Farewell Flower Festival

It was already past the second update, and Mu Tianyuan was still kneeling miserably copying books, blaming Zhao Huan in his heart for being such an idiot, who not only got himself involved, but also made him suffer as well.

Liu Sui took a look at the door but did not go in. After a while, she brought snacks with her maid.

At first, Mu Tianyuan was very stubborn and didn't even look at it. He persisted for less than three minutes before reaching out, picking up a piece of dessert and stuffing it into his mouth.

After Liu Sui asked the maid to leave, she asked, "How did the Fourth Prince offend you before?" Mu Tianyuan snorted and said nothing. Liu Sui poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of him, asking him to drink slowly so as not to choke.

After a while, Mu Tianyuan said coldly, "It was his mother who killed my mother." Liu Sui reached out and held his hand. The expression on Mu Tianyuan's face eased a little, and suddenly when he met those gentle and quiet eyes, his heart moved and he was a little dazed.

"There are still ten repetitions left. You are not allowed to go to bed until you finish copying them."

“……” She is indeed a tigress. . .

"What are you mumbling about?"

"Nothing, go to bed first."

"I'm not sleepy, just write well."

"..."

……

The matter of Zhao Huan caused a lot of uproar. Two days later, Concubine Yin sent people to Prince Ling's mansion. Then Mu Tianling brought Eunuch Wu and Furong into the palace. This time, Chao Yan stayed in the mansion to look after the house.

It was not until the afternoon that Mu Tianling and Eunuch Wu came back, but Furong did not come back. Eunuch Wu told Chaoyan that Concubine Yin had left someone behind. Chaoyan was a little surprised. She did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to take this hot potato.

Two days later, Chaoyan got the news from Eunuch Wu that Concubine Yin adopted Furong as her adopted daughter and arranged her marriage with Zhao Huan, but the position of Crown Prince's Concubine did not fall to Furong.

The Loyal and Brave Marquis Zhao Zhong adopted his eldest illegitimate son under the name of his wife. In this way, the illegitimate eldest son became the legitimate eldest son. He then wrote to the Emperor Mu to request that his eldest son Zhao Cheng be named the Crown Prince. The imperial edict of enthronement and the imperial edict of granting marriage were delivered to the Marquis' Mansion on the same day.

Hongmei has not been in good health since she had a stomach upset, so Eunuch Wu arranged for someone to send her to the farm to recuperate.

Without Hongmei and Furong hanging around, Chaoyan developed a new hobby: making rouge.

Eunuch Wu found her several books that specifically explained how to make rouge and powder. Chaoyan studied and practiced at the same time, staying in the house all day fiddling with those bottles and jars.

Mu Tianling hadn't seen Chao Yan around for two days and felt a little uncomfortable. Then he came over by himself. As soon as he pushed the door open, he smelled a faint fragrance. His heart couldn't help but feel a little soft, as if he was scratched by a kitten.

After calming himself down, he walked in, saw Chaoyan concentrating on fiddling with the bottles and jars on the table, and without disturbing her, he found a place to sit down.

The subtle fragrance and rhythmic tinkering sounds that filled the room seemed to have a hypnotic power. He unconsciously relaxed his body and mind, propped his head with one hand, closed his eyes and took a nap.

After Chaoyan finished tinkering with it, she was about to stretch herself when she turned around and found that there was another person in the room. Mu Tianling was sitting on a chair with one hand supporting his head, with his eyes closed as if he was taking a nap. She looked back at the door and wondered when the person came in.

She tiptoed over, bent down, and observed the face closely. Suddenly she found that the guy's eyelashes were so long that she wondered how many matches could fit in them.

Thinking of this, a bold idea came to her mind. She tiptoed to get an embroidery needle, carefully pinched the tip of the needle with her thumb and index finger, slowly approached, held her breath, and was about to put it on, when the eyes suddenly opened, her hand shook, and the embroidery needle fell to the ground.

Mu Tianling glanced down and his eyes fell on the embroidery needle. Chao Yan immediately picked up the needle, pretending nothing had happened, went to pour him a cup of tea, and asked him when he came.

He took a sip of the tea and asked what kind of tea it was. Chao Yan said it was a scented tea that he had dried himself. He took another sip, then got up and left.

Chao Yan was a little confused and didn't know why he came here?

After coming out of the house, Mu Tianling went to see the flowers planted by Chao Yan, and then left.

The next day, after Mu Tianling came back from the Jiuxing Division, he found a pot of flowers on the windowsill in the room. He went over to take a look and saw that the flowers had already formed buds and would bloom in two days.

"Your Highness, do you recognize what flower this is?"

Mu Tianling looked back and saw Chao Yan walking in from the door. He looked at the small white flower bud in front of him again and said nothing.

Zhao Yan knew that he didn't recognize it, so she walked over and said, "This is jasmine, which can be made into tea to clear away heat and relieve internal heat. If your highness gets internal heat one day, just pick some flowers and make tea."

Mu Tianling snorted, turned and left.

Chaoyan adjusted the position of the flowerpot and left, but was stopped by him just as she reached the door.

Mu Tianling asked her where she was going. Chaoyan said she was going to the street to buy something. But when she was about to leave, he stopped her and said that if she wanted to buy anything, she should just tell Eunuch Wu. Chaoyan said that she wanted to show the rouge she made to professionals, maybe she could sell it for a good price.

Half an hour later, the carriage left the palace and went to the street.

Chaoyan looked at Mu Tianling, who had changed into casual clothes, and asked him what he wanted to buy. He closed his eyes and seemed not to hear her, so Chaoyan didn't waste any words.

After the carriage stopped at the door of a shop, Chao Yan got off first. Mu Tianling was still resting with his eyes closed, and seemed to have no intention of getting off. She asked politely, "Your Highness, do you want to go in and take a look?" Mu Tianling closed his eyes and replied, "The sooner you go, the sooner you will be back."

Chao Yan complained in her heart and walked into the store with two boxes of rouge she made.

The name of the store was written in three large gold-plated characters on the plaque at the door: Hua Ninglu.

There was a constant stream of customers coming in and out, and business was booming.

The rouge and powder that Eunuch Wu bought for her were bought from here through someone else. The ladies of wealthy families also like to use the rouge and powder from this shop. The texture is very delicate and refreshing, and applying it on the face is like dew on flower petals melting on the skin.

There are different styles for different seasons, or in modern terms, they are limited editions of the season. They are very popular. Almost every woman in a wealthy family has a box, and they will take them out to compare with each other at parties. It is not only a good skin care product, but also a symbol of status.

Moreover, most of the ladies and girls from wealthy families use custom-made items from the store. The more advanced the customization, the more it can highlight their status and position.

Most of the customers coming in and out of the store were maids from wealthy families, and there were also ladies who came to the store in person to choose rouge and powder. As soon as they arrived, they were led by the waiter to the private room on the second floor and received personally by the shopkeeper.

When Chaoyan came in, a shop assistant first took a look at her clothes and appearance. Seeing that she had no maid following her and her face was particularly beautiful, he immediately confirmed her identity with his pair of sharp eyes. She must be a maid of the young masters of wealthy families. Although her status was not high, you could tell from her face that she was well-off.
