Chapter 568 Rong
Jingren Palace.
Rong Fei sat sideways in front of the dressing table, looking at the basin of silver-frost charcoal in the corner. Her apricot-like eyes became unpredictable as the charcoal fire flickered.
It was only late autumn now, and although the nights were gradually getting colder, there was still some time before the palace officially distributed charcoal for heating.
However, the four concubines who were about to give birth in Jingren Palace received special approval from the emperor and were allowed to use charcoal in advance.
The reason...
Of course, this is to practice the secret recipe for having a child anytime and anywhere without restrictions.
"My lady, Xiao Shunzi has already gone."
The female official Hu Yue'e came in from outside, felt the temperature in the room, and asked again: "It's almost time. Do you think we should postpone it and wait for Xiao Shunzi to come back, or..."
"No need."
Rong Fei stood up from the spring stool and stretched out her arms. Hu Yue'e hurried forward to help her undress and placed a fine Persian velvet carpet in front of the floor-length mirror.
The embroidered shoes and silk stockings were taken off at the edge of the carpet, revealing the well-groomed figure in the floor-length mirror. Rong Fei's scrutinizing eyes habitually fell on the upper left position of the mercury mirror.
That part should have reflected a flawless abundance, but now there was a bubble the size of a peanut stubbornly lingering on it, greatly reducing the beautiful view.
There is no way. After all, the manufacturing technology these days is not mature enough. Mercury mirrors of a few inches in size are now limited edition products on the market. By extension, it is naturally even more difficult to make a floor-standing mirror with a "perfect screen".
There may not be many glasses that can be used to make floor-standing mirrors in a thousand yuan. One like this one with only one "bad spot" on it can be considered a top-notch product.
And this small flaw is not impossible to avoid.
Without saying anything else, just turn the mirror upside down so that the bubble is at the knee area and it won't be so annoying.
Hu Yue'e and other palace maids also made such suggestions.
But Rong Fei refused to do so. Not only did she put the flaw on it, she also insisted on having it reflected in the center of her chest every time.
When they first moved into Jingren Palace, the emperor bestowed four mirrors. The first person to rush over was Rong Fei, and she fell in love with the only one without any flaws, the "perfect screen".
However, the mirror finally fell into the hands of the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun.
If that is what the emperor wants, then that’s fine.
It would be fine if Jia Yuanchun tried hard to fight for it.
Neither of them said a word, but Rong Fei tried her best, even begging that ballless thing with soft words...
From that day on, she had a thorn in her heart.
And the bubble on the mirror, in her opinion, was the reflection of the thorn. If she couldn't pull it out by the roots, and it was deeply embedded in someone else's chest, what was the point even if she tried to cover it up?
After staring at the bubble for a while, Rong Fei took a deep breath and then began to practice various movements of the secret recipe for having a child on the carpet.
She was so focused, striving to achieve perfection in every movement, that in just a quarter of an hour, her body was covered with a layer of moist and smooth color.
However……
“Hmm~!”
With a muffled groan, Rong Fei, who was standing on one leg with her ankle bent, fell one after another on the carpet.
“Damn it!”
She punched the blanket twice angrily, then stood up and continued to challenge, refusing to admit defeat. Although she did not repeat the same mistake this time, her delicate body was swaying like .
In fact, in terms of physical flexibility, Rong Fei may not lose to Jia Yuanchun. In fact, because of her age advantage, she may even be slightly better in some aspects.
Unfortunately, her innate advantages that she usually relied on to dominate the sport became an insurmountable shortcoming in this regard, especially certain postures that required balance, which caused her to suffer repeated setbacks.
He practiced for a while out of spite, but he realized that if he continued like this, it might not help him and he might even hurt himself.
Rong Fei then stopped unwillingly, sat down on the spring stool in anger, took a handkerchief and lifted up her underwear, wiping the sweat fiercely, and said angrily: "If you delay the dragon seed, what use will I have to you?!"
In fact, she had tried it before, asking a palace maid to support her, but that was not the right way after all.
Nowadays, this secret recipe for conceiving a child has been labeled as metaphysics, so she is also worried that if someone helps, it will affect the effect. Wouldn’t it be a waste of time?
But Rong Fei was venting her anger when she heard the sound of the bead curtain at the door. Then Hu Yue'e walked in and reported, "Your Majesty, Xiao Shunzi is back."
"You're back?"
Rong Fei suddenly stood up from the spring stool, pressed down the small clothes that were undulating like mountains, and asked anxiously: "Why did you go for so long? Did you gain anything?!"
"I haven't had time to ask yet."
Hu Yue'e hesitated for a moment and added, "But judging from his appearance, it seems that something unexpected has happened to him."
Something unexpected happened?
Is the truth exposed? !
But how could this happen? !
Xiao Shunzi is usually the most alert, and he has never met that person before, so how could he be seen through by that person? !
Rong Fei's heart trembled, and her clothes, which had just calmed down, began to rise and fall like a bellows again.
She did not even bother to put her clothes back on. She just hurriedly put on a pleated skirt and embroidered shoes and went out into the outer room.
"My queen!"
There was only a handsome young eunuch outside. When he saw Rong Fei coming out, he said with a bitter face, "That Lord Sun is really not an ordinary person. He exposed my identity in just two sentences!"
What you fear is bound to come true!
Concubine Rong became more and more nervous. Not to mention the undergarment inside, even her pleated skirt could hardly suppress her intense heartbeat.
The rosy little mouth trembled for a few times before she squeezed out a sentence: "He... has he ever seen you?"
"That has not happened."
Xiao Shunzi stole a glance at her and saw that her face had lost all color. He knew that she had misunderstood something, so he hurriedly said, "Although Lord Sun saw through that I was not Concubine Xian De's person, he did not know that it was the Empress who sent me."
Having said that, he recounted the two people's brief responses.
When Concubine Rong heard that he had not revealed his identity and had taken a long detour on the way back, she breathed a sigh of relief. However, she then frowned and pondered, "He actually saw through my flaws with just these two sentences? This is too... Did you reveal your expression in your panic?!"
"Absolutely not!"
Xiao Shunzi hurriedly explained, "I hid in the shadow of the steps on purpose to talk to Lord Sun. It was so dark, how could I tell what he was saying?"
"Others may not see it, but he may not see it."
At this time, Hu Yue'e at the side could not help but interrupt and said, "I heard that this Mr. Sun was born with a pair of sharp eyes. Not to mention people, even ghosts and monsters cannot escape from him!"
Rong Fei had naturally heard of such rumors, and had thought them to be nonsense before, but now she couldn't help but wonder.
It would have been fine if we had discovered that Xiao Shunzi was a fake.
Could it be that the secret recipe for having a child contains some mysterious and mysterious stories?
After thinking it over, she couldn't help but ordered, "Xiao Shunzi, tomorrow you find a way to send a message to my parents' home and ask them to ask a master to open a magic altar to help us drive away the evil spirits!"
Xiao Shunzi took the order and left.
Rong Fei returned to the inner room but became more and more agitated. She took off her pleated skirt but still couldn't calm down. She simply gritted her teeth and stripped naked. She stood in front of the floor-length mirror again, staring at the flaws on the mirror, and said word by word: "Just wait, one day I will climb over your head!"
