Chapter 42: Perfume
"Ke'er, who made this thing?" Li Shimin asked Li Ke.
"Back to my father, it was Qin Feng's maid who did it! Erchen has been there to help! Li Ke said honestly, eating is a dangerous thing in the palace. Anything of unknown origin is never allowed to be entered, especially the mouth of the emperor.
Qin Feng, forget about this kid. I scanned the entire banquet hall, but I didn't see this kid. The stinky boy went there. The guards obviously reported that Qin Feng was also here today, why couldn't he see it?
"Uncle Bao, Qin Feng is there, why didn't I see it?" Li Shimin asked Qin Qiong. Qin Qiong and a few other princes also turned around and searched behind them, but they didn't see it, only a few juniors sitting behind them could see Qin Feng.
Qin Feng's palace maid who was drinking and flirting didn't know what was going on. This made Qin Huaiyu and the others smile bitterly, when did they still flirt with the maid.
"Fengzi! Fengzi! Your Majesty called you! Qin Huaiyu said to Qin Feng.
When Qin Feng heard what Qin Huaiyu said, he hurriedly got up and walked outside.
"Weichen meets Your Majesty, meets the Queen, and meets Concubine Yang!" Qin Feng saluted to the three people on the steps.
"You developed this? What's the meaning? Li Shimin pointed to the cake and asked Qin Feng.
"Back to Your Majesty, this thing is called cake, it is the teacher taught me to eat, the teacher said that in his hometown, every time someone celebrates his birthday, the relatives of the person who has passed the birthday will prepare a cake for the person who has passed the birthday, representing blessings. Please also ask Your Majesty to cut the first knife for Niangniang, congratulations on Niangniang's happy birthday! Qin Feng said nonsense.
"Haha, what a birthday cake! Come, take my sword! Li Shimin laughed and said.
"Your Majesty!" A small eunuch hurriedly ran to get Li Shimin's saber.
"Your Majesty, the minister also prepared a gift for the mother, it is the perfume and soap made by the minister himself, the perfume is here, and the soap has been sent to the inner warehouse." Qin Feng said to Li Shimin with the perfume in both hands.
Gonggong Li took the perfume from Qin Feng's hand, opened the small silver bottle, and the fragrance of flowers in the bottle instantly covered the three Li Shimin on the steps.
Concubine Yang smiled from ear to ear. Empress Eldest Sun's eyes were a little envious, Qin Feng glanced at it, and instantly understood that as the saying goes, the three luxury goods that women love the most: jewelry, bags and perfumes, I can't imagine that this will not be exempt from vulgarity. took out another bottle of perfume from his bosom and said to Empress Changsun: "Queen Mother, the minister has also prepared a bottle of perfume for you today, and I hope that Niangniang will not dislike it!" ”
Gonggong Li took the perfume from Qin Feng's hand and handed it to Empress Changsun, who opened it and smelled something different from just now. Then he opened his mouth and smelled:
"Hey, it doesn't taste the same!"
"Back to the queen, this bottle in your hand is rose-scented, and Concubine Yang's hand is clove-scented!"
The eldest grandson and Concubine Yang sniffed it well, and it was indeed the same as Qin Feng said, and at this time, the little eunuch walked in with Li Shimin's knife. Li Shimin stepped down from the stage and cut the cake with a knife. Cut two pieces from the top of the peach and put them on the side of the plate. Throwing the knife to Qin Feng next to him, he said to Qin Feng: "Qin Feng, cut me into big pieces!" ”。 Turning around, he took the plate from Gonggong Li's hand, and went up the steps to hand it to Empress Changsun and Qin Feng.
Qin Feng held the knife in his hand with a stunned expression, and everyone in the hall was also blindsided by Li Shimin's entire actions. The crown prince and other juniors looked at Qin Feng with envy, Qin Qiong and the other generals were pleased, and the officials of the family gritted their teeth a little.
Li Shimin handed the cake to the two girls, turned around and saw that Qin Feng was still stunned, so he said to Qin Feng: "Qin Feng, what are you doing in a daze, don't you cut a cake for me?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qin Feng was awakened by Li Shimin, and hurriedly cut the cake with a knife. In his heart, he was thinking, this cake cut is either Li Shimin himself, or Li Ke, his own son, how could it be his turn. But the hand is not slow, and it is cut in an instant and put into the plate prepared by Gonggong Li next to him.
"Keep cutting, cut a piece for everyone in the hall!" Li Shimin said to Qin Feng while eating the cake that had already tested the poison.
"Your Majesty!" Qin Feng had no choice but to pick up the knife in his hand and divide the cake, while the little eunuch took a plate and waited for Qin Feng to cut the cake to be sent to the princes and ministers and nobles in the palace.
Qin Feng cut it for a full quarter of an hour before he finished cutting the entire huge cake, thinking that he would not let Li Ke make it so big in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
"Your Majesty, your sword!" Qin Feng held a knife in both hands and said to Li Shimin, who was watching the song and dance.
Li Shimin looked at the saber covered with cream, and had no intention of taking it back at all, and said to Qin Feng: "I've rewarded you!" ”
After Li Shimin said this, the ministers were a little uneasy, I don't know what Li Shimin meant, but it is not suitable to speak out on this occasion. And the younger generation of the prince, Li Ke and others looked at Qin Feng with envy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Feng put away his saber and walked towards his position in the envy of everyone.
The banquet lasted for more than half an hour, and Li Shimin took Empress Changsun and others back to the palace, while the rest of the ministers began to leave.
Qin Feng was about to leave with Qin Huaiyu and the others with a knife, when Gonggong Li, who was beside Li Shimin, walked towards Qin Feng: "Gongzi Qin, Your Majesty is invited!" ”
Qin Qiong nodded at Qin Feng, and left with Qin Huaiyu first, while Qin Feng followed Gonggong Li all the way to the gate of the Ganlu Hall with the saber rewarded by Li Shimin.
"Report to Your Majesty, Qin Feng has been brought!" Gonggong Li shouted into the door.
"Bring it in!" Li Shimin's voice came from inside.
Qin Feng followed Gonggong Li into the hall and found that Li Shimin's family was there.
"The minister meets His Majesty, the Queen, Concubine Yang, and His Royal Highness the Prince. Before Qin Feng could finish his visit, Li Shimin interrupted.
"Alright, excuse me!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Qin Feng, this palace asks you, you have taken Ke'er to use as a subordinate in Qinzhuang these days, running errands for you, is there such a thing?" Empress Eldest Sun asked angrily towards Qin Feng.
"The queen mother, the son...
"Shut up!"
Li Ke was about to step forward to speak, but Empress Eldest Sun said directly to Li Ke. Li Ke had no choice but to keep silent. Qin Feng was confused, where is this? What's the situation, how can it be such a big crime!
"Back to the queen, the minister is wronged!" Qin Feng directly reported Qu.
"Really? Where is it wronged? The eldest grandson asked at Qin Feng.
"Back to the queen mother, a few of our juniors have nothing to do, so we are ready to do some business, His Royal Highness King Wu as a shareholder, there is no problem with checking his factory, right?" Qin Feng said to Empress Changsun.
"Oh? Ke'er has also learned to do business? Empress Changsun looked at Li Ke and teased in a weird way: "I don't know how much money Ke'er has earned this month?" ”
"Erchen... Li Ke was stunned, he didn't make any money, how to say this.
"Back to the queen, now our industry has just started construction, most of them have not yet started to make a profit, only the soap earned more than 6,200 yuan last month, and the minister is preparing to call King Wu and others to go to the house tomorrow to receive dividends!" Qin Feng said to Empress Changsun and helped Li Ke relieve the siege.
"Six thousand?" Li Shimin is not calm when he hears it, so much? You must know that the entire palace has a lot of shops in Chang'an, and you can't make so much money in a month. So his inner library is always tight, and even the amount of money he gives to each concubine is only a few dozen times a month.
