Chapter 2656: Skin Care

"Indeed, quite busy. My skin has been rather dry lately, and I need to go back and do some skincare!"

Xuexue narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Skincare?"

Miss Qian was completely oblivious and smugly said, "Yes! Women who don’t do skincare age easily. Just now, I finally got the maid to make some Rose Dew and I’m waiting to apply it. By then, my skin will be so smooth, the Prince will surely like it."

Speaking of which, Miss Qian bowed her head and smiled bashfully.

The entire Capital says the Princess Consort of War Prince resembles a Heavenly Immortal, but in her current state, she’s nearly like a mad old maid. When the Prince sees her, would he still love her so much that he’d rather die than live?

By then, this beauty would stand there tenderly, the Prince upon seeing her would surely brighten up, he might even remember her, and from then on, they’d be inseparable, and the Princess Consort wouldn’t matter anymore.

The more Miss Qian thought about it, the happier she got, and she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The steward angrily glared at Miss Qian. How could this woman still be laughing? He and the Princess Consort nearly lost their lives, yet she’s so happy.

Xuexue: "Rose Dew? Where did you get Rose Dew?"

Rose Dew applied on the body has a fragrant scent, which is favored by the young ladies of the Capital. The street shops selling rouge have tight supplies; typically, as soon as there is stock, it gets snatched away.

Miss Qian raised her hand to cover her small mouth with a smug smile: "Sister is jealous, right? Unfortunately, there is not much, just enough for me alone."

Even if there is more, she wouldn’t give it away. Things that can make one beautiful should be kept for oneself, of course.

Xuexue said coldly: "I ask you, where did the Rose Dew come from?"

Lately, Zi Xia had been chattering incessantly that the roses in the garden had been disappearing without a reason.

These roses were planted secretly by Xuexue after arriving at the War Prince’s Mansion, taken from her own space.

Just several roses disappearing didn’t bother Xuexue initially.

However, hearing that Miss Qian had Rose Dew, Xuexue immediately remembered this matter.

Hearing Xuexue’s voice turn stern, Miss Qian raised her head and said, "We made it ourselves!"

Xuexue gave her a sidelong glance: "Where did the roses come from?"

Miss Qian responded matter-of-factly: "Picked from the garden!"

"How bold!"

Xuexue slapped the table heavily: "The flowers in the garden, without the Princess Consort’s permission, how dare you pick them randomly?"

Miss Qian was startled, quickly withdrawing her nonchalant expression, looking at Xuexue and asking: "Princess Consort, it’s just a few roses, do you need to be so angry?"

Before Xuexue could speak, the steward loudly reprimanded her: "Bold! The Princess Consort has repeatedly reminded everyone that the flowers in the garden cannot be picked casually; did you not know?"

Miss Qian began to feel uneasy, holding a small handkerchief, twisting and twirling it helplessly, and said pitifully: "I saw those roses blooming there, wasting away, that’s why I asked the maid to pick them."

Xuexue sneered: "Making excuses after committing mistakes, no wonder when I sent Zi Xia to pick roses these days, she said they were picked by someone. So it was you!"

Xuexue looked as though she finally found the culprit and then said: "Steward, tell the Princess Consort, what’s the punishment for not following the rules of the Prince’s Mansion?"

The steward’s clothes were torn and tattered, his hair disheveled. At the moment, he was feeling quite crushed inside, inwardly roaring: Princess Consort, aren’t you going to investigate who sent explosives into the mansion? Why bother punishing Miss Qian?

However, in front of everyone, he couldn’t disrespect the Princess Consort, so he awkwardly stepped forward and said: "Reporting to Princess Consort, the light punishment is fifty mouth slaps, the heavy punishment is fifty strokes."
