"Liu Xi, do you smell anything?"

"I smell it, a fragrance I've never smelled before."

"Yes, I smell it too. Go ask Concubine Li where this fragrance comes from."

"I'll go ask..."

Just when Liu Xi was about to go in to find Concubine Li, Concubine Li had already hurried out to greet him.

"Your Majesty, may I be forgiven for being slow in arriving."

The emperor didn't have time to ask any more questions and just waved his hand and said:

"My beloved, I haven't been to your Hibiscus Palace for a long time. I heard that you have some delicious food here. Bring it out and let me taste it."

Concubine Li was secretly pleased with herself and bowed to the emperor again.

"Your Majesty, please take a moment to rest. I will order someone to prepare it right away."

"Okay, go get ready. I'm getting hungry after smelling the fragrance of your palace."

Concubine Li hurriedly ordered the palace maids to get busy, and she brought the emperor to the copper pot.

Looking at the copper pot, the emperor's interest was instantly piqued.

He looked at Concubine Li who was busy lighting the charcoal and asked in surprise:

"Where did this thing come from? I don't think it's ever been seen in the palace."

"Your Majesty, I was bored and just thought of this. Please try it later."

“Cough cough cough…”

Smelling the smoke from the charcoal fire, the emperor covered his mouth and coughed lightly. Eunuch Liu came over and patted the emperor on the back, complaining:

"What is this? Why is there still cigarettes? Your Majesty, why don't we go back first!"
