Empress Shen followed Ah Zi's gaze and saw what Ah Zi was looking at at at a glance.

Thinking of her, a young girl, she didn't even look at a room of jade Ruyi silk satin, but she suddenly fell in love with this seemingly inconspicuous stone, and she was secretly surprised in her heart.

"Do you like it?" The queen whispered in Ah Zi's ear.

Ah Zi came back to his senses at this time, and was shocked to realize that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly smiled and changed the topic: "Isn't your birthday banquet going to be held in a few days, why don't you wait until that time to present it to you in person at the banquet?" ”

The queen explained with a smile: "These are either gifts sent in advance by princes and ministers guarding the frontier or courtiers who are not of enough rank to attend the birthday banquet. ”

Ah Zi nodded.

When Empress Shen saw her absent-mindedness, she didn't know that she had fallen in love with the things in the brocade box.

smiled and pulled Ah Zi to sit down, and then instructed the palace maid beside him: "Wrap that piece of ambergris and give it to Miss Xin Zi." ”

Ah Zi was so shocked that he slipped down from the chair and hurriedly saluted: "This is a gift from the officials to honor you, how can I take it away so shamelessly, wouldn't it be a waste of their hearts." ”

When the queen heard this, she smiled and said, "How can it be so serious." Since they were given to me, I have the final say on what to do with them.

"Besides, this ambergris is said to have been caught from the deep sea in the south, and it is an extremely rare color, but I don't know any of this, and it seems to me that it is just a stone with some strange smell.

"I was still telling his son just now, I've seen someone who sent beautiful jade. I've seen a stubborn stone, but I've never seen such a strange piece of raw material sent, is it because I have learned the craft of making incense to use?

"I'm worried that I have nowhere to go, it just so happens that you like it, and giving it to you is my heart, which is much more worthy than being an eyesore in my palace."

Seeing the queen say this, Ah Zi really wanted this piece of raw material in her heart, so she naturally stopped twisting and refusing, saluted and thanked her repeatedly, and then accepted the heavy piece of raw material in her hand.

In the evening, he returned to Yan's house. met Zuo Qiyang head-on. He looked at the ambergris in Ah Zi's hand, and said with a puzzled expression: "What are you doing so happily holding a stone?" ”

"You know what," Azinu sneered, "it's ambergris." Put it in the usual place. But there is no price for the best incense making materials. Even my master once had a headache because of the shortage of this material. ”

Zuo Qiyang became interested when he heard this: "Oh? Do you know how to make incense? ”

The first errand that Ah Zi came into contact with when he followed his master in the Medicine Immortal Valley was the refining of the "Vegetarian Poison Incense", so he naturally knew a lot about making incense.

But that's not why she's so excited at the moment.

When I first entered the palace before, I heard the Empress Dowager mention it. I often have insomnia because of my age, and I am not used to benzoin, and this problem has been solved by relying on "vegetarian poisonous incense", and then the master was killed, and the "vegetarian poisonous incense" was out of stock, and there was no other effective way to replace it, so I always couldn't sleep steadily, and my spirit was not as good as getting up day by day.

And Ah Zi received such a great love from the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, but she couldn't repay it, and she was very guilty in her heart, except for entering the palace every day to accompany the two masters of Dongyang Palace, but she couldn't find any other place to repay.

Now that I have this ambergris, I can try to remake "vegetarian poisonous incense" to honor the Empress Dowager and her old man.

Although the courtesy is light, it is important to the heart.

Thinking of the Empress Dowager's relieved expression when she received the incense, Ah Zi's heart was indescribably happy.

Seeing that Ah Zi didn't reply, but laughed again to himself, Zuo Qiyang was even more puzzled, stretched out his hand and shook it twice in front of Ah Zi's eyes, and said, "Hey? What do you think? ”

Ah Zi came back to his senses and thought that if he wanted to remake the "Su Poison Incense", he would inevitably need Zuo Qiyang's help, and he didn't hide it from him at this time, so he simply said: "Let's go in first, sit down and talk in detail." ”

Today, I rarely came back a little early, anyway, I was idle, Zuo Qiyang was full of answers, and went in with Ah Zi.

"I want to remake 'Vegetarian Poison Incense'." Ah Zi put the teacup aside and got straight to the point.

"What is 'vegetarian poison incense'?" Zuo Qiyang choked back Ah Zi's emotions that had been brewing for a long time with a question.

But after thinking about it, Zuo Qiyang, a foreign minister, was transferred from Dongyuan a few years ago, even if he was close to the Empress Dowager and the Empress, it was impossible to know all aspects of their diet and daily life.

Thinking of this, she patiently explained to Zuo Qiyang one by one, from the time she developed a new method of refining "Vegetarian Poison Incense" with her master to the discovery that the Empress Dowager was actually a client of her master when she came to the palace.

"In other words, this piece of ambergris in your hand is one of the raw materials needed to make that 'vegetarian poisonous incense'?" Zuo Qiyang pointed to the stone in Ah Zi's hand and asked.

Ah Zi nodded: "And it is the most critical and rare raw material." ”

Zuo Qiyang groaned for a while and said, "Then what are you doing with me about this?" ”

Seeing that Zuo Qiyang was pretending to be confused again at this time, Ah Zi could only say patiently: "If you want to make incense, only this one piece of raw material is naturally not good, there are several other raw materials, as well as equipment for extracting spices, I don't have any of these." That's why I want to ask you to help me. ”

Zuo Qiyang touched his chin and said, "What if I don't want to help you?" ”

This is a little bit of his heart that he wants to dedicate to the Empress Dowager, Zuo Qiyang just doesn't help himself, that's understandable, Ah Zi can only lower his eyes and say: "Then I'll find another way." ”

Seeing this, Zuo Qiyang sighed and said: "You live in Yan Mansion now, and your food, clothing, and chewing are all from Yan Mansion, and you don't have a penny on yourself, how can you think of a way?" ”

Ah Zi hasn't thought about this yet.

So she couldn't answer.

Zuo Qiyang sat up straight and tasted tea leisurely.

During the period of time he lived in Yan Mansion, Ah Zi had long known Zuo Qiyang's style of acting, and when he sat in front of him like this, he must not have planned to do nothing, otherwise he would definitely go away directly, leaving no room for himself to argue or fight.

Seeing that there was room for the matter to be returned, Ah Zi was naturally overjoyed, and Xiaoyi leaned to Zuo Qiyang's side and said, "What should I do, so that Zuo is willing to help me with this?" ”

Zuo Qiyang was taking the lid of the tea bowl to filter the tea leaves floating in the tea bowl, and when he heard the words, he squinted at Ah Zi and said: "I will help you find all the utensils and raw materials to use to make incense, after this 'vegetarian poisonous incense' is made, it will be sent out in my name on the day of the birthday banquet, how about it?"
