Xue Rong suddenly thought of something and ordered the maid, "Bring me the dragon beard blood swallow that I often use."
She turned to look at Yu Jiao and said, "The strange fragrance on my body is my body fragrance, not the result of using any spices or perfume pills." Xue Rong was somewhat pleased when she said this. Emperor Mingzheng loved her unique body fragrance the most. Many women in the palace secretly tried to use perfume on their bodies, but how could the fragrance of those scents be as natural as her body fragrance? They were all inferior means of winning favor.
Yu Jiao frowned slightly. The so-called body fragrance is nothing more than a hormone that everyone can secrete, forming their own unique physiological odor, which can also be called hormones. This individual physiological odor is accompanied by the perfection of the second characteristic and gradually appears after puberty matures. Only when the opposite sex has deep contact can they smell this unique odor.
The charming fragrance on Xue Rong's body couldn't be body odor.
Yu Jiao asked, "Have you had this 'body fragrance' since birth? Or did it appear later? Please tell me the truth, Majesty."
Xue Rong's smug expression faded slightly. "It's not something that she has since birth. It would be too strange for a girl to have such a charming body fragrance. The body fragrance on my body should have gradually spread after I was over 20 years old."
At this time, the maid brought in the dragon-whisker blood swallow and handed it to Yu Jiao. Yu Jiao lowered her head to examine the blood swallow. She heard Xue Rong's voice become more lonely and said, "It was also that year that I lost the child in my belly."
Xue Rong tightened her hands on the armrest slightly, with a hint of hatred in her eyes.
After hearing what she said, Yu Jiao was certain that there was something strange about the fragrance on Xue Rong's body, but she herself was unaware of it and mistook it for body odor.
She used a spoon to stir the dragon beard blood swallow in the bowl, then took out a handkerchief and picked out a dark purple knotty grass from the blood swallow. Holding the handkerchief, Yu Jiao asked, "Madam, besides ginseng beard and swiftlet nest, what else is there in this blood swallow?"
"And the one you picked out is the Zijicao, there is nothing else." For Yu Xuerong, offspring is the top priority, and she tells Yu Jiao everything she knows.
"Zijicao?" Yu Jiao had never heard of this medicinal herb. Although the names of medicinal herbs may be different in different places and dynasties, Yu Jiao was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Her grandfather took her around to collect herbs since she was a child. She had seen many herbs, but this dark purple knotty grass, including the name of the medicinal herb Zijicao, was the first time she had seen it.
Xue Rong explained patiently, "Zi Ji Cao was brought from Lingnan. It is a foreign herb. Taking it can make your skin as white and smooth as a baby's, and as delicate as a baby's. This palace has maintained a youthful appearance over the years, thanks to it."
"Since it is a medicinal herb only available in foreign countries, how did Your Majesty know that it has such miraculous effects?" Yu Jiao asked.
Xue Rong was slightly startled and frowned slightly, "Is there something wrong with this Zi Ji Cao?" She shook her head slightly, "It was Rongpin who told me. You probably don't know who Rongpin is, but she won't harm me, and she doesn't dare to have the intention to harm me."
Yu Jiao has always had a good memory. She remembered that Liu Ziqi said that the fourth prince's mother was Rongpin. Rongpin's background was not good, and she relied on Xue Rong in the palace to keep the mother and son safe.
Although Yu Jiao had never met Concubine Rong, she must be a very smart woman since Xue Rong trusted her so much.
"Your Majesty, please ask someone to get more Zijicao." Yu Jiao said.
