After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country
Chapter 103: Scarcity Makes Things More Valuable
Concubine Li pressed her whole body against Concubine Rou, hugged his arm and acted coquettishly, "I know that my sister is the best."
Zuixiang on the side rolled her eyes, and the scum from her mouth rubbed onto the empress.
"Zuixiang," Concubine Li opened the box, "Come and put it on me."
Before Zuixiang moved, Concubine Rou picked up the hairpin and carefully pinned it on Concubine Li's bun.
"It's really beautiful," Concubine Rou's straightforward comment made Concubine Li blush.
"Sister, this isn't the first day I've met you, why are you still praising me like this..."
"I'm talking about the hairpin," Concubine Rou poured cold water on Concubine Li, and all her good mood was extinguished. Concubine Li's face drooped instantly, and she grabbed a piece of cake and took a big bite.
Concubine Rou couldn't help laughing. Why didn't she realize that Concubine Li was so interesting before? Ever since she met her, she was happy so many times every day that she couldn't count them. It seemed that it was not bad to have an interesting little sister to accompany her in the palace.
Concubine Rou twisted the antidote in her hand, thought for a moment, and handed it to Zui Xiang, "Put it away first."
Concubine Li ate the cake and mumbled, "What are you going to do, give it to her?"
Concubine Rou glanced at her, smiled, and said nothing.
Concubine Li didn't understand what was going on. Forget it, forget it. It didn't matter. As long as there was delicious food, it would be disrespectful to the food if she said anything bad in front of it. Concubine Rou should do the thinking.
Concubine Li ate several pieces in a row. Concubine Rou rolled her eyes when she saw this. "Have you never seen food in your life? You're eating so much. Are you going to have dinner?"
Concubine Li swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Of course I have to eat. Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. If I don't eat, I will be very hungry."
Concubine Li wanted to eat more. Just as she put the cake to her mouth, she smelled a slight odor and wondered, "What's going on? Is this piece bad? What I just ate was delicious."
Concubine Rou quickly covered her nose and said, "No, someone is coming."
Concubine Li was puzzled for a moment, and the stench became stronger and stronger. Concubine Li reacted and stood up, which scared Concubine Rou.
Concubine Li ran into the inner hall carrying a basket of cakes, put them in the cabinet, and closed the doors and windows.
Concubine Li stayed in the inner hall for a long time. When she came out, there were no palace servants serving her in the outer hall. She must have been driven away by Concubine Rou.
The entire outer hall was destroyed and the stench was everywhere. Concubine Li had to cover her nose with a handkerchief sprinkled with perfumed powder to feel better.
Concubine Rou was nowhere to be seen, but Concubine Li guessed that she was in the courtyard.
Sure enough, as soon as Concubine Li went out, she saw Concubine Rou talking to Concubine Ning not far away.
When Concubine Ning saw Concubine Li coming over, she quickly bowed and said, "Sister Li is here too. I'm sorry for being so rude."
Concubine Ning was smiling on her face, but she was thinking in her heart, why was Concubine Li always there every time she came? Hadn't she and Concubine Rou always been incompatible?
You can think about it, but now is not the time to worry about it.
She didn't know who had plotted against her, and her whole body smelled terrible. The news spread throughout the palace, and she didn't know how to face people.
It was obvious that she was being framed by someone, and those quack doctors in the Imperial Hospital even said that she had a strange disease.
Originally, she could have covered up a little with Concubine Rou's perfume and powder, but who knew that Concubine Gui took a fancy to her perfume and powder and snatched it all away.
Concubine Ning was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she didn't dare to resist Concubine Yin.
Who knew that Concubine Yin also began to emit a foul smell? It really is karma.
If she didn't have any perfume powder in her hand and couldn't cover up the smell, she would not have bothered to come to Concubine Rou.
However, the situation forced Concubine Ning to smile at Concubine Rou and ask, "Do you still have that perfume powder, sister? Can you give me some more?"
Before Concubine Rou could say anything, Concubine Li jumped out and rolled her eyes. Although the lower half of her face was covered with a handkerchief, the sneer on Concubine Li's face could still be seen. "No way, Concubine Ning, do you think our perfume powder was blown by the wind? It was bought with money, okay?"
"No one is as good as you in taking advantage of others. If you want perfume, buy it with money."
After hearing this, Concubine Ning was obviously stunned. Then, when she came to her senses, she was so ashamed and angry that her face turned red. "I came to you to ask for perfume powder because I think highly of you. Others are scrambling to curry favor with me, but you two dare to look down on me?"
Concubine Ning ignored the fact that she was relying on the power of others to bully others. The other concubines were not flattering her at all. They were clearly looking at the Imperial Concubine behind her.
Ningpin looked at Concubine Rou, only to see her standing silently by the side without saying anything, which was considered as her agreement with Concubine Li's words.
What Concubine Li said made sense. This was originally what Zhenyu Pavilion wanted to buy. They gave it to them because they were their own talents. How could Concubine Ning dare to covet this good thing?
Ningpin was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She could only smile and ask, "How are you going to sell it, Sister Lifei?"
Ningpin didn't think so. When she recovered from her strange disease, people would see how she dealt with them. It was just a box of perfume powder. What was the big deal?
Concubine Li thought for a moment, then put her hands on her hips and said, "We spent money on this perfume..."
Before she could finish her words, Concubine Li was stunned. This perfume powder was given by the Empress. She didn't spend any money to buy it, so she didn't know how much this perfume powder was worth.
She looked at Concubine Rou who was standing beside her, and quickly pulled her aside, asking in a low voice, "How much is this perfume powder?"
Concubine Rou rubbed her brows and said, "You don't know the price, but you are so confident?"
Concubine Li's expression instantly became proud, "Isn't it? This thing was given to us by the Queen anyway. How can I be worthy of the Queen if I don't take the opportunity to make a profit from her?"
Concubine Rou rolled her eyes at her. "I don't know the exact price, but I'm sure it's no less than a thousand taels. And this thing has a market but no price. There's even an auction going on in the black market in Jingzhou, asking for two hundred thousand taels per box."
Concubine Li's eyes almost popped out, but she still tried her best to control her voice, "So expensive?"
But it was not hard to tell how shocked she was from her trembling tone.
Concubine Rou spread her hands, "No way, things are valuable because they are rare."
"What's more, this incense powder is not only fragrant, but also contains more than a dozen precious medicinal herbs. Applying it on the body can also beautify and nourish the skin. It is said that it can also make people rejuvenate."
She had not used the gift that Concubine Rou had given to Concubine Li before. She glanced at Concubine Ning secretly and found that she did seem a little younger than last time.
It turns out that this incense powder has this use. No wonder people still buy it even though it’s so expensive.
Concubine Li suddenly frowned. She was just concerned about how expensive the perfume powder was. Only now did she realize what Concubine Rou was talking about: the black market auction.
Concubine Li asked when she had questions, "How do you know about the black market? Or the black market in Jingzhou?"
Concubine Rou smiled and patted Concubine Li's head, "You're not that stupid. You're one of us, so I have to tell you this."
"But right now," Concubine Rou looked at Concubine Ning who kept looking over here, "I'd better send the person away first and then tell you."
Ningpin, who was standing by, was getting impatient waiting. If Zuixiang hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed over to question her.
In this palace, these two bitches dared to ignore her again and again.
Concubine Li understood and knew that the current situation was not suitable for telling these secrets, so she had to send Concubine Ning away first.
