Chapter 259: Secret Base
"No, the princess was also beautiful in the past, but it wasn't as bright and moving as it is now." The maid smiled and praised.
Chu Wanxiang smiled faintly. Although she was beautiful in the past, she didn't belong to herself after all. Now the body is hers, but the soul is someone else's.
After Chu Wanxiang combed her makeup, Chu Mohan walked in. He was wearing a blue embroidered lotus-patterned brocade robe today, with a white jade waist tied around his waist, heroic and handsome, and a warm smile flowed in his eyes when he saw her.
"How? Isn't it pretty?" Chu Wanxiang turned around and showed it to him.
Chu Mohan nodded: "It's very good-looking."
Chu Wanxiang smiled and took his arm: "Let's go and say hello to the concubine."
The two went to greet the concubine together, and the concubine was still enthusiastic about Chu Wanxiang, but ignored Chu Mohan. Chu Mohan's expression remained unchanged, as if he was used to these treatments. Chu Wanxiang secretly thought, he is broad-minded, maybe he is pretending, otherwise how can a person hate even his own mother?
After breakfast, the concubine took a few grandmothers and maids to the imperial garden for a walk to eat, and Chu Wanxiang accompanied her. She lowered her head, and suddenly heard someone shout, "Brother Huang."
Chu Wanxiang followed the prestige and saw Chu Wanqing coming towards her, she was wearing a peach-colored palace dress, her makeup was delicate and charming, and her figure was slender and slender. Chu Wanqing was born to a concubine, with a lively and lovely personality, and was deeply favored by the concubine, so she developed a brutal temperament. This time she was demoted to a commoner, and I am afraid that I hate her to death.
Chu Wanqing walked closer, and Ying Yingfu saluted: "I've seen the imperial sister-in-law, the imperial sister-in-law is a thousand years old."
Chu Mohan bowed slightly, and did not tell her to get up.
Chu Wanxiang held Chu Wanqing: "Sister doesn't have to be polite."
"Has the imperial sister-in-law been feeling sick lately?" Chu Wanqing asked with concern, "I see that the imperial sister-in-law is pale and sick, is she sick?"
"Nope." Chu Wanxiang shook her head, "The wind blew last night, and my body was a little unwell."
"The imperial sister-in-law should take good care of her body. The royal brother is very worried." Chu Wanqing said with a smile, "The imperial sister-in-law and the imperial brother have been married for many years, but they have never had children, and the imperial brother can't sleep well every night, and he is always worried about the imperial sister-in-law's body. Imperial sister-in-law, you can't let down the imperial brother."
"My sister taught me a lesson." Chu Wanxiang smiled slightly. She and Chu Mohan have no heirs, Chu Mohan must be uncomfortable in his heart, so he is so indifferent and estranged from Chu Wanqing.
"I just came to the capital, and I'm not familiar with the environment, so don't bother me." Chu Wanqing said, "When I slowly integrate into this place, I won't feel lonely."
"How?" Chu Mohan smiled faintly, "If you like this place, stay."
"I want to stay longer." Chu Wanqing said with a smile, "I want to see where you usually work."
Chu Mohan nodded: "You can go if you want."
Chu Wanqing smiled and said, "Brother Huang doesn't mind taking me to visit your secret base, right?"
Chu Mohan frowned slightly: "Where do you want to play?"
Chu Wanqing blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "Just go to the imperial brother's study."
Chu Wanxiang said softly, "I'd better go back to the room to rest first, you can do it yourself."
Chu Wanqing said reluctantly, "Okay then."
Chu Mohan took Chu Wanxiang's hand and led her to the inner room.
When they passed a side hall, Chu Wanxiang smelled the faint smell of spices wafting in the air, and couldn't help but wrinkle his nose. She stopped, looked around, and saw a pot of orchids blooming luxuriantly by the windowsill.
"What kind of flower is this? It's so beautiful." Chu Wanxiang was surprised.
"This is an orchid, called Begonia." Chu Mohan's fingertips brushed the petals, "When the begonia flowers bloom, the flowers are full and fresh, and they bloom brilliantly."
"I see." Chu Wanxiang nodded, "No wonder I look at it a little familiar, I've seen it before, but I'm just not sure."
"Begonia flowers have medicinal value, if you have typhoid fever and cough, you can use begonia leaves to cook soup to clear the lungs and promote dampness, expel phlegm and relieve pain, and the effect is very obvious."
Chu Wanxiang showed an interested expression: "Can the juice of the begonia flower heal the scar when it is applied to the wound?"
Chu Mohan smiled: "No. But if you have smooth skin, you might as well try it."
Chu Wanxiang pursed her lips and smiled.
When they walked into the house, Chu Mohan took scissors, cut off the begonia flowers, took a leaf and dipped it in the juice, and smeared it on Chu Wanxiang's forehead. The coolness and moisturization of the begonia leaves made Chu Wanxiang's spirit suddenly lift, she touched her forehead, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the scars had disappeared!
"It's amazing, it doesn't hurt anymore." She excitedly grabbed Chu Mohan's sleeve, "If you help me apply it again, it will definitely be fine soon."
"You still have wounds on you, I don't dare to smear it on you."
"Can you apply it for me?" Chu Wanxiang said coquettishly.
Chu Mohan couldn't resist her, so he had to take a cotton cloth dipped in begonia juice, wipe the blood on Chu Wanxiang's forehead and cheeks, and wipe the mud on the top of her head and collar clean.
Chu Wanxiang stared at him carefully for a long time, and suddenly said, "Why do I think you have lost a little weight."
"Is there one?" Chu Mohan touched his face, "Maybe I've been too busy lately."
"I saw that you were thin, and you were thin." Chu Wanxiang muttered.
Chu Mohan rubbed her head, his eyes softened: "Okay, I promise you, I will pay attention to diet and rest in the future, and strive to recover my health as soon as possible."
"Brother Huang, you are so good." Chu Wanqing said enviously.
"Well, I also hope that you will find your happiness soon."
"Thank you, Brother Emperor." Chu Wanqing smiled sweetly, and then showed a bitter smile again, "But I don't know what kind of boy can get into my eyes, I just want to stay in the capital now."
"Princess, the prince has already slept!" The gatekeeper said.
"You tell him I'm in a hurry with him." Chu Wanxiang's anxious voice came.
"Princess......
"Hurry up if you want to report it!"
"Yes, Princess." The doorkeeper reluctantly agreed, and then knocked on the door.
"Who?" An indifferent voice came from inside.
"Lord Qiqi, the princess has something urgent to find you, let the slave inform the prince!"
There was silence inside, and then Chu Mohan's flat but irresistible voice came: "Wait!"
"Yes, Lord Wang!"
The doorkeeper heard the slight footsteps coming from inside the house, and stopped. He breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed in his heart that the prince was still majestic. After a while, Chu Mohan came out of the room dressed neatly, and was stunned when he saw Chu Wanxiang standing in the courtyard waiting for him.
"Why are you here?" Chu Mohan frowned, his face was not very good.
As soon as Chu Wanxiang saw Chu Mohan, she jumped up and grabbed Chu Mohan's arm, "Lord, please save my mother!" She's critically ill! I really can't help you!"
"Let go of this king!" Chu Mohan shook off Chu Wanxiang's hand, and his tone was not good, "Your mother's illness naturally has a royal doctor to diagnose and treat her, what can this king help?"
"The Imperial Doctor can't!" Chu Wanxiang said eagerly, "Mother kisses her...... She is in a terrible deficit and needs to make up for it to recover! Lord Wang......" Chu Wanxiang looked at Chu Mohan with pleading eyes, "Please!"
