The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 64 Look at Me Like This

She forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern. Yulan is doing well recently."

"That's good. It seems my spell is very effective. After it helps you dispel the evil spirits, no evil spirits will dare to approach you for a long time."

Sheng Yunqing's bright eyes revealed pure innocence, and her smile was kind and gentle.

Ming Yulan clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves, wishing she could dig her nails into her flesh.

The two of them finally finished their polite greetings before the electric spark was about to overflow, and walked into the mansion together.

Ming Yulan walked towards the seats, while Sheng Yunqing stopped and looked. The noble ladies were gathered in groups of three or four, talking and laughing.

All the noble ladies who were invited to the banquet held by the Queen Mother last time are now present, and there are also some unfamiliar faces that I have never seen before.

Sheng Yueying was also invited to the party this time, but she and Sheng Yunqing had never had much to discuss, and they never rode in the same carriage. This time, she had already found other good friends, noble ladies, to play with.

A girl with a delicate and round face came forward, nodded to Sheng Yunqing, and said, "Miss Sheng, I am Miss Zhiwan of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I have never met you before. Is it not too presumptuous to invite you over?"

Sheng Yunqing nodded politely, showing just the right smile, and said, "It's an honor for Yunqing to be invited."

Li Zhiwan smiled and said, "Then please take your seat."

"it is good."

This was Sheng Yunqing's first time to participate in such a relaxing and interesting activity. There were various competitions regardless of winning or losing, and the girls' laughter as clear as a stream could be heard.

During the grass-picking segment, the girls discussed various strange and bizarre flowers and plants.

Yunqing has studied medicine since he was young and has a deep understanding of various plants, which he explains to everyone time and time again.

The noble ladies applauded her in admiration, and several girls came up to her and said, "Yun Qing is really amazing."

"Yes, yes. Yunqing is so good at writing poems and playing the game of guessing coins. I never thought he was so knowledgeable and could even understand such a difficult plant so well."

Seeing everyone constantly praising Sheng Yunqing, Ming Yulan, who was not far away, gritted her teeth in anger.

Sheng Yunqing! Why do you all like Sheng Yunqing?

Sheng Yunqing raised his eyes to look at Ming Yulan and asked, "What's wrong, Yulan? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ming Yulan was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and smiled awkwardly: "What's wrong?"

Sheng Yunqing blinked her bright peach blossom eyes and said, "Why are you looking at me with such resentment? Did Yunqing say something wrong just now?"

After he finished speaking, everyone turned to look in Ming Yulan's direction, their faces full of confusion.

Ming Yulan's face flushed immediately. Why didn't Sheng Yunqing play by the rules? He was embarrassing her so brazenly!

She swallowed and said, "No, you are mistaken."

Before she could explain, Sheng Yunqing asked again: "Could it be that day... Are you still blaming me?"

"Yunqing, what are you talking about? Which day? What happened between you and Yulan?"

Sheng Yunqing sighed softly and said, "What a coincidence that day. Yulan and I were having dinner at Hua Man Lou, and suddenly I saw that she was haunted by evil spirits, so I reached out to help her drive away the evil spirits. Then Yulan seemed to be tortured and hurt, and ran back home crying. It's been so long since we last met, Yulan...are you still blaming me?" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Ming Yulan in disbelief, and someone muttered, "Isn't this a clear case of repaying kindness with enmity?"

Sheng Yunqing frowned and said to the noble lady who was talking, "Actually, I understand. After all, Prince Ye was there that day, and Yulan didn't want to lose face. But I did have good intentions that day..."

"Enough!" Ming Yulan suddenly scolded her. Several noble ladies were frightened by her condition and covered their hearts with their hands. Everyone sighed.

Ming Yulan trembled all over, looked at everyone's eyes, quickly adjusted her emotions, frowned sincerely, bowed to Sheng Yunqing, and said: "I think it's because after the evil spirit was dispelled that day, Yulan's mood was not very peaceful, so she was so anxious. The situation was unreasonable at the time. I hope Yunqing won't take it to heart."

Seeing that she finally gave in, Sheng Yunqing raised his lips slightly and said, "If that's the case, then Yunqing has misunderstood. Such symptoms are normal, and Yunqing will naturally not be surprised."

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere around him became lively and relaxed.

Ming Yulan gritted her teeth secretly, but her expression remained calm.

Now she doesn't even have the right to glare at her? !

Sheng Yunqing, just wait for me!

Soon, the maids brought several plates of flower petals of various colors, and the ladies made beautiful rouge themselves to apply on their lips.

Several people were talking and laughing, sharing their experiences with each other. Ming Yulan turned her eyes and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

She said to Linglong, the maid beside her, "I remember a purse fell on the carriage. Go and get it."

"Yes, Miss." Linglong nodded and left quickly. When she passed by Sheng Yunqing, she fell down suddenly, making a mess on the nearby Li Zhiwan's desk.

When everyone was looking over there, Linglong took out the porcelain bottle hidden in her palm and poured a few drops of clear potion into the rouge that Sheng Yunqing was preparing.

Ming Yulan stood up suddenly, bowed to Li Zhiwan, and said, "Zhiwan, I'm really sorry, this lowly maid is so clumsy."

Zhiwan shook her head good-naturedly and said with a smile, "It's okay."

Ming Yulan reprimanded Linglong and said, "Hurry up and leave!"

"Yes!" Linglong received the order and got up and ran away in a panic.

Returning to calm, Ming Yulan watched Sheng Yunqing continue to fiddle with the rouge in the bowl without anyone noticing, and raised the corners of her lips slightly.

The potion is colorless and odorless, and even if it is made into rouge, it is impossible to detect it. Once applied to the lips, they will turn dark purple in less than a quarter of an hour and cannot be washed off for three days and three nights. No matter how good the rouge is, it cannot cover up the color.

Ming Yulan snorted complacently. She really couldn't wait to see Sheng Yunqing crying with those black and purple lips.

Soon after, the rouge was ready, and many noble ladies used bronze mirrors to apply it to their lips, while chatting with the noble ladies nearby and on good terms with them.

Sheng Yunqing noticed Ming Yulan's gaze again, raised his eyes and said to her: "Yulan, the color I made is very beautiful, and it suits you very well. Should we change it?"

Hearing this, Ming Yulan was suddenly startled. She swallowed anxiously and forced a smile, saying, "Thank you Yunqing for your kindness, but I like the color I made myself. It's rare for me to make such a beautiful color. I'll exchange with you next time."

As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't wait to pick up the rouge and apply it to her lips.

"Okay then." Sheng Yunqing smiled faintly at her. Under Ming Yulan's special attention, he picked up a touch of delicate red rouge with his fingertips and evenly applied it on her beautiful lips.
