Chapter 139 Rash
Jingyang Palace, Chenxiang Pavilion.
Xie Guimo was reading a military book, but he was a little absent-minded.
The secret guard jumped in through the window and said, "Sir, the prince wants you to go to his place."
What does the father want him to do?
Not knowing what was going on, Xie Guimo put down the military book, got up and left.
The prince was in the study room in the outer courtyard. Xie Guimo walked in and asked, "What does father want to see me about?"
The prince's eyes swept across his face, "Did you get the rash again last night?"
Xie Guimo took medicine from Shen Tang before returning to Prince Jingyang's Mansion, but the rash did not disappear quickly after taking the medicine, and the rash was still on his face when he returned to the mansion. The servants in the mansion did not know about it, but the secret guards knew and reported it to the prince.
It's very unusual that the rash has appeared twice in just a few days. What's more important is that the rash is related to my own daughter, so I have to report it to the prince.
Xie Guimo said, "It's all right now."
The prince knew that everything was fine. He frowned and asked, "What's going on with the repeated rashes and the rumors?"
Xie Guimo said, "I'm still investigating this matter. I'll tell my father when I find out the truth."
The prince didn't say anything. If his son didn't want to say something, no one could force him to say it.
Xie Guimo came to the study and picked up a few military books to take back. As soon as he returned to the study, a secret guard jumped in from the window. Chen Qi couldn't wait to ask, "Did you find out?"
The secret guard didn't nod or shake his head, and replied, "I bought several boxes of the same rouge in the Rouge Pavilion. I asked several people to check it, and they all said it was the same. Finally, I found a master who was good at identifying scents. The master smelled that someone had added something to Miss Shen's rouge..."
"What was added?" Chen Qi asked.
"Yangmei."
Chen Qi, "......???"
Bayberry?
Are you kidding me?
Xie Guimo's brows were knitted tightly together, "Three boxes of rouge are all added with bayberry?"
The secret guard nodded, "Without exception, they were all added."
…
After lunch, Chen Tang went for a walk in the garden. There was a lotus flower in full bloom in the lotus pond, which was very beautiful.
Chen Tang leaned on the railing of the pavilion, watching the clouds rolling in the sky. Si'er came over and said, "Miss, the old lady asked the marquis to find her and urge him to arrange a marriage for the eldest girl..."
The most important thing for the Marquis' Mansion right now is to marry off Chen Xi.
But the old lady asked my father to arrange a marriage for Shen Xi as soon as possible, which was putting things in a difficult position for my father. It is said that marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations. My father knew clearly that Shen Xi was not his biological daughter and had a bad character, so whoever she married would be a disaster. In the case that Shen Xi had the reputation of being a jinx and no one came to propose to her, the man my father could arrange for her must be a general with whom he had a good relationship. Could my father bring disaster to them?
Definitely not.
And even though the old lady is anxious, there are conditions for arranging a marriage for Chen Xian. The old lady will not look down on those with poor family background. Not to mention promising her a noble status as the Prince of Jingyang, she must at least be the Prince of a Marquisate, and at worst the Prince of an Earl. But Chen Xian is the daughter of the second master and the second wife, and the daughter of the second wife cannot marry so well.
The old lady had been urging Shen Sui for several days, but Shen Sui had not taken it seriously. However, Shen Ying had set her sights on Xiao Huan, so Shen Sui had to pay attention. However, after choosing and choosing, he could not find a suitable one. Moreover, the old lady was urging him too much, which gave Shen Sui a headache.
Chen Tang really didn't know how his father would get through this hurdle. As time went by, the old lady would only become more and more anxious. Even if the old lady had some clues in her heart and suspected that Chen Xian was the second wife's daughter, the second master was also her flesh and blood. It would not be good if Chen Xian's bloody disaster implicated the second master and the second wife.
Chen Tang was wondering who in Kyoto would be a perfect match for Shen Xi. She liked to settle her lifelong affairs in a fait accompli way, so she should fulfill her wish and share her father's worries. But after much thought, there were only two people who were the most suitable.
The Prince of Changping and the Second Prince.
She had no grudges against others, and she couldn't harm them at will. The Prince of Changping and the Second Prince were not good people, and they were a perfect match for Shen Xian. Otherwise, she might as well give Shen Xian to one of them.
But Chen Tang could only think about it, she had no ability to plot against the Marquis of Changping and the Second Prince.
Chen Tang stayed in the garden for a full half hour before returning. As soon as he entered the house, he smelled a strong smell of medicine.
This time, it was Qiu Tong who was decocting medicine by the window.
Seeing Chen Tang coming back, Qiu Tong said, "The girl is back."
Shen Tang's eyes fell on the medicine jar, and Ginkgo asked, "This medicine...?"
Qiu Tong glanced at the window that a certain gentleman usually climbed through, and Ginkgo knew it.
Chen Tang's ears turned red, thinking of her response yesterday, that some bastard drank the medicine and left, Chen Tang wanted to ask Qiu Tong to pour out the medicine.
Who did that bastard take her for? !
Chen Tang was so angry that he didn't notice that there was a food box on the table. Ginkgo saw it and asked, "Where did the food box come from?"
Qiu Tong said, "It was sent together with the medicine."
Gingko walked over and opened the food box, and Chen Tang saw a plate of bayberries in the food box. They were lavender in color and coated with sugar grains, and looked sweet and sour.
Ginkgo said, "There are bayberries so early. I thought it would take another half a month before we could eat them."
The Prince of Jingyang was so thoughtful that he even knew that the girl liked to eat bayberry the most. Not only did he send someone to deliver it to her, he also pickled it with sugar so that it could be eaten directly.
Of all the fruits, Chen Tang's favorite is bayberry. It has a sweet and sour taste and is extremely appetizing. The only drawback is that its season is short, and sometimes you have to eat it quickly or it will be gone after the season.
It has been almost a year since I last ate bayberry. When I saw it this time, I couldn't help it. My mouth was watering. Chen Tang took one and put it in his mouth. The sweet and sour juice spread in his mouth, sweet to the bottom of his heart.
Xie Guimo jumped in through the window and saw Chen Tang leaning on the couch eating bayberries. Seeing him, Chen Tang asked, "How do you know I like to eat bayberries?"
A certain gentleman, "..."
Xie Guimo sat down opposite her, "Are bayberries so delicious?"
Chen Tang looked at him, "You've never eaten it?"
This feels weird.
The dignified Prince of Jingyang has no idea what he wants to eat, only what he likes and what he doesn't like.
But she had never seen Xie Guimo eat bayberry. Chen Tang took the biggest one and handed it to Xie Guimo's mouth, "Try one."
The slender fingers like bamboo shoots, pinching a round bayberry, are very pleasing to the eye.
Xie Guimo lowered his head slightly and kissed Yangmei.
Chen Tang, "..."
The corner of her mouth twitched, "I asked you to eat it, not to kiss Yangmei."
Not only did he kiss her, he even kissed Yangmei.
Is this guy addicted to kissing?
Xie Guimo said, "I may not be able to eat it."
Chen Tang looked at him blankly. What do you mean it may not be edible? What's wrong with eating bayberry? Are you afraid of sourness?
Chen Tang said, "Not sour."
Xie Guimo didn't explain, he just said, "Eat it."
Chen Tang showed off the bayberries one by one. Seeing how happily she ate them, Xie Guimo hoped that it was not the bayberries that caused his rash.
But this hope was soon dashed.
After a while, his neck began to itch.
Chen Tang was shocked and asked, "You, why do you have a rash again?"
