Magpie couldn't keep things to herself after all. As soon as Rong Xi spoke, she asked the question that had been on her mind.
What woman doesn't love beauty?
Of course, both Magpie and Crimson Purple were quite beautiful. Although they were still young, they were definitely beauties in the making. When Ulanara married, the four maids who accompanied her were there to help her, as the primary consort, secure the emperor's favor.
Marry a virtuous wife, and take a concubine for beauty.
Previously, Rong Xi had felt a bit envious and jealous of Xi Que and Jiang Zi. These two girls were more beautiful than her, and whenever she saw them, she felt ashamed of herself. Why couldn't she be beautiful too?
Now, she really looks beautiful.
Yes, right now, her looks absolutely crush the two girls. Even if they grow up and become real beauties, she will still be prettier than them.
Good looks are everything!
If Rong Xi weren't trying to maintain her image as the primary consort, she would definitely have cheered a few times at this moment.
"Well, it's from eating a Cleansing Spirit Fruit!"
Rong Xi had no intention of hiding it.
Besides, why keep it a secret? The Fourth Prince was willing to give her such a miraculous fruit as the Divine Cleansing Fruit, so what was there for her not to tell others?
"The Cleansing Spirit Fruit?!"
When Granny Rui and Granny Xiang heard Rong Xi's words, they were completely dumbfounded.
They are people who have lived for many years, so naturally they are very knowledgeable.
Magpie and Crimson Purple didn't know what the Cleansing Spirit Fruit was, but they did know that it was something that could only be found by chance, and no one even knew how it was produced.
"The prince somehow obtained a Cleansing Spirit Fruit and gave it to me, his wife. The taste... well, it's not bad!"
Rong Xi is now openly showing off.
Congratulations, Madam!
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang congratulated Rong Xi once again.
The Cleansing Fruit, such a wondrous substance, can cleanse the soul, leaving the cultivator's heart pure and free of defilement, ensuring a smooth path of cultivation. While other cultivators may encounter inner demons, those who have consumed the Cleansing Fruit remain unaffected.
"It's alright!"
Rong Xi chuckled.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a little unhappy. Having such a good thing, yet not finding anyone of her caliber to boast to, left her feeling somewhat resentful.
As for Consort Li and Consort Song, Rong Xi never considered them as rivals of the same rank. Due to their different status, the so-called consorts were still concubines.
Rong Xi didn't intend to show off to Consort Song and Consort Li, but these two just happened to arrive at this time.
I've come uninvited!
"Greetings to the Princess Consort! I pay my respects to the Princess Consort!"
Consort Li and Consort Song arrived with their maids and stepped forward to greet them with exceptional deference.
"Let's forget about it!"
Rong Xi responded faintly.
Consort Li and Consort Song quickly stood up and looked up at Rong Xi. Upon seeing her, both of them were somewhat dazed. Why was the person in front of them different?
But if you look closely, it is indeed from the Ulanara clan!
Is there something wrong with my face?
Rong Xi's gaze slowly swept across the faces of Consort Li and Consort Song.
Upon hearing Rong Xi speak, both of them were startled and quickly came to their senses.
Consort Li was quick-witted and immediately spoke up, saying, "I was impolite, please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Consort Song also spoke up, but unlike Consort Li, she wasn't as perceptive. She spoke her mind directly, saying, "Your Highness has suddenly become more beautiful! This concubine, ah, my apologies! Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Having spoken her true feelings, she heard Consort Li apologize to Rong Xi. Consort Song quickly followed suit, also apologizing.
Consort Song was indeed not as shrewd as Consort Li, but she wasn't stupid either. As the saying goes, "a fall into a pit, a gain in your wit," and Consort Song had suffered quite a few losses at Consort Li's hands, so she had learned her lesson. However, it would take time to change her temperament.
However, Consort Song realized one thing: she had to agree with Consort Li. If they were wrong, they would both be wrong; if they were right, she would benefit from it.
"Hehe, this princess has indeed become more beautiful, that's a fact!"
Rong Xi chuckled.
"I never expected that the Cleansing Fruit given by the Prince would have beautifying effects; it's quite a pleasant surprise!"
What? Divine Cleansing Fruit?
Consort Song and Consort Li stared wide-eyed, speechless.
The Cleansing Spirit Fruit was actually given to a mere mortal whose dantian was shattered!
The two of them came over now because they had confirmed that Rong Xi had returned to being a mortal and wanted to watch the show. But instead of seeing the show, they were fed a mouthful of dog food by Rong Xi.
They were also the Fourth Prince's women, well, only in name.
But why should I?
Both of them possess unique spiritual roots, one in a hundred. If they cultivate the Yin-Yang Dao with the Fourth Prince, they can bring him immense benefits.
And Rong Xi?
It was bad enough that he had such useless spiritual roots as the Five Spiritual Roots, but now even his dantian was shattered, and he had become an ordinary mortal again. Yet, under such circumstances, the Fourth Prince actually gave away the incomparably precious Cleansing Spirit Fruit.
At this moment, the way Consort Song and Consort Li looked at Rong Xi was truly filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
That's not fair!
"By the way, what brings you here to see me, Your Highness?"
After Rong Xi finished feeding Song Consort and Li Consort the dog food, she slowly inquired about their purpose for coming.
"Uh, we..."
Consort Song was still in a daze, her heart burning with jealousy, and she had no idea how to talk to Rong Xi.
"I heard that Your Highness's dantian has been damaged. I have a Life-Creating Pill here!"
Consort Li quickly regained her senses, took out an exquisite white jade bottle from her storage bracelet, and held it in both hands.
The Elixir of Life Creation!
However, it is a higher-grade elixir than the Guiyi Pill. Moreover, the formula for the Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Pill has been lost. The Sheng Sheng Zao Hua Pills that exist today were all found in some ancient caves.
Legend has it that the Life-Creating Pill has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh and bone.
Rong Xi stared in astonishment at Consort Li, while Granny Rui stepped forward, took the exquisite white jade bottle from Consort Li's hands, and handed it to Rong Xi.
The white jade bottle is engraved with a line of characters, which belong to ancient script.
Rong Xi didn't recognize any of them.
Granny Rui recognized three of them: Sheng Sheng and Dan, but she didn't recognize the two characters in the middle.
"Granny Rui, is this really the Life-Creating Pill?"
Rong Xi looked at Granny Rui and asked softly.
"Reporting to Your Highness, this servant cannot be certain!"
Granny Rui dared not take her guess seriously, after all, she couldn't bear the blame if something went wrong!
"Consort Li, do you recognize the characters on this?"
Rong Xi looked at Consort Li and spoke slowly.
"I don't recognize this either, but I guess it should be the Life-Creating Pill."
Consort Li responded, "Among the ancient elixirs, apart from the Life-Creating Elixir, there seems to be no other elixir with the name 'life-creating'!"
