening me?" Dugu Yue gnashed her teeth. "Go ahead and force yourself. I'll never call you that, even if I kill you. You forgot your common name? It doesn't matter. I'll give you one!"
"Don't be ridiculous," the Imperial Master frowned, "You are not my elder, nor my master, how can you 'give' me a name?"
Dugu Yue argued: "But I can't call you 'Hey', and I don't want to call you 'National Master'. In order for us to communicate calmly, I have to give you a name."
Feeling that the two of them were just busy making trouble with each other and ignoring her, Nan Yingzhi coughed lightly to indicate that she was still there.
Finally, he remembered that the Imperial Master let him out because Nan Yingzhi wanted to see him for something. Dugu Yue walked slowly and came to her.
At a glance at Nan Yingzhi's deep purple pupils, she quickly looked away: "Sorry, I didn't mean to look at you, I just saw it unintentionally.
"Although I am from the Western Regions, when I come to Dali, I will naturally follow the local customs. May I ask if you were born with heterochromia, are you the Regent of Dali?"
Noticing that Yun Ji's purple eyes were well-known, even people like Dugu Yue had heard of them, Nan Yingzhi's eyes moved around and stopped at Dugu Yue's face: "Not bad."
In Dali, Dugu Yue was polite to Nan Yingzhi and said, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, what can I do for you?"
Knowing that she didn't want to be identified as a woman, Nan Yingzhi called her "Young Master" and did not reveal her gender.
"I heard that Master Dugu has been in the martial arts world for many years and is very familiar with the various medicines circulating in the martial arts world. I have something I want to ask you."
Even though she was not interested in small talk, Dugu Yue saw that Nan Yingzhi, as the regent, did not put on airs, so she could not help but muster up some patience: "Please speak."
Nan Yingzhi tried to test it a little: "Sir, have you ever heard of Happy Powder?"
"I've heard of it." Dugu Yue had heard that the Regent of Dali had not yet married and had no interest in men and women in the world. She raised her eyebrows and showed surprise on her face, "You want to ask this?"
"Yes," Nan Yingzhi said sincerely, not wanting Yun Ji to suffer any sequelae from this. "If a woman is poisoned by pleasure powder, will she still suffer any adverse symptoms after having sex with a man?"
"No," Dugu Yue said confidently, "Originally, this pleasure powder was used as a tonic, but the drug is too strong, so intercourse is necessary."
Nan Yingzhi keenly noticed that the words she used to describe the happy powder were different from Jin An's, so she slowly narrowed her eyes and asked, "Is it a tonic?"
"Originally, it was." He wanted to find a chair to sit down and rest, but seeing that the only reclining chair in the whole yard was right under the Imperial Master, Dugu Yue had no choice but to give up and continued what she had been saying, "But everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme. If you add too much, it will be bad."
Feeling deeply that it was extremely important to ask Dugu Yue about the effect of the joy powder, Nan Yingzhi asked: "What is it used to treat?"
"Female infertility," Dugu Yue said bluntly, not thinking that the secret use of pleasure powder was difficult to talk about, "Speaking of which, it is so expensive to get, that's why."
Hearing the phrase “worth a fortune”, Nan Yingzhi was somewhat surprised: “How good is its effect?”
"The magic of it is that as long as the woman has taken the medicine and has sex with a man while the medicine is taking effect, she will definitely get pregnant."
After thinking for a while, Dugu Yue added a few words: "Of course, the man must be able to have sex as usual, and the woman can calm down and take care of the fetus.
"After all, having it is one thing, but whether or not you can keep it is another."
I suddenly realized that I had finally achieved the wife, children and warm home that I had always dreamed of.
The "wife" inside was already lying peacefully in his arms.
The "child" was waving at her. Nan Yingzhi was so happy about this unexpected surprise that she was a little stunned: "Thank you for clearing up my confusion."
Dugu Yue didn't think he had made much effort, and shrugged: "There are many people who know this, if you ask other people in the martial arts world, most of them also know it.
"It's just that this thing is hard to come by. I've only seen it in a pawn shop. If you want to find it, I'm afraid it's difficult."
Not wanting her to misunderstand that he was asking this for the sake of continuing the family line, Nan Yingzhi just said, "That's not what I'm looking for," and changed the subject.
"Master Dugu, I am not asking for nothing. I heard that you like to spar with others. How about I thank you by sparring with you?"
Dugu Yue had already taken a good look at Nan Yingzhi and knew that she was quite skilled in martial arts. Hearing her say that, she laughed and cupped her fists towards her.
"Your Majesty's suggestion is exactly what I want," she said, and her figure flashed and appeared beside Nan Yingzhi, "Excuse me!"
Royal study room.
Mo Zhu sent someone to convey to Yun Ting the imperial master's meaning that "the fifteenth is an auspicious day for hunting."
After the man left, Yun Ting seemed to be muttering to himself, or as if he was asking Jin An.
"Bringing the hunting date forward? How strange." He turned the emerald green thumb ring. "The Imperial Master has never been involved in the affairs of Dali. He suddenly sent someone here. Could it be the work of my royal brother?"
After a long time without getting a response from Jin An, who was standing beside him, Yun Ting couldn't help but ask: "Jin An, what do you think?"
Unlike his usual energetic analysis of a long list, Jin An looked at him for a moment and slowly looked away.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped himself: "Listen to the Imperial Master."
"Why are you so silent today?" Yun Ting was puzzled. "I'm not used to it."
Jin An was halfway through his words, "I'm worried that saying this might anger His Majesty, so..."
"There's no one else here," Yun Ting waved his sleeves and put down the red pen, "Just say what you want to say, why hesitate?"
"A-Ting," Jin An took a few deep breaths and mustered up his courage, "If possible, would you be willing to find a small village with me and spend the rest of your life together?"
