Chapter 186: Go to Taikang Palace to chat
Concubine Xu whispered, "I think it's just a fake name of Tuoyin rhino incense, but this incense is really magical and rare." ”
As she spoke, she opened the carved locket, and a subtle sweet citrus fragrance that was leisurely and distant was instantly filled, and Concubine Xu sniffed it, and suddenly felt relaxed.
Concubine Xu said, "You feel it, right?" It's just a light smell, and if you light this rhino incense, it's even more magical. ”
Put the box on the table, Concubine Xu said, the spice of the rhino incense is taken from a kind of Western Regions sacred wood, the smell of this wood is very different when it is alive and when it is dead, God is in the god if the tree is alive to cut down the wood for incense, the fragrance will fade and dissipate in a moment, if the tree dies naturally after the incense, the fragrance will last, the longer the tree dies, the more difficult the fragrance is to disperse, ignite an inch long piece of wood, can burn for three days, contaminated with the fragrance on the clothes, and will not disperse after washing dozens of times.
What's even more unexpected is that this scent can transport people to another indescribable sacred world, making people feel warm and peaceful.
Its sweet, warm, and mysterious fragrance can be used for purification, healing, blessing, and insect repellent, as well as for meditation and relaxation, and to dispel low moods, lift spirits, and bring good luck.
Concubine Xu said, "You offer this magpie tail incense burner and Yin rhino incense to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will be very happy." ”
Concubine Xiao Xu hurriedly pushed, "Sister can't!" This is what my uncle has worked so hard to find, how can I take the credit from my sister? ”
Concubine Xu smiled softly, "You and my sisters are one and the same, and now that you are in trouble, I should try my best to plan for you." If I'm in trouble, my sister will run for me. Sister, don't push it anymore, let's go to Taikang Palace quickly. ”
Concubine Xu's eyes were red again, and she hugged Concubine Xu's neck and cried and laughed, "It's still my sister who hurts me the most, this emergency is unforgettable." ”
The two of them said that they arrived at Taikang Palace, and asked the palace people to report, and after a while, the palace people came over, full of apologies, "Back to the two mothers, the queen mother has just come back from the Shenming Palace and is unwell, she is taking a nap at this time, please go back today." ”
When Concubine Xu heard that the Queen Mother said that the Queen Mother did not see them, she was suddenly a little anxious, and Concubine Xu looked at her calmly, smiled and apologized to the palace people, "Today's wind is strong, and it is our negligence that the Queen Mother caught the wind." Let's go to the dining hall to pray for the Queen Mother, hoping that the Queen Mother will get better soon. ”
Hearing Concubine Xu say that they went to the dining hall to pray for blessings, the palace people groaned, "If the mother insists on waiting, when the queen mother wakes up, I will pass it on." ”
Concubine Xu curtsied and said, "There is Mama Lao." ”
The two arrived at the dining hall and knelt in the place where they usually sat with the Empress Dowager Xu, and when they saw the palace people leaving, Concubine Xu said uneasily, "Sister, the Empress Dowager is angry, will we do this ......?"
Concubine Xu had already sat down on her knees, closed her eyes and said lightly, "The Queen Mother will always see us." As long as the Queen Mother sees us, everything will be solved. ”
Seeing that her sister was so confident, Concubine Xu finally felt a little relieved, and also sat on her knees and closed her eyes to pray for blessings.
At dinner, the palace people came over and said, "Two mothers, the Queen Mother heard that you are praying in the dining hall, and she is very pleased, but she is really unwell today and does not want to see guests, so the Queen Mother invites the two mothers to come back in three days." ”
Three days later, the two of them arrived at Taikang Palace on time, sat in the side hall and had a cup of tea, and the Queen Mother of the Palace invited the two mothers in.
Concubine Xu respectfully followed behind the palace people, and also walked into the main hall.
Empress Dowager Xu was half-lying on the couch and was closing her eyes to recuperate, listening to the palace people whispering that the two mothers had arrived, she did not open her eyes, for a while, hummed, and after a while, slowly spoke, "The palace was windy that day, I only felt that the headache was unbearable, it was rainy in the past few days, and the old disease of leg pain was also committed, and I couldn't sleep well at night, which was really difficult." ”
Concubine Xu said with concern and worry, "The Queen Mother should take care of her body." It was really a poor arrangement for the concubine to give the queen mother a headache that day, and the concubine was willing to receive the punishment. If the queen mother's leg pain is unbearable, the concubine can come over every day to massage the queen mother. ”
Empress Dowager Xu shook her head and said, "This old disease in this palace is not a medicine stone massage, but it is just a day." ”
Concubine Xu said, "Let the concubine play." Mian'er learned that the Queen Mother was unwell, so she specially entered a magpie tail incense burner for the purpose of worshiping the Buddha, and a box of Yin rhino incense to help the Queen Mother relieve pain. ”
Hearing about Yin rhino incense, Empress Dowager Xu opened her eyes, was surprised, and sneered, "Yin rhino incense is just a record of wild history." ”
Concubine Xu smiled and said, "The Queen Mother might as well give it a try, this Yin rhino incense has the effect of calming the nerves and relieving pain, and the concubine is willing to light incense for the Queen Mother." He tilted his head slightly, "Mian'er, offer the incense." ”
Concubine Xu, who had been cramped and restless beside her, listened to her sister's call, hurriedly took the tray from the maid and put it on the table, presented the incense burner to the Empress Dowager Xu, took a look, and opened the incense box.
The fragrance of the rhino incense suddenly dispersed, and the Empress Dowager Xu was surprised, "It's really fragrant." Just smelling this, the pain in this palace suddenly decreased a lot. ”
Concubine Xu said, "Yin rhino incense is very suitable for purifying the surroundings and oneself, helping to improve the concentration of meditation, and it is also suitable for worshipping the gods. ”
Saying that he cleaned his hands, he took a piece of incense and lit it with a cypress branch, and put it in the incense burner with tweezers.
Empress Dowager Xu said happily, "Wonderful, wonderful, it's really fairy incense." Now I just feel clear, warm and comfortable, and I can't even remember what a headache feels like at the moment. Bengong's legs have felt heavy for many years, and they can't lift them up, and the smoke is all over their bodies, but now they feel that their legs are extremely light. ”
Saying that, she asked the palace people to help her up, and after walking a few steps, she said happily, "It's really strange." ”
Concubine Xu smiled, "It's my sister who has a heart, and when she got the incense, she thought of the Queen Mother for the first time." ”
Empress Dowager Xu looked at Concubine Xu with satisfaction and said, "You are a good boy and have a heart." ”
Concubine Xu hurriedly got up, "Don't dare." It is within the concubine's share of the queen mother's worries and pains, and I wish the queen mother good health and eternal blessings. ”
Empress Dowager Xu sat on the couch and took a sip of tea, regret and regret, "You are all very good, I have raised you since I was a child, just like my children." The palace cast the golden man to get the throne, but the son was difficult, and he was the queen for sixteen years and did not have a child. This palace is trying its best to plan, just so that one of you can get the back seat. We don't want Destiny to be out of our side. He said with a bit of sadness.
Concubine Da Xu said, "After the Jin people are established, it all depends on the will of heaven, and the queen mother does not have to be sad." Things are man-made, even if we can't sit in the back seat, we can share the worries of the saint and win glory for the Xu family. ”
Empress Dowager Xu nodded and said, "For the sake of that woman, the Holy Lord openly confronted the palace. Saying that, he said apologetically, "Mian'er, you have to understand this palace." ”
Concubine Xu said, "The Queen Mother has worked hard for the sake of the Xu family and His Majesty, how can Mian'er not understand?" If it is really obscure that day, the concubine is willing to enter the Huangjue Temple for three years. ”
Empress Dowager Xu nodded with satisfaction, "You have been smart and clever since you were a child. ”
