Dun Shuyuan was applying pearl cream and said confidently, "It's okay. Let her enjoy her glory for a few days. My face will be healed soon. By then, I will definitely not let her snatch the emperor away."
In the east warm room.
The palace maid opened the door, Sheng Xiyan walked in, and smelled the wonderful aroma of agarwood.
"Miss Sheng, in this cabinet is the emperor's collection of top-grade agarwood. Please take a look first. The emperor will come over when he is done."
Sheng Xiyan nodded, reached out and carefully picked up a piece of agarwood to look at it.
The fragrance of agarwood is layered, varied, magical, and difficult to describe in words.
Sheng Xiyan has been cramming knowledge about agarwood for a while now, and now that she has seen the real thing, she realizes that what is written in the book is less than one ten-thousandth of it.
Because he was too focused, he didn't even hear Xuan Ling coming in through the door.
He walked closer slowly and saw that she was wearing a folk woman's costume that was different from the one she wore in the imperial garden that day.
Light blue waist-length silk skirt with water lily jasmine sleeves.
Her three thousand black hairs were tied into two ring-shaped buns standing on the top of her head, and were adorned with pearls and jade, making her look gentle and charming.
"Sorry to have kept Miss Yanyan waiting for a long time."
Sheng Xiyan turned around, holding a piece of agarwood in her hand, bowed and whispered, "Master Xuan is here."
Xuan Ling stepped forward and asked her, "Yan Yan, do you know what kind of agarwood you are holding?"
Sheng Xiyan smiled and said, "I've been thinking about it for a long time. I guess this is Hainan agarwood from the Wanxiang series, right?"
Xuan Ling's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said, "I didn't expect Yan Yan to understand Chen Xiang. I now have a close friend with whom I can communicate in the future."
I have been diligently reading books and studying them recently, and keeping the key points in mind. It turns out that this is a good way to get closer to the emperor.
Sheng Xiyan sighed in her heart that no effort was in vain.
She had to let the emperor express his knowledge, so she asked naively, "Your Majesty, why are agarwood divided into three categories: water-sinking, floating, and yellow-ripe?"
Xuan Ling excitedly pulled her over and began to explain, "The water-sinking agarwood has dense oils and sinks immediately in water, so it's of the highest quality. The raft-type agarwood half floats and half sinks in water. The yellow-ripe agarwood doesn't sink..."
The two of them gathered together to discuss agarwood enthusiastically. Sheng Xiyan not only asked questions, but also memorized them in his mind and studied very seriously.
Xuan Ling took out a string of agarwood from the golden nanmu cabinet and pulled her hand to put it on.
"Yanyan, look at this string of beads. What kind of agarwood is this?"
Sheng Xiyan carefully identified it and said in surprise, "Qinan agarwood?"
"Yan Yan is very smart. I give it to you."
Sheng Xiyan stroked the agarwood beads with her delicate jade fingers and said playfully, "Your Majesty, this is a top-notch treasure. Are you really willing to give it away?"
Xuan Ling smiled gently and said, "A true friend is hard to find, and Miss Yanyan is very much in my heart."
Sheng Xiyan smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling as she said, "Master Xuan, I will give you a gift in return. I will give it to you in two days."
"I'm looking forward to it." Xuan Ling pulled her to sit on his lap.
He touched her bun and asked, "What's the name of the bun Yanyan is wearing today?"
Sheng Xiyan leaned close to Xuan Ling's ear and blew a breath into it, which made him shudder. He heard her say, "It's a Feixian bun. Does it look good?"
"Beautiful." His voice was a little hoarse.
Eunuch Fu came in from outside the palace and reported, "Your Majesty, the Empress requests an audience."
