After Zhou Dalang finished speaking, Jiang Erlang, who had not spoken, waved his hand to Huan Zicheng, and was righteous and awe-inspiring: "We are willing to lead a sentry cavalry to break off the rear for the general and drag the Zhao army." ”

At this point, he paused slightly, and said in unison with Zhou and Du: "The last general and others swear to protect my Dachen and protect the general's safety!"

These loud words seemed to stir up the north wind, and a gust of wind came suddenly, and the cloaks on the three of them were blown into the wind.

Huan Zicheng seemed to be stunned, and then paced and groaned, and finally stood stiff under a dead tree for a long time, before he seemed to have woken up, and his slightly excited voice immediately sounded: "This plan, great wow!"

Jiang, Du, and Zhou shook their hands at the same time, and on the low-hanging three-sided helmets, the white tassels shook majestically, just like the tacit glances they hastily exchanged with each other.

Huan Zicheng looked up to the sky and smiled, stepped forward to personally help them, and said loudly: "I don't want to have tiger generals and wise generals under my command, God bless me Da Chen, God bless the Holy Monarch." ”

While he spoke, he raised his hand to the sky, and he couldn't bear to bow in the direction of Dadu, Jiang Erlang and the other three also bowed down to Dadu with him, and Jiang Erlang's lowered eyes flashed a little impatience.

After a while, Huan Zicheng stood up straight, his back straightened, and he was depressed with a sweep, and stretched out his arms to point in the direction of the big tent: "Several generals, please follow me to the tent to talk in detail." ”

"Please. Jiang Erlang stretched out his hand and said, Zhou and Du also said "please" in unison, and the four of them were in high spirits and walked in the direction of the main tent.

The north wind howled by, and a large chunk of sinking ice in the Surabaya River collided with the waves, making a loud noise.

Yet, in the midst of this vast and barren wilderness, the sound of the water, the wind, the army of 100,000 and the horses and chariots, seemed so weak. This spaciousness that connects heaven and earth seems to be engulfing everything with its emptiness and coldness.

…………………………

On the day of Halloween, from the morning, the weather is a bit overcast, and it will rain but not rain, and snow will not snow, so that people will feel uncomfortable when they look at it.

This year, the beginning of winter came later, and the weather was not too cold, but the hand warmer stove had to be brought with it, and the charcoal stove had to be burned to withstand the cold in this late autumn season.

In the Linhua Palace, a gorgeous feast is arranged in the morning, and there is a bronze beast furnace next to the beams and pillars, and the silver frost charcoal is buried in the furnace, and the whole palace is burned warmly.

In addition to the beast furnace, the hall is placed in the big smoke cage, the bottom of the smoke cage is lit with a large charcoal basin, and the top is hung with a gilt carved beast rosette small incense lamp, which is smoked with the secret sprinkle orchid wax in the palace, which is the best thing to wake up the guests at the drunken feast.

Qin Su was wearing a long skirt with blue water, wearing a golden hairpin, sideburns and Huasheng, with a dragon's eye on the ear and a pearl ear bell, and thousands of spring breezes seemed to be gathered under the wide sleeves.

Emperor Zhongyuan looked at his daughter from a distance, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and beckoned: "Come, my son will sit next to his father." ”

Since the Huifeng Palace, Emperor Zhongyuan has not been leisurely for a few days, the town is very busy, consciously snubbed Jiao'er, and remembered that this is the first time that Princess Jinling has given him a birthday, last year's birthday crowd, there are still only a bunch of bare sons, but now there is a delicate daughter, he is happy in his heart, and today this banquet let Qin Su sit next to him.

"Thank you for your father's throne. Qin Su stepped forward and bowed, then sat on the first seat next to the throne of the dragon chair, raised his eyes to look around, covered his sleeves and chuckled: "Father really used the recipe offered by his son, does my father like this smell?"

Emperor Zhongyuan flicked the golden crown and narrowed his eyes slightly: "The essence of Safulan is better than that of agarwood." Fu opened his eyes to look at Qin Su again, his eyes were full of joy: "My son is thoughtful, and he is very happy." ”

Qin Su bent his eyes and smiled: "My father's birthday, my son's retainer has been thinking about it for a long time, and only the incense recipe made by myself can barely be regarded as a gift from my son." If you go out to buy it or ask someone to do it, you will lose your heart. ”

This was said sincerely and pleasingly, and Emperor Zhongyuan was very happy, and he stroked his temples and laughed.

Sitting at the head of the table under Qin Su was the eldest prince, and he and the other three princes were seated in order, and they were lined up down the jade steps. As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he has been ill recently, but he was also absent from today's birthday banquet.

Speaking of which, Emperor Zhongyuan didn't look at any of his sons, and he didn't feel anything if there was one less prince, let alone scolded the prince for half a sentence, about in the bottom of his heart, he hated that all adult sons were seriously ill and dying.

At this moment, seeing that Qin Su and Emperor Zhongyuan were talking lively, the eldest prince's wife Liang wiped the corner of her lips with a scarf, and looked at Qin Su with a smile in her eyes: "What kind of incense recipe did the imperial sister offer? I said that after entering the palace, I smelled the aroma here very well, but it turned out that this Safulan was made by the imperial sister herself, which is really rare." ”

Qin Su straightened his sleeves and looked leisurely: "The imperial sister-in-law has won the award, this is actually not difficult, just take agarwood, borneol, sandalwood, ambergris, om, musk, side by side grass whiskers, oil, sweet maran, elm, rose dew, take the right amount, and then knead a little wax oil, you can make this fragrant incense candle." ”

She stretched out her wide sleeves, danced around half a circle, and her eyebrows and eyes curved: "This kind of incense candle is used in this hall, but it tastes lighter than just incense cakes, and there is that candle burning, and when it is cold, it is warm." And this fragrant wax also has the same benefit, that is, it is easy to store, no matter how hot the day is, it will not change the taste, unlike the fragrant cake, as soon as the weather is warm, it is easy to mildew. ”

Liang smiled and didn't say anything, and the second prince's wife Lou on the side came over to make fun: "No, I said that this year's smoke is very good, it turns out that this is the royal sister's jade hand, I can smell it a few more times." ”

These words caused everyone to laugh, and the fourth prince's wife Lu Shi on the side smiled and covered her sleeves and said: "The birthday gift of the third emperor's sister-in-law is not bad, look at the one on it, isn't it the hidden dragon plate?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked up, but they saw that on the long case on the left side of the jade steps, there were many exquisite birthday gifts, among which the water ripple hidden dragon halo green lotus leaf plate was the most eye-catching.

Looking at the rare porcelain plate that brought ruin to the Qin family in his previous life, Qin Su's heart was in a trance, as if it was the drizzle from another life, which was falling in front of him again.
