At night, when Yanran returned to the small courtyard where she was staying at the Shen Mansion as a guest, she began crafting An Xiang Pills. Before the opening of Wenyàn Pavilion, Yanran had already purchased all the materials and tools for crafting rouge perfumes, so she directly instructed Nanny Zhang to gather some flowers and herbs and began crafting.
Nanny Zhang followed her instructions, found Bai Zhi, Lavender, Iris, Artemisia argyi, Mi Tuo Seng, and also took honey from the kitchen, which she handed to Yanran. Yanran ground the flowers and herbs into powder and mixed them uniformly with honey to make pigeon egg-sized pills, then refrigerated them. After a day, she personally took them to the shop and gave them to the girl beside Lady Ge, instructing her to take three pills every early morning with warm water, and four pills at night.
The girl jotted it down and hurriedly went back.
