Chapter 212: Temptation

Chu Yuxi was wearing a gold silk and blue pattern robe, which set off her slender figure more and more, and her tight and beautiful face was carefully dressed up with makeup, red lips and jade teeth. It seems that she really has the temperament and aura of a noble concubine.

Behind the two of them were Xiaoqi and Min'er, who were also very smart.

This Yao beauty's residence exudes a faint fragrance, which is obsessive, and the smell is a little intoxicating, but there is no discomfort, but it feels a little special.

As soon as Chu Yuxi entered the residence, he smelled this faint fragrance, and this aroma smelled quite special.

Chu Yuxi looked at Yao Meiren's residence, and found that a corner of the incense platform was revealed behind the curtain, Chu Yuxi was curious, and walked forward and looked at the incense platform carefully.

"Sister Yao, your house is really fragrant, this fragrance is also refreshing when it smells in this palace, and I don't have a lot of thoughts, what kind of spice does my sister use?"

"Huh." Yao Meiren chuckled and continued to fiddle with the spices in her hands.

"Sister, this is smiling, it's just a spice, how can it have so many effects, this fragrance is made by me, and you can't buy it outside."

"Oh? I didn't expect your perfumery skills to be quite high. Chu Yuxi was puzzled and asked casually.

"If my sister likes it, I'll find some time to make it again, and order someone to send it to the Furong Palace."

Chu Yuxi smiled at Yao Meiren and said, "My sister really understands the heart of this palace. ”

This Yao beauty didn't expect incense making to be so superb, looking at her incense stand, those bottles and jars of utensils, it was a bit complicated.

On the surface, he is only willing to promise and has no quarrel with the world, but in this palace, who can be so pure in his heart? The women of this harem can't figure it out, so they are still on guard everywhere.

Besides, the fragrance smelled on this Yao beauty a few days ago is not accidental, there is a reason, she is a beauty, but she has no intention of not competing for favor, facing the emperor is still a faint appearance, but there is an aphrodisiac smell on her body, what is this, I am afraid that only Yao Meiren herself knows.

"Yao Meiren, I met my sister in the Imperial Garden a few days ago, and I smelled my sister's sachet is really charming, and there is nothing special today, so I came to ask my sister with Qin Ying to learn how to make perfume."

Chu Yuxi went straight to the point and said the purpose of coming here today, which seemed to outsiders to be a sincere picture of seeking advice.

A trace of panic flashed in Yao Meiren's eyes, but at this moment, Chu Yuxi still noticed that Yao Meiren was a little strange, but she was still silent on the surface.

Sister Chu laughed, how can it be so magical, first the incense powder and then the sachet, and my sister only knows a little about perfumery. In front of others, it is just an axe. Yao Meiren still replied lightly to Chu Yuxi's words.

"Why did my sister say this, in this palace, my sister has this skill, and she can also take the lead."

"Sister, don't comfort the concubine, no matter how good this fragrance is, it's not as good as a look from your sister." Yao Meiren pretended to smile bitterly.

Yes, in this palace, the women of the harem, the pursuit of their lives is to get the favor of the emperor and let themselves get a higher position, Yao Meiren's expression now is really in response to the situation, but Chu Yuxi already knows that Yao Meiren's mind has no intention of competing for favor. 113

Chu Yuxi also felt that it was enough, and he didn't say any more, afraid that Yao Meiren would be suspicious if he asked too much.

However, she also signaled Li Qinying with her eyes to test Yao Meiren, this fragrance must be strange, could it be that the aphrodisiac incense in An Jieyu's bedroom before was also from her, and the doubts in Chu Yuxi's heart became more and more serious.

Although Li Qinying was puzzled, she still listened to Chu Yuxi, Li Qinying didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, just because she believed that Chu Yuxi would not harm herself, so she did what Chu Yuxi hinted at her.

She knew that Chu Yuxi must have a purpose in coming here with her today, so she said, "Yao Meiren, did you have a master to teach you this perfumery technique?" I feel like your fragrance smells so good."

Chu Yuxi continued to carefully observe the perfume and herbs on the incense table, thinking thoughtfully, but his attention was still focused on the conversation on the other side.

Yao Meiren paused, thought for a while, and then gradually spoke: "This perfume is self-taught, and I am usually interested in these bottles and cans, so I will study it myself." ”

Li Qinying was surprised when she heard it: "Self-taught? You've learned this interest too well, and you can make such a good-smelling powder by self-study. ”

"The noble man smiled, my sister is just a child of an ordinary civilian family, how can she learn well." Yao Meiren responded, and there was no need to reveal too much information in the words.

"Oh? But your aroma is also quite distinctive. Li Qinyingzi asked curiously.

"It's a long story, the concubine was born in the south, and the capital is naturally incomparable, but the south also has its own characteristics, I am based on the characteristics of my hometown, and the incense is relatively rare here, so you think it is more distinctive." Yao Meiren told the story. There was some sadness and longing for his hometown in his tone.

At this time, Chu Yuxi heard Yao Meiren say this, but he didn't expect Yao Meiren to be a southerner.

"I didn't expect my sister to have such a past, once this woman enters the palace, it will be difficult to walk out of the palace again, and it is normal to miss her hometown." Chu Yuxi heard what Yao Meiren said and interjected.

"Perfumery is just a hobby of concubines, people have some of their favorite things to do, and they also want to commemorate their hometown through perfumery." Yao Meiren replied, her face a little moved.

In this huge harem, she doesn't know, she doesn't know who she can rely on, and the emperor's favor is not there, she can only spend her days by learning perfumery.

Faced with Yao Meiren's answer, Chu Yuxi spoke up at this time: "Sister Yao, how did you make the fragrance?" Is it using herbs that are too good for incense? ”

"Back to the words of the noble concubine, it is exactly, this herb was specially ordered by the concubine to be brought from outside. After grinding, it is a fine spice. Yao Meiren's tone of reply was filled with appreciation for vanilla.

Chu Yuxi didn't feel it when she heard too much, this Yao Meiren was originally a taciturn person, the kind who cherished words like gold, why did she talk more today, was it because she was afraid that we would be suspicious? There are strange things, and we should pay more attention to them.

"My sister is really elegant, and I will come to my sister to ask for advice from the Japanese palace, which will make the palace a little tired, so I won't bother my sister, and my sister is resting." Chu Yu cherished the momentum and held his forehead.

"Okay, the concubine sends Niangniang, Niangniang should pay more attention to her body, if you want to know more about perfume next time, you can come to me." Yao Meiren said slowly, or because there was a common topic, Yao Meiren invited Chu Yuxi.

"Of course, I will study here more with Qin Ying when I have time." After Chu Yuxi finished speaking, he ran out and left.

Li Qinying also said goodbye hastily and followed Chu Yuxi.
