Three days later, above the court.

The hour is still early, and the empress has not yet arrived, but the gate of the Jinluan Palace has been opened, and many ministers have arrived one after another......

Lin Zifan and everyone in the department swayed to the Jinluan Palace, and greeted the rest of the officials who arrived early.

After this period of adaptation, the officials of the department are also accustomed to the feeling of going to the court. When he saw the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, he would no longer tremble with excitement, and he could even show himself quite calmly when he saw the empress......

After all, habit becomes nature.

Lin Zifan also greeted the officials, but with his current status, it was basically other people who took the initiative to greet him, and there were not many people who dared to let Lin Zifan take the initiative to greet him.

Even if he is a man, even not long ago, almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty opposed Lin Zifan as an official, but now, everyone's concept has changed.

It's not that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty don't exclude men from being officials or anything now. It's that they don't treat Lin Zifan as a man anymore!

Just ask, how can a man be so powerful? Lin Shangshu is clearly the wrong child!

The talent of a daughter's family was reincarnated in a man, which is simply a violent thing! Even many people are secretly muttering, if Lin Zifan is a woman, I don't know how amazing it can be......

Lin Zifan was not completely unaware of this kind of thoughts and remarks, but he didn't bother to deal with them...... After all, this is a concept that has been formed over thousands of years, and it is impossible to change it in a short period of time.

At this moment, seeing more and more officials coming, Lin Zifan rolled his eyes and smiled. Then he took out a cigarette and put it to his mouth, and took out a match...... Tear and pull~!

The faint light of the fire accompanied by the slight smell of gunpowder escaped, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Then, everyone found that Lin Zifan was holding a small stick that didn't know what it was and a little spark at one end, and he took a deep breath......

"Whew!"

After inhaling, it is natural to exhale~! A burst of smoke erupted, with a slightly strange smell, which made all the officials present a little confused.

"What's that?"

"What kind of moth is Lin Shangshu playing with?"

"I don't know...... But you dare to say that Lin Shangshu is playing with moths? hehehe...... I heard it, you pay for the Qinglou tonight, otherwise I'll sue and ......"

"Your aunt, count yourself ruthless! I pay for it, I pay for it, but what the hell is this little stick?"

"Who are you asking me for?"

"Looks interesting......

The people of the Tang Dynasty are highly armed and strong, and there is one thing that far surpasses the people of other countries, that is...... Curiosity!

Curiosity will kill cats, and it will also kill people~! It's like when the tap water was just opened before, I don't know how many people have to dig the bottom to the sky even if they are on top of dozens of boards, and see why water comes out of the water pipes......

At this moment, Lin Zifan stood there, holding a cigarette in one hand, swallowing clouds and spitting fog from time to time, and put on a lonely and unfathomable posture, so that they could see it, like a hundred claws scratching their hearts, one by one, curious......

"What the hell is that?"

"A little stick, lit, take a puff, puff out of your mouth? It's kind of funny......

"I can breathe fire, but I really can't breathe smoke!"

"Yo yo yo can still puff smoke out of your nose? Is it so fun?"

The ministers were very curious, but they were too embarrassed to come forward and ask......

But Xiong Chumo and the Li family sisters and other department officials didn't have this concern, and they all expressed curiosity and wanted to know what this thing was.

Of course, Lin Zifan would not hide it, he said that it was a cigarette, and then took out a box of women's cigarettes, shared one with each of them, and even helped them light it with his own hands and teach them how to smoke......

Just a few breaths passed, and in the Jinluan Palace, there was a burst of coughing......

For Xiong Chumo and the Li sisters, who have never smoked, cigarettes are obviously a very stimulating thing, and they inhale them directly into their lungs, so they will naturally cough badly.

Li Zhongting said that she couldn't stand this and put out the cigarette, so did Xiong Chumo. But Li Gangdan'er, Tie Dan'er, Goudan'er and others, while coughing, took another breath, and while spewing smoke, they showed a look of intoxication......

Even though they choked on tears and came out, their faces were still full of intoxication, as if cigarettes made them hurt and happy, although it hurt, they were unwilling to let go......

Then, it was Lin Zifan and a few women standing in a cloud of clouds and mist, which made the ministers even more curious......

"What the hell is going on? Some people can't stand it when they take a sip, but there are also people who cough and cry at the same time, but they continue to smoke as if they don't want to give up?"

"It's weird!"

"Is it the same as chili peppers, depending on personal taste, some people like it, and some people hate it?"

"It should be, but this cloud-swallowing appearance looks like a fairy, I want to try it......"

"Forget it, you can enjoy such good things as you drink, I think this thing is a good thing for me......

"Pull it down, you blind daddy!"

Among the hundreds of officials, almost all of them expressed extreme curiosity and wanted to try it for themselves.

But Lin Zifan's identity is there, and many people who don't have enough official positions dare not come forward......

However, there are so many people among them who are not among them, such as General Huo~!

"I said Lin Shangshu, what kind of cigarette are you, and you have one with General Ben?" she poked her hand, and a smile was piled up on top of Lori's face.

"Do you want to smoke too?" Lin Zifan glanced at her, pouted and said: "This is a good thing, a rare thing, you can't, it's a waste, forget it!"

"Nonsense!"

General Huo Da was furious: "Under the whole world, there are still generals who won't?" I said Lin Shangshu, you shouldn't be too stingy, right?"

"It's just a cigarette, why bother? Come on, come on, take out one, and General Ben will smoke it for you!"

"Are you really good?" Lin Zifan looked at her, still a little hesitant, making General Huo feel that his self-esteem and dignity had been seriously 'insulted'!

"That's nature! What can't Ben do? Come!" General Huo glared......

"That'...... Alas......" Lin Zifan shook his head and sighed, and then took out the cigarette case that looked quite tall from his arms with great reluctance, carefully took out one, and then handed it to General Huo with a heartache on his face......

Seeing this, the latter was even more curious and wanted to try it even more, and instantly snatched the cigarette and held it to his mouth.
