Chapter 18 Medicated Bath
It got dark before I knew it. The final result was that Li Chengze lost a round to Huilan. However, she looked at the sky and said with a smile, "Master, it's time to go to bed. You have to go to the study tomorrow."
Li Chengze pursed his lips, glared at her, and stood up helplessly, "I want a massage."
As the price for her to compensate herself.
Chang Ji quickly ordered Ding Xiang and others to fetch water for his master to wash up.
Huilan has the medicinal materials and has already started to take care of her skin, quite carefully.
In the past, things were not so precise. Monks had to compete for resources and work hard to survive without caring about appearance. Beauty was actually a burden.
Now the situation is different. She needs beauty to compete for favors so that she can live a better life. Naturally, she has to change her way of life.
Li Chengze had already washed up in the room and watched Huilan apply moisturizer on herself carefully. The smell was light and floral, and it smelled good.
Benzoin had been lit in the incense burner in the corner, and the quiet atmosphere allowed Li Chengze to slowly calm down and relax for a while.
Huilan finally finished dilly-dallying and planned to climb into bed to rest.
But Li Chengze reminded her with a smile, "Why don't you take off your clothes? You sleep in your coat?"
Huilan's face suddenly turned red when she was reminded that it was him who was confused yesterday, so it didn't matter. She had been a young girl her whole life, and she was inevitably shy when facing adult men.
"oh."
He stood up again and took off his outer robe and skirt, revealing the pink fine cotton jacket and leggings trousers underneath. He climbed up and lay down again, quickly covering himself with the quilt.
Li Chengze couldn't help but smile, and leaned over to stare at her for a long time before he realized that this girl had really good skin. She was born with fair skin, and her skin was delicate and smooth, and it felt really comfortable to the touch.
Her face was flushed, and her eyebrows were lowered, not daring to look at herself.
He lowered his head and was only an inch away from her, and could even feel each other's breath on their faces. He smelled the faint fragrance of orchids, and his red lips were alluring.
"Didn't you try your best to make me stay? Why are you so shy again? You said you wanted to give me a massage, so don't be a swindler."
Li Chengze stretched out his hand and gently touched her face. The touch was delicate and soft, making people linger. Staring at her red lips, his throat moved.
"Who's shy? Turn around and I'll relax your back."
Huilan blushed and pushed him, then gave him a fierce look.
Li Chengze did not continue to tease her, but he was in a very good mood, and suddenly found the little girl very attractive.
Turning around and lying on his stomach, Huilan relaxed his shoulders, neck and back, letting him relax his muscles.
There was a pleasant smell of benzoin in his nose. Li Chengze gradually relaxed and fell asleep slowly. Before going to sleep, he asked confusedly, "Can the old man use this fragrance to please the emperor's grandmother?"
"It can be used. Wait until I make more and you can send it to me. I have no more medicine."
"Ask Chang Ji for whatever you need. I will remember your goodness."
What Li Chengze means is that I remember your contribution, and I will always protect you if you don't violate any taboos.
Huilan smiled and said, just this sentence is enough, she does not harm others and will not be bullied casually. I just want to live a peaceful life. I have never been stable before. Now I want to enjoy a rich life, that's all.
Li Chengze slept soundly, and Huilan took a breath and lay down to rest.
I went through it in my head before going to bed, and gradually found the secret to getting along with him, being open and honest without hiding anything private, being able to be clever but not going too far.
It's basically okay after the incident is over. Li Chengze doesn't like others to treat him as a fool. Don't be so hypocritical. Just ask for whatever you want and I'll give it to you if you can.
After all, you are also my woman, and I won’t wrong you too much, but don’t be self-righteous or smart.
After thinking about it carefully, there are no loopholes. Apart from concealing things that cannot be said, I have basically never lied. This way, I am not afraid of being found out in the future and unable to make up my lies.
Early the next morning, there was a little light, and Li Chengze was woken up by Chang Ji. Huilan also woke up, rubbed her eyes, sat up, and dozed off with her head hanging down.
When she just woke up, she looked so soft and cute, so cute that it made your heart tremble, and you couldn't bear to wrong her in the slightest.
Li Chengze stepped forward and touched her little face, helped her pull up her scattered middle coat, and hugged her and lay down again.
"Don't get up, go to sleep. I asked Chang Ji to bring you pens, ink, paper and inkstones later. Don't you want to practice calligraphy? The tools for martial arts training will be delivered later. Just tell Chang Ji what you need and let him do it.
.”
"Okay, I'll make a list. I also need a medicine jar, and the medicine needs to be refined. The medicine for the medicinal bath needs to be adjusted according to the body's condition, and the medicine for cleansing the marrow and cutting the pulse also needs to be refined.
Don't tell others, my parents don't know this, and you will be in trouble if you tell me."
Huilan yawned and covered herself with the quilt.
"Okay, be good, go to sleep."
Li Chengze raised his lips with a faint smile and asked Chang Ji to get dressed and go to the outer room to wash up and eat.
Huilan didn't care and just slept soundly. Chang Ji took a sneak peek and felt that this little Liangyuan was really a strange person.
She could make the prince happy, she would do anything she wanted, and she could hit the crown prince's weaknesses and desires every time.
Yu Liangdi was very surprised and uneasy after staying at Ding Liangyuan's place for two days in a row.
At this moment, I finally understood why Yu Liangdi was eager to kill Liangyuan. It was really a clever trick for her to keep the prince overnight without a bed attendant.
But they didn't know that Huilan was just catering to the prince's needs, while Li Chengze wanted to have a good sleep quietly.
"Master, the prince is a little too kind to this Liangyuan. Today he sent a lot of pens, inks, paper and inkstones to her."
Xiuyun was also a little anxious. Since the Crown Princess had not seen the door, there was no one to control her. If she was favored at this time, she would have a place when the Crown Princess came in, so she would not be marginalized.
However, the prince is not fond of women and does not go to the backyard to rest more than five times a month.
This made the two Liang Di very helpless. Without the Crown Prince coming, all means would be useless.
"Just wait and see what happens. Don't provoke her. What we have to do is to stabilize ourselves. Fortunately, I am much stronger than Li Liangdi."
Yu Liangdi was also worried, but she wasn't too anxious. After all, Huilan couldn't have a baby if she couldn't sleep with him, so she didn't need to worry too much. Maybe the prince was new and interesting for a while.
"yes."
Huilan wrote a list of the things she needed, as well as the bathtub needed for a medicinal bath, and gave it to Chang Ji to purchase.
In the past few days, Li Chengze was busy with his studies. Huilan took the second course of tonics given by the imperial doctor, and secretly took supplements by herself. Her health improved a lot immediately.
Only then did he start to practice the Yangyuan Kung Fu, which is the most basic set of internal skills and mental techniques, and is very suitable for ordinary people to practice.
It only took one night to get started. After all, I was a monk before, so I have more experience. With the help of elixirs and spiritual springs, I will get better and better. This is an excellent way to regulate the body, especially for mortals.
Taking advantage of Li Chengze's absence, Huilan took a rest at night and stopped keeping vigil with Lilac. After everyone fell asleep, she quietly went into the space to refine the medicine.
To make an ointment for cleansing marrow and cutting pulses, most of the medicinal materials in this formula can be used from outside. The difference lies in the magnitude of the effect.
