Everyone went to Concubine Zhao's palace together again and sat in the main hall. The seats were the same as they had just sat in the Empress Dowager's palace, the only difference was that Concubine Zhao sat on the main seat at the top.
She behaved like a queen.
"This is the first time that Concubine Chun has come to my palace. We should all move around more often in the future."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
Rong Xi was neither too close nor too distant, but his manners were so considerate that no one could find fault with him.
Although Concubine Zhao was somewhat dissatisfied in her heart, she still had a happy smile on her face. She coughed lightly and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Sister Chunpin, this bracelet is a small gift from me to the new concubines. Several of my sisters have them on their hands, and I also wear one on my hand. Please don't despise it."
As she spoke, she gave a look to her personal maid beside her. The maid immediately nodded in understanding, walked forward with a box in her hands, and handed it to Rong Xi respectfully.
System [Rong Xi, don't take it. This bracelet has a hidden secret. It contains musk and borneol. Prolonged use can cause infertility or miscarriage.]
Rong Xi paused as he took the box, then took it steadily.
"Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty. I will wear it all the time."
Concubine Zhao smiled happily, "As long as my sister likes it, I'm afraid that the style we choose is old-fashioned and my sister won't like it."
"I like it very much, thank you, Your Majesty."
The whole morning was occupied by paying respects, and Rong Xi fell headfirst onto the bed after returning to the palace.
System [Rong Xi, you knew there was something wrong with this bracelet, yet you still accepted it and said you should wear it often.]
"If I hadn't accepted it then, I would have been suspicious. Besides, since I already knew there was something wrong with the bracelet, I naturally wouldn't wear it again."
The system was confused, but soon he knew what Rong Xi was going to do.
She spent her points to have the system replicate an identical bracelet for her.
The bracelet with the real problem was placed by Rong Xi in the spiritual space. If the imperial concubine stopped here, she would not touch her, but if this was just the beginning, then don't blame her.
.
That night, after much hesitation, the emperor finally came to Rong Xi's palace, but he came at an unfortunate time, as Rong Xi was bathing inside.
The emperor mustered up the courage to come here. He knew his body condition very well and he didn't want Rong Xi to find out. But if he didn't come to her palace, it would not work.
But he had finally made up his mind to come here, and now he couldn't get in. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a voice coming from inside.
"Gardenia, who's here?"
Gardenia was the personal maid chosen by the emperor for Rong Xi before she entered the palace, but no one knew where this maid had gone. Rong Xi asked inside but no one answered her.
"Rong Xi, it's me."
'His Majesty? ! '
"yes."
The emperor was afraid that Rong Xi couldn't hear his voice clearly, so he stood very close to the door, but this also allowed him to hear the movements inside very clearly.
He heard Rong Xi quickly get up from the bathtub, and could even hear the sound of her stepping one foot out of the bathtub and stepping on the ground with her wet foot.
Thinking of her current state, his throat felt inexplicably dry. She must be naked now. Although she is his concubine now, he still feels a little abrupt.
He was about to say something to her and leave, but before he could open his mouth, the door was opened from the inside.
As the door opened, a gust of cold wind blew in. Rong Xi, whose hair was wet and dripping, turned pale and shivered.
"Your Majesty, you are here. Come in, it's cold outside."
The emperor wanted to leave, but for some reason he stepped inside and asked a very stupid question, "Were you taking a bath just now?"
He regretted it after asking. Anyone with eyes could see what she was doing just now. He was just making small talk.
Rong Xi looked at him and knew what he was thinking, so he poured him a cup of hot tea and handed it to him.
"Well, your majesty, please have some hot tea to warm yourself up."
The emperor picked up the teacup, took a sip, and frowned slightly.
He had expected the tea to be bitter as usual, but to his surprise, it had a faint sweetness.
The emperor was so surprised by the taste that he couldn't help but drink a few more sips.
As the tea goes down my throat, a cool breeze spreads through my body, giving me a refreshing and unworldly feeling.
The emperor closed his eyes, feeling the aroma of tea lingering in his mouth. He also noticed that his body gradually became relaxed and his mind seemed to become much clearer.
Even all the fatigue during this period was swept away.
"Rong Xi, what is this tea?"
Rong Xi smiled. This was the tea into which she had just quietly put the fitness pills. Drinking it would certainly make her feel refreshed both physically and mentally.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this tea?"
Rong Xi also took a symbolic sip, looking at the confusion on the emperor's face, and tasting it carefully before answering again.
"Your Majesty, this tea tastes the same as before, there's no difference."
The emperor was puzzled. He was the one who was most aware of the changes in his body. He looked at Rong Xi and then at the teacup, and said with a smile.
"Maybe the tea I drank before was too bitter. Yours is lighter."
"I see."
Rong Xi's hair was still dripping with water, and it had soaked a large area of her originally dry clothes.
"Where are the maids serving you? Why aren't they here?"
"Oh, Madam Chun caught a cold, so I asked her to rest. Zhizi and the others went to get me some snacks, and one went to the Imperial Household Department to get me clothes for tomorrow."
