Lu Yunxi was a little confused about what she was thinking.
But Jipin was very persistent: "What do you know?! Are you the Empress or am I the Empress? This matter of seeking favor still depends on me!"
No one said anything else.
After all, in the Earl's Mansion, Concubine Ji also has the final say.
Jipin waved them away impatiently, and then fiddled around in the house by herself.
I don't know what she did, but when she came out, she had dug out a large piece of the ointment.
There was also a strange smell on Ji Bin's body, which was more pungent than gasoline and a bit like the smell of stinky tofu.
The smell was so strong that Mei'er and the others could smell it even from three meters away, not to mention Lu Yunxi, the master.
She held her breath and silently watched Ji Bin walk by in a blue dress.
When concubines sought favor, they always brought eunuchs with them instead of palace maids, because they were afraid that the palace maids would steal the limelight.
So the four of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum went to rest again.
However, only an hour later, Concubine Ji was carried back by the eunuchs.
Looking at Concubine Ji lying unconscious on the bed, Mei'er worriedly asked, "Xiao Shunzi, Xiao Lizi, what happened? Why did the queen faint?" Is she pregnant again? Or did she twist her ankle again?
Unexpectedly, Xiao Lizi and Xiao Shunzi looked very embarrassed.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of orderly footsteps outside, and a group of young eunuchs came in carrying several boxes.
Mei'er was immediately delighted: "Is it for our queen?"
"That's right!" The eunuchs put the things in the place designated by Mei'er, collected the reward and left.
"Your Majesty has received so many rewards. I believe the Emperor is very satisfied with your service!" Zhu'er said with a smile, her eyes flashing.
Xiao Shunzi cried out, "Ouch!" and frowned, "That's not the case! The moment the Empress saw the Emperor, she immediately went upstairs. Who knew that when she was halfway there, the Emperor would smell the... fragrance on her body."
"The Emperor immediately stopped the Empress and told her to stay away because the smell on her body was too... pungent."
"The Emperor asked the Empress to give Your Highness some more perfume, and asked Her Highness to apply more perfume when she goes out, and it would be best if she could take a bath before going out."
When Concubine Ji heard the emperor's words of disdain, and there were two nobles beside her covering their noses and laughing, her face turned red on the spot and she fainted from anger.
Lu Yunxi: ...
Everyone: ...
After this incident, the emperor never came to Jinse Pavilion again.
Jipin was so worried that her hair turned white, but there was nothing she could do.
Fortunately, a few days later, at the birthday banquet, when Concubine Ji went over to offer a toast, the Emperor finally gave her face and didn't bring up the matter. Instead, he smiled and drank the wine, thus putting the matter behind him.
