Chapter 478 Extra - Handkerchief

Chen Ci was meeting the female lead of the book for the first time; she was the one he could help Boss and Xiao Yezi return to a normal life if he fell in love with her.

The woman before me had almond-shaped eyes that shone brightly in the rosy light of the sunset.

Perhaps due to the considerable amount of activity, she still had a light sheen of sweat on her forehead, which dampened her short hair, leaving strands draped across her forehead.

Her cheeks were flushed, and she had a smile on her lips, though her face still had some dirt and ink stains from the calligraphy brush.

Even so, her face still looks exquisite and beautiful.

Only……

She was dressed in short cloth clothes, her feet were covered in mud, and she exuded an aura of "I love doing farm work."

Chen Ci remembered.

Before coming, he had looked up Shu Tong's information. This virtuous young lady came from the countryside and probably spent her days with the soil.

What caught his eye was that she used to be a female doctor.

That means we must have some common ground.

But to say it was love at first sight is probably a bit of an exaggeration.

So it seems we won't be able to complete this task today.

But the plan still needs to be carried out.

Before transmigrating, Chen Ci had done his research and knew how to pursue a woman. He thought that if he couldn't fall in love with Shu Tong at first sight, he would make her fall in love with him first.

First of all, he was her husband, and according to the ideas of women in ancient times, she would naturally be loyal to him.

With a little manipulation, it shouldn't be difficult for him to make her fall in love with him.

If he just acts all affectionate, the storyline might just go smoothly.

Chen Ci silently tugged at the corners of his lips, hoping the plan would proceed smoothly.

Seeing that her mistress was not bowing, Haitang became anxious: "My mistress, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

Shu Tong snapped out of her daze, a fleeting look of panic in her eyes, and quickly bowed, saying, "This humble servant greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Get up." Chen Ci's gaze fell on the construction site behind her. "You all get up too."

The palace servants then rose and stood respectfully to the side.

Shu Tong was about to raise her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead when the man in front of her handed her a handkerchief: "Wipe your sweat."

Shu Tong paused for a moment, then looked up.

The man's handsome, sharp features were so close that even his previously indifferent gaze had softened.

For some inexplicable reason, she felt that His Highness the Crown Prince's gaze was unusually gentle today.

No, it must be an illusion.

She quickly looked away and bowed to express her gratitude: "Your Highness, I thank you."

Chen Ci took two steps forward, pointed to the mess in front of him, and asked, "What is Shu Liangyuan planning to do?"

"A swing." Shu Tong wiped the sweat from her forehead, hesitated for a moment, and then held the handkerchief in her palm. "I just thought of building a swing in the garden to relieve my boredom. I hope Your Highness will not take offense."

"Very good." Chen Ci nodded: "It's a good thing to have your own hobbies, but I hope Liangyuan will also take care of her health."

Chen Ci swore that this statement was out of concern.

But hearing this naturally added a bit of resentment to Shu Tong's mind.

Shu Tong felt that His Highness meant for her to be mindful of her status!

So, he's angry?

Shu Tong blinked: "Your Highness's teachings will be remembered."

Chen Ci was slightly taken aback, and a sense of helplessness welled up in his heart. How could women in ancient times be so pedantic?

Can't we just have a normal conversation?

He sighed softly, got up, and walked towards the main hall.

Being very close, Shu Tong keenly noticed Chen Ci's sigh and felt a surge of inexplicable joy.

Great.

The less His Highness liked her, the faster she could get rid of him.

hey-hey.

Shu Tong instructed Haitang to let the palace servants rest, and then followed Chen Ci toward the main hall. Only when they reached the door did they realize that their shoes were covered in mud.

She calmly took off her shoes and socks and entered the palace barefoot, bowing to Chen Ci: "Your Highness, I will go to bathe and change first. Please wait a moment."

Chen Ci's gaze lingered on her bare feet, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Before we came, didn't Xiaomiao say that this book was a sweet romance novel?

It feels a bit like a farming novel!

Was it just his imagination?

He raised his hand and rubbed his temples: "Go."

Watching Shu Tong's light and quick departure, Chen Ci silently wrote a summary of the book's plot.

Originally a skilled healer, she was unexpectedly chosen to become a concubine in the Crown Prince's residence. Witness how the heroine cultivates medicinal herbs and treats illnesses amidst the perilous atmosphere of the Crown Prince's court... forging a legendary tale.

Meanwhile, Shu Tong, the protagonist of this beautiful story, is comfortably soaking in the bathtub.

She wasn't in a hurry to go out and meet the Crown Prince. She hoped that the Crown Prince would become disgusted with her from then on, and that he would never come to her Wutong Residence again.

She just needs to wait until the Crown Prince and Crown Princess are in love and then ask for a divorce agreement.

hey-hey.

As Shu Tong laughed, she fiddled with the blue handkerchief, and looking at the bunch of green bamboo on the handkerchief, she couldn't help but think of the Crown Prince's elegant and handsome face.

He's handsome, but unfortunately, he's the crown prince...

If it were an ordinary man, the two might actually spark a romance.

After all, he really, really handsome.

...

Chen Ci waited for a while but no one came, so he wandered around the huge main hall and unknowingly entered Shu Tong's study.

To his surprise, the books neatly arranged on the bookshelf were mostly fictional stories, with not a single medical book in sight.

That's really strange.

Chen Ci only retained the memories from the original story, so he was unaware that Shu Tong had lost her memory.

Of course, she didn't know that she actually didn't remember anything related to medicine.
