Chapter 499: Showing Goodwill
The mischievous remarks continue.
No one has ever connected Concubine Zhao Shufei with the idea of beauty bringing disaster.
"Tu Mi, tell me, what does Queen Du like?" Zhu Huaizhen said slowly, and then yawned repeatedly.
Hey, why is she so sleepy? Has she not listened to enough opera?
If Tu Mi knew this idea, she would definitely complain that His Highness had listened to too many operas.
"Your Highness, do you want to show your goodwill to Queen Du?" Tu Mi asked.
"Well, not necessarily." Zhu Huaizhen yawned again.
Forget it, let the Taoyao Army take the stage.
So, the babbling was particularly lively.
Orioles sing at dawn in the Jade Palace of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai Waterside Pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse! Here on this pile of mossy green tiles, I once slept in a romantic sleep, witnessing the rise and fall of fifty years. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake at night, and owls roost on Fenghuangtai. The dream of the ruined mountains is the most real, the old land is hard to lose. I don't believe this map has been changed!
Wow, I never get tired of listening to "Peach Blossom Fan".
"Your Highness, are you only showing your favor to Queen Du?" Tu Mi frowned, full of doubts.
"To Queen Du, I'll send her a kind of incense, Huaxun Incense." Zhu Huaizhen thought for a moment.
Huaxun incense, made from sandalwood, cloves, tulips, osmanthus, ambergris, and honey, is a complex incense burner with two different methods. It's typically used in autumn.
Method 1: First, cut Indian sandalwood into strips and soak them in an ambergris solution for three days and three nights before removing them from the water. Dry them in the shade and grind them into a fine powder. Next, use male cloves from Caryophyllus caryophyllus, roast the rhizomes of tulip, and use dried osmanthus flowers. Grind these three spices into coarse grains, mix them with the Indian sandalwood powder, and add an appropriate amount of honey to make coarse incense sticks, which are then burned.
The second method: Grind cloves, tulips, and dried osmanthus flowers into a fine powder, mix with sandalwood powder made from ambergris, and add a small amount of Hainan agarwood powder to create seal incense. The mold is up to your preference; auspicious characters like "Fu Lu Shou" (meaning fortune, wealth, and longevity) can be chosen. Qiao Dianhua, too lazy to think, simply used a ready-made mold. The incense is burned in a seal incense burner.
Huaxunxiang has other wonderful uses. Add Amomum villosum powder, white peony powder, cardamom powder, half the sandalwood powder, add appropriate amount of honey, and refine it into incense pills. The effects of taking it are to help digestion, relieve depression, stimulate appetite, and eliminate abdominal distension.
"Your Highness, aren't you afraid of being pushed back?" Tu Mi joked.
"Retreat." Zhu Huaizhen shook his head and laughed.
Sure enough, less than an hour after the Huaxun incense was delivered, it was returned with a piece of Huajian incense attached.
The ingredients of the flower fragrance are sandalwood, peach blossoms, roses, lilies, lotus flowers, cloves, and musk. First, grind the Indian old mountain sandalwood into a fine powder. Then, soak fresh peach blossoms, dried roses, fresh lilies, and fresh white lotus flowers in a musk solution overnight. Then, pound the mixture into a fragrant paste and mix it with the fine sandalwood powder.
There are two kinds of Huajianxiang: fragrance pills and fragrance dew. To make fragrance pills, add appropriate amount of honey. To make fragrance dew, filter the solution with gauze.
"This flower fragrance was originally liked by Xiao Ge. Queen Du is probably mocking Your Highness. Don't overestimate your own abilities. After all, Xiao Ge also fell into her hands." Qiu Niang said coldly.
"She thought that the disastrous remarks were directed at her. Why is she so unconfident? She doesn't look like a descendant of Du Sinan at all." Zhu Huaizhen held his rosy cheeks and sighed helplessly.
Speaking of which, her mother Xue's ancestor had some connection with Du Sinan.
"Tu Mi, you can show your goodwill to Emperor Zhao of Zhou." Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.
