Reminiscence of the Peach Blossoms

Chapter 5 · Soap ·

In the end, Yuanyi asked the maids to collect peach blossoms petals as much as they can. Before this, she had learn how to make an aroma soap from her teacher when she studying chemistry at school.

"Bring some salt, water and oil." Yuanyi told them as she thought carefully.

"I need to make salt into lye. It will take a long time." She frowned.

"I shouldn't promise him a soap. Better a punch." She snorted.

"Go blend and scatter it into ash. Left a bit of petals for decorations." She said as the maid nodded and walked out.

"Bring the veil and silk for me." She said as other maid walked out to find the silk for her.

"Hmm...what about wine?" She pouted.

She heard about plum wine in historical drama. Is it true? If true then she should put in the soap as experiment. People usually put milk to make skin soft like a baby's skin. She also learn that peach blossom can improve cellular health, aid in skin care and blood clotting.

That brat got scars not just his chest, but his whole body. I'm helping you improve your skin even thought you're already in sex appeal on himself. She bet that many girls wants to be in bed with him.

In a year after their marriage, she will ask that man to take any concubine so she can live peacefully. "You-ah Yuxin, such a genius." She praised herself.

"Wangfei, this is veil and silk you asked for." The maid come and handed to her. "Good." She smiled.

"Put all the ingredients inside and go wait outside. I will call you if I want something." She said as the maids couldn't obey her words even though the King doesn't allow them to leave WangFei alone but still wangfei ranked higher than them.

She quickly put the veil cover her eyes as she making silk into a mask so that she can cover her mouth. Making a soap is quite dangerous if using lye or should I say sodium hydroxide.

She quickly mixed the lye, oil and water then put the petals that maids already blend to change the color as she take a plum wine and mixed with it.

"The smell turn out well." She smiled proudly on her work. "That man should proud to have this kind of wife on his side." She flipped her hair and molded the mixture into a shape of lotus.

The soap need to dried up for a few days before the shape turn out well. So she left it and doesn't allow the maids come inside for a few days.

.

"Where the soap for this husband?" He smirked as I feel like he murdered someone. "You think make a soap is just like drink a tea? Of course you need to wait for awhile." I snorted and turned head around.

"Wife, don't be mad." He smiled and put me on his lap. "What are you doing?" I blushed as he smiled charmingly. "This husband just wanted to see you. Seeing your adorable side this husband feel really happy." He kissed my forehead as red overbearing my face.

Really embarrassing eh?!

Sudden knocked on the door makes me shocked as I want to push him away but this man holding my waist tightly. "Come in." He grinned as I blushed madly and hide my face on his neck.

"Greetings Wangye." He cupped his fist as he bowed. "En." He nodded.

"The south going to war. The barbarian is getting more rebellious and they want to declared a war with us. The Emperor just send a imperial edict to you to lead the troops fight with the barbarian." The co-general informed.

"So you are going to join the war?" I asked as he smirked.

Damn why I feel that I said something wrong?

"Don't worry. This husband will back safely with victory in my hands." He put his forehead on mine. "Who said I'm worried?!" I blushed.

"Wife, don't be shy. This husband knows what's in your heart." He smiled charmingly that can makes my eyes blind.

You really know my heart huh? I sighed.

"Just go and be safe. I don't have mood to play with you." I waved my hand as I walked to the bed and lay before relaxing my feet. Today, make the soap really need to stand a lot, this woman really tired.

"Xiao Li, come and massage my legs." I turned around had my back on the air as I am waiting for Xiao Li. Suddenly, I feel a pair of  hands massaging my legs.

"Ah, Xiao Li. Your hands are surely strong." I smiled as closed my eyes, relaxing my body and all of the tiredness are gone. After awhile... Wait.. Why Xiao Li's hands kinda big? I turned around and see that damned prince who called as my husband.

"You!! What do you do with my feet!!!" I pulled quickly and hugged my knees. "This husband just wanted massage his wife's legs. You feel tired after making soap for this husband. Come, let me continue." He grinned playfully. "No need to!!!" I turned around and take a blanket wrapped around my body.

He chuckled before he patted my head. "Sleep well. This husband have things to do." He said before I heard footsteps slowly faded away.
