Bai Yanyan: "..."
"Daddy, I didn't expect you to be so handsome. You turned out to be a monkey transformed into a spirit. Could it be that you are the legendary Sun Wukong?!"
Bai Yun smiled, but rarely answered, as if he had remembered something and was lost in memories. Bai Yanyan also propped up her chin and looked at him, curiously thinking about what kind of woman could make a man like her father like her.
At least she is very beautiful, and her strength should be comparable to her father. As for her personality... to be able to conquer a person with a bad temper, she must either be very gentle or even more irritable.
This Yingfeng Banquet wasn't as good as the previous palace banquets, which were more lively. This one was less crowded and more solemn, but the food was still good, especially the cakes and crabs! Seeing that she loved them, Bai Yun not only gave her his own but also took some from the official next door.
"The eldest princess has returned from her trip, and Qingqing has specially prepared a gift for you."
A familiar voice came, Bai Yanyan raised her head, and saw Shen Qingqing in luxurious clothes.
Shen Qingqing seemed to have just come in. Beside her was Xuanyuan Che, who was also dressed noble. The two stood side by side, and Shen Qingqing was smiling and looking at the eldest princess sitting next to Emperor Yongding.
All the scars on Shen Qingqing's face have disappeared. Her face is so white that you can almost squeeze water out of it, and... there is a faint fragrance on her body. She stands straight and her whole body exudes radiance.
"It turns out to be Qingqing."
The eldest princess smiled and said, "When I saw you before, you were still a child. I didn't expect that you have grown into such a graceful lady in just a few years. I also heard that you married Che'er."
"Yes, this is also thanks to the emperor's grace."
Shen Qingqing smiled gently, "When I was at the Bai family, I heard that the princess wanted the Thousand Mountain Snow Lotus. But at that time, the princess was away for training. Now, after six years, she has finally returned. Qingqing specially gave this Thousand Mountain Snow Lotus to you. I hope the princess will not dislike it."
"How could it be, Qingqing has a heart."
The princess had someone accept the gift. Shen Qingqing then said, "Princess, Qingqing once tried to make an elixir under your guidance. She has learned a lot in the past few years. Some time ago, she also researched and refined this beauty ointment in the mansion. Applying it can make the skin white, tender, smooth, and emit a light fragrance."
As she spoke, she took out an exquisite little box and opened it. The faint floral scent wafted out.
Bai Yanyan: ???
Isn’t this her Ma Yinglong...? However, Shen Qingqing seemed to have improved it a bit, adding a little bit of floral scent. The fragrance was even stronger, so strong that it could be smelled from ten meters away.
"Thank you, Qingqing." The eldest princess smiled and her expression didn't change much, but the concubines stared at the box in Shen Qingqing's hand, and even the queen stared at it closely.
When will Shen Qingqing learn to make pills?
And why is this beauty ointment the same as the one they bought at Siye Dan Pavilion?
but…
The queen's eyes fell on Shen Qingqing. Looking at her face which had changed drastically compared to a while ago, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.
She spent so much money to buy the whitening cream, but it was not even as good as the one made by Shen Qingqing!
Bai Yanyan naturally sensed the changes in her surroundings. She rolled her eyes and then said with a smile, "This smells quite nice, a familiar scent."
When the clear voice came, Shen Qingqing looked up and saw Bai Yanyan next to Bai Yun.
When she came in just now, she saw Bai Yun the first time, but Bai Yun was in front of Bai Yanyan, and Bai Yanyan was eating with her head down, so Shen Qingqing didn't notice. Now seeing Bai Yanyan, she was stunned for a moment and then laughed out loud, "So it's my younger sister. I didn't expect my younger sister to enter the palace too."
"Who is your sister? My father only had me, so don't recognize any relatives randomly."
Shen Qingqing originally thought that in the palace, in front of so many people, especially Bai Yun, Bai Yanyan would at least maintain a superficial pretense with her.
But she didn't expect that she didn't give herself face at all. Shen Qingqing's face changed immediately, but she quickly reacted and bit her lower lip, "Sister, don't say that. I know I made you angry, but no matter what, you are also my sister."
"I say you're such an interesting person. I just said something, and you actually rushed to acknowledge me as your sister? How come you love me? Tell me if you need love, and I won't give it to you even if you tell me."
Shen Qingqing: "...sister."
Bai Yanyan: "If you keep claiming relatives randomly, I'll beat you up!"
Shen Qingqing: “…”
She bit the corner of her lip and looked at Bai Yun with grievance, but Bai Yun didn't even look at her. He even pulled Bai Yanyan, who had stood up excitedly, back and asked her to sit down, then handed her the crab meat he had just shaved.
Raising a daughter is really troublesome.
Even eating crabs requires him to prepare it for me!
Why don’t you learn from him and not eat this stuff!
Everyone present, including Emperor Yongding, saw Bai Yun's attitude, so even though Emperor Yongding was somewhat displeased with Bai Yanyan's arrogant words just now, he did not dare to say anything.
Bai Yun has a bad temper and is very protective of his daughter.
If he dared to say anything bad about Bai Yanyan in front of Bai Yun, he would probably destroy the Qingyuan Palace. Now that the national treasury is empty and Master Mu has been injured, he cannot act recklessly.
Princess Yongning also looked at Bai Yun in surprise.
She and Bai Yun were of similar age and grew up together. She knew Bai Yun's character best. She had heard before that he had brought back an illegitimate daughter from outside and was extremely protective of her. She had thought it was just a joke at the time, but now it seemed to be true.
Or...it's also possible what the emperor said.
Princess Yongning's eyes fell on Bai Yanyan, with a hint of deep meaning. Bai Yanyan finished eating the crab meat and handed another crab to Bai Yun, "Daddy, this crab is so delicious. I want more."
Bai Yun: "...why don't you get fat to death?"
He looked disgusted but started peeling the crab again. Bai Yanyan smiled sweetly and then set her eyes on Shen Qingqing, "Third Prince Consort, the smell on you is really familiar to me."
"Sister... Miss Bai, the fragrance on my body is because I applied the beauty ointment I refined. This ointment can not only whiten the skin but also keep it soft and tender, and it also has a fragrance. If you want it, I will refine some for you when I get back, okay?"
Shen Qingqing maintained her composure, as if she was full of tolerance towards Bai Yanyan, not caring at all about what she had just said. Bai Yanyan smiled brightly, "That's not necessary. I also have your plaster."
She has it too?
A hint of panic flashed across Shen Qingqing's eyes, but she calmed down the next second. "I heard there's a pill shop opened in the city. They sell a lot of whitening pills there. You must have bought them there, right? I know the owner of that shop, Feng, and I've even given him advice on how to make that ointment."
