"Ah, I forgot to tell you that I come here in men's clothes, and there are many people in this place, so as not to let those who talk too much to see and say behind my back that I will meet men in the teahouse."

The lord of Baozhuang is quick to talk.

Minghui wants to cry, now you don't have to worry, those people who talk a lot change to saying that I came to the teahouse to meet men.

I still picked Huo Bao when he was not at home.

Minghui felt that she was even more wronged than Dou E, her family Huo was preserved, her head was not bald, her belly was not big, she was not tired of it.

"County Lord, I don't know what is the matter with you calling me over? This place, ah, this place......"

】

Minghui didn't hide her embarrassment, and she also exaggerated a few points on the basis of the original.

Now, she's a bag that has been cleaned up.

The county lord of Baozhuang originally smiled presumptuously, but when he saw Minghui's pitiful appearance, his smile stiffened, and he stopped talking nonsense, and went directly to the topic: "I won't tell you, the day before yesterday was a thousand changes, I went to you on purpose, I have something to ask you." ”

Minghui frowned: "If the queen announces my entry into the palace, then the county lord should change the topic." ”

The county lord of Baozhuang was stunned, but he didn't expect Minghui to be so alert when he was young.

She really wanted to ask about it, that day when she saw Minghui playing incense seals, her expression was focused, and she knew that Minghui had grown up in Taoism since she was a child, coupled with the ever-changing business, it was the people of the county lord of Ruyang who were taking care of it, therefore, the county lord of Baozhuang thought that Minghui was a fragrant idiot, she had seen a lot of such people, most of them were people with no distractions and simple minds, and the county lord of Ruyang did business with Minghui, just fancy Minghui's ability to make incense.

Just now, seeing Minghui's frightened and overwhelmed appearance, the county lord of Baozhuang confirmed his guess even more.

The young lady of the Marquis of Changping Mansion is just a little dull little girl.

A child who grew up in a Taoist temple in the mountains, if it wasn't like this, it would be strange.

But now, before her words were spoken, Minghui directly blocked back.

The smile of the county lord of Baozhuang was a little stiff: "You think about it too much, the affairs in the palace, where can a county lord like me ask." ”

Minghui patted her chest coquettishly: "Oh, I'm scared to death, I'm afraid that the county lord will ask, it turns out that I think too much, I just haven't seen the world, and I will always make a fuss when something happens." ”

"That's because you're too young, you've lived in the capital for a few more years, you've seen more people and things, and you've practiced it."

The county lord of Baozhuang smiled and said a few more words, diverted the topic, and said: "By the way, speaking of the palace, I remember that when the Queen Mother had not gone to Zixiao Palace to cultivate in the past, the fragrance in Cining Palace was also wafting, and that fragrance, I smelled it once, and I could never forget it." ”

Minghui's heart moved slightly, what did the county lord of Baozhuang mean by this?

Minghui has been to Cining Palace twice, the first time, when she first got married, incense was indeed burned in Cining Palace, but it was sandalwood, and in Chaoyang Palace, where the queen lived, sandalwood was also burned.

Minghui remembered this very clearly, and she was still thinking at that time that the Chaoyang Palace was deserted, and it was appropriate to use sandalwood, but Cining Palace was full of flowers, which was incompatible with sandalwood.

The second time, a few days ago, although the queen took an incense pill to show her, there was no incense in Cining Palace at that time.

Not only did she not burn it at that time, but at least she hadn't burned it for some days, Minghui's nose was extremely sensitive to the aroma, but she could smell it if she had burned incense recently.

Seeing that Minghui was silent, the county lord of Baozhuang said again: "Although I am the lord of the county, I am not a delicate person in private, I am not interested in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, let alone this incense, our palace also burns incense, that is, incense sticks, buy by catty, buy bundles by bundles, for Tianzun to offer ancestors, all with incense."

That was in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and I knew for the first time that this incense could be roasted on top of the incense ash. ”

Minghui remembered, similar words, the county lord of Baozhuang also said last time, she said that before that, she thought that putting incense on top of the incense ash was already delicate enough, but she didn't expect that there was such a way to play with incense seals.

It is baked on top of the incense ash, and it is a fragrant ball.

It turned out that the first time the lord of Baozhuang saw the use of incense pills was in Cining Palace.

Minghui remembered that Gonggong Cai, who hanged himself, wasn't he the great eunuch of Cining Palace?

What does the lord of Baozhuang mean when he talks about this?

Minghui and Yourongyan: "Ah, it turns out that the Queen Mother is also a person who loves incense." ”

The county lord of Baozhuang squinted at her with the corner of his eye, could it be that he didn't look away, this is a fragrant nerd? "Yes, but at that time, there were no flowers in the capital", what are you proud of, that is not the incense you made.

Minghui's eyes were visibly disappointed.

The county lord of Baozhuang was in a good mood and continued: "At that time, I was not married, and I was still thinking about my daughter's family, and I was curious about everything, so I asked the queen mother, this fragrance is really good, what kind of fragrance is it." ”

Minghui's heart was raised, and she heard the county lord of Baozhuang say quietly: "The queen mother said that this is a tribute, and she doesn't know what kind of incense it is." ”

Minghui was a little regretful, but she became curious: "Hey, I only know that fruits and silk will be tributed, but I don't know that incense can also be tributed, but I don't know where to pay tribute, I want to see and see the local area." ”

The county lord of Baozhuang smiled slightly: "The tribute is not only fruits and silk, but also all kinds of porcelain and tea, as well as many things you can't think of.......

The county lord of Baozhuang paused when she said this, she looked around, and there was a hint of cunning in her eyes: "But so far, the incense used in the palace is made by the incense supervisor of the Divine Palace Bureau, of course, it will occasionally be purchased from outside the palace, but there are not many, just like the last time it was purchased from Hua Qianchang." Although there are tributes in various places, they are only limited to spices, whether it is incense sticks or incense pills, they are limited to the two ways I mentioned, either made in the palace themselves, or occasionally procured outside the palace, but what is procured outside the palace is procured, but it is not tribute. ”

Minghui understood, the county lord of Baozhuang said so much, in the final analysis, there is only one meaning.

The Queen Mother is lying!

"The Queen Mother uses incense pills?" Minghui asked repeatedly.

"Yes, Xiangmaru", the county lord of Baozhuang looked at Minghui with a meaningful gaze, "You entered the palace that day, it was also for Xiangmaru, I heard that the queen was summoned in Cining Palace?" ”

For example, the identity of the county lord of Baozhuang, if there is no internal response in the palace, it is not realistic.

But her internal response only knew that the queen summoned Minghui in Cining Palace, but she didn't know the reason for letting Minghui enter the palace.

Ming Hui smiled, a little embarrassed: "The county lord has said it, don't ask, don't embarrass me." ”

That's an acknowledgement.

The county lord of Baozhuang smiled: "Your Huo Shizi is a good hand at investigating eucalyptus, if you want to come to these things, he should have found out early in the morning." By the way, there's one more thing......"
