Chapter 233: Gift-giving
The concubine sat on the main seat, her newfound piece of incense burning in the incense burner at hand. This spice was originally obtained from outside tribute, and I heard that there were only one or two pieces in the entire palace.
One was in the Queen's Palace, and another was specially given to her by His Majesty.
In the past, Concubine Du was reluctant to use this incense, if it weren't for today's hearing Nian Yuning say that Lu Yunxi treated the concubines in the palace so favorably, she would not be willing to take out this incense and use it.
She just wants Lu Yunxi to know who has the final say in this harem.
Who knows, after Lu Yunxi saluted, he moved the tip of his nose, sniffed twice, frowned, and said in a low voice, "The incense in the concubine's palace is Hu Xiang?"
Concubine Du glanced at Lu Yunxi in a little surprise, lazily closed her eyes, put her hands on the armrest, and leaned her whole body on the armrest, "What?
"I've only learned a few. This incense is mixed with sandalwood and barella juice in a mahogany box, buried under the tree for 9981 days, and then opened. Finally, it is added to one of the most commonly drunk mare's milk wines of the Hu people, and finally mixed to make a balm. ”
When Concubine Du heard Lu Yunxi's explanation, she involuntarily took a deep breath, inhaled all the smell of Hu incense into her nasal cavity, tasted it carefully, and really found that there were the flavors that Lu Yunxi said.
She couldn't help but look straight, slowly sat up, and stared at Lu Yunxi in surprise, "I didn't expect Miss Lu to understand these things." ”
Lu Yunxi showed a slightly embarrassed look, "I don't understand." It's just a little bit of a scratch about it. The perfume that Dyexi Pavilion dedicated to the palace some time ago is also a kind of incense making, and you must always know the inner doorway. ”
Dusk Guifei regained her lazy appearance, hummed lightly, and waved her hand gently, "Give me a seat." ”
Lu Yunxi thanked and sat aside.
"I heard that Miss Lu and Concubine Cao are sisters. Even when Concubine Cao was pregnant, the things she used were made for her by Miss Lu herself. ”
When Lu Yunxi heard this, the hand that picked up the teacup couldn't help shaking twice, and almost spilled the water in the cup.
She stabilized her emotions, looked up at Concubine Dui, and showed an indifferent smile, "It was also Your Majesty who valued Concubine Cao's birth, so he ordered me to prepare something for Concubine Cao." If the concubine is in need, she will naturally send it to the concubine first. ”
Dusk Guifei snorted coldly, changed directions, and the maidservant behind her immediately stepped forward, shook the pu fan in her hand, and gently fanned Dusk Guifei.
"Everything in the main palace is readily available, and nothing is missing. Even for this incense, His Majesty got two pieces, one of which was in the palace. In this palace, in addition to the queen's mother, there is only this palace. ”
The corners of Lu Yunxi's eyebrows couldn't help frowning together.
The first time she smelled Hu Xiang was in the Cao Concubine Palace.
Concubine Cao said that it was just a reward given to her by the emperor on a whim.
It is said that if this thing is so rare, just because there is one in the middle palace, among the other palaces, it is naturally a high-ranking one.
Now, since I know that there is also Hu Xiang in Cao Concubine's palace, either Hu Xiang is not a rare thing, or His Majesty favors Cao Concubine.
Whatever the reason, it was obvious that Dusk was unaware of this.
Lu Yunxi also had no intention of breaking it, and caused trouble for himself in vain.
She bowed, "Niangniang has always been favored by Your Majesty all these years, if you get any good things, Your Majesty will definitely think of Niangniang for the first time." ”
Concubine Du was a little happy when she heard this.
"Did Miss Lu rely on this mouth to coax the Queen Mother and let the Queen Mother escort Miss Lu from the wind?"
As she spoke, Concubine Twilight looked at Lu Yunxi with cold eyes.
Lu Yunxi's heart couldn't help but tighten, and she raised her eyelids, but her eyes collided with Concubine Dusk in mid-air.
Seeing this, Lu Yunxi sighed in his heart and secretly said that it was not good.
She couldn't be more familiar with that kind of gaze!
It is the resentment and anger that is unique to women fighting.
Whether it is in China or now, Lu Yunxi has seen a lot.
In this twilight concubine's words, she first targeted Concubine Cao everywhere, and now she showed such a gaze, Lu Yunxi only thought about it for a moment, and then knew what was happening.
Someone must have slandered in front of Concubine Dusk, saying that he deliberately helped Concubine Cao win favor during pregnancy.
Dusk Guifei was unable to compete with the pregnant Concubine Cao, so she saw that all her anger was sprinkled on herself.
Fortunately, she was prepared.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunxi immediately got up and saluted the concubine, "Concubine Niangniang, the concubine also brought a gift to Concubine Niangniang today." ”
After finishing speaking, he saw Hong Aya walking in quickly from outside the house, bowing down, and holding the red tray in his hand high above his head, "Guifei Niangniang, Miss specially presents a new set of Dyeing Xi Pavilion for Guifei Niangniang to enjoy." ”
When Concubine Twilight heard this, a look of joy crossed her eyes.
She leaned forward a little and glanced at the contents of the tray, which was truly exquisite.
I have long heard that not only the quality of the products is very good, but the packaging also satisfies the women's love for beauty, and now it seems that this is really the case!
Concubine Du stared at those things for a long time before she straightened up, snorted, shrunk back into the chair, and said in a deep voice, "Miss Lu, what's the use of these things being sent to the main palace now?
Lu Yunxi hurriedly got up and saluted, "What did the noble concubine say?" I didn't think about it before, and I didn't send a copy of this thing to the concubine. In the future, if there is a lack of things for this woman in the Niangniang Palace, just order someone to go to the Dyeing Tide Pavilion to get it. ”
When Concubine Du heard this, her face softened a little, and she glanced at Lu Yunxi with slanted eyes, "Is there any difference between this thing and that Concubine Cao used?"
"Concubine Cao is pregnant, and the things used are naturally safety first, and there is no special effect. These things given by the concubine to the mother have an effect on both anti-aging and whitening. ”
I thought that Concubine Twilight would be a little happier when she heard these words.
Who knows, her face is even more gloomy.
Only then did Lu Yunxi realize that he had said the wrong thing.
For the women in the palace, the two most unheard words are aging.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunxi immediately spoke, "Naturally, Niangniang, you are in your prime, these things are just icing on the cake on Niangniang's face." ”
Seeing that Concubine Dusk's face relaxed again, Lu Yunxi was a little relieved.
"That's it. ”
Dusk stood up, and the girl immediately stepped forward to support her.
"I'm a little tired in this palace, I'm going to rest, if Miss Lu has nothing to do, let's go back first." ”
After speaking, the concubine went straight to the apse.
