Chapter 97: He Wants to Forge a Peaceful and Prosperous Age

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Wei offered a polite smile.

"Your cosmetics are not suitable for a poor student like me; I don't need them, thank you."

After saying this, she brushed past the two of them.

The two sales assistants were filled with regret.

Bai Wei's single day of purchases exceeded the counter's monthly turnover!

All the other sales assistants in the mall had exceeded their targets and would receive high commissions at the end of the month, but only these two were left in the cold, and they would be mocked by the other assistants.

The store manager arrived, looking extremely displeased.

The manager already knew about Bai Wei sweeping through the mall and began to reprimand the two sales assistants in public.

The two were unable to lift their heads from the scolding, filled with both regret and anger.

They were angry at themselves for being so short-sighted and letting a big fish like Bai Wei get away.

Clatter!

A large pile of items poured out from the wardrobe again.

Countless beautiful bottles and jars left Consort Yun and the others stunned.

Lai Mama picked up a perfume bottle and fiddled with it out of curiosity; she accidentally pressed the nozzle, and a scent of Huangjulan immediately wafted out.

Exclamations of surprise erupted all around.

"So fragrant!"

"This scent, it smells so good."

Even Xiao Dabao was sniffing the air incessantly, drawn by the fragrance.

Caiyun took out a bottle of Dior perfume and sprayed it into the air.

Suddenly!

The fragrance drifted out once more.

This scent was like a flower yet not quite, but it smelled even better than real flowers.

"So fragrant," Caiyun cried out in pleasant surprise, "This scent completely beats De Guifei; De Guifei could never blend something like this."

"I never expected Bai to be such a master of perfumery." Consort Yun was also both surprised and delighted, feeling extremely shocked, "The perfume she blended is even more fragrant and rich than De Guifei's."

At this moment, another item appeared in the wardrobe.

"Xiao Moting, this is called a Tablet Computer. I've put many makeup tutorial videos inside; hurry and take it for Xiao Mama to see."

Xiao Moting picked up the Tablet Computer and began to fiddle with it according to the instructions Bai Wei had written down.

Very quickly, he opened the Tablet Computer.

A video popped up on the screen.

It was a makeup tutorial filmed by a beauty blogger, teaching the "Classical Plum Blossom Makeup."

Immediately, the crowd around them gasped in surprise.

Xiao Dabao, Qin Zhan, and the others had already seen the Projector that Bai Wei had sent, so they accepted it quickly.

But Consort Yun and Lai Mama were thoroughly frightened.

"Ting'er, this... is there a ghost inside this?"

Xiao Moting explained immediately, "Mother Consort, there is no real person inside; this is an image recorded by Bai..."

After he explained for a long time, Consort Yun and the others finally managed to accept it.

Consort Yun patted her chest, still shaken, "Bai's immortal arts are truly miraculous."

On the video, the beauty blogger had already finished the makeup look.

Watching the previously plain-looking beauty blogger transform in the blink of an eye into a charming, peerless classical beauty through makeup techniques, Consort Yun watched with her mouth agape, her face full of shock.

There were many beauty videos on the Tablet Computer.

The Huadian Zhuang of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Ti Zhuang of the Han Dynasty, the wine-flush makeup of the Tang Dynasty, plum blossom makeup, the pearl makeup of the Song Dynasty, falling plum...

There were also hair-styling tutorial videos: double-spiral buns, spirit-snake buns, Lingyun buns, falling-horse buns, flying-fairy buns... as well as modernized ancient-style hair buns by contemporary bloggers...

Consort Yun and the others were completely dumbfounded.

Lai Mama was the most excited, "Your Highness, hurry and follow the tutorial Bai sent to try out the makeup."

"Your Highness, if you learn these makeup tutorials, who in the palace could compare to you?" Caiyun said excitedly, "This servant will learn how to style your hair right now."

Saying this, the two of them pushed Consort Yun into the palace hall.

Xiao Moting did not understand makeup, so he walked over to the wardrobe.

"Shennü Daren, you have sent so many things over; I don't even know how to thank you."

"Xiao Moting, are you being polite with me now? If you want to thank me, just keep sending me things in the future!"

"No problem."

Xiao Moting hesitated for a moment, then gathered his courage.

"Will you come again next time? If you do, when will it be?"

When Bai came to Daliang, he had missed her.

Xiao Moting had always felt deep regret in his heart.

If only he could have been a little earlier, he could have truly met the Goddess he thought of day and night!

He wanted to see Bai.

"As for that, I don't know when the next time will be."

"But if there is a chance, I will definitely come to Daliang to see you, and the Northern Frontier Army."

Xiao Moting let out a sigh of relief; he had been afraid that Bai would not come again.

"Alright, it's a deal. I will wait for you in Daliang."

"No matter when, no matter how long, I will definitely wait for you to come."

Xiao Dabao and Qin Zhan leaned in.

Both of them also wanted to see the Goddess, but they could not see the words on the Wardrobe; only Xiao Moting could see them, and they were so anxious they kept scratching their heads.

"Prince, what did Shennü Daren say?"

"She said that if there is an opportunity, she will come to Daliang to see you all."

"Really?" Xiao Dabao was instantly excited, "When the time comes, I will take Shennü Daren to tour the Beijiang Xueyuan and taste the mare's milk wine of Beijiang!"

Qin Zhan asked, "Prince, what does Shennü Daren look like?"

Xiao Moting's sword-like brows knit together.

To tell the truth, he had never truly seen Bai Wei.

The archery video Bai Wei sent last time only showed a petite and slender back.

However, no matter what Bai Wei was like, in his heart, she would always be the most perfect.

Xiao Moting urgently wanted to see Bai Wei and wanted her to come to Daliang, yet he also did not want her to come.

Because the current state of the world was very unstable.

There were snowstorms, droughts, roving bandits, as well as highwaymen and thieves...

The world was too chaotic; there were enemy armies outside and treacherous officials in power inside.

Moreover, there was still Xiao Rui in Daliang who wanted Bai Wei's life!

If Bai Wei came now, it would be very dangerous.

Xiao Moting raised his head and looked at the night sky in the distance.

He wanted to lead his troops to conquer the world, to forge a peaceful and prosperous era, and to eliminate all hidden dangers.

So that the common people could live and work in peace, and the country could be prosperous and peaceful.

Only then, after Bai Wei came to Daliang, would she be safe.

And only then could he rest easy while taking her to tour all the mountains and rivers of Daliang.

Seeing Xiao Moting staring into the distance in a daze, Qin Zhan asked.

"Prince, what are you looking at?"

Xiao Moting withdrew his gaze, his sword-like brows slightly raised.

"I want to end this chaotic world and bring peace to the land. That way, when the Goddess comes to Daliang, there will be no danger."

The two of them instantly turned solemn.

"Prince, we will join you in ending this chaotic world!"

At this moment, Xiao Moting saw another message on the Wardrobe.

"Xiao Moting, you are about to return to Beijiang, right?"

"I am going to order seeds and farm tools now. Once you return, we will start reclaiming wasteland to grow crops."

Xiao Moting hesitated slightly.

"Shennü Daren, I have already gathered over ten thousand farmers from Yannan, preparing to have them reclaim land and farm after the start of spring."

"But the climate in Beijiang is harsh and the soil is barren; I fear the yield of the grain grown will not be high."

"Xiao Moting, leave the matter of growing crops to me! With me here, I will definitely ensure your Beijiang has a bumper harvest, with granaries full and everyone having more than enough to eat!"

Xiao Moting was moved.

Qin Zhan and Xiao Dabao were also extremely touched.

The Goddess not only helped them win battles but also cared for the world and wanted to make Beijiang prosperous.

Xiao Dabao suddenly interjected, "If Shennü Daren spends all her energy on the Northern Frontier Army and the people, will it affect her personal affairs?"

"Personal affairs?" Xiao Moting's brows knit together.

Xiao Dabao chuckled, "You know... matters of the heart."

Qin Zhan scolded, "Are you stupid? Bai is a Goddess; how could she be the same as a mortal?"

The two were joking, but Xiao Moting's heart suddenly trembled.

That was right.

He had been in contact with Bai Wei for so long, yet he had never asked about her personal affairs.

Bai Wei was so outstanding; in her world, the suitors must have worn down the threshold of the Bai Family.

She must have been betrothed long ago.

Perhaps, she was already married with children...
