Chu Lian hastily asked Si Wei to take out the things she had brought, and took a small, greenish-blue mud-like object from her hand. She said: "Sister, this was made by that senior for me, using several kinds of herbs mixed with water and mashed up, then applied to the face. Using it frequently can make the skin tender and smooth, like newborn skin."
Chu Wanru was initially disappointed with what Chu Xianyu took out, but after hearing Chu Lianru say this, her eyes sparkled again and she hurriedly urged Chu Lianru to try it on for her.
Chu Lian smiled as if she had thought of something, and first ordered someone to fetch water to wash her face clean, then applied the green mud evenly to her face.
Just applied to her face, Chu Wanru hurriedly asked: "Sister, can I wash it off now?"
Chu Lian shook her head and said softly, "Sister, don't worry, this needs to be applied for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."
Before long, Chu Wanru hastily washed her face clean and ordered someone to bring over a copper mirror. Compared to before, her skin had indeed become several degrees more tender and moist.
Chu Lianruo calculated the time, and now it's been a while since the early morning court. Xurong should have arrived at the Imperial Garden by now. She glanced sideways, looking at Chu Wanruo who was stroking her own face with a pleased expression: "Sister doesn't know yet, this is not considered the best, if we can go out for a walk and sweat a bit, it would be even better."
Chu Wan seemed to have agreed with a happy heart, but she was somewhat embarrassed. What could be done in this deep palace?
"Today's wind is high and refreshing, it's very suitable for flying kites."
Chu Wanruo's eyes lit up as soon as she heard this, "This place next to the Yangyang Palace is actually a great spot for flying kites."
Chu Lian seemed to know naturally where Chu Wanruo was talking about.
Next to the Yang Palace, there is a desolate garden called Cui Zhu Garden. It was originally built for the concubines in the palace to watch plays, and inside Cui Zhu Garden, there is also a small stage. However, the location of Cui Zhu Garden is slightly biased, and the concubines are not willing to run here, so it has been idle for a long time.
While Chulianruo wanted to go to the place, it was also this Cui Bamboo Garden. Others may not be very clear about the twists and turns in the palace, but Chulianruo remembered that the Cui Bamboo Garden was only separated from the Imperial Flower Garden by a wall, except that the path leading to the Cui Bamboo Garden was too tortuous, which made people overlook this point.
Chu Wanruo's maids were quite handy and soon found a few paper kites. The person who made the paper kite was also very skilled, one butterfly, one swallow, all made to look lifelike.
Two people took kites and went to the bamboo garden with their servants.
In the imperial garden, Xurong watched as the gardener transplanted a rare green chrysanthemum into the garden, and a smile appeared on her face. But only Xurong knew that this smile was not because of the rare chrysanthemum, but because the gardener who tended to the flowers had clear and elegant features, looking just like the type that the undercover agents described as Xuyang's favorite.
Xu Rong's face broke into a smile: "Imperial Brother, this gardener is actually not bad. Why don't you just let him stay in the Imperial Garden to cultivate some flowers and grasses?"
Xu Yang's face revealed a difficult expression: "If the Emperor wants the flower craftsman, I naturally should offer him with both hands. However, this flower craftsman...I truly like him. Why don't I find another one for the Emperor instead?"
Upon hearing this, Xiurong burst out laughing: "If that's the case, then let's have the florist decide. What do you think, younger brother?"
Xu Yang reluctantly nodded despite his unwillingness.
Xu Rong looked at the florist, the king's demeanor was fully revealed: "You tell me, do you want to follow me or continue to follow Wang?"
