Chapter 565 Appetizer
The unwillingness that Zhu Huaizhen mentioned was Queen Du’s unwillingness towards Shen Nuo.
Shen Nuo had long known that Queen Du was not a descendant of Du Sinan.
Empress Du kept saying that she wanted to restore the prosperity of the Roujia Empress era, but Shen Nuo listened but never took it seriously. To Shen Nuo, Empress Du was just a tool for her, not a place for love.
However, Queen Du had no way to deal with Chen Nuo and even developed some feelings for her.
What do you call this? It’s called karma, and no one can escape it.
How did Queen Du deal with Xiao Ge in the beginning?
"Princess Ronghua, you're joking." Queen Du shook her head slightly.
Afterwards, Queen Du left the hall.
Zhu Huaizhen saw it and followed quietly.
"Queen Du, I can help you get Chen Nuo's body. As a proud noble lady like us, even if we can't win Chen Nuo's heart, we must get Chen Nuo's body." Zhu Huaizhen smiled with a bit of gloating.
"Princess Ronghua, are you so kind?" Queen Du's voice turned cold.
"No, I just want to see you fail. You said, if you have made sufficient preparations but still cannot get Shen Nuo's body, wouldn't that be very embarrassing?" Zhu Huaizhen sneered.
Queen Du knew that Zhu Huaizhen said this just to provoke her.
However, she was willing to be provoked because she had too many things to be unwilling to do.
Besides, she had a glimmer of fantasy in her heart.
She was the most noble lady of the Du family in Shangjing and also the most noble lady of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Even Emperor Zhao of Zhou would often mock her in a sarcastic tone, saying that there was no one more suitable as the queen than her. Because she was the only queen of Emperor Zhao of Zhou, she was able to rule the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Then, as a citizen of Northern Zhou, why didn't Shen Nuo submit to her?
So, Zhu Huaizhen helped and sneaked into Chen Nuo's bedroom and lit Wenrouxiang and Midie Powder.
The ingredients of Gentle Incense are agarwood, orchid, clove, jasmine, magnolia, osmanthus, and honey. Fresh orchid, jasmine, magnolia, and osmanthus flowers are placed in a stone mortar and pounded into a floral paste. Cloves are ground into a fine powder, and agarwood into coarse grains. The fine clove powder and coarse agarwood grains are then mixed together and added to the floral paste, where they are further pounded. An appropriate amount of honey is added to form incense pellets, which are then pressed into cakes, dried, and then dried. The finished product is typically used for fumigation.
Midie Powder is non-toxic and has a light fragrance. After burning, no trace can be found.
The gentle fragrance mixed with the mist powder is the deadly love fragrance.
Queen Du burned incense and bathed, wearing a crimson purple double-layered silk gown with a heart pattern.
She deliberately infused herself with the fragrance of Xihua, and heard that Shen Nuo didn't dislike it.
The phrase "Xihuaxiang" (cherishing the fragrance of flowers) is taken from a poem. Last night, the rain was light and the wind was strong, and I couldn't sleep off the hangover. I asked the person rolling up the curtains, but they said the crabapple tree was still the same. Do you know? Do you know? They should be green, fat, and red, thin. Coincidentally, there are two kinds of flowers in Xihuaxiang: the lotus is fat, and the saffron is thin.
The main ingredients of Xihuaxiang are lotus, saffron, agarwood, and dendrobium. First, take fresh lotus flowers, using only the petals, and roast them half-dry. Next, take fresh or dried saffron and roll them whole inside the half-dry lotus flowers, pressing them tightly and cutting them into small pieces. Next, use the original agarwood leaves to cut them into the same size as the lotus rolls. Use warm dendrobium juice to seal the two leaves together, then dry them in the shade and roast them again. It can be used by either decocting or rendering.
Unfortunately, it was dark, with snow and wind blowing. Empress Du was hugged by an icy body and couldn't help shivering.
"Empress Du, let me tell you the truth, this is not a small revenge, it's just an appetizer." Emperor Zhao of Zhou visited Empress Du.
Yes, Chen Nuo discovered the Midie Powder and immediately made a deal with Emperor Zhao of Zhou.
Chen Nuo returns to Shangjing and will deal with the Shangjing Du family on behalf of Emperor Zhao of Zhou.
Empress Du could only be the empress of Emperor Zhao of Zhou, not the first noble lady of the Du family in Shangjing.
