Song Que stood up with Qin Xiaoyao and sat there for a long time before he managed to suppress the passionate heat in his heart.
Then, he pulled Qin Xiaoyao’s hand and returned to the dressing table.
“I’ll help you draw your eyebrows,” he said.
Qin Xiaoyao had already taken a few glances at her husband. She found his pretentious but solemn expression very interesting.
“Alright,” she answered happily.
Then, she sat down obediently and allowed Song Que to serve her.
Song Que took the eyebrow pencil and was about to start, but he suddenly frowned.
Then, he walked out abruptly.
Qin Xiaoyao was about to call out to Song Que, but she stopped when she saw that he was not going out of the room.
Before long, she saw Song Que return.
He was holding two thin threads in his hands.
Just as she was about to ask him what he was doing, Song Que spoke first.
“Your eyebrows need to be trimmed.”
Immediately after that, Song Que stepped forward.
Then, he started to trim Qin Xiaoyao’s eyebrows with the two threads.
Her messy eyebrows were caught by the thin thread and then pulled out. The stinging pain made Qin Xiaoyao grimace from time to time.
“Bear with it. Your eyebrows need to be trimmed,” Song Que said when he saw her reaction.
Due to his gentle voice, Qin Xiaoyao’s brows no longer knitted together. Instead, she began to enjoy it.
Her large eyes were staring straight at Song Que, whose face was almost touching hers.
Her stare made Song Que’s breathing unstable.
Song Que could only force himself to calm down and focus on trimming Qin Xiaoyao’s brows.
This wife of his was actually leading a life that was rougher than a man’s life like his.
One look at her eyebrows and he could tell that she had never trimmed them.
However, his wife’s skin was really good. Even when he looked at it up close, it was still so fair and milky, with very little fine hair.
After a while, Song Que finally managed to finish trimming Qin Xiaoyao’s eyebrows.
Her somewhat thick eyebrows had become slimmer and more attractive after the trimming, making Qin Xiaoyao’s facial features appear even more beautiful.
Song Que was very satisfied and he asked Qin Xiaoyao to take a look at herself in the mirror.
Qin Xiaoyao was pleasantly surprised when she saw the woman in the mirror.
She touched her slightly stinging eyebrows and felt that staying beautiful was indeed quite a burden.
However, with her husband helping her with the process, she was not afraid of this bit of pain.
“Not bad!” The woman said with a smile, feeling very pleased.
“I’ll draw your eyebrows now,” Song Que continued. He was very willing to serve his wife.
Qin Xiaoyao immediately raised her head obligingly for Song Que.
The corners of Song Que’s lips curled up as he picked up the eyebrow pencil and began to draw Qin Xiaoyao’s eyebrows.
His actions were soft and gentle, and his expression was very earnest.
Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes were wide open as she continued to stare at Song Que.
A feeling of peace and quiet overwhelmed her.
Song Que was already used to being stared at by Qin Xiaoyao, so he didn’t feel nervous now. Instead, he found it intriguing.
He also enjoyed this kind of bedroom intimacy with his wife.
After a while, the eyebrows were finally drawn.
“Alright. Take a look.” Song Que was in a good mood as he spoke to Qin Xiaoyao.
Only then did Qin Xiaoyao look away from Song Que’s face and look into the bronze mirror again.
The woman in the bronze mirror had long and slender eyebrows. Her heroic demeanor had been reduced by a lot, and she was more alluring.
“Your skill is not bad!” Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t resist rubbing her brows as she spoke.
Song Que hurriedly reached out to stop her.
“Just leave it like this. Don’t rub it off,” he said.
Only then did Qin Xiaoyao put down her hand.
“In the future, please help me draw my eyebrows, Hubby!” she said to Song Que.
“Mm-hmm!” Song Que answered.
They still had a long life ahead of them. He was happy to do so…
When Qin Xiaoyao was almost done dressing up, she stood up to help Song Que.
Song Que didn’t stop her and enjoyed Qin Xiaoyao’s service.
By the time the two of them finished dressing up and left the room, it was already late.
They had just reached the courtyard and were about to take a walk when they heard knocking on the door.
The couple was not far from the courtyard gate, so they both went to the entrance.
True enough, the Second Prince had arrived.
When the Second Prince saw Qin Xiaoyao and Song Que again, he was shocked.
It was primarily because the two of them were dressed very differently from the time when they first met.
This was particularly true for Qin Xiaoyao.
Previously, she was dressed as a man and she did not bother with details in her actions. If she had not revealed her female identity, he would not have realized she was a woman.
However, today, she had changed into woman’s clothes and even tied her hair into a woman’s bun.
She was now every inch a pretty woman.
When she smiled, she seemed to emanate a certain radiance, making him feel a little dazzled.
And then there was Song Que.
Previously, the Second Prince had only taken a quick glance and felt that the other party was good-looking.
When he met him again today, he realized that not only was he good-looking, but his bearing was also very out of this world.
Even when compared to the scions of the wealthy families in the capital, he could only be considered superior and not inferior to them.
Previously, he had thought that the two of them were not really a good match.
However, now, he couldn’t help but sigh. They were indeed a perfect couple.
“Greetings, Your Highness!” The couple stepped forward and bowed to the Second Prince.
The Second Prince raised his hand. “No need to be so polite.
“I came here today to look for friends for a small chat. Keep everything simple.”
Qin Xiaoyao and Song Que exchanged looks with each other.
“Yes, Your Highness!” they replied respectfully.
Looking for friends?
They had only met once the last time, and he already treated them as friends?
However, it didn’t matter. They were the ones receiving all the benefits anyway.
“Your Highness, please come in.” Song Que quickly said.
He stepped forward and led the way.
“Mm-hmm.” The Second Prince glanced at Song Que and followed.
The whole group walked into the courtyard.
While they were walking, the Second Prince looked around the Song family’s courtyard at the same time.
He was very curious when he saw the many thatched sheds that were built in the courtyard.
“Why did you build so many sheds in your house?” he asked.
Song Que didn’t answer. Instead, he looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao finally spoke.
“Oh, these sheds are used to grow bean sprouts. It can be considered a family business.”
“Bean sprouts?” The Second Prince’s eyes flashed with interest.
“Mm-hmm. It’s the tender shoots from the bean seeds.
“After the bean seed is soaked and watered with the right amount of water, it can sprout and grow quickly.
“The tender shoots that emerged are white and crunchy. The taste is not bad when they are stir-fried or used to make soup,” Qin Xiaoyao explained.
The look of interest in the Second Prince’s eyes grew stronger.
“You’ve grown bean sprouts in all of your sheds?” This was the first time he had seen someone grow vegetables in the shed. Was the principle the same as a greenhouse?
If it was the same logic, it would have cost a lot of firewood to maintain so many greenhouses.
Qin Xiaoyao gave a laugh. “Not all of them.
“Your Highness, to tell the truth, ever since the mountain bandits entered the town, our family has stopped doing this business.
“It was only a few days ago when you led the Imperial Court’s army to take back Mountain Spring Town that we started planting again.
“But I didn’t dare to plant too much. We’ll have to see how good the sales are before slowly increasing the amount we plant.”
Then, as if she thought of something, Qin Xiaoyao said, “Today, the first batch of bean sprouts is ready for harvesting.
“If Your Highness is interested, please feel free to follow me in to take a look.”
Now that resources in Mountain Spring Town were in short supply, she could sell her bean sprouts to anyone.
The Second Prince had many soldiers under his command, and if that didn’t work, there were still many people at the government office who needed to eat.
This guy was potentially a big customer..
