Chapter 221: Overdone
Dongfang Mingyue smiled and bowed: "Yes, Mingyue is the daughter of the first queen, Princess Jinlan of Dongyue, Mingyue has always admired Nanyan Guowei, so she automatically asked Ying to follow Lord Ouyang to Nanyan to ask Nanyan for advice. ”
Qi Jingzhi nodded: "I don't know what Princess Jinlan wants to ask?" ”
Dongfang Mingyue smiled: "Fragrance." ”
After that, Dongfang Mingyue took out a piece of fragrant cake from her purse, and said with a smile: "This is a spice carefully prepared by Mingyue, please take a look." ”
While speaking, a little eunuch stepped forward and carried the incense cake to the main seat for Qi Jingzhi and the others to smell, Ye Tanghua sniffed slightly, and there was a number in his heart, and he lowered his eyes and waited for Dongfang Mingyue to say a comparison.
I saw Dongfang Mingyue smile: "This spice is made according to the ancient recipe, it is quite magical, I don't know if Nanyan can recognize this ancient fragrance, and what good fragrance can compete with it?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Tanghua continued: "How many spices in Nanyan are tens of millions? What's so hard about picking one to compete with? ”
Dongfang Mingyue looked at Ye Tang Hua with some surprise, this is an extremely rare butterfly incense in ancient books, the fragrance of burning is overflowing, it can attract bees and butterflies, so the name, she has always thought that the formula of this spice is only her, and it is impossible for Nanyan to recognize this spice, so she thinks that she should be able to win the battle with them, but she didn't expect Nanyan to boast of such a big Haikou without care? Is this little girl confident, or is she a swollen face and a fat person?
Qi Jingzhi looked at Ye Tanghua with some concern: "I haven't even seen that spice just now, is Qing Shang really sure to beat it?" ”
"It's better than I dare not say, but it's not difficult to overwhelm it." Ye Tanghua blinked playfully, and secretly laughed in her heart that Dongfang Mingyue was confused, this spice is beautiful, and it is expensive, but if you want to overshadow it, there is an extremely simple way......
Dongfang Mingyue bit her lower lip, but still decided to believe her own thoughts, this spice was so exquisite, how could it be overpowered by Nanyan? This little girl must have regarded precious spices as ordinary spices, so she dared to boast of such a sea mouth!
"In that case, why don't we have a competition, light the two spices at the same time, and see who can overpower whom?" Dongfang Mingyue raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly at Ye Tanghua.
"That's what I mean!" Ye Tanghua was not afraid, but calmly faced the battle.
After a while, the two incense burners were brought up, Dongfang Mingyue took out her own spices, put them in the incense burner and lit them, and the fragrance was overflowing, and it was not long before it filled the entire spring garden.
Ye Tanghua didn't do it herself, but turned her head and ordered the little eunuch a few words, and the little eunuch listened, her eyes widened and she was surprised: "County lord, can this work?" ”
"I said okay, go quickly!" Ye Tanghua raised her chin with a smile, the little eunuch had no choice but to obey the order to prepare, and after a while, he stepped forward with two pieces of fragrant cakes: "Please take a look at the county lord, is this okay?" ”
Ye Tanghua glanced at it and nodded: "Yes, I remember that this kind of effect is good, let's go down and burn it." ”
The little eunuch went down in response, and the rest of the group of people on the main seat were full of surprise, Han Yirou glanced at Ye Tanghua and asked in a low voice, "What the hell are you doing!" ”
Ye Tanghua smiled: "Look at it!" ”
At this time, Pei Ying also looked at Ye Tanghua with some confusion: "Qing Shang, this, this spice seems to be ...... Doesn't it seem like a noble thing? ”
"Niangniang Mingjian." Ye Tanghua smiled secretly in her heart, this queen is really polite when she speaks, what is not a noble thing? That spice is obviously a bargain......
Qi Jingzhi was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Okay, I can see it now, whatever strange things happen to Qing Shang will eventually become a matter of course, let's wait and see." ”
With Qi Jingzhi's words, although everyone no longer continued to question, it could be seen from the expression that no one had a bottom in their hearts, this expression looked at Dongfang Mingyue's eyes, and couldn't help but make her a little more sure, even Nanyan's own people couldn't trust that talented girl's spices, it can be seen that Nanyan is indeed unavailable, so she will let such a little girl do nonsense!
At this time, the spices of Ye Tang flowers gradually smelled, and Dongfang Mingyue only sniffed it slightly and frowned, what kind of spice is this? It smells terrible! How could it be overpowering her spices! This little girl of Nanyan is just messing around!
She was angry in her heart, so she no longer swallowed her anger, took out the straw cage in her sleeve, and held it up to everyone: "Everyone, please see, this cage contains the special phoenix butterfly of Dongyue, now I will release it and let it show the beauty of my spice." ”
Dongfang Mingyue opened the cage and released a big and beautiful butterfly, only to see that the butterfly first stopped on the cage to rest for a while, and then gently waved its brilliant wings, and flew up slowly, flying aimlessly in the air for a while, as if sensing the aroma of spices, and flew towards the incense burner in Dongyue.
With the fluttering of the butterfly's wings, Dongfang Mingyue's expression became more and more proud, and she caught a glimpse of Nanyanren's increasingly ugly face out of the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in her heart, let you hold it up, this time you will be embarrassed!
Seeing that the butterfly was about to land on the incense burner of Dongyue, but at this moment the change also occurred, the butterfly seemed to not know what to do around the two incense burners and began to circle constantly, after going back and forth between the incense burners a few times, this beautiful butterfly fell to the ground with a click, and after flapping its wings twice weakly, there was no movement again.
Dongfang Mingyue looked at this scene in a daze, a little unable to reply, what is going on? Her spice is a very precious butterfly incense, it should be able to attract butterflies, she had tried it before she came, this spice can indeed be surrounded by butterflies, but why are butterflies not hovering over the incense burner now, but dead?
She looked at Ye Tanghua in disbelief: "Nanyan talented girl, please explain, what is going on!" Why do phoenix butterflies die! ”
Ye Tanghua stood up and raised her eyebrows at her, and said with a faint smile: "Princess Jinlan, it is true that your butterfly incense is very precious, but now that the butterfly is dead, there is no way to reflect the beauty of butterfly incense, right?" ”
Dongfang Mingyue's eyes widened: "You, do you know that this is Butterfly Fragrance?" ”
"It's nature." Ye Tanghua smiled calmly.
"And what are the spices you use?" Dongfang Mingyue gritted her teeth and asked, she must only understand what spice the butterfly incense is defeated by.
"Oh, this is Nanyan's insect repellent incense, it's not expensive, one or two pieces of silver is enough for a year." Ye Tanghua raised her eyebrows and said with a smile.
Oriental Bright Moon Qi Knot: "Insect repellent incense? I use the precious butterfly incense to compete, and Nanyan uses this lowly spice to compete? Isn't that insulting to me? ”
Ye Tanghua pretended to be surprised: "Huh? What did Princess Jin Lan say? I tried it completely according to the rules you set, it was you who asked Nanyan if anyone could recognize this spice, and asked if there was any spice that could overpower the butterfly incense, and now I can recognize the butterfly incense, and the insect repellent incense overpowered the fragrance of the butterfly incense, why is the princess annoyed? ”
Dongfang Mingyue was so angry that her face turned red: "What I said is not to overpower, but to compare!" Butterfly incense is so precious, but this insect repellent incense is so cheap, how can the two be compared! ”
"Princess, that's wrong!" Ye Tanghua lowered her face coldly and smiled mockingly: "Does Her Royal Highness the princess think that the pressure in the mouth of the Qing Shang means to cover up?" Dare to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess, is your butterfly incense useful for anything other than attracting butterflies? How many people can afford this precious spice besides you? What is there to cherish such a tasteless spice that is discarded? On the other hand, the insect repellent incense of our southern swallow, first of all, it is very practical, and all kinds of insects can be immediately smiling, this butterfly is the best evidence, and secondly, it is cheap, and the princess is high in the butterfly incense, the price of the insect repellent incense is so low that every household can afford to use it, this is a spice that can benefit all people, is it not precious? Could it be that in the eyes of the Dongyue royal family, gold and silver treasures are more important than Guotai and Min'an, and the toys that gold branches and jade leaves fiddle with when they are bored are more precious than practical things that every household can use? The ancients said that the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light, Her Royal Highness the princess despises the common people so much, is it too arrogant, right? ”
Dongfang Mingyue was dumbfounded when she heard this, even Ouyang Zhongtian didn't know how to refute it, she originally thought that this little girl was deliberately humiliating Dongyue with lowly insect repellent incense, but she didn't expect this girl to really say such a big truth, and she was still the truth......
Looking at the deflated appearance of the Dongyue envoy, Qi Jingzhi smiled and bent his eyes, Ye Tanghua's lethality was too great, even Han Gaoyang, an old fox, had to bow to the wind, just with the pig brain of the Dongyue envoy, he also wanted to parry?
Ye Tanghua was also smiling happily in the seat, but she suddenly felt a little cold on her back, as if someone was staring at her, she frowned and looked behind her, and saw that among the several concubines sitting there as a foil behind her, Concubine Xiao was staring at her with a cold face, as if she was smiling.
Ye Tanghua stiffened, and the cold sweat suddenly came down, she was too carried away, and the first win was too smooth, so that she only cared about thinking about how to overpower these foreign girls, but forgot to guard against her own camp!
This is a disaster, she actually revealed in front of Xiao Concubine that she knew how to mix incense, although Xiao Chuge's action in the military department has come to an end, but Xiao Concubine still doesn't know whether to move or not, in case Xiao Concubine hasn't done it now, then isn't she startling the snake?
Seeing that Ye Tanghua found her gaze, Concubine Xiao did not shy away from it, narrowed her eyes and smiled coldly, while thinking about something in her heart......
