Iron Dynasty

Chapter 40: Xiao Wenxuan

   "Hey, the king of Qi is a filial empress and concubine Zhen, like we can only look at the superb spice like perfume without using it."

  Concubine Zhen and Empress Zhao answered each question. The other concubines were very enthusiastic about the perfume. However, there was no time to interrupt. Seeing that the perfume seemed to be lost, Concubine Shu said.

   Although the words praised King Qi for his filial piety, everyone could hear the sourness.

Empress Zhao smiled gently. She was able to manage the harem with peace, relying on the thoughts of all the concubines she took care of. She said: "Sister Shu, Concubine Shu is wrong, and Sister Zhen also said it. This perfume was given to me by the king of Qi, but I didn’t say that my sisters don’t have a share. There are so many perfumes here that one person in this palace can't finish it."

   "The empress said, sisters, the king of Qi sent so many perfumes, but it is for the big guy, but it will inevitably be a little improper to let me distribute it, so this is all to the empress." Zhenfei said with a smile.

   The other concubines suddenly smiled, and Li Fei said: "The King of Qi has become more sensible."

   Empress Zhao and Concubine Zhen looked at each other. Among the concubines, she and Concubine Zhen had a good relationship, because they were both harmonious and kind people, and neither wanted to offend.

  Especially Concubine Zhen, who has no background in her family, but she can be safe in the harem because of her intelligence and character.

   Seeing the other concubines was quite eager to try, Empress Zhao said: "If this is the case, everyone should stop sitting, come and have a look, what you like, each one takes a bottle."

  I came to Zhenfei this time and here are the concubines who are more respected in the harem, and the concubines with low status naturally dare not come over to make trouble.

   Empress Zhao agreed, and the other concubines could no longer hold back. They hurried forward one by one as if snatching, and only six bottles of perfume were left in the box.

   These six bottles, two bottles of each, are naturally Empress Zhao’s, and concubines all know how to score, so you can’t be too greedy at this time.

  The concubines in a room rushed to try the perfume. Empress Zhao beckoned to the concubine Zhen at this time and motioned to the concubine Zhen to speak alone.

Concubine Zhen knew, and led Empress Zhao to the side of the main hall. At this time Empress Zhao said: "These perfumes are so unique and they must be expensive. King Qi's fief is barren and it must have cost a lot of money to come out with so many perfumes. ."

   At this time. Concubine Zhen showed helplessness and said: "It is true that King Qi sent perfume into the palace this time to please the empress. There is nothing to hide from the concubine. Empress must also know that Ming'er fled back three years ago. Ming'er did make a big mistake in the case of Changan, but the fief was barren and there was no silver to purge the army. How could his simple three thousand men and horses resist the barbarian army, and this time I heard from Li San that Qingzhou had been down for half a row. In the months of heavy snowfall, many people who could not find food entered the mountains as bandits. Although he served porridge in six cities, the silver in the treasury gradually became difficult to sustain.

After a pause, he said: "So he is sending perfume this time. First, I hope the empress can help him say something in front of your majesty, and allocate some silver to help him through this difficult situation. Second, he is also forced to helplessly, if His Royal Highness still disagrees, he can only sell perfume to earn some silver."

"Hey, I didn't expect the situation of King Qi to be so difficult. Three years ago, King Qi escaped from the fief without permission. He will still get angry when he mentions the emperor. Since he has worked hard this time, I will try it." Empress Zhao said .

   Concubine Zhen gave a blessing and said, "Thank you, Empress Empress."

   "You don't need to say thank you, let me talk about it when I explore the emperor's tone." After that, Empress Zhao suddenly said with interest, "You said King Qi can really refine the fragrance needed for this palace?"

   Concubine Zhen was taken aback, and said with a smile: "In the letter, King Qi did say so."

   "Well, in fact, these three flavors are good, but now many concubines are using them." Empress Zhao sighed.

Concubine Zhen is such a clever person. She instantly understood Empress Zhao's intentions. She was the mother of the world. Since other concubines used the same thing, she seemed clichéd if she used it again. She meant to let Xiao Ming specialize. Make him a unique perfume.

   "Niang, this matter is not difficult, the empress only needs to tell King Qi the perfume she wants, and the king promises that he will only make this perfume for the empress, and other concubines will definitely not have it." Zhen Fei said with a chuckle.

   Empress Zhao nodded in satisfaction, still talking to smart people easily, unlike that Defei, pretending to be crazy.

   "Then King Qi will bother. I will talk to the emperor about King Qi tonight." Empress Zhao said.

   Zhen Fei remembered the drunk Qingzhou, and said: "By the way, King Qi also sent some fine wine. The empress will not have a drink with the emperor tonight. King Qi said that this fine wine promises that the emperor will not want to leave after drinking it."

   "Really?" Empress Zhao said in surprise.

   Like other concubines, she hopes that the emperor can stay in her palace.

   Concubine Zhen nodded, "My sister can guarantee that I have tasted a little of this wine. It is a great wine."

   "In this case, the palace took it back and asked the emperor to comment on it~www.ltnovel.com~ Empress Zhao got what she wanted, went back to her seat, said a few words to the concubines, and left.

   The other concubines saw that the queen was gone, and they each made excuses to leave, but soon they came back secretly one by one.

   What Empress Zhao thought of, they also thought of, everyone wants their own unique fragrance, Zhen Fei agreed one by one, but unlike Empress Zhao, she said that making perfume costs a lot, but she has to pay for it.

   These concubines come from five surnames and seven Wangs. They are wealthy in their families and have monthly salaries in the palace. The most indispensable thing in their hands is silver. Naturally, the issue of silver is no longer a problem.

   After a busy day, the perfume matter was settled in the harem. Concubine Zhen did not go anywhere this night, but waited for news from the queen.

   In the Fengming Hall at this time, Empress Zhao was drinking and drinking with Xiao Wenxuan. As usual, Xiao Wenxuan would come to sit at the Queen’s place every month and then go elsewhere.

   But today, he was retained by a jar of fine wine.

   "This wine was sent by King Qi?" Xiao Wenxuan was a little surprised to learn that King Qi sent the wine to the palace.

   Empress Zhao put a piece of mutton to Xiao Wenxuan, and said: "Exactly, it's just that King Qi is afraid that the emperor will be angry, so he came to me and let me be your majesty."

   "Huh! Qingzhou is such a barren land, and there is not enough food every year, but he has extra food to use for wine." Xiao Wenxuan said angrily, "Three years ago, I really beaten it lightly."

Empress Zhao said softly: "His Royal Highness calms down.
