After lunch, Ye Fuxun originally wanted to take a nap, but as soon as he lay down, a palace maid came to report that it was eight and the princess was here.
Ye Fuxun thought to himself that she must be here to settle a score with him, so he immediately cheered up and went out to meet her.
As soon as she left the dormitory, the princess immediately came over with a smile, held Ye Fuxun's hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "Sixth sister, the peonies raised by my mother are in full bloom, and they are extremely beautiful. I have sent you a few.
.”
The Queen loves flowers, especially peonies. This is something everyone in the capital knows. Judging from her recent behavior, it is reasonable to give a few to Ye Fuxun. However, the Queen knows that she and Princess Ba are not compatible. How could this be possible?
And send her to deliver it?
This is really weird!
Ye Fuxun looked at Princess Eight with doubtful eyes, turned around and took her hand away, smiled, and asked straight to the point: "Eight Sister, what do you want? What's the purpose of taking a few peonies?
?”
"Sixth sister, I don't have any intention. I am just here to send flowers on the order of my mother."
8. The princess smiled innocently and had a childish baby face. For those who didn’t know, I thought she was really just a harmless little girl.
Ye Fuxun naturally would not be fooled. She kept a polite smile and said directly: "Just tell me what you want, otherwise I won't dare to accept this peony flower."
"You must accept it. Otherwise, how will I explain to my mother when I go back? I promised that I will send these peonies to you, Sixth Sister." Eighth, the princess looked very embarrassed.
"I know that I had a lot of unpleasantness with you before, and that was all my sister's fault. My sister shouldn't think about things that don't belong to her, let alone ruin the sisterhood between you and me."
Ye Fuxun listened and thought he was hallucinating.
8. The princess continued: "My mother has taught me a lesson a few days ago, and I have realized my mistake. You should just ignore the faults of the villain. Please forgive me. From now on, the two of us will live in peace, okay?"
Ye Fuxun firmly refused to believe it. 8. Who is the princess? She has never admitted her mistakes since she was a child. Even if she is wrong, no one dares to say anything. Will she admit her mistakes to others?
However, her sudden singing must have an ulterior motive. Ye Fuxun thought, in this case, it would be better to use the trick to see what tricks she was playing.
So Ye Fuxun immediately put on a very touched expression and said: "That sister is what I wish for. In fact, looking back now, I did a lot of things wrong. I hit you that day, and I regretted it very much afterwards.
Now, eighth sister, you are willing to turn our hostility into friendship with me regardless of the past grudges, and I am very happy."
"The previous things are over. Now I just think that Sixth Sister has a lot of them. Just don't be like me." Eighth, the princess has never been so friendly. "Then Sixth Sister should accept these peonies. Let's
Just make up?"
"No one else can get the peonies planted by the Queen herself. If I don't harvest them, wouldn't it be disrespectful to me?" Ye Fuxun said, and ordered people to move the peonies in.
"Then I won't disturb you anymore and say goodbye!"
8. The princess was very happy, but secretly said: Yu Siling, I thought you were so smart, but you turned out to be so easy to deceive! Haha, are you happy? You will not be happy in two days!
"Sister Eight, walk slowly." Ye Fuxun nodded and smiled. He didn't turn back to the dormitory until Princess Eight had gone far.
After entering, I stared at a few peonies and examined them carefully to see what was weird. However, I checked several times and even turned up the soil in the flower pots, but found nothing wrong.
Ye Fuxun began to wonder, since there was nothing wrong, could it be that the princess really just wanted to give her peonies? This is impossible!
At this time, Nanny Lin walked in, sniffed, and seemed to smell an unusual smell. "There is something wrong with the aroma of this peony flower."
Ye Fuxun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? There's nothing wrong with the smell to me!" After saying that, he leaned over the petals to smell them.
Nanny Lin's face changed drastically and she quickly stopped her: "Princess, don't smell it. This is the aroma emitted by a kind of fragrant powder called 'Zhu Yan'. This aroma is very light. If you are not familiar with it, it will be difficult to smell it."
of."
"Zhu Yan? How come I have never heard of this kind of fragrant powder?" Ye Fuxun asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What does it do?"
Granny Lin said with a serious look: "This kind of fragrant powder will not work as soon as you are exposed to it or smelled. It has to be smelled for more than a day before the symptoms will slowly appear. The effect is to ruin a person's appearance."
"Disfigured?" Ye Fuxun was shocked. Sure enough, the princess is a vicious person!
Nanny Lin reached out and gently scraped the petals of the peony with her fingernails, and immediately saw a layer of pink powder.
"Princess, look, the color of this fragrant powder is the same as the color of peonies. The amount of sprinkles is not large. It is difficult to see. In the past, some concubines in the palace used this method to harm others. The old slave has seen it so many times that he can tell it at a glance.
You can see it.”
Ye Fuxun narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "This eighth princess, if I don't provoke her, she will always come to me. It's really endless."
"That's what the palace is like, with overt and secret fighting and intrigues that never end." Aunt Lin said with a sad look on her face, probably thinking of Concubine Shu again.
Ye Fuxun thought for a moment, then suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.
Since Princess Ba wants to provoke her, she will not swallow her anger and must fight back in time, otherwise, she will think that she is easy to bully.
Ye Fuxun knew that the princess especially loved rouge and gouache. Every month, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would specially collect some high-quality rouge for her and send it to her palace.
Taking advantage of this, Ye Fuxun decided to retaliate in kind and secretly sprinkled the face-killing powder on the rouge that the Ministry of Internal Affairs was about to send to Princess Ba.
8. The princess naturally didn’t know that there was something wrong with the rouge. She couldn’t wait to try the new product on the day it was delivered. However, when she woke up on the third morning and saw her face covered in red spots in the mirror, she was so scared that she almost fainted.
"Ah! How could this happen?" The princess covered her face and yelled: "Get out, get out! Get out!"
Early in the morning, a scream rang out, causing a commotion in the palace.
When the maids saw Princess Ba's appearance, they were so scared that they ran out with their heads lowered. What frightened them even more was that Princess Ba would take it out on them if she got angry, and would blame the red spots on her face on
they.
When the queen heard the news and rushed there, the imperial doctor also arrived.
After an examination by the imperial physician, he came to the conclusion: "The Queen, Princess Ba, caused the erythema because she misused the face-killing powder."
"Face-killing powder?!"
The Queen, Eight and Princess were surprised at the same time and couldn't believe it.
