Chapter 6 The belt is torn off
“Pah.”
Aunt Gui walked up, slapped Cao Lu in the face, and scolded her, "You can't even serve tea properly! Get out of here!"
Concubine Fang no longer had the heart to speak, and sent Shen Lingshu away with Jasmine.
"Concubine, this Concubine Chen is too rude." Nanny Gui frowned. When the concubine in front wanted to torture someone, she asked them to bow and not stand up, and served them scalding hot tea. Which of them didn't endure it?
"The prince attaches great importance to rules." Concubine Fang's eyes flashed slightly. No matter whether she was pretending or really doing it, the prince would definitely not like it.
"Go to the front yard and ask for Doctor Lin."
As Concubine Fang spoke, her hand fell on her lower abdomen. The most important thing now is to have a baby!
…
"Phew, I was scared to death."
Zhu Xin left Qiutang Courtyard, her face pale with fear. She said, "Master, when you threw the tea just now, Madam Gui's yelling scared me so much that my heart almost jumped out of my chest."
Zhu Xin held the flower, her face full of fear. She asked worriedly, "Master, it's all burned red."
"It's okay, I lost it quickly."
Shen Lingshu quickly returned to her Youlan Courtyard. As soon as she entered the yard, Cha Yu came up to her and said, "Master, what beautiful jasmine flowers there are. They smell so good!"
"It's naturally beautiful because it's a gift from the concubine." Shen Lingshu's eyes deepened slightly. As a concubine, apart from Zhuxin who she had always taken care of, Chayu was the one assigned by Concubine Fang to serve her.
It is said to be serving, but in fact, it is surveillance.
"The flowers given by the concubine should naturally be placed in a conspicuous place."
Shen Lingshu pointed to the most conspicuous place on the shelf and said, "Put this flower here, and you can smell its fragrance every day."
"Okay." Chayu volunteered to arrange the flowers.
Shen Lingshu said: "Chayu, go and bring the food. By the way, tell the kitchen to make lotus chicken, and ask them to make glutinous rice balls and taro crisps."
After she told Chayu how to cook, she went to the kitchen.
"Zhu Xin, guard the door."
Shen Lingshu gave the order, and after Cha Yu left, she directly took the jasmine flower out, pulled the flower hard, and a layer of soil at the bottom of the flowerpot was exposed.
"Why does it taste weird?" Zhu Xin was confused.
"It's musk."
Shen Lingshu smelled it carefully, raised her eyebrows, and looked as if it was just as she expected.
In order to prevent the concubine in the backyard of the palace from getting pregnant, Concubine Fang tried every possible means. Not only did she bathe with infertile cold stone powder, she also gave her flowers embedded with musk.
Zhu Xin's eyes widened, she covered her mouth, and exclaimed, "Won't this make people infertile?"
"But, this, wouldn't it be easy for people to find out?" Zhu Xin was puzzled.
"Go dig some clean soil and replace the soil under the flowers." Shen Lingshu urged, "Move quickly."
"yes."
Zhu Xin moved quickly, and the master and servant changed the flower mud. Zhu Xin wiped Shen Lingshu's hands and asked doubtfully: "Aren't we keeping evidence? How could the concubine harm the master like this!"
"Silly girl, how can a little flower mud be considered evidence of a crime?"
Shen Lingshu chuckled, her eyes fell on the blue and white porcelain flowerpot. The real evidence was on the flowerpot.
Cha Yu left Youlan Courtyard and went straight to Qiutang Courtyard, saying, "Madam Gui, Aunt Chen loves jasmine and has placed it in the most conspicuous place in the hall."
Aunt Gui praised him and said, "Your brother's illness has been cured."
"Thank you, Ma'am."
Chayu went to the kitchen happily, remembering the recipe of lotus chicken all the way, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why eat lotus chicken? Taro crisps, it's just a concubine, it's so troublesome."
Youlan Courtyard.
The rewards from the concubine and the prince came one after another. The concubine gave a piece of colorful satin and a gold-patterned hairpin, the colors of which were bright and vivid.
The prince's reward was a piece of the most fashionable soft smoke silk, pink fabric, light and comfortable, and a butterfly hairpin inlaid with kingfisher feathers and gems.
Without some money, you really can't be a master. How much wealth does it take to reward every person who comes in?
"Zhu Xin, take this soft smoke silk and cut out some clothes to wear tonight." Shen Lingshu asked uncertainly, "Can you cut it out today?"
If she remembered correctly, Zhuxin was very good at needlework.
"Yes, but it's too late to embroider the pattern."
Zhu Xin took the material and started cutting clothes directly. Her movements were so smooth that Shen Lingshu was stunned.
"It's okay. Such beautiful soft smoke silk looks better in plain colors." After Shen Lingshu had a simple lunch, she lay on the couch and fell asleep soon.
Tonight, she will serve the prince again!
When she thought of King Lin’s rude look yesterday, Shen Lingshu had to quickly replenish her strength, otherwise, she was afraid that she would die in bed.
For dinner, lotus chicken was served, accompanied by rice wine balls. Shen Lingshu took a bite and praised: "This chef's cooking skills are good."
The sweet rice wine balls, crispy on the outside and juicy lotus chicken on the inside, are her favorite flavor.
"Chef Li complained that this lotus chicken was difficult to make. I spent a lot of time and effort to persuade him, and he spent five taels of silver before he made it."
In Chayu's words, the emphasis is on the five taels of silver.
Shen Lingshu, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, suddenly felt that the chicken leg in her hand was no longer fragrant.
You still have to compete for favor, otherwise, such delicious lotus-flavored chicken and rice wine meatballs may not be available for you even with money in the future.
Shen Lingshu wiped her mouth, digested her food in the yard, and then asked someone to prepare water for a bath. She was covered in the scent of jasmine.
She wanted the prince to think of her whenever he smelled jasmine.
"Master, you smell so good, so fragrant and beautiful!"
Zhu Xin took the newly cut clothes and put them on her. The bright red bellyband formed a strong contrast with her snow-white skin. She was thin where she should be thin, and plump and voluptuous where she should have flesh.
Not to mention men, even a woman like her would blush and her heart would beat faster when she saw it.
Time passed little by little, Chayu dozed off at the door, Zhuxin stood at the door and looked out. It was dark outside. She went back to the room and saw Shen Lingshu, who had fallen asleep on the couch and almost fell to the ground when she turned over.
"Master, be careful." Zhu Xin took two steps at a time and supported her.
"What time is it? Hasn't the prince come yet?" Shen Lingshu asked, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"No." Zhu Xin said worriedly, "It's so late, maybe..." he won't come.
Shen Lingshu said firmly: "He will come." Prince Lin's words are golden and he will never go back on his word.
After taking a nap, Shen Lingshu felt alive again. She stretched herself and suddenly turned around to see Prince Lin in black clothes standing beside the screen.
Under the dim flickering candlelight, his handsome face looked even more charming.
Shen Lingshu was startled, twisted her feet, and rushed towards him. In a hurry, her hands directly grabbed his belt.
Shen Lingshu grabbed her belt in disbelief, her dark robe opened wide, revealing her white underwear...
