Don't be tempted, sir

Chapter 103 Face towel

Qizhu has not come out since she married into the palace. The queen has not yet taught her how to manage the harem. She only hopes that they can have a son or daughter soon after their marriage to continue the family line. Wu Shi and Bai Ying were practicing archery at the archery field when a female official came to report: "Princess Consort, Miss Shen is in the palace asking to see you."

"Yining! Let's go, let's stop playing." Qizhu was happy, dropped her bow and arrow and came to the prince's palace.

Shen Yining stood outside the hall and waited obediently. Qizhu came over gracefully and said, "Yining, come into the hall and talk."

"Greetings, Princess. Best regards, Princess."

Arriving at the hall, Qizhu signaled the female officials to leave, and the two returned to their previous happy appearance: "Yining, do you want to eat something delicious? Cherry Dew has been released recently, and it's delicious!" Qizhu asked the female official to bring it.

The two sat down, and Shen Yining spoke: "Sister, my father and elder brother have also left the city for the border state. This war may be dangerous, and I don't know what I can do. I heard that this time it may be poisonous, so I came to discuss with you to make a face towel that can cover the mouth and nose to block the poison gas."

"washcloth..."

Neither of them drank the cherry dew yet. Qizhu took her to the palace's clothing department, and the steward came out to greet her: "Greetings, Crown Princess. Hello, Crown Princess. I don't know if it's a matter of instruction, why did you ask the Crown Princess to come here in person."

Qizhu lowered her eyes with dignity and looked at him without saying a word, but the female official beside her gestured.

Nanny Zhang realized that she was being unreasonable. How could she dare to stay at the door? She quickly made way and said, "Princess, please!"

A group of people came in, and the embroiderer was listening in the garden. Qizhu signaled Shen Yining with her eyes.

Shen Yining stepped forward and said, "Excuse me, fellow embroiderers, but I'd like to ask you, do you know which face towel is breathable but can block dust? I don't ask for beauty, but for simplicity and practicality. Oh, and it's not just dust, it also has choking smoke."

The embroiderers discussed and one of them stepped out as a representative: "Miss, if you don't want it to look good, you can use coarse cotton to block the dust and fine cotton to reinforce it, but smoke... this is a bit difficult."

The leading nanny just answered, "Shuzhou bamboo silk brocade is delicate and thin, and can block some smoke."

Qizhu glanced sideways and asked, "Do you have any bamboo silk brocade from Shuzhou in the palace?"

"Replying to the Crown Princess, yes. But silk and brocade are hard to come by, so I only made summer pajamas for His Majesty in the palace, you and the Crown Prince... I wonder if this lady made this face towel..."

Shen Yining continued: "Do you have any scraps? You can make one for me first!" Qizhu wanted to start making it right away, but Shen Yining shook his head.

The nanny looked up at Qizhu's face and said, "There are some leftovers."

Qizhu glanced at him and said, "Then make one for Yining, and you can use my portion!"

"Yes, Princess. When does the girl want it?"

Qizhu said unhappily: "For now, I will wait here."

The nanny hurriedly took the embroiderer to do it, and the female official took the Cherry Dew to the garment making department. The two of them drank while waiting at the table under the tree.

Shen Yining whispered: "Sister is awesome!"

Qizhu winked proudly: "The Queen taught us that servants should act according to the Queen's mood. If you want to manage servants well, you can't be too presumptuous. You should be aggressive when you need to be aggressive."

"The maids in the palace are too smooth. If Sister had just given in, I don't know when we could get the face towel."

Qizhu certainly smiled back. After they finished drinking the sweet soup, the nanny came over with a face towel. It was worthy of being sewn by an embroiderer in the palace, with the edges carefully finished.

After getting the face towel and coming to the Prince's Palace, the two of them made comments as usual. Shen Yining explained the situation and wanted to go to Doctor Liu's house to ask if it could be used.

"Yining, I'll take you there."

The prince smiled and said, "Eunuch Qing, go get Dr. Liu." He turned and looked at Song Xiaoyuan, "Cousin, when you look at your beloved, you won't think about anything."

Song Xiaoyuan smiled, and the prince continued: "Wait for you to run back and forth to Liu's house. If there are any changes, it will take time. Just ask Liu Taiyi to come and see if it can be used. If there are any changes, just do it directly. My cousin didn't marry the sister of the Shen family, it's urgent!"

Smiling: "Yes, what my cousin said makes sense, it was my brother who was reckless."

Shen Yining was puzzled: "Aren't they king and subject? How did they become cousins?"

Qizhu scratched her nose: "Yining, what am I to you?"

"Cousin Qizhu."

"So, I, your cousin, marry Yan Shang, and Lord Song marries you, your cousin, and we are a family now!"

The prince replied, "Song Xiaoyuan, cousin Song! Being your cousin is more enjoyable than being your master."

"My cousin is right, that's right." Song Xiaoyuan returned to the table, not wanting to pay any more attention to the complacent prince.

Shen Yining smiled and approached, bending down to whisper in his ear to comfort him: "Xiao Yuan, you've been wronged, it's okay! I will treat you well."

Song Xiaoyuan turned around and looked at the lecherous Shen Yining, smiling seductively: "Thank you Yining for your love."

Shen Yining lifted his chin and said, "You are so beautiful, I will definitely spoil you!"

The prince and Qizhu looked at each other, and the prince said jokingly: "Xiao Yuan, you smile so considerately, I'm afraid the one who gets on the bridal sedan is..."

Shen Yining let go, Song Xiaoyuan looked into her eyes and said, "As long as Yining likes it, it doesn't matter."

Two people watching the show: “….” Oh~~goosebumps all over the floor.

Shen Yining looked at his beautiful face seriously and said, "Xiao Yuan, I've measured my size for the wedding dress, but I'm afraid it's not big enough for you."

Song Xiaoyuan smiled, turned around and commented: "Yining really wants to marry me, that's good too."

Two people watching the show: "....." They were talking about a very new kind of love. I couldn't understand it, but I was quite shocked.

Doctor Liu entered the hall and bowed: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. What's the matter? But that medicine..."

"No, please ask Doctor Liu to take a look at this face towel, it may be able to block the poison."

Doctor Liu took it. It was made of coarse cotton cloth on the outside, another layer of unknown material in the middle, and fine cotton cloth on the inside. It was made of three layers in total.

"May I ask, Your Highness, what is the middle floor?"

"Shuzhou bamboo silk brocade." Qizhu replied, handing over the prince's nightgown for Doctor Liu to examine.

"Well, this bamboo silk brocade can block a little bit, but I think... if we use cotton mixed with bamboo charcoal to pad under the coarse cotton cloth, and then put this bamboo silk brocade and fine cotton, it may be more effective!"

Shen Yining asked, "Bamboo charcoal, the black one."

"Yes, bamboo charcoal can absorb and filter. If poison passes through, there is bamboo silk to block it."

Qizhu stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go find the Queen. Regardless of whether this face towel is effective or not, I'll make it and send it to Daddy."

The queen naturally agreed. What could a mere lingerie do compared to the war at the border? She ordered the palace embroiderers to stop working on summer clothes and rush to make the urgently needed face towels.

"Yan Shang, the bamboo silk and brocade of Shuzhou may not be enough for an army of 100,000..."

"Make a batch first and send them over. Not everyone needs to wear them. Just wear them when you rush forward to kill the enemy!"

Shen Changjun and Shen Rushan went to the borders of two places separately halfway. When they arrived in Linzhou, the war became serious again. The three kingdoms went to war together and attacked several states on the border of Liao. For a time, the war was raging. Shen Rushan sent most of his soldiers to rush to several states for support, leaving only 10,000 soldiers. A strong attack was no longer possible, so he could only use his wits to defeat them.
