The news that Shangshu Zhong wanted to take a concubine had been aroused half a month ago, but just last night the news that Shangshu Zhong and Mrs. Zhong had reconciled was spread.
I heard that Zhong Shangshu gave away all the young maids in the family with money, leaving none, leaving only some middle-aged maids to serve him.
Mrs. Zhong was overjoyed and quickly told General Han about this.
In the following days, Mrs. Zhong and Shangshu became inseparable, becoming a couple that everyone envied among the ladies in the capital.
In the house of a noble man, who does not have three wives and four concubines?
There are very few families like theirs where there is only one wife who is devoted to everything. ?.?????.???
A group of ladies were filled with envy when they heard what Mrs. Zhong had said.
"I remember that Shangshu Zhong wanted to take a concubine some time ago. Why are he and Mrs. Zhong so affectionate now?"
The speaker was the second daughter of Mr. Wu's family. She was married to a third-rank official in the capital. She already had three or four concubines in her family. After hearing about Mrs. Zhong, she felt a little jealous.
Another lady held up her sleeves and covered her mouth with a smile: "Maybe Mrs. Zhong has some secret recipe for a royal husband, which made Zhong Shangshu look back."
When the ladies present heard this, they quickly asked, "What secret recipe did Mrs. Zhong get? Can we also ask for it?"
The second young lady of the Wu family pricked up her ears and wanted to ask, but was too embarrassed to ask, so she said sarcastically: "What secret recipe? I think she used some means to make Zhong Shangshu give up the idea of taking a concubine."
At this time, someone stood up and said: "I guess there is no secret recipe. Mrs. Zhong and Shangshu Zhong used to have a deep friendship. There was just some misunderstanding between them. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, the relationship will naturally change again." alright."
When the ladies heard this, their faces were filled with disappointment.
At this moment, someone else stood up and said: "However, I have heard some rumors. Some time ago, Mrs. Zhong went to the Zhoujia Incense Shop and bought a kind of fragrant pill called Chunyi Nong. Since buying this incense, Mrs. Zhong Madam and Zhong Shangshu are together almost every night."
These words made all the ladies blush.
A bold lady smiled and said, "Is it possible that the fragrance has an effect?"
"Then I don't know. No one said it smells like this, but we can all try it. Maybe it will actually work. Moreover, the fragrant pills are also very fragrant, so it's not a loss to buy them." The man smiled.
This person is actually Han Yaner's best friend, who got married before her, and often hangs out among these women in the capital.
Han Yan'er heard that she was coming to Wu Mansion to enjoy the flowers, so she specially taught her to say so.
Sure enough, what she said really had an effect.
Although the ladies didn't say anything after hearing this, when they returned to the house, they all sent their maids to the Zhou Family Incense Shop to buy incense.
Especially Miss Wu Er, who bought five boxes in one purchase.
She ordered Chunxiang that night, and she didn't know if it was a coincidence that her man, who was always sarcastic to her, actually slept in her room and said a lot of sweet words.
The two of them had been busy all night.
On the second day, Miss Wu brought the incense and thought of her sister Wu Guifei.
Recently, the emperor was very indifferent to Concubine Wu because of the new concubine Ru who entered the palace, which made Concubine Wu very worried.
Second Miss Wu specially brought the spring breeze to Concubine Wu, "Concubine Wu, look at this."
Concubine Wu was still a little weak due to miscarriage. She lowered her head and glanced at the box in Miss Wu Er's hand, and said with disdain: "Where did this junk thing come from?"
Miss Wu Er opened the box, took out the fragrant pills and handed them to her. She smiled and said, "My dear, this is not some junk. This is the fragrance that can make a man change his mind."
"Can you make a man change his mind?" Concubine Wu snorted coldly, not believing it at all. She lowered her head and looked at the diamond on her nails, "Sister, don't be deceived."
Miss Wu Er put the incense pills back into the box, lowered her head slightly, and said with a hint of shyness: "Madam, I lit this incense last night, and my master is still unwilling to leave in the morning."
Concubine Wu was shocked when she heard this, "Really? I heard that your wife hasn't been in your room for a long time."
Miss Wu Er nodded, "Really, if you don't believe me, just take a look."
As he spoke, he pulled up his clothes, revealing a hickey on his neck.
Concubine Wu raised her eyes, sat up straight, and said seriously: "Is it really because you lit this incense?"
Miss Wu Er pulled up her clothes again with a smile on her face, "Yes, it's because I lit this incense."
Concubine Wu immediately became interested. She took the incense box that she had just disliked and smelled the incense pills inside. "It's indeed very fragrant. I'll try it tonight too."
Miss Wu Er smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor didn't punish you for such a big thing last time, and his affection for you is still there. He only likes Concubine Ru for a temporary novelty. Once he has this fragrance, he will I will definitely come back to you."
Concubine Wu felt happy after hearing this. She took out a fragrant pill and smelled it again and again. "If this is possible, it would be great."
Miss Wu hurried back and gave the incense to Concubine Wu, but she did not stay long.
She stood up slowly, bowed and left Concubine Wu's palace.
Seeing Miss Wu Er leave, Concubine Wu immediately asked the palace maid to light the incense, and then sent another palace maid to invite the emperor.
At night, the emperor came as expected.
