"The medicinal materials used in this fragrant pill have only been roughly ground and are of low quality."
Concubine Shu turned her head and glanced at Yang Guibi: "What do you think, sister Guibi?"
Yang Guibin saw that what Li Sixu presented was not the fragrant recipe she had been taught on the road. Then she took a look at the proud face of Ji'an County Lord and guessed that Li Sixu was being plotted.
Yang Guibin's face darkened: "You are still young when you are ten years younger!"
"My concubine sister is right. The incense made by the Tenth Princess is a bit ugly, but she is still young after all. It doesn't hurt that she doesn't know how to make incense."
Concubine Shu smiled brightly: "What is the effect of this incense made by Xiaoshi?"
"This incense is used to repel insects."
The perfumer in the Xia room saw Li Sixu being ridiculed and couldn't help but want to tell him what happened when he was mixing perfume, but Li Sixu stopped him.
She didn't care and smiled at Concubine Shu: "Your Majesty is right, Sisi is still young, how can she know how to make any fragrance? So she picked medicinal materials such as coriander, asarum, tonka, kaempferia, and rugosa. , made into this insect-repelling fragrant pill.”
"It's so generous!"
Li Sixu cupped her hands and smiled sweetly: "Sisi just came to Zilan Palace to join in the fun and see the sisters and ladies making incense."
The little imperial sister, who had recently been favored by her father, was so humble and said that she was just joining in the fun to see them making incense and made a lot of good impressions.
The princesses thought it was okay that the little princess was still young and didn't know how to make incense. On the contrary, she could use medicinal materials to make insect repellent pills, which was considered very clever.
Among the many kinds of fragrant pills produced, the fragrant pills made by Princess Yongmu and Ji'an County are of the best quality.
Not liking Li Sixu's joke, the head of Ji'an County just wanted to suppress Princess Yongmu in making incense: "My Lady, are you going to order someone to fetch flint?"
"Sister Ji'an, are you anxious to compete with sister Mu?"
The show is about to begin!
Li Sixu took the bowl of Sushan that Yue'er had brought, scooped it into her mouth in small sips, and smiled with crooked eyes: "The incense made by Sister Ji'an must be very delicious, Sisi can't wait to think about it." Smell the fragrance of plum blossoms made by Sister Ji’an!”
The head of Ji'an County felt that if Li Sixu didn't speak, no one would treat her as a mute, and even if she knocked over her spices, she wouldn't get any benefits. She gave Li Sixu an annoyed look.
Concubine Shu ordered the palace servants to bring flint and steel to light the incense pills made by Princess Ji'an and Yongmu. The head of Ji'an County was confident that the incense recipe she got from Wu Jieyu would be able to outdo Princess Yongmu and retrieve the incense pills. The first time I lost face at the lotus appreciation banquet.
However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
The incense pills she made were indeed more refreshing and elegant when burning than those prepared by Princess Yongmu, and smelled extremely good. However, shortly after lighting the incense, there was a sudden buzzing sound.
To keep cool, the windows of Qingfeng Hall are open.
Then from all the windows, a bunch of insects suddenly flew in and rushed towards the fragrant pills she made.
In just a few breaths, before Shu Fei and Yang Guibin could react, a bunch of insects had already crawled on the incense burner where the master of Ji'an County lit the incense.
What was even more disgusting was yet to come. Through the open window, a bunch of insects with flying wings poured in.
Some people cried and screamed when they were frightened by the bugs, while others sobbed and cried.
Concubine Shu was also extremely afraid of bugs. She saw clearly the black mass pouring in and screamed: "Quick, quick, close the window, please hurry up."
Princess Yue was also frightened by the sudden influx of bugs, and screamed: "Sister Sisi, sister Mu, there are so many bugs, the incense made by sister Ji'an attracts bugs, it attracts a lot of bugs."
"How come there are so many bugs all of a sudden?"
Princess Yongmu thought of what Li Sixu had said when she presented the fragrant pills to Concubine Shu, and she shouted in a hurry: "The fragrant pills made by the little imperial sister are insect-repelling fragrant pills. Please light up the fragrant pills she made."
There were too many bugs coming in, and the palace maids and eunuchs were also afraid of bugs. They closed the windows to avoid being crawled by the bugs in the dark, so they quickly picked up the fragrant pills made by Li Siwa and lit them all.
Something magical happened again!
Not long after the incense made from Li Shiwa was lit, the insects that came in like a tide flew neatly and orderly into the dense forest outside the window. After half a stick of incense, the insects flew cleanly. Only those who had burned the incense made by Ji'an County Beside the incense burner, a few insects died after being smoked to death.
In the angry eyes of everyone, the Lord of Ji'an County, who recovered from the shock, finally realized that something was wrong.
The prescription was given by Empress Jieyu, and was made into fragrant pills that were often burned in the palace. Even the emperor's uncle loved the plum blossom fragrance that could relieve fatigue.
She made incense according to the recipe given by Empress Jieyu, how could she attract insects?
She thought she would definitely come out on top in the Douxiang competition, but in the end, she was disturbed by a nasty kid.
The head of Ji'an County looked at Li Sixu with red and swollen eyes: "Why did you destroy the fragrant pills I made? Why are you so vicious at such a young age?"
Li Sixu looked confused and looked at the perfumer in the Xia room with aggrieved eyes.
Even if the perfumer had a humble status and risked offending the Lord of Ji'an County, he couldn't care less about it at the moment.
"I dare to ask, this servant, if the Lord of Ji'an County destroyed the fragrant pills himself, must the tenth princess be blamed?"
The perfumer knelt down towards Concubine Shu and said, "My dear, the Lord of Ji'an County accused the tenth princess of destroying the fragrant pills she made. This is really nonsense. As soon as he entered the Xia Zihao incense workshop, the Lord of Ji'an County suddenly poured it on the slave, slave. By accident, she rushed towards the Tenth Princess and knocked over the spices that the Tenth Princess was grinding carefully."
"The Tenth Princess asked the Lord of Ji'an County to compensate her for the spices. The Lord of Ji'an County said that the Tenth Princess was raped by his slave."
"The slave originally wanted to go to the empress to plead guilty and ask for spices for the ten princesses to continue making incense. The tenth princess was afraid of breaking the rules of the incense competition, so she stopped the slave and said that she was here to see the princesses and the empresses making incense. It’s fragrant, but if you can’t mix the fragrant incense she wants, then make some other incense!”
"After the spices were knocked over, the tenth princess could not use many spices. In addition, it took so long, so she could only use the remaining medicinal materials to roughly grind them into fragrant pills to repel insects."
The perfumer looked at County Lord Ji'an angrily: "The tenth princess has suffered so much injustice. She knows the general situation so well at such a young age, and even drove away the bugs that Lord Ji'an provoked. Does Lord Ji'an really want to bite her back? "
Faced with the perfumer's life-threatening accusation, the owner of Ji'an County was stunned!
Seeing as she came from Ning Prince's Mansion, no one dared to be so disrespectful in front of her.
The Lord of Ji'an County was stunned, and Chu Chu pitifully wiped away her tears: "Mother, this cheap servant is spitting blood. Ji'an was just recovering from a serious illness, and she was weak, so she accidentally bumped into her. She knocked over the spices of the ten princesses, but she blamed her. Come to Ji'an."
"This old guy is obviously colluding secretly with the tenth princess, and they are colluding with each other!"
The Lord of Ji'an County knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the Tenth Princess must have secretly played tricks with her to destroy the incense made in Ji'an. Please make the decision for Ji'an!"
