"Hey, King Qi is filial piety and Concubine Zhen's sister, like we can only look at perfume, the best spice and can't use it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo“

Concubine Zhen and Queen Zhao asked and answered, and the other concubines were very hot about the perfume, but there was no time to interject, seeing that the perfume seemed to be about to fall, Concubine Shu said.

Although these words praise the filial piety of King Qi, everyone can hear the sourness in it.

Empress Zhao smiled gently, she was able to govern the harem peacefully, relying on the idea of taking into account all the concubines, she said: "Sister Shufei is wrong, Sister Zhen also said, this perfume was given to me by King Qi, but I didn't say that your sisters don't have a share, so many perfumes are here, and this palace can't be used by one person." ”

"What Niangniang said is, sisters, King Qi sent so many perfumes, but it was for the big guy, but let me distribute it, it will inevitably be a little inconsiderate, so I will give it all to Niangniang." Concubine Zhen said with a smile.

The other concubines suddenly smiled, and Concubine Li said, "King Qi is becoming more and more sensible. ”

Empress Zhao and Concubine Zhen glanced at each other, among the concubines, the relationship between her and Concubine Zhen was still good, because both of them were harmonious and kind people, and no one wanted to offend.

Especially Concubine Zhen, her mother's family has no background, but she can be safe and sound in the harem, relying on her intelligence and character.

Seeing that the other concubines were quite eager to try, Queen Zhao said: "In this case, don't sit still, let's come over and take a look, and take a bottle for each person if you like it." ”

This time, Concubine Zhen is a concubine with a relatively respected status in the harem, and the concubines with a low status naturally dare not come over to do a lot of things.

Empress Zhao agreed, and the other concubines couldn't hold back any longer, and hurriedly stepped forward one by one as if snatching, and after a while, there were only six bottles of perfume left in the box.

These six bottles are two bottles each, naturally they belong to Queen Zhao, and the concubines also know how to be proportionate, so they can't be too greedy at this time.

A room full of concubines competed to try the perfume, and Empress Zhao beckoned to Concubine Zhen at this time, motioning for Concubine Zhen to talk to her alone.

Concubine Zhen understood, and led Empress Zhao to the inside of the main hall, at this time Empress Zhao said: "These perfumes are so unique, they must be expensive, King Qi's fief is barren, and it must have cost a lot of silver taels to take out so many perfumes." “

Then. Concubine Zhen showed a helpless look and said: "It's not a secret, this time the King of Qi sent perfume into the palace, it was indeed to please Niangniang, this matter, the concubine has nothing to hide, Niangniang must also know that Ming'er fled back to Chang'an three years ago, Ming'er did make a big mistake, but the fief is barren, there is no silver two to purge the army, how can the humble 3,000 men and horses on his fief resist the barbarian army, and this time I heard Li San say that it has snowed heavily in Qingzhou for half a month, and the people who can't find food are more than going into the mountains to make a fool of him, although he is giving porridge in six cities, But the silver taels in the treasury are gradually unable to support it. “

After a pause, she said: "So he sent perfume this time, firstly, I hope that Niangniang can help him say a few kind words in front of His Majesty, and allocate some silver taels to help him get through this difficulty, and secondly, he is also forced to be helpless, if His Royal Highness still disagrees, he can only sell perfume to make some silver." ”

"Hey, I didn't expect King Qi's situation to be so difficult, the matter of King Qi fleeing the fiefdom without permission three years ago will still be angry when it comes to the emperor, since he has worked hard this time, I'll try it." Empress Zhao said.

Concubine Zhen blessed her and said, "Queen Xie." ”

"Xie doesn't need to say it, let's talk about it when I find out the emperor's tone." After finishing speaking, Empress Zhao suddenly said with great interest, "You said that King Qi can really refine the required fragrance for this palace?" “

Concubine Zhen was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "In the letter, King Qi did say so. “

"Well, in fact, although these three flavors are good, many concubines now use them." Empress Zhao sighed.

Concubine Zhen is such a smart character, she instantly understood Empress Zhao's intentions, she is the mother of the world, since the other concubines use the same, it seems cliché for her to use it again, she means that she wants Xiao Ming to make a unique perfume for him.

"Niangniang, this matter is not difficult, Niangniang only needs to tell King Qi the perfume she wants, and King Qi promises to only make this kind of perfume for Niangniang, and other concubines will definitely not have it." Concubine Zhen said with a chuckle.

Empress Zhao nodded with satisfaction, still talking easily to smart people, unlike that Concubine De, who pretended to be crazy and stupid.

"Then let King Qi bother, I will talk to the emperor about King Qi tonight." Empress Zhao said.

Concubine Zhen remembered the matter of drunken Qingzhou, and said: "By the way, the king of Qi also sent some wine, it is better for the mother to have a drink with the emperor tonight, the king of Qi said that this kind of wine guarantees that the emperor does not want to leave after drinking." “

"Really?" Empress Zhao was pleasantly surprised.

Like the other concubines, she hopes that the emperor can stay in her palace.

Concubine Zhen nodded, "My sister can guarantee that I have also tasted a little bit of this wine, which can be described as a fine wine." ”

"In that case, the palace will take it back and let the emperor evaluate it."

Empress Zhao got what she wanted, went back to her seat, said a few words to the concubines and left.

When the other concubines saw that the queen was gone, they each made excuses to leave, but after a while, they secretly found them back one by one.

What Queen Zhao thought of, they also thought of, everyone wants their own unique fragrance, Concubine Zhen agreed one by one, but unlike Queen Zhao, she said that it costs a lot to make perfumes, but it costs money.

These concubines come from five surnames and seven hopes, all of them are rich and rival the country, and they have a moon in the palace, and the most important thing in their hands is silver, and the matter of giving out silver is naturally no longer a problem.

After a busy day, the matter of this perfume was settled in the harem, and Concubine Zhen did not go anywhere this night, but waited for news from the queen.

At this time, in the Fengming Palace, Empress Zhao was drinking with Xiao Wenxuan, according to the custom, Xiao Wenxuan would come to the queen every month to sit here, and then go elsewhere.

But today, he was kept by a jar of fine wine.

"This wine was sent by King Qi?" Knowing that the wine was sent to him by King Qi in the palace, Xiao Wenxuan was a little surprised.

Empress Zhao sandwiched a piece of mutton for Xiao Wenxuan and said, "Exactly, it's just that King Qi was afraid that the emperor would be angry, so he came to me and asked my majesty." “

"Humph! Qingzhou is such a barren land, and there is not enough food to eat every year, but he has excess grain to use to make wine. Xiao Wenxuan said angrily, "Three years ago, I really beat me lightly. ”

Empress Zhao said softly: "Your Royal Highness is angry, even if the King of Qi is wrong, it is your son after all, and he is also the prince of the Great Yu Kingdom." ”
