The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 133 Incense
As soon as Mrs. Song left, Mrs. Wu put down her face coldly: "Hmph! It's not because of jealousy!"

After finishing speaking, he looked outside the door again, the night was as cold as water, and there was no sound outside.

Only then did she close her eyes in frustration, and said to herself, "Why don't you come today?" After that, she looked at the incense, took a few deep breaths, and her face was flushed Light, walked in sullenly.

After Mrs. Song walked out of Mrs. Wu's room, Shi Shiran turned his head to look back and chuckled.Xiyun looked back puzzledly, then turned to look at Mrs. Song, wondering: "What is Gege laughing at? I was in Wugege's room just now, and it smells really good. Didn't Gege know how to light incense before? How could it not be burned for the past two years?"

Mrs. Song glanced at her displeasedly, then returned to the room with a light reprimand: "It's troublesome!"

Xiyun secretly rolled her eyes in displeasure, and then she heard Mrs. Song say again: "You have the opportunity to ask Ziyan for the incense they burned today. I like the smell."

"Hey!" Xiyun thought she had sensed her dissatisfaction, so she hurriedly collected her mind and responded respectfully...

Yinzhen stayed at Wu's house several times in a row, and planned to go there this night, but suddenly remembered that he hadn't visited Yanhua for several days, and wanted to see her situation, so he turned his way and went first. Wanfu Pavilion.

There is a fragrance of plum blossoms in the Wanfu Pavilion. It turned out that Yingxiu saw that Yanhua had been depressed for the past few days, and even ate little food, so she thought of ways to make all kinds of delicious things to coax her to eat.

Today, Yingxiu happened to make plum blossom cake, which was mixed with some hawthorn, it was fragrant, glutinous, sour and sweet, Yanhua really whetted her appetite and ate several pieces in a row.When she was full, she felt that the stagnation in her heart had been dispelled a lot, and her mood suddenly lifted.

Yanhua was originally a child at heart, and in the evening, when she saw snow falling from the sky, she happened to read a poem, which said: "Green ants make new fermented wine, and a small red clay stove. In the evening, the sky is like snow. Would you like a drink?"

Suddenly, she remembered the night when Wu's family entered the mansion, she and Shisan had a drink together in the waterside gazebo unscrupulously. She only thought about the current weather, if she could bake the stove and watch the snow, and then drink some wine, it would be really pleasant.But now she is banned from drinking by Yinzhen, and she can't touch it without permission, and she feels a little regretful.

It's just that she was already in a good mood, so she asked Ying Xiu to set up a small stove beside the bed, and sat by the window, while warming her hands and watching the snowflakes outside, reciting poems by herself.After reciting the poem, I felt that it was too cold to be alone, so I asked Lingxi to watch it with me.

Lingxi had already hung a few lanterns outside the window, so she could see the snowflakes fall clearly.She looked at it for a while, but felt bored: "Ge Ge, what's the point of this snowflake? It's so cold with the window open, Gu Gemo is going to catch the cold."

Yanhua gave her a disappointed look: "You are so boring! This is about the last snow of the new year. If you don't take a good look at it, you will have to wait another year to see it. Hey... it's just the snow outside the window. The scenery is not good enough, if there is a bunch of red plums, or a clump of green bamboos, then the white snowflakes will be beautiful~”

Yinzhen didn't eat much dinner just now, and when he entered the room, he smelled a fresh fragrance, and suddenly felt hungry.When he came in, he just heard Yanhua's sigh, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth: "It's not easy, I'll ask Wei Changan to transplant a few plum trees tomorrow, and then plant a clump of bamboo in the corner. You don’t have to regret it when it snows again in the future.”

After saluting, Ying Xiu slapped the snow off his cloak and hung it aside, and found a small hand stove to cover his hands with him.

Yin Zhen smelled the sweet smell in the room and asked, "What are you eating? It smells so good?"

Yanhua chuckled, came over and took Yinzhen's hand and sat down on the bedside together, then pinched a piece of plum cake and brought it to his mouth: "Master Baylor didn't eat? Since we're here, let's enjoy the snow together." Bar!"

Yinzhen sat beside her with a smile and complied with her wishes, glanced at her opened poetry collection, and asked casually, "Where did you read it?"

Yan Hua followed his gaze and looked over, seeing that he was asking about reading, she recited the poem she had just read, and added a sentence at the end: "Hey, if my son can be aggressive now Have a couple of sips of wine, and it will be beautiful."

Yinzhen squinted at her, and spouted with a half-smile: "When you are beautiful, others will not be beautiful."

Yanhua's face flushed, and she stopped trying to talk about drinking.

Yinzhen sat down for a while, and then suddenly smelled a fresh fragrance in the room, which was a bit refreshing, and he wondered: "What kind of smell is this, it smells like oranges."

Yanhua chuckled lightly, picked up the iron tongs on the stove and picked up the charcoal inside: "Here, it is indeed orange peel. I just smelled the fragrance, so I threw it in. Lord Belle is amazing, so it's okay I can smell it."

Yinzhen chuckled, suddenly felt something was wrong in his mind, and a flash of doubt flashed.

Seeing that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake by the stove had been eaten, Yan Hua asked Ying Xiu to bring over a small plate, and asked Ling Xi to make a pot of black tea.After finishing all this, Yinzhen was still in a daze looking at the night outside where the snow gradually stopped.

Seeing his frown slightly, Yanhua knew that he was thinking about something: "What's the matter? Are there any other worries? There are always things that can't be finished, so Lord Belle relaxes a bit, maybe get a good night's sleep, I'll figure it out tomorrow."

Yinzhen held her hand, a coldness flashed in his eyes.

He said that he felt something was wrong just now, it turned out that he suddenly remembered the incense smelled in Wu's house.Now that I think about it carefully, I feel that there is something wrong with the incense.He has never been a person who is greedy for sex in bed. These days, when night falls, he misses Mrs. Wu's body very much. He thought it was just a trivial matter, but now he smells the scent of oranges, and suddenly feels that the incense is not right. .

Ordinary incense, smelling it is refreshing, but the incense in Wu's house, after smelling it for a long time, he will actually have a charming feeling in his heart.Although it wasn't that obvious, but now that he thought about it carefully, he realized that the throbbing in his heart was not caused by emotion.

He gritted his teeth coldly, and when he caught sight of Yanhua's innocent smiling face, the coldness in his heart gradually melted away.

Yinzhen touched her face, and joked: "I've lost some weight these days, don't you have a bad appetite?"

Yan Hua's face turned red, she pouted and held his hand and said coquettishly, "Don't you look better if you're thinner?"

Yinzhen raised his hand and gently scratched her nose: "It's better to have a little meat."

The corners of Yanhua's mouth twitched, and she cursed: Then you always disliked me for gaining weight, saying that you couldn't hold me anymore.Now that I've lost weight, you're saying that it's better for me to be fatter.

"Master Baylor, you are too difficult to serve." She snickered and turned her eyes away, deliberately putting aside his hand and pretending to be angry.

Yinzhen did not stick up to coax her as she expected, but sneered softly and said: "If you don't want to serve, then I will find someone else to serve." The way to go!

Yan Hua was dumbfounded, and subconsciously raised her hand to grab his sleeve, and looked up blankly: "Are you really going to leave? I... just joking."

Yinzhen looked down at her coldly: "If I hear you right, it was you who said just now that I am too difficult to serve? Huh?"

"You heard it wrong!" Yanhua stared wide-eyed, nodded seriously, and said it as if it was true.

"Did I hear wrong?" Yin Zhen raised his eyebrows, and raised the corners of his mouth in a funny way.

"Hmm! Master Belle must have heard it wrong. What I said just now is that slaves like to serve Lord Belle too much!" Yanhua's cheeks were stained with two red clouds, and she made up nonsense calmly.

Yinzhen was also very cooperative, raised his eyes thoughtfully and meditated for a while: "Well, maybe I got it wrong." Then he sat down again and smiled with his mouth pursed.

The snow had stopped outside the window, and snow had accumulated on the two lanterns hanging outside. After being heated by the candles, it gradually melted, and flowed down the gauze lanterns, falling on the ground with a "tick-tick-tick" sound. A light tune is played in the silent night...

When Xi Yun asked Zi Yan for incense the next day, Zi Yan looked at her several times warily: "Ge Ge is not enough, how can I give it to you?"

Xiyun gave her an annoyed look: "You, Song Gege, are honored to have this incense, hum! It's not a treasure, it's really rare!"

Zi Yan looked at her graceful twisting back, spat lightly with disdain, turned around and went back to the house, and hid the remaining incense in another place.

This incense was not easy to come by, and she bought it after listening to a charlatan when she was out of the house to buy new year's goods.Just because the magician's words are reasonable, and the guesses are accurate!She was really amazed, so she bought most of the money on her body for incense, and when she came back, she dedicated it to the Wu family like a treasure.

Wu Shi was skeptical at first, he didn't understand how the incense could lock a man's body and mind.It's just that I tried it for a few days, and felt that the fragrance not only smells good, but also can really hold Yinzhen, attracting him to linger here every night, and I feel happier.So she asked Ziyan to take a silver ticket and go out to buy it, but the charlatan has long since disappeared.

This is also why Ziyan treasures the leftover incense so much, because she uses a little less and can no longer buy it.

"Why, she didn't give it?" Seeing Xiyun returning empty-handed, Mrs. Song glanced at her indifferently.

Xiyun curled her lips in embarrassment: "Baby Ziyan is tight, and he said that Wu Gege himself is not enough, so he can't give it. Hmph! It really is a good thing! If Gege needs it, slave girl Go out and buy good incense for Gege today, it must be better than theirs..."

"No, I only want the kind used in her house. You can find another way to get some back."
