(Here's an explanation.)

There are a total of six hot springs recorded in the Taiji Palace, one is the East Palace and the West Pond Courtyard, which is also the prince's hot spring.

The other two are in Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province respectively, and are used as members of the five grades or above, and are used for bathing on major festivals or before and after the banquet given by the Son of Heaven. At the same time, it will also be the place where the dust washing ceremony of the military generals returning from the expedition is held - for the Tang people, it is also possible to drink alcohol in the hot spring. Legend has it that the contemporary Japanese like to drink alcohol while soaking in hot springs, which originated from the custom of people in the Tang Dynasty to wash the dust of friends or relatives who have returned from a long distance in the hot springs, and drink two glasses of wine at the same time to show that they will not be able to get rid of the cold.

The other two are only available in the emperor's imperial bedroom, the west side hall and the back bedroom.

Originally, the back bed was opened in the Manna Temple. As I said before, the Ganlu Hall is the back bed of the serious child, but later the back bed became the Lizheng Palace, and the Lizheng Hall happened to be located on the hot spring vein, so in the early years of Zhenguan, Taizong ordered the Inner Division to open a hot spring in the Lizheng Palace, which was specially used for the eldest grandson queen and a few children.

Therefore, there were only five spring pools in the Taiji Palace or Daxing Palace at the earliest, and later it became six, and it has been used. ）

Li Zhi was really tired, so he went into the West Side Hall early to change clothes, and after replacing the bath silk, he first entered the pool and soaked it for a while, and then went out of the pool and cleaned it in the barrel, and the top and bottom were comfortable.

In a wall compartment, Ming An had already prepared things, took two eunuchs, and waited for Li Zhi to sit in the pool and stabilize, so he carefully untied the golden crown hosta for Li Zhi, carefully put down his hair in a golden basin filled with warm water, took the fragrant bath bean powder, and carefully cleaned his black hair like oil.

(Let me explain here again that when you took a hot spring in the early Tang Dynasty, you didn't jump in directly naked.) Instead, you have to put on a silk bath cloth, which is a tulle towel-like thing, and then soak in the pool, wait until it is soaked through, and then come out, and carefully scrub it in a large wooden barrel with clean hot spring water, mixed with bath bean flour, or some other soybean flour mixed with spices, and then rinse it again, and then put on the bath cloth and continue to soak in the pool for a while.

Only then can you appear on TV, sprinkle flower petals in the hot spring pool to add fragrance and relax. And the idea of sprinkling flower petals only applies to women. Most of the high-ranking men of high status, such as officials, lit a stick of incense in something that could float on the surface of the water, similar to a wooden basin, to relieve their fatigue. Therefore, some Tang legends will say that a famous Tangquan Pond Garden in the capital, which is similar to today's SPA clubs or very high-end hot spring recuperation centers, is only floating on the water surface of a place where a relatively high-end upper-class person spa or something. That's it.

However, Li Zhi is the Son of Heaven, and people will not go to the hot spring pond garden like today's hot spring recuperation center, and they have their own private hot springs, so naturally this incense stove is standing around the hot springs, as well as the central one. ）

Ning Shen adjusted quietly for a while, then he smelled the aroma in the tip of his nose, and changed another taste, Li Zhi sniffed lightly twice, and then said with a smile:

"Today, this spice is very refreshing and very soothing. I don't know who tuned it? ”

Ryan was happy when he heard that Li Zhi liked it, and he was quite happy when he looked at De'an, who said:

"Back to the Lord, it's Su'er."

"Su'er?"

Li Zhi was a little surprised, and looked at De'an, who was slightly red, and said:

"I remember if I didn't ask her to go to the Ministry of Internal Service to be a female weaver? Why is it that she has even learned this spice now? ”

Dean pursed his lips and smiled, and then said:

"Back to the Lord, a few days ago, the Great Qin Kingdom (the name of ancient Rome in the Tang Dynasty) came to the envoy, and also brought two female officials with him, do you remember the lord?"

Li Zhi nodded.

Dean looked at him and nodded, and then said:

Speaking of fate, the two female officials, somehow, made a special contract with Su'er, so they handed over the new flowers they brought from the Great Qin Kingdom to Su'er, and also gave her some incense made of these flowers. It is said that the name of this flower is Lingxiang, and the spirit of tranquility is the best. Su Er was overjoyed, and after finding someone to try it, she hurriedly asked for the life of the prince and offered it to you. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said with satisfaction:

"Spirit Vanilla...... Good name. Sure enough, this fragrance went straight into the spiritual platform, calming the mind and settling down. In the past, I always felt that those sandalwood genres, although they were calming, always gave me some headaches. But the fragrance is not disturbing at all, and it does not cause headaches. Okay, let's go to the inner division to cultivate more, and see if it can be done! ”

De'an sighed and said:

"Back to the Lord, Su'er also tried to plant this thing, but for some reason, it was not adapted to the soil and water, and it could not survive again. A few days ago, I heard that a certain place in Duhufu (Xinjiang area) is quite similar to Daqin, so I took two seeds or went to try it. If you can, then you can always teach the master to use it every day! Fortunately, spices are also used only when the flowers are dry. ”

Li Zhi also nodded.

If you are a master and servant, you say a word, and after talking for a while, I suddenly saw a little eunuch hurriedly come in and whisper a few words to Wang De.

Immediately, Wang De nodded slightly.

(-- Note, Spirit Herb, is today's lavender)

Li Zhi saw it at a glance, and didn't pay much attention to it, just tilted his head slightly, handed over the white jade whisk dust to his brother De'an to hold, folded his sleeves, and personally took the jade ear scratch (scratch, which is a complete set of grooming tools in Tang Shi) from the hand of the little supervisor Minghe on one side. Ear scratching is a later ear picking spoon and the like. In addition, there is a more famous jade scratch, which is the later jade scratch. ), carefully cleaning the left ear for Li Zhi.

His strength was extremely smooth, and Li Zhi was also so comfortable that he squinted, so he lazily asked Wang Dedao, who stepped forward:

"But Sister Xu, what's the disbelief there?"

Wang De smiled and crossed his hands to hug the dust and saluted:

"The Lord is wise. Just now, Concubine Xu replied, saying that Miss Wu had already taken the thing, and she knew what was going on, and even arranged Xu Jieyu's future path. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhi's left ear was also cleaned, so he turned his head and asked Ryan to clean his right ear, and said with a smile:

"Mei Niang really regards this Suqin surnamed Xu as her surname Yuan...... That's it! This child stays in the palace, and she is also not at ease. The master is also not at ease. Send her out of the palace earlier, and I will not have to worry about it. Let her go! ”
