Chapter 767
Huaqing Palace was built next to Huaqing Pool, and as the weather got hotter, the banquet was held in Huaqing Palace.

Hearing Meimei's report, Concubine Xi pretended to be sick and didn't come to the tasting.

The wind from the water brought a little bit of coolness, and everyone laughed and chatted while admiring the scenery on Huaqing Pool.

Concubine Xian sat opposite Mrs. Xiao, looked at her and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xiao looks good today, and her appearance is even better than before. If it is said that you and Miss Xiao are two sisters, I am afraid that some people will believe it."

Mrs. Xiao only thought that Concubine Xian was flattering her, but when it fell into Xiao Yu's ears, she groaned, and could not help turning her head to look at Mrs. Xiao.

Because of the pain of losing her son, Mrs. Xiao mourned deeply, her complexion was not good all the time, but now she saw that her skin was creamy and her complexion was rosy, she was a completely different person from yesterday.

Xiao Yu had a bad premonition in his heart.

Mrs. Xiao saw that she had been staring at her in a daze, and couldn't help saying: "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a smile: "Concubine Xian is right, mother's complexion is much better today."

Madam Xiao raised her hand to touch her face, and smiled softly: "It may be because I slept well last night, and when I woke up in the morning, I felt refreshed."

After Xiao Jue's death, Mrs. Xiao was haunted by nightmares every night. Last night, she slept until dawn. She didn't even wake up from the big noise last night. She really fell asleep.

In the past few days, the two of them ate and drank the same food, and they ate the same food. If Mrs. Xiao fell under the beauty gu, then she would also fall under the gu, but her complexion was no different from yesterday.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu felt relieved slightly.

"Princess Zhen Guo is here." At this moment, the shrill voice of the servant came from outside the hall.

Everyone got up and saluted one after another. When Concubine Jing saw Rong Jiu, the string in her heart became even tighter.

Rong Jiuyan laughed at Yan Yan, saving everyone from having to perform these vain rituals, and then sat down on the high seat.

Afterwards, the palace attendants filed in, and there were three glass bottles on each tray.

Rong Jiu smiled and said, "These are three new perfumes I developed, let's taste them."

Concubine Xian opened a bottle and sniffed it lightly: "This one has a faint musky fragrance, very elegant."

The atmosphere became more relaxed. When Concubine Jing saw the perfume, the tight string in her heart was loosened. She couldn't help but also took a bottle and smelled it: "This one is also good. It has a floral and fruity fragrance, and the fragrance is pleasant."

Mrs. Xiao held a bottle of pale pink in her hand, and said to Xiao Yu: "This one, the first smell is the fragrance of gardenia, and the next smell is the cool smell of cedar, Yu'er, it is very suitable for you."

Xiao Yu was not very interested. She raised her head to look at Rong Jiu, who raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly: "Among these perfumes, there are some elegant ones, some cool ones, and some sweet floral ones. Miss Xiao doesn't like it? I think Mrs. Xiao The bottle in hand, the coolness of cedar is very suitable for you."

Xiao Yu's expression was cold: "The princess is very good at guessing people's hearts, but I'm afraid the princess may have guessed wrong this time, and the courtiers don't like these things. In this world, not everything can be controlled by applause."

"It doesn't matter if you don't like it, I still have a big gift for Miss Xiao." After speaking, Rong Jiu's eyes fell on Mrs. Xiao.

Xiao Yu's heart suddenly suffocated, and she saw Mrs. Xiao clutching her heart in pain, and the glass bottle in her hand suddenly fell to the ground, releasing the fragrance of gardenias.

"Mother!" Xiao Yu's expression changed drastically.

Mrs. Xiao's pale face was covered with cold sweat, as if she had endured great pain, her lips trembled: "Yu, Yu'er, I'm in so much pain, I... ah."

Madam Xiao suddenly screamed.
