Queen Chu covered her mouth and chuckled: "The prince praised it, but the queen was disrespectful." ”

"This is the right thing, please see this second thing for the queen." Tian Jiandao.

"The second piece?" Queen Chu showed an interested look, and stretched her body forward slightly.

After the second temple man gently opened the box in his hand, a fragrance instantly spread to the entire palace. This fragrance is different from the fragrance of ordinary fat powder, and it is also different from the fragrance of flowers.

Just as Tian Jian was about to explain, Queen Chu took a deep sniff of the fragrance, fanned the tip of her nose with her hand, and said slowly: "Rong Benhou guess, is this treasure the fragrance of the legendary dragon Yanzhi, it is rumored that this treasure has the effect of calming the mind and calming the nerves, but this incense is only hidden in the treasury of the Qi State, and it is rare for ordinary people to see it." ”

"The queen is beautiful and beautiful, and the judgment of this fragrance is also unique, yes, this is ambergris, there are dragons in the waters of the Huaihai Sea for decades, and there is no one in a hundred to carry this incense, this piece of incense is collected by fishermen when King Xuan, and it has been nearly a hundred years." Tian Jiandao.

Ambergris is actually a sperm whale secretion, because it fails to digest the beak bones of squid and octopus, and will form a solid bond with the secretions in the intestine before spitting out. Freshly spit ambergris is dark and soft, with an unpleasant smell, but it hardens, fades and emits a fragrance after years of washing by sun, air and seawater, and can be used to make perfumes.

During the Warring States period, people did not master the method of catching whales, and at one time thought that it was a legendary dragon, and the wind and clouds changed color in a rage, and the sea was tidal, and only when the whales were trapped in shallow water, fishermen went to catch them.

In "Erya. There is a passage in "Wings": "Whales, big fish in the sea." Its large horizontal sea swallows boats, and the cave is at the bottom of the sea. Out of the hole is overflowing, called the whale tide, or out of the tide on the tide, into the tide down; Its entry and exit are knotted, so the whale tide is sometimes. ”

"Liezi Tang Wen". The text said: "In the north of the end of the north, there is the Minghai Sea, the Tianchi is also, there is a fish, its width is thousands of miles, its length is called Yan, and its name is Kun." Later in the Zhuangzi, this legend was also quoted. Zhuang Zhou said in his "Zhuangzi - Leisurely Travel": "There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. ”

The ancients were disrespectful, and took their whale salamanders and sealed them, thinking that they were killed. - Spring and Autumn. Zuo Qiu Ming's "Left Biography. The Twelfth Year of Xuan Gong

It can be seen that in the Spring and Autumn Period and even throughout ancient China, ambergris was a treasure that could not be found.

"The piece of incense sent by the prince, the queen likes it very much, thank you to the prince, and the female official took it for the palace to see." Queen Chu smiled, her white fingertips tapped her red lips, and the ten-fingered dankou contrasted with the snow-white, looking extremely charming.

Tian Jian also seemed to have been hooked, his eyes were a little misty, but fortunately, he had seen many beautiful stars in his later life, but he was shocked for a while, and immediately recovered his heart, but he still lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Queen Chu.

The female official next to the queen walked up to Tian Jian, bowed to Tian Jian, and said, "I've seen the prince." ”

Tian Jian nodded slightly, and motioned to the temple people to hand over the ambergris to the female official.

Queen Chu took a closer look at the ambergris, this ambergris turned brown, she gently scraped it from it with her long nails, and the brown powder entered the nostrils of the queen of Chu, and her face immediately showed an intoxicated color.

"It is rumored that this ambergris is more expensive than gold, so the prince gave it to the queen so easily?" Queen Chu chuckled lightly, waved her right hand at the female official, and motioned for her to stand down.

Tian Jian said to Queen Chu: "Queen Rong understands, I came all the way from Qi to marry, and the poetry of Wei Fengshuo said: The hands are like soft wattles, the skin is like clotted fat, the collar is like a grub, the teeth are like a rhinoceros, the head of the mantis is eyebrows, the smile is smiling, and the eyes are beautiful." In the next view, the queen is captivating the city and the country, from this water and soil, if you can find a woman with a woman's posture and appearance of one-tenth of the queen, it is not in vain. The two are allied by Qi and Chu, and only when Qi and Chu are united with each other can they survive in the gap between Zhao and Qin. “

The queen of Chu covered her mouth and chuckled, patted her chest with her little hand, and said lightly: "This is looking for a beautiful woman, this woman of Chu is a water spirit, but if you want to form an alliance, this queen is just a woman's family, how can I help you." ”

After finishing speaking, Queen Chu showed pity in her eyes, and said regretfully: "Female official, return these things to the prince!" ”

Tian Jian's eyes showed a panicked look: "Queen, may I ask what this means?" In the next country where she wants to come to Chu to marry, why did the queen refuse to be kind to her. ”

However, Tian Jian was already constantly guessing in his heart about the queen of Chu's motive for doing this, could it be that the Qin State came to make the Chu State and wanted to prevent the Qi State from forming an alliance with the Chu State, or was there another reason?

Queen Chu shook her head and said: "Your Highness has a deep meaning, and the queen should know it, but this national major event must not be interfered with." ”

"The queen, Tian Jian's heart, can show the sun and the moon, this gift, for marrying, for admiring the queen's national color, this national event is just the end of the end, and I hope the queen will see it." Tian Jian looked up at Queen Chu's charming eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head again.

As soon as the words fell, Queen Chu's face immediately showed a flush, after all, King Chu was already old, and Tian Jian was so handsome, if Queen Chu was not moved, it would be false!

Usually in the deep palace, the king of Chu was worried that his red apricot would go out of the wall, so the attendants arranged for him to Zhang Huatai were all old and frail, or ugly people.

For the praise of handsome men, ordinary women are difficult to resist, and Tian Jian is also blessed by the dazzling aura of the prince of Qi.

"Then Benhou is willing to accept this treasure, but Benhou will not interfere in this national event." Queen Chu replied with a slightly blushing face.

Tian Jian's eyes immediately showed joy, like the kind of love that the woman he liked promised him. "After thanking the queen, Tian Jian will definitely remember his kindness and repay him with his body." Reciprocate these four words with your own heart!

"Reciprocate? What the hell is this prince doing, doesn't this guy like Benhou, won't he! I'm going to introduce my daughter to her! Could it be that Ben is thinking too much? Queen Chu's face became redder and redder, but she used her sleeves to cover up her unbearableness well. She chuckled, and her face returned to flatness:

"Prince, maybe this queen is your mother-in-law? When it's time to be close, you still have to be close! There is no need to repay each other with your body, and you are not a wise son in the future, and you are not a specialist. ”

"It's reckless." Tian Jian lowered his head, the corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile, for a long time, I don't believe that you don't fall for the palace! This hint, I don't believe you don't understand!
