Chapter 46: Follow the heroine's path and leave her with no way to go!
The next morning.
When Shen Chaoyan woke up, Sikong Yan was gone.
Being an emperor is not easy. Not only does he have to review endless memorials every day, but he also has to get up before dawn to prepare for the morning court.
She can't be lazy either. Today she has to go to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects to the empress dowager.
However, just as she was about to climb out of the quilt, her hands that were supporting her on the bed felt sore, and she fell back into the quilt. She
almost forgot that this man used her hands last night...
Woohoo, her hands are not clean!
Shen Chaoyan didn't even know when she fell asleep last night.
It was the first time she realized that serving the emperor in bed was a hard job, and rewards were not so easy to get.
The tyrant's body has not recovered yet, but he is so energetic. Who can bear it when he becomes a normal man in the future?
I dare not think about it!
"My lady, I am here."
Lugua opened the door and saw Shen Chaoyan sitting on the bed, staring at her hands in a daze. "It's time to get up. I have to go to Shoukang Palace to pay my respects to the Queen Mother today."
Shen Chaoyan did not respond and continued to look at her hand.
Then, Lugua saw her raise her hand, slowly put it under her nose, sniffed it, and sniffed it again.
"My lady, have you been picking your toes secretly?" Lugua narrowed her eyes, with an expression that understood her very well, "Every time I pick my toes, I also smell them to see if they stink."
Shen Chaoyan was speechless, "Go away! Who is as unhygienic as you? Bring me some warm water, I need to wash my hands!"
"I'll be right there." Lugua felt that her lady was too embarrassed to admit it after being exposed.
She quickly brought a large basin of water.
Shen Chaoyan put her hands in and washed and rubbed them again and again, but she always felt that they were not completely clean.
Alas!
At this time, it would be great if there was hand sanitizer.
"My lady, your hands are all washed white, wipe them quickly! If you delay any longer, you will not have time to pay respects to the Queen Mother!"
Under Lugua's repeated urging, Shen Chaoyan finally finished washing up, changed her clothes and went to Shoukang Palace.
Shoukang Palace.
Before Shen Chaoyan stepped into the threshold, she heard a burst of exclamations from inside.
"Sister Wanpin is really smart and ingenious. She can actually make such a delicate lip balm!"
"Yes, I have never seen such a small lip balm, it makes people like it just by looking at it."
Shen Qingwan listened to the concubines' praise and felt very proud.
Since Lipin's father had an accident and Lipin was driven out of the palace because of Princess Mingyang's poisoning, Shen Qingwan asked the third prince's people to buy a lot of raw materials and quietly developed lipstick.
If she had known that these women were easy to fool, she should have made lipstick earlier to please
the Queen Mother and stun them. At this time, facing the praise of everyone, she smiled humbly, "I just made it for fun, but I didn't expect that this shape of lipstick is very convenient to apply. If you like it, Queen Mother, I will make you a few more colors."
The Queen Mother took the lipstick and nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay, I like it very much! You made the lipstick so small and unique, you really put in a lot of effort!"
Shen Qingwan bowed her head and bowed, "It is my greatest honor to be liked by the Queen Mother."
Yes, no woman in the Great Xia Dynasty can refuse such a novel lipstick!
Instead of waiting eagerly for Sikong Yan's favor, it is better to please the Queen Mother and make this old woman happy. Maybe she can even use her hands to do things.
Besides, the empress dowager's birthday is in a month.
She wants to prepare a unique birthday gift to dazzle everyone at the birthday banquet!
By then, with the ugly things made by these stupid women as a foil, the lip balm she made will surely leave a deep impression on Sikong Yan.
When Sikong Yan is interested in her, she will use modern knowledge to let Sikong Yan know that all the women in the harem, including Shen Chaoyan, are trash with only pretty faces! Let Shen Chaoyan enjoy her
glory for a few more days. After the empress dowager's birthday banquet, she will be the most favored in the harem!
Shen Chaoyan looked at the raised corners of Shen Qingwan's lips and couldn't help asking the Book of Heaven: [Princess Mingyang was poisoned by the conspiracy of Lipin and Shen Qingwan. Why did the tyrant only punish Lipin and let Shen Qingwan go? Is this the halo of the heroine? 】
The Book of Heaven: [Because the tyrant wants to use Shen Qingwan as bait to lay a long line and catch a big fish. 】
The third prince is very cunning, pretending to be an idle prince who has no knowledge. He has a good relationship with several princes of the royal family. If he acts rashly, it will only leave a handle and even cause dissatisfaction among the ministers.
Since Shen Qingwan is his chess piece, the tyrant intends to use Shen Qingwan to catch the third prince's fault.
So that's it.
Shen Chaoyan was relieved, and walked into the crowd of women in two or three steps, and joined everyone in praising Shen Qingwan, "Sister Wanpin is so amazing! Who wouldn't say good things about this kind of lip balm that takes so much thought?"
In the original comic, the third prince relied on Shen Qingwan's advice and used modern technology to make money in various ways in the Great Xia Dynasty, so that he had a rebellion fund.
Thinking of the tragic situation of the Shen family being persecuted by Shen Qingwan and the third prince, Shen Chaoyan immediately decided to intercept her way of making lipstick.
When she washed her hands just now, she wanted to use hand sanitizer.
The heroine Shen Qingwan is really a living Bodhisattva. She actually reminded her in this way that it was time to expand her business territory.
Well, it's time for her shop to expand its business scope.
Not only lip balm, but also perfume, hand sanitizer, and shampoo, she will get involved in all of them.
The main point is to follow the path of the heroine and leave her with nowhere to go!
Shen Qingwan saw Shen Chaoyan coming and curled her red lips, "Sister, it's a coincidence that you came at this time. We were talking about lip balm. Since sister likes it, I will make a few more and give them to everyone later."
She deliberately emphasized the first half of the sentence. Didn't she just want to tell everyone that Shen Chaoyan was late in paying her respects?
However, Shen Chaoyan didn't take her little trick to heart and smiled more brilliantly than her, "Okay, then I'll thank Sister Wanpin first."
Although there are not many concubines in the harem, it will take some time for her to make thirty or forty lipsticks by herself.
Shen Chaoyan hoped that she would waste her time and energy on useless social activities and deal more with the women in the harem, otherwise the funds for the Third Prince's rebellion would be far from being available.
"Sister Wanpin, how do you make your lip balm? I want to ask you for advice!"
"Yes, such a useful lip balm, I also want to learn how to make it. It will be so interesting to use the lip balm made by myself in the future!"
Shen Chaoyan saw that the excitement was not a big deal, "I want to learn it too! Why don't you teach everyone by Sister Wanpin? Anyway, we are all idle and have nothing to do!"
Shufei coughed a few times and stood up from her seat, "Empress Dowager, I am not feeling well, so I will go back first. I am clumsy and not as kind as Sister Wanpin, so I won't join in the excitement." The Queen Mother
knew that Shufei had always been weak, "Shufei, have a good rest, I am tired too, Suqiu, help me lie down for a while, you two can chat by yourselves."
And two days later, at the Prince Jing's Mansion.
Sikong Yu pinched the letter that had been passed around by several confidants before it came to his hand, and his eyebrows couldn't help but tighten.
What happened to Shen Qingwan? Wasn't she quite smart and capable before?
Has she been cursed recently?
I have cleaned up a lot of messes just for her!
She suggested poisoning Huifei's daughter to frame Shen Chaoyan, thus involving Shen Qingyuan's scheme.
What was the result?
Not only did it fail, but it also caused him to lose Zhang Shoujiao's financial support, and even the cheating in the Spring Examination was exposed!
Sikong Yan not only confiscated all of Zhang Shoujiao's property, but also pulled out all his disciples who were placed in the top three of the imperial examinations.
These disciples were carefully selected by Sikong Yu, who planned to let them enter the officialdom first, and when they have a firm foothold in the court, his influence can gradually penetrate the court.
By that time, it would be easy for him to do anything.
Who knew that everything he had carefully planned was destroyed by Sikong Yan, and all turned into nothing!
No!
He can't just sit there and wait for death!
I heard that Sikong Yan has recently favored the daughter of the Minister of Justice. At the Queen Mother's birthday banquet next month, he will find an opportunity to see with his own eyes what is so extraordinary about Shen Chaoyan!
