Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as Yun Chang woke up, she heard Qin Yi mentioning that His Majesty had issued a decree to hold the Empress Dowager Ceremony in the morning court. Yun Chang heard the words and nodded. It has been so long since Empress Hua returned to the palace. Well, the imperial decree has been issued for some time, so the conferring of the empress hall is naturally a matter of course.

Do you know when it will be held? Yun Chang raised her hand to cover her mouth, and yawned slightly, her eyes still a little sleepy.

Qin Yi nodded slightly, and took out a comb to comb Yunshang's hair, It's October 23rd, I just looked at the almanac, it's a very good day.

October? Isn't that the end of this month? Yun Shang was a little surprised, and turned to look at Qin Yi, Why are you in such a hurry?

The servant girl heard from Qianzhuo before that all the things, including the phoenix robe, the phoenix crown, and everything needed for the empress ceremony, were prepared early, and your majesty also wanted to hold the empress hall earlier. But, yes The empress has not let go, I think the empress finally agreed. Qin Yi said with a smile.

Yun Shang didn't know about this, and frowned slightly: It's a good thing to hold the Empress Dowager Ceremony, and a queen can't even be fully recognized if she hasn't even held a grand ceremony. Why doesn't the queen empress agree?

The maidservants don't know either. Qianzhuo only said that the empress disagreed, but didn't say why. Qin Yi replied softly, combed her hair to the end, and began to tie it into a bun.

Yun Shang secretly guessed in her heart that Empress Hua was a smart person, and she originally disagreed, but now she suddenly agreed, maybe it was some kind of agreement or consensus reached with Xia Huanyu, but she didn't know what it was.

Yun Chang was thinking about it when she saw the door curtain was lifted suddenly and Hua'er ran in quickly. Xu Shi ran all the way here, panting slightly, and stopped in front of Yun Chang, but was speechless for a while.

What's the matter? So anxious? Is something wrong? Yun Chang raised her head and asked.

Hua'er nodded, and finally recovered, I just heard from the hidden guard that a large number of dead horses were found in the valley in the hunting ground on the western outskirts of the city.

Yun Shang frowned when she heard the words, West of the city?

She remembered that there was a horse farm in the western suburbs. The horses in the horse farm were used for the royal family's autumn hunting, but most of them would also be sent to the market for sale.

Yun Shang remembered Li Qianmo who said yesterday that someone was buying a large number of horses in Jincheng, and his accent was from the Yelang country.

However, the matter of buying horses was done by Yunshang, and the horses they were looking for were also sent directly to various Zhuangzi for their normal use. So, where did the dead horses in the valley in the western suburbs come from?

Yun Chang was silent for a long time before saying, I see.

Hua'er glanced at Yun Chang's complexion cautiously, and then said softly: Crown Princess, do you want the servant to ask the secret guard to check?

Yun Chang shook her head and said: No, this matter has nothing to do with us, it's better not to get angry, there are thousands of ways to know the situation.

Hua'er responded softly, and then said quickly: The servant ordered someone to bring breakfast over, what would the Crown Princess want to eat?

Yun Chang shook her head, You can do whatever you want.

After breakfast, Yunshang asked the nanny to hold Baoer up, Yunshang held Baoer in her arms, Baoer smiled at Yunshang, Yunshang smelled that there seemed to be a faint smell on Baoer The taste is like medicine, but also seems to be more like grass, with a little bit of bitterness.

What is this smell on Bao'er? Yun Shang frowned, and raised her eyes to look at the nanny.

The nanny hurriedly said: Dr. Chen has been taking mugwort leaves to bathe the prince of Xiaojun these days, saying that it is to remove moisture.

When Yun Chang heard the words, Fang felt relieved. She had heard of this method, but she didn't think of such a thing. Then he smiled and said: The smell of Ai Ye is quite fresh, where is Dr. Chen?

Doctor Chen left the mansion early in the morning, saying he was going to buy some medicinal materials. Qin Yi replied with a smile: Doctor Chen said that the medicinal materials stored in our mansion are all precious, but not many are commonly used.

Yun Shang also laughed, Dr. Chen is right. Things like ginseng and deer antler sound very expensive, but they are rarely used. You prepare a room for Dr. Chen to do it. Pharmacy, it is a good thing that our mansion has a doctor who is always there, and Dr. Chen is the grandson of Xueyan doctor, and his medical skills are extraordinary. She has stayed in Changbai Mountain for such a long time, so she can stay in our mansion with peace of mind It is also our blessing to take care of Bao'er. Now that Dr. Zheng followed Young Master Liu to Liucang, he will take care of Dr. Chen more, and take care of Dr. Chen's ordinary needs, and try to take care of her as much as possible.

Qin Yi quickly responded, and then said: Okay, I understand.

After playing with Bao'er for a while, Yunshang asked Qinyi to call in the waiting mother-in-law, and settled the affairs in the mansion, the village, and the shop one by one, and it was noon.

After lunch, Yun Chang went back to the house to take a rest.

When he woke up, he saw that Luo Qingyan had returned to the mansion and was sitting behind the desk reading a book. Xu Shi noticed Yun Shang's gaze and raised his head. Seeing that Yun Shang opened his eyes, he put down the Book, walked to the soft side, smiled and said: You slept for two hours in one nap, a slob.

Yun Shang glared at Luo Qingyan, then got up and called Qin Yi to bring in water to wash her face, and then walked back to the house, I heard that many dead horses were found in the valley in the western suburbs? What kind of horse is it?

Luo lightly smiled and said, They are all war horses, it's okay, you don't need to worry about this matter.

Oh? Hearing what Luo Qingyan said, Yunshang came back to his senses, Your Highness means this, but this matter probably has something to do with His Highness?

Luo Qingyan laughed when he heard the words, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and he reached out and tapped Yunshang's forehead, Little fox.

Could your Highness tell the concubine, what kind of trick did you use? Yun Shang blinked, rubbed the place where Luo Qingyan had knocked, and asked with a smile.

Luo Qingyan turned his head and glanced at Yunshang, then raised his eyebrows and said: Prince Princess has even moved out Ningguo's soldier amulet, how can I not add some oil to make this fire burn more vigorously? Madam thinks, Ordinary people heard Li Qianmo say yesterday that a person with a Yelang accent bought a batch of horses and found so many dead horses today, how would they feel?

Yun Shang pondered for a moment before responding: I feel that the Yelang Kingdom is causing trouble and wants to kill all the war horses of our Xia Kingdom. In this way, we don't have enough war horses, so we will definitely lose money on the battlefield. You will suffer some losses. Then, you will think that the Yelang Kingdom is planning to send troops for such a despicable method.

Luo Qingyan nodded, and said with a smile: My husband thinks that Madam should gather with those other women in Jincheng at this moment.

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, and understood from Luo Qingyan's expression what he wanted to express. Yun Chang slowly raised the corners of her mouth and laughed, I'm afraid I'm going to commit another crime, this kind of jealousy is the last thing a regular wife should have...

It's okay, I like to have a jealous wife. Luo Qingyan said with a smile.

Yun Shang glanced at Luo Qingyan, then smiled and raised her voice: Qinyi, send some posts to the ladies who are a little more famous in the city, and say that I will hold a banquet in the mansion tomorrow, and invite them to come and gather .”

Now that it was decided to hold a banquet, Yun Chang got busy again. After all, she doesn't have much experience hosting banquets, and this kind of banquets are even rarer. Among the people Yunshang knew, Hua Jing was the only one who liked to hold various elegant banquets.

Yun Shang secretly thought about what kind of banquets Hua Jing had organized in her mind, and she also had an idea in her mind.

Women like gold and silver jewelry, and they have the most ways to maintain them. Although I am not good at these things, I have a lot of them that I can use. I will hold a banquet tomorrow, and I will focus on incense. Yun Shang lifted Qi Yan whispered to Qin Yi, Go to Qianyin to find some experts in making spices and powders, and let them demonstrate the usage of incense to the wives tomorrow. You go and find a suitable place in the mansion , it is best to decorate it in a more transparent room for Ning Qian to refer to, and it should be a little mysterious but deceptive.

Qin Yi responded one by one, and went to make preparations.

Yun Shang squinted her eyes, incense is usually used for incense in the house, and it is also used as a spice for fumigation of clothes. However, there are also some unserious places. In Yunshang's eyes, they really use the fragrance to the extreme. Some fragrances can refresh the mind, while others can confuse the mind. Some fragrances make people happy, while others can make people addicted.

Most of the wives that Yunshang will invite tomorrow are the wives of the royal family. Out of ten wives in the main house, there are seven or eight who are not favored by their husbands. They want to fight for favor, but because of face, there is no good way. unspeakable trouble.

With this small banquet tomorrow, she will have something to write about. Winning people's hearts, but also able to achieve her goal quietly.

Luo Qingyan sat aside and listened to Yunshang's arrangement, his eyes kept falling on Yunshang, and when he saw Qinyi going out, he smiled and said: Why do you only invite wives? Aren't there many unmarried ladies?

Yun Shang turned her eyes and glared at Luo Qingyan, then snorted and said: How can those ladies of the family be as relaxed as the women in the deep house? What's the point of pretending to be reserved? And... Yun Shang With a bit of slyness on his face, Is the content of my little banquet tomorrow not suitable for little girls?

Luo Qingyan heard the words, a flash of interest flashed in his eyes: What is the content?

Yun Shang laughed, Well, teach those wives how to capture the hearts of their husbands, so that their husbands will obey them and stop going out for sex.

Luo Qingyan couldn't help laughing, Well, you are the most qualified to teach them this.

On the second day, Yunshang slept until noon and didn't get up. The small banquet was in the afternoon. Yunshang had lunch. As soon as she left the house, she saw Ning Qian hurriedly walking over, standing under the stairs and looking up Yunshang, The place has been arranged, why don't you go and see the princess now to see if you are satisfied?

Yun Shang laughed when she heard the words, You are an expert, so I believe in your vision. After saying that, she went downstairs and walked over with Ning Qian.

The place Qin Yi chose was in a pavilion among a small bamboo forest in the mansion. Come out from the promenade by the lake, walk along the stone path to the bamboo forest, and after a short walk, you see the pavilion.

The pavilion is very large, with two floors. At the moment, the pavilion is surrounded by pink and purple gauze. When the autumn wind blows, the gauze floats up, like a dream. On the corners of the pavilion in all directions, bells are hung, and the bells dance with the breeze, making a crisp and light ring.

After entering the pavilion, you can see that the pavilion is separated by bead curtains in all directions. The bead curtains are made of crystal, which is somewhat transparent but also mysterious.

Yun Chang blinked, reached out to caress the bead curtain, and said with a smile: This is almost the boudoir that all women want in their dreams, as if in a dream.

Ning Qian smiled when she heard the words, I heard that today is going to enjoy incense, I'm very interested, but I'm sick now, so I can't come.

Yun Chang raised her eyebrows, lowered her voice and said: Since you can't come, you might as well call a woman who doesn't look very popular, but is naturally charming, and I will ask her to teach those women in the deep house how to be obsessed. .”

It's easy to handle. Ning Qian smiled teasingly, The oiran of Mingfeng Pavilion is an elegant lady, I'll let her come over later, you can also take a look, how is my training?

Yunshang agreed, sat in the pavilion for a while, then stood up, walked around the yard, looked at Ning Qian's belly, and said softly, Are you so sad?

Now Ning Qian seems to have accepted the child in her womb, she nodded lightly and said, It was really uncomfortable when I got up early, but now I can't eat anything greasy, it's really torture.

It will be fine after a while, I will let Chen Miaosi show you, get some therapeutic prescriptions, and you will feel better after taking it. When His Highness comes back in the afternoon, I will also talk to him, don't give it to me. Wang Jinhuan has arranged too many things, let him spend more time with you.

Ning Qian smiled, but did not respond.

After walking around in the promenade by the lake, a servant reported, Crown Princess, the ladies have arrived.

Yunshang nodded, and Ning Qian left after seeing this. Yunshang sat down by the corridor, raised her eyes and ordered the servants to bring the wives over.

Not long after, a few servant girls walked over with the ladies, Yun Chang's eyes fell on the oncoming women, and she stood up.

Everyone hurriedly saluted, I have seen the crown princess.

A bright smile quickly appeared on Yunshang's face: You don't need to be so polite, I invite you here today, but I just want to get close to you.

Yunshang found that after the officials of the DPRK and China changed many people, the wives of the newly appointed officials were still young.

The small banquet is set in the bamboo forest, let's go there together. Yun Chang smiled and walked in front.

Before I got near the pavilion, I heard a burst of piano sound coming from a distance. The words made everyone stop in their tracks.

A woman in a long purple dress walking not far behind Yunshang looked a little excited, The sound of the piano is really beautiful, who is playing the piano?

Yunshang had read the information of these people one by one before, and recognized it at once. This is the wife of the newly appointed servant of the household department, Mr. Wang. Mrs. Wang was the magistrate before, and Mrs. Wang was famous in that place. Talented and beautiful, especially good at piano art.

Mrs. Wang, don't worry. You will see the piano player soon. If Mrs. Wang is interested, you can have a good chat with her. Yun Shang said with a smile.

A look of surprise flashed across Mrs. Wang's face, as if she was flattered, she quickly lowered her head and replied, Yes.

Going a little further, I heard the ringing of the bell from the corner of the pavilion, tinkling and extremely crisp. Accompanied by the ringing of the bell, there is also a burst of elegant fragrance, with a bit of freshness of bamboo in it, and a refreshing floral fragrance in the fragrance of bamboo, which makes people feel refreshed.

Yun Shang couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she heard the deep and shallow breathing sounds around her.

Turning a corner, the pavilion fell into everyone's eyes, the breeze blew, and the light veil was lifted up, vaguely saw a few people sitting in the pavilion, but only saw the graceful figures of the people in the pavilion, vaguely The appointment, but it made people feel prying. Unsurprisingly, Yun Chang saw the amazement in their eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

The name of our small banquet today is Anxianglai. Yunshang said softly, and then walked into the pavilion, Qin Yi opened the beaded curtain, Yunshang walked in, sat behind the table, Through the bead curtain, he looked at the women who were sizing up secretly and said: Ladies, please sit down.

Only then did everyone come to their senses, each found a seat and sat in.

Yun Shang smiled and said: The place in this pavilion is not big, and there are too many people, which will affect the fragrance. Ladies and gentlemen, you have to wait outside the pavilion for a while.

Yun Shang asked Qin Yi to take the maids to the outside of the pavilion, and then said again: I am a more casual person, so please don't be polite, I just want to hold this banquet today, just want to share with everyone Let’s get close. Let’s talk about the content of today’s small banquet. When the fragrance comes, it’s to appreciate and try the fragrance.”

As Yun Shang said, the fragrance in the pavilion changed a little bit, and it was a little bit more sweet.

Thinking about it, everyone is an elegant person. This incense is very familiar. The incense we usually use is mostly styrax, benzoin, agarwood, sandalwood, fennel, woody incense, lilac, jasmine, and Canaanite. Xiang and so on. Today I want everyone to show off, most of which we don't use very much. Yun Shang said at the end, her voice turned up slightly, with a bit of confusing taste.

We don't use these incenses often, but occasionally, they can bring you unexpected surprises. Yun Shang chuckled. \u003c
