Chapter 61 It’s delicious

Entering the palace was their first time for both Luo Wushuang and Qu Zhenzhen, and it would be a lie to say they were not nervous.

Mu Junze sent them into the palace gate, handed them over to the little eunuch who led the way, and then turned around and left.

The little eunuch led them into a room first. The room was filled with the aroma of rich fruity wood. After half a cup of tea, the little eunuch handed them a piece of chicken tongue fragrance and asked them to hold it in their mouths.

Lead them on their way.

It turns out that this is the rule of the Da'an Kingdom when entering the palace. Before entering the palace, courtiers must smoke different scents according to the preferences of different masters, and must reply with the scent of chicken tongue in their mouths. Luo Wushuang admired such exquisiteness while looking at this

palace.

The current palace of Da'an Kingdom is actually the palace of the Kun Dynasty many years ago. It is magnificent but not extravagantly furnished. If it were not for the many decorations added by successive emperors of Da'an Kingdom, this palace could really be described as simple.

The two of them followed the eunuch all the way inside. The rules in the palace were strict. Although they were curious about the reason for summoning the Queen Mother, they did not dare to discuss it out loud.

After walking on the bluestone road for a long time, the eunuch stopped. Luo Wushuang looked up and saw the three characters "Cining Palace" written clearly on the plaque on the palace gate. The eunuch who led the way asked the palace maid to come in and report. After waiting for a while, there was

The stewardess came out and led them into the hall.

From the door to the main hall, there is a small flower garden in the middle, which is planted with various kinds of flowers, which are blooming and exuding a strong fragrance. After entering the main hall, a chill hits you immediately, and you see several yellow rosewood trees lined up on both sides.

The large-eared square ice mirror should be filled with seasonal fruits, exuding a light fruity fragrance. Looking from a distance, Queen Mother Fan is leaning on the phoenix chair, combing her hair in a bun, although she can't see it.

She has a clear appearance, and judging from her figure and charm, she should be very well maintained.

Under the guidance of Mammy, Luo Wushuang and Qu Zhenzhen knelt down to pay their respects.

"Get up!" Although Queen Mother Fan was over forty, her voice was still clear. She looked at the two of them and asked with a smile: "Who is Qu Zhenzhen?"

Qu Zhenzhen immediately took a step forward and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, she is a commoner's daughter."

"Raise your head and let the Aijia take a look." A smile appeared in the Queen Mother's lazy voice: "You are handsome and smart. No wonder your father is so interested in you."

"Father?" Qu Zhenzhen didn't react for a moment, not knowing what the Queen Mother was talking about.

The Queen Mother did not explain, but said with a smile: "Go back and see your father later. He misses you very much."

Qu Zhenzhen was surprised. She didn't know why the Queen Mother suddenly took care of her family's housework. She also didn't know what her cold and ruthless father had done to make the Queen Mother look at him like this. But she didn't dare.

After asking a lot of questions, he just said lightly, "Yes."

The Queen Mother stopped talking and turned to look at Luo Wushuang and said, "Are you Luo Wushuang?"

"Yes." Luo Wushuang replied openly.

"Raise your head and say something." The Queen Mother's voice was not as gentle as before, but contained a hint of majesty. Luo Wushuang became even more wary.

Luo Wushuang slowly raised his head and was secretly surprised when he saw the person sitting on the phoenix chair.

It's not because of her beauty, but because she looks too young. She is in her forties, but she looks like she is in her early teens. Luo Wushuang secretly admired her. She is worthy of being the king of palace fighting. She even takes good care of herself.

sharp.

When the Queen Mother saw Luo Wushuang, she was slightly surprised. She had lived in the palace for more than twenty years. She dared not say anything else. She had seen a lot of beautiful women, but someone as beautiful as Luo Wushuang was still beautiful.

For the first time, even Concubine Yun, who is now the most beautiful woman in the harem, was far behind her.

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then she said calmly: "I heard that the incident involving the imperial army was all caused by your mosquito repellent. Although the real culprit has been found, you can't escape the blame!"

Luo Wushuang was surprised and happy when she heard "the real murderer has been found", but automatically ignored the Queen Mother's embarrassment.

She marveled at how quickly the arrest was made. She only said one sentence before she was imprisoned last time, but she was found within two days! Fortunately, Tianxiang Pavilion was safe now.

When the Queen Mother saw that she was silent and was frightened, she continued to ask: "I heard that you are an excellent incense artist, but do you know what kind of incense is used in this hall?"

When Luo Wusang entered the Cining Palace, he realized that this place was different from other places. There was no incense burning here, it was all the fragrance of flowers and fruits. He secretly thought that the Queen Mother must not like burning incense, but only the natural fragrance of flowers and fruits.

When the Queen Mother asked this question, I didn't know whether she didn't like it or was trying to test herself.

Luo Wushuang didn't know why the Empress Dowager was testing, so he answered truthfully: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the hall is filled with the fragrance of flowers and fruits, including bluebells, hibiscus, hydrangeas, roses, lilies, peaches, plums, papayas, apricots... and plums."

.”

Qu Zhenzhen on the side listened to Luo Wushuang mentioning so many varieties at once, and couldn't help showing admiration. She only smelled the aroma of flowers and fruits. If she was asked to say them all, it would be impossible.

.Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little ashamed. Luo Wushuang is just a junior incense disciple!

The Queen Mother said calmly: "If you taste it more carefully, I will punish you if you make a mistake."

Although Luo Wushuang didn't know what the Queen Mother's purpose was, she didn't want to be sent in again just after leaving the prison, so she carefully activated Xiao Xiangxiang to scan. After a while, she smiled and said: "The Queen Mother, there is indeed something in the hall.

There are only those fragrances mentioned just now. If there are other fragrances, there are only some burnt Yi Kexiang incense ashes."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall suddenly became extremely quiet. Qu Zhenzhen admired her beyond measure, while Queen Mother Fan unconsciously showed a shocked expression.

She knew Yi Kexiang so well. Only a true expert would understand the weight of Luo Wushuang's light words!

The Empress Dowager only let Luo Wushuang taste it again. The original intention was just to test her whether the floral and fruity fragrance was masked, or whether she really got it right because of her sensitive sense of smell. As for the delicious incense ash, she had lit it last night.

She herself had forgotten it. She never thought that someone would identify Yi Ke Xiang from such a long distance without knowing it!

You must know that Yikexiang is not a kind of incense, but a mixture of nearly ten kinds of incense, such as agarwood, incense, chicken tongue incense, sandalwood, tonka, etc., prepared according to the proportion. She...such a little

Girl...can be identified so easily with just some incense ashes, what a talent this is!

Queen Mother Fan couldn't regain her composure for a moment. Aunt Bai, who was standing next to her, coughed lightly and she came back to her senses.

"Keeping her here can be of great use." This was the Queen Mother's first thought.

After thinking for a moment, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "It's true, she's a smart one. Now I'm in need of a girl who knows how to incense. In a few days, the prince and princess from Beizhen will be arriving. What should I give as a greeting gift?"

I didn't think about it, but I suddenly thought of an idea, and I'm short of people like you, Miss Luo, who understand fragrance."

Seeing the Empress Dowager's smiling face, Luo Wushuang and Qu Zhenzhen were both a little confused. What did the Empress Dowager... want to do?
