This night, Xi Zixiao didn't pester her, thinking that there was still a vital Douxiang the next day, the two of them 'wanted' to rest early, but just when they were lying on the 'bed', 'Hua' Jiu felt that she was hungry, and she didn't eat anything at the emperor's dinner, and by the way, she remembered that Xi Zixiao hadn't had dinner either.

Xi Zixiao then got up again, he actually didn't feel hungry if he didn't eat anything, he was used to it before, but he looked at the already soft stomach of 'Hua' Jiu, and pursed his 'lips' and said, "Put on your clothes and take you to the imperial dining room." ”

'Hua' Jiu's eyes lit up, "The emperor's imperial dining room? Will it be discovered? ”

There was already a faint excitement in the words, this feeling of being dark and windy, and the most suitable for doing bad things made 'Hua' Jiu feel a little excited.

Xi Zixiao smiled, he pinched the tip of the 'flower' nine noses, "No, this is not the palace." ”

The two of them said and left, Xi Zixiao took 'Hua' Jiu out of the room 'door', there was not even a moon outside, there was the sound of insects chirping in the grass, 'Hua' Jiu looked at it, it was all dark night 'color', and it was impossible to see clearly five steps away.

"Hold me tight." Xi Zixiao took 'Hua' Jiu's hand and let her wrap it around his waist, he half-hugged her with one hand, took a few steps back, and jumped to the roof.

'Hua' Jiu closed her 'lips' tightly, fortunately, she had also seen Xi Zixiao make a few moves, and she was not frightened.

Knowing that 'Hua' Jiu was unstable, Xi Zixiao was almost walking with 'Hua' Jiu, his steps were silent, and even his breathing was slower than usual, and occasionally saw a patrolling 'guard', so he took 'Hua' Jiu to lower his body a little, so that he went all the way to the emperor's imperial dining room unimpeded.

Although this side of Chengtian Villa is not as big as the dining room in the palace, the imperial chef emperor has brought all of them, so it is not much worse than that of the palace.

It was very late, and at this time things were steaming on the stove in the imperial dining room, and only two or three little eunuchs were dozing.

Xi Zixiao stretched out his hand quickly, and when he was still carrying the 'flower' nine, he jumped in like a shadow unconsciously, and after placing the 'flower' nine on the wide beam, he fell lightly, and the person stood in front of the two or three eunuchs who were dozing, and those eunuchs didn't know.

He glanced at Flower, who gestured to her to eat what was being steamed on the stove.

Xi Zixiao also spoiled her, and lightly 'got' out a plate for her from the stove, the things were cooked, and they were still hot, Xi Zixiao looked at the inside, so he took a few more plates, including crystal dumplings, some steamed 'meat' eggs, and some unfamous ones.

Back to the beam, the two of them had a rough meal, in front of Xi Zixiao, 'Hua' Jiuzao was already unhappy and pretended to be everyone's beautiful etiquette, she obviously ate more than Xi Zixiao, and at the end, she ate it.

Xi Zixiao 'touched' her little bulging belly, and after sending the plate back untouched with satisfaction, he went back the same way with the 'flower' Jiushun.

As soon as the two of them stepped into the east courtyard, Xi Zixiao put the 'flowers' down nine times, and walked slowly in the courtyard to eat.

'Hua' Jiu took the initiative to take Xi Zixiao's hand, and felt that it would be good if every day was like this in the future, thinking about it, she decided that she must quickly clean up the 'Hua' house.

Suddenly, Xi Zixiao grabbed her suddenly, and 'Hua' was about to make a sound, but Xi Zixiao covered her mouth.

"Don't make a sound, someone." Xi Zixiao whispered, and pointed in the direction of 'Hua' Jiu by the way.

'Hua' Jiu followed the tracks, and sure enough, there was a figure in a black 'colored' night suit crawling cautiously like a cat, if it weren't for this, she and Xi Zixiao would have walked to a place with thick shade, maybe it would have alarmed the man in black.

"Jiu'er, wait here, I'll go back when I go." Seeing that the man in black turned into the dining room of the east courtyard, Xi Zixiao patted the face of the 'flower' nine and comforted him.

'Flower' Nine nodded, signaling that he was waiting for her here.

Seeing that the people of Xi Zixiao were like the breeze of ghosts, they disappeared after a few steps, and 'Hua' Jiu looked at the dining room of the East Courtyard with wide eyes, after all, the man in black didn't get up in the middle of the night to steal food like them.

And it's not the emperor's imperial dining room, I came to the east courtyard, and I don't have to think about it to know that I must not be happy.

'Hua' Jiu stood in place, rubbed his hands, and didn't see the black clothes come out after looking at it for a long time, but in less than a quarter of an hour, Xi Zixiao came back.

"The people who returned to the kitchen made the food, and they didn't know what to do." Xi Zixiao took the 'flower' nine back to the room and said.

'Hua' Jiu walked a few steps, and she groaned for a moment, "It's definitely right that we can't win tomorrow, since they have already made a move, we will return the other way to the other." ”

As she spoke, she pulled out a few of the large boxes of spices given to her by the second prince, and then concocted them, and in just half an hour, they became a small bottle of perfume with a light fragrance.

Even Xi Zixiao, if he didn't sniff carefully, he wouldn't pay attention at all.

"Husband, it's time for you to contribute, put them in the draft of the West Courtyard, and you can't miss a single one." 'Hua' Jiu stuffed the porcelain bottle containing the perfume liquid into Zixiao's hand, and said with a smile.

"Well, you rest first, don't be tired." Xi Zixiao's calloused fingertips touched the tips of the nine 'lips' of the 'flower'.

"Go and get back." 'Hua' Jiu pushed Xi Zixiao out of the room 'door', and lay down on the 'bed' by herself, she closed her eyes and the corners of her 'lips' were curled, just thinking, tomorrow is really a good show.

Early the next morning, 'Hua' Jiu and Xi Zixiao didn't eat the things sent from the dining room of the East Courtyard, and before going out of the 'door', 'Hua' Jiu took two purses that were exactly the same gold thread and aimed at the vines, and found two light purple 'color' dried fragrant 'flowers' plugged inside, hung one on Xi Zixiao's waist, and brought one on his own body, "Remember, don't let that princess get too close to you." ”

Xi Zixiao nodded, tightened his hand tightly, and slid his Adam's apple before saying, "Jiu'er, you will win." ”

Hearing this, 'Hua' Jiu smiled, that smile was clear and flawless, if there was sunlight reflecting 'radiation', it could precipitate the colorful colors of all colors, "Naturally, I will definitely win, no one can separate us." ”

Today's incense fight, there is the emperor to watch the scene, solemn and vast, there have already been eunuch palace 'women' in a vacant land to build a high platform, the high platform on the left and right sides of the case, on the several copies of incense utensils.

The emperor, the ministers of civil and military affairs, and the guests of the tasting were all under the high platform, and the whole venue was like watching a theater.

When 'Hua' Jiu arrived, there were already several people standing on the high platform, and there was one person standing in front of each case on the Hui side, a total of four people, one of whom was Ming Liduo, and Da Yin was naturally four people on his side, at this time, 'Hua' Jiu knew what kind of teammates the emperor had found for her.

There are four people who add her, one of them is 'Hua' Mingxuan, and the other two are older ones, one is also a young man, and 'Hua' Jiu is not very impressed, and he should also be from a fragrant family in the capital.

Seeing 'Hua' Jiu coming to the stage, 'Hua' Mingxuan nodded at her, and the other two also saluted.

After the 'flower' returned the salute nine times, she said to the 'flower' Mingxuan, "Brother Mingxuan, came over early this morning?" ”

"Well, it's a little late." 'Hua' Mingxuan's voice had no 'waves', and he couldn't hear any emotion, he pointed to the desk next to him, indicating that it was the position of 'Hua' Jiu.

'Hua' Jiu moved over, and stroked the incense with his fingertips, as if trying the feel.

'Hua' Mingxuan suddenly looked at somewhere in the audience and asked, "The emperor made an appointment with you?" ”

'Flower' Jiu looked at 'Flower' Mingxuan's line of sight, it was Xi Zixiao, he was standing in the corner of the 'Yin' shadow, not far away, not close, just enough to completely put her into his field of vision, "Yes, let Brother Mingxuan smile." ”

'Flower' Mingxuan was silent, he picked up the incense pestle, drew a circle in the incense bowl, his eyelids were half drooping, and he replied after a while, "I won't let you lose......"

'Hua' Jiuyi was stunned, at this time, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies went up to the high platform, and the emperor had already sat in the field, everything was ready.

She tilted her head and looked at the 'flower' Mingxuan on her right, the surrounding voice was quiet for a moment, as if she could only see him in the whole world, she heard a brisk tone in her voice, "Brother Mingxuan, will always be Ah Jiu's dearest person, the only one, the most important, one ......"

"Pop" the incense pestle fell out of his hand, and the sound of collision in the incense bowl was 'stirred', 'flower' Mingxuan raised his eyes, his cheeks fluttered with a soft arc, he smiled at once, the kind of smile that squinted his eyes, and the luster of 'jade' and 'color' emanated from his smile.

He felt a feeling of satisfaction and a little pain, at least he was still the only existence for her, although he was not giving what he wanted, but how much more could he ask for.

"That's good." He answered her like this.

"Bang!" The master of ceremonies and eunuchs rang the drum bell and shouted in a sharp voice, "Douxiang begins." ”

'Flower' nine back to the gods, instantly gathered the mind, this first scene, is to distinguish incense, first from the back of the side.

Ming Liduo took the lead, she smiled at the 'flower' nine 'dew' with an unknown meaning, and then took out a incense stick from the brocade box in front of the desk, and the incense artist in white stepped forward, dancing with a bewitching posture, while burning the incense, occasionally the sound of the piano ding dong was ethereal, and the whole venue was filled with a faint fragrance like an orchid musk.

"The name of this incense is Tiangong Qiao, and smelling it can make people like a dream of the god of Tiangong, please distinguish the incense." Ming Liduo had a malicious smile on her face, she only looked at 'Hua' Jiu, and said slowly.

'Flower' Jiu and 'Flower' Mingxuan both frowned to varying degrees, this incense doesn't seem to be orthodox when it sounds like the name, and it is also a dream of the god 'girl' of the Heavenly Palace, what do you do when you dream about it, and only people who smell the fragrance will understand.

"There are musk, tooth nitrate, borneol, yellow ripe incense, and white 'jade' orchid," the young man said in a deep voice, "and tulip." ”

The smile on Ming Liduo's face remained the same, the rules of this scene were one to one, and she didn't expect to let 'Flower' Jiu and 'Flower' Mingxuan speak at the beginning.

"Great Yin Sheng." The eunuch said in a loud voice again, and then a palace 'girl' took a big pu fan and fanned it a few times in the field, and then withdrew the fragrance of the palace just now before continuing.

The next three people were all men, but the second one took out a pinch of incense powder, still like just now, the incense artist 'woman' stepped forward and elegantly filled the incense into the incense burner.

This time, on the side of 'Hua' Jiu, it was the middle-aged man who stood up, he closed his eyes and sniffed carefully, and said with some uncertainty, "Tonka, Huoxiang, Qingguixiang, Baiwanxiang, Qingmuxiang." ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and added, "But there is still white sandalwood?" No, it doesn't taste like that. ”

In the end, the man could only do that, and replied to the man who stroked his tongue that couldn't be straightened, and said angrily, "You are wrong, it's not white sandalwood, it's Doulou Po incense and Jia incense." ”

'Flower' is clear, she also thought so just now, after all, the fragrance of the nail is heavy, if you use Lou Po incense to go, the taste is very similar to white sandalwood.

"Hui Sheng." The eunuch fell.

At this time, Da Yin Hui has a win, a tie situation, if 'Hua' Jiu wants to win, then the remaining two kinds of incense, she and 'Hua' Mingxuan must win.
