Chapter 125: Give His Highness Fragrance Powder
Xiao Jinyan said this because he wanted Shen Chuwei to be braver and not have to rely on drinking to build up his courage.
Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan in confusion. What did this mean?
How come she doesn't know that she has improper thoughts about Xiao Jinyan?
Xiao Jinyan knew Shen Chuwei's sleepy nature, so he reminded her, "Go to sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow."
Shen Chuwei thought hard but couldn't figure out why Xiao Jinyan knew about her improper thoughts about him.
The next day, Shen Chuwei was woken up by Chunxi. She was half asleep and grumbled a little dissatisfiedly: "Let me sleep a little longer."
"My lady, you and the prince have to go pay respects to the Empress today, so you can't be late."
Shen Chuwei slowly opened his eyes and looked at Chunxi, and after a long while he uttered, "I am in the palace, and I have no control over anything!"
It's so hard to sleep until you wake up naturally~
During breakfast, Liu Xi walked in with a smile on her face, "Shen Liang Di, His Highness is waiting."
Shen Chuwei had just finished a bowl of porridge and had to put down her bowl and chopsticks with great reluctance.
Liu Xi added: "His Highness asked you to prepare some side dishes to take with you."
Shen Chuwei ordered: "Chunxi, go prepare some side dishes."
"I'll go right away." Chunxi went to prepare the side dishes with brisk steps.
Before Shen Chuwei left, he held a meat bun in one hand and ate it as he walked.
You Chunxi carried the food box to the prince's bedroom.
Not long after leaving Xiyun Pavilion, Shen Chuwei finished the two meat buns in her hand. She took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth.
Arriving at the prince's bedroom, Shen Chuwei carefully followed Xiao Jinyan to the Fengyi Palace.
This was her second visit to Fengyi Palace, and she still found it magnificent.
The Empress was sitting on the couch, holding a glass cup in her hand, drinking bird's nest, a holy product for beauty and skin care.
Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan slowly and walked forward to greet him.
"Your son pays respects to your mother."
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."
The Queen raised her eyes and saw that it was the Crown Prince with Shen Liangdi. She said calmly, "Get up."
"Thank you, mother."
"Thank you, Queen."
Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan and stood up.
Xiao Jinyan said, "Mother, Shen Liangdi brought some side dishes."
The queen's mouth has been sloppy these days. When she heard about Xiaocai, her eyes lit up, "Really? Bring it to me for a look."
Chunxi took the food box and walked forward a few steps, presenting it with both hands.
Qingying took the food box and turned to the low table. She opened the food box and took a look inside. It was the side dish that the Queen had eaten a few days ago.
She smiled and handed it to the Queen, "Your Majesty, take a look."
The queen took a look inside the food box and saw familiar side dishes such as pickled beans and dried radishes. A hint of smile appeared in her eyes. "Shen Liangdi is thoughtful. The food in my palace is not very good. These side dishes will make me more hungry."
What this means is that I like this kind of thing and will accept anyone who comes.
Shen Chuwei secretly raised her head and glanced at the Empress a few times, but she did not dare to look at her any longer, as looking directly at Feng Yan was a crime of treason.
The Queen Mother thought about her youngest son's marriage. She looked at the Crown Prince and said, "By the way, Yu'er is already sixteen years old. I want to marry him a concubine. As the Crown Prince, what do you think of the Left Prime Minister's daughter?"
She has two sons, so she can always count on the eldest to give her a grandson first, right?
Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyebrows and nodded: "Mother, the daughter of the left prime minister is gentle, kind, virtuous and virtuous. Since it is Yu'er who is marrying a wife and taking a concubine, it would be better for you to ask him for his opinion."
The Queen nodded, "The Crown Prince is right, but I think the daughter of the Left Prime Minister is good and suitable to be a concubine. Yu'er should like her."
Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyebrows and did not respond.
After paying her respects, Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan and left Fengyi Palace.
On the way, Shen Chuwei grabbed her handkerchief and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, what kind of incense does the Queen use in the palace?"
Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Chuwei: "What's wrong with the agarwood burning in the harem of my mother?"
Shen Chuwei said, "I smell something wrong with the fragrance. Your Highness, it would be safer to ask Doctor Yu to take a look at the Empress."
Xiao Jinyan frowned, "How do you know there's something wrong with the scent?"
Shen Chuwei hooked his finger at Xiao Jinyan with a mysterious look on his face: "Your Highness, please come closer."
Xiao Jinyan moved closer to Shen Chuwei with doubt. Because of the height difference, he needed to lean over to get closer to her.
Shen Chuwei tiptoed and whispered in Xiao Jinyan's ear: "Because I know some medical skills, I am more sensitive to fragrance."
Shen Chuwei did not dare to exaggerate his medical skills. Just like in modern times, he wanted to be an unknown little salted fish.
Xiao Jinyan's brows furrowed even more tightly. Who dared to tamper with the incense in his mother's palace?
Shen Chuwei saw that Xiao Jinyan remained silent and thought that she had no evidence to support her words and no one would believe her easily.
"If your highness doesn't believe me, you can ask Doctor Yu to take a look first."
Xiao Jinyan stared at Shen Chuwei for a while, "I believe you."
Shen Chuwei's eyebrows curved slightly, "Then Your Highness, do you want to bring Doctor Yu to see the Empress now?"
Xiao Jinyan hesitated for a moment and said, "It would be too sudden for me to take Doctor Yu there now, and it would cause a stir."
Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement.
"Your Highness, Prince Yu has a girlfriend now, and the Queen is going to marry him a wife and concubine, so what should we do with his girlfriend?"
After asking all the questions, Shen Chuwei realized that she had asked something she shouldn't have asked.
Prince Yu is a prince, so it is certain that he has three wives and four concubines, which is different from modern times.
Xiao Jinyan asked in confusion: "What girlfriend?"
Shen Chuwei tried to explain: "It's a relationship between a couple, a relationship between a man and a woman before they get married."
When Xiao Jinyan reacted, Shen Chuwei had imagined that he and Chang Liangdi were a couple.
"How do you know there's a woman with him?"
"Prince Yu brought his girlfriend to Xiyun Pavilion..." Shen Chuwei realized that she had said the wrong thing and cleverly changed her words: "She came to dine. I have seen her. She is a very beautiful lady."
"He's really fast." Xiao Jinyan asked again: "What do you think of that woman?"
Shen Chuwei said: "I think it's fine."
When Xiao Jinyan thought about how Shen Chuwei only cared about eating, how could he tell if there was anything wrong with that woman?
Look who is pretty good?
Shen Chuwei took out a bag of sachets from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, this is for you."
Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyes to look at the small package in her hand and asked her, "What is this?"
Shen Chuwei tiptoed closer to Xiao Jinyan's ear and said, "Your Highness, this is scented powder. Just a little bit of it will make your face turn red."
Xiao Jinyan immediately understood what Shen Chuwei meant when he heard this. He took the sachet from her hand and said, "I accept it."
He then asked, "By the way, besides getting your face red, are there any other harms from using scented powder?"
Shen Chu shook his head slightly: "There is no other harm. If you get the scented powder on your face, your face will turn red at best, and your face will swell up at worst. It will go away automatically within three days. But if your face is red and swollen, you need to apply a lot of scented powder."
