Chapter 39: Incense Powder

Zhang Erzhen sighed: "I naturally know that they are just two minions, but this is also a panic in my heart, Sister Qin is fine, there is a mother to watch and protect, this courtyard is like an iron fence, even a mosquito can't fly in, how can it be like me, under my hands every day is like this in Cao Ying's heart in Han's master." ”

Wang Xiangqin suddenly made a loud alarm bell, and said tentatively: "You mean that there are a lot of people in our palace who eat like that?"

Zhang Erzhen said with a smile: "Sister Qin also needs to be more careful, when I came, except for Fang Jing, where did everyone else go?" Sister Qin's identity is different from mine, presumably ...... "There must be many people who want to explore Ziyun Pavilion."

Wang Xiangqin almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth, "Sister Zhen is right, no one can be careless, if there is really that kind of eating inside and outside, I won't give up, it's light to pick up a layer of his skin." I also advised my sister that a good heart is not a good thing, and in the end it is not a wedding dress for others. ”

Zhang Erzhen nodded meaningfully, and Wang Xiangqin continued: "Now in this palace, in addition to Wan Guifei, even if you have to be a concubine, you have to be favored. Like Concubine Shao, Concubine Jing, Concubine Rou, Ling Jieyu and other old people, we don't have to be afraid of them. Now that the prince's position is stable, can they still turn over the flowers? As long as you and I work together to suppress Wan Xian'er, it won't be you and me in the future?"

Zhang Erzhen nodded again and again, and her true feelings and hatred couldn't shout like an oath: I am willing to share weal and woe with you! Wang Xiangqin is naturally very satisfied with Zhang Erzhen's knowledge of current affairs, in the past, Zhang Erzhen had the upper hand because of the prince's favor, but now that the favor is not there, Zhang Erzhen is naturally no longer qualified to be on an equal footing with her. Wang Xiangqin forced herself to forget Zhang Erzhen's original arrogance, and tried to communicate with Zhang Erzhen as peacefully as possible. Obviously, Zhang Erzhen, who fell out of favor, also quickly found her position, otherwise she would have to work hard again.

When Zhang Erzhen left the Purple Cloud Pavilion, she carried a small box in her arms. After returning to Ningyun Pavilion, he hurriedly called Mama Hua and the nurse, and the three of them closed the door tightly. As the box opened, a bottle of white porcelain willow leaf jar appeared in front of him. Mama Hua looked at it for a while, and couldn't see why, Zhang Erzhen wrapped her hand with a handkerchief, and opened the bottle mouth while pinching the willow leaf-shaped lid, the aroma was a little stronger, Zhang Erzhen smiled: "This is the incense powder from the Western Regions, Concubine Qin said that a woman smells this thing for a long time, and she can't conceive a child." ”

Hearing this, the nurse hurriedly snatched the bottle with her bare hands, and moved back a few big steps, with a defensive face, what a shrewd person Hua Mama was, she immediately thought of the usefulness of this thing, and asked, "Concubine Qin wants you to give this thing to the crown princess?" I think this matter is risky, and I can't easily agree to it. After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Erzhen with some resentment, and pulled Zhang Erzhen away from the bottle a few inches.

Zhang Erzhen wiped her hands with a handkerchief and smiled: "It's dangerous to leave this kind of good thing with her, it's better for me to take it, I can't use it at this time, and I will always use it in the future." But she is right in what she said, if the crown princess is really pregnant with a dragon heir......"

"Don't say that the crown princess is not pregnant yet, even if she is really pregnant, it is not our turn to do it, and some people want to deal with her. Mama Hua's face was gloomy, if a woman in the palace wants to have a child, it has to be the right time, place and people, and it can't do anything without it! Zhang Erzhen also thought about it, a little frightened, and said curiously: "The prince was raised until he was six years old, and the saint only knew that there was such a prince." In all these years, no children have been born in this palace?"

"Except for the eldest princess who was born healthy, the eldest prince who died young, and the mourning prince from Wan Guifei, no child was born in those years. Now think about it, in those years, the women in this palace, the most afraid is to be pregnant, all the pregnant women, either died of dystocia, or slippery fetus sudden death, the saint was furious, the unlucky ones were the servants who served, the people in that array, they had to change a batch every few days, and the errand of the Huanyi Bureau was more surgent than the errand of serving the mothers. Mama Hua still seems to have palpitations, and the nurse is also afraid for a while, thinking of the days of licking blood from the knife edge, she can't help but feel sad, in the six years of taking care of the prince, how can she sleep peacefully?

Harem, what a ...... , Zhang Erzhen feels that this harem is much more dangerous than the palace fighting TV series she has watched, the situation of the Three Kingdoms is stable, and what she is most afraid of is that one person is holding a machine gun, and the rest are holding spears, which is not on the same level at all, let alone winning or losing," ...... But will the prince allow the pregnant Wan Xian'er to have an accident?" Zhu Youzhi has been competing for favor in the harem for many years, and he doesn't know how to use those tricks, as long as he is willing to protect it, Wan Xian'er will definitely not have an accident.

Mama Hua was disapproving: "Concubine Ji doesn't need to worry, Concubine Ji's life was lost to Concubine Wan, how could the prince let the ten families give birth to an heir." I also thought about why the prince is now fond of the crown princess, but I always feel that it is not sincere. Concubine Wan Guifei hurt the prince and hurt Concubine Ji, and the prince would never have any concerns about the Wan family. Even if he really has an heir, he will never be born. ”

Zhang Erzhen also thinks so, but what will make Zhu Youzhu willingly sing with Wan Xian'er night and night? There are strange things in it, and the three of them know it. But where the weirdness is, it's a clue. The nurse put the bottle back into the box, and Zhang Erzhen said: "Go and invite Mama Miao, this thing can't be used like this, I have to make sure that this incense powder has any other use." ”

Mama Hua nodded again and again, and she had to go to find her old friend herself.

This time, Mama Miao came very slowly, wearing a long gown dressed in ochre brown, her white hair was meticulously combed behind her head, and she saluted neatly, Zhang Erzhen hurriedly invited Mama Miao to sit down, and the nurse closed the door tightly, and then opened the layers of boxes and put them on the small table on Mama Miao's side. Mama Miao opened the box with her bare hands, took out the bottle, poured out some white powder, dragged a little bit of the index finger of her right hand and put it on the tip of her nose to smell it carefully, watching Mama Miao's complexion gradually become serious, Zhang Erzhen knew that the effect of this incense powder would not be simple, only to hear Mama Miao said: "The fragrance is overflowing, the heart is soothing and the spleen is relaxed, the smell is refreshing, the ears and eyes are clear, if it is used in women's balm, the skin is beautiful and white, and it can make the skin delicate and more than before." ”

"On the other hand?" asked Zhang Erzhen.

Mama Miao nodded with satisfaction, and smiled at Zhang Erzhen's carefulness: "Things must be reversed, and everything is like this." This thing can benefit women, and naturally it can also harm women, in addition to being able to give birth again, it will only be used for three months, and it will be gray hair, and the old state will be fully revealed, and the medicine stone will be spiritual. ”

Not only Zhang Erzhen, but also Mama Hua and the nurse were also shocked, only to hear Mama Miao continue: "This thing can also make people addictive, once it is used on the face, it will be allergic if it is not stained for one day, it will be spotted if it is not stained for two days, and it will ulcerate if it is not stained for three days." This kind of poison, the old slave has not seen it for decades, and having this thing in the palace can be regarded as opening the old slave's eyes again. Mama Miao sealed the bottle and put it back in the box, wiped her hand on the handkerchief a few times at will, looked at Zhang Erzhen with a frightened expression and smiled: "Concubine Miao doesn't have to be nervous, if you haven't touched this thing, it's harmless, it's okay to smell it." ”

"Mama, you just touched ......"

"The old slave's rough hands, I haven't touched anything, it's the corpse that has just been fished out of the well, and the old slave has also touched it, this idea is really not to be afraid of. Mama Miao's face was light and breezy to Zhang Erzhen's admiration, Zhang Erzhen hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea and sent it over, and asked very doggedly: "Mama Miao is really powerful, I don't know what Mama thinks, if this thing is not used in my hands, wouldn't it be a waste." ”

Miao Mama said: "Things are naturally not good things, and they can't be used indiscriminately." The imperial doctors in the palace are not idle, and they still don't know this idea? ”

"This is what Mama said very much, but wouldn't it be a waste to put this kind of thing in my hands without using it, and please show Mama a clear way. Zhang Erzhen smiled flatteringly, Mama Miao is a person in Wu Niangniang's palace, and she can be regarded as a person all the way, this body of Dao bone fairy wind is really a master, Zhang Erzhen trusts her very much.

Mama Miao didn't answer Zhang Erzhen's words directly, she looked around, there were only four people in the room, Zhang Erzhen understood, and said: "Mama has something to say, there are no outsiders in this room." ”

Mama Miao nodded with satisfaction and said, "When the old slave came, Wu Niangniang had something to ask me to bring to the side concubine, and after noon the day after tomorrow, the side concubine must go to Fengzao Palace." ”

As soon as she heard Fengzao Palace, Zhang Erzhen trembled reflexively, the memories of the last time were so bad, how could she want to rush to find trouble, and asked tentatively: "Wu Niangniang didn't say what she wanted me to do? Concubine Wan didn't summon me, I went like this, she wouldn't want to see me, right?"

Mama Miao said: "Since it is Wu Niangniang, you still listen well, Wu Niangniang will never harm the side concubine." The old slave will tell you a confidant, now in this palace, those who can really think about the prince and plan for the prince are not others except Wu Niangniang, and he thinks about it again. ”

Mama Hua was also a little unstable, and said hurriedly: "Old sister, can you hide your head and tail like this, what kind of place is that in Fengzao Palace, the one in Fengzao Palace is now in full swing, and the side concubine has gone and never returned, right?"

Zhang Erzhen nodded thoughtfully, Wu Niangniang suddenly asked her to go to Fengzao Palace, of course she was afraid. Mama Miao still had an unfathomable face, "Don't be afraid, Wu Niangniang wants you to go, she will naturally ensure your safety, as for the rest, I can't say much about the old slave." ”

Zhang Erzhen finally struggled and said, "Do you really have to go?"

Mama Miao nodded ruthlessly, got up and said: "The old slave's task is completed, the old slave has to go back to his life, just forget about it, as for this thing, ......" Mama Miao glanced at the box, "This thing, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to use it." ”

Zhang Erzhen was helpless, after sending away Mama Miao, the nurse cautiously took the box into her arms, and was about to find a place to hide it, Zhang Erzhen thought for a while and said: "Nurse, change the things in the bottle, put the pearl powder sent by Concubine Shao a few days ago, and let Mingyue send it to Qingyun Pavilion at night, along with the box, of course, you have to let the people of Ziyun Pavilion see it clearly." The nurse agreed very simply, and was busy preparing. This thing can't touch the side concubine, so it's better to take it out quickly. Mama Hua, who stayed behind, was dissatisfied: "This Mama Miao, the older you get, the more cautious you become, and the Fengzao Palace is also a place where you can go casually......?"
