Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 167 My Lord, Please Follow Me
Mrs. Marquis Wu'an unfolded the handkerchief, and a blooming peony flower was in full bloom at the corner of the handkerchief.

Wan Yan leaned over.

The smell of sulfur is stronger.

"This is a scheming girl. Such a big peony flower dares to be embroidered on the handkerchief openly." Mrs. Wu Anhou glanced at it dismissively, and threw the handkerchief away, and the sulfur smell wafted away.

Wan Yan's heart beat a few times faster.

Looking around, no one paid attention to the situation here, but behind Marquis Wu An stood the two servant girls who were always inseparable from her.

Wan Yan looked at the handkerchief, not wanting to act rashly.

"Ma'am, it's the first time I entered the palace. In my imagination, the palace was quiet and solemn. I didn't expect such a lively scene." Wan Yan pretended to look around, thinking about what to do next.

"Only a few times a year, these banquets in the palace can be more lively, but two or three times, usually, how deserted it is. Think about it, Princess Minyang's temper is caused by this deep palace." Wu An Madam Hou let out a long sigh.

"Wan Yan, you are still welcome. The look in people's eyes can't deceive people, so what about the princess? She is so bitter and mean that she doesn't look like a girl who doesn't know much about the world."

Wan Yan laughed along with her.

She even wanted to know why the handkerchief left by Princess Minyang smelled of sulfur, and it was similar to the smell she smelled in the imperial study.

The old lady of Zhen Guogong's mansion returned quickly, and she wanted to have a private conversation with Mrs. Wu'anhou with a smile on her face. Wan Yan stood up in time, "I'll sit next to you, and the two ladies chat slowly."

The little girl sat down where Princess Minyang was just now, and put the fragrant handkerchief on the round table in front of her.

Strong taste.

It was indeed exactly the same as the smell she smelled in the imperial study.

Wan Yan's heart sank.

Now she was sure that the smell was sulfur.

The little girl looked up at the dome-shaped roof of the palace, not understanding what to do with sulfur in such a huge deep palace?

Wan Yan was not sure, she didn't want to think of the bad.

Or, is this a hobby of the palace people?

But what objects use sulfur?
While thinking about it, there was the sound of silk and bamboo, and a group of glamorous women in brocade clothes and skirts slowly entered from the apse. Wherever they passed, the crowd was in an uproar.

The leading woman was in her 40s, her brows were tightly frowned, and her face was hostile.

"This is the empress, Princess Minyang's concubine." Mrs. Wu Anhou introduced gently in Wan Yan's ear.

Wan Yan looked at the queen.

She was wearing a knitted wide-sleeved satin with dragon patterns, and a two-color gold thin cloak embroidered with deep purple and blue. The delicate cloud temples were dotted with agate, and there were piles of silk purple jade earrings on her ears.

Wealthy and flamboyant.

The woman following the queen is a tall, smiling woman in her 30s.

Wearing a deep sky blue half-sleeved gown, gray and blue bamboo rain silk brocade, a grass green floor skirt on her lower body, and a brown brocade cloak with vulture pattern, her decent attire made her look rich and low-key.

"That's Concubine Yi, my heart and soul." The old lady of Zhen Guogong's mansion stared at the woman following behind the queen with a proud face.

So, is that the third prince's concubine?

Concubine Yi passed by Wan Yan, took a deep look at the little girl, Wan Yan lowered her eyes with a smile, and smelled the faint smell of Su Hexiang pills wafting over her body.

It was a gift from her to Mrs. Marquis Wu'an.

Wan Yan looked lightly at Madam Wu Anhou.

Holding the teacup in her hand, she nodded gently at Concubine Yi, and the two looked very close.

Madam Wu'an felt Wan Yan's gaze, and turned to look at Wan Yan, "When I have a chance to enter the palace, I will take you to meet Concubine Yi, she likes you very much, and Concubine Yi liked the Suhexiang pills you gave me last time. , I gave her four."

Wan Yan saw clearly the relationship in the harem.

The queen sat down, with a straight face, and waved her hands at everyone, "Today's autumn tea banquet, Concubine Yi has been hosting for a long time, you are welcome, the emperor's grace is great, I hope you will do your best for Daqi in the future, come, and present the imperial decree. "

The court lady handed over the golden silk brocade and read aloud.

The queen narrowed her eyes and looked at Wan Yan's table.

Princess Minyang didn't come back until the edict was read out.

The queen reasoned that she had a headache, stayed in Wenhe Palace for less than a stick of incense, and left with the maid.

Concubine Yi presides over the overall situation, and the host and guest enjoy themselves.

When Wan Yan left Wenhe Palace, the sun had already set.

Saying goodbye to Mrs. Marquis Wu'an, she saw Su Jizhi standing in front of the palace gate with his head half down, looking towards her from time to time.

Wan Yan ran over, "My lord, how long have you been waiting?"

Su Jizhi stretched out his hand, "Not too long."

Wan Yan found that the adult's palm was warm and his body smelled of alcohol.

"How much did you drink, my lord?"

Su Jizhi smiled without answering, waving Wan Yan's little hand lightly, and leaning forward, "How is it? Is my little girl all right in Wenhe Palace today?"

Wan Yan turned her head to meet the adult's smiling gaze, "Not good."

"Oh? Not good? I heard that Miss Wanyan is the guest of Concubine Yi."

Wan Yan was stunned, "How does your lord know?"

Su Jizhi looked at the layers of palace eaves, and whispered with a smile, "Why is this so difficult?"

Wan Yan shook off Su Jizhi's hand and put her hands on her hips, "Then tell me, my lord, what happened to Princess Minyang?"

Su Jizhi closed his smile.

"Look, my lord has great powers and eyes. Why don't you know about Princess Minyang? I want to hear an explanation."

"Does it mean that she made things difficult for you before the palace banquet?" The lord lowered his face, with displeasure written on his face.

"No, I heard that Princess Minyang once fell in love with Dali Temple Minister."

Su Jizhi raised the corner of his mouth lightly, imitating Wan Yan's way and crossed his waist: "Now this Dali Siqing is standing in front of you."

Wan Yan had expected this result a long time ago, and was even more curious about how the adults knew that Min Yang had spoken badly before the palace banquet.

"Have you forgotten what I told you? I am familiar with the guards of the Imperial Forest Army today."

The corners of Su Jizhi's mouth were cold, and he pulled the little girl's wind-blown hair behind her ears, "Minyang is just fighting with words, I believe that the little girl I like is the most shining one no matter where she is. Pearl."

Wan Yan curled her lips with a smile, remembering something important: "By the way, my lord."

The little girl lowered her voice, "Princess Minyang's handkerchief also has that sulfur smell, which is exactly the same as the one I smelled in the imperial study."

Su Ji raised his eyebrows lightly.

"I can't figure it out. Who in the palace needs sulfur? Sulfur is highly poisonous. I only know that it is very troublesome to use it improperly, or I am too sensitive and there is nothing wrong with it?"

Su Jizhi thought for a while, "I don't think it's that simple. I met the chief executive by chance today, and I've already asked questions about it. Wan Yan, the chief executive is also confused."

"What is that? Why does the palace use sulfur?"

Su Jizhi's face darkened, "Why don't I find a timely opportunity and ask the emperor directly."

Wan Yan held Su Jizhi back, "My lord, when I was learning how to make incense in my early years, my master said that sulfur incense was made in many places. Could it be that sulfur is used in this kind of thing in the palace?"

Seeing that Wan Yan was cautious and careful, Su Jizhi smiled instead, "Isn't that better? It doesn't matter if I ask the emperor directly."

Thinking about it this way, things are simple.

Wan Yan took Su Jizhi's hand, "Let's go, let's go back home, sir, do you know? Today Princess Minyang made a fuss and brought me a lot of guests."

Following Su Jizhi, the little girl happily narrated everything she had experienced today. Before she could walk out of the palace gate, the two heard footsteps behind them.

The chief executive with a dust whisk in his hand ran towards this side sweating like rain, "Master Su, please stay a while, Mr. Su, Your Majesty's invitation."

The chief executive was panting, out of breath, "Master Su is not well, something happened, please follow me quickly."

　Regarding realgar and sulfur, the little readers reminded me that the article has been revised. Realgar and sulfur are two completely different things. Here they are mainly used in making incense. After reading the article, you are welcome to ask questions and make progress together.
