Queen of flowers - chapter 146
All the complicated rituals of Princess Long Qing’s wedding day had nothing to do with Yong Ruo.
She was only responsible to enter the palace to participate in the wedding banquet, eat a big meal and add joy to the quiet palace.
At the last dowry gift ceremony, the princess looked for her.
So at this palace feast, many noble ladies also looked at her with surprise. They toasted with her and talked, as if they were friends for many years.
Therefore, Yong Ruo’s plan to make a fortune through the palace feast went well.
She absorbed all the sterilization drugs in the woman she could reach and increased her points by more than 20,000 points.
It could be expected that in the future, those women who had been given sterility drugs could conceive and get pregnant in Beijing.
Would those underground merchants selling sterilization drugs be badly rated by customers and asked for refunds?
If such a thing happened, would they jump out to investigate the reasons to maintain their business reputation?
These people were doing illegal business.
If too many complaints were filed, they were more likely to be reported in secret. If there were a lot of complaints, the chance of them getting exposed would be greatly increased.
If it caught the attention of the government, it may be possible to clean up some evil forces while the emperor was still in power.
It was said that before the emperor ascended the throne, he had done such a thing, destroying many illegal dens that made and sold sterility drugs.
After Princess Long Qing’s wedding, Feng Liao took a rest for another two days.
In these two days, he concentrated on teaching Yong Ruo to ride horses.
The running track in the garden hadn’t been ready yet.
Yong Ruo still could only walk around on the horse. But for her, as a beginner, this was enough.
Two days later, Feng Liao came back from the palace and told Yong Ruo that he received the third task that the emperor had entrusted to him—to worship the ancestral tombs.
The emperor dreamed of his ancestors. He guessed that the ancestors missed their descendants and so he sent Feng Liao to worship at the ancestral hall to show filial piety.
“Don’t worry! I’m going to the tomb, talk to the ancestors and pray for them. Although it’s hard work, it’s not dangerous …” Feng Liao comforted Yong Ruo.
Yong Ruo didn’t say anything but felt that Feng Liao’s expression was a bit unnatural. It might be true that Feng Liao was going to the tombs but he may not have told the whole truth.
“I see!” She smiled at Feng Liao, “Be careful when you are outside! Pay particular attention to the safety of food and water. Do you remember all the knowledge about disease prevention that I told you before?”
Since he wanted to hide from her, why would she urge him?
“Of course I remember! Whatever you tell me, I will remember!”
“Remember, you must do it! Water must be boiled before drinking, food must be cooked before eating …” She again told him basic hygiene knowledge. “Actually when you’re not home, I get worried, so take care of yourself … “
After admonishing some precautions, Yong Ruo again instructed the maids to pack Feng Liao’s luggage.
In addition to changing clothes and daily necessities, various emergency medicines were also brought.
Yong Ruo exchanged some high-end medicines from Xun for Feng Liao to bring with him.
Xun told her, “The ‘medicine’ you exchanged from me has a shelf life of only one day!”
“Are you kidding me? How can there be medicine with a shelf life of only one day?”
He said arrogantly, “My medicines look like elixir. They are not real pills! Have you ever seen a pill that melts and doesn’t make a person feel like they are taking medicine at all?”
Yong Ruo was speechless.
The night before departure, Feng Liao pulled Yong Ruo to the dressing table. Just like the night of her wedding, he untied her hair buns and combed her hair with a comb.
After Yong Ruo’s hair was combed, he sat at the dressing table and asked Yong Ruo to untie and comb his hair.
After the hair of both of them was combed, Feng Liao picked up a scissor, cut a small strand of the hair of each of them, tangled it and knotted it. He stuffed it in the purse Yong Ruo gave him when they went to the hot spring village.
He temporarily placed the purse on the dressing table, fiddled with scissors again, twisted a strand of their respective hair, still tangled and gave it to Yong Ruo.
“Ruo Ruo, I really don’t want you …” He said bitterly, “Since I can’t stay by your side every day. Let’s tie our hair together and keep it by our side as a symbol of our love!”
Yong Ruo slowly stretched out her hand and took over the tangled strands of hair, and suddenly the words “a married couple” flashed in her mind.
As a modern man who often cut her hair, Yong Ruo didn’t have such delicate and elegant minds at first.
But at this moment, her heart got unusually soft. She felt that with this strand of hair in her hand, they could no longer be separated from each other and there was an indescribable kind of tenderness.
She wrapped the strand of hair carefully with a parchment, pinched it in her hands, smiled and said to Feng Liao, “I will also make a purse, put it in it and carry it with me every day.”
“Then you must have a purse like me!” Feng Liao’s eyes were slightly red.
He took the purse with their hair from the dresser, raised it to his nose, closed his eyes and sniffed.
It was an ochre-shaped round purse embroidered with a pattern of red plum blossoms.
Looking at his behavior, Yong Ruo had an uplifting feeling in his heart.
“Okay! I will make a pair!” She said with a smile.
When they rolled the sheets that night, Feng Liao was extremely gentle and considerate, patient and delicate.
He placed Yong Ruo, who was worried for him on the bed, tracing every contour of her with his fingertips, soothing every inch of her skin …
Yong Ruo had an unprecedentedly smooth feeling.
This unrestrained feeling came from the surging passion, from the pleasure produced by neurotransmitters, but also from the intimacy of physical and mental fusion, as if both souls had a brief meeting.
