Guan Zhiyue sat down in the room and had Xiao Tuantuan lead the brides-to-be to the adjacent bathroom.

The six large wooden barrels inside were already filled with the refreshing spring water.

However, the color was yellowish-brown, and there were medicine packets floating on top of them.

Although Cheng Huiling had lived in Medicine King Valley since childhood, she still couldn't tell what kind of medicine it was.

"This is?"

"This is the medicinal bath that the Empress prepared for all the ladies. You can soak yourselves to remove the impurities," Xiao Tuantuan explained.

He Jiao and the others looked at each other, unable to believe it.

But having come all this way, she still carefully and shyly took off her clothes.

"Princess Consort, aren't you going to take a bath?" Li Qian asked, looking at the six bathtubs and the fact that there were seven of them.

Xiao Tuantuan said with a smile, "I'll just take a shower over there. I've tried this medicinal bath before, so I'm just giving everyone a heads-up."

"If you soak in this medicinal bath, a lot of impurities will come out of your body, and it will smell terrible. You should experience it for yourselves first!" After saying this, she ran off in a flash.

The speed with which he moved was astonishing to all six people present. They looked at each other, then at the medicinal bath tub that was emitting wisps of steam.

They all looked incredulous, but still carefully took off their clothes and stepped into the medicinal bath tub.

The water in the bathtub was at a comfortable temperature; it looked steaming, but it wasn't actually very hot.

And it's very comfortable; the temperature feels just right on my skin.

Guan Zhiyue remained seated in the room to the side, watching as Xiao Tuantuan, who seemed to be on the verge of a fire, rushed over from outside.

Why are you in such a hurry?

"They went to take a bath, so I have to hurry; the medicine will take effect soon."

The whole yard smelled awful. Little Tuantuan pouted, looking disgusted.

Looking at Guan Zhiyue, I saw that she was still calmly drinking water.

Guan Zhiyue picked up the pastries on the table; they had just been delivered by the imperial kitchen and were said to be newly developed.

"What is this? It smells pretty good!"

Guan Zhiyue swallowed a bite of pastry and softly replied, "Date paste rose cake."

Little Tuantuan didn't stand on ceremony at all, and directly reached out and picked up a piece.

He opened his mouth and stuffed it in, his cheeks bulging, and nodded as he chewed, saying, "Mmm, truly deserving of the name!"

"I can definitely taste the flavors of red dates and roses."

"Which imperial chef made this? It's quite novel."

Guan Zhiyue shook her head and said only, "I heard it's a new study, but I don't know the specifics."

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the backyard of the Cold Palace was filled with a foul stench.

It has that sour, pungent smell, with a hint of fecal stench.

Anyone who smells it will immediately gag, and vomit violently.

However, the six people inside the bathtub also blushed with embarrassment.

Her cheeks, already flushed from being soaked in hot water, became even redder, a result of her embarrassment.

"Ugh, I knew it! This smell is awful!"

Little Tuantuan pinched her nose, raised her hand to fan herself with obvious disgust.

I tried to dispel the smell of clouds lingering in my nostrils.

Guan Zhiyue frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. After all, this was her own doing; she had dug her own hole, and she had to jump in even if she had to kneel down.

"Bitao, tell Bilian to take the princess and prince out to play. Don't bring them back to the palace until the stench is gone," Guan Zhiyue instructed Bitao at the door.

After bowing, Bitao pouted and ran off, turning the entire Cold Palace into a 'stinky palace' in an instant.

He Jiao and the others were in the bathtub, looking at the greasy, black, and smelly stuff on their bodies.

I'm still expelling waste, and I feel like banging my head against the wall. Is my body really that dirty?

I instantly felt disgusted with myself and wanted to dig a hole in the ground and never face the world again.

The one with the worst body odor and the most excreted impurities was none other than Wu Linlin, the eldest daughter of the Wu family.

That means she's Guan Zhiyue's sister-in-law, considering she's been taking medication for years.

Naturally, various drug residues accumulate in the body.

The birth disease she carried also gradually lessened as the filth flowed out.

"Although it smells terrible, I have to say, I feel much more relaxed."

He Jiao raised her arm, looked herself up and down, and then moved her body, as if she had become a little more agile.

After hearing this once, everyone else felt it was acceptable and simply endured the stench.

He remained calm and composed in the bathtub, soaking for about fifteen minutes before finally emerging, somewhat reluctant to leave.

Their nasal passages had become accustomed to the stench, so all six of them had become accustomed to it.

Emerging from the bathtub, they all gave similar smiles; now everyone had a scandal, and no one could say anything about anyone else.

As soon as the group climbed out of the bathtub, a maidservant whispered at the door, "Ladies, Her Majesty has instructed that you please put on the bathrobes beside you."

Follow me to the shower room next door and take a shower.

The group noticed the uniform white towel-shaped bathrobes placed to the side.

After putting them on, their calves were still sticking out, and they were all a little embarrassed. How were they going to go out like this?

But then I thought about how I still smelled terrible, so wearing my clothes was out of the question.

And having heard that the shower room was next door, she mustered her courage and walked out with her arms crossed over her chest.

As soon as they stepped outside, they saw a young maidservant respectfully waiting for them at the door.

They relaxed and followed the maid across a doorway to a huge shower room containing things they had never seen before.

The room was large, but each section was divided by a wooden door, and each cell door was covered by a piece of cloth.

"What is this?" Fan Qingqing asked, looking at the unusual room. The others were also focused on hearing the explanation.

"In the shower room, the left side has hot water, the right side has cold water, and the middle has a comfortable temperature."

As the maid spoke, she demonstrated how to build the shower room. She explained that when Her Majesty the Empress initially constructed it...

They were still completely bewildered, but later they found out that this was where they took a bath.

Since they got this, taking a bath has become so much more convenient for them!

The six of them looked as if they had discovered a new continent, their eyes revealing a hint of surprise.

Then, he couldn't wait to take off his bathrobe and, following the palace maid's instructions, began to operate it himself.

At first, I didn't know how to adjust it, and I would either cry out from the cold or cry out from the heat.

"Wow, this feels so good!" He Jiao let out a long sigh and started washing and scrubbing, cleaning the dirt off her body and hair!

Seeing this, the others followed suit, imitating He Jiao and starting to scrub and wash. They didn't realize how much they hadn't experienced it until they tried!

They were shocked when they washed their clothes; they instantly felt as if their skin had become several shades lighter.

Moreover, it's a pure, natural white, not a deathly white.

For a moment, the shower room was filled with cheerful laughter and chatter...
