When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Xu Xinyue took the powder box and pretended to be impatient to open the lid. While sighing, she gently pinched a little powder with the fingertips of her right hand and sniffed it under her nose. She frowned slightly. As expected, there was something extra mixed in it. It was the jade rue flower!

The Jade Core Flower is not found in the Northern Xuan Territory. It is named after the jade-colored core of its flower. The flower of the Jade Core Flower is very small, only the size of a baby's fingernail. It is not poisonous in itself, but it is a medicine that can cause the Frost Blazing Poison to attack. Therefore, it is very difficult to collect a sufficient amount for medicinal use.

This incense powder contains a full amount of it.

It really took some effort... But even so, this thing cannot be kept.

Xu Xianyue tried it out for a while and praised it repeatedly, "It's really useful. Where did you get this thing?"

"This, I got it from Huayanzhai in the West Market..." Xu Mingxi was excitedly sharing the cosmetics shop, without noticing that Xu Xinyue had scraped some powder and hid it under her fingernails, and then quietly smeared it on her handkerchief.

Just as Jin'er served the freshly sliced ​​anlago, Xu Xinyue's arm seemed to be accidentally touched, and she cried out in surprise, "Oh my!"

With a "bang", the powder box overturned and the powder scattered all over the ground. A lot of powder was flying in the sunlight like stars, shining with fine luster, causing several people to cough.

"Ahem! Jin'er! Why... are you so, ahem... clumsy?"

Jin Er was so scared that she immediately knelt down and apologized: "Miss, I didn't mean it! Please forgive me!"

"Forget it, Second Sister, she didn't mean it, just forgive her! It was my fault in the first place. If I hadn't insisted on watching it, it wouldn't have turned out like this...

I'm really sorry, second sister. I'll compensate her with a box in a few days. "After all, it was her own doing, and Xu Xinyue couldn't bear to see Jin'er get punished, so she made a few remarks to smooth things over.

"Forget it, forget it. Since my sister said so, you can just pack up and go down." Since other people didn't care and she was his maid, Xu Mingxi wanted to make the matter go away. He waved his hand and let her go.

Upon hearing this, Jin'er turned to Xu Xinyue with gratitude and kowtowed three times, then kowtowed three times to Xu Mingxi, then picked up the remaining pieces and went downstairs.

"But what's the point of compensation? My sister is being polite. It's just a box of perfume powder. I'll buy it next time when I have time. Don't mind it."

Xu Mingxi seized the opportunity, pulled Xu Xinyue's hand, and tried his best to curry her favor.

Xu Xinyue smiled, withdrew her hand calmly, and continued with other topics.

Since her goal was achieved, she didn't plan to stay long and said goodbye and left.

Back at Qinghan Courtyard, he gently opened the handkerchief containing the powder, gathered them together, and studied them carefully. In addition to the Jade Core Flower, there were several other medicinal herbs, which also needed to be identified one by one to see if they were extra or the powder itself. He took out his own bottles and jars of liquid medicine and fiddled with them bit by bit.

Her mother taught her how to extract these medicinal liquids. Her mother said that different medicinal liquids, when mixed with medicines, would have different "reagent reactions".

My mother always loved to play with these colorful liquid medicines.

At that time, the young girl was also leaning against her mother and watching. Two kinds of transparent liquid medicine turned red when mixed together, and some mixed together turned blue. Some of them were bubbling like boiling water... It was really interesting.

Whenever he saw the magical effects, young Xu Xinyue’s eyes would always open wide, and he would utter exclamations of “ah” and “ah” from time to time.

Thinking back to those afternoons, Xu Xinyue was like this. She learned how to make and mix various medicines from her mother.

"Mother..." Xu Xinyue murmured, lost in memories.

"When will you come back...Yue'er misses you so much."

I don't know how long I was stunned, but a crisp sound brought Xu Xinyue back to her senses:

"Miss, this is a gift from Hanxingyuan."

"What?" Given by Xu Baiyu?

I almost forgot, her rouge.

Then Xu Xinyue took out the exquisite box, opened it, picked up some with the silver hairpin, and looked at it carefully. After a cup of tea, the silver hairpin had not changed.

He asked Xiao Chan to fetch a porcelain spoon, wrapped the handle of the spoon with a handkerchief, and roasted it carefully over the candle flame, stirring it with a silver hairpin from time to time. He saw the rouge melting and bubbles bubbling up, and then the color became darker and darker. He took off the porcelain spoon and tried it with the silver hairpin again. Sure enough, the silver hairpin was covered with a layer of blue-black.

"What my mother taught me is indeed correct. Some poisons will only manifest at certain temperatures. Detect them."

"Poison!?" Xiao Chan was horrified. "The young lady poisoned me!?"

"Hush, keep your voice down. This rouge was originally meant for Xu Mingxi, but she was rejected and didn't want to waste it, so she gave it to me. How vicious and stupid."

She had always known that Xu Baiyu was not a good person, and this time she really saw it.

"Miss, do you want to tell the old lady?" Xiao Chan asked anxiously, "Will the old lady make the decision for us?"

Xu Xinyue shook her head. "Although grandma doesn't like Xu Baiyu, she doesn't like me either. She will only make a big deal out of a small matter. If Xu Baiyu continues to defend herself and says that I poisoned the rouge myself and deliberately framed her, it will be even more difficult to explain the two sides."

"So are we just going to endure this?"

Xu Xianyue's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness: "Of course I won't tolerate it. It's better for her to suffer the consequences."

"I remember that tomorrow is the day to go out and do some shopping."

The Xu Mansion had strict rules and regulations, and people had to be invited by others to go out. Normally, each courtyard would go shopping once every seven days.

"Tomorrow, you should go out early. Let your cousin Jiang Yuan who works in the West Market follow her, and then..."

There was a whisper, and Xiaochan nodded repeatedly:

"I understand, miss."

"I'm not sure if she will buy powder or cream, but I already know the formula of her poison. I will make some powder and cream tonight, and tomorrow you can tell your cousin to act according to circumstances and sneak in."

"Don't worry Miss, I know, I will tell him."

"Well, in that case, help me prepare something."

Xu Xinyue picked up a pen and wrote a list of medicines. "We have almost all of them in our small warehouse. Send them over as soon as you can."

Xiao Chan retreated in response.

Kanseiin

Xu Baiyu is trying on headgear with great interest, preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Her personal maid Qiu Lian assisted her, handing her a jade hairpin, helping her adjust her hairpin, and then helping her adjust her collar. She was very attentive.

"Miss, you are so confident. I'm afraid your plan has already succeeded. Then the spot for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is still yours."

"Almost... Although that thing was not used on Xu Mingxi, Xu Xinyue received it. It doesn't matter which one of them uses it. I see that Xu Xinyue has never seen good things before, so she will definitely use it. That thing works quickly, but it is difficult to cure. You can't leave the house for at least ten days or half a month."

After saying this, she tutted her lips with regret: "What a pity for that box of rouge, it's a new product from Ning Lu Zhai, very expensive, even I can't bear to use it, it's wasted like this, oh!"

Thinking of this, she felt pain in her heart again. With an angry "ding-dong", she threw the pearl earrings she had taken off and tried on into her dressing table.

"Oh, young lady, why do you have to take out your anger on these good things? As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. When you attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and show off your talents at the banquet, there will be many good men waiting for you to choose. That is far more than a box of rouge can compare to.

When the time comes, all you have to do is beckon, and all the good rouge and powder will ‘fly’ towards you.” Qiu Lian became more and more exaggerated.

But Xu Baiyu agreed with it and nodded continuously. She happily fiddled in front of the makeup mirror again. She stretched her slender neck, raised her chin slightly, and pretended to be unattainable and cold. She stroked her cheek complacently, as if she really saw the scene of being the moon surrounded by stars.

It seemed as if he was saying to Qiu Lian or to himself: "Yes, this is not all I want."
