Chapter 94 Make the Best of a Mistake! Wait for the Opportunity!

As soon as he woke up, Li He came and said that yesterday imperial concubine Xiao called him. Chushi Weiming thought about what happened yesterday and the request of Grand Mentor Liu, and he couldn't help feeling a headache. But he still summoned up his spirit, asked Li He to bring him the clothes, wrapped things up, and hurried to the palace of his mother. He ran across Qingzhi who was the personal maid of his mother. Seeing that it was Chushi Weiming, Qingzhi was so scared that she knelt quickly, "The third prince, please forgive my sins, I..." "Okay, it's fine. Get up. Has my mother got up?" Chushi Weiming had already been upset, so he asked more impatiently. Then, Qingzhi stood up tremblingly, and whispered, "The third prince, the imperial concubine is washing up. She will finish soon." "Well, I see." Then he walked to the chair aside and sat down. After half of the joss stick was burnt, imperial concubine Xiao came out from the inside. Chushi Weiming saw that, and he got up quickly, "Mother." Imperial concubine Xiao sat in the main position and motioned to the maids to leave. "Do you still have me in your heart? Now you even have found your rani back." Imperial concubine Xiao snorted coldly and said indifferently. Seeing this, Chushi Weiming knelt immediately, "Mother, what happened yesterday was not in my plan. It was because of Shuo Ling's messing up! If it hadn’t been him, I would have already..." "What would you have already done? You would have married Infanta Qingcheng as your wife?" Imperial concubine Xiao interrupted Chushi Weiming, and said out what Chushi Weiming was going to say. Hearing that imperial concubine Xiao had guessed what he thought, Chushi Weiming said at once, "Mother, forgive me! I did not mean to lie to you."` "Didn't you mean it? You have almost ruined everything!" Imperial concubine Xiao scowled her displeasure at this moment! Chushi Weiming also knew that he had been wrong in this case. He lowered his head and said, "I know that I had made mistakes. Please punish me!" "Punish you? Can punishment make it never happened again? I have told you to sit tight first and wait for the opportunity! You just messed it up!" Imperial concubine Xiao raised her voice. Hearing his mother being angry, Chushi Weiming didn't know what to do. He had to say, "Mother, don't be angry for the sake of your health." A moment later, imperial concubine Xiao calmed down and said, "Behind Princess Nanyang was the force that Beiling gave her in secret. In the case of that year, no dispatch card was found on Princess Nanyang. It has been many years now. It is still unknown if those people will come back to find her daughter. Even if they come back and the Infanta Qingcheng can't show the dispatch card, everything will be meaningless. You are too impatient! " Imperial concubine Xiao sighed and continued, "At present, it is an eventful year. Your father is prone to suspicion, and now you caused the matter of Grand Mentor Liu. Grand Mentor Liu is an important official in the government, so it would be inevitable that your father distrusts you! " "Then... what should you do now?" Chushi Weiming asked, following her words. Imperial concubine Xiao thought for a moment and said, "What should I do? I can only calm down the Grand Mentor Liu first and delay it. I will wait for the moment when everything is peaceful to plan the next step. I suppose that Grand Mentor Liu does not want to be investigated by the emperor, either! " "Mother's words make sense!" Chushi Weiming sighed with relief in his mind after hearing her words. Imperial concubine Xiao said again at this moment, "Don't celebrate too soon. We haven't seen Grand Mentor Liu himself. The result is still unknown. You go back and prepare some gifts. I will go to Grand Mentor Liu's mansion with you tomorrow." "Yes, mother, then I will leave first." Chushi Weiming got up and said. Imperial concubine Xiao waved her hand and motioned to him to get out. After Chushi Weiming left, imperial concubine Xiao thought about the stakes in this event. Although her son did something harmful to society's morals, in general, if he married the daughter of Grand Mentor Liu, Grand Mentor Liu would work for him loyally. She had hinted Grand Mentor Liu several times before. But she was always stalled off by him! And the situation now was not bad. In the Changchun Palace at this time, Chushi Yingying also went there early in the early morning. "Mother, mother." Empress Lanruo heard Chushi Yingying yelling outside all the way and couldn't help but frown. Her baby girl was always loud-mouthed and could not be changed. "Mother, you are here! Look! I brought you something!" Chushi Yingying said and ran to the queen. She took out what Yang Zijin gave her. She looked at the rouge box held by Chushi Yingying. She was originally wondering what kind of surprise her baby girl brought to her. She said calmly, "Isn't it just the rouge?" "This is not the rouge. Mother, please guess again!" Chushi Yingying spoke in riddles. Seeing Chushi Yingying be like this, Lanruo said with a smile, "Isn't it rouge? What is that?" "Oh, mother! You just guess again!" Chushi Yingying fawned. Lanruo couldn't help but gently push Chushi Yingying's forehead. "Among the many princesses, you are the naughtiest one." Then Chushi Yingying fixed her attention to then maids around them, and said, "You all get out!" After the maids left, Lanruo couldn't help but wonder what was in the rouge box in front of her. She asked, "What on earth is it? Why do you make it so mysterious!" Chushi Yingying opened the rouge box and handed it to Lanruo. Lanruo took it and smelt. A mild fragrance of herb was blowing. "The smell is pleasant. Now, it's just you and me. Could you tell me what it is? " " Mother, this is called a mask!" Chushi Yingying said. Lanruo was very puzzled and asked, "Mask? What's that?" "Mother, it has a great effect. It can not only moisturize your face, but also clear the spots on your face!" Chushi Yingying said with excitement. Hearing Chushi Yingying saying this, Lanruo quickly touched her cheek and asked immediately, "Could this mask clear spots?" What should be known was that she had been worried about this issue recently. Now Yingying brought this thing which was called a mask. If it could clear the spots, she would not have to apply that thick foundation every day. It was common knowledge that a beautiful face in the harem was more important than anything. Although she was a queen, she couldn't show the ugly look in front of the concubines as the leader of the harem because that might let them gossip about her. "Sure, mother." Chushi Yingying confirmed. Lanruo couldn't help but feel happy in her mind after hearing it. However, after a moment, she calmed down and asked, "Where did you get this mask?" "Mother, it is given by sister Qingcheng." Chushi Yingying said with a smile. Lanruo frowned slightly, and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Qingcheng? You mean the infanta who has just returned?" Chushi Yingying nodded again and again, "Yes, mother. It is sister Qingcheng." She had seen the infanta once at the welcoming banquet, and she didn't know much about her. At first, she had doubts. Was this infanta the daughter of Princess Nanyang? Why had she lived in the Moon City for so long while now she wanted to come back? The reason that they didn't want her to be grieved was way more farfetched. Later, she deliberately asked the emperor about this issue, but she was stalled off by him as soon as she had mentioned it! Lanruo frowned slightly after hearing it. Hearing Chushi Yingying calling her sister intimately all the time, she wondered when Yingying got so close to this infanta? Or she got close to Yingying for other purposes? But she suddenly remembered that it was the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Mansion of Grand Preceptor yesterday. Could it be on the... Although Yingying was usually naughty, her character was quite innocent. So, she asked, "Where had you been yesterday? Didn't your father let you stay in the palace and forbid you to go anywhere?" "Oh, mother! Now we are discussing the mask issue. Don't head me off the topic!" Chushi Yingying was panicking. It didn't occur to her that her mother would investigate her. Lanruo scowled, "Tell me. Did you leave the palace without permission?" "Mother, I was so bored in the palace that I begged brother prince to take me out!" Chushi Yingying had to admit it when she saw her mother scowl! At this time, Lanruo said again, "Yingying, people are complicated now. You can't make friends with everyone!" "Mother, sister Qingcheng really likes me. I also like to play with sister Qingcheng. Mother, you just use it. in addition, sister Qingcheng said that if the effect is good, you just let someone get more in her shop." Chushi Yingying of course knew what Lanruo was worried about, so she said immediately. Lanruo frowned after hearing her words, "You mean that she is still doing business?" "Yes! Sister Qingcheng said that she had bought the shop downtown some time ago and it is called 'Woman Flower', which sells women's things!" Chushi Yingying explained to Lanruo. Lanruo got more puzzled after hearing these. She thought, "Her identity is the infanta which is noble. However, she goes to do business. The Duke of Mu actually agreed that his daughter shows her face in public! Then, Lanruo said again, "I appreciate Yingying's kindness. You can go back first." "Mother, then you need to remember to use this mask. In addition, you should use a small amount of cold boiled water to turn it into a paste, smear it on the face and use it both in the morning and in the evening." Chushi Yingying did not forget to tell Lanruo the method. Lanruo nodded with a smile, then Chushi Yingying left trustingly. After Chushi Yingying left, Lanruo stared at the thing that was called a mask. She frowned slightly and thought, "Is this stuff as magical as Yingying said? It can clear the spots on our faces?" Lanruo hesitated for a while, but she still called the maid Xiaotong beside her. "Your majesty, what may I do for you?" Xiaotong came in and asked. Lanruo said, " Xiaotong, go out of the palace to find out if there is a shop called 'Woman Flower' in Jing City. Check it out and they have a mask called 'Sleeping Beauty' there." "Yes, Queen. I will go now." Xiaotong said and left the room. In Lanruo's mind, she was quite conflicted. After thinking it over, she decided to let someone investigate first, and then she would use it. So, she let the maid put away the mask first, and she decided to use it after Xiaotong got more information. … At this moment, Yang Zijin had already gone to the Blossoming Peach. The girls there had got up early in the morning to start their work. There were some people who looked unfamiliar grinding the herbs while the girls were helping to sieve the powder. Yang Zijin couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
