Hou Mansion.
Su Xianzheng and his wife are practicing beauty prescriptions.
A separate courtyard was crowded with people and the aroma of medicine overflowed.
Suddenly a servant came to report that Her Majesty the Queen had arrived, and Princess Lanling also came to Linhou Mansion.
"Your Majesty and the princess are here together?"
Su Xian wondered. As far as he knew, the queen rarely left the palace...Wait a minute, couldn't they have come here just to take care of themselves?
Probably.
Su Xian immediately left the house to pick them up. After seeing the queen and princess, he asked, and it turned out that they were here for beauty treatments.
Su Xian's balls ached slightly. Is the appeal of this beauty remedy so powerful?
But they have all come, and there is no way they can rush out.
Su Xian invited them into the Hou Mansion and went to the yard where they practiced the beauty formula.
Tang Shuwan, Liu Huixiang and the servants in the palace met the queen, and the girls forgot about their status and rank, and got together to chat and study beauty remedies, which was full of enthusiasm.
Beside the courtyard, Su Xian was stunned——
He always felt that the scene in front of him was too magical. She was a high and mighty queen, and she actually looked very close to Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang.
Like sisters!
This is really shocking...
It takes a whole morning to brew this powerful medicine. It is only morning now, and the vigorous "medicine brewing" of the girls has just begun.
Su Xian was not idle either, looking around in the courtyard.
Firstly, they were careful to prevent Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang from offending the queen and princess. Secondly, they were also afraid of accidents. For example, boiling medicine required fire, so a fire was a small matter. What if the girls were injured?
Half an hour later, the first stage of brewing the medicine was over.
Princess Lanling found an opportunity and walked straight out of the courtyard. Before leaving, she glanced at Su Xian meaningfully, her eyes slightly complicated.
Su Xian was stunned for a moment and understood Lan Ling's intention. When no one was paying attention, he hurriedly followed Lan Ling quietly to the foot of a willow tree outside the courtyard.
It's a sunny day today, and the bright sunshine falls through the layers of wicker branches, scattering mottled light and shadow all over the place.
"When did the Taiwei return to Beijing?"
Lan Ling turned her back to Su Xian and spoke coldly. The mottled light and shadow on her purple palace skirt floated in the wind, which was very beautiful.
As soon as Su Xian heard Lan Ling's words and her tone, she knew that Lan Ling was insecure again.
He turned around and looked around. It was drafty on all sides and someone could approach at any time. It was not a good place for conversation, so he suggested:
"Princess, let's... find a secluded room."
"Get a room?"
Lan Ling was shocked, turned around, and stared at Su Xian warily.
At the same time, he protected his chest with both hands, as if he was determined to protect something to the death.
But the next moment, she may feel that the movements of her hands were too deliberate, and immediately put them down, but still stared at Su Xian and asked: "It's still a hidden room? What do you want to do?!"
"Well……"
Su Xian was speechless. He raised his eyes and glanced at the part Lan Ling had just protected, and a flash of light could not help but appear in his eyes.
Lan Ling's complexion suddenly changed, and he took half a step back. The look of vigilance on his face became even stronger, with an expression of "Sure enough," and he said in a serious voice:
"Your Majesty is still here, and you just want to mess around?"
Su Xian smiled bitterly in his heart and thought to himself: "Beautiful women are pretentious, but women who are beautiful and have a noble status cannot be followed."
In fact, as far as the little things between them were concerned, Lanling was very resistant every time before it started.
But later on, she seemed to be a completely different person. She was enjoying it and was intoxicated. It felt like Su Xian was forcing her every time... Isn't this hypocritical?
"Princess, there is something very important that I want to tell the princess, but it is not appropriate here." Su Xian explained quickly.
"Is that so?" Lan Ling looked suspicious, his eyes burning and scrutinizing.
"Yes!"
"Then... let's go." Lan Ling said nothing and walked forward without caring about Su Xian. He also forgot that he was not familiar with the Hou Mansion.
Su Xian was stunned for a moment, then shouted behind him:
"Princess, don't worry, there is no room over there, please come with me."
"Didn't you tell me earlier?!"
Lan Ling turned his head and scolded.
Su Xian's word "anxious" made her almost jump in embarrassment. Her charming face was stained with clouds, and she glared at Su Xian fiercely.
There was another courtyard nearby that was uninhabited and filled with debris. Su Xian and Lan Ling came here one after another, randomly found a room and opened the door.
After gently closing the door, Su Xian turned around and bowed to Lan Ling.
Lan Ling panicked, thinking that Su Xian was going to pounce on her after closing the door, so she subconsciously stepped back. At this time, Su Xian's voice came:
"Princess, I heard yesterday about a prescription that can keep women young forever. The name is called Women's Beauty Prescription."
"I am thinking that after I obtain the prescription today and successfully refine the medicine, I will personally deliver it to the princess's house and present it to Her Highness."
"But I never thought that the princess would live in a humble abode with His Majesty..."
Only then did Lan Ling realize that he had wrongly blamed Su Xian, and felt relieved.
But then there was a faint dissatisfaction. In anger, Lan Ling's voice was slightly hard and he said:
"You and I are like grasshoppers on a rope. You should come to see me as soon as possible after you return to Beijing! What kind of women's beauty regimen? It doesn't matter!"
"Yes, yes, I was negligent. Then...is it okay for me to transfer the princess's beauty recipe to His Majesty?" Su Xian said with a "serious" look on his face.
"You..." Lan Ling took a deep breath and said angrily: "No! Don't miss out on my share. You can give the prescription to me later."
Su Xian had a look of embarrassment on his face: "But princess, Doctor Li has repeatedly issued orders not to allow me to pass on the prescription to anyone else!"
"Huh?" Lan Ling stared.
Her confidence reached its peak after learning that Su Xian didn't "deliberately not see her" or "didn't forget to see her".
The majestic and domineering Princess Lanling is back again.
A desire for conquest arose in Su Xian's heart. The more noble and majestic Lan Ling was, the more like a powerful princess, the more excited he felt.
His eyes became wild, looking at Lan Ling's figure wantonly, a curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he smiled:
"It's okay if I give the prescription to the princess, but the princess needs to compensate me well, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to Dr. Li."
"What compensation do you want?" Lan Ling glared again. She had a premonition of something, her heartbeat accelerated and her face became hot.
"I want to eat……"
Before Su Xian finished speaking, there was no sound in the room.
A quarter of an hour later.
The two of them just walked out of the room one after the other.
After tidying up their appearance a little, they returned to the small courtyard where the medicine was cooked.
The Queen, Tang Shuwan, Liu Huixiang, and everyone in the courtyard were sitting in a row around the boiler where the medicine was boiled, and no one noticed that the two of them had left and returned.
Continue to cook the medicine...
Suddenly, the queen glanced sideways and saw Su Xian and said, "Doctor Li lives in the Taiwei's mansion. Why don't we invite Dr. Li to come and take charge in person? This can also avoid possible accidents."
"That makes sense, I'll go and invite him right away."
Su Xian didn't think too much and went to Li Qingniu's residence to invite him over.
Li Qingniu was a veteran. He took a few glances at the boiler where the medicine was boiled and asked several questions. After correcting them one by one, he twisted his beard and said with a smile:
"That's right, this great medicine can be perfectly prepared before lunch!"
The girls were all happy when they heard this, and they were all looking forward to it silently.
Li Qingniu smiled and suddenly saw a woman wearing a mask, guarding the queen's side vigilantly. It was Du Juan, the leader of the inner guard.
He suddenly remembered that the two jars of "Nine Branches of Nectar" that Su Xian received were both obtained from this woman. Maybe this woman still had some inventory in her hands. It would be great if she could avoid Su Xian who was "making the difference". .
As soon as his mind moved, Li Qingniu walked up to the Chief of the Pavilion: "Master of the Great Pavilion, we meet again. There is one thing I want to talk to the Chief of the Pavilion..."
On the side, Su Xian's heart was shaken violently.
He did not collude with the chief of the pavilion in advance about the second altar of nine branches of nectar. If the chief of the pavilion leaked the news... Li Qingniu would not be able to jump up!
"Master!"
In desperation, Su Xian ran over quickly and stood between the Dage leader and Li Qingniu. First he winked wildly at the Dage leader, and then persuaded Li Qingniu:
"The Grand Pavilion Leader is responsible for His Majesty's safety. You must not be distracted. Furthermore, the Grand Pavilion Leader is in charge of the internal guards. His identity is too sensitive. If Master has anything to do, let me convey it to you."
The chief of the pavilion looked sideways and frowned secretly.
Although she didn't know what Su Xian was up to, she knew that Su Xian was extremely favored by the Queen, and even she didn't dare to do anything to Su Xian.
Naturally, she could only stand on Su Xian's side.
Therefore, she first deliberately glanced at Li Qingniu coldly, then turned sideways, with a cold "don't mess with me" look.
When Li Qingniu saw this, he had no choice but to give up and quickly left the place with his hands behind his back, returning to the courtyard where he lived.
Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that if he uses "Nine Branches of Nectar" to fool Li Qingniu again in the future, he must first say hello to the chief of the cabinet, otherwise he will face the situation just now.
The Queen watched with cold eyes, taking in everything that happened just now.
With an unpredictable expression, she suddenly walked towards the courtyard gate and waved to Su Xian, indicating to follow.
Su Xian didn't think too much and followed the queen out of the yard. She happened to come under the willow tree where she had just met Princess Lanling, and the queen stopped.
"Su Aiqing, please find a relatively private place. I have something to ask you." The Queen said calmly.
"According to the order."
Su Xian guessed in his mind what the Queen wanted to ask him about, so he led the Queen all the way to the yard next door and pushed away the room where he and Lan Ling had just stayed.
After the door was closed, the Queen asked directly:
"Just now, why did Su Aiqing stop Doctor Li from talking to Du Juan?"
"Uh..." Su Xian thought for a moment and was ready to tell the truth. He got the women's beauty formula that made all the girls crazy in exchange for "Nine Branches of Nectar".
"Su Aiqing still has nine branches of nectar?"
The queen was surprised. The reason why Su Xian was able to ask Li Qingniu to diagnose and treat her old illness last time was because Su Xian exchanged a jar of nine-branch nectar.
And she also knew that Su Xian had been hiding the truth from Li Qingniu, pretending that Nine Branches of Manna was the collection of the Grand Pavilion Leader...
Unexpectedly, Su Xian would do the same thing again this time.
The Queen raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile: "How many altars of Nine Branches of Nectar does Su Aiqing still have?"
Su Xian slowly raised three fingers.
"Three altars?" the queen guessed.
"It's not three altars, but three... ten altars!" Su Xian didn't dare to say it clearly, because if the Queen asked him for it, the trump card in his hand would be gone.
"Thirty altars!"
But even so, the Queen was very shocked, and her smile bloomed like a peony in bloom: "I am the Queen of Daliang, the ninth-five-year-old queen, and it seems that I have never tasted this famous wine that has been extinct for hundreds of years!"
Su Xian's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly bowed and said: "When I turn around, I will send the remaining thirty jars of fine wine to the palace, but it is up to Your Majesty to deal with it."
The Queen was overjoyed when she heard this. She looked at Su Xian and nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"I'm very happy that Su Aiqing has such a heart, but I'll skip thirty altars. Su Aiqing will send one to the palace tonight, and we'll continue to enjoy the moon and flowers!"
"According to the order!"
Su Xian felt relieved and sent thirty jars of fine wine to the palace. He was really reluctant to part with it.
Suddenly, the Queen wrinkled her nose, got closer to Su Xian and took a closer sniff. She raised her beautiful eyebrows and stared at Su Xian with burning eyes: "Su Aiqing...how can there be a woman's powdery fragrance on her body?"
"The scent of women's powder? No!" Su Xian's heart skipped a beat. He had been intimate with Lan Ling not long ago. Could it be that he got it at that time?
If the Queen notices it... it will be terrible!
Su Xian's heart was awe-inspiring, his whole body felt cold, and his scalp was numb.
"Well, it seems that it's still the fragrance of the young lady!" The queen continued to smell it, her brows gradually furrowed, and her face became more and more solemn.
If he was going to suffer... Su Xian almost broke out in a cold sweat, his thoughts were racing, he must find a way to stop the Queen's sniffing!
"Eh, no, no."
The Queen's expression changed again, her brows relaxed a little, and she suddenly said: "It must be the fragrance of your two ladies. No wonder it is so complicated when mixed together."
Su Xian felt relieved, but on the surface he smiled and praised: "Your Majesty's nose is so... clever!"
We couldn't stay in this place any longer. Su Xian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, noon is almost here. The medicine we have been waiting for all morning will be out soon. Let's hurry over and take a look."
"Yes, beauty is important. Let's go there quickly." The Queen nodded.
The two of them left the room and returned to the courtyard where the medicine was boiled. They saw that the servants in the mansion were preparing to open the furnace and get the medicine under the command of the girls. This was the last step!
There were no surprises next, and the beauty regimen was successfully practiced.
The girls were so happy that they couldn't wait to swallow them on the spot...
Since it was already lunch time, Su Xian ordered someone to prepare a sumptuous lunch and invited the Queen and Lan Ling to join the banquet. They were filled with joy and agreed immediately.
After the luncheon was over, the leftovers were taken away, and the maids brought tea. Everyone gathered around to drink tea and talk, which was very happy.
After finishing two cups of tea, Su Xian suddenly turned to look at the Queen and advised:
"Your Majesty has been out of the palace for most of the day, and it's time to go back. If military and political affairs are delayed because of me, I can't afford the blame."
"broken!"
When the Queen and Lan Ling heard this, they suddenly thought of something and stood up, their expressions became ugly.
Early this morning, the ministers gathered at the Wanxiang Shrine, waiting to discuss the issue of spring plowing.
As a result, the queen ran to Su Xian and spent most of the day. Once the ministers in the Vientiane Palace learned about this, what would they think?
Can practicing "women's beauty formula" solve the problem of spring plowing?
