Early the next morning, Murong Xi asked Mo'er to collect some dried flower petals. She put the petals in a box, and then took Mo'er to Biyun Palace.
"Shu Mufei, are you feeling better?" Murong Xi said worriedly after coming in.
"Concubine Shu is much better, but Concubine Shu feels a little guilty towards Xi'er." Concubine Shu looked at Murong Xi with a guilty look on her face.
"Why did Concubine Shu say that?" Murong Xi's ability to pretend to be stupid became more and more powerful.
"Xi'er, Concubine Shu did not do it on purpose that day in Ningxi Palace. I really got excited when I saw the flower. Moreover, it was like a nightmare at the time. I didn't even know what I was talking about.
No, I fell ill as soon as I came back." Concubine Shu's eyes were full of tenderness, just like a biological mother looking at her daughter.
Murong Xi smiled and said: "Xi'er naturally knew that Concubine Shu was ill, so she thought that Xi'er secretly took away the flower because she liked it. However, Concubine Shu said that as long as the flower was moved, it would
Wither, Xi'er can't bear to see such a beautiful flower wither, so even if she is reluctant, she won't have the idea of that flower. However, Concubine Shumu, what are the flowers you planted in the yard?"
Murong Xi asked back, last time she kept saying it was an evil flower. So, what about the ones you planted in your yard? Even if there is no evidence, Murong Xi wants to cause trouble for Concubine Shu at any time.
Sure enough, Concubine Shu nodded apologetically to Murong Xi and was about to lower her head to drink tea.
However, when Murong Xi asked her, her hands shook instinctively. Then she smiled slightly and said, "Those are ordinary flowers."
Murong Xi nodded, suddenly grabbed Concubine Shu's hand, and then said with a smile: "Concubine Shu, wait a moment. Do you see what Xi'er brought you?" Concubine Shu was frightened by Murong Xi's sudden move.
Not easy.
After Murong Xi finished speaking, he handed the box to Yuan'er. Yuan'er saw that the box was very delicate, but she didn't know what was inside. However, she was a little afraid that Murong Xi would use vicious methods to deal with the empress, so she was hesitant.
Can't open it.
Concubine Shu looked very anxious and said expectantly: "Yuan'er, open it quickly and let me have a look."
Yuan'er opened the box after seeing her master speak, and she was immediately confused: "This is not..." Before she could finish her words, she felt something was wrong. If she really said it, the secret would be revealed. She was scared.
She broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Concubine Shu answered the question at this time: "What exactly is Yuan'er?"
"Ah, Madam, they seem to be some dried flower petals." Yuan'er pretended to be very puzzled and looked at Murong Xi.
"Xi'er, what are these dried flowers used for? Are they for my bath?" Concubine Shu turned her attention to Murong Xi. Now, collecting petals to dry is just for storage in winter, because fresh ones can be used in this season.
The flower petals were used for bathing. Therefore, Murong Xi must not have allowed himself to bathe in them.
Murong Xi smiled sweetly, and then said: "A few days ago, I asked Mo'er to take people to the Imperial Garden and the garden where the last Hundred Flowers Banquet was held to pick some petals. Some were whole flowers, and some were
However, I told them to sort and dry them to avoid mixing them together. This small jar is exactly the dried peony flowers. Using peonies to make scented tea has a very refreshing fragrance, and it can also be used for beauty.
Of course, different flowers have different effects. Just think of peonies, which can activate blood circulation. If you drink it for a long time, you can have a rosy complexion. If you want to clear liver fire and have dry eyes, you can soak chrysanthemums. Now chrysanthemums
It hasn't bloomed yet, so Xi'er doesn't have any. We have to wait until around the Mid-Autumn Festival before Xi'er can pick it."
Concubine Shu and Yuan'er looked at each other
At a glance, it turns out that the petals are not for bathing.
Concubine Shu seemed to like the peonies very much, and immediately asked Yuan'er to go down and change tea for her and Murong Xi.
Then he said: "Xi'er knows a lot, but these concubines know nothing at all."
Murong Xi said: "I know a lot about some medicinal materials, but I heard an old doctor mention the efficacy of this flower. Unfortunately, it's out of season. In March next year, I will pick some peach blossoms for Concubine Shu. There shouldn't be too many peach blossoms.
Drink, drink in moderation, it can promote gastrointestinal motility and make your complexion look like peach blossoms in March. Haha, this is also what I heard from the old doctor. He is usually a doctor who treats the wives of wealthy families, so he has certain experience.
." As Murong Xizheng was talking, Yuan'er brought peony tea.
Opening the lid, Concubine Shu smelled a refreshing fragrance. Then she said, "I didn't expect that peonies brewed into tea would taste so sweet?"
Murong Xi started to deceive Concubine Shu again. Regardless of whether she believed it or not, he deceived her first.
"Shu Mufei doesn't know that if you insist on drinking it all year round, you will still have this faint fragrance on your body."
Concubine Shu blinked her eyes, and then suddenly said as if she had discovered a new world: "Xier, Concubine Shu can always smell the subtle fragrance on your body, but I have never seen you put it on your face.
Rouge gouache. Could it be said that the smell on your body comes from drinking scented tea?"
Mo'er's heart was already filled with tears.
Can her lady still deceive people? Does the fragrance on your body come from tea?
Murong Xi twitched the corners of his lips, and then continued: "Yes, but what I drank was not peony. It was the wild flowers that the old doctor found somewhere in the mountains. The fragrance was very fragrant to me, but it was not as good as the peonies.
The floral fragrance was not so pungent, so I dried it and kept it. I was only ten years old at that time, and I still drink it until now. Therefore, Xi'er doesn't need to apply any rouge and gouache, and her body will still have a faint fragrance."
Murong Xi's expression made people angry just looking at her. She was not here to bring flower tea to Concubine Shu. There was clearly a trace of pride in her eyes. She was dangling in front of Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu really wanted to put her in front of Concubine Shu.
She slapped her there.
Mo'er didn't look at their young lady, but looked at the sky, feeling really embarrassed.
"Oh, it's so magical? Then I'll give it a try. I'll have to ask Xi'er to send me more in the future." Seeing that Murong Xi finally stopped, Concubine Shu finally spoke. In fact, she had already thought about it.
Murong Xi's mouth should be shut.
Such a girl, who would show off her good stuff, could she have the ability to quietly remove the charm? She really didn't believe it at all.
"Okay, Xi'er promised Concubine Shumu that if there are petals better than peonies, she will think of Concubine Shumu immediately." Murong Xi said with bright eyes.
Concubine Shu took a sip and thought the taste was okay. Although this girl was a bit annoying, it was really good.
At this time, Murong Xi spoke again: "If Concubine Shumu feels that it has no taste, you can ask Yuan'er to add some honey for you. Later, I will send some rose flowers and jasmine flowers to Concubine Shumu, which will taste better.
Sweet."
Concubine Shu nodded, and then said with a soft look in her eyes, "Xi'er is still interested."
"Shu Mufei, Xi'er won't bother you if you are sick. I came here specifically to see you today and then brought you these petals. Xi'er went back to the palace first. You take good care of yourself." Murong Xifu
Fu Fu body, and then left with Mo'er.
When Concubine Shu saw Murong Xi was about to leave, she didn't stop her. She wished she could leave quickly. Murong Xi was so noisy today.
It was unbearable for her ears.
"Master, is there really nothing wrong with this tea?" Yuan'er asked cautiously.
Concubine Shu nodded, and then said: "When you drink it, there will be a hint of sweetness in your mouth, and the taste is very good. Yuan'er, you are thinking too much. Even if she is really like a snake and a scorpion, she will not give up to me in Biyun Palace."
"Poisoned. But if she is really that powerful, then this girl can really pretend." She pretends to make people want to take pictures of her.
"It's Yuan'er who's worried too much. It turns out that she got so many flower petals in the side hall just to make herbal tea. I thought she had some conspiracy." Yuan'er breathed a sigh of relief, she was serious.
Afraid.
"Yuan'er, actually, what you said makes sense. The fragrance of the side hall is so strong, is it to cover up some smell?" Concubine Shu put down the teacup in her hand and said softly.
"What kind of smell would it have to make the princess pick so many petals?" Yuan'er asked puzzledly.
Concubine Shu shook her head and felt that she was overthinking. So she said, "Maybe I am overthinking. In the future, we must be more careful."
"Yes." Yuan'er replied.
"By the way, it seems that there has been no movement in Yuzhen Pavilion for a long time..." Concubine Shu suddenly thought of Concubine Zhen. She had not seen Concubine Zhen walking around Biyun Palace these days.
"Just use the same amount as before, master, don't worry." Yuan'er replied.
"Well, I'm just surprised that she doesn't come to my Biyun Palace recently." Concubine Shu said doubtfully.
"Master, I heard that I don't know who killed the cat belonging to Concubine Zhen. The method was extremely cruel. After skinning the cat, he put it in a box and sent it back to Yuzhen Pavilion. Concubine Zhen may
I was scared, so my condition has been a bit serious recently, so I haven’t come here." Yuan'er thought for a while and said.
"I have forgotten about this matter. First it was about the Emperor Yuan's concubine, and then I had to take care of the harem. Recently, Ya'er has had problems again, it's true. Let's go to her palace early tomorrow morning.
." Concubine Shu said slowly.
"Yes, I will prepare the gifts." Yuan'er responded.
"Well, let's go." After Concubine Shu leaned on the sofa, she couldn't help but picked up the scented tea and started drinking it.
Let's talk about Murong Xi. As he walked towards Ningxi Hall, Mo'er followed behind him and had a lot of fun.
"I said Mo'er, what's so funny?" Murong Xi said helplessly.
There was still a smile in Mo'er's eyes. She finally took a breath and said: "Miss, look, you fooled Concubine Shu. She was stunned for a while. Drinking scented tea all the year round can make your body smell fragrant. Why didn't you say that you can still succeed?"
Where is the fairy?"
"I want to say it, can she believe it? It's not just for acting with her, it's not easy for me either." Murong Xi's eyes were filled with grievances and she murmured.
However, Mo'er still rolled her eyes mercilessly. She really despised their young lady.
"Can't you find another way to convince them?"
"Haha, I'm used to it." Murong Xi said with a smile.
They naturally knew that Yuan'er entered the medicine room last night and must have seen the petals all over the palace. Instead of letting them guess, they might as well take the initiative to go to Biyun Palace to answer their questions for the master and servant. Even Concubine Shu thought of it.
It doesn't help that Murong Xi put the flower petals in the side hall to remove the smell, because now there is no smell of medicine in the medicine room, and all that is left is the fragrance of flowers. Murong Xi is really afraid that one day there will be no medicine.
She was careful to attract butterflies, so when she left, she ordered someone to collect all the flowers in the side hall.
