Chapter 94 Handwritten Fragrance Recipe
Lu Wanning thought for a while and said: "Miss Lingyuan doesn't know that making butterfly incense is not easy. The little butterfly incense I took out before took me several days. Although I am willing to make more butterfly incense as a gift.
I gave it to the Second Princess, but I’m afraid I have more ambition than strength.”
Lingyuan looked at Lu Wanning and saw that Lu Wanning's words were extremely sincere and did not seem to be excuses at all. She was about to say that Lu Wanning could make as much as he could and try his best.
Then I heard Lu Wanning continue to say: "How about this, I will give the incense recipe for the butterfly incense to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will directly work with experienced incense makers to make the butterfly incense. It will definitely be more expensive than me making it slowly by myself."
It’s more convenient. What do you think, Miss Lingyuan?
This is naturally the best.
However, Lingyuan looked at Lu Wanning and said hesitantly: "In this case, Lu Meiren will suffer a loss. This butterfly-inducing incense is so rare, and the incense recipe must also be very precious."
Lu Wanning smiled and shook his head and said: "How could I suffer a loss? I only make incense because I like it. I don't make money from this incense recipe in my hand. Even if I give it to the Queen Mother,
If I want to make it for myself in the future, I can still make it without losing anything."
"Miss Lingyuan, don't refuse. I will write down the incense recipe now. If Miss Lingyuan takes it back early, people can start making incense earlier."
Lu Wanning said and asked Qingzhi to prepare pen and ink for her, then sat at the table and started writing.
The fragrance recipe of the Butterfly Incense is complex, and Lu Wanning explained the process of making the incense in great detail, and it quickly filled up a piece of paper.
After finishing writing, Lu Wanning chatted with Lingyuan for a while while waiting for the pen and ink to dry.
After the ink on the paper was completely dry, Lu Wanning handed the paper into Lingyuan's hands.
Lingyuan took the incense recipe written by Lu Wanning and took a look at it. She saw that it was densely filled with various spices. Lingyuan said to her heart that no wonder Lu Meiren said that making butterfly incense is not easy. There are so many spices, so it can be simple.
Weird.
But..., Lingyuan put away the fragrant ingredients and shook his head in his heart, how could the word Lu Meiren be written...not as beautiful as her handwriting?
As the empress dowager's eldest maid, Ling Yuan was naturally able to write and read, but her handwriting could only be considered average. In many cases, the person who wrote for the empress dowager was Lingxiu. Lingxiu always said her handwriting was ugly. She
He had always felt that his handwriting was not good-looking, but now that he saw Lu Meiren's handwriting, Lingyuan suddenly felt that her handwriting was not bad either.
When Lingyuan returned to Shou'an Palace with the incense recipe given by Lu Wanning, the emperor, who had left the morning court, was also chatting with the Queen Mother in Shou'an Palace.
When Ling Yuan entered, he heard the Queen Mother and the Emperor saying: "The Ai family knows that the Emperor is very affectionate. Remembering the Taifu's teaching and protection to the Emperor in those years, no matter what wrong things the Queen has done in these years, the Emperor has tried his best to do her best.
hidden."
"But the Ai family has looked at her with cold eyes for so many years. The queen is really unable to hold up the wall. No matter whether it is her heart or her brain, she should not continue to sit in the position of the mother of a country. Do you see what the harem is like now?"
"After all these years, you have no other prince besides the prince. How does it look like? This is rare not only in the royal family, but also in the homes of ordinary people."
"Let's not talk about whether the prince will be able to take on big responsibilities in the future. Let's just say that if something happens to the prince, do you want to hand over this hard-earned thousands of miles of land to others?"
After Luo Chengjing listened to what the Queen Mother said, he was silent for a while and said: "I have thought about what the Queen Mother said, but if I abolish the Lin family now, firstly, the prince's situation will be very embarrassing, and secondly, the position of the queen will be very embarrassing.
Who should be seated?"
"Besides, the Taifu is getting older now, and I want to save his face as much as possible in the last few years of his life."
"It's good that the emperor knows what's going on."
The Queen Mother thought for a while, and as the Emperor said, there is indeed no one in the harem who is suitable to be the Queen. In this case, it is better to let Lin continue to occupy the position of Queen.
Luo Chengjing smiled and said: "Don't worry, mother, I know it well. I'm here today not only to visit my mother and Lan'er, but also to trouble my mother."
The Queen Mother laughed when she heard this, "We, mother and son, are still talking about whether it's troublesome or not. If you have anything to do, just say it."
The emperor handed the tea at hand to the Queen Mother. After the Queen Mother took a sip of tea, he said: "Zi Qi Cai and Ming Jieyu are pregnant. The emperor's son has already called attention to the Queen's movements. He is afraid that the Queen will move."
The two took action, but unexpectedly the Queen did not take action, and Qu Cairen still did not hold the child in her belly."
"Now Ming Jieyu is about to give birth, and Xu Jieyu is also pregnant. I want the queen to take care of the two of them a little, so that no more accidents happen to the children in their bellies."
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "I will ask someone to look after the two of them, so don't worry, Your Majesty."
After the mother and son finished talking, the Queen Mother saw the Ling Yuan and asked, "Has Meiren Lu agreed? When will it be ready?"
When Luo Chengjing heard Lu Meiren's words, he looked towards the Queen Mother and Ling Yuan with some curiosity.
When Lingyuan heard the Queen Mother's words, she shook her head and said, "Beautiful Lu said..."
The Queen Mother was a little surprised when she saw Ling Yuan shaking his head. Before Ling Yuan could say the next words, she frowned and said displeased: "Lu Mei is indeed a girl from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. She is so courageous. I just want her to
I don’t even want to make incense!”
Lingyuan said quickly: "Empress Dowager, please don't be angry. It's not that Lu Mei is unwilling. Lu Mei said that making butterfly-inducing incense is not easy. I'm afraid it would be difficult for her to make a large amount of butterfly-inducing incense alone, so she directly prepared the incense recipe.
Write it down and ask your slave to present it to the Queen Mother on her behalf."
"Oh?" The Queen Mother said unexpectedly: "Bring the fragrant recipe over and let me take a look."
Ling Yuan offered the incense recipe as promised.
After the Queen Mother got the fragrant recipe, she was silent for a moment when she saw the word, and then said: "They say the word is like the person. The Ai family remembers that Lu Meiren seems to be good-looking, right?"
Ling Yuan thought it was more than good, "Beauty Lu is stunningly beautiful."
"Then this word..." The Queen Mother shook her head and continued to read Xiang Fang while holding back her eyes.
Luo Chengjing looked at the incomprehensible expression on the Queen Mother's face and became curious about the words in the Queen Mother's hands. How ugly was Lu Meiren's handwriting that made the Queen Mother show such an expression.
The Queen Mother didn't know how to make incense, and she couldn't understand the incense recipes, but she thought that Lu Meiren didn't have the guts to fool her with a fake incense recipe.
