Chapter 212 Wuerxiang
The eunuchs here hurriedly went to catch the cicada, but when they killed the troublesome cicada, the queen did not wake up or even turn over.
"This fragrance is amazing." Chunying Xiaosheng said to the eunuch in charge, "But why is it that only the Queen can sleep while we smell it and feel calm but not sleepy?"
"So this is what I say smells good," the eunuch in charge couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "It's not something like the perspiration medicine to make the fragrance smell good. If it were really that kind of thing, would we dare to give it to the empress?"

The sun gradually moved from the south to the west. The little maids waiting in the corridor couldn't help but dozed off after standing for too long.
The intermittent chirping of cicadas came again from the Royal Garden in the northwest corner, but this time no one tried to catch them, as if the cicadas' sound could also hypnotize them.
The queen opened her eyes and was in a daze for a long time.
She glanced around the bedroom in astonishment, only Chunying was kneeling beside her bed, her body hunched over, obviously asleep.
There is no one else.
The sun fell on the east wall, and she suddenly felt a little cold in the room.
"What time is it?" the queen asked, her voice slightly hoarse, and she realized that she had taken a nap for a long time.
Chunying woke up in response to the sound and quickly rubbed her eyes: "Damn it, slave, I fell asleep."
"What's this? I seem to have been asleep for a long time." The queen felt a slight fatigue on her body, but this fatigue made her feel extremely comfortable.
Her body had not been so relaxed for a long time, as if it had been bound for a long time and was suddenly untied.
"It's almost past time," Chunying said as she stood up. "I saw that the empress was sleeping deeply, so I sent them all away. I'll ask them to make tea right now."
"I have slept for so long." The Queen was surprised and happy, "No wonder I feel so energetic."
"Yes, the empress's eyes are clearer than before!" Chunying was also very happy, "It can be seen that the fragrance sent in by the princess is really effective."
One sentence reminded the queen: "Do you still have that fragrance? Use some more at night and see if you use it for a few days."
"There are still a lot of them. I think they will last seven or eight days." Chunying said, "I have to put them away."
The queen is now in better spirits than before, and her appetite has also improved.
I had a little more dinner than usual, so I took a long walk in the palace before going back to the bedroom.
To be honest, the people following her were also a little worried, thinking that the Queen had taken a long nap and might not be able to sleep well at night.
Who wants to light the incense after bathing? The queen quickly fell asleep again.
I woke up at five o'clock on the second day and slept for nearly four hours, which was unprecedented in recent years.
"My queen is awake. How do you feel now? Can you relieve your fatigue?" The eunuch in charge stayed up all night and was waiting outside.
"Oh, I slept so well this night." The Queen stretched unconsciously, "In the past, I only felt as if my body was filled with lead, heavy and tired, but now I feel light all over. It's actually more effective than taking the elixir. .”
"Your Majesty, you can finally have a good night's sleep," the eunuch in charge even cried with excitement, "I have tortured you so much these years. I feel so distressed for you, but I can't help you."
"Okay, don't cry. It seems that this incense still works, but I don't know if it will become less effective after a while." The queen was also worried.
She has suffered from insomnia for many years. Some medicine or acupuncture worked at first, but gradually, these methods became less and less effective.
"Yinu thought stupidly, this incense is more effective than anything else." The eunuch in charge said, "In the past, no matter whether I used medicine or acupuncture, I never saw you sleeping so well."
"That's right. The imperial doctors always tell me not to care too much about this matter. The more you care about it, the harder it will be to sleep." The queen sighed and said, "Don't worry about whether this fragrance will last long. Use it. The day will come! ”
"Yes, no matter what, you have to relax your mind. Do you want to lie down for a while longer, or are you going to get up now?" "I feel a little hungry, please ask them to bring breakfast." The queen said.
"Your Majesty, would you like to have a bowl of bird's nest porridge first?" Chunying asked hurriedly.
The queen frowned and said, "Don't worry about that. I've been drinking it for many years, but I haven't seen any benefit."
"Then the servant will go directly to pass the breakfast." The eunuch in charge said happily, "There are more tricks than usual."
Because of sleep, the queen was grumpy and had a loss of appetite.
It’s hard to have anything to eat, let alone feel hungry.
But after a full night's sleep, her appetite seemed to have recovered a little.
When the concubines came to say hello early in the morning, they were all surprised that the queen had not finished her breakfast yet.
The queen was in a good mood today. She smiled and said to everyone: "You all come in and sit down! Those who haven't had breakfast can come and join us."
The clever palace concubine asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, you look very good today. I wonder if there is any happy event?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"What happy event? It's just a good night's sleep for me." The queen smiled, "If you make this breakfast well, you will be rewarded."
He also rewarded everyone who was waiting in front of him.
So everyone in the palace knew that the queen had a good sleep and was in a good mood.
During lunch, the emperor specially came to eat with the queen. The queen was gentler than usual.
Wen Mingqian was still staying in Prince Zhao's Mansion, grinding spices and mixing facial fat with several smart female envoys in the mansion.
Because it was made for the queen, there was nothing to be careless about.
Princess Zhao can't go to the ground yet, but she is extremely concerned about this matter, for fear that something will go wrong.
Although she and the queen are identical sisters, they have not grown up together since childhood. Moreover, the queen is in the phoenix position. Compared with ordinary sisters, they always lack some intimacy, and these intimacy are filled with awe. .
"Ms. Wen, do you think my pearl powder is ground finely enough?" A maid came over with a mortar and asked.
Wen Mingqian looked at it and pinched it with his hands: "First use fine yarn to separate it, and then grind the remaining coarse ones. After the separation is completed, it needs to be separated again with soft silk."
"Ms. Wen, this mutton fat has been melted with white fungus water, do you want to add snow grass oil?" Another person came over and asked.
"Not yet, we have to wait until it cools down to 70%. Then I will do it myself." Wen Mingqian said.
Even though it is just a small box of dough, it takes no less effort and effort than building a house.
And if there is a slight discrepancy in the middle, you have to start from scratch, which is not an ordinary detail.
But Wen Mingqian did it with ease and calmness.
"I wonder if the Queen has used your incense?" When Wen Mingqian came over to greet Princess Zhao that day, Princess Zhao mentioned this matter again.
Wen Mingqian just smiled and said nothing. She knew that unless the Queen didn't try, she would never leave her as long as she tried.
During her seven years at Shuangxi, she did many things, but the one she devoted the most to was making this incense.
The Queen would never have thought that someone would spend seven years preparing this thing for her, this unique fragrance in the world.
