"There are no new bouquets in the palace. None of these flowers were given to us by God. It is not easy to have so many."
Queen Changsun said.
Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Du and the others thought for a moment and nodded.
Indeed!
Whether or not there are new flowers really depends on God’s will.
If not, there is nothing they can do.
"Why……."
"When autumn comes, you can still smell the fragrance of ripe crops in the past. It's a pity this year, you can't smell anything at all."
"On weekdays, I really can only live with the sachet."
Mrs. Du gently shook the sachet on her body.
"Is this sachet...is it from the spice shop at the top of the city?" Mrs. Wei's eyes tightened, she looked over, and she took a greedy breath with her nose.
"I've also heard that that spice shop has become popular all over the city. Those sachets are really good. No wonder it attracts girls from all over the city to buy them."
"This spice shop has made a fortune."
Mrs. Cheng said with a smile: "I bought a few a few days ago. Look, my sachet is still peony-flavored."
Mrs. Cheng also took off the sachet from her waist and placed it on the table.
"Peony-scented one? Wow, Sister Cheng, how did you buy it? When I went to buy it, the peony-scented sachet was gone."
Mrs. Qin held the sachet in her hand in surprise and said with great joy,
"Who says otherwise? The scent of peony is still the most popular among these sachets." Mrs. Cheng nodded.
Queen Changsun looked at several people gathering together to discuss the sachet, stretched out her hand, and gently took the peony sachet.
"Your Majesty, do you know if there are any sachets made in the palace?" Mrs. Wei asked quickly.
Every year, someone in the palace specially makes sachets.
The craftsmanship and craftsmanship are much higher than outside.
Every year, Queen Changsun would give them some.
Queen Changsun smiled.
"This year, I lost all those sachets." Empress Changsun said with a smile.
"Ah? Lost it? Madam, why?"
"My dear, even if this year's sachet has some flaws, we can't waste it like this."
"That's right, your Majesty, we are all members of our own family, so don't let anyone see you outside. I don't know where your Majesty is."
"Mother, is it really lost? This..."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wei and the others all gathered around, their faces full of pity and their eyes full of regret.
To be honest, the craftsmanship in the palace, including those sachets and so on, is much better than outside.
Even if there are some flaws, it is definitely far superior to the spice shops outside.
What a pity.
Queen Changsun looked at their distressed expressions and shook her head.
"No, those sachets are already a thing of the past. This year, we have better replacements in the palace."
Queen Changsun said with a smile.
Substitute? !
All the ladies were at a loss.
Replacement of sachet? Why was this sachet replaced? !
Queen Changsun looked at their unfortunate looks, waved her hand, and ordered the maid to come up.
Porcelain bottles were placed on the table one by one.
Mrs. Wei and the others were at a loss.
What's this?
bottle?
Is it possible that I will have to take the bottle with me in the future?
hiss……
They are really confused by Monk Zhang Er. What does this mean? How can this be replaced? No matter how you look at it, sachets are better than these bottles.
"What is this?" Mrs. Cheng asked doubtfully.
Empress Changsun fiddled with the porcelain bottles gently, put them all away, and uttered two words with a smile: "Perfume."
perfume.
What is this?
Mrs. Cheng and the others were even more confused.
"Perfume? This... Concubine, how do you use this? Oh, please show us how to use it. Concubine, my heart is itching."
Mrs. Cheng is anxious.
Queen Changsun smiled softly.
She didn't show off and opened a bottle directly.
In an instant, a scent filled the surrounding area.
And what a coincidence, the fragrance in this bottle is exactly peony.
In an instant, everyone's eyes seemed to pop out.
this……
They were completely confused.
Just smelling the fragrance lingering around me, I felt a little overwhelmed.
what happened?
Why does it smell so good all of a sudden?
It feels like being in a sea of peonies, which makes people forget to leave.
And the smell... was too pure and too authentic. They felt their whole bodies were numb, and they were so intoxicated that they didn't want to wake up.
Queen Changsun looked at their appearance and smiled.
"How does this taste?"
she said softly.
"Oh My God!!!"
"Absolutely, phew...Mother, this smell...could it come from this bottle? It's unbelievable!!"
Mrs. Du stared at the small porcelain bottle with a horrified expression.
When had she ever seen anything like this?
When had she ever smelled such a pure aroma?
To put it bluntly, this smell can completely overwhelm all sachets.
No matter what kind of sachet it is, it has no power to fight back in front of this porcelain bottle. Moreover, Mrs. Du suddenly felt. As long as there is perfume, it can completely suppress a perfume shop.
That's right!
No scent in the entire spice shop is as overbearing as this perfume! !
Not only her, but the other ladies of the country were also stunned.
The sachet in my hand became dull in an instant, and there was only this perfume in my eyes.
"Yes, my dear, how is this perfume made? Is there any more? Sister, I am willing to sell it. Tell me, how much does it cost?"
"Empress, good sisters, please share some with us. Otherwise, how will we live our lives in the future?"
"Oh my God, I swear, nothing can compare to this smell, not even peonies in full bloom!!"
"I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore, I can't even walk. This smell... my body is already numb. Madam, if you don't give me some, I won't leave."
"……."
At the scene, the eyes of these princesses were a little red.
As long as you are a woman, there is no resistance to perfume.
Staring at these perfumes with all my heart.
His eyes were blank.
It means something cracked.
"Hehehe..."
Empress Changsun gently capped this porcelain vase and opened another porcelain vase.
Suddenly, the fragrance of osmanthus rose to the sky.
Not weaker than Peony at all.
It's fresh and sweet, and it's very intoxicating. It's completely different from the scent of peony.
"I want to buy this perfume, but there is no place to buy it. I got these from Prince Chu's Mansion."
"It's all created by Kuan'er himself. It's unique in the world."
Queen Changsun said with a smile.
Kuan'er?
King of Chu?
unique?
hiss……
When all the duchess and ladies heard this, they became angry again.
Let me ask that woman, what if she doesn’t like unique things?
"Empress, His Highness the King of Chu is... not young, right? My Du family girl is Du Ruyan. As you know, I am about the same age as Princess Changle, and only one or two years older than His Highness the King of Chu. "
"How about...what do you think of Ruyan being betrothed to the King of Chu?"
Immediately, Mrs. Du said directly.
"Empress, my girl is not that big either. If you calculate carefully, she is actually the same size as His Highness the King of Chu, but she is older in age."
Hongfu Nu, who had always been taciturn, could not sit still at this time and said: "His Royal Highness King Chu and Wan'er are a perfect match."
Mrs. Qin swallowed her saliva, her voice was trembling, and she hurriedly said: "Madam, the one in my family is one year younger than His Highness the King of Chu. Although he is still a little young now, in two or three years, he will be worthy of His Highness the King of Chu." , After all, Your Highness is not very old, and when the time comes for marriage, it will be just right, no delay, no delay..."
"……."
When these princes and ladies heard the name of King Chu, they couldn't sit still at all.
The name of King Chu!
Who in the whole world has not heard of it?
Even Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Changsun have no daughters. They also started to introduce their nieces and nephews.
Extremely enthusiastic.
Empress Changsun was a little overwhelmed.
She had never expected this, and she couldn't help but laugh and cry.
"This brat's marriage... His Majesty and I have also discussed it, but now he has gone somewhere."
"To be honest, I don't dare to agree to it casually."
"The King of Chu is different from other princes. You all know this."
Queen Changsun's voice was also quite helpless.
To be honest, these marriages are not bad.
She really wanted to agree,
However, she already seemed to be losing control of King Chu.
This brat's thoughts are definitely not on this. As a mother, although she is a little moved, she still doesn't dare to delay her child's pursuit.
Of course, the most important thing is that the King of Chu is not a big man.
Let him make his own choice.
King Chu...
call……
Empress Changsun really couldn't grasp his wisdom, his talent, and his ideas.
When Queen Changsun's voice fell, Madam Du and the others were also stunned and nodded.
This is indeed the case.
"Yes, His Majesty the King of Chu...hey..."
"If I were decades younger, I would definitely be obsessed with King Chu."
Mrs. Du sighed.
Queen Changsun:...
"King Chu, what are you doing? Madam, when King Chu comes back, we will definitely make arrangements to have a meal together."
Mrs. Du said quickly.
"That's for sure, but...when will King Chu come? I don't know yet, and I really can't figure him out."
Queen Changsun nodded and said.
"His Royal Highness King Chu is too outstanding. I really don't know how His Highness researched these... baby!"
"Huh...that's great."
Mrs. Du looked at the perfume, took a deep breath, and didn't know how to praise it.
For a moment, the garden fell into deep thought.
How can a Qilinzi like His Highness the King of Chu be reborn? !
The Duke and his wives were thinking in their minds.
However, in the end they all despaired.
I guess there is no other way.
…….…………
And just when everything was relaxing in the imperial city.
Northern Xinjiang.
On the vast grassland.
The cold wind howled.
A pair of men and horses came through the wind and headed straight for the Turkic royal court.
Jieli Langya's face was as cold as ice.
His hair and eyebrows were already covered with dew.
Running wildly all the way, like a sharp arrow, heading straight to the Turkic grassland without taking any diagonal paths.
They really don’t stop!
The horse under his crotch has long been exhausted.
But fortunately, after traveling thousands of miles, the Turkic grassland is right in front of us.
Turkic royal court.
Jieli Khan, and other tribal leaders.
All in the royal court.
Drink!
Have fun!
Then wait for the tribute from Tang Dynasty to the Turks so that they can be divided together.
The Turkic Empire was a tribal alliance, with Jieli Khan as the co-leader of the tribes, but the leaders of these tribes still had considerable rights.
Jieli Khan also tried his best to win over these tribes.
"Khan, come on, drink, drink, keep drinking!"
"Haha, hahaha...Prince Langya is going to Chang'an in person this time. He probably has a lot more stuff than before."
Tuli Khan shouted.
"Who says it's not the case? Three years ago, at this stop, my Turkic power was unstoppable. It was really fun!!"
"Jieli Khan, when will you lead your people and charge again?"
"Three years ago, it was a pity that we did not attack Chang'an. Your loyal people were all looking forward to it."
The leader of the Tiele tribe shouted.
He was sitting in the royal court like a furry bear, holding a leg of lamb in his hand and roaring loudly.
"Hahaha... Yes, yes, Jieli Khan's heroic appearance three years ago is still fresh in our memories.
"Forcing the Tang King to bow his head, beheaded his most beloved white horse, and then surrendered to us."
"This is really... giving me the power of the Turks!"
The leader of the Shiwei tribe held the skull and wine glass in his hands, his eyes were like wolf butts, and he roared excitedly.
"Yes, yes, Khan, I will invite you to fight. When the tribute arrives, we will rush straight to Chang'an in one go. Hahaha... I heard that the concubines of the Tang Dynasty are really good, especially the Empress Changsun. I heard She is quite famous, if she can be kidnapped to my grassland and become my concubine, such a beautiful thing will last forever, yes, yes!!"
"Hahaha……."
Other tribal leaders also echoed loudly.
The thick sounds gathered together and resounded throughout the Turkic grassland.
At this moment, the cattle and sheep outside the royal court raised their grazing heads and turned to the Turks, as if they were surrendering.
Jieli Khan wears a woolen coat.
He looked at the central stove.
He swallowed the big mouthful of mutton and took a heavy sip of wine.
The majestic body moved, and the thick cowhide and sheepskin cushions beneath him creaked.
"It seems like the winter snow will come earlier this year."
"You're right, it's time to go south again."
"It's been three years. I haven't gone south for three years. In comparison, the people of the Tang Dynasty have been fattened up. It's time for us to go harvest some."
"Tell our little wolves to be ready to take action. When the time comes, I will give the order and all of us will attack!
Jieli Khan growled.
As soon as these words came out, the entire royal court suddenly exploded.
Tuli Khan Tiele Khan Shiwei Khan...
