Sure enough, the next day, Concubine Ning took advantage of her going to pay her respects and deliberately kept her.
Is he going to cause trouble?
"Xu Pin, look at your face, it's too plain."
Xu Chu smiled and said, "My family is ordinary and I don't know how to dress up."
But she secretly wondered in her heart whether Concubine Ning wanted to deal with her face today?
When Concubine Ning heard this, her brows lit up with joy, but she didn't show it immediately. She still spoke with a haughty attitude, "Princess Xu, the Emperor said that we sisters love each other. I have a special rouge that I'd like to share with you now."
"Someone, come here! Put some rouge and powder on Concubine Xu."
Since Concubine Ning suddenly shared it with her, it was natural that she was either an adulterer or a thief.
But of course she couldn't refuse, but she had to agree immediately to avoid suspicion.
"Empress Ning, since I was a child, my skin would break out in rashes whenever it came into contact with rouge and powder."
When Concubine Ning heard this, she snorted in displeasure, "Xu Fei, do you think that the things I have are just ordinary rouge and powder?"
"Of course not."
Xu Chu also took this opportunity to ask the system, "Help, can you see if this rouge and powder will cause a reaction on my skin?"
"Of course."
"I have this kind of ointment for repairing rouge in my space, right?"
"Host, don't worry, there is such a plaster in the space, you can give it a try."
"Xu Pin, sit down."
Xu Chu then sat down. At this time, the maids applied makeup on her face for a long time, and finally she appeared with a brand new look.
She deliberately glanced at the person in the bronze mirror. Indeed, the person in the mirror was extremely beautiful and charming, which was inconsistent with her previous temperament.
She didn't like the bright makeup, but she still expressed her gratitude.
"I thank Concubine Ning for the dress she bestowed upon me."
Concubine Ning was worried that Xu Chu would wipe off her makeup, so she specifically said, "Xu Concubine, I have explained to the Emperor today that you will be seen in a different light, so please don't wipe it off."
If she doesn't wipe it off, then her face will be ruined.
"Okay, then I'll take my leave."
Xu Chu knew that her face would react after she left Concubine Ning's bedroom.
Even if she testified against Concubine Ning at that time, Concubine Ning would probably not admit it.
She saw the front yard of Concubine Ning's main hall was full of roses. She suddenly had an idea and asked, "System, is there nectar in the space?"
"Yes, the emperor specially gifted you royal jelly last time."
"That's it. I smeared them on my body, and then..."
"Host, are you crazy? Do you still want to save your face?"
"If you get stung by a bee, your face will heal even slower."
"Help! I'm not applying it on my face, I'm applying it on my body. Besides, don't you have ointment in your space?"
"Host, we have plasters in our space, but we can't let you make them like this."
"I can't build it, just watch me."
Xu Chu deliberately turned to the side and took out the honey from the space. She opened the lid of the earthen jar, and suddenly, a strange fragrance came to her nose.
It seems that this scent is indeed unique and is definitely enough to attract bees.
She only took a little and applied it on her forehead, and the rest was applied behind her ears and on her neck.
"Host, is your method feasible?"
Xu Chu really wanted to give the system a cold look and said, "Don't worry."
"I'm going to try it now."
Xu Chu walked to the front of the flower bed. Facing the cool autumn breeze, she slowly twisted her body and danced with the flower bed.
But what she didn't know was that Song Jingyan had just entered the main hall of Yongning Palace and saw this scene.
He was stunned, his eyes fixed on Xu Chu who was dancing among the flowers. She was as charming as a fairy among the flowers.
At this moment, he felt that his soul had been taken away by Xu Chu.
But the next second, suddenly, a group of bees appeared from nowhere, and Xu Chu screamed in the flowers, "Ah..."
"Bees... bees..."
She knew she could attract bees, but she never expected that she would attract a swarm of bees.
"Xiaotao, bee."
At this time, several palace maids and eunuchs rushed to protect her.
"My lord, come here quickly."
Song Jingyan saw a group of bees chasing her and his heart tightened. After a few jumps, he came in front of Xu Chu.
Without saying a word, he carried Xu Chu on his back and ran all the way. Finally, when they reached Xu Chu's bedroom, he put Xu Chu down.
"My dear, how are you?"
“Wuwuwu…”
"Your Majesty...I'm going to be disfigured..."
“Wuwuwu…”
Song Jingyan felt very distressed when he saw Xu Chu crying bitterly, but when he walked closer and saw that Xu Chu's face was swollen like a pig's head, he couldn't help feeling nauseous.
"Xu Chu, your face."
Xu Chu knew that her face was ruined, so she immediately rushed to the bronze mirror and saw her swollen body. She screamed, and the next moment, she heard the sound of the mirror breaking.
"Your Majesty, I... wuwuwu... what should I do? I don't know why those bees rushed towards me."
"My lady, is there something wrong with the rouge and powder that Concubine Ning gave you?"
"I heard that those things have a scent that will attract bees."
"Wow, wow, wow..." Xu Chu burst into tears sadly.
Song Jingyan's face darkened and he ordered, "Eunuch Fu, bring Concubine Ning here for questioning."
After Concubine Ning and several maids were invited to the side hall, they saw Xu Chu's face and almost laughed out loud.
"Concubine Ning, is this your masterpiece?"
Concubine Ning immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am wronged."
Song Jingyan's eyes darkened, and a cold gaze fell on Concubine Ning, "You are innocent! Then why was Concubine Xu stung by a bee after she left your bedroom?"
Concubine Ning naturally would not admit her own masterpiece, and she defended herself by saying, "Your Majesty, if Concubine Xu had an accident in my palace, then I would have nothing to say. But Concubine Xu happened after leaving my bedroom, so how can such a thing be blamed on me?"
Before Xu Chu raised any objections, Xiao Tao on the side retorted in advance: "Ning Fei Niang, but you have never seen my master last time. Today, as soon as you saw my master last time, something happened to her."
"You little dog slave."
Seeing the nanny about to slap Xiao Tao, Song Jingyan scolded her harshly, "Concubine Ning, you have the final say here."
When Concubine Ning heard this, she was shocked and said, "Of course, it is His Majesty who has the final say."
Song Jingyan still had a stern face and ordered, "Eunuch Fu, take these back and examine them carefully."
"And Concubine Ning, I warn you, do not challenge my bottom line again. Even if your father is the Prime Minister, I can still banish you to the cold palace."
