"Hey, King Qi is the Empress Filial Piety and Concubine Zhen's sister. We can only look at the best spices such as perfume and cannot use them."

While Zhenfei and Queen Zhao answered questions and answers, the other concubines were very jealous of perfume, but there was no time to interrupt. Seeing that the perfume seemed to be lost, Concubine Shu said.

Although this statement praises King Qi's filial piety, anyone can hear the sour taste inside.

Queen Zhao smiled gently. She was able to manage the harem peacefully. With the idea of ​​taking into account all the concubines, she said: "Sister Shu is wrong. Sister Zhen also said that this perfume was given to me by King Qi, but she did not say that all the sisters did not have any. There are so many perfumes here, and I can't use it alone."

"What the Empress said is, sisters, the King of Qi has sent so many perfumes for everyone, but it is inevitable that I will be a little inconsiderate when I ask me to distribute them, so I handed them all over to the Empress." Concubine Zhen said with a smile.

The other concubines immediately smiled, and Concubine Li said, "The King of Qi has become more and more sensible."

Empress Zhao and Concubine Zhen looked at each other. Among all the concubines, she and Concubine Zhen had a good relationship, because both of them were harmonious and kind people, and no one was willing to offend them.

Especially Zhenfei, who has no background in her family, but she is able to be safe in the harem because of her intelligence and personality.

Seeing that the other concubines were quite eager to try, Queen Zhao said, "Since that's the case, everyone should stop sitting there. Come and see what they like, and everyone will take a bottle."

This time, when Zhenfei came here, they were all concubines with more respectable status in the harem, so the concubines with low status naturally did not dare to come over to make trouble.

Queen Zhao agreed, but the other concubines could no longer hold back. They rushed forward one by one and seemed to snatch them. After a while, only six bottles of perfume were left in the box.

These six bottles each have two bottles, of course, belong to Queen Zhao. The concubines also know how to behave and should not be too greedy at this time.

The concubines in the room rush to try perfume. At this time, Empress Zhao waved to Concubine Zhen and signaled Concubine Zhen to talk to her alone.

Concubine Zhen understood and led Queen Zhao to the inside of the main hall. At this time, Queen Zhao said: "These perfumes are so unique, they must be expensive. The fief of King Qi is barren, so it must have cost a lot of money to come up with so many perfumes."

At this time, Concubine Zhen showed helplessness and said, "It's true that the King of Qi sent perfume into the palace this time to please the Queen. I have nothing to hide in this matter. The Queen must have known that Ming'er escaped back to Chang'an three years ago. Ming'er did make a big mistake, but his fiefdom was barren and there was no silver to sanction the army. With the simple three thousand people on his fiefdom, how could he resist the barbarian army? And this time I heard from Li San that it was snowing heavily in Qingzhou for half a month, and most of the people who could not find food went into the mountains to be bandits. Although he served porridge in six cities, the silver in the treasury gradually became difficult to support it."

After pausing, he said, "So he is here to send perfume this time. First, I hope that the Empress can help him speak a few good words in front of His Majesty and allocate some silver to help him overcome this difficulty. Second, he is forced to do so. If His Highness still disagrees, he can only sell perfume and make some money."

"Oh, I didn't expect that the situation of King Qi was so difficult. The emperor would still be angry when the King Qi fled his fief three years ago. Since he had made some efforts this time, I'll give it a try." Queen Zhao said.

Concubine Zhen blessed her blessing and said, "Thank you Empress."

"I don't need to say thank you, wait until I vent the emperor's words." After saying that, Queen Zhao suddenly said with interest, "You think King Qi can really refine the fragrance needed for this palace?"

Concubine Zhen was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "In the letter, King Qi did say so."

"Well, although these three tastes are good, many concubines have used them now." Queen Zhao sighed.

What a smart figure in Concubine Zhen, she instantly understood Queen Zhao's intention. She was originally a mother in the world. Since the other concubines used the same, it seemed clichéd to use it again. She meant that Xiao Ming wanted to make a unique perfume for him.

"Empress, this is not difficult. Empress only needs to tell the King of Qi the perfume she wants. The King of Qi promises that he will only make this perfume for the Empress, and other concubines will definitely not have it." Concubine Zhen said with a chuckling.

Queen Zhao nodded with satisfaction, and still talked easily to smart people, unlike that Concubine De who pretended to be crazy and stupid.

"Then let the King of Qi worry. I will talk to the emperor about the King of Qi tonight." Queen Zhao said.

Concubine Zhen remembered the incident of drunkenness in Qingzhou and said, "By the way, the King of Qi also sent some fine wine. The Empress wouldn't have a drink with the emperor tonight. The King of Qi said that this fine wine is guaranteed that the emperor would not want to leave after drinking it."

"Is that true?" Queen Zhao said in surprise.

She was the same as other concubines, and she hoped that the emperor could stay in her palace.

Concubine Zhen nodded, "Sister, I can guarantee that I have tasted a little of this wine, it can be said to be a good wine."

"Since that's the case, I will take it back and let the emperor evaluate it."

Queen Zhao got what she wanted, went back to her seat, said a few words to the concubines and left.

When the other concubines saw the queen leave, they each made excuses to leave, but after a while, they secretly found them one by one.

What Queen Zhao thought of, they also thought of, everyone wanted their own unique fragrance, and Zhenfei agreed one by one, but unlike Queen Zhao, she said that making perfume costs a lot, but it costs money.

These concubines come from the five surnames and seven hopes. All of them are rich in their families and have monthly salary in the palace. They don’t need the least money in their hands. They naturally have no problem paying money.

After a whole day of busyness, the perfume matter was settled in the harem. Concubine Zhen didn't go anywhere that night, but was waiting for news from the queen.

At this time, in Fengming Hall, Empress Zhao was drinking with Xiao Wenxuan. According to convention, Xiao Wenxuan would come to the Queen to sit in every month and then go to other places.

But today, he was kept by a jar of fine wine.

"Is this wine sent by the King of Qi?" Xiao Wenxuan was a little surprised to learn that the wine was sent to him by the King of Qi.

Queen Zhao picked up a piece of mutton for Xiao Wenxuan and said, "That's right, the King of Qi was afraid that the emperor would get angry, so he went to me and asked me to be the Majesty."

"Hmph! Qingzhou is such a barren land, and there is not enough food for every year. He has excess food to make wine." Xiao Wenxuan said angrily, "Three years ago, I was really a light fight."

Queen Zhao said softly: "Your Highness calms down. Even if there is something wrong with the King of Qi, he is your son after all, and he is also the prince of the Great Yu Kingdom."
