Chapter 216 Speechless
The spring breeze is warm and the sun is warm.
Li Xihua waited until the Third Prince Qin Mingjin had seen the imperial physician and taken the medicine, then he left the Yueshi Palace, swaggered past the Imperial Garden, and headed towards the Nanxun Palace.
"My concubine greets Lady Jiang. May Lady Jiang be blessed with good health. Where are you going?"
When Li Xihua saw Jiang Lanzhi and her group from afar, his eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward to greet them.
As both were implicated in the case of Concubine Hui Meng Xinghe and the poisoning of the Fourth Prince, and were confined for three months and demoted to the status of a good concubine, and as both were concubines who were promoted back to their positions thanks to the little prince, Li Xihua had no ill feelings towards Jiang Lanzhi, a woman who had a low sense of presence, was not much favored, and yet shared the same suffering.
It was rare for Concubine Li to greet her so solemnly like today, and Jiang Lanzhi felt very awkward.
Jiang Lanzhi sent palace servants to investigate early because of an overly strong fragrance. She found out that it was Concubine Li who passed by. She wanted to turn around and avoid her, but she was discovered by Concubine Li.
When Li Xihua approached, the palace servant holding the Eighth Prince hurriedly turned slightly sideways and raised her sleeves to gently cover the Eighth Prince's mouth and nose.
"The blue sky is covered with white clouds, the south wind brings the fragrance of grass and trees. Today's weather is excellent, and I have no paperwork to do, so I took the Eighth Prince out to stroll around the Imperial Garden.
I never thought I would run into Lady Li. Lady Li's fragrance spread ten miles away. Could it be that she knocked over the perfume jar and spilled all over her body?"
Jiang Lanzhi rubbed the tip of her nose and couldn't help sneezing.
"Yes, it's all because of that palace maid's clumsiness, which forced me to go out to get some fresh air. As I was walking, I arrived at the Imperial Garden." Li Xihua said smoothly.
She added: "Fortunately, although the fragrance is a bit strong, it is not pungent. It is still early. Is Concubine Jiang going back?"
"We're tired of walking around. The Eighth Prince has been clamoring to go back. I came out early, so I won't disturb Concubine Li from admiring the flowers." After a few words of greeting, Jiang Lanzhi wanted to leave.
She herself was fine. The scent on Li Xihua was simple and very familiar. It was the most common style for low-ranking concubines. It was an ordinary perfume powder specially developed in the palace that could be used even by pregnant women.
But the taste is too strong.
She didn’t know whether Xiao Ba could bear it, but she couldn’t let Li Xihua damage her child’s nose.
Li Xihua ignored Jiang Lanzhi's evasive look and shamelessly moved forward to hold Jiang Lanzhi's arm.
"I am tired from walking, and Concubine Jiang is also tired from walking. Concubine Jiang's Yilan Palace is far away, so why don't Concubine Jiang and I go to the nearby Nanxun Palace to rest?
As for the Eighth Prince, just ask the palace maids to take him back."
She had heard that Bai Liangyu was reprimanded by His Majesty and demoted from a concubine to the lowest rank of selected maid. She was so frightened that she almost had a miscarriage and had to lie down to protect the fetus.
If Bai Liangyu was so suspicious of her that she miscarried because she thought she was going to use her real name due to the strong scent on her body...
No matter whether it is useful or not, it is always good to have one more person to share the responsibility.
"Lady Li, how can a pregnant woman like Concubine Bai bear the fragrance of your body?"
Jiang Lanzhi frowned, her vigilance reached the highest point.
Are you here to mess with her again? Is she so easy to bully?
"I have consulted the imperial physician before using the perfume powder. I only dare to sprinkle it on my body because it is harmless to pregnant women and children. Sister Jiang is worrying too much."
"I have no friendship with Lady Bai, and I am really worried about Xiao Ba, so let's just forget it."
Jiang Lanzhi pulled her arm back, turned around and walked away hurriedly, and the palace servants followed her with a look of understanding.
Want to drag her down? She's not stupid.
If something happens in such a bad situation, what will happen to her little Xiao Ba?
She really couldn't stand such stupid people.
There are two pairs of sisters in the harem, one pair of sisters from different mothers, and one pair of cousins. When they fight, please don't drag others into it, okay? It's best to die together.
Li Xihua looked at Jiang Lanzhi with regret, and the more she shouted, the faster she walked.
