My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 276

The birthday gift prepared by the Crown Princess turned out to be a half-person-high red coral, which can definitely be called a priceless treasure.

Although Wang Guifei and all the concubines are used to seeing all kinds of rare treasures, they were a little shocked when they saw such a huge red coral. Compared with other people, this gift seemed a bit too expensive.

"Thank you, Crown Princess, your gift is so precious that I dare not accept it."

At this time, Wang Guifei smiled and said politely to the princess.

"Your concubine is too polite. In fact, I was lucky. The people sent to Nanyang just happened to find this treasure, so they bought it at a high price. I heard that this red coral is not only beautiful, but also calms the mind when placed in the bedroom. effect."

The princess laughed again.

However, when the Crown Princess was talking, she looked at Princess Han. After all, her own gift had already been presented, and it overwhelmed the others. Now it was up to Princess Han to give her a gift?

Concubine Han of course understood the meaning of Crown Princess, she only smiled lightly, and then said to Concubine Wang: "Concubine, sister-in-law's gift is so expensive, compared with her, those of us behind dare not show it to our eyes Already!"

"What my sister said is that the gift is not about the value, but the intention. Even if you give a goose feather, I think the imperial concubine will not blame it."

The princess said again with a thorn in her words.

"Compared with sister-in-law's gift, the gift I want to give is probably like a goose feather."

Although Princess Han said so, she still beckoned. Three maids came forward side by side, each holding a tray with a flat gift box on it.

Princess Han stood up, stepped forward to take the box she liked the most, and then handed it to Princess Wang with both hands: "I see that everyone has sent a lot of jewelry, so I won't join in the fun, so I prepared some for the concubine." A special birthday gift, I hope you like it."

"Oh? What is so mysterious?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Guifei accepted the gift box curiously, and then opened it with her own hands, only to see three crystal bottles lined up inside, containing several liquids of different colors.

"What is this?"

Wang Guifei looked at the liquid in the crystal bottle and couldn't help asking curiously.

Not only the imperial concubine, but also the concubine next to her and the other wives all looked at the imperial concubine Han curiously.

After all, everyone knows that on such an occasion, the Princess Han and the Crown Princess will definitely have to compete in birthday gifts. The Crown Princess has presented a priceless red coral just now, and now it depends on how the Princess Han will accept it?

"This is called perfume. My family Zhanhe made these three bottles with great difficulty according to the ancient method. The fourth bottle can't be found in the whole Ming Dynasty!"

Concubine Han opened her eyes and said nonsense, because there were several bottles on the dressing table in her room in the palace.

"Perfume? What is it for?"

Wang Guifei asked curiously again.

"Let me show you."

Princess Han picked up a bottle of perfume. This perfume bottle was also very exquisite. It was carved out of a whole piece of transparent crystal, and there was a nozzle at the mouth of the bottle, which was connected to a small airbag. Mist sprayed out.

Concubine Han asked Concubine Wang to stretch out her wrist, and then lightly pressed the airbag, and a scent of rose fragrance sprayed out.

"What a fresh floral scent!"

Wang Guifei's eyes lit up when she smelled the perfume, and she immediately praised.

Several nearby concubines also smelled the perfume, and immediately leaned over one by one, looking curiously at the perfume in the hands of Princess Han.

"Concubine, this perfume is made of essential oils made from fresh flowers, and then blended by a secret method. Different flowers are used, and the smell of the perfume is also different. These three bottles of perfume are made of different flowers. This bottle is the fragrance of roses. Elegant and remote, it is most suitable for noble concubines!"

Concubine Han introduced with a smile at this time.

"So that's it. This floral fragrance is really special. It's like walking in a garden full of flowers. It makes people feel happy!"

Wang Guifei said that she took the perfume and looked at it carefully, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and she was not even willing to let it go.

The other concubines and wives around them also had their eyes shining at this time. As women, especially noble women, perfume is absolutely just what they need.

In the past, in order to maintain their body fragrance, these noble ladies not only wore sachets, but also smoked their clothes with spices, and even added spices when taking a bath, which can be said to be very troublesome.

But now this kind of perfume only needs to be sprayed on the body, and the elegant floral fragrance will cover the whole body. Even if Wang Guifei sits still, people nearby can smell the faint fragrance from her body. The effect of the incense is much better.

"Han Wangfei, do you still have this perfume?"

At this time, someone finally couldn't help asking.

The person who spoke was Concubine Zhang, she was the younger sister of the British Duke Zhang Fu, also Zhang Zhong's aunt, she had the most prominent family background among the concubines in the palace, besides Concubine Wang, she was also the most favored in the harem.

"Flower essential oils are hard to come by, and it took me a lot of effort to make these three bottles, so I'm afraid I will disappoint Concubine Zhang."

Princess Han replied with a regretful face.

After all, today is Wang Guifei's birthday. As a birthday gift, the perfume must be rare. Otherwise, if she says that the perfume can be mass-produced and everyone will have a share in the future, it will appear that the perfume is too cheap.

Sure enough, when Princess Han said this, Concubine Wang also showed a satisfied smile, and then she picked up another bottle of perfume, handed it directly to Concubine Zhang and said, "Since my sister likes it, I will give you a bottle!"

"This is my sister's birthday gift, how can I have the nerve to take it?"

Concubine Zhang said she was embarrassed, but her eyes couldn't do without the exquisite perfume bottle.

"What are you and my sister embarrassed about, take it!"

Wang Guifei is very generous. Although she likes perfume, as a woman in charge of the harem, it is more important to have a good relationship with the concubines in the palace.

"I won't be polite to my sister!"

Concubine Zhang Guifei happily took the perfume and tried spraying it on, but she was very pleasantly surprised and said, "It turned out to be the smell of magnolia flowers!"

Seeing that Concubine Wang gave a bottle of perfume to Concubine Zhang, the eyes of the other concubines were also red, all staring at the last bottle of perfume in the box, their eyes full of longing.

In fact, not only the concubines in the harem, but also the other noble ladies were all staring at the perfume in the box at this time, and even wished to go up and grab it.

Seeing the gazes of the people around her made Concubine Wang feel difficult. There was only one bottle of perfume left, and it seemed inappropriate to distribute it to anyone.

But not everyone is eager to get perfume. For example, the princess sitting next to Wang Guifei gritted her teeth with hatred. The red coral that she carefully prepared was not as good as this little perfume. The princess was snatched away.
