The last time Li Sixu sent someone to send pearl cream to Yue'er, she also sent a box to Princess Yongmu. Princess Yongmu has been applying the pearl cream she sent these days, and her skin tone is much whiter, softer and more delicate.
Grandma Zhou specifically mentioned this matter: "The little princess had someone send me the pearl cream from Xueyao Pavilion last time. My princess has been using it. After applying it these days, her complexion is fair and she is very happy!"
Seeing that Li Sixu didn't want to go to the Incense Fighting Party, she said understandingly: "What my princess means is that the Incense Fighting Party is just for the sisters in the palace to get together and have fun. Concubine Shu called The perfumer is teaching how to make incense, and the noble concubine will also take Princess Yue to participate."
"My princess said that she hasn't seen the little princess for a while since the last lotus appreciation feast, and she wants to meet her through this incense competition."
Yang Guibin loved tinkering with rouge, gouache, and making incense.
Since she would take Yue'er with her, Li Sixu was not so resistant to the incense fighting party organized by Concubine Shu.
She responded and said, "Then go back and tell Sister Mu that Si Siming'er will go to the Purple Orchid Palace with your concubine and Sister Yue."
Li Sixu agreed to go to the Incense Fighting Party in Zilan Palace, and Grandma Zhou left happily.
Seeing Li Sixu's reluctance at first, Doctor Du thought she didn't know how to make perfume, so he gave an idea and said: "I know a few perfume recipes that can dispel fatigue. If the little princess can use them, I will use this." Just write down the recipe."
"Some ugly old men just love to do whatever they want! Are you in need of a perfumer?"
Doctor Sun glanced at Imperial Doctor Du: "If the little girl doesn't like the prescription in my hand, that old man Wang Tao also has a pile of books. He can always choose a good one for her. I guarantee that she will win the incense competition at the Purple Orchid Palace tomorrow. It can be a blockbuster.”
It’s not necessary to be a blockbuster!
Concubine Liu Xian and Concubine Shu were sworn enemies, and Concubine Shu had determined that Princess Yongmu would invite her to the Incense Fighting Party in Purple Orchid Palace.
I wonder what is waiting for her?
In front of Concubine Shu, it's better to hide your clumsiness.
While the two old men were busy bickering, Li Sixu entered the pharmacy and began to think about medicinal materials that could be used to make incense...
Early the next morning, Li Sixu went to Linhua Hall to say hello to Concubine Liu Xian, and then she and Yue'er got on the carriage of Consort Yang.
Yang Guibi said with a gentle expression: "It takes more than a day to make a good incense. For example, the incense pills commonly used by Concubine Shu are made of agarwood, sandalwood, borneol, musk, armor incense, and horse tooth salt. It is made into fine powder, refined and evenly mixed, and stored in the cellar for more than a month before it can be taken out for use."
"Because sandalwood is produced in hot and humid places and has a dry and hot nature. Adding it directly will not achieve the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind. It must be soaked in tea overnight and stir-fried until it is tasteless."
"Agarwood needs to be finely filed, hung in a silk bag in a thorn, soaked in honey water, and boiled over slow fire for a month."
"It's too troublesome to make and adjust the incense!"
Yue'er fell asleep after listening to it. She thought of something before she said excitedly to Li Sixu: "I heard from Sister Mu that this time there will be Sushan and Bingxiao Sesame Festival drinks made by the imperial kitchen. They are so hot. Oh my God, how refreshing it is to have a bite of the cool Sushan and drink a bowl of Bingxiao Sesame Festival Drink."
"Yue'er guesses that if there weren't these two kinds of delicious food, no one would go to this incense fighting party on a hot day."
He only thinks about food and doesn't follow her temper at all.
Yang Guibin looked helpless: "I am saying this because I want to tell you, Sister Sisi, that you don't have to be too cautious. Making good fragrant pills is not something that can be accomplished overnight. The materials and methods used are extremely particular. .”
"The purpose of this incense fighting party organized by Concubine Shu is to teach you some methods of making and blending incense."
"Today's incense fighting party is just a joke!"
Yang Guibin smiled gently at Li Sixu and said: "I happen to have a very simple way to make incense here, agarwood, angelica, rhubarb, alpinia..."
In fact, the princesses and concubines who went to the Purple Orchid Palace to participate in the incense fighting party were accompanied by palace maids who were good at mixing incense. Calling it an incense fighting party was nothing more than arty.
Yang Guibin's original intention was to let Li Sixu and Yue'er follow her to make incense and mix it, but after all, it was Concubine Shu who organized this incense competition.
If we follow the same method as in previous years, we can still get it together.
What if there are changes to this year’s competition?
Thinking of the feud between Concubine Shu and Concubine Liu Xian, she was somewhat worried for Li Sixu.
Li Sixu silently wrote down the recipe taught by Yang Guibin, and said with gratitude: "Sisi, thank you, Concubine Yang, for the advice!"
"You kid, why are you so polite to me?"
Looking at Li Sixu and Yue'er, who were huddled together and muttering, Yang Guibin's eyes were filled with smiles.
When the chariot they were riding in arrived at the entrance of Zilan Palace, Nanny Zhou beside Princess Mu was already waiting.
Hongxiu, who was following Yang Guibin, had just opened the sedan curtain when she saw a sedan passing by them and stopping at the entrance of Zilan Palace.
When Grandma Zhou saw that it was the sedan chair of Hanbing Palace, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
At this time, a fragile beauty wearing a pink palace dress came out of the sedan: "Mother Zhou, but Sister Mu asked you to wait for Ji'an at the palace gate?"
"It turns out to be the Lord of Ji'an County!"
Aunt Zhou took a step back and said, "I thought it was Empress Jieyu's carriage."
"Oh, it was Ji'an who accompanied Qing'er into the palace to pay his respects to Empress Jieyu. Empress Jieyu took pity on Ji'an's frail health and let him sit in her sedan chair for the incense fight."
The Lord of Ji'an County coughed weakly: "There was some misunderstanding between Ji'an and Sister Mu about the Lotus Rewarding Banquet last time. I was originally going to come to the palace to apologize to Sister Mu, but I was so weak that I delayed it for so long."
Yue'er and Li Sixu looked at each other in astonishment!
"Why is there such a shameless person? She has already had such trouble with Sister Mu, and she still has the nerve to get close to Sister Mu."
Yue'er pulled Li Sixu and lowered her voice and said: "She always loves to compare with Sister Mu, and always wants to suppress Sister Mu in front of Father. She doesn't seem to be here to apologize. I think she just wants to use the fragrance , stealing Sister Mu’s limelight.”
Yang Guibin's face doesn't look too good either!
The most important thing in this palace is rules. Even if Wu Jieyu is favored, no Jieyu can ignore her in terms of rules.
Wu Jieyu behaved herself in front of her.
The Lord of Ji'an County blatantly got ahead of Wu Jieyu by riding in her sedan chair.
Who gave you the confidence?
Yang Guibin narrowed her eyes, stretched out her hand for Hongxiu to hold, and coughed: "Mother Zhou, you've been waiting for a long time!"
"Your concubine is finally here!"
Aunt Zhou didn't want to get into trouble with the Lord of Ji'an County. When she saw Yang Guifei getting off the sedan, she happily came up to her and said, "My princess has been waiting at Qingfeng Hall early in the morning. She has been talking about Princess Yue and the little princess for a long time. She specially asked the old slave to wait for her at the Qingfeng Hall. Waiting for the concubine’s sedan chair at the gate of the palace.”
Yang Guibi smiled gently: "Yue'er and Sisi were also talking about their imperial sister along the way. They are the best sisters."
