Chapter 52
Qin Shuhuang was born in the royal family, and was well-dressed and well-fed since childhood. Later, she married into the Gu family. Although it was not smooth sailing, at least she had a few loyal maids to take care of her, and she never really cooked the food herself.

How to cook is only limited to the fact that she has seen Shilan and a few others cook.

Today is the first time to do it myself.

Facts have proved that Qin Shuhuang does not have much talent in cooking, and the meals he cooks for the first time are similar to those made by most people for the first time. It is hard to describe just the appearance...

The two dishes are stir-fried mutton slices and shredded pork cabbage.

If the former is fried for too long, the mutton becomes burnt and hard, while the latter is stir-fried for too short, and the cabbage stems are not yet cooked...

The rest of the noodles were overcooked and a bit mushy when transferred from the wok to the bowl.

Qin Shuhuang frowned and stared at the two dishes in front of him, hesitant to send them out, but thought that the dishes and noodles had already been mixed with medicinal juice, if they were not sent to Brother Can Wang, the medicine would be wasted.

Forget it, let’s give Brother Can Wang a hard time. Maybe this food just doesn’t look good, but maybe it tastes good!

Qin Shuhuang was about to find a food box in the kitchen to put the food in when Song Yuan came.

He was in the nearby pharmacy to identify the incense, and not long after, he smelled a strange smell coming from the kitchen. Thinking that Qin Shuhuang was here, he was worried about something, so he hurried over to take a look.

So, as soon as he came in, he saw the messy kitchen and the food on the long table.

Song Yuan was a little surprised. Could it be that the eldest princess was making food in the kitchen?
Qin Shuhuang didn't expect the master to come, she was a little embarrassed at once, she quickly walked over to support Song Yuan, "Master, why are you here? I just made something to eat, master, have you eaten? If you don't have any rice, try it !"

Song Yuan's eyes moved to the food on the long table. When he saw the presentation of the food, the corner of his mouth twitched. Emperor Song, who had obviously not eaten anything all afternoon, immediately shook his head, "Your Highness, no... no need, I have already used it." Rice, I'm full now, I can't eat anything else."

Qin Shuhuang puffed up his lips and showed a bit of a daughter-like attitude in front of Song Yuan, "Okay! Then the master will not have this blessing today."

If the master doesn't want to eat it, then she will give it to her brother Can Wang to eat!Brother Canwang will definitely not dislike him!
Seeing that Qin Shuhuang didn't insist anymore, Song Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This kind of pretty food should be enjoyed by the lucky ones, who still want to live a few more years with their old bones.

I don't know who will be the lucky one, who is so lucky to be able to eat the meals cooked by the eldest princess.

Song Yuan coughed dryly and quickly changed the subject, "Your Highness, I have found out the ingredients in the fragrant cake."

Hearing what Song Yuan said, Qin Shuhuang's expression immediately became serious, "Master, what's the matter with this fragrant cake?"

Song Yuan rummaged through his collection of books in the past few days, and finally found clues in a miscellaneous note of the ancestors of the Song family.

The incense block that Qin Shuhuang gave him to identify the ingredients was a kind of mother-in-law incense.

This kind of incense has various flavors, and it has a certain calming effect
But generally this kind of incense is added with cold slices, if women use it frequently, it will damage the body, and after a long time, it will cause a cold physique and make it difficult to conceive children.

Therefore, in the late period of the previous dynasty, this kind of fragrant cake was listed as a prohibited item by the court and was prohibited from sale.

Zimu Incense lost its market and was soon lost. To this day, few people know about this incense.

Zimuxiang and Zimuxiang are actually two types of incense that have similar ingredients and emit similar aromas. If the two types of fragrant cakes are mixed and burned together, they will produce strange effects. When mixed together, the aroma produced will be better than the aroma produced alone. The seed fragrance and mother fragrance are more than three times stronger and have a better soothing effect.

Everyone knows that this kind of fragrance is harmful to women, but they don't know that the mixture of the two kinds of fragrance is more harmful to men.

In fact, Zixiang and mother fragrance are used alone and have no effect on men. Once the smell of Zixiang and mother fragrance is mixed together, it will stimulate various organs of men. A terrible slow poison.

Now that Song Yuan thought about it carefully, the scent of the maid he met in the palace that day seemed to be slightly different from the scent block Qin Shuhuang gave him.

Song Yuan asked solemnly, "Your Highness, where did the incense cube you gave me come from?"

At this time, Qin Shuhuang didn't hide from Song Yuan any more, she clenched her fists and said coldly: "Master, I broke off this incense stick next to the incense burner in the imperial brother's bedroom."

Song Yuan was shocked after hearing this. If this was really the case, this would be a big deal!
His expression became more solemn, "Your Highness, I am [-]% certain that this is the fragrance of the mother-in-law! And it is the incense of the mother-in-law!" And what he smelled on the palace maid that day was the incense of the mother-in-law!

Qin Shuhuang thought that every day as long as the emperor was in the Palace of Funing, as long as Xia Qianwei was by his side, the emperor would be persecuted subtly, she would be furious.

Judging from the time when the master went to ask for the Ping'an pulse, the Zimuxiang was probably used in the imperial brother's bedroom for less than a month. The time is not long, the damage is not that great, and it can be saved.

After she came back from the palace, she asked Brother Can Wang to send someone to give the brocade box to the emperor's brother, but why didn't the emperor's brother come to find her?
Qin Shuhuang immediately decided that if the emperor didn't come for two days, she would enter the palace again. This time, no matter what, she would have to see the emperor!
Qin Shuhuang took a deep breath, suppressed the worry and eagerness in his chest, and asked Song Yuan, "Master, can you make this fragrant cake with the same taste?"

Song and Yuan were geniuses in pharmaceuticals. Sometimes pharmaceuticals and incense making are similar in purpose. Generally, people who know how to make medicines are familiar with incense making.

Raw materials for mother-of-pearl incense are very rare and cannot be assembled in a short period of time, but it is still easy to make fragrant cakes with a similar aroma, and the Song and Yuan Dynasties can also add some detoxifying and refreshing medicinal materials to this kind of fragrant cakes.

Song Yuan nodded after thinking for a while, "Yes, if His Highness needs it urgently, I can make it within two hours."

He understood why Qin Shuhuang was eager to make fragrant cakes with the same taste.

Qin Shuhuang breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "That's all the hard work, Master."

"What's this? Since time is tight, I will go to the pharmacy to make it."

As soon as the words fell, Song Yuan hurried back to his pharmacy.

When Song Yuan was immersed in making incense, Lao Adu opened the door and came in. Song Yuan heard the voice and said without looking back: "Don't disturb me, get out!"

Hearing Song Yuan's serious voice, old Ah Du didn't go out, he walked up to Song Yuan with a food box, put the delicious food in the food box on the table one by one, and then said with a smile: " Master, the meal was sent by His Highness, and I specifically told you to make it after eating!"

Song Yuan heard this and turned to look at the table. The table was filled with his favorite dishes, as well as a small pot of warm rice wine.

Thinking that he lied that he had eaten it when he was in the kitchen just now, he smiled helplessly and touched, "This kid! I know!"

After finishing speaking, he carefully put away the tools in his hands, and walked to the table to have dinner with old Ah Du.

It was night and early autumn, there were still some fireflies in the garden of the Princess's mansion, Qin Shuhuang took the food box she made by herself to the small courtyard where Xuancang lived.
