Chapter 414

Huang Yueying gave a miserable smile.

"Lord Xuande is truly benevolent and righteous, even comforting me."

Liu Bei smiled.

"Does the young lady know that in the Western Regions, there are many yellow-haired women who are quite beautiful?"

Huang Yueying let out a sigh.

"I know this too, but they have fair skin, unlike me."

Liu Bei looked at her.

"Little Cai woman, are you willing to let me take your pulse?"

Huang Yueying? Could it be that she was also ill?

She stretched out her hand, and Liu Bei seriously took her pulse.

Liu Bei was seriously looking at the illness, while Huang Yueying was secretly looking at Liu Bei at close range!

"Sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, well-defined features; Lord Xuande is truly handsome. The serious Lord Xuande is so attractive!"

Huang Yueying blushed, her heart beating faster.

Liu Bei made an 'eh' sound.

"Little Cai woman, don't be nervous; your heartbeat is a bit fast, I can't take your pulse accurately."

Huang Yueying's face turned even redder. Fortunately, her skin was dark and it was dark outside, so it wasn't clear.

Huang Yueying thought of her own appearance and instantly felt low. She was actually moved by Lord Xuande; she really didn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth!

"This is like Pang Shiyuan being moved by Miss Diao Chan; a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"

"Only women like Miss Diao Chan, the Feng beauty of the Central Plains, Zhen Mi of Hebei, and Xiao Qiao of Jiangbei are worthy of Lord Xuande."

Liu Bei finished taking Huang Yueying's pulse and smiled.

"Little Cai woman, your skin being yellow and dark is actually a type of illness."

Huang Yueying was shocked.

"Lord Xuande, I didn't expect that not only am I ugly, but I'm also ill!"

Liu Bei… this Huang Yueying didn't look very smart.

He coughed.

"I mean, your skin being poor, yellow, and dark is an illness that can be cured."

Huang Yueying's eyes lit up.

"Is this true?!"

This matter was too important to her; she couldn't believe it at all!

Liu Bei nodded.

"You have been delicate and weak since childhood, with insufficient vital energy and blood (anemia); your blood cannot provide enough nutrients to your body, which leads to the symptom of yellow and dark skin."

Huang Yueying agreed very much.

"Lord Xuande is absolutely right; I often have pale lips and dizziness."

Liu Bei added,

"Are you also quite picky about food, only eating a few fixed dishes?"

Huang Yueying bowed in admiration.

"Lord Xuande is absolutely right; I have been picky about food since I was a child."

"Little Cai woman, the substances you ingest from nature are not enough, and you lack the substances that inhibit the production of melanin, which leads to dry, dark, and yellow skin."

Actually, she was just lacking Vitamin C and Vitamin E.

Huang Yueying gripped Liu Bei's hand excitedly.

"Lord Xuande, if I eat those substances, will I become fair and beautiful?"

Liu Bei smiled.

"Naturally."

Huang Yueying then realized she was holding Liu Bei's hand, and her cheeks were already crimson!

To relieve the awkwardness, Liu Bei said,

"Little Cai woman, can these wooden dogs and wooden oxen you made move by themselves?"

Huang Yueying was instantly proud.

"Lord Xuande, don't underestimate these wooden oxen; I have a mechanism inside, they can walk by themselves!"

Huang Yueying pressed the mechanism, and the wooden ox began to walk by itself!

Liu Bei praised her highly.

"Little Cai woman is ingenious; truly a great talent!"

Huang Yueying was proud in her heart; getting Lord Xuande's sincere praise made her feel wonderful.

She introduced the principle of the wooden ox to Liu Bei and was praised by Liu Bei again.

Liu Bei added,

"I heard that you also discovered that the plague is transmitted by mosquitoes and suggested to the Jingzhou people to plant paulownia trees in front of and behind their houses, keep chickens and ducks in groups, have geese guard the doors, use the fish-farming method in stagnant ponds, and keep fire seeds to burn mugwort ropes? Excellent!"

Huang Yueying's eyes were bright, and she was proud in her heart, her mouth smiling.

"Lord Xuande praises me too much. Compared to you saving millions of people, this young woman is far behind."

Liu Bei laughed heartily.

"Too humble. I know you also invented the waterwheel. If you were in our Chang'an Craft Bureau, you would have already earned several manors."

Huang Yueying?

Liu Bei introduced the welfare and treatment of the Craft Bureau to Huang Yueying.

Huang Yueying's eyes lit up, and she bowed deeply to Liu Bei.

"Lord Xuande gives craftsmen such good treatment and improves their lives; excellent!"

Liu Bei waved his hand.

"It's just a win-win situation. Ma Jun and the others invented the repeating crossbow and improved farm tools, etc., and have helped me a lot."

Huang Yueying let out a soft sigh.

"A win-win situation—how many people can truly understand that?"

"What Lord Xuande said makes me want to go to Chang'an."

The livestream chat had many more comments.

"Damn, so this Huang Yueying is a female scientist!"

"She looks very high IQ at first glance."

"Actually, she doesn't look bad; her figure is graceful, and she's tall, second only to Lü Lingqi."

"If her skin gets better and fairer, she'll also be a great beauty!"

"The Eared Thief wouldn't have taken her down himself, would he?"

Liu Bei and Huang Yueying were chatting happily; many of their ideas coincided.

Huang Yueying's look at Liu Bei changed; her eyes were full of worship.

At this time, Huang Chengyan and Pang Tong also came to the backyard.

Seeing this situation, the two looked at each other, their thoughts different.

Huang Chengyan: No way, could it be that my daughter's talent has stunned Lord Xuande, making Lord Xuande ignore her appearance?

Pang Tong: In order to recruit Kongming, the lord can actually endure such a tall, yellow-haired, dark-faced woman? For the great cause, the lord is too hardworking!

Seeing people arrive, Huang Yueying bowed gracefully.

"Father, Lord Xuande said my skin being dark is an illness and can be cured."

Huang Chengyan?? Lord Xuande really ignored my daughter's appearance! Could there be a chance?

"If Lord Xuande could take my daughter, let's see if those people in Jingzhou still mock my 'Ugly'!"

Pang Tong: The lord is too difficult!

If everyone weren't still here, Pang Tong would have already been moved to tears!
