Chapter 393 Fragrant Dew

"I heard that His Majesty has arranged a competition. I thought that the Eighth Prince would definitely go as well. By then, those women who are still determined to get married will definitely send their love signals to him. So I brought a bottle of perfume to my sister."

Shen Jingzhen spoke in a pretentiously indulgent tone, with a bit of innocence, just like the sister Shen Jingyu had previously thought of.

"Fragrant dew?" Shen Jingyu asked softly.

Shen Jingzhen nodded, opened the lid of the jade bottle, and handed the fragrant dew to Shen Jingzhen: "Sister, smell it."

"Your Highness the Eighth Prince will not like some messy smells. We are ladies from a noble family. We don't need to learn the ways of those prostitutes and rely on these things to seduce men..."

Shen Jingyu preached in a deep voice, and Shen Jingzhen's face immediately fell a little: "It's not what sister thinks, it's just a simple perfume..."

Seeing her depressed, Shen Jingyu finally reached out to take it, put it to her nose and smelled it.

A light floral scent mixed with some fresh and special herbal smell hits you in the face. It's not a cheap and pungent smell, but it's pretty good.

"How is it? I thought that my sister would also like to go to the forest to join in the fun. Although it is winter now, there are bound to be many mosquitoes in the forest. This fragrant dew has some herbs added to it, which can repel mosquitoes. My sister can use it to avoid a lot of troubles..."

Shen Jingzhen has always been eloquent and her words were quite sincere.

After hearing this, Shen Jingyu was a little interested: "Where did this thing come from? How to use it?"

Shen Jingzhen said immediately: "I asked the imperial physician who is familiar with my father for it. It is also easy to use. When my sister washes her hair and takes a bath, just mix it in the water. If there is excess, apply some on the hair. You can also use this fragrance lotion to wash your clothes..."

Hearing this, Shen Jingyu felt relieved: "You are thoughtful."

Shen Jingzhen smiled and said, "You and I are sisters. We are one. We prosper together and suffer together. I was hoping that my sister would marry into a wealthy family in the future and help me arrange my marriage with Feng Lang..."

Shen Jingyu shook her head slightly but said nothing more.

Seeing that she didn't suspect anything, Shen Jingzhen's eyes became more vicious.

People are not killed for their own sake.

Who made Shen Jingyu, Qin Xuerong and the Qin family put her last? Why should she sacrifice her happiness for their power?

What's more, if she marries Brother Feng, she can also win honor and favor for the Qin and Shen families.

Just at this moment, Zhiqi and Baoqin came in with some water, intending to help Shen Jingyu take a bath.

Shen Jingzhen had arrived on time and had no intention of leaving. She sat on the chair with her legs swinging, chatting with her in a random manner.

Shen Jingyu had no choice but to ask her maid to put up a screen between them, as she also didn't want to create a rift between her and her biological sister.

It is winter now and the weather is cold. In addition, there are so many people, so water has become a luxury in this hunting ground.

Fortunately, there was a temporary palace nearby with several springs in it, providing warm water all year round. In addition, there was another moat nearby, and most of the water they used came from these two places.

The stove in the tent was burning hot. Shen Jingzhen looked at the figure behind her through the screen, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

They are sisters, but when she wanted to take a bath her mother refused, while the eldest sister could do whatever she wanted. It's ridiculous.

Seeing that Zhiqi had poured most of the fragrance into the water, Shen Jingzhen curled the corners of her lips.

"Sister, why hasn't His Majesty's order come down yet?"

"The grace of God is unpredictable. How can we easily guess it?" Shen Jingyu spoke in a deep voice, sounding unhurried.

But only Shen Jingyu herself knew that she was actually extremely anxious.

Fortunately, Concubine Jing and Xiao Yuncheng's attitudes remained the same, and His Majesty and the Empress Dowager gave her some rewards, which made her reluctantly breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Shen Jingyu couldn't figure out what His Majesty was worried about.

She is just the daughter of a minister, and has no great power behind her, but she is talented and famous, and in theory she is a good match for Xiao Yuncheng.

Can……

Shen Jingyu didn't dare to think about it. If she worked so hard for so long and still couldn't get that position in the end, she would probably become a laughing stock in the whole capital.

"Even if His Majesty grants the marriage, we will have to wait until the autumn hunt is over and we return to the palace." Shen Jingyu spoke again, not knowing whether she was explaining to Shen Jingzhen or to herself.

Shen Jingzhen said: "Will Big Sister go with His Highness the Eighth Prince when the competition comes? There will definitely be some other women by then."

"The Eighth Prince has invited me to join him, so I shouldn't refuse."

Shen Jingzhen was now extremely annoyed by Shen Jingyu's tone of voice, and felt that she was being pretentious.

If she had thought in the past that her elder sister was extremely beautiful and unparalleled in the world, she would have been the one sitting in a high position with graceful manners.

But now, she felt that, in the final analysis, she was nothing more than a snob who was greedy for power, selfish and self-centered, and was equally afraid of death and being abandoned.

"This is a rare opportunity for us to spend time together on the road. Sister, you must keep a close eye on the Eighth Prince." Shen Jingzhen said again.

Shen Jingyu's eyes were gloomy, and she admitted that what Shen Jingzhen said was indeed what she thought.

However, she had no name or status, and the other party was a prince. Why should she care? Why would she be jealous? She would lose her status in vain.

But in the end, she couldn't bear to let something she had fought for so many years be snatched away by someone else.

Thinking of this, Shen Jingyu said softly: "I know what's going on."

Seeing this, Shen Jingzhen pulled her lips and smiled sarcastically: "I'm going out for a walk. It's too hot here."

"Go."

Having said that, Shen Jingzhen turned and left.

While Baoqin was helping Shen Jingyu wash and comb her hair, she said, "The third young lady seems to have become more sensible."

Shen Jingyu said softly: "She has never suffered any hardship since she was a child. She has always been naive and domineering. It is not easy for her to think more now."

"Young lady will become the prince's consort in the future, and the third young lady will naturally understand more about the power." Zhiqi responded.

Shen Jingyu lowered her eyes, leaned against the bucket, and said nothing more.

She knew that her family was weak and that she would need blood relatives to help her in the future, so Shen Jingzhen was willing to bow down, and she didn't want to ruin her relationship with her. Although her reputation was too bad at the moment and she might not have any good fortune in the future, it was always unpredictable in this world. What if...

Thinking of this, Shen Jingyu thought of Lou Yulan again, and couldn't help feeling more annoyed.

"There seem to be a few Golden Ginseng Heart-Nourishing Pills in His Majesty's reward. You can give them to cousin Yulan later and tell her that they are good for regulating the body, especially for people who are born with weak constitutions and are prone to illness."

"Yes." Zhiqi responded.

Baoqin couldn't help but say, "Young lady treated her with all her heart, but she talked back to you like that yesterday. It's really..."

Shen Jingyu said coldly: "It's a good thing that she cares about something. People are most afraid of things that they don't care about."
