Chapter 11 - It’s Indeed Rather Smooth

———————-

The fact that the detoxification pills were useful proved that Qian Jiujiu's medical skills were real.

Nonetheless, no matter how did Dong Chen investigate, he could not find out how did Qian Jiujiu learned the skills.

Mu Yexiao's lips could not help curving upward. Qian Jiujiu, it seems like the coming days will be rather interesting.

Suddenly, Qian Jiujiu woke from her sleep and sneezed. Rubbing her nose, she mumbled, "Who's missing me? I can't even have a good sleep."

Saying that, she stretched her arms lazily. "Hong Ling, bring a basin of water for me, will you?"

Hong Ling who had been beside her all the time instantly went to fetch some water after hearing Qian Jiujiu's instruction. In a jiffy, she was back with a basin of water.

"Princess Consort, here's the water that you needed."

Qian Jiujiu directly rinsed her face clean and looked into the bronze mirror while patting her cheeks.

"Hong Ling, look. Is my skin better now? I feel like it's already smoother now."

Hong Ling too was studying Qian Jiujiu's face tentatively.

"It's real, Princess Consort. Look, your skin does look better now! Is this the function of this face mask? So amazing."

Qian Jiujiu chuckled. "Let's go and meet the Prince."

Qian Jiujiu immediately walked in front, but when she reached the door she stopped. With a few awkward coughs, she said embarrassingly.

"Hong Ling, lead the way."

"Yes, Princess Consort."

Hong Ling really wanted to laugh, but she dared not to. Honestly speaking, the Prince's compound was really near, it was only beside where they were.

Qian Jiujiu could even get lost when the distance was so near. She really had some 'skills' up her sleeves.

With Hong Ling's help, Qian Jiujiu reached the entrance of Mu Yexiao's room. "Your Highness, the Princess Consort is here."

Mu Yexiao lifted his head to welcome Qian Jiujiu. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Qian Jiujiu twirled in front of Mu Yexiao, then squatted before him.

"Look at me, do you see any changes? Hmm?"

Mu Yexiao lifted her eyebrows and eyed Qian Jiujiu with frustration. Is this Qian Jiujiu having a stroke now?

Seeing that Mu Yexiao said nothing after some time, Qian Jiujiu cocked her head to one side involuntarily.

"Such an obvious change and you can't see it? My face, my skin, such a big difference. Touch it, it's smoother now."

While saying that, she took Mu Yexiao's hand and rubbed it against her face a few times gently. Everyone in the room had their eyes widened.

They were all guessing whether Qian Jiujiu would be instantly flung away by Mu Yexiao's palm. After all, their Prince Xiao had just one specialty.

That was, he never got close to women. No one expected Qian Jiuiju to be so brave.

Albeit, Qian Jiujiu was so not sensitive that she did not at all notice the weird atmosphere in the room at the moment.

Mu Yexiao was shocked by the sudden action. When he came back to his senses, he unconsciously pinched Qian Jiujiu's cheek.

Qian Jiujiu winced and was about to say something, but Mu Yexiao spoke.

"It's indeed rather smooth."

After much struggle, Qian Jiujiu's face was finally free from Mu Yexiao's claws. "What is wrong with you?"

"I asked you to touch, not pinch. It's painful, you know? My skin got better and you were the first one I share this news with. You're really immoral."

Mu Yexiao was shocked by Qian Jiujiu's words. He was the one she shared the news with?

It looked like he was rather important in Qian Jiujiu's heart now. He could not help lifting the corners of his mouth.

"I just can't help it. By the way, what happened to your face? Don't tell me its the face mask? It's that effective?"

Saying that, Mu Yexiao closed his eyes, not sure what he was thinking about.
