Chapter 190: Incense Killing (Part II)
Huaxi couldn't refuse this little thing, but he didn't want to stay here longer, so he just said: "I can help point out the omissions in the fragrance, and as for the tone and materials, I still need to grasp it myself." I guess that most of the incense refining here is based on the water source of Li Lake, and the humid environment is easy to volatilize, which is more conducive to distinguishing subtleties...... Although I want to see the new incense products of the father, but I have been away from Tiandu for a long time, I am afraid that my father will be worried, so I can't live here for a long time, if it weren't for my aunt's unwellness, I am afraid that I would have returned to Tiandu a long time ago. ”
"So ......" Yu Heng pondered for a moment, "It must be inconvenient to start today, why don't you start the day after tomorrow?" So that the county lord can still give me some pointers? ”
"This ......" Huaxi hesitated for a moment and looked at Yizhen, "What does aunt mean?" ”
"I've been to this garden once, but there are a few good views, since you're here, you might as well take a look and go." Let's leave the day after tomorrow. Yi Zhen proposed, she didn't want to turn against the Zhidu Wang family for the time being, and besides, she still had many questions in her heart that needed answers......
"Well, if that's the case, stay one more day."
Yu Heng leaned over, "I am grateful to have the help of the county lord." ”
Huaxi said: "You're polite." ”
"With the help of the county lord, I believe that this time there will be a good product." Yu Heng said and looked at Yi Zhen, who was looking around curiously, and whispered to Huaxi, "In half a month it will be Yi Zhen's birthday, this time I personally refined this fragrance to give Yi Zhen a birthday gift to please her, so I also ask the county lord to mention more ......."
Huaxi glanced at Yu Heng in surprise, but seeing that his face was sincere, not like a fake, she thought to herself, if even acting can make people feel that it is true, then this person is not ordinary. Huaxi didn't answer, just nodded slightly.
Yu Heng suddenly smiled and glanced at Yi Zhen, as if he was afraid that she would find out. Seeing that Yi Zhen didn't pay attention to the two of them talking, Yu Heng hurriedly and secretly thanked Huaxi again and again.
Yu Heng and Huaxi talked about refining incense for a while, and it was only for a long time that Yizhen asked Huaxi to go to her place to eat together, and the two stopped. Huaxi wanted to leave with Yizhen, but Yu Heng said that he had benefited a lot from talking to Huaxi, and he had to hurry up and change the Fang to re-test, so he stayed in the fence and settled.
Out of the courtyard gate, Yi Zhen shook his head at Huaxi, "I only found out today why my brother complained about the baby daughter at home who couldn't walk when she saw Qixiang, although you are not as fond of fragrance as the old man Zhidu, but it makes some sense to say that your father said that you are a fragrant idiot." ”
"Oh, really?" Huaxi pursed her lips and smiled, and teased, "People are trying to refine incense for you, pestering me to ask what you like?" ”
"He? For me? Yi Zhen hooked the corners of his mouth noncommittally and laughed at himself, "It's for himself...... He didn't want to lose his business. Forget it, don't talk about these disappointments......"
"Okay, I'll also refine an incense for you and name it after you, how about it?"
"That's what you said, but I wrote it down." Yi Zhen's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "If you forget, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people."
"Waiting for my aunt to come and recover at any time"
The two walked along the Li Lake all the way to the direction of the Shuying Pavilion, and met the princess of Zhidu who was visiting the garden, Mulan and Xun Rou were on her left and right, followed by eight servants and maids, and a group of people came to them with a hug.
When Yi Zhen saw that group of people, he immediately smiled and sank his face.
Huaxi said helplessly: "It's almost lunchtime, why are you still visiting the garden?" ”
Yi Zhen pursed his lips, "Eighty percent heard that Yu Heng went to look for me and came out specially, didn't you see it, and brought a ......"
"Slaves and maids greet the princess and the county lord" The servants all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yizhen and the others.
Seeing this, Mulan also knelt down. Xun Rou hurriedly helped her, "Be careful." ”
Princess Zhidu followed and took Mulan's hand and said, "You have a body, if you don't kneel, the princess won't blame."
"Yes" Mulan glanced at Yizhen, then at the princess, and then at the princess, before answering in a low voice.
Yi Zhen looked at it coldly, and snorted lightly: "This is the place of the Zhidu Wang's family, not the palace, so you don't have to be so formal." ”
"Princess, where did this come from?" Princess Zhidu asked.
Yi Zhen said straightforwardly: "Well, Yu Heng invited me and Jingxian to go to the fence to live, see his perfume room, and sit there by the way." ”
Princess Zhidu looked behind Yi Zhen, "It's lunch time, why didn't you see Heng'er come out together?" ”
Yizhen looked impatient, Huaxi saw it, and hurriedly said: "Yu Henggong just had a momentary understanding, saying that he wanted to change the incense recipe, and it is estimated that he is still living in the fence to make incense at this time." ”
"And for the smell of the fragrance he said?" Princess Zhidu glanced at Yizhen, "Heng'er is honest." Whoever has it in his heart will be good to him. He told me earlier that he would prepare a kind of incense for the princess's birthday, saying that this would be sincere...... I also hope that the princess will be more considerate and considerate of Heng'er for the sake of Heng'er's infatuation."
Yi Zhen's face condensed, and he smiled sarcastically, "Thank you princess for reminding you that the hour is not early, I want to come to the princess to see Yu Heng, this palace and Jingxian will go back to the Shuying Pavilion first." ”
This sentence "Bengong" made Princess Zhidu's brows frown slightly, and Mulan behind her lowered her head and the corners of her lips raised slightly.
Yi Zhen bowed his head at the princess and walked behind Princess Zhidu.
Huaxi blessed her body and wanted to leave with Yizhen, but was called by Princess Zhidu: "Lord Jingxian, wait." The old body has something to ask the county lord. ”
Huaxi stopped, "Princess, excuse me." ”
"Last time, the two boxes of essential oils made by the old body entrusted to the county, without waiting for the prince to look at him, he let Heng'er see it first, and insisted on going to one box, and the other box was given to Mulan earlier. Listening to Mulan, the essential oils in it are extremely rare, and the taste is not ordinary. I want the county lord to know my lord's preferences, and the old man wants to ask the county lord, I don't know if there is anything else in the house? The old man wants to ask for a box for the prince. ”
Huaxi smiled and said: "There is still in the house, it is rare for the princess to like it, I will return to Tiandu the day after tomorrow, and I will let someone send it to your house." ”
"Then there is the lord of Lao, the old body has thanked you"
"Well, if the princess is fine, I will retire first."
The princess raised her hand and said, "Please"
Huaxi resigned, Princess Zhidu chased Yizhen all the way.
"Princess, it's almost time for dinner." As soon as Huaxi left, Princess Zhidu's personal grandmother came up to remind.
"The three kings and the guests went out to hunt. Heng'er didn't have to eat, so he asked people to prepare food and send it to the fence to live. Princess Zhidu turned to Mulan and Xun Rou again, "If Miss Xun doesn't dislike it, she will dine with us in the fence today?" ”
Xun Rou said humbly: "Where does the princess speak, it is Xun Rou's blessing to be able to dine with the princess." ”
"How's Lan'er? Why don't you go back to the hospital and rest first? ”
Where would Mulan let go of the opportunity to see Yu Heng, she shook her head and said, "It's okay, Lan'er wants to accompany her aunt." ”
The king of Zhidu also instructed his grandmother, "Okay, send someone to the fence first, and we will arrive later." ”
Along the way, Xun Rou remembered the wooden box in Sukino Zongqi's hand containing the unique porcelain vase of "Huaxi Xiangfang", could it be that the box in the hand of the little cousin was in Yu Heng's hand? But what is the little cousin going to do with those?
Xun Rou asked Mulan in a low voice, "Have you used the things that Jingxian gave to the princess?" ”
"Sniff mint grass only once in a while."
"You're pregnant, those things can still be avoided, what's wrong?"
Mulan stroked her belly gently, "I asked the imperial doctor, there is no problem with those incense products, it's okay to smell less." The mint grass is refreshing, but it doesn't taste too much, and I feel more comfortable smelling it when I like it. ”
"Oh?" Xun Rou held Mulan's arm, "That's rare...... I wonder if my sister can give my sister some insight? ”
"Then my sister will go to my hospital to rest after lunch, and I'll show my sister then." Mulan smiled shyly, "I misunderstood my sister last time, if my sister sees anything, just tell me, I'll give it to my sister." ”
"You and I sisters, you don't need to be so polite." Xun Rou pulled Mulan affectionately, and said, "I helped you come up with ideas, I thought you could get your wish...... As a result, my sister was angry, and it was not mine. ”
As he spoke, the hedge fell.
Although Yu Heng didn't like Mulan, he didn't dare to show it because of the princess by his side. However, when he saw Xun Rou, he remembered another thing in his heart, and secretly thought, should he talk to Zong Qi and take a back moment?
Lost her mind for a while, Princess Zhidu had already asked Mulan to sit next to Yu Heng, but Yu Heng was absent-minded and unaware. Mulan was overjoyed, and the spring breeze was full of during the banquet, and she kept serving vegetables to Yu Heng. Yu Heng's mind was not on the table, so naturally he didn't show anything unusual, not like yesterday's tough attitude when he argued with Mulan, but it made Princess Zhidu, who was originally a little worried about the two of them, feel at ease.
Princess Zhidu came from a humble background, but because she was deeply loved by the king of Zhidu, she sat on the throne of the princess from the concubine room, and with today's status, only she knows the bitterness of this, and she knows better what it feels like to be pressed under her feet. The princess, who is used to being high and talking about the same day, naturally does not want to have a daughter-in-law with a respected status to threaten her authority at home, so Yizhen is not a daughter-in-law that Princess Zhidu is satisfied with, which is an unsolvable knot in the princess's heart.
But with the situation at that time, the choice of the daughter-in-law of the most favored third son was decided by the prince and the emperor, she naturally had no right to speak, and marrying Yizhen was still related to Yu Heng's future, so naturally it could not be changed. The third daughter-in-law can't be chosen, so why does she have to find someone she is satisfied with, her status can't be compared with you, but you have to listen to her, Mulan couldn't be more suitable.
Princess Zhidu looked at Mulan and Yu Heng in front of her, and smiled, she was worried that Mulan was unwilling to be small, so she took Mulan home, but she never mentioned the slightest bit about letting Mulan do small things for Yu Heng, just thinking that Mulan could see her own good ...... Things turned out to be as she expected, and Mulan was indeed tempted. It's just that she didn't wait for her to do it, Mulan took a risk herself...... I'm pregnant, which is good news. No matter what, Mulan's entry into the palace is a foregone conclusion.
Thinking about Yizhen's expression just now, Princess Zhidu was a little worried that she would withdraw from the marriage, and after thinking about it, with the current situation and the status of the prince, the emperor would not easily regret the marriage. Even if Yi Zhen had a heart, she believed that the prince would not agree easily......
