Xiao Yunze rested his chin on Song Tingwan's shoulder, his eyes dark and unclear, "In the imperial family, many things are beyond one's control. Good and evil are just a matter of thought."
"Wanwan, if I became the emperor, would you still be willing to stay by my side?"
Song Tingwan felt a tightness in his chest and didn't know how to answer.
She had indeed wanted to help him defend Daqing and avoid a tragic death, but she had never thought about what would happen next.
If Xiao Yunze became the emperor, even if he wanted to have only her, would those ministers agree?
They must have racked their brains to find a way to send their daughters into the palace.
What's more, this place is too far away.
She has friends all over the world and her own career.
It’s okay to stay for a short period of time, just treat it as a trip.
But she couldn't give up everything there for him...
Song Tingwan trembled with his lips, and finally sighed silently.
"It's late, let's go back."
Xiao Yunze's eyelashes trembled, and his arms tightened, as if he wanted to rub her into his body, and he whispered "OK" in her ear.

Before going to bed, while she hadn't washed up yet, Song Tingwan called Lu Yang and Hong Dou over and pointed to the two sets of toiletries on the table and explained patiently.
"This is toothpaste and a toothbrush. They'll make your teeth clean. You saw me use them this morning, so I won't say more."
Seeing them both nod, Song Tingwan asked again: "Do you put anything on your face after washing it?"
Lu Yang and Hong Dou looked at each other and shook their heads.
"What about the ladies of wealthy families? Do they put anything on their faces?"
Lu Yang nodded and said, "We have facial cream. Whether it's a young lady from an aristocratic family or a lady in the palace, they all use facial cream. Steward Mu also prepared some for the young lady."
Song Tingwan looked around the room, "Where is it? Why can't I see it?"
Hongdou was very smart and hurried to get it.
"Miss, this is the facial cream. You used your own stuff this morning, so this one wasn't used."
Song Tingwan took it and looked at it.
It is a small bowl-shaped porcelain bottle.
When I removed the lid, the white paste inside was revealed. The surface of the paste was smooth and untouched.
It has a light fragrance, very clear and moist feeling, and you can also smell a bit of musk.
Song Tingwan rubbed a little with her fingers and spread it on the back of her hand.
It's quite hydrating, which is totally enough for this dry winter.
Tsk, then these lotions and creams she brought are of no use to me, right?
Song Tingwan thought for a moment and then asked, "What do you use to take a bath and wash your hair?"
Lu Yang and Hong Dou looked at each other and said uncertainly, "If Miss wants to take a bath now, shall I go down and ask them to boil water?"
Thinking that he hadn't showered yet, Song Tingwan nodded and said, "Go ahead."
After Lu Yang left, Song Tingwan looked at Hong Dou again, "Hong Dou, can you bring me the things I need for bathing and washing my hair?"
"Yes, miss."
After a while, Song Tingwan looked at the things on the table and pursed her lips.
Very good, I don’t know any of them.
Song Tingwan pointed at a lump of mud-like substance and asked in confusion, "Hongdou, what is this for?"
Hongdou bowed slightly and said, "Miss, this is tea bran, it can clean your hair."
Song Tingwan raised her eyebrows. Wouldn't this tea bran be like mud and remain in the hair and be impossible to wash off?
I haven't tried it yet, so I'm not sure, maybe the next one...
Song Tingwan pointed to a small wooden bowl filled with crumbs and asked, "What is this?"
"Miss, this is soapberry, also used for washing hair."
Song Tingwan nodded. She knew how to wash her hair with soap nuts.
Many shampoos now contain soap nuts because of their strong cleaning ability.
Song Tingwan looked at the last thing.
It is a slightly larger wooden box, filled with spherical objects.
"Anko, is this for bathing?"
Anko nodded, "Yes, ma'am. This is made from soapberry and flower petals. It leaves a light fragrance on your body after washing."
Song Tingwan raised an eyebrow, "Does the fragrance last long?"
Hongdou was stunned by the question and thought for a moment before answering, "My lady, I've never taken a flower petal bath before, so I don't know if it can retain its scent. However, your clothes are scented every day, so they will still retain their fragrance when you wear them."
Song Tingwan stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully.
If the scent of soapberry and petals doesn't last long after washing, then wouldn't there be a huge market for the shower gel she brings with its superb fragrance-keeping ability?
Song Tingwan snapped his fingers and said, "Very good, I will use this soapberry and petals to wash tonight."
As she spoke, Song Tingwan picked up the large bottle of shower gel on the table and said, "Hongdou, you and Luyang should use this to wash tonight."
Hongdou hurriedly refused, "Miss, I can't do that. Your things look like they are all unprecedented and must be extremely precious. How can I, a servant, be worthy of them..."
"Tsk." Song Tingwan stuffed the shower gel into her hand. "I told you not to call yourselves slaves in front of me. I never regarded you and Lu Yang as my servants."
"I'm planning to do something in this huge capital, and I need your help. Can you help me test these things to see if they work?"
Outside the house, Lu Yang came back from boiling water and happened to see this scene.
Seeing the goddess speaking to Hongdou so tenderly, Lu Yang's tears suddenly flowed down.
She couldn't explain the emotion in her heart, was it the grievances of the past, gratitude for the present, or maybe both.
