The rise of the prince

Chapter 162 Perfume
Li Ye saw Li Huan, and Li Huan also saw him.

Unexpectedly, he didn't show anything special, just glanced at him as usual, and then smiled at him. Seeing that he was so polite, Li Ye naturally responded politely.

Although Li Huan was smiling, Li Ye understood his inner emotions.

No matter how pretentious he is, there will still be flaws in front of Li Ye. Emotions are expressed in many small details of the face. These things are like instincts and cannot deceive people. Therefore, facing psychologists with this knowledge, the subtle facial expressions of ordinary people Will betray the true inner emotions, pretending is useless.

Just like Li Huan was smiling just now, but his eyebrows were obviously drooping, the distance between his eyelids narrowed, his forehead was wrinkled before and after his smile, and his lips trembled slightly due to tension. It was obviously an expression of anger and disgust. Can't fool him.

This is a vengeful person, Li Ye silently remembered it in his heart.

After a while, the eunuchs in the palace brought all kinds of snacks and drinks to condolences to the many emperors and grandchildren. Li Ye didn't understand the cakes, but he only knew that the drinks that were turned in ceramic pots generally included honey water, plum juice and so on.

According to the order, several eunuchs soon arrived at their side, and Li Ye asked for a copy for Di Zhi, which flattered him.

Several of the people present were children, and some of them looked eight or nine years old. When riding a horse, they had to be supported by one person and lead by one person. It was really just an act.

Li Yexian was very bored and asked Di Zhi casually: "Do you have to check again when you leave the city?"

Di Zhi shook his head: "Your Majesty, of course there is no need for this. I checked it when I entered the city. There are no arrows in the city, so I don't need to check it when I go out."

Li Ye nodded, that's right, one inspection is enough, it's a waste of time to check back and forth, logically it makes sense.

But he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but when he thought about it carefully, one inspection was enough, and there seemed to be no problem.

After waiting for less than half an hour, the so-called auspicious time had not yet arrived, and some of the emperor's grandsons had already started to lose their temper impatiently with the accompanying servants. The child was bloody from being pinched and beaten, but he didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only lower his head and let the little master play rough.

To the child, it is really just a joke, and he will take it as a joke, and a distorted world view is established from then on.

If things go on like this, they will really take these things for granted. When they are young, they can treat human life as a joke when they grow up. Therefore, in this era, it is not unusual for the rich and powerful to ignore human life.

Di Zhi looked over there and frowned.

"Do you find it difficult to accept?" Li Ye asked him.

Di Zhi hesitated, but nodded.

"Don't look at them suffering from this embarrassment. They must be the servants with the most monthly money in the mansion. If they go out of the high school, they will be rich and noble." Li Ye said.

Di Zhi supported the knife at his waist, and said calmly, "If I were to do that, I would rather die."

Li Ye glanced at his face, and was suddenly a little surprised, because judging from his facial expression, he was telling the truth. Maybe he really would rather die. There are not many such people in any era.

Li Ye asked curiously, "Where is your home?"

"Reporting to my son, the villain is born in Jiangzhou."

"Why do people from Jiangzhou come to the capital?"

Di Zhi sighed and said, "The old man at home is just a villager. When I was young, the harvest in Jiangzhou was not good and the days were not paid. I ran to the capital to join my relatives. My relatives recommended me to join the Forbidden Army. Since then, I have never returned to Jiangzhou."

Li Ye has a high opinion of him. The imperial army has a hundred soldiers, and all of them are about the same level as the company commander of later generations. The key point is that his father is only a farmer, so he has reached his current position by virtue of his ability. It was not easy for the Imperial Forest Army who did not fight.

After a while, a eunuch finally came to send a message that all the emperors and grandchildren went into battle again and gathered in front of the main hall of Changchun. Li Ye also temporarily separated from him, Di Zhi, and the others, because the imperial army was not allowed to enter the palace, so they could only wait in the outer city.

In the Great Hall of Changchun, many royal children gathered together. The 90-year-old queen mother was sitting at the table, with a lot of silk quilts and pillows under her buttocks and back, otherwise the old man would not be able to sit still.

The old man's eyes are cloudy, his gray hair is thinning, his muscles have begun to wither and curl up, his energy is usually low, but today he is rarely energetic. The queen and concubines of the harem are with her, the emperor is also sitting on the side seat, and Fu An is standing behind him.

The old man with his children and grandchildren is naturally happy. Although he doesn't have the energy to talk, he will nod happily when he sees the gifts presented by each of his children and grandchildren, and then say a few words.

"Grandma, this is the ruby ​​night pearl that my grandson found from the Western Regions with great painstaking efforts. It can be placed in the room at night as a substitute for candles. It looks like a night star during the day." Exquisite gift box.

This luminous pearl is the size of an egg. It is different from other common garnet and emerald luminous pearls. It is actually deep red, flawless and smooth like jade. As the prince said, he covered the surrounding light with his palm, and suddenly the luminous pearl emitted a faint red light. Everyone was amazed. The royal family of the Jing Dynasty loved to collect luminous pearls, but most of them were white garnets or green emeralds, but it was the first time they saw ones that could glow red.

The Queen Mother nodded happily.

The queen also praised with a smile: "This time the prince has put his heart into it, and his filial piety is commendable."

"That's right, it's really filial to be able to take so much effort for your grandma, but don't be anxious, you are the crown prince, and you should set an example for the royal family." The emperor also said a few words seriously.

The prince had to praise and salute happily, and then thanked the queen before stepping down, and then the other princes and princesses also gave him presents one by one, and then the concubine Xian received them.

All kinds of things emerge in endlessly, including calligraphy and painting, food, porcelain, glazed products, etc. Seeing all kinds of strange gifts is also everyone's favorite part, but after that, no matter what, they never surpassed the crown prince's night pearl. up.

After all, the ruby ​​night pearl is unheard of and never seen.

The time was short, and many royal heirs, as well as the gifts that should be given to the important officials in the capital, had all been given away. The queen glanced down, and no one stood up, indicating that no one was giving gifts. She felt that it was about time. The royal grandchildren.

At this time, Eunuch Fu'an whispered: "Empress, the gifts from Prince Xiao's Mansion have not been inspected yet."

The queen was taken aback for a moment, and then realized: "I forgot about this in my busy schedule, the situation in Xingzhou Mansion is special, he is the head of the family and he is under [-] years old, and there is no one else in the family."

"The gift from Prince Xiao's Mansion was sent by the retainer Ji Chunsheng. It arrived early in the morning. The Secretary of the Inner Court took it on his behalf, and the old slave will send it up." Fu'an asked a young eunuch to pick it up.

The emperor nodded: "Let's take a look, let them move faster."

After a while, the little eunuch brought the box up. After the queen opened it, it turned out to be a small porcelain bottle: "What is this?"

Then I saw a small note with beautiful words on it that said "Plum Blossom Perfume".

"What is plum blossom perfume?" The queen mother was taken aback, and several concubines in the harem also came over curiously, after all, fresh things are the most attractive.The queen smiled: "The child even attached a note to teach us how to use it."

As he spoke, he opened the cork according to the instructions on the paper, and then carefully put a few drops in his hands, but after pouring it out, a quiet fragrance instantly permeated the air.
