Chapter 17 The advertising effect is great!
With Emperor Taizong, a perverted and lustful male animal, in front of her, Luo Li didn't dare to show off her acting skills and act stupid and crazy anymore, for fear of being counterproductive and being remembered by the emperor. She
honestly and properly served tea to the Empress and several virtuous concubines.
Empress Mingde and several virtuous concubines also gave gifts to Princess Qin.
The emperor didn't stay long. After Princess Qin served tea, he got up and went to Chuigong Hall to handle state affairs. After
everyone saw the emperor off, Empress Mingde asked the palace maids to bring some rare fruits to Princess Qin.
After the pervert emperor left, Luo Li, who felt relieved, became energetic again and continued to show off her acting skills.
: "Your Majesty! The Hami melons and grapes that were sent as tribute from the Western Regions are extremely sweet, but these delicacies cannot be bought with money outside the palace. Today, Your Majesty has given me a great gift, and I can feast on them."
Luo Li moved a plate of grapes and Hami melons in front of her, and the juice splashed everywhere as she ate.
The emperor was not around, and the way she ate made the ladies in the palace laugh so hard that they fell backwards.
The eunuchs and palace maids also relaxed, and the sound of their laughter was mixed with their expressions, and the palace was filled with a joyful and harmonious atmosphere.
The King of Qin covered his eyes, unable to bear to look.
[This silly princess of his has the best reputation in the capital for being a glutton. 】
After eating a large plate of fresh fruit, Luo Li put down the plate with satisfaction and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Thank you for the delicious fresh fruit, Your Majesty! I have no way to repay you, so I will give you the perfume that I and a few maids have made!"
Luo Li said, and took out a few exquisite blue and white porcelain bottles from her arms.
: "This bottle of lavender scent is for the graceful and elegant Empress;
this bottle of orchid scent is for Consort Li Xian, who has a temperament like orchid fragrance;
this bottle of rose scent is for the charming and bright Consort Fang Xian;
this bottle of peony scent is for the beautiful and generous Consort Wang De;
this bottle of lotus scent is for the elegant and refined Consort Sun De..."
All the concubines looked at the exquisite small porcelain bottles that Consort Qin took out like a magic trick with curiosity.
: "This bottle of dragon birthday scent is for the noble and incomparable emperor." Luo Li finally finished this rhyme and talent-revealing speech.
The maids delivered exquisite blue and white or red porcelain bottles to each of the ladies according to the order of the Princess of Qin.
Empress Mingde opened the cork on the small porcelain bottle, and a faint fragrance came to her nose.
The queen's eyes lit up!
She closed her eyes and tasted it carefully with her nose, and said happily, "The subtle fragrance floats, refreshing, it is really a good spice!"
She dropped a drop on her green onion-like fingertips, and the fragrance overflowed, "What's more rare is that this fragrance is long-lasting and elegant, but not strong. It is really a good spice!"
Empress Mingde praised it twice in a row with joy.
Seeing this, several other virtuous concubines also opened the corks of the small porcelain bottles.
The hall was suddenly filled with subtle fragrance, which made people feel refreshed!
Concubine Li Xian smelled the orchid-scented perfume in her hand, and her eyebrows curved in surprise, "Not bad! As faint as orchid, the fragrance is mysterious, elegant but not strong, distant but not ostentatious, what a good perfume!"
The King of Qin was a little confused!
His silly princess actually has such a skill? No wonder she and several maids have an extremely pleasant faint fragrance.
Luo Li looked at the reactions of several noble ladies to the perfume with satisfaction.
[It's done! The effect of this advertising promotion is absolutely perfect! With more than 20 boxes of dragon's birthday incense and dragon's brain incense raw materials, we will increase production and make a lot of money! 】
: "Princess Qin, this kind of fragrance...Shui'er, was it made by you and a few maids?" Concubine Li Xian couldn't help asking.
"Yes! Report to Concubine Xian, what I like most is to make something delicious and fun.
This perfume is made by me for fun, using the dragon birthday incense and camphor incense that my father at home didn't want to use, and adding more than 30 kinds of special and precious treasures."
After a pause, Luo Li continued, "The ladies are used to using good things. If this perfume can catch the eyes of the ladies, I will provide it to the ladies in the future."
The Princess Qin looked like she was missing a few strings in her brain, but her temperament was generous and generous.
Empress Mingde smiled and thanked her, "Then I would like to thank Princess Qin first. I really like this perfume."
Several other ladies also hurriedly thanked her, expressing their love for this perfume.
Concubine Li Xian smiled and joked, "No wonder Princess Qin was not interested in the South China Sea red coral and night pearls given by the emperor, but loved the two boxes of dragon birthday incense and camphor so much! It turns out that they are used to make this perfume."
Luo Li raised her chin, and her carefree look was eye-catching.
: "What's the use of those rare treasures that can't be eaten, drunk or played with? I only like delicious, drinkable and fun things."
Concubine Wang De smiled, "This child is really innocent, honest and interesting, which makes people like her!"
If you get good things from others, even a fool will be praised like a flower! What's more, she promised that she would supply the perfume in the future.
Several ladies gave their compliments without hesitation.
The King of Qin saw that his silly princess had almost finished playing the game of showing off, so he stood up and said goodbye to the ladies.
Luo Li followed closely behind the King of Qin, calculating proudly in her heart.
[The more than 20 acres of lavender in the farm should be harvested. There is still some rose and peony essential oil left, but we have to get some orchids quickly, lest the raw materials run out of stock when perfume is selling like hot cakes. 】
The King of Qin looked at the person beside him, a little dazed and unable to see through her feelings.
[Is this silly princess that Mr. Sima and I have carefully selected really a fool with a brain disease? 】
The King of Qin took the princess with him and did not leave the palace, but walked to the west.
The further you go, the fewer majestic palaces there are. Although the buildings are also exquisite and beautiful, the pavilions and courtyards are becoming more and more dense, and the area of each building is correspondingly narrower.
Luo Li admired it curiously all the way.
Although the economy of the Song Dynasty is well developed, the palace is really not big! The concubines of the emperor, except for the most noble ones, the other concubines live in cramped conditions.
The King of Qin, who had been speechless all the way, finally spoke, "Today I will take you to see my mother, and you, the daughter-in-law, will offer her a cup of tea!"
Luo Li pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Your mother? Is she the Queen Mother of Song?"
"Yes!"
Luo Li continued to look confused.
"Isn't Empress Song the empress married by your father, Emperor Taizu? Why doesn't she live in the palace over there, but moved to where the current emperor's concubines live?
These courtyards are so small, how can they be worthy of Empress Song's noble status?"
[You dog King Qin! You secretly used my toothbrush and didn't admit it. I'm going to stab you in the heart and vent my anger by sprinkling salt on your wound!]
The King of Qin, who was stabbed in the heart, had a gloomy face and didn't say anything. The gentle and warm expression on his face that was usually indifferent was broken by the precise knife of his silly princess.
The King of Qin brought Luo Li to an elegant and quiet courtyard near the Yanxi Palace. On the indigo-colored plaque was {Ya Yan Pavilion}.
Luo Li thought that this was to make Queen Song be a good mute and say less than what she should not say! When
the palace maids saw the King of Qin, they had already gone in to report in surprise.
Luo Li took the opportunity to stab the dog King Qin in the heart again and sprinkled salt on him.
She asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Queen Song is your mother, why was she not seen when I greeted her parents and when I served tea just now?"
The King of Qin's face became uglier and uglier, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
[Why did this fool deliberately stab me in the wound? ]
After the King of Qin entered the hall, he lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, saying, "Your son greets your mother."
Luo Li also knelt on the ground, saying, "Your daughter-in-law greets your mother."
Then he raised his head and looked at Queen Song curiously without any scruples.
The woman sitting on the yellow pear wood carved chair was about thirty years old, with a beautiful face and a gentle temperament. It can be seen that she must have been a stunning beauty in the past.
But her face was a little pale, and her complexion was not good. There was a hint of melancholy hidden between her eyebrows.
[That's right! No matter who was once the mother of a country, suddenly her husband was killed by her brother-in-law, leaving an orphan and a widow to be bullied by the enemy, and dared not speak out. How could there be any happiness in this humiliating life! ]
Luo Li felt a little sympathy and distress for the woman in front of her.
Queen Song said lightly, "Get up! Sit down and talk."
Queen Song just glanced at Luo Li lightly, and her eyes were no longer on her, and her eyes were all focused on King Qin.
However, a bright and pretty girl standing next to Queen Song stared at Luo Li's face, her eyes showing curiosity and surprise!
"How is your son?" Queen Song's voice was full of concern.
The King of Qin was as gentle as ever, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. I am fine."
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Luo Li looked at the furnishings in the room curiously. Although it was exquisite, it was definitely not luxurious.
[It seems that Emperor Taizong was a bit harsh to this sister-
in-law! Your Majesty, are you ashamed? You
killed her husband and took away the throne, but you still treat her so badly in terms of food, clothing and daily expenses.
It is completely different from the favor and care you show to your nephew outside. This is bullying that she stays in the deep palace and the eyes of the ministers can't see it! 】
The young girl beside Queen Song saw that her mother only cared about the emperor's brother and ignored the new sister-in-law, so she stepped forward and said with a coquettish smile, "The sister-in-law is so beautiful! Yongqing has seen the sister-in-law."
Luo Li immediately liked this beautiful girl with a lively and lovely expression.
"Yongqing, you have a good eye! You can see that the sister-in-law is beautiful and peerless, so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall, and the moon is ashamed of the flowers. She is loved by everyone and flowers bloom when she sees her..."
Yongqing laughed out loud.
He grabbed the sister-in-law's hand and held it affectionately, "The sister-in-law is still so innocent and pure, she is really loved by everyone and flowers bloom when she sees her!"
Queen Song was stunned by the words of this silly daughter-in-law!
I have seen people bragging before, but I have never seen such a self-boasting person. If this person is a normal person with a brain, how thick-skinned he must be!
The King of Qin was really blind to the princess's narcissism and thick skin.
"Princess, serve tea to the queen mother!"
The Queen Song's attention shifted from her son to her new daughter-in-law.
After taking the teacup, she was still looking up and down at the person kneeling in front of her.
Luo Li thought to herself, "Why don't you drink a sip quickly, let me get up!"
The Queen Song finally sipped the fragrant tea elegantly, "Get up!"
She turned around and ordered the maid beside her, "Bring the sapphire headpiece in my jewelry box and give it to my daughter-in-law as a tea gift."
The King of Qin was surprised, "Mother!..."
The Queen Song waved her hand to stop her son's words, "Since this child has entered the Zhao family and become your princess, the prince must not treat her badly."
What the Queen Song thought was that such a beautiful and innocent girl was married to the prince as a shield. She didn't know when she would be implicated. She felt a little guilty about this child.
Luo Li was delighted!
[This Queen Song is a good person! The dog King of Qin! Did you hear me? Your mother ordered you not to treat me badly, and give me the divorce letter as soon as possible! 】
When Queen Song handed the headpiece inlaid with blue gems to Luo Li, Luo Li, who had never paid much attention to jewelry, was a little surprised!
This headpiece was exquisite in style and finely crafted. The phoenix body carved out of gold and the inlaid blue gems were crystal clear, elegant and luxurious.
She liked it!
"Thank you, mother! This headpiece is really beautiful, I like it!" Luo Li took it happily.
She is really innocent by nature, she doesn't know how to politely refuse
before accepting it! It's rude not to reciprocate!
Luo Li reached out from her arms and took out two bottles of perfume, then thought for a while and took out two bottles of shampoo, two bars of soap, two toothbrushes and two bags of toothpaste.
The King of Qin watched her movements, staring at her chest and thinking: How did she put so many things on her body? It seemed endless.
"Mother, these are the spices that my daughter-in-law and the maids at home made for fun when we were free.
This is a perfume that can be sprinkled on clothes, this is for washing hair, this is for washing face and bathing, and this is for brushing teeth. My daughter-in-law gave a set of luxury suits to mother and sister Yongqing each."
Queen Song reached out and took her share and put it on the table, "That's thoughtful! Mother wants to talk to the prince, let Yongqing take you out for a walk!"
Luo Li felt a little disappointed. The effect of this advertising promotion was not good, and the customer reaction was too cold!
Princess Yongqing excitedly hugged the "luxury suit" given to her by the emperor's sister-in-law, and led Luo Li outside.
After seeing the two of them go out, Queen Song dismissed the servants and only left two trusted palace maids guarding the door.
There was no one in the room, and Queen Song was immediately agitated and her face darkened!
"Defang! How could you act so recklessly?"
The King of Qin quickly knelt on the ground, "I am sorry that your son has worried your mother!"
Queen Song had tears in her eyes and a trembling voice, "My son, although you are not my son, your mother has treated you as her own flesh and blood all these years. Mother and son are connected by heart!
If something happens to you, how can your mother have the face to see your father!"
"Mother, your son knows his mistake!" The King of Qin admitted his mistake honestly.
Queen Song covered her chest with her hands, "Do you know that I was almost scared to death!
The night before, there were cries of killing in the palace. Yesterday, Concubine Li Xian came to reveal a piece of news, saying that the assassin was shot in the left chest by Li Mo, the golden eagle's divine arrow, and he would definitely die.
My heart! It has been tightly tied in my throat!"
Zhao Defang couldn't help but burst into tears, "Mother, I have made you worry!"
