Chapter 21 Does my sister want to be fragrant for miles?
Take out the envelope and open it.
Uh! They are all traditional Chinese characters, and I don’t recognize many of them.
The scholar was half-literate, and he even guessed that this was Xiao Yunqing's confession. Shangguan Ruoxian was not Shangguan Tianxiao's son!
What a blast!
No wonder Xiao Yunqing was desperate to find this thing. It turned out that the original owner's mother, Xiao Yunluo, had caught such a big deal.
I'm afraid it was also because of this that the original owner was able to grow up, but unfortunately he died in their hands in the end.
What happened back then?
Shangguan Ruoli put the letter back into the box, moved the table and put the box back to its original place. She wanted to wait until the critical moment to announce the letter.
As soon as everything was restored to its original state, the door creaked.
Qiu Ju walked in, saw Shan Guan Ruoli sitting at the table drinking tea, and asked, "Why didn't you take a rest, Miss?"
Shangguan Ruoli saw her sad look and pale face and asked, "Why does your voice sound weird? Did Xiao Yunqing torture you?"
Qiu Ju nodded, "It's just a needle prick. I can still bear it. The reason why I'm sad is that Chuntao is really dead. As the eldest lady said, she committed suicide out of shame."
Shangguan Ruoli listened quietly, she didn't know how to comfort others, and Qiu Ju didn't need comfort at this time.
Qiu Ju continued: "Madam, she is so cruel. I don't know how many slaves have died in her hands over the years. We are not even as good as beasts in her eyes!"
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I will be loyal to the eldest lady from now on, and I will never change my mind!"
Shangguan Ruoli said calmly: "Get up, I'm only looking at your performance."
"Yes!" Qiu Ju stood up and said, "Tomorrow there will be a flower viewing banquet in the palace. The queen has invited the madam and the eldest lady. Second lady, the madam asked you to prepare."
Shangguan Ruoli frowned, telling her half a day in advance that such a big thing was going to the palace for a banquet.
Parties like this usually include poetry and talent performances, and people attending the banquet prepare for it days in advance.
The ladies even ordered new clothes and jewelry in advance, hoping to shine in front of the emperor, princes and other nobles.
No wonder Shangguan Ruoxian and Xu Jingxuan went to the embroidery workshop today. The new dresses must have been made.
So what if I have new clothes? I have to make a fool of myself when I have to.
Shangguan Ruoli had a wicked smile on her lips. She originally wanted to find Sanshengcao as soon as possible and didn't want to attend this boring banquet, but she didn't want to miss it if it was fun to watch.
Qiu Ju also said worriedly: "Every time there is a banquet like this, the young lady always performs piano skills. It seems that she can only play the piano this time."
"There's nothing wrong with playing the piano." Shangguan Ruo left the banquet not to perform.
…
Shangguan Ruoxian is trying on new clothes. She must dress beautifully and not embarrass the prince.
This dress is a colorful butterfly dress specially made for her to dance at tomorrow's banquet. It is embroidered with butterflies of various colors and rotates like butterflies dancing around the fairy.
She spun around in a circle, feeling good about herself, and asked the maid: "Does it look good?"
But all the maids in the room covered their noses and didn't look at her at all.
"What's wrong with you?" Shangguan Ruoxian stood still, frowning in confusion, and smelled a smell similar to body odor, "Where is this smell?"
The maids looked at each other, lowered their heads with strange expressions, and no one dared to speak.
Shangguan Ruoxian walked to the window and stuck his head out to smell it to make sure it wasn't the smell blowing in from outside.
When he turned around, he felt that it seemed to be emanating from his own body. He raised his arm and smelled it, almost spitting it out.
He said angrily: "What's going on? Who tampered with my clothes?!"
Several maids knelt down and kowtowed: "The slaves are using the incense that the second lady usually uses. I didn't ask this question just now!"
"Quick! Wash the clothes again and re-scent them!" Shangguan Ruoxian hurriedly took off his clothes and said to the maid: "Qiaoyun, go and keep an eye on it."
It's summer now, it's just past noon, and the gauze clothes are washed and dried quickly, and there's no time to re-scent them.
However, after taking off his clothes, there was still that disgusting smell on his body. Shangguan Ruoxian went crazy and screamed: "Quick! Prepare fragrant bathing soup for me!"
Shangguan Ruoxian soaked in the bathtub for half an hour. It still smelled good when he came out, but after a while, the disgusting smell appeared on his body.
Anxious, she called the doctor, but the doctor couldn't tell anything. He just thought she had body odor and finally left with her nose covered.
Shangguan Ruoxian did not dare to ask outside doctors to look at such an indecent disease. If word spread, she would not be able to see anyone.
So, I kept taking baths and soaking in fragrant water. I didn't sleep all night, and my skin fell off after washing.
The smelly powder made by Shangguan Ruoli based on modern pharmacology is not something that ordinary doctors can diagnose in this era.
She thought that Shangguan Ruoxian was acting like a monster again, so she mixed the anti-itch medicine powder she just bought with the trauma medicine in the sedan chair to make a homemade smelly powder. It was fine when it touched her skin, but when it came into contact with sweat, she would
Produces a smell similar to body odor.
And as sweat penetrates into the sweat pores, it stays there for a long time.
Shangguan Ruoxian was tossing like crazy, while Shangguan Ruoli was sitting cross-legged on the bed, silently reciting the mantras, closed his eyes, adjusted his breath, and circulated his Dantian.
At first, I still had no idea what to do, but gradually a small fire seemed to rise in my Dantian, and I began to walk slowly along the meridians. My limbs felt comfortable, and my body felt a little more relaxed.
Early the next morning, I was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
He slowly exhaled a breath, got off the bed, stretched, and felt refreshed.
Shangguan Ruoli took a shower, dressed up a little, had breakfast and came to the gate.
Xiao Yunqing and Shangguan Ruoxian were already waiting there, without any hint of impatience on their expressions.
They think that others don't know about their colorful nature, so they are naturally happy on the surface.
When they saw Shangguan Ruoli, they were stunned and their eyes were astonished.
I saw that she was wearing a long white dress with wide sleeves, with light blue peonies embroidered on the cuffs and hem, and auspicious clouds drawn with silver threads. A pair of proud and slender waists were wrapped in a light blue brocade tube top, which attracted people's imagination.
Her skin is crystal clear, her facial features are exquisite, and she is unparalleled in beauty. Especially her temperament, elegant posture, calmness and indifference, showing freedom and calmness.
She smiled faintly, her lips parted slightly: "How much powder have you put on, sister? Do you want to face the wind and smell the fragrance ten miles away?"
Only then did Shangguan Ruoxian come back to her senses and her face turned red with embarrassment. She was actually fascinated by this blind man!
She looked tired, her clothes were scented, and she sprinkled a lot of powder on her body to cover up the smell.
Xiao Yunqing took a look at Shangguan Ruoxian, who was dressed like a butterfly, and felt that her daughter had lost her luster, and she couldn't help but darken her face.
She whispered softly: "Xian'er, your eldest sister can't see me. I'm in the palace today. You have to take more care of me. Don't lose the face of the general's palace."
Xiao Yunqing emphasized the word "invisible" in her tone.
"My daughter knows." A sinister calculation flashed through Shangguan Ruoxian's eyes. His mother was right. No matter how beautiful he is, he is still blind. How can he go out to attend a banquet and not be full of ugliness?
