Chapter 224 Revealing the Past



Jipin gave birth to a daughter, who was the eldest daughter after all, and the first one is always different.

Thanks to her eldest daughter, Concubine Ji finally had a place in the harem.

Time flies, and soon another year has passed.

That day, Concubine Ji walked anxiously back and forth in the main hall of Jinse Pavilion, and she couldn't even take care of her most beloved daughter.

After wandering around for a long time, Mei'er finally came back.

She immediately went to meet him: "How is it? What did parents say?"

Mei'er lowered her head, her tone somewhat lost: "My Lady, my family said they don't have much money left, so I asked you to think of a solution yourself."

Jipin's heart skipped a beat and her face turned pale.

She took a few steps back and fell down on the soft couch.

Several palace maids were startled and hurried over to help her, saying, "Your Majesty!"

Jipin waved her hand, looking tired: "You guys go down first."

Lu Yunxi glanced at Ji Pin inconspicuously and retreated silently.

It goes without saying that the Bo family is definitely unwilling to pay for the birthday gift.

Before she got married, Concubine Ji was quite generous. The servants all liked this young lady and rushed to work for her. But after entering the palace, life became difficult and she became a miser. She wished everything was free. Later, she had no choice but to ask others to pay for her meals. After she became pregnant, she was given special treatment by her superiors and her food and clothing became much better.

However, this special treatment ended after Concubine Ji gave birth to a child. Although the allowance was delivered on time afterwards, it was extremely difficult to save money.

Previously, the birthday ceremonies for the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Queen were all prepared by the Earl's Mansion, but now the Earl's Mansion has objections.

It’s no wonder that after Concubine Ji gave birth to a daughter, the emperor only came here to see his daughter and rarely stayed overnight, so it was difficult for her to have another child.

The second wife's eldest daughter is about the same age as before, just in time for next year's draft, and she's prettier than the second wife.

Even if Madam Bo wanted to send something to her daughter, the Second House wouldn't be happy about it. The old lady of the Bo Mansion was still there! It was impossible for all the resources to be concentrated in the hands of the First House.

Jipin couldn't figure it out for a moment, but she thought it wouldn't take long for her to understand.

However, Lu Yunxi guessed wrong this time. Concubine Ji never thought that her family would send her sister here. Lady Bo was her biological mother!

Until the day when Lady Bo came to the palace to ask for an audience.

"Mother?!" Hearing what Lady Bo said, Concubine Ji's throat choked a little, and her hands gripping her skirt became tighter and tighter. "I'm still in the palace! How long have I been here? You're so anxious to send my second sister in..."

Thinking of the old lady who loved her so much in the past, and her own mother... she tried hard to hold back her tears, not wanting anyone to see her in such a miserable state.

Even if the person opposite her is her mother.

Mrs. Bo sighed helplessly: "This time I am sorry to the queen. I have been trying to stop it, but the old lady insisted on letting the second son's family come to the palace to help you."

At this point, she gritted her teeth secretly. She had clearly come to the palace to snatch favor, not to help her daughter! How hateful that this old lady had to interfere in this matter when she clearly didn't care!

Concubine Ji sat above, her eyes a little dazed.

The lady looked at her daughter, and the more she looked, the more distressed she felt: "Your Highness should make preparations early and give birth to children for the Emperor as soon as possible. As long as you give birth to a prince, no other girl in the family can compare to you."

Jipin took a deep breath and said, "Mother, let me think about it."

After Lady Bo left, Lu Yunxi watched Concubine Ji being depressed for a few days, and then she started to make trouble.

As soon as she returned from paying her respects to the Queen, she asked someone to boil water and took a bath three times, changing the flower petals with three different types.

Unfortunately, her idea was good, but she didn't consider that some very fragrant things cannot be mixed casually. Some smell very fragrant when mixed together, while some smells not only do not become fragrant when mixed together, but instead become extremely strange.

This time she was unlucky and failed!

When Lu Yunxi went out to explore the world, he had smelled all kinds of smells, and his expression was calm, but other people could not do that. When they smelled the pungent smell on Ji Bin, which sounded like gasoline and burnt plastic, their faces changed.

For some reason, Jipin couldn't smell the scent on her body at all and was still excitedly picking out clothes.

"I will wear this royal blue dress later. It makes my skin look whiter, and I'll pair it with pink embroidered shoes. The emperor said before that I look good in that." Concubine Ji looked at the clothes in the closet and pointed at a few of the accessories.

Mei'er paused and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, you smell a little too fragrant right now. It's a little overpowering. I wonder if the Emperor might not like it."

She managed to say the words, and glanced at Ji Bin's expression from time to time.

Fortunately, Concubine Ji did not get angry, but she did not pay attention to the meaning of her words and just thought she was speaking the truth.

Jipin couldn't help but feel worried when she thought about her previous failed attempts to win favor from the emperor.

She pondered for a moment, then suddenly had an idea: "Go get the ointment I bought when my foot was injured!"

Juer immediately responded and went to get the collected medicine.

"Your Majesty, are you sending medicine to someone else?" Juer asked respectfully.

After all, Concubine Ji was not injured, so it was naturally not for her own use.

Unexpectedly, Jipin said, "Open it for me and apply some behind my ears, on my wrists, and on my neck."

When these words were spoken, Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju were all shocked.

"Your Majesty, calm down! This ointment is only needed when you are injured, and it tastes very bitter!" In addition, this ointment is colored, but it is not white, but a dark green ball, very close to black. When this ointment was used on Concubine Ji for the first time, she was very resistant!
