Chapter 336: Going all in

It had to be said, Chen Bi Yun had spent quite a bit of effort on today’s sightseeing trip .  She had prepared some beautiful pleasure boats with fragrant tea, fresh fruit, and everything else on it .

Standing on the shore of the lake, she was smiling as she watched Chen Ning slowly approach .  When she saw that Chen Ning had a beautiful clear face without any makeup on, her smile froze on her face and she couldn’t help clenching her fist in her sleeve .

Miss Chen standing on her side noticed her strange behaviour and quietly said, “Second miss, you can’t reveal any flaws .  No matter how beautiful this cheap woman is, before long, she will turn into an ugly monster . ”

Chen Bi Yun felt comforted by this .  With a smile, she affectionately grabbed Chen Ning’s hands .

“Why is elder sister so late?  Little sister has been waiting for a long time for elder sister . ”

She had a red nail polish on that lined her snow white hands .

Chen Ning looked down and her eyes fell onto the nail polish on her fingers .  She looked up with a smile and said, “Every time I come see little sister, you are always so fragrant .  You’re even more fragrant today .  If little sister has such a good perfume, why do you not think of elder sister?”

Chen Bi Yun revealed a gentle smile, “Elder sister is misunderstanding Yun’er .  If little sister has such a good thing, how can I not share with elder sister?”

She turned to Miss Chen and said, “Why haven’t you brought out the gift for elder sister yet?”

Miss Chen took out a brocaded box and respectfully handed it to Chen Ning, “Princess Consort, this is a honey based perfume that the second miss wants to give you .  It was given to second miss by his highness and the second miss could not bare using it, keeping it to give to the Princess Consort . ”

Chen Ning accepted it with a smile, “Mother Chen’s mouth is becoming even sweeter . ”

She opened the box and found a palm sized bottle inside .  There was yellow perfume inside the bottom with a sweet smell floating into her nose .

In this era, glass was worth even more than gold .  This glass bottle was worth very much and it could be imagined just how precious it was after it was used to carry perfume .

Chen Ning knew how precious this was and she understood that Chen Bi Yun was willing to go all in .

She smiled as she picked up the bottle and played with it in her hands, “I really like this honey perfume .  Many thanks for little sister’s considerations, only elder sister came in a hurry, forgetting to prepare a gift for little sister .  I hope little sister won’t blame me . ”

“How could little sister blame elder sister .  There is a lot of wind here, elder sister, let’s talk on the boat . ”

Chen Ning noticed a secret look between Chen Bi Yun and Miss Chen, one that was filled with pride .

She pretended not to notice as she walked up the plank and onto the boat with a smile .

“Did elder sister not bring any servants along?  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 the wind would make it worse, so I let her stay at home .  Little sister must have plenty of servants by your side, so why did you only bring Mother Chen?”  Chen Ning looked over at the boats .

“Since we sisters are talking, how could we allow outsiders be present .  I ordered them all to stay on the shore, just having Nanny serve us is enough . ”  Chen Bi Yun pursed her lips into a smile .

The boat was surrounded by transparent rolled up veils on all four sides .  As the wind blew on the lake, the leaves of the trees were blown up, giving them a clear view of the lake .

Miss Chen was standing at the stern, leaving only Chen Ning and Chen Bi Yun in the boat .

Although there was tea and desserts, Chen Bi Yun was completely absentminded .  She kept turning her head to look at the sides of the boat .
