Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage - Chapter 452

Chapter 452: Chapter 452: Fragrant and Soft

Jiang Ning laughed and said, “I think Concubine Jin is getting more and more beautiful, and only this rose is worthy of her.”

She handed over the rose.

Concubine Jin glanced at it, “Where did this flower come from? As the new favorite in the East Palace, you’re like a fish in the water here, not only is everyone fond of you, but they also flatter you actively. Even this flower came to you first. Ms. Ma never received such treatment in the past.”

“Ms. Ma was ungrateful and unkind, how can she compare to my likability?”

“The only thing you excel at in this palace is boasting about yourself, you’re unrivaled in that.”

“Thank you for your compliments, Your Highness.” Jiang Ning leaned in, “Your Highness, please step aside so I can swing.”

Concubine Jin was taken aback, “No one has ever dared to compete for a spot with me before.”

“Well, there is someone now, isn’t it refreshing?” Jiang Ning squeezed in beside her.

Concubine Jin was delicate and precious, with a slightly plump figure, fragrant and soft.

It felt so comfortable rubbing against her.

Concubine Jin glared at her, “How can there be such a shameless girl like you?”

She stood up and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“Nothing, just strolling around.” Jiang Ning swayed, “Didn’t Your Highness just ask me where this rose came from?”

“I don’t know which sycophant sent it to flatter you.”

“Although Your Highness is usually wise, you’ve guessed wrong this time.” Jiang Ning had Gucheng push the swing, “I got it from Concubine Xian.” “Concubine Xian? When did she start liking these things?”

In her impression, Concubine Xian was a dull person who put all her hopes on her son and had long given up on her appearance and the need for the Emperor’s love.

In recent years, she had never used any of the rose fragrances and such purchased in the palace.

How come it’s only April now, and the palace hasn’t made any substantial purchases yet, but she had already bought them at such great effort?

Jiang Ning sat on the swing, flying back and forth with a smile, “If Your Highness can’t figure it out, I can provide you with some hints.”

“This has nothing to do with me, and I’m not interested in it.”

Concubine Jin turned her head away.

Still the usual aloof beauty.

Jiang Ning laughed, “Only by listening can you know if this is related to you.”

Concubine Jin walked over to a chair and sat down, ignoring her.

Jiang Ning laughed, “The flowers in the Imperial Garden are blooming beautifully. Huang Ying, take a clean crystal bowl and pick some. I want to make flower cakes.”

Concubine Jin glanced over, “What kind of flower cakes?”

Jiang Ning said, “Gucheng, push me higher!”

She soared up.

Concubine Jin, “…What did you just say about why Concubine Xian is using rose flowers?”

“Of course, it’s for bathing, washing her face, and washing her hands, to make herself fragrant and beautiful. So she could attract the Emperor’s attention and make him stay in her room.”

“…She’s already in her later years and no longer serves the Emperor.”

“It’s just that she no longer serves him in accordance with the rules, but there is always an exception if the Emperor likes it.”

“You think too much. The Emperor only likes beautiful women.”

“That’s why she needs to dress up and maintain her appearance. What we’re saying doesn’t contradict each other.”

“You mean, she wants to serve the Emperor?” Concubine Jin was surprised.

“Correct!”

“This must be your wild guess, right?”

“This is not a wild guess, it’s an inference based on evidence!”

“Still a wild guess.”

“Your Highness, do you have any thoughts on this?”

“What is there to say.”

“Someone wants to serve the Emperor.”

“So what? There are one or two hundred women in the harem, which one of them doesn’t want to serve the Emperor? The Emperor doesn’t exclusively dote on one concubine. He can go wherever he likes.” Concubine Jin was indifferent..
