The imperial concubine is favored by the Six Palaces again

Chapter 264 Osmanthus
"Your Majesty, Jin'an." Jiang Yuming saluted.

"Chacha is here." Meng Chengye got up and pulled Jiang Yuming to the soft couch beside him.

"Your Majesty looks unhappy, but what's bothering you?" Jiang Yuming put the food box on the low table and brought out the soup inside.

"I can't say what's bothering me. Some ministers in the court said that King Xiang is too extravagant and wasteful. I see that they have nothing to do." Meng Chengye picked up the soup and took a sip.

Chacha has improved this time, at least the soup is warm.

"According to the logic, King Xiang has his own fiefdom, food and salary, no matter how extravagant he is, isn't it just spending his own money?" Jiang Yuming didn't understand.

Could it be that the minister who submitted this paper had a grudge against King Xiang?

People have a lot of money, and they spend it as they like, not to mention that Princess Xiang is pregnant now. This is King Xiang's first child, and it may be the eldest son. It is normal for King Xiang to cherish it more.

"I think so too, but there are always a few ministers who always pick on King Xiang's thorns." Meng Chengye gulped down the soup in his hand.

Although King Xiang was not very kind to him when he was a child and always teased him, he also protected him a lot of the time.

Just because he remembered this kindness, Meng Chengye was quite tolerant towards King Xiang.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't mention it, it's not a big deal." Meng Chengye turned his gaze to Jiang Yuming, "Chacha rarely comes to me on my own initiative, so tell me, what can I ask you for? "

Being exposed, Jiang Yuming smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask the emperor to open the gate of Xingsheng Palace."

Meng Chengye raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Yuming intently.

"Isn't there an osmanthus tree inside? When my concubine passed by there, the scent of osmanthus blossoms overflowed, and my concubine wanted to use the osmanthus inside as a sachet." Jiang Yuming turned to look at Meng Chengye.

"The sweet-scented osmanthus inside is indeed very fragrant." Meng Chengye smiled, "But Chacha wants to exchange a bowl of soup for the key?"

Jiang Yuming looked blank: "Does the emperor want anything else?"

Meng Chengye smiled and said nothing.

Not to mention, Jiang Yuming's greeting the next day was Xiao Anzi who told Jiang Yuming a leave.

Jiang Yuming got the key "enduring the humiliation", and happily called Ning Xiaoyuan to Xingsheng Palace in the afternoon.

Naturally, they don't need to pick osmanthus, they just need to stand under the tree and wait.

This kind of work is naturally done by the little eunuch.

Spread a layer of clean silk cloth under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and then shake the sweet-scented osmanthus tree twice, and the sweet-scented osmanthus will fall down.

But this sweet-scented osmanthus tree was quite old, and it was only when a young eunuch climbed up on the tree to shake the branches that the sweet-scented osmanthus fell.

Finally, put away the silk cloth, shake it, pick out the leaves and tiny branches inside, and the sweet-scented osmanthus is collected.

This kind of sweet-scented osmanthus was already very fragrant, so Jiang Yuming was lazy and stuffed it into the sachet without drying it out. Anyway, if the smell is gone, you can replace it with sweet-scented osmanthus.

Bai Guiren came over and asked for some sweet-scented osmanthus to go back, saying that it was used to extract essential oil.

Jiang Yuming was amazed: "Sure enough, Luoxia knows everything."

Bai Guiren pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister, I'm overwhelmed."

The ancient method of purification is more troublesome. It took Bai Guiren half a month to purify a small jar of essential oil, and he gave it to Jiang Yuming.
