Regarding the late arrival of Bei Zhen and his party, the queen mother and the emperor had already heard the whole story from Luo Wushuang, and at this moment they only acted strangely: "Why did you arrive now? Hurry up and punish yourself with three cups!"

Hearing what the emperor said, Hall Master Li quickly winked at Luo Zixuan who was next to him, and asked her to pour the fragrant drink.

Luo Zixuan received the order, and her body, which had been tense all day, became even more tense. Originally, she wanted to take a swaying step in front of the royal family, but at this moment, her legs were trembling uncontrollably, and she almost stepped on her skirt .

On a long black lacquered table, four people were arranged to sit in a row. Yang Yurong, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, sat at the west head, and Yin Yucheng, Min Ji'an, and Bao Muer sat in the other three vacant seats in turn.Luo Zixuan didn't know the identity of the visitor, so she poured the drink from Bao Muer.

Min Ji'an explained a little about being late, and then promised to punish himself with three cups, and all three got up, but at this time Luo Zixuan had just filled Min Ji'an's drink, and Yin Yucheng's cup was still empty!
Luo Zixuan hurriedly came to Yin Yucheng and poured the drink, who knew that just after filling it, Yin Yucheng picked up the cup on Yang Yurong's right hand and drank it down in one gulp.

Luo Zixuan was flustered, and conveniently put the drink she had poured for Yin Yucheng on Yang Yurong's right hand side. Fortunately, no one else noticed this scene.

Seeing that everyone's cup was empty, Luo Zixuan continued to pour it. After three rounds, her back was already wet with sweat. Originally, she thought about how to show her good face and graceful figure in front of the nobles in the palace. So ridiculous, now she just wants to make no mistakes and save her life.

"Okay!" Mu Junyan saw that the Beizhen royal family was giving face so much, and it was really not their intention to be late, so he gave up thinking about it a long time ago, so he picked up his special pure gold cloud dragon pattern wine cup, reciprocated a glass, and signaled everyone to drink to their heart's content .

The whole meeting place became lively, and everyone no longer restricted to their seats, but started to walk in circles.After three rounds of drinking and five flavors of food, the eunuch Li Eunuch next to the emperor shouted in a shrill voice: "This is a rare opportunity. The Empress Dowager specially made a fun for everyone. It is called Qi Xiang Shuo. It means that everyone here People, if you know some strange fragrances, you can come forward and introduce them to everyone. It would be even better if you can bring the said spices! Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any at hand. Share the incense, and everyone will be rewarded!"

While Eunuch Li was talking, the discussion began.This link has never happened before, and everyone feels it is new, especially the people in Mo Xuantang, Yuxiangyuan and Tianxiang Pavilion, who feel a little eager to try, but they don't know how this strange fragrance will be. No one dares to eat the first crab.

The Empress Dowager saw that everyone was cold, and added with a smile: "The Ai family is just thinking about it. I'm afraid it might be boring to just eat and make the place lively. Don't hold back, everyone. The sooner you say it, the more rewards you may get! "

Seeing that the queen mother said so, there are many people who want to flatter and flatter, so some people scrambled to go up.

The first person to come up was Dean He of the Yuxiangyuan. After some courtesies, he sold Guanzi quite mysteriously: "In Qizhou mainland, there is probably no one who doesn't like incense, but no matter how you burn incense, drink Fragrant, even popular, sometimes the body is not fragrant... Everyone should know why, right?"

Hearing what he said, everyone started discussing in whispers, and some of them had probably guessed what he wanted to say, and secretly covered their mouths and laughed.Everyone in Tianxiang Pavilion also put down their work and listened to him continue with great interest.Luo Wu held a portion of lotus leaf yin cake in both hands and chewed slowly, thinking that this He Bing is a wonderful person, on such an occasion, he dared to come out and joke about things like shit and fart.

Everyone's appetite was whetted, Dean He said with a chuckle: "When I was traveling around in my early years, I found a kind of fruit at the southernmost tip of Qizhou Continent. The local people called it Chambord fruit. The old man was lucky enough to get a few pills, and he only needs to take a bite, and his whole body will be fragrant, even... ahem... the gas that is expelled is fragrant!"

"Hahaha..." The crowd roared with laughter, and the Queen Mother couldn't help but said, "Dean He, you really deserve to be knowledgeable and talented. This fragrance...is really amazing...haha...reward, reward!"

He Bing thanked him with a smile, and was about to step back, but Bao Muer stood up and said: "The fragrance that Mr. Dean said is indeed strange, but there is no evidence for it, and it is hard to know whether it is true or not. I think that this strange fragrance is also true." You can’t just talk nonsense, you have to have some evidence!”

In fact, everyone knows that this link is to please the queen mother. He Bing's opening was just right, and no one cared about the truth. I didn't expect that he would come to dismantle this stage, and I looked at him awkwardly for a while, not knowing what to say.

However, He Bing said with a chuckle: "It's not empty talk. What's more, in front of the queen mother and the emperor, in this important place of Buddhism, even if I have ten guts, I dare not lie. Back then, I gave five of them The chambord fruit has been dried and ground into powder, and it has been sealed and stored in bottles until now. Even if you don’t tell me, I plan to dedicate two of the bottles to the emperor and the empress dowager. Since you doubt it, you can do it Let’s try it, but there is not much left, I’m afraid it will cost you, Master Xiang!”

Hearing what he said, Bao Muer wondered if there really was such a spice, so he couldn't help but want to try it, and he didn't care about paying some money. If Min Ji'an hadn't teased him and signaled him not to talk, he wished he could talk to He right away. Dean makes a deal.

The queen mother was very satisfied with Dean He's answer. Taking this opportunity, she smiled and asked Beizhen's royal family table: "I have heard that Beizhen's great incense master is extraordinary. I wonder if I can share it with us today." One or two?"

Bao Muer glanced at Yin Yucheng, then nodded and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Empress Dowager, I have discovered a strange fragrance recently. This kind of fragrance is produced in the belly of a big fish in the East China Sea. After drying, it can emit a long-lasting fragrance, and it is even more fragrant when lit. It smells like musk, but it is more fragrant than musk. If it is used to make incense or lavender, the fragrance can last for several months!"

"So long?" Before Bao Muer finished speaking, the Queen Mother was surprised. Of course, everyone who knows incense is equally surprised, because generally speaking, the incense that can be made now can last for two days. Even if it is the best, it is a miracle that the fragrance can last for several months!
At this moment Luo Wushuang, who was sitting in the back row, felt everyone's surprise, and curled his lips helplessly. It turns out that the gap in cognition can really produce a magical version of the difference in experience, but it's just ambergris. People who haven't known it really feel amazing.

"Indeed!" Baumuer affirmed the Queen Mother's question very seriously, and at the same time added: "However, this is not the essence of the fragrance of fish belly!"
