Chapter 13

"If the Princess doesn't believe it, then forget it!"

Su Xuan did not explain too much.

Princess Honglian wanted to say something but stopped, originally wanting to say more, but upon hearing Su Xuan’s words, she ultimately chose to close her mouth.

She continued to look at the layout of Su Xuan’s place.

This was a palace room that had been converted from an uninhabited one in the Wang Gong.

Originally, outsiders like Su Xuan were not qualified to live in the Wang Gong; even the adult royal descendants would be moved out of the Wang Gong once they reached a certain age and establish their own mansions in Xinzheng.

But Su Xuan’s ability to summon wind and rain, which he displayed in front of the King of Han, was simply too shocking.

That seven-day heavy rain directly resolved a drought that had not been seen in Han Guo for decades, subsequently saving countless thousands of Han Guo’s people, and indirectly affecting Han Guo’s national strength.

At the very least, if this year’s drought had not been resolved and there had been no harvest during the autumn harvest, whether the Han Guo army’s food and fodder would be sufficient for the coming year would have been a huge problem.

To show his regard for Su Xuan and to keep such a master by his side, the King of Han directly let Su Xuan live in the palace; nothing was more reassuring than having the other party under his own nose.

"Speaking of which, you are always refining elixirs here, aren't you bored?"

Princess Honglian asked Su Xuan.

This question was actually something she thought of on the spot, mainly because Su Xuan didn't seem to want to explain much about the previous topic.

If it were an ordinary person, Princess Honglian would definitely have asked to the end.

But with Su Xuan, although she had broken in here rashly, she still had some reservations after all.

"Bored?" Su Xuan shook his head: "For me, refining elixirs is not for fun, but a form of cultivation!"

"How could cultivation be boring!"

"Does cultivation refer to summoning wind and rain?" Princess Honglian’s eyes lit up.

Su Xuan said: "Summoning wind and rain is a capability mastered after cultivation; true cultivation covers all aspects and many areas."

"For example, elixirs!"

He said this while casually beckoning, and a bottle of elixirs fell into his hand.

"If the Princess is interested, you can try this."

He handed this bottle of elixirs to Princess Honglian.

Princess Honglian took it, looked at the medicine bottle in her hand with some curiosity, and then opened it; a clear fragrance immediately entered her nose: "So fragrant!"

"This elixir is called the Fragrance-Condensing Pill. If judged by its medicinal effect, it has no special medicinal effect and is a waste pill. However, it can be treated as a spice; it can release a unique exotic fragrance, which can refresh the mind when smelled. If taken for a long time, this exotic fragrance will even transfer to your body!"

"Fragrance-Condensing Pill?" Princess Honglian’s eyes lit up: "This thing is interesting!"

For Princess Honglian, rouge, powder, and beautiful clothes were just so-so.

As the King of Han’s most beloved little princess, she had as much of these things as she wanted. Sometimes, she would change her style from time to time, but after a long time, she didn't have much interest in things like rouge and powder.

In the end, there were just too few varieties.

It was always the same few types back and forth.

The "Fragrance-Condensing Pill" that Su Xuan gave her at this moment made her feel some interest.

"Since you gave this to me, then this Princess will accept it for now!" Princess Princess Honglian said with an attitude of taking it for granted.

Even though Su Xuan did not say the word "give."

Su Xuan smiled and said nothing.

Princess Honglian wanted to find some topics to talk to Su Xuan about; the Wang Gong was lonely and cold, and her father was busy with government affairs and didn't have much time to accompany her. Her brothers either had an average relationship with her or were away studying and hadn't returned.

She usually found it hard to find someone to talk to.

Those maids and attendants all had a respectful attitude when they saw her, which was just too boring.

Su Xuan’s appearance not only made Princess Honglian interested but also gave her someone to talk to and a place to pass the time.

Unfortunately, good times didn't last long.

A serious voice suddenly sounded at the door: "Princess Honglian!"

Hearing this voice, Princess Honglian’s body stiffened, and then she slowly turned her head to see her father’s serious face.

"Father, why are you here?" She pretended not to know what had happened and asked the King of Han.

"You should ask yourself that." The King of Han’s voice was cold: "If the guards hadn't come to report, I really wouldn't have known that you had broken in here without permission."

Lady Mingzhu came here by using her exquisite martial arts to bypass many guards.

Princess Princess Honglian clearly did not have such profound martial arts; she was able to come here purely by using her noble status to force her way in.

The guards dared not make things difficult for Princess Princess Honglian, but the King had previously issued a ban prohibiting ordinary people from disturbing Mr. Su.

Therefore, after they were caught in a dilemma, they could only report this matter to the King of Han.

Since Su Xuan handed that bottle of elixirs to the King of Han a few days ago, after returning and finding someone to confirm that the elixirs were fine, the King of Han tried taking them. It was fine not to take them, but once he did, he found that this elixir was really... too good to use.

After taking it, he felt energetic, and at the same time, his waist didn't ache and his legs didn't hurt. The whole person seemed to be ten or twenty years younger, extremely energetic. That night, he went to find someone to have a go, and that feeling was unprecedentedly refreshing.

Afterward, savoring that feeling, he couldn't help but sigh that a master is a master, and the elixirs refined were much more brilliant than those refined by ordinary people.

He originally wanted to go directly to Su Xuan to get closer to him.

But after thinking about it, he gave up for the time being.

As long as Mr. Su was still refining elixirs and cultivating in the palace, he would have plenty of opportunities to visit this Mr. Su.

If he seemed too anxious and disturbed him repeatedly, it might instead cause Mr. Su’s dissatisfaction.

Another main reason was that the bottle of elixirs Su Xuan gave him had not been used up yet.

However, upon learning that Princess Honglian had rashly broken into Su Xuan’s place, the King of Han still immediately abandoned the beauty he was accompanying and hurried to Su Xuan’s place.
