Chapter 309 The female protagonist ascends to the position of Empress Dowager through her son.
At first, everything was wonderful.
Soon, the emperor smelled that faint, foul odor again.
Every time Xu Ruyi opened her mouth to shout or groan, a foul odor would waft out.
They crawled into the emperor's nostrils.
The Emperor casually grabbed a piece of cloth from the side and stuffed it into Xu Ruyi's mouth, silencing her.
With her mouth already gagged, Xu Ruyi could only make muffled sounds.
She didn't understand why the emperor had silenced her.
Is it because her voice isn't gentle and pleasant enough?
Xu Ruyi's mouth was gagged, and she could only breathe through her nose.
I wonder what the Emperor did today.
He had a distinct stench.
The emperor probably didn't bathe before he came.
However, Xu Ruyi dared not speak up and say that the Emperor smelled bad, and suggested that she go take a bath first.
Xu Ruyi could only endure it.
The stench emanating from the emperor was becoming increasingly noticeable.
Xu Ruyi closed her eyes, afraid that she would show a look of disgust in them.
The stench, mixed with the smell of sweat, was enough to make one feel nauseous.
Xu Ruyi was relieved that her mouth was gagged, so she wouldn't suddenly vomit.
The emperor can vomit on her, but she cannot vomit on the emperor.
Unless she doesn't want to live anymore.
This was not exactly the same as the life she had imagined; in fact, it was completely unrelated.
At this moment, the emperor was in the same pain as Xu Ruyi.
It stinks! It stinks!
It smells absolutely terrible.
The emperor, smelling the increasingly strong stench, wanted to leave immediately.
However, my body is somewhat out of control.
I can't bear to leave.
Finally, the emperor couldn't stand the stench and vomited again.
This vomiting finally allowed the emperor to regain control of his body and leave Xu Ruyi.
Xu Ruyi felt the stickiness on her body, the stench lingering in her nose, and the sound of the Emperor vomiting beside her. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer.
They took the cloth out of his mouth.
Xu Ruyi also lay down by the bed and vomited violently.
It's already so dirty and smelly anyway.
Xu Ruyi didn't care anymore.
She couldn't hold back for even a second longer.
She must be incompatible with the emperor.
Why do such disgusting things happen every time she serves the emperor?
The Emperor has vomited twice.
Will the Emperor no longer think of her and only of this vomiting incident?
She's already traumatized; if it happened again, she'd be constantly worried that the Emperor might vomit again.
But if she can't serve the emperor, how can she compete for his favor and climb the ranks?
Why not pursue the path of a talented woman? With her ability to recite poems even if she can't compose them, she could easily make herself famous by reciting a few famous poems by renowned authors.
Or perhaps you could take the career of a female chef? Hot pot, barbecue, skewers, milk tea, pudding, cakes—she could absolutely conquer everyone's stomach.
Xu Ruyi never imagined that she would have no future.
The Emperor has completely lost faith in Xu Ruyi.
Even if it looks attractive, a body that reeks of stench from the inside out is something to avoid at all costs.
The emperor was unwilling to compromise himself.
If this happens every time, it will be torture for him.
The Emperor has left.
Next to Xu Ruyi was the palace of Consort Wang.
When the Emperor came out, he saw the palace maids beside Consort Wang.
Thinking back, since the new concubine entered the palace, she hadn't visited Consort Wang much.
In the past few days, Consort Wang has been sending over some tonics from time to time.
The Emperor turned around and went to Consort Wang's side.
The palace maid hurriedly and happily ran to report to Consort Wang.
The Emperor has really come.
Upon receiving the news, Consort Wang praised him and quickly redid her makeup and attire to welcome the Emperor.
They thought that Xu Ruyi had once again gained the Emperor's favor, which was why the Emperor came over during her confinement period.
But after only a short while, the emperor left again.
This amount of time is not enough for the Emperor to get things done.
Moreover, the emperor did not call for water.
The Emperor arrived, and Consort Wang carefully observed his expression.
The Emperor looked unwell; he had come from Xu Ruyi's place in a huff.
Consort Wang understood that the Emperor had come to her place to relax.
After the Emperor arrived, he had Consort Wang serve him as he bathed and changed clothes.
Consort Wang immediately ordered preparations to be made.
There is a hot spring pool in Consort Wang's palace, which was built by the Emperor specifically for Consort Wang.
This is also proof of Consort Wang's favor with the emperor.
This is something that even the Empress's Kunning Palace doesn't have; only Consort Wang has it.
Consort Wang and the Emperor went to the hot spring, where Consort Wang personally served the Emperor as he bathed.
Consort Wang also noticed that the Emperor had an unusual odor.
They specially arranged for flower petals to be prepared in the hot spring.
However, for some reason, the emperor's odor persisted.
Even though she was completely clean.
However, Consort Wang smelled an unusual odor.
But the emperor himself seemed completely unaware of anything.
Didn't the Emperor smell it himself?
Could it be that His Majesty has contracted some kind of disease?
Consort Wang was a little nervous, and she seemed somewhat distracted while wiping the Emperor's back.
When the Emperor saw that Consort Wang was not very strong when rubbing her back and looked absent-minded, he wondered if she was too tired and had no energy.
Considering that it was getting late, the emperor didn't say anything.
He also told Consort Wang to go back and rest first, and summoned someone else to scrub her back.
The emperor took a comfortable bath.
When they returned, they found that Consort Wang had already fallen asleep.
The emperor was somewhat displeased.
Although it was he who asked Consort Wang to come back and rest first.
But since she herself hadn't fallen asleep, how could Consort Wang have fallen asleep first?
Consort Wang had never acted like this before.
Is it because I've been focusing all my attention on the new concubines lately and neglecting Consort Wang, that she's throwing a tantrum at me?
In the end, the emperor went to bed himself and lay down on the outer side of the bed.
Only one can pamper their own favorite concubine.
He liked the way Consort Wang would occasionally throw a tantrum.
After looking at all the newcomers, only Xu Ruyi's face was truly attractive.
Looking at it now, none of them are very good.
No two of the Consort Wang's designs are alike.
The Emperor still puts Consort Wang first.
I'll go to the storeroom tomorrow and find some interesting little trinkets to give to Consort Wang to play with.
The next day, Consort Wang received a gift sent by the Emperor.
Consort Wang looked at the gifts and inquired whether they were unique to her or were also given to her sisters.
Consort Wang was in a good mood upon learning that it was unique to her.
She specially chose a hairpin and wore it to pay her respects to the Empress.
The well-informed concubines have already found out what happened last night.
The Emperor first went to Xu Ruyi's place, and then to Consort Wang's place.
This morning, the Emperor even sent someone to deliver a reward to Consort Wang.
There was no movement from Xu Ruyi's side.
This comparison further highlights how much the Emperor favored Consort Wang.
Consort Wang also arrived late, appearing amidst the murmurs of the crowd.
"I'm sorry, ladies, I'm late."
Just as I was about to leave, I happened to run into the Emperor delivering a reward.
That took some time.
