Chapter 150: Perfume is born
For several days, the five princes did not come to greet the Queen Mother.
Early in the morning, the Queen Mother waited in the dormitory.
"Why did the Queen Mother get up early in the morning?"
Mama Lu took the prepared breakfast and just sent it into the house, and she was startled when she saw the Queen Mother sitting on the edge of the collapse.
The Queen Mother slowly raised her eyelids, and looked at Mama Lu with some helplessness in her eyes, "What have you been busy with in the past two days? Why didn't you see him come to ask for peace?"
Mama Lu also shook her head in confusion, "I didn't hear that the fifth prince was sent to do anything." Xu is the fifth prince has just returned to Beijing, and he is still playing, so he made an appointment with the other princes and those buddies in the capital to go out to play together. ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she sighed, "This child, since he has returned to Beijing, he will stay by the side of the mourning family for a few days." Besides, isn't there still Xi'er in the mourning palace now? It would also be great if he could take advantage of his return to Beijing this time to set his marriage with Xi'er. ”
Before the Queen Mother's words fell, she heard Lu Yunxi's greeting voice from outside the house.
The Queen Mother immediately put away her words, glanced outside the house, and cordially called Lu Yunxi in.
Lu Yunxi walked into the house with a mahogany tray, saluted the Queen Mother, squinted her eyes, showed a slightly indifferent smile, and said in a low voice, "The Queen Mother is not in a good mood these days?"
Hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at Lu Yunxi happily, "Xi'er is really a smart girl." Then tell me, why is the mourning family in a bad mood?"
Lu Yunxi's eyes moved lightly, smiled slyly, and continued, "The fifth prince has not come to greet the Queen Mother in the past few days, and the Queen Mother is missing her grandson." Am I right?"
Looking at Lu Yunxi's playful appearance, the Queen Mother was even more happy, and her heart was even more determined, she definitely wanted Lu Yunxi to be her granddaughter-in-law.
"Queen Mother, Xi'er can't replace the position of the fifth prince in your heart, nor can she do his filial piety to you. However, Xi'er has prepared something for you, and you must like it. ”
Lu Yunxi said as she instructed Mama Lu to bring the tray over.
Mysteriously, she lifted the red cloth from the tray, revealing a white box in the tray.
Lu Yunxi raised her chin, glanced at the Queen Mother, and said softly, "The Queen Mother opened it and took a look." ”
The Queen Mother smiled, moved two steps forward, opened the box, and an indifferent aroma instantly spread in the air.
"Yo, this smells so good. The old slave has served in the palace for so many years, and he has seen a lot of incense powder and balm, but he has never smelled such a good smell. ”
Without waiting for the Queen Mother to reply, Mama Lu took the lead in showing a smile and looked at the Queen Mother with a little joy.
In the white bottle, there was a bottle of liquid with a hint of yellow, which was exuding a faint aroma.
"You've been busy in the backyard these days, and you're working on this thing, right?"
As she spoke, the Queen Mother picked up a small brush on one side, lightly lit some liquid, and sniffed it under her nose.
The scent is a little stronger.
"I originally wanted to make a jade cream, but the things needed for this jade paste are too cumbersome. In desperation, I could only make this perfume. ”
As Lu Yunxi spoke, she carefully took the brush in the Queen Mother's hand, and then clicked one or two in the bottle, gently brushing it twice behind the Queen Mother's ears and neck.
"Most of the incense powder we used in the past was a monotonous smell, and if it was applied in the morning to the afternoon, or even before lunch, the smell would have almost disappeared. ”
Lu Yunxi said as he put the things in his hand back into the tray, and continued, "However, this perfume is very different from incense powder." This perfume lasts for a long time, as long as you use one or two drops, the smell will not disappear at night. ”
The Queen Mother let out an "oh" in surprise, her eyes moved slightly, and she continued, "This smell doesn't seem to be very different from ordinary incense powder." ”
"The Queen Mother is really discerning. ”
Lu Yunxi said, stood up, paced back and forth in the room, and continued, "That's right." This perfume palace is divided into three flavors. The top note is a faint jasmine aroma, the middle fragrance is the smell of rose, and the base note I deliberately chose sandalwood, which smells long-lasting and sweet, and is more refreshing. ”
After speaking, Lu Yunxi turned around.
She folded her hands in front of her, her face was full of joy, she leaned forward twice, and stared into the Queen Mother's eyes, "Queen Mother, do you think Your Majesty will like this taste?"
Hearing this, the Queen Mother's face, which was still kind and kind, suddenly became gloomy, "Xi'er, what are you asking for?"
Lu Yunxi realized that her words were inappropriate, and hurriedly shook her head, "Queen Mother, where do you want to go?" Xi'er means that if His Majesty likes this taste, the ladies in the palace will definitely rush to buy it. If I can develop more flavors, or make a few more bottles, maybe I'll sell them in the palace. ”
The gloom on the Queen Mother's face was swept away, and she suddenly laughed.
She leaned back and fell back with laughter for a while, and tears were about to drip out, "You girl, you are really weird." I don't know if Your Majesty likes this smell or not, but the mourning family likes it very much. ”
Lu Yunxi's eyes were also full of smiles, and she nodded, overjoyed.
After her fuss, the Queen Mother's mood also improved a lot, and the atmosphere in the room gradually relaxed.
"The Queen Mother is overjoyed. ”
At this moment, he heard the joyful voice of the eunuch outside the house.
The eunuch rushed into the house, and he didn't care about saluting for a moment of joy, so he immediately said, "The Queen Mother, Concubine Song is very happy, and she is already three months pregnant." ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was also overjoyed, and she hurriedly stood up, took a few steps forward, and stared at the eunuch, "What?
The eunuch nodded happily, "It's confirmed, it's confirmed." Early this morning, Concubine Song couldn't eat, so she passed the imperial doctor, and it was confirmed. ”
Although the Queen Mother has never liked Concubine Song very much, it is a very happy thing for her to be able to add a royal grandson.
"Good, good. Since the birth of the Nine Emperor Princes the year before last, there has been no such good news in the palace for a long time. Mama Lu, go and send the jade white Guanyin in the mourning family library to Concubine Song. Tell her that don't do anything else these days, and the most important thing is to raise the baby with peace of mind. ”
I haven't seen the Queen Mother so happy for a long time, and Mama Lu is also happy, so she only agreed, and ordered the eunuch to follow her out.
The Queen Mother was overjoyed, Rao sat at the table, and kept laughing.
