Consort Xian was petrified when she saw that Noble Consort Qing was taking it seriously. She merely argued with her as usual, it was almost a routine for them every morning now.

Why is she taking it so seriously today? Is she so fond of this Princess Consort Xiao? But, my son told me that he specifically brought an enemy to Mu Yexiao.

That's really odd. Consort Xian finally realized that something was amiss. Since she was his enemy, why did she not murder Mu Yexiao after so many days?

Instead, she had gained complete trust and affection from Noble Consort Qing. At that thought, Consort Xian could not help laughing, unaware that Noble Consort Qing actually knew about Princess Consort Xiao's true identity.

If I tell her, she won't treasure this illegitimate child anymore. With that in mind, Consort Xian suddenly had a boost of confidence. True, she's just an illegitimate child who grew up in a poor village.

She's completely illiterate and has no skills. How can she make these cosmetic products? She must've bought them to trick Noble Consort Qing.

If I really expose her, Noble Consort Qing would be utterly humiliated. When she imagined the scene, Consort Xian burst with joy.

She put on a grave expression and uttered, "Hmph! Sister, what you're saying is wrong. I merely want Princess Consort Xiao to prove that she made them."

"Since she can make the first batch, I'm sure she can make another one. If it's not a trouble, why is she crying?"

When she finished speaking, the crowd shifted their gaze onto Qian Jiujiu, as they felt that Consort Xian's explanation was quite reasonable.

Seeing that, Qian Jiujiu decided to continue her act of a weak, fragile woman. She carefully peered at Consort Xian, before exchanging a glance with Noble Consort Qing.

Noble Consort Qing obviously received her signal and after letting out a cough, she said, "Jiu'er, tell me anything you want to honestly. I'll understand."

"You're my daughter-in-law. Anyone that crosses you will be an enemy of mine."

Qian Jiujiu threw a scornful look at Consort Xian. Then, after some hesitation, she gritted her teeth and said.

"Imperial mother, it's not that I don't want to do it here. I'm just worried that all the ingredients to make the face masks need to be measured correctly. You can't just simply learn it after a few tries."

"If you don't measure them properly, it will be a toxin that corrodes your skin, instead of a beauty product. I have already prepared the face masks for you beforehand."

"If I made them now, when you need to use them, they would have expired. Everyone knows that things will turn bad after leaving it for long. This applies to cosmetic products as well."

Noble Consort Qing was very satisfied with her words, so she nodded and started at Consort Xian viciously.

"Sister Consort Xian, did you hear this? Not everyone can succeed after stealing other people's ideas."

Qian Jiujiu's words implied that Consort Xian wanted to steal the formulation by making her demonstrate making it. Now, Noble Consort Qingeven pointed it out directly.

Even though many other consorts thought that Consort Xian wanted to steal the recipe as well, thew news still came as a shock when everyone heard it.

Thank goodness, she didn't demonstrate it. If she did it, our skin might rot and it would be extremely embarrassing. Furthermore, losing one's beauty would be a life sentence for someone in the harem.
