After seeing Li Su's first gift, everyone had a feeling of impatience for his second gift, and several eldest princesses urged Li Su to open the gift quickly, and under the attention of everyone, Li Su picked up the second brocade box, walked to Concubine Yang and put it on the table, then opened the lid and said: "Mother, please see, this is Erchen's second birthday gift." ”

"What is this?" Concubine Yang looked at the things in the box, and it was another thing that she couldn't understand, only to see that the box was based on silk, and there were three very delicate crystal bottles in a row, and the color of each bottle was different, the big one was light green, about the size of an adult's palm, and the two small ones were one purple and one red, only half the size of the big bottle, and the three bottles contained liquid of different colors Chapter 73 Fireworks Brilliant Body, I don't know what it was for?

Concubine Yang took out the three bottles first and looked at them, but she didn't see any results, and the surroundings, including Li Shimin, were also puzzled, and they didn't know what was in the bottles? In the end, they could only look at Li Su together.

"Hehe, father, mother, this is a new bottle of flower water and two bottles of perfume made by the son." Li Su said and picked up the purple bottle, and then opened the crystal lid on it, and a clear, mellow orchid fragrance slowly diffused, the first to smell was Concubine Yang and Li Shimin, and then the eldest princess and princess who were nearby, these beauty-loving women snorted one by one, staring at the bottle in Li Su's hand with their eyes shining.

"Mother, this bottle is an essential oil extracted from orchids, and then mixed with several other spices, and then dissolved with alcohol to make a perfume, and the other bottle is a perfume with the fragrance of acacia flowers, these two perfumes taste elegant and pure, and the temperament of the mother is the most compatible!" After Li Su finished speaking, he bowed down to offer the perfume in his hand, and Concubine Yang took it with a look of surprise and gently inhaled the elegant fragrance of orchids.

And Li Su took the opportunity to step forward and instructed Concubine Yang to dip the perfume a little with the small seventy-third chapter fireworks brilliant brush on the lid, and then apply it to the wrists, behind the ears and on the neck, and then Concubine Yang proudly walked a few steps in front of Li Shimin and several eldest princesses, and immediately made them feel a fragrance of orchids, coupled with Concubine Yang's dusty posture, it looked like a fairy in the legendary flowers. Several eldest princesses and those princesses who were already adults couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately stood up and surrounded Concubine Yang, snatching the perfume from Concubine Yang's hands with both soft and hard methods, vying to hold the perfume in their hands so that they could have a look.

"Rokuro, you will please your mother, this perfume is several times stronger than the commonly used incense, just a little bit, it makes people exude such an elegant and charming fragrance, it is indeed a rare and good gift." Li Shimin looked at Concubine Yang and said with a smile, the Tang people were influenced by the legacy of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and incense was very popular, and both men and women liked to make themselves fragrant. Perfume is more convenient than incense, and the effect is stronger, so it was appreciated by Li Shimin.

"Thank you for your father's praise!" Li Su said with a smile, this perfume is much more complicated to make than the crystal mirror, because due to the influence of the season, there are not many flowers for him to choose, and in order to concoct a perfume that can be kept for a long time, Li Su spent a lot of money to hire a few spice concoction masters from the people, and it took more than half a month to finalize the two perfumes, which is also thanks to the fact that the Tang people like incense, so the experience in spice concoction is very sophisticated, so the perfume can be done in such a short time.

At this moment, Qinghe and Gao Yang suddenly ran up and surrounded Li Su, and said coquettishly: "Sixth brother, you usually love us the most, can you give us the perfume and crystal mirror?" ”

Li Su was a little crying and laughing, thinking how old these little girls are, and now they know how beautiful they are? But seeing that they pretended to be pitiful, they couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, okay, hurry up and let go of my clothes, the perfume can be made and given to you, but the crystal mirror is a little difficult, and I finally found such a big crystal, and only one piece was polished." ”

"Wow~, sixth brother, you are so good, thank you sixth brother!" A few little girls didn't have much hope, after all, in their eyes, perfume and mirrors are hard to buy, even if the sixth brother is generous, he will not give them so easily, but he didn't expect the sixth brother to agree to give them perfume, and he was happy and immediately cheered.

"You little girls, hurry up and go back and sit down, your sixth brother still has one last gift to offer." Li Shimin also doted on his daughters very much, and drove them back with a smile. Then Li Shimin walked to Concubine Yang's side again, made the decision for Li Su without authorization, and after agreeing to give them a bottle of perfume for each of them, he persuaded several of his sisters and daughters to go back.

"Rokuro, is this flower water the same as perfume?" Concubine Yang asked with some heartache, she was holding the perfume she had finally snatched back, but this bottle was nearly half missing, and those eldest princesses and princesses were all scented one by one.

"Mother, there is a difference between this flower water and perfume, because the weather is hot now, and mosquitoes are more rampant, so Erchen made some flower water and applied it to his body to avoid mosquito bites." Li Su smiled. These days, he is suffering from mosquito bites, there are many rivers around Chang'an, and no one pays attention to killing mosquitoes, so the whole Chang'an is plagued by mosquitoes, not to mention him, the king of Liang, even Li Shimin is often bitten by mosquitoes. So Li Su has long wanted to make the flower water, this time to celebrate his mother's birthday, he specially asked Sun Simiao, a big countryman, to help dispense the medicine, and then added some fragrant herbs, and finally made the Tang version of the flower water, although the ingredients are very different from those commonly used in later generations, but Li Su once did an experiment and found that the effect of mosquito repellent is very good, so he offered it.

"Oh, that's a good thing!" Li Shimin is obviously more interested in flower water than perfume, after listening to Li Su's explanation, he took the large bottle of flower water in his hand and looked at it carefully, then opened it and smelled it, and found that although the taste was not as charming as perfume, it also had a strange aroma.

"The concubine is in the palace every day, and there is a way to prevent mosquito bites, but His Majesty is busy with the court every day, but he suffers from mosquito bites every day. Concubine Yang thought that there were always mosquito bites on Li Shimin's body these days, so she wanted to give the flower water to Li Shimin.

"No, this is Liulang's heart for you as a mother, I'm a big man, what is there when I get bitten by mosquitoes, but my concubine's skin is delicate, don't let those mosquitoes bite you!" Li Shimin felt Concubine Yang's concern, and his mood was excited, and no matter what the occasion, he actually said such a sensual word, which made Concubine Yang's face slightly red, and several eldest princesses around him also snickered.

Li Su didn't expect Li Shimin to be so old and so passionate, afraid that he would say anything to make his mother shy, so he immediately stepped forward and said: "Father, you can accept this bottle of flower water, it is not very difficult to make, but it took a lot of time to make the formula in the early stage, and I will make some more for my mother in two days." ”

Hearing his son say this, coupled with Concubine Yang's persuasion, Li Shimin couldn't refuse, he put away the flower water very happily, and then smiled at Li Su: "Liulang, what is your third gift, my father can't wait." ”

"Father, the son wants to ask everyone to move outside the palace, because this gift can only be seen outside the palace." Li Su replied a little mysteriously.

"Oh? Okay, let's go outside the palace with me and Concubine Yang to see what Liulang is preparing? Li Shimin was very interested, and after seeing Li Su's first two gifts, the people around him were also curious about the third gift, so they got up one after another and followed Li Shimin to the outside of the hall. Li Chengqian and Li Tai saw that Li Yu was so favored, although they were a little unhappy in their hearts, but they also came to the hall with everyone, only the fifth Li You was still sitting on the seat, looking very unsociable.

After everyone came to the outside of the hall, they saw Li Su taking a round bucket with an arm thickness of two or three feet from the hand of the attendant, could this be the gift prepared by Li Su? However, under the suspicious gaze of everyone, Li Su took the incense stick from the attendant, and then lit a lead at the end of the long barrel, aiming the other end at the sky.

Under everyone's gaze, the lead with green smoke quickly burned into the long barrel, and then there was a muffled sound of '呒~' in the long barrel, and an incandescent flash erupted from the other end, and it flew up to a height of more than ten zhang in the blink of an eye, and then exploded with a "boom", as if a lightning appeared in the sky.

Then Li Su grinned and threw the long bucket aside, and turned his head to look at the people who were in a daze. Li Shimin and they are also wondering, is this the birthday gift prepared by Li Su, although this barrel emitted a lightning-like light, which made everyone startled, but this is inevitably a little too simple, right?

Just when everyone was wondering, suddenly there was a muffled thunderous sound in the distance, and then a flash of light rose from a distance, the speed was very fast at the beginning, but the slower the speed at the end, when it rose to the highest place, the flash suddenly exploded, and there seemed to be a gorgeous lotus flower blooming in the dark sky, reflecting the whole sky red, this lotus flower stayed in the sky for a few seconds, and then suddenly made a 'crackling' explosion, the whole flower burst out of the last gorgeous, and then disappeared into the sky.

But before Li Shimin and the others woke up from the shock, they seemed to be woken up by this firework in the distance, one after another muffled thunder, and then flashes of light rose one after another, and then one after another beautiful flowers bloomed in the sky, these fireworks were purple and red in different colors, and the styles were also different, sometimes like golden chrysanthemums; Sometimes it blooms like a peony; Some of them even look like some kind of animals, which makes everyone's hearts sway.

Such a strange scene in the sky, not only made Li Shimin and them fascinated, and even the entire Chang'an City people were shocked by the magnificent scenery in the sky, many superstitious people even thought that there were gods descending to earth, and they knelt down to pray to the gods, and in the blink of an eye, the incense in Chang'an City was flourishing, and more people were stunned to look at the wonders in the sky, their minds were blank, and they couldn't figure out whether they were in the mortal world or the fairyland for a while?!!!
