There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 869 Women go crazy
Somewhere in the Hou Mansion, there are shades of green willows.

There is a pavilion under the willow tree. Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang are standing in the pavilion, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance. Where they look is the courtyard where Li Qingniu lives.

The two women were waiting here with great expectation, not for Li Qingniu, but for Su Xian.

To be precise, it’s good news for Su Xian!

"My husband is out."

Tang Shuwan had sharp eyes, and even though she was far away, she spotted Su Xian, striding towards them.

The two girls were overjoyed, their faces flushed, they held up their skirts and ran out of the pavilion with small steps, heading straight for Su Xian.

Ming Lan, the little maid, and Zhang Cuihua, who was protecting Liu Huixiang, hurriedly followed behind and shouted in unison: "Miss, watch your step, slow down..."

"Ladies, why are you here?"

Su Xian saw the two women from a distance and was startled for a moment. He smiled bitterly and hurried up to meet them, jokingly saying:

"Don't tell me, you two are here specifically to know the news about the woman's beauty regimen as soon as possible?"

"Husband..."

The two women were naturally very embarrassed when the central matter was mentioned, and their faces suddenly felt hot. But now that the matter had come to this, they had nothing to be embarrassed about, so they asked with expectant looks on their faces:
"Husband, have we succeeded? Has master promised to give us the beauty formula?"

Su Xian's expression darkened instantly, and he shook his head.

When the two women saw this, the smiles on their lips and the anticipation in their eyes shattered like glass.

They have been looking forward to this morning from last night, but the final result... Both women feel empty, and even this wonderful world has no color.

Su Xian immediately explained with a smile:
"Although Master won't give it, your husband and I know that there is still a jar of nine branches of nectar in this world, so in exchange for it, I will give him nine branches of nectar, and he will give me a woman's beauty prescription."

"It seems that there is still a chance!"

The two women felt relieved at the same time, feeling like "lost and found again".

However, Tang Shuwan thought about it and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked: "But husband, the nine branches of nectar have been lost for many years. It is not appropriate to keep one altar. Is there really a second altar?"

Liu Huixiang also looked worried: "Yes, if we fail to find the second altar of Nine-branched Nectar, then..."

Don't worry, my husband still has more than three hundred altars hidden away... Su Xian coughed, calmed down and said comfortingly:

"You can rest assured. If you go to marry your husband, you will come back. You will be able to get the woman's beauty prescription in less than half an hour!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xian turned around and left, heading straight out of the house.

The two women personally escorted him out of the house and warned him before leaving: "Husband, please pay attention to your safety. Although I am longing for the beauty remedy, my husband must not take risks. Your own safety should be the top priority in everything."

"Do not worry!"

Su Xian waved his hand and got into the carriage.

There was a loud sound of a whip being slapped on the horse's butt in the air, and the carriage drove away quickly.

Naturally, there was no Nine Branches of Manna in the hands of the Chief of the Interior Guard. It was all Su Xian's lie to deceive Li Qingniu.

After the carriage he was riding in drove away, he found a secluded place to park, got off the car and sneaked into the Hou Mansion with Yang Zhilan, secretly went to the wine cellar, took out a jar of nine-branch nectar, and then left the house and returned to the carriage.

After staying in the car for about two-quarters of an hour, Yang Zhilan drove back to the Hou Mansion.

To Su Xian's surprise, Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang had been waiting in the concierge near the mansion. When they learned that Su Xian had returned to the mansion, the two women hurriedly ran out with their skirts in hand.

Su Xian shook his head with a smile, got out of the car with the wine jar the size of a human head, and showed the two women:

"Look, this is the legendary Nine Branches of Nectar, the only second altar in the world. Do you think my husband is powerful? I can find it."

Liu Huixiang came closer. When she saw this, she subconsciously reached out to pick up the wine jar. At the same time, she smiled broadly and said, "My husband is so awesome. I admire you so much!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Huixiang, who had just taken the wine jar, didn't notice the weight of the wine jar. With a slip of her hand, the wine jar fell directly from her hand and fell to the ground.

It will be smashed to pieces at the sight of it!
scare!
Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang looked horrified. Could it be that the second altar of nine-branched nectar that they had waited for was shattered in front of their eyes like this?

The two women seemed to see Yang Yanfang, the woman who had waved to them, suddenly grow a pair of legs and run away, unable to catch up...

Su Xian's eyelids also twitched, but he was not worried. At worst, he would just get another jar, but it was difficult to fool him. Could it be said that "there is actually a third jar of nine-branch nectar in the world"?
That's too fake.

Soon enough, before the rapidly falling wine jar was about to hit the ground and break into pieces, a thin little hand suddenly appeared under the wine jar, holding it firmly.

At this time, the wine jar was only a few inches from the ground.

Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang's hearts were in their throats, and they gasped for air. The expected loud noise did not appear, and the two women were stunned for a moment.

Looking along the small hand holding the wine jar, it turned out to be Yang Zhilan. In order to hold the wine jar, she lay on her side on the ground...

Su Xian carefully took away the wine jar, held it with both hands, and said: "What a danger!"

Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang helped Yang Zhilan up, one on the left and the other on the right. Although the two women were frightened, they thanked her repeatedly. Yang Zhilan's expression did not change and she just nodded.

Then everything went smoothly.

Su Xian carried the wine jar to Li Qingniu's yard. After a while, he returned with a note and several large packages of medicinal materials. This made the two girls extremely happy.

The words on the note were the woman's beauty prescription and precautions, and the large packages of medicinal materials were prepared by Li Qingniu earlier and given to Su Xian.

When the two girls were overjoyed, they immediately mobilized the servants in the mansion to brew this powerful medicine, which caused people to crowd everywhere. The excitement was no less than the Chinese New Year...

Su Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head, letting the two women do what they wanted.

He left with Yang Zhilan, preparing to tell the queen the good news.

Last night, under the plum blossom tree in the royal garden of the harem, Su Xian had promised the queen that if she got a woman's beauty prescription, she would be notified as soon as possible.

Princess Lanling also needs to be notified, otherwise Lanling might be overly concerned...

However, Su Xian took only two steps when he suddenly realized something was wrong behind him——

Yang Zhilan did not follow.

Su Xian stopped and looked back, only to see that Yang Zhilan had turned around and was about to follow him, but her steps did not move, and her head was fixed on looking at the busy figures of Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang behind, motionless.

Su Xian was puzzled, thinking that Yang Zhilan was distracted?
In his impression, Yang Zhilan was synonymous with reliability and dependability, so this situation was impossible.

He walked over and took a closer look, and found that Yang Zhilan's eyes at this moment actually contained a trace of... desire and expectation, and what was that, envy?

Su Xian was shocked on the spot.

Could it be that Yang Zhilan was also interested in that woman's beauty regimen?
By the way, she is still a woman no matter what... The lethality of this woman's beauty prescription is indeed too great, and even internal killers like Yang Zhilan are not immune to it.

interesting!

Su Xian grinned.

At this time, Yang Zhilan finally came to her senses, turned around and saw Su Xian's meaningful smile. She was silent with her head lowered on one side of her body.

"We'd better stay and you go help them." Su Xian smiled.

"But... isn't the young master going out?" Yang Zhilan felt very embarrassed. Su Xian had discovered her uncontrollable mood just now. She was in a complicated mood at the moment, like an ignorant little girl.

"It doesn't matter, it's not an important matter, Guan Ping!" Su Xian shouted, raising his voice.

"My subordinates are here." Guan Ping was maintaining order at the scene and ran over immediately after hearing this.

"I have something to tell you..." Su Xian leaned into Guan Ping's ear. After explaining, Guan Ping cupped his hands and turned around to leave the house.

Su Xian clapped his hands, looked at Yang Zhilan and said with a smile: "Okay, look at how busy they are, just go and help them."

"I..." Yang Zhilan lowered her head.

"Go ahead, this is a task I give you."

"Yes!"

Yang Zhilan straightened her body, turned and walked towards the busy crowd.

Although her expression and steps were the same as before, she knew that her heart was already excited.

……

Imperial City.

Princess Lanling's Mansion.

By the way, after Princess Lanling got up this morning, she learned about Su Xian's return to Beijing.

"Finally home!"

Her eyebrows trembled, and a long-lost smile couldn't help but appear on Qingcheng's face.

At this time, Qiu Dianjun was waiting for her to change clothes. Seeing that Qiu Dianjun had prepared a jade bra, she waved her hand and was about to tell Qiu Dianjun to get a tube top.

But at this moment, Qiu Dianjun said:
"After entering the city last night, the Taiwei returned to the Marquis Mansion first. Later, His Majesty found out about this for some reason and sent someone to pick him up overnight. After entering the palace, the Taiwei did not leave the palace until midnight."

"Ok?"

Lan Ling's expression changed slightly, her eyebrows narrowed, and she immediately gave up the thought of changing her bra. Her voice also changed: "He entered the palace last night?"

"Exactly." Qiu Dianjun replied.

"Then... you send someone to wait outside the mansion. When the Taiwei arrives, he will immediately notify me." Lan Ling ordered.

"Yes."

After Qiu Dianjun bowed and exited, Lanling hesitated for a long time, and finally took out the newly made tube top, put it on himself, and then put on the middle coat.

Then she called another maid to dress her up.

When Qiudian's army returned, Lan Ling was already dressing up and asked, "Has the Taiwei come here?"

"Reporting to the princess, the Taiwei...has not come yet." Qiu Dianjun replied.

"I know, let's prepare breakfast." Lan Ling lazily waited for Qiu Dianjun to walk out of the house, she called him back and added:
"Prepare an extra pair of chopsticks."

"Yes!"

Qiu Dianjun retreated silently, muttering secretly in his heart: "The extra pair of chopsticks should be prepared for the Taiwei, right? What if the Taiwei doesn't come?"

After Lanling had packed up, he held the bronze mirror and looked at it for a long time. After he was satisfied, he moved to the flower hall. A sumptuous breakfast had been prepared, and indeed there were two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table.

"Isn't the Lieutenant here yet?"

Lan Ling took a seat, took a sip of tea and asked.

"Reporting to the princess, we haven't arrived yet." Qiu Dianjun, who was standing by, replied.

"Then I will wait!"

"..."

In this way, Lan Linggan waited for half an hour!
The breakfast on the table was all cold, but Su Xian never came.

Qiu Dianjun had repeatedly advised Lanling not to wait for Su Xian, but to eat it while it was hot, otherwise it would get cold, but Lanling refused to listen and his face became increasingly uglier.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, Lan Ling slapped his hand on the table, frowning angrily: "Does he still have eyes for me? I've been waiting for half an hour, but he didn't come!"

"Princess, please calm down..."

"I can't calm down my anger. He returned to the city last night and entered the palace before dawn... But after so much time this morning, he didn't come to see me!"

The more Lan Ling talked, the angrier he became. He stood up, looked at Qiu Dianjun and said in a deep voice:

"Forget it if he doesn't come to see me. From now on, I won't see him again!"

"Princess……"

"No need to say anything else, just change your clothes and enter the palace to see His Majesty."

"Yes."

"..."

After Lanling changed her clothes, she entered the palace and met the queen in the Huiyou Hall of the harem.

The Queen had just woken up and was having breakfast. When she learned that Lan Ling had not eaten, she invited her to join her at the table, and Lan Ling happily accepted.

Lan Ling is very good at controlling her emotions. Even though she was furious in the princess palace just now and looked like she was about to die, once she entered the palace and met the queen, she seemed to be a different person and always greeted her with a smile. .

The two chatted about homework for a while, and the queen's expression suddenly became mysterious, and she took Lan Ling's hand and said:

"Young lady, I got a good thing yesterday. It's called 'Women's Beauty Prescription'. It's from the hands of a famous doctor. If we women take it for a long time, it can beautify our skin and keep us youthful forever!"

"Can you really stay young forever?" Lan Ling suddenly became interested and his eyes shone.

"As expected, the woman's beauty prescription will only be delivered today. You can stay in the palace and we will try it as soon as the prescription is delivered."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Lan Ling smiled and stood up to bow.

"Good good."

At this time, Nangong Wan'er entered, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, the ministers have been waiting at the Wanxiang Palace for a long time."

After hearing this, the smiles on the faces of the Queen and Lan Ling disappeared instantly, and their expressions changed slightly. Therefore, the ministers gathered this time mainly to discuss the issue of spring plowing.

Lan Ling went to the palace to meet the Queen because of this matter.

Su Xian didn't go to the Vientiane Shrine, because he had asked the Queen for half a month's leave last night, and the Queen had already agreed to play.

"I know, I'll be there right away." The Queen ordered.

"According to the order."

The Queen and Lan Ling no longer thought about eating, got up at the same time, and drove to the Wanxiang Shrine.

The Huiyou Palace, where the Queen lives, is located in the harem, and the Wanxiang Shrine, where ministers discuss matters, is located in the harem. There are two gates between the harem and the harem - Daye Gate and Zhulong Gate.

When the empress and Lanling's steppers had just passed through the Zhulong Gate and came within the range of Da Nei, a female official rushed over, approached the empress' ear, and said:
"Your Majesty, the Taiwei sent someone to bring news that the woman has acquired a beauty remedy, and the Taiwei is trying to brew the medicine at the Marquis' Mansion."

"stop!"

The queen looked overjoyed, stopped and chased her away, and immediately ordered: "Get ready to leave the palace and drive to Fan Yanghou's mansion."

"Showing off to Fan Yanghou's Mansion?" Everyone was stunned. The ministers were still waiting for her in the Wanxiang Palace, but she wanted to leave the palace at this time?

"Your Majesty, isn't this appropriate?" Lan Ling looked strange.

"Young lady, you go too." The queen looked at her and smiled.

"My sons and ministers are also going?" Lan Ling was very puzzled.

On the side, Qiu Dianjun couldn't help shaking his head, remembering what Lan Ling had said just now in the princess mansion, and said in his heart: "I'm afraid the princess won't go to the Hou's mansion, and won't see the Taiwei either."

The Queen nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the Taiwei has obtained the beauty regimen for women and is trying to practice it in the Marquis' Mansion. Let's go over and have a look."

When Lan Ling heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, like two one-hundred-watt light bulbs, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "I see, without further ado, let's leave the palace immediately!"

On the side, Qiu Dianjun slowly opened his mouth wide enough to stuff an egg into it.

Didn't the princess say she would never see Su Xian again, but why now...
