It had to be said that Chen Bi Yun had spent quite a bit of effort on today's sightseeing tour. She had actually prepared a beautiful boat with tea, fresh fruits, and everything that could be found on it.
Standing on the shore, she smiled as she watched Chen Ning slowly approach. When she saw Chen Ning's beautiful face without any makeup, her smile froze on her lips. Her right hand that was hidden in her sleeve couldn't help clenching into a fist.
Miss Chen, who was standing beside her, noticed her strange expression and quietly said, "Second miss, you can't reveal any flaws. No matter how beautiful this cheap person's face is, it won't be long before she turns into an ugly monster."
Chen Bi Yun felt a lot more comfortable. She came forward with a smile and affectionately held Chen Ning's hand.
"Why is elder sister so late? Little sister has been waiting for elder sister for a long time."
Her hands were painted with bright red nail polish, making her hands look as white as snow.
Chen Ning looked down and her eyes fell on the nail polish on her nails. She looked up at her and revealed a smile as she said, "Every time I see little sister, it's always so fragrant and today it's even more fragrant. Little sister has such a fragrant smell, why aren't you thinking of elder sister?"
Chen Bi Yun revealed a gentle smile, "Elder sister has wronged Yun 'er. How could little sister forget about elder sister when she has something good?"
She turned to Miss Chen and said, "Why aren't you bringing out the gift I prepared for elder sister."
Miss Chen held a brocade box and respectfully presented it to Chen Ning with both hands, "Princess Consort, this is the honey perfume that the second miss has prepared for you. It was given to the second miss by his highness and the second miss was not willing to use it, so she specially kept it for the Princess Consort."
Chen Ning smiled as she received it, "Mother Chen's mouth is becoming sweeter."
She opened the brocade box and saw a palm sized glass bottle inside. The fragrance inside was a honey yellow colour and a sweet fragrance wafted into her nose.
In this era, glass was more expensive than gold. This glass bottle was worth quite a bit, so it could be imagined that the fragrance it contained must be incomparably precious.
Chen Ning knew how precious this thing was. She knew that Chen Bi Yun was really willing to pay a heavy price for it.
She smiled as she picked up the bottle and played with it in her hand, "I really like this honey perfume. Thank you little sister for your kind intentions, but elder sister came in a hurry and forgot to prepare a gift for little sister. I hope little sister won't blame me."
"How could little sister blame elder sister? The wind is strong by the lake. Elder sister, let's talk on the boat."
Chen Ning noticed that Chen Bi Yun and Miss Chen were secretly exchanging glances with each other. There was a look of pride in their eyes.
She pretended she didn't see it. She smiled as she stepped onto the plank and walked onto the boat.
"Why didn't elder sister bring anyone to serve you? Did Xiao Ru not come with you?" Chen Bi Yun looked behind Chen Ning and asked in a concerned voice.
"Xiao Ru caught a cold and I was afraid that the wind would worsen her illness, so I had her stay in the room. Little sister must have a lot of servants by your side. What, did little sister only bring Mother Chen?" Chen Ning's eyes swept over the boat. "Little sister, I'm not sure.
"Us sisters are talking, so why do we have to let unrelated people stand on the side? We'll just have them wait on the shore. Nanny is enough to take care of them." Chen Bi Yun pursed her lips into a smile.
The boat was transparent on all sides and when the curtains were pulled up, a gentle breeze blew across the lake, blowing up the willows on the shore. The surrounding scenery was unobstructed.
Miss Chen was at the back of the boat and there was only Chen Ning and Chen Bi Yun on the boat.
