Chapter 301 The Dark Tide is Raging

If there is a careful person present, will find this white porcelain box is very familiar.

Yes, what Chu Jingxiao handed to Zhao Guifei to see was precisely the box of secret 'Beauty Incense' that Granny Ogiwa had sold to him.

Zhao Guifei looked at the porcelain box in Chu Jingxiao's hands hesitantly and did not take it until Chu Jingxiao's hand passed forward again, and only then did she hesitantly take the small, plain box in Chu Jingxiao's hands.

After checking the Beauty Incense over and over again, Noble Consort Zhao wanted to open the top seal again to smell it.

"Mother Consort, never!"

Chu Jingxiao hurriedly spoke out to interrupt Noble Consort Zhao's movements, and he was afraid that Noble Consort Zhao's hands would be quick to open the porcelain box, so he even deliberately reached over to hold it down.

The stopped Noble Consort Zhao looked at Chu Jingxiao with uncertainty: "What's wrong with it? Isn't this just an ordinary folk balm?"

Chu Jingxiao slowly loosened his hand, took the beauty incense in Zhao Guifei's hand back and carefully inspected it, and was relieved to find that the beauty incense was intact.

And only then did he look meaningfully at the beauty incense in his hand, and then mysteriously said to Noble Consort Zhao:

"Mother consort don't underestimate this balm, it's a 'beauty fragrance'!"

"'Beauty Incense'? Isn't that what you gave to those ministers' hoochies to use?"

Zhao Guifei was a little bit impressed by this, at that time she also let Chu Jingxiong get her some 'beauty incense' as well, but that incense seemed to be useless to Chu Hongzhen, so then it also stopped there.

"This incense is different from ordinary beauty incense, this one is specially customized for Father."

Chu Jingxiao tenderly stroked the white porcelain box in his hand, only thinking that his whole body and mind attention was on top of this tiny porcelain box.

"For your father's use? It's hard to ......"

Once Zhao Guifei heard this, she also became interested, and the eyes that looked at the beauty incense in Chu Jingxiao's hands were different from just now.

"Mother consort only guessed half right, this incense as long as coated in the body of young and beautiful virgin women, can make the smell of incense people fascinated, and to the coated balm of the one who listen and obey."

Chu Jingxiao's voice suddenly lowered by a few points, and his originally gloomy tone became even more ghostly by a few points.

"But this sounds like there is no difference with that beauty incense you said with this palace before, didn't you tell this palace that that incense is useless to the emperor?"

Noble Consort Zhao rested one hand on her cheek and looked seriously at Chu Jingxiao.

"Mother Consort will be able to know the benefits of this incense afterward. As long as this matter comes to fruition, changing the dynasty will only be a matter of the blink of an eye."

Chu Jingxiao smiled smugly and quickly took back the beauty fragrance in his hand into his arms.

"And what do you expect the Palace to do?"

Noble Consort Zhao used to have Nurse Zhao on the side to advise her, so there were many things that she actually didn't do personally.

However, it was good that this son of hers, Chu Jingxun, did have some real skills, so Noble Consort Zhao simply threw the question directly back to Chu Jingxun.

Chu Jingxiao wasn't ambiguous either, he looked at Noble Consort Zhao with the same grave expression after he placed the Beauty Incense: "Mother Consort hasn't cooked for a long time, right? Father must miss Mother Consort's steamed fish."

He spoke confidently of his intentions, those narrow eyes narrowing slightly into slits again.

"You mean, let me invite your father over for dinner? But he doesn't even like to come to my place lately."

Thinking of this Zhao Guifei sighed quietly, the sorrow in those beautiful eyes was even thicker than it could be melted.

"Mother consort this palace has not added a new courtesan for a long time, just now my son saw that this Shufang Palace is not busy."

Chu Jingxiao did not directly answer, but instead spoke to Noble Consort Zhao about another topic.

This time, Noble Consort Zhao didn't say anything else, but just looked at Chu Jingxiao suspiciously, not understanding what this had to do with letting her cook:

"At that time, I will arrange for Mother Consort to bring in a few more hu women who work well and are clever, and Mother Consort will not have to worry about the rest."

When Chu Jingxiao said ''Hu female'', she deliberately bit the two words with a heavier accent, and Noble Consort Zhao instantly understood Chu Jingxiao's meaning beyond the words.

Her extremely well-maintained face did not leave the slightest trace of age, and she nodded at Chu Jingxiao, though a pair of fine eyebrows were still lightly knitted together.

"As for Father not coming to Mother Consort's place? Has Mother Consort forgotten that Yuanqing loves tea?"

After Chu Jingxiao reminded her of this, Noble Consort Zhao remembered that since Mammy Zhao had gone, she rarely had contact with Yuanqing's side.

For one thing, because she'd been grounded for a while and everyone hated to stay away from her;

Secondly, it used to be Nurse Zhao who took care of these things, and although she would instruct Nurse Zhao on the relevant matters, when did she need to personally worry about these things.

Xu was thinking of Zhao Nurse, Zhao Noble Consort's thoughts paused slightly, seeing this, Chu Jingxiao could only helplessly sigh darkly:

"Never mind, I have my own arrangements for this matter, Mother Consort just needs to organize the meal."

"Fuse, you know I used to never have to ask about these trivial little things, it's all nursemaid she ......"

Zhao Guifei want to go to pull Chu Jingxiao's hand, she did not use 'the palace' word this time, it seems to be really love on the heart difficult to self want to say some sincere words with Chu Jingxiao.

Unfortunately, Chu Jingxiao only squirmed and shrunk his hand back, avoiding Noble Consort Zhao's touch.

Although over the years he has long known that Zhao Guifei is the only person who sincerely hopes that he is good, but there are still some things he is still difficult to tell Zhao Guifei a clear understanding.

Chu Jingxiao always worried that one day Zhao Guifei will also leave him, after all, once so loved him Chu Hongzhen is so. And Zhao Guifei ......

From the time Chu Jingxiao had a memory, Zhao Guifei would only urge him to read and practice writing every day, and to be proficient in all aspects of literature and military strategy. As long as he was a little slack, Noble Consort Zhao would either hit or scold him.

This situation has been maintained until after the Chu Hongzhen that happened, he changed his previous nature every day to bury his head in hard reading, mother and son's relationship has only improved.

However, he treated Noble Consort Zhao, but he never warmed up.

Coupled with the fact that for so many years, Zhao Noble Consort treated Chu Hongzhen's true heart Chu Jingxiao saw it in his eyes.

He didn't dare to think that if he really let Consort Zhao choose, would she choose him or Chu Hongzhen?

Although Zhao Guifei is his biological mother, but in this huge palace, what can be truly counted.

Chu Jingxiao didn't want to gamble and didn't dare to gamble.

He can only trust himself and only himself in this world.

Noble Consort Zhao, who did not hold Chu Jingxiao's hand, just froze for a moment as she took her hand back and asked helplessly:

"Your father is coming to dinner then are you coming? It's also been a long time since you dined with my palace at Shufang Palace."

"We'll see, the household is busy these days."

Chu Jingxiao again lowered his head and fiddled with the loops around his waist, Zhao Guifei could only see the top of Chu Jingxiao's dark head, and could not see Chu Jingxiao's expression, and also failed to hear any emotion from Chu Jingxiao's tone.

"Fine, then we'll eat alone when you're free, I don't think you want to dine with your father."

Zhao Guifei brought her body over to touch Chu Jingxiao's shoulder, and this scene once again pulled Chu Jingxiao's memories back to the past.

When he was a child, after he managed to get compliments from Tai Fu, he would come back and report to Noble Consort Zhao.

Back then, Noble Consort Zhao was very strict with Chu Jingxiao, and she only smiled faintly every time and reached out to touch Chu Jingxiao's shoulders. It was never like Chu Yunshen and their mother consort, who would smile gently at him and make delicious pastries as a reward.

When he was a child, what he longed for most was for his mother to treat him that way someday, but these were old things that were about to fade away, and what he couldn't get in the past, he didn't want now.

So really when there was such a day when Noble Consort Zhao started to change her attitude towards him, he instead became even more uncomfortable. And the better Noble Consort Zhao treated him in recent years, the more he didn't want to face this.

Chu Jingxiao coldly twisted his shoulders, thinking of Zhao Guifei's pair of affectionate eyes finally could not bear to vaguely ''hmm''.

Seeing Chu Jingxiao, who had already gotten up and left, out of Shufang Palace's door, only then did Noble Consort Zhao manage to retract her eyes and resume her usual arrogant and domineering demeanor.

Inside the Jing Wang Mansion Cheng Xiaoxiao resumed her previous boring life, I should say it was even more boring than before.

Now without the company of the evening sun the little fledgling bird is also still in the treasure letter did not come out, Cheng Xiaoxiao can only be a person, no, a cat, alone to stay in the room.

Read the book!

More books, more newspapers, less TV, more sleep.

There are no newspapers now either, only books.

If there was a TV and a cell phone, or a computer and a tablet, then Cheng Xiaoxia could probably be so happy that she couldn't sleep at night.

Dreaming in the middle of the day.

Bye thinking of my sister, a Jay's "I'm Not Worthy" for myself.

Cheng Xiaoxiao laughed to herself in her heart.

The Strange Door Book was turned over under his paws, but it didn't delay the progress at all.

Chu Yunshen also did not know where he had gone, as if he had been very busy for the past two days after returning from Granny Dixie's yard.

Is it because of the case of Horu-Ru and their hooch merchants?

In fact, Chu Yunshen really did tell Cheng Xiaoxiao where he was going, it was just that the sleeping Cheng Xiaoxiao was basically in a brain dead state in the morning, and didn't even hear what Yunshen muttered in her ear.

That said, since this time back, it seemed like Chu Yunshen had become very fond of talking to herself with her ah.

Although Cheng Xiaoxiao knew that was actually Chu Yunshen talking to her, after all, now that she was known to be a human being, it was natural that she would be treated a little differently than before.

But Cheng Xiaoxiao is still a cat body now anyways, it's not like Chu Yunshen doesn't know that she can only make 'meow' calls.

Every time Chu Yunshen spoke to Cheng Xiaoxiao, Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to respond very much, but the physical hardware did not allow it, so she could only dance with her hands and use her body movements to replace everything.

The heart is bitter, but it can't be said.

Mubai that medicine also do not know how the progress of how, I hope he can come to him a one-time a few hundred pills, by then Cheng Xiaoxiao is like eating McLeod's, crunchy, extra fragrant.

That way you don't have to rely on the jade pendant either, and you don't have to say fixed lines every time like the River God.

Speaking of this Cheng Xiaoxiao also has always wanted to spit, why jade pendant must help the ghosts to fulfill their wishes ah, now better, jade pendant advanced as if the ghosts of the spirit of insufficient power will also be absorbed by the jade pendant.

At the beginning of that setting Cheng Xiaoxiao felt like a living, breathing River God No. 2, except that the River God was asking 'young woodcutter yo, what axe did you drop', while she Cheng Xiaoxiao was asking 'dreadful wronged soul yo, what else do you wish for'.

Where is the difference in this essence!

Still not all poor NPCs!
