"It's a trifle." Gonggong Liu in front said with a smile, and glared at the little chamberlain quickly, such a trivial matter can please the righteous sister of Lord Cen Governor, and he was almost ruined by him, "Please also invite the two girls to go in and wait." Our family will order someone to prepare incense. ”

Gonggong Liu personally led Bichan and the little palace maid in, and asked them to serve tea to the two of them.

The imperial supervisor's book is very familiar, and he brought the account book of the treasury without waiting for Liu's father-in-law's order, and specially turned to the page of spices.

Gonggong Liu casually flipped through the two pages and frowned slightly.

The spices in the treasury are not small, and some of the incense originally prepared by the palace plus the emperor came to escape the summer this time, and the imperial supervisor also brought a lot of spices, but it is always no less than in the palace......

Wen Yongju on the side felt that he had nothing to do, and was about to say goodbye, when he saw Gonggong Liu stop him with a faint expression: "Gonggong Wen, there are still too few spices in this palace, you personally take someone to buy some more......"

"......" Wen Yongju frowned, his eyes were dark, and he wanted to say that this was the "imperial eunuch", and he was on an errand for the emperor, not for Cen Yin's sister-in-law!

However, before his words could be spoken, he heard Gonggong Liu say in a strange manner: "Haven't you been running to the town recently, and you have found a rare authentic handiwork, but later, you haven't got anything back!" If you have the leisure time to wander around, you might as well go and buy some spices, the four girls of the Duanmu family are still waiting to use it! ”

After that, he ignored Wen Yongju's gloomy face, and muttered again: "This horse requisition is not good, and even the purchase is not good." ”

Wen Yongju almost didn't turn his face. In the past, when he was in charge of the Imperial Horse Prison, this Gonggong Liu was a grandson in front of him, but now he has a different face, sneering, and can't wait to seize the opportunity to step on him.

"......" Wen Yongju endured the anger in his heart and said to himself, ten years in Hedong, ten years in Hexi, and wait!

He quietly bowed to Gonggong Liu, and hurriedly left the imperial prison with a small chamberlain.

Gonggong Liu didn't look at Wen Yongju, and comforted the two of them with a smile, so he personally went to the treasury to get the spices, not only that, but he also personally sent the spices to the Qingliang Palace.

"Fourth girl Duanmu, there are still fewer varieties of spices in this palace, the royal prison is buying recently, and our family will send someone to send some to the girl later." Gonggong Liu nodded and bowed, and was very polite to Duanmu Fei.

"Thank you, Grandpa Liu." Duanmu thanked the other party with a smile.

After that, Bi Chan personally sent Father-in-law Liu out, and when she came back, she stroked her palms with emotion and said: "Girl, most of the fathers-in-law in this palace are enthusiastic and kind!" "Originally, I heard that little palace maid say that the imperial prison is not easy to get along with, and she thought that she would return in vain, but she didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

Duanmu Fei nodded thoughtfully, remembering that the last time he was hiding from cats on the shore of Tianlai Lake, there was a little father-in-law who quietly helped him find someone!

"Bi Chan, help me open these boxes." Duanmufei's attention was quickly attracted by the incense and spices that Gonggong Liu had just sent, and instructed Bi Chan to burn incense on a plate for her, and while smelling the incense, she recorded the ingredients of those incense one by one......

In the small study, as the plates of incense were lit, the paper on the desk was written more and more, and all kinds of fragrances filled the air, mixed together, and the fragrance became stronger and stronger......

Duanmu Fei immersed herself in the world of incense, not knowing the passage of time...... When Hanxing came back, he opened the door curtain, looked at the cigarette-filled room in front of him, smelled the rich incense, and almost fainted.

"Cousin Scarlet, what are you doing here?" Han Xing walked in with a handkerchief covering his little face, and made a gesture to the palace maid behind him, the palace maid hurriedly opened the window, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone in through the window, and with it, there was also a gentle breeze.

Duanmu Fei came back to her senses at this time, raised her eyes, and found that the sun outside had already set westward, and she subconsciously glanced at the pot leak on the desk, and before she knew it, it was already more than half of the time.

Han Xing walked towards the window and complained coquettishly: "Cousin Scarlet, don't you go to play polo with this palace, just to come back and burn incense?!" She looked at the pile of incense on the table where most of it had been burned, and raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"I'm trying incense." Duanmu pursed her lips and smiled, smiling softly and cutely, at the same time, she hurriedly poured a cup of sour plum soup for Han Xing, and changed the topic with a smile, "Cousin Han Xing, how is your polo playing?" ”

When she asked, Han Xing's mouth was so upturned that he was only about to hang the oil bottle, "We lost." Han Xing was still a little unconvinced, clenched his small fist and said, "I made an appointment with the Lord of Roland and the Lord of Yuzhen to compete in three days." I heard from the eldest sister that Xiaoxi is very good at polo, and this palace plans to let her go with her, and ......"

Han Xing showed a contemplative look and counted with slender fingers, "And Lan Tingyun, by the way, Mu Zhilin and Miss Wang Si heard that riding and archery and polo are good...... Feng Wu and Liu Si's polo skills are also too poor, so I won't take them next time. ”

When she carefully organizes a polo team, she doesn't believe they can't win!

By the way, I almost forgot ...... "Cousin Scarlet, you have to join our polo team too." Han Xing said in an unquestionable tone.

Yes?! Duanmu pointed at herself stupidly, she was self-aware, she had just practiced her riding skills, and the polo was still far away.

Hanxing has her own plans, although the hands and feet of the scarlet cousin are not coordinated, but playing polo does not completely depend on this, but also on the horse, Feipian is a peerless horse.

Han Xing continued: "This palace will let Xiaoxi bring the dark night again, and Feipin and the dark night will combine the two swords, and no one will be able to outrun the two of them on the horse farm." ”

That's nature. Duanmu nodded with a relative, his eyes burning, Feipian and Wuye must be invincible.

Han Xing rubbed his hands, a little impatient, and swore firmly: "In three days, we must win, and we must win beautifully, so that the lord of Roland County knows how powerful our Dasheng noble girl is!" ”

The more Han Xing spoke, the more angry he became, and complained coquettishly: "Cousin Scarlet, you didn't see it today, that Roland County Lord is really annoying!" ”

"During the game, she saw that Mu Zhihui was timid, so she stared at her and grabbed her bow, which made Mu Zhihui completely messed up."

"After winning, she will mock our Dasheng women for being squeamish, saying that their northwest girls grew up on horseback, and if they don't learn to walk, they will ride horses or something!"

Han Xing was so angry that his beautiful little face was bulging, like a pufferfish.

"Cousin Hanxing, don't worry, let's sum up before the next competition, and we will definitely win them in three days." Duanmu Fei said confidently, and as she spoke, she cleaned up the silk paper and spices on the table that had just been recorded.

After Han Xing complained, he felt much happier in his heart, looked at the messy incense on the table again, found that there were some spices mixed in it, and asked, "Cousin Scarlet, what incense are you trying?" Is it to make carcodia? ”

Last time, the hundred carved incense made by Duanmu was scarlet, and Hanxing also got two plates, which were made into a seal script with lotus pattern and the word "star".

Han Xing burned the incense stick immediately, these two plates of incense were obviously made into two very different shapes, but they were accurately burned in one day and night, Han Xing deliberately looked at the pot carving, and the time was accurate at all.

It's just amazing!

Han Xing really wanted to ask Duanmu Fei how she did it, but vaguely guessed that Duanmu Fei would pull her to give her an arithmetic class. Thinking about those boring numbers and whimsical calculations, Han Xing felt his brain swell.

Ahem, forget it, there are some things that you can enjoy the result yourself, and you don't need to know the process.

Duanmu Fei didn't notice Han Xing's abnormality, his eyes fell on the Jiuhe incense in front of him, and said: "I happened to meet Mrs. Zhang before, and Mrs. Zhang gave me a kind of Jiuhe incense, which has a spice in it, and I can't recognize it, so I asked the imperial supervisor to discuss some spices to see." ”

Duanmu Fei said and lit Jiuhe incense again, and the curling green smoke rose, and at this moment, the previous fragrances in the room had been blown away by the wind, and the fragrance of Jiuhe incense was particularly prominent, which made people feel refreshed after smelling it.

"It smells so good!" Han Xing squinted his eyes intoxicated, "Why didn't the imperial eunuch take this incense as a tribute?" She only thought it smelled good, and she couldn't smell any spices in it. Well, Cousin Scarlet really has a cat nose, and she's too godly.

Duanmu Fei's nose moved, letting the fragrance penetrate into the tip of his nose, and muttered to himself: "This Jiuhe incense was originally light and elegant, but after adding that fragrance, it made the smell a little mixed...... dwarfed. She tilted her little face and said suspiciously, "Why does the perfumer add this flavor?" ”

"It doesn't have to smell good." Han Xing said casually, maybe it was for moisture-proof, long-lasting aroma or burn-resistant or something.

Saying that, Han Xing leaned over and sniffed it again, but he couldn't smell the "mixed" that Duanmu Fei said, it smelled very good.

Duanmu sat there with a blank gaze, staring blankly at the spices on the table, and Han Xing's words echoed repeatedly in his mind: "It doesn't have to smell good." ”

Over and over again.

Han Xing had long been accustomed to Duanmu Fei being in a daze from time to time, so he pulled her little hand and said, "Cousin Scarlet, you can teach me how to make incense." ”

Duanmu Fei came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Shall I teach you to make Ming Tingxiang?" Mingting incense not only has a fresh smell, can repel mosquitoes, but also can sleep peacefully. Summer is at its best. ”

"Good, good." Han Xing is on the rise, and he thinks everything is good.

The two little girls fiddled together, one taught, one learned, one said, and the other remembered, and tossed until midnight, so that the two of them couldn't get up early the next morning.

Duanmu Fei was woken up by the sound of roosters in the early morning for a moment, and decided in a daze that she must skip class today, and then fell asleep again, and then she slept until three o'clock in the morning, and her spirit was immediately better.

It's been a long time since I've slept so full! Duanmu Fei secretly decided in his heart that he would never live with Han Xing in the future.

Duanmu Fei opened his eyes and looked at the azure gauze tent above, he didn't want to get up at all, he rolled around the quilt, and his eyes inadvertently swept over a sachet that was about to be finished on the bedside table, and his eyes paused for a moment.

Yesterday she looked at the rest of the spices, and she had an idea, and she made a sachet of incense by herself.

Before the sachet was sealed, the fragrance wafted over as soon as the wind blew from the window.

The fragrance is fragrant and refreshing, revealing the freshness of the morning dew rolling over the leaves, like a galloping horse and the fragrance of flowers, leaves and water in the mountains and forests.

Feng Yan and Ben Xiao should like it.

Count the days, when Feng Yan returns to Beijing, it should be winter, the incense blended this time is suitable for winter, and when the time comes, she can go to wash the dust and incense for Benxiao.

Thinking about it, Duanmu Fei was looking forward to the cold winter coming soon for the first time.

"Now I guess I won't be able to return to Beijing until winter!"

Feng Yan lifted the curtain and glanced at the street outside the carriage, lowered the curtain again, and sighed helplessly at Wen Wuchen who was sitting opposite him, thinking about his Zhen Zhen in his heart, and he didn't know what Zhen Zhen was doing now?

Wen Wuchen could see at a glance what Feng Yan was thinking, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned like the bright first quarter moon in the night sky, and his right hand, which was as bony as a jade bamboo, rested leisurely on the armrest of a wheelchair.

On the 10th of July, on behalf of Dasheng, they proposed that the two princes retry to choose a new king, and soon received the consent of the eldest prince Chi Deru and his mother tribe, the Gansong tribe, and then the Gansong tribe took their side one after another.

In contrast, the second prince Mu Nai is obviously weak, his biological mother is a female slave, without the help of the maternal family, the other nine clans are only the Chengba clan is willing to support him, he almost can't resist, just on the grounds that the throne has been decided, gritted his teeth and insisted on not letting go.

In this regard, Xu Jingsi, the queen of the palace, did not say anything at first, and it was delayed from July 10 to July 15, and Xu Jingsi said that the two princes were injured, and it was not too late to make a decision after they were injured.

Xu Jingsi's words hit the nail on the head, and now the two princes are seriously injured and cannot hold the second competition for the time being, so those arguments have stopped for the time being.

However, because the enthronement ceremony of the new king did not go smoothly, there was a kind of restless atmosphere in Puguo, from the patriarchs of various ethnic groups to the ordinary people, their hearts were a little up-and-down, as if their hearts were hanging in the air, not knowing where this battle for the throne would eventually go......

The carriage made its way unhurriedly along the winding mountain road towards the palace at the top of the hill, the regular sound of wheels and horses' hooves echoing all around.

Today is the audience of Queen Xu Jingsixuan Dasheng's envoys.

After they arrived at the capital city of Jinluo City on June 26, this was the first time that Xu Jingsi officially summoned them.

The post house is not far from the palace, the carriage arrived at the palace without a stick of incense, Feng Yan and Wen Wuchen, as well as Mu Jinfan and Lord He in the other carriage, all got off the carriage at the gate of the palace, and Fu Qian led them into the palace.

"Brother Feng, and a few envoys, please go this way."

Fu Qian took Feng Yan and the four of them all the way to the main hall in the center of the palace.

In the huge main hall, a piece of gold is splendid, carved balustrades and jade pillars, the walls on all sides are painted with colorful and remarkable murals, and the feet are covered with soft and bright wool carpets, stepping on it quietly.

In the hall, a table and a seat have already been set up, and the tribal patriarchs on both sides and the dignitaries of the court have all entered the table and sat on the ground.

The arrival of Feng Yan and his party naturally attracted the attention of these Pu people, but Feng Yan and their eyes all looked at the queen Xu Jingsi who was sitting on the top.

Xu Jingsi, who was wearing a gorgeous beaded crown and a red embroidered brocade robe, was lazily leaning on the gold lacquer high back of the seat, on his stunning and enchanting face, a pair of black eyes with a slight upward movement at the corners of his eyes were clear and charming, and a lazy and charming smile was pouting at the corner of his mouth, exuding a strange style, just like the legendary Daji and praise who bewitched the king and brought disaster to the country and the people.

Lord He, who was walking behind Feng Yan on the right, looked at it, and couldn't help frowning, and said secretly in his heart: Do you sit or not!

Feng Yan and his entourage stopped in the center of the hall and saluted Xu Jingsi above in unison.

"No courtesy." Xu Jingsi casually hooked his lips and smiled, his description became more and more charming, and he said politely, "Several Dasheng envoys have come from thousands of miles away, and they should have been good at entertaining you. It's a pity that because of the recent twists and turns in the affairs of the new monarch of our country, I have not been able to entertain a few envoys well, and I hope that a few will forgive me. ”

"A few envoys are also invited to the table." Xu Jingsi raised her hand, and the wide cuffs slid down to her elbows with her movements, revealing a piece of wrist wearing two gold bracelets, white as jade, which attracted the eyes of many Pu men in the hall to linger on her wrists, and their eyes either showed obsession or could not hide their amazement.

Lord He endured and endured, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he could almost kill mosquitoes, only to feel that Xu Jingsi's right wrist exposed outside his sleeve and the eyes of those men looking at her were extremely "dazzling".

It's immoral, it's really immoral!

This woman has really lost all their faces! If she is so reckless, I am afraid that this Pu country and even other countries will think that they are such a wild place with no rules and no manners!

Lord He only felt that his heart was burning as if a bucket of oil had been poured on it, and it instantly rushed straight to his brain, burning him to the point of losing his mind.

"Queen," Lord He maintained a posture of arrogance, gritted his teeth and said in a stiff voice, "the first king of your country has just died, and you are a widow, queen, so you should be cautious in your words and deeds, and abide by women's virtues, so as to comfort the spirit of the first king of your country in heaven!" ”

"You are the queen of the palace, the leader of the harem, the mother of the world, and you should be strict with yourself, so that you can set an example for the women of Puguo, so that the whole country can respect and emulate!"

Lord He said with foaming at the mouth, and the voice of the only one in the hall echoed around.

Xu Jingsi's face above did not change at all, and even when he stroked his hair, he charmingly blinked his eyes to the expressionless Feng Yan from the lower side, and his expression revealed a touch of meaning.

Feng Yan suppressed the turbulence in his heart, and silently let Lord He talk endlessly.

Seeing that no one refuted, Master He thought that Xu Jingsi was speechless, and he was very happy, and finally reprimanded righteously: "Queen, you are married from Dasheng, representing my Dasheng demeanor, and your words and deeds can't be so frivolous Meng Lang, losing my Dasheng's face!" ”

He said it eloquently, impassionedly, and exuded a righteous and awe-inspiring aura all over his body!

When his last word fell, there was a whisper in the hall, and half of the Pu nobles and patriarchs present did not understand the Dasheng language, so those who understood exchanged their heads with the people around them and relayed the words.

For a while, many people's eyes looked at Lord He, their expressions were subtle and complicated, and the atmosphere became a little weird.

"What envoy," Xu Jingsi straightened up, looked at him with a smile, and said in a coquettish voice, "Have you finished talking?" ”

Lord He arched his hand at Xu Jingsi, "There is a way, loyalty is contrary to the ear, I hope that the contemptible words can warn the queen, and it will live up to the contemptible." ”

However, Xu Jingsi's originally smiling face instantly became gloomy, with a straight face, he slapped his palm on the armrest, and reprimanded: "You are so bold, I am the queen of Puguo, who allows you to talk to me like this?!" But did Emperor Dasheng ask you to give me a message?! ”

Xu Jingsi raised his hand and pointed at Lord He's nose, undisguised his anger, as gorgeous as a thorny rose.

Pu Guo and Dasheng have been friends since Xu Jingsi and pro-Pu Guo, the two sides signed a peace letter, Pu Guo is not like some small countries to bow down to Dasheng, Pu Guo and Dasheng's status is equal, so, no matter what country Xu Jingsi is, she is now the queen of Pu Guo, she represents Pu Guo, and is by no means inferior to Dasheng!

The nobles sitting on both sides of the hall and the patriarchs of the various tribes all nodded secretly, feeling that their queens really had the demeanor of their Pu people, majestic and domineering, not like those Dasheng people who pretended to be very pretending one by one.

"......" Master He was so red that he was trained, and he only felt that he was slapped in the face by Xu Jingsi in public, his face was so hot and painful that he really wanted to dig a hole in the ground.

The corners of Xu Jingsi's mouth turned up again, but on that charming face, the smile was as cold as frost.

"Isn't the emperor of Dasheng trying to treat my Pu country as a vassal country?!" A bearded middle-aged man on the right sneered and said in a stiff Dasheng language.

The other patriarch immediately echoed contemptuously: "Hmph, it's just wishful thinking, and I can't do it myself!" ”

No one in the whole Pu country knew that it was his Pu country's iron hooves that captured Dasheng's two states, so that Dasheng was afraid of his Pu country like a tiger, and he did not hesitate to seek peace with his relatives, which of the two countries is stronger and which is weaker!

The other nobles and nobles also exchanged their ears, bowed their heads slightly, and looked at Lord He's eyes as sharp as arrows, revealing strong hostility and disdain.

"......" Lord He's face was extremely ugly, as if he had stepped on something indescribable, his face was as yellow as wax, his mouth opened and closed for a long time, and he couldn't help but say again, "Queen Xu, don't forget that you are the county lord of our Dasheng." ”

How could this woman forget her roots and help the people of Pu to humiliate them Dasheng! How can this be true, how can it be!

Xu Jingsi's smile deepened, and the faces of those Pu Guoxun were even more unkind. This Dasheng envoy was sent by Emperor Dasheng to sow discord, and since the queen is the queen of their Pu country, she naturally respects Pu Guo and Dasheng is secondary!

The air was slightly condensed, and gradually filled with a tense atmosphere, and there seemed to be sparks in the air that were "crackling" and exploding.

At this moment, a clear and pleasant male voice suddenly sounded in the hall: "Now the county lord is the queen of Puguo, Dasheng and Puguo are friends in the world, Dasheng is sincere and friendly with Puguo, it is because our emperor sent us to envoy your country and mourn the former king of your country, and there is no intention of insulting Puguo." ”

For a while, everyone's eyes shifted again, from Master He to Feng Yan's body.

The young man in a purple brocade robe was handsome and upright, full of energy, and solemnly made a long bow to Xu Jingsi on the gold-lacquered seat above.

After Feng Yan saluted, he turned his head to look at Lord He beside him, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Lord He, you just talked nonsense and humiliated the queen, which really violated the emperor's intention of friendship with Pu Guo, so don't you hurry up and apologize to the queen!" ”

What the?! Lord He couldn't believe his ears, Feng Yan asked him to apologize to Xu Jingsi, a profligate woman?! This is simply a shame on yourself!

Lord He's face was blue and then white, he was naturally unwilling, but it was a matter of peace talks between the two countries, if it was used by the Pu people to play the topic......

Lord He gritted his teeth, intending to endure the humiliation for Dasheng, he was about to bow his head and apologize, but he heard Xu Jingsi above say lightly: "Dasheng has a saying, what you say is equivalent to spilling water." He envoy humiliated the queen of Pu in such a state of my country, the crime is unforgivable! It is necessary to punish small punishments and great admonitions in order to set an example. ”

Her seductive eyes were stunningly bright against the crown of pearls embedded with rare treasures, and her eyes were shining with anticipation.
