The concubine of Germany is as beautiful as a god [Qing wear]
Chapter 96 Sachet
On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, classes were suspended for a day, and my brothers were unhappy instead.
When classes are suspended, you can only play by yourself. How can it be fun to play with everyone?
Especially the youngest eighth brother, clamoring to go to the Yonghe Palace to find the fourth and sixth brothers, which made the imperial concubine very angry.
"I have raised you for so long, but you still remember your fourth and sixth brothers." The imperial concubine complained, seeing that the eighth elder brother seemed to be frightened, she softened her voice again. "Give this to your fourth brother and sixth brother tomorrow, you know? Good things should be shared with everyone."
She hung a small sachet around the eighth elder brother's neck, and the eighth elder brother couldn't help sniffing.
"Fragrant... Fragrant..."
"That's right, this is a sachet, and it will keep smelling good when you wear it. This is what Er Niang specially prepared for you. You must share it with your fourth and sixth brothers, understand?" The imperial concubine touched him with a smile The eighth elder brother nodded happily.
So as soon as he arrived at Yonghe Palace the next day, Eighth Prince attracted everyone's attention, because he smelled so good.The aroma is not strong, but it always lingers on the nose, which is very pleasant.
After taking a few more breaths, I just feel refreshed and even mentally improved.
"Eighth brother smells so good." The fifth elder brother's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "I also smelled it in the Palace of Compassion and Peace. The emperor's great-grandmother likes this kind of fragrance."
"Fifth Brother, what kind of incense is this?" Sixth Brother asked curiously.
"Sandalwood... No, no, let me think about it." The fifth elder brother scratched his head, and suddenly a light bulb lit up on his head: "I see, this is Chenxiang."
"Agarwood? I heard from Er Niang." The fourth elder brother's eyes lit up: "Er Niang said that agarwood is very rare and rare. I didn't expect my eighth brother to have it."
The elder brothers all showed envy, staring at the sachet on the eighth elder brother's neck for a moment.
The eighth elder brother remembered the imperial concubine's words, so he took off the sachet for everyone to play with.
In the hall, Ma Guan and others naturally also smelled that fragrance, and there are many people who know the goods.
Concubine Hui exclaimed, "Is this sachet filled with agarwood? I've seen it before at the Empress Dowager's place. The Empress Dowager likes to light this in the incense burner. I didn't expect the imperial concubine to be so willing to make it into a sachet. Brother Eight is wearing it."
"It's really agarwood? That's really surprising." Concubine Yi looked envious, and she didn't know where the imperial concubine's agarwood came from. Not even their favored concubines had this thing.
"I heard that agarwood can promote qi and relieve pain, regulate qi and clear the mind, and it can also prevent mosquitoes. The breath is natural and very precious. The noble concubine is willing to give it to the eighth elder brother. She must love the eighth elder brother very much." Ma Guan was also a little surprised. According to nobleman Wei In other words, the imperial concubine probably didn't take the eighth prince seriously.
Naturally, she had smelled this agarwood before, after all, she had served the Empress Dowager many times when she worked in the Compassionate Ning Palace for more than a year.
Almost all the aloes in the palace are with the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. Could it be that these two gave some to the noble concubine?
The three of them couldn't figure it out, but they just saw Eighth Prince's wet nurse standing outside the door, so they called them in.
The wet nurse replied: "I don't know about it either, it seems that it was brought in from outside the palace for the imperial concubine."
The three suddenly realized that the imperial concubine's natal family was very powerful, and it was not surprising to get some agarwood.
On the second day, when the eighth elder brother came to the Yonghe Palace again, he hung more sachets around his neck.Everyone thought that the imperial concubine was using this to show off, but it was unexpected that the eighth elder brother gave the sachet to the four elder brothers.
The nurse said with a smile: "The imperial concubine heard that the young masters also like agarwood, so she made a few more sachets and asked the eighth elder brother to give them to everyone. I hope the elder brothers like it."
"Really give it to us?" Sixth elder brother touched the sachet carefully, unable to put it down.
"Yes, the imperial concubine often teaches the eighth elder brother that if you have good things, you should share them together." The wet nurse replied respectfully.
"The imperial concubine is really a good person." Sixth elder brother happily praised, with two small hands around his head, he put the sachet around his neck. "Look, fourth brother, I also have a sachet."
"You messed up your hair, I'll fix it for you." The fourth elder brother walked behind him, pulled out the whip, and gently smoothed the sixth elder brother's hair with his small hands.
He put on the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother one by one, and finally put on his own.
"Now we are all fragrant." The sixth elder brother held the sachet and sniffed vigorously, and let out a breath of intoxication after sniffing.
Everyone also imitated his appearance to sniff, like a group of old smokers smoking opium.
Only the fourth elder brother was more calm, and put the sachet into his clothes.
Seeing their performance, Ma Guan and the others were all grinning from ear to ear. The morning lectures seemed to be their source of happiness for the day.
"Why is the imperial concubine so generous this time? Chen Xiang will give it away as soon as she wants to give it away. She clearly looked down on teaching before." Concubine Hui showed suspicion. The arrogance of the position has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Perhaps you want Brother Fifth to take Chen Xiang back and let the Empress Dowager know?" Concubine Yi stared at her son, guessing casually.
"It's also possible." Ma Guan nodded in agreement, maybe after the fifth elder brother returned, the imperial concubine would come to offer agarwood to show her filial piety.
After the lecture, everyone left one after another, while the fourth elder brother and sixth elder brother ran to Ma Guan, showing off the newly obtained sachet.
"Emiang, son, give this to you. I heard it's good for your health." The fourth elder brother was very filial, took off the sachet and stuffed it into Ma Guan's hand.
The sixth elder brother looked at the Ma Guan, then at his own sachet, and took it off as soon as he gritted his teeth.
"Emiang, I'll give you my son's too."
Ma Guan smiled, and a warm current flowed from the bottom of his heart: "Emiang, can you still compete with you? Since the eighth elder brother gave it to you two brothers, you can wear it yourself to play."
She looked at the two sachets, the workmanship was fairly exquisite, but compared to the value of agarwood, it was nothing.
Smelling the scent of agarwood, her mind became clearer. This thing is indeed very good, but the fragrance is a bit impure.
"Sixth brother can just keep it for himself. The son is already an adult. Er Niang, you can accept it." The fourth elder brother said in a sensible tone, and patted himself on the chest, proving that he is a man.
"Don't say you are four years old, even if you are 40 years old, you are still Erniang's son." Ma Guan smiled and touched the head of the fourth elder brother. She was very pleased that the two little guys were so sensible.
"But……"
"Okay, Er Niang knows what you mean. You love Er Niang, and Er Niang loves you too." Ma Guan said, and put the sachet on the necks of the two of them again.
She bowed down, the closer she was to the sachet, the stronger the breath she could smell.
At this moment, she frowned slightly, she was sure it was not an illusion, the breath of this aloe was really impure.Is it a fake and shoddy product?Or, are there other spices added to the sachet?
It's not that she is too suspicious, it's because she has experienced too much and has to guard against it.What's more, she is pregnant now, so she must be careful, and the things are from the hands of the noble concubine.
"Emiang, what's the matter with you?" The fourth elder brother observed carefully, and immediately discovered that something was wrong with Ma Guan.
"Er Niang is fine, let Er Niang take a look at your sachet, and Er Niang will return it to you in a while." She blushed, she just said she didn't want the sachet, but now she wants it again, Yinzhen must have thought her Duplicity.
"It's said to be given to Er Niang, Er Niang, you can take a look at it, you don't need to return it to your son." The fourth elder brother did not hesitate at all, and took off the sachet and stuffed it into Ma Quan's hand, Ma Quan was even more embarrassed.
After the two little guys ran away, Ma Guan asked for scissors and cut the sachet open.
To her surprise, there were indeed only small pieces of agarwood inside, and no other spices.
She picked up the agarwood and sniffed it carefully, suddenly she was startled, she knew what the impure fragrance was.
Musk!
This agarwood has probably been soaked in rich musk water, and the soaking time is not short, so that the smell of musk and agarwood are mixed together.After all, agarwood dominates, so it suppresses the aroma of musk to a great extent, making it difficult for people to distinguish it.
If she hadn't worked in the Compassion Ning Palace for so long and was familiar with Chen Xiang's breath, she might be deceived too.
Immediately, Ma Guan burst into anger, what a frenzied imperial concubine, actually used some ignorant elder brothers to harm her!
If she didn't know it all the time, she would have a miscarriage at that time, and she still doesn't know what happened.
She only felt that her hands and feet were icy cold, that she would be used by the imperial concubine for teaching this infant.What's even more frightening is that several young elder brothers have become pawns of the imperial concubine.
How innocent is the youngest?
No, this matter is not only intended to harm her, but also Concubine Xi, Dai Jiashi, and even nobleman Wei, Concubine Yi and other close contacts will suffer.
Long-term exposure to musk is likely to cause infertility!
It took her a full quarter of an hour to calm down, the imperial concubine really hit the bottom line this time.
No matter how much they fight in the past, they will never start with the child!
"Niang Niang, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with Chen Xiang?" Yuan He has been with her for several years, and seeing her look, she also guessed something.
"There is a problem." Ma Guan thought for a while, and finally came up with an idea.
She handed the sachet to Yuan He, and said: "Sew it on carefully, don't let others see it, and then give it to the fourth elder brother."
"Ah?" Yuan He didn't turn the corner. Since there was a problem, why did he give it to the fourth elder brother?But she has always been obedient, so she quickly replied: "Yes, I will sew it myself."
Ma Guan nodded, called Zhu Yun and Cai Wei, and went out to the Compassionate Ning Palace.
The Empress Dowager was listening to the maids reporting today's lessons, and when she saw Ma Guan coming, she deliberately put on a straight face: "You are heavy, why are you here again? What's so good about my old lady? The emperor is really, Ming Knowing that you are pregnant, I also let you take care of Aijia's birthday."
"Is the imperial grandmother not happy to see her granddaughter-in-law? It's really sad." Ma Guan wiped away her tears with an aggrieved expression on her face.
"Okay, you still pretend to be like Ai's family, and sit down." The Empress Dowager couldn't help laughing, looked at Ma Guan's slightly swollen abdomen, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this baby will be a princess."
"How did the imperial grandmother know?" Ma Guan was stunned. Based on the time, she guessed that the baby was probably a princess. How did the empress dowager know?
"The eyes of the Ai family are as bright as torches." The Empress Dowager laughed, and Ma Guan couldn't help laughing when she heard her bragging. "Tell me, what are you doing here today?"
Ma Guan then said seriously: "The granddaughter-in-law, sisters Huifei and Yifei have drawn up a birthday celebration list, and I want the emperor's grandmother to read it."
She winked at Zhu Yun, and Zhu Yun immediately presented it with both hands, and Lagu Su Ma took it over and presented it to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager glanced at it, and said displeasedly: "This is too expensive, let's simplify it."
"But the emperor won't allow it." Ma Guan blinked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"You monkey, do you want Aijia to reprimand the emperor?" The empress dowager also couldn't laugh or cry.
"How dare you? Grandmother, this is the emperor's filial piety, why not follow the emperor's words?"
"You have already decided for yourself, why do you still ask Aijia?" The Empress Dowager smiled and shook her head, but she was not really angry, after all, it was the emperor and concubines' wish.
"Agarwood is also smoked in your room?" She suddenly looked at Ma Quan, and the fragrance was coming from Ma Quan.
Ma Guan looked down at his clothes, and said doubtfully, "No, my daughter-in-law doesn't have such good things."
"That's strange, you clearly smell of agarwood... No, not only agarwood, but also another kind of fragrance, um, not pure enough." The empress dowager was very sure of her own judgment, and this skill was very exciting. vision.
Ma Guan was secretly proud, she knew that the fragrance could not be concealed from the Empress Dowager, after all, the other party had smelled the agarwood for many years, so she would definitely be able to smell something wrong.
"When the imperial grandmother said this, I thought of it. It was the eighth elder brother who gave the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother a small sachet. It is said that it contained agarwood. Maybe I stayed with them for a while before and got infected with it. .”
"Before Yuhe said that the eighth elder brother gave the fifth elder brother a sachet, it must be this." Aunt Su Ma suddenly realized and added.
"The imperial concubine is so generous, she actually made agarwood into a sachet and gave it to my brothers." The queen mother was surprised, and said after a while: "It's just that the agarwood is not of high quality, and it seems to be mixed with other things."
She sniffed again, frowned slightly, and ordered: "Su Mala, you bring the sachet of Brother Wu, the Ai family should have smelled this adulterated thing."
"Yes, master." Aunt Su Ma turned around and left.
But Ma Guan said in surprise: "Emperor Grandmother can even smell this?"
The Empress Dowager laughed and said: "Aijia has used agarwood for so many years, if you still can't smell it, it's really useless."
Not long after, Aunt Su Ma took out the small sachet, and the Empress Dowager held it in her hand and looked at it for a while, then sniffed it carefully, frowning more and more.
"This imperial concubine is really reckless. The fragrance of agarwood is already excellent, how can it be mixed with other fragrances? There is also a kind of fragrance in it, it should be musk, but the smell is not obvious."
"Ah!" Before the Empress Dowager finished speaking, Aunt Su Ma suddenly exclaimed, and suddenly looked at Ma Guan.
"Musk?" Ma Guan also uttered in surprise, his expression changed.
The Empress Dowager was startled, and finally realized it, her expression darkened suddenly, and she dropped the sachet on the ground.
"What a noble concubine! What exactly does she want to do?" The Empress Dowager was furious. She is someone who has been there before, so why is she not aware of Musk's danger?Especially for pregnant women.
"Get this thing off!" She stared at the sachet, out of breath.
If she hadn't seen through this thing and let the younger brother wear it for a long time, I don't know what would happen in the future!
Even if it doesn't affect the little elder brothers, it will definitely affect the concubines, especially the concubine De, who is still pregnant.
Agarwood has always been used only by her and the empress dowager, even if the concubines knew about it, they couldn't tell there was any problem with it.
The court ladies were silent, and Aunt Su Ma cut the sachet and held it in front of the Empress Dowager.The Empress Dowager poured out the things and found that there was indeed only Chen Xiang, her complexion became even uglier.
"Okay, in order to deceive people, this is soaking agarwood in musk water! If you say she has no malicious intentions, Aijia will definitely not believe it!"
With just one glance, the Empress Dowager wanted to understand the cause and effect. This position was much higher than Ma Guan's.
Ma Guan looked at the Empress Dowager admiringly, and she could only fight with the women in the harem. This old lady was a ruthless character who could fight with all the civil and military officials of the court.
"Concubine Chuan, come here! Invite some young elder brothers, and Concubine Hui." The Empress Dowager was really angry. She looked at Ma Guan, and said with a serious expression: "This harem is up to you and Concubine Hui." The concubine is in charge, even if the status of the noble concubine is higher than yours, you don't have to worry about it. The Ai family will support you today, and you can handle this matter yourself."
"Yes, Grandmother." Ma Guan suppressed her smile, exuding a fierce aura from her whole body.
Although this is a bit different from what she imagined, but the same goal by different routes, the imperial concubine is going to be in trouble!
She originally thought that after the empress dowager saw through the trick, she would personally clean up the imperial concubine, but she did not expect that the empress dowager would give her and Concubine Hui the power.
In the past, when the imperial concubine made mistakes, the emperor personally dealt with them, and she and Concubine Hui were only responsible for investigating and collecting evidence.
This time, he can finally handle it by himself, so that he has the appearance of being in charge of the harem.
The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction when she saw that she had no fear or excuses.This appearance is somewhat of her demeanor back then.
The summoned people arrived one after another, the fifth elder brother arrived first, with a confused look on his face; the fourth and sixth elder brothers were brought by Yuan He; the seventh elder brother was sent by Xi Concubine, and Dai Jia did not show up.
Then there was Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui was suddenly summoned, her heart tightened, she thought she had done something to dissatisfy the Empress Dowager.After entering the door and seeing so many people coming, he became more and more puzzled and winked at Ma Guan from time to time.
Ma Guan cast a reassuring look, and it wasn't until the imperial concubine also came that Concubine Hui felt relieved.
"It's all here. Concubine De, Concubine Hui, I'll leave this matter to you." The Empress Dowager glanced coldly at the concubine, who had just greeted the concubine obediently and warmly. cold.
"Sister Defei, what's going on?" Concubine Hui was sure she didn't do anything wrong, so she didn't feel so nervous.
"Sister Huifei, it's because of this." Ma Guan picked up the cut sachet and put it in Huifei's hand.
The noble concubine's eyelids twitched suddenly, sachet!Was it discovered?Impossible, this sachet is only filled with agarwood, but there is no shadow of musk at all.
Thinking of the empress dowager's cold look again, a chill suddenly shot up her spine.
Could it be that the Empress Dowager discovered it?The empress dowager has used agarwood for so many years, maybe she really smelled something wrong.
Thinking of this, she was nervous and regretted, how could she miss this one?
In fact, it's not her fault, who can distinguish such a subtle breath?What's more, it can be seen accurately that it is Musk.
"Sachet? What's wrong with this?" Concubine Hui didn't know what the concubine was thinking. She took the sachet and looked left and right, but she didn't see anything wrong.
Heartbroken, Xi Concubine also took the sachet from Brother Seven's neck, but she didn't see any problem.
"Although this sachet is filled with agarwood, the smell of agarwood is not pure, it smells like musk. The imperial grandmother guessed that the agarwood has been soaked in musk water." Ma Guan didn't make any secrets, and said straight to the point.
"Ah! Musk?" Concubine Hui's expression changed drastically, and Concubine Xi was also shocked, and almost threw the sachet on the ground.
The imperial concubine's heart sank to the bottom, and the empress dowager really saw it!
"We don't have much contact with agarwood, so we can't tell the difference, but the Empress Dowager uses it all year round, but she can smell any impurity. There is indeed a musky smell in this agarwood." Ma Guan stared at the imperial concubine with burning eyes, and asked Said: "Imperial concubine, don't you want to explain?"
"Concubine De, what do you mean? Do you think I have tampered with it?" Being scolded by Ma Yuan like this, the imperial concubine was so angry that she was a noble concubine!
Back then, when this Wu Yashi was still a palace maid, she knelt down without daring to say a word, but now she dares to talk to her like this.
Ma Guan raised his chin slightly, and said with a sneer, "This sachet was sent by the imperial concubine, not by the imperial concubine, could it be the eighth elder brother? Or are you questioning the judgment of the imperial grandmother?"
"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" The imperial concubine was anxious and angry, seeing that the empress dowager was glaring at her again.
"Then I would like to ask the imperial concubine to explain why this agarwood was soaked in musk perfume? Doesn't the imperial concubine know the dangers of musk?" Ma Guan pressed on step by step, and his expression became colder and colder.
Concubine Hui also came back to her senses at this time, and couldn't help but burn with anger.But because this is the Palace of Compassion and Peace, the Empress Dowager was still staring at her, so she didn't dare to show off like Ma Yuan.
"Young concubine, please explain carefully."
"Explain what? I don't even know what kind of musk is in this agarwood. I made a sachet with good intentions and gave it to a few young brothers to wear. You don't appreciate it, but think that I am doing harm. Concubine De, I know that you have been dissatisfied with me for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be so insidious that you would use the sachet to talk about it."
The imperial concubine sneered, as if she really didn't know, but there was a trace of cold sweat on her forehead.
"Your imperial concubine, don't be angry, my sister is just making a routine inquiry. Since the empress said she didn't know, there must be something wrong with the person who gave the agarwood to the empress. Empress, why not tell me the name of this person?" Ma Guan raised the corners of her lips playfully. Said: "To be able to send such a precious thing to the empress, I must have an unusual relationship with the empress, not an ordinary person?"
The imperial concubine's eyes changed slightly, she didn't expect that she dug a hole for herself.
Both the agarwood and musk were sent by the family, once she told about this, the family would definitely suffer.But if she doesn't say it, she can only bear it by herself.
Such a valuable thing cannot be casually pointed at an individual, and at that time it will be crowned with the crime of adultery with foreign ministers.
She gritted her teeth secretly, but she didn't think of a reasonable explanation for a long time. In the eyes of everyone, how could she not understand?
"Concubine, do you still want to deliberately fabricate lies? Now that there are all witnesses and evidences, you still don't tell the truth!" Ma Guan suddenly yelled loudly, and everyone was shocked, as if they had never seen such a majestic side of her.
The noble concubine was also shaken, almost exclaimed, and stared at Ma Guan in disbelief.
"How dare you talk to me like this..."
"The emperor asked me to take care of the harem with my concubine Hui. I can naturally handle what happened in the harem." Ma Guan and Concubine Hui looked at each other and said solemnly: "Concubine Hui, if you don't tell the truth, I can only use it against you." Punishment!"
The author has something to say: I haven’t seen the imperial concubine being beaten, right? →_→
Thanks to the pro who cast the rocket: you moved one of my milk teas.
Bazooka!incredible!Thank you dear (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭~
When classes are suspended, you can only play by yourself. How can it be fun to play with everyone?
Especially the youngest eighth brother, clamoring to go to the Yonghe Palace to find the fourth and sixth brothers, which made the imperial concubine very angry.
"I have raised you for so long, but you still remember your fourth and sixth brothers." The imperial concubine complained, seeing that the eighth elder brother seemed to be frightened, she softened her voice again. "Give this to your fourth brother and sixth brother tomorrow, you know?

"Eighth brother smells so good." The fifth elder brother's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "I also smelled it in the Palace of Compassion and Peace. The emperor's great-grandmother likes this kind of fragrance."
"Fifth Brother, what kind of incense is this?" Sixth Brother asked curiously.
"Sandalwood... No, no, let me think about it." The fifth elder brother scratched his head, and suddenly a light bulb lit up on his head: "I see, this is Chenxiang."
"Agarwood? I heard from Er Niang." The fourth elder brother's eyes lit up: "Er Niang said that agarwood is very rare and rare. I didn't expect my eighth brother to have it."
The elder brothers all showed envy, staring at the sachet on the eighth elder brother's neck for a moment.

"It's said to be given to Er Niang, Er Niang, you can take a look at it, you don't need to return it to your son." The fourth elder brother did not hesitate at all, and took off the sachet and stuffed it into Ma Quan's hand, Ma Quan was even more embarrassed.
After the two little guys ran away, Ma Guan asked for scissors and cut the sachet open.
To her surprise, there were indeed only small pieces of agarwood inside, and no other spices.
She picked up the agarwood and sniffed it carefully, suddenly she was startled, she knew what the impure fragrance was.
Musk!
This agarwood has probably been soaked in rich musk water, and the soaking time is not short, so that the smell of musk and agarwood are mixed together.After all, agarwood dominates, so it suppresses the aroma of musk to a great extent, making it difficult for people to distinguish it.
If she hadn't worked in the Compassion Ning Palace for so long and was familiar with Chen Xiang's breath, she might be deceived too.
Immediately, Ma Guan burst into anger, what a frenzied imperial concubine, actually used some ignorant elder brothers to harm her!
If she didn't know it all the time, she would have a miscarriage at that time, and she still doesn't know what happened.
She only felt that her hands and feet were icy cold, that she would be used by the imperial concubine for teaching this infant.What's even more frightening is that several young elder brothers have become pawns of the imperial concubine.
How innocent is the youngest?
No, this matter is not only intended to harm her, but also Concubine Xi, Dai Jiashi, and even nobleman Wei, Concubine Yi and other close contacts will suffer.
Long-term exposure to musk is likely to cause infertility!
It took her a full quarter of an hour to calm down, the imperial concubine really hit the bottom line this time.
No matter how much they fight in the past, they will never start with the child!
"Niang Niang, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with Chen Xiang?" Yuan He has been with her for several years, and seeing her look, she also guessed something.
"There is a problem." Ma Guan thought for a while, and finally came up with an idea.
She handed the sachet to Yuan He, and said: "Sew it on carefully, don't let others see it, and then give it to the fourth elder brother."
"Ah?" Yuan He didn't turn the corner. Since there was a problem, why did he give it to the fourth elder brother?But she has always been obedient, so she quickly replied: "Yes, I will sew it myself."
Ma Guan nodded, called Zhu Yun and Cai Wei, and went out to the Compassionate Ning Palace.
The Empress Dowager was listening to the maids reporting today's lessons, and when she saw Ma Guan coming, she deliberately put on a straight face: "You are heavy, why are you here again? What's so good about my old lady? The emperor is really, Ming Knowing that you are pregnant, I also let you take care of Aijia's birthday."
"Is the imperial grandmother not happy to see her granddaughter-in-law? It's really sad." Ma Guan wiped away her tears with an aggrieved expression on her face.
"Okay, you still pretend to be like Ai's family, and sit down." The Empress Dowager couldn't help laughing, looked at Ma Guan's slightly swollen abdomen, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this baby will be a princess."
"How did the imperial grandmother know?" Ma Guan was stunned. Based on the time, she guessed that the baby was probably a princess. How did the empress dowager know?
"The eyes of the Ai family are as bright as torches." The Empress Dowager laughed, and Ma Guan couldn't help laughing when she heard her bragging. "Tell me, what are you doing here today?"
Ma Guan then said seriously: "The granddaughter-in-law, sisters Huifei and Yifei have drawn up a birthday celebration list, and I want the emperor's grandmother to read it."
She winked at Zhu Yun, and Zhu Yun immediately presented it with both hands, and Lagu Su Ma took it over and presented it to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager glanced at it, and said displeasedly: "This is too expensive, let's simplify it."
"But the emperor won't allow it." Ma Guan blinked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"You monkey, do you want Aijia to reprimand the emperor?" The empress dowager also couldn't laugh or cry.
"How dare you? Grandmother, this is the emperor's filial piety, why not follow the emperor's words?"
"You have already decided for yourself, why do you still ask Aijia?" The Empress Dowager smiled and shook her head, but she was not really angry, after all, it was the emperor and concubines' wish.
"Agarwood is also smoked in your room?" She suddenly looked at Ma Quan, and the fragrance was coming from Ma Quan.
Ma Guan looked down at his clothes, and said doubtfully, "No, my daughter-in-law doesn't have such good things."
"That's strange, you clearly smell of agarwood... No, not only agarwood, but also another kind of fragrance, um, not pure enough." The empress dowager was very sure of her own judgment, and this skill was very exciting. vision.
Ma Guan was secretly proud, she knew that the fragrance could not be concealed from the Empress Dowager, after all, the other party had smelled the agarwood for many years, so she would definitely be able to smell something wrong.
"When the imperial grandmother said this, I thought of it. It was the eighth elder brother who gave the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother a small sachet. It is said that it contained agarwood. Maybe I stayed with them for a while before and got infected with it. .”
"Before Yuhe said that the eighth elder brother gave the fifth elder brother a sachet, it must be this." Aunt Su Ma suddenly realized and added.
"The imperial concubine is so generous, she actually made agarwood into a sachet and gave it to my brothers." The queen mother was surprised, and said after a while: "It's just that the agarwood is not of high quality, and it seems to be mixed with other things."
She sniffed again, frowned slightly, and ordered: "Su Mala, you bring the sachet of Brother Wu, the Ai family should have smelled this adulterated thing."
"Yes, master." Aunt Su Ma turned around and left.
But Ma Guan said in surprise: "Emperor Grandmother can even smell this?"
The Empress Dowager laughed and said: "Aijia has used agarwood for so many years, if you still can't smell it, it's really useless."
Not long after, Aunt Su Ma took out the small sachet, and the Empress Dowager held it in her hand and looked at it for a while, then sniffed it carefully, frowning more and more.
"This imperial concubine is really reckless. The fragrance of agarwood is already excellent, how can it be mixed with other fragrances? There is also a kind of fragrance in it, it should be musk, but the smell is not obvious."
"Ah!" Before the Empress Dowager finished speaking, Aunt Su Ma suddenly exclaimed, and suddenly looked at Ma Guan.
"Musk?" Ma Guan also uttered in surprise, his expression changed.
The Empress Dowager was startled, and finally realized it, her expression darkened suddenly, and she dropped the sachet on the ground.
"What a noble concubine! What exactly does she want to do?" The Empress Dowager was furious. She is someone who has been there before, so why is she not aware of Musk's danger?Especially for pregnant women.
"Get this thing off!" She stared at the sachet, out of breath.
If she hadn't seen through this thing and let the younger brother wear it for a long time, I don't know what would happen in the future!
Even if it doesn't affect the little elder brothers, it will definitely affect the concubines, especially the concubine De, who is still pregnant.
Agarwood has always been used only by her and the empress dowager, even if the concubines knew about it, they couldn't tell there was any problem with it.
The court ladies were silent, and Aunt Su Ma cut the sachet and held it in front of the Empress Dowager.The Empress Dowager poured out the things and found that there was indeed only Chen Xiang, her complexion became even uglier.
"Okay, in order to deceive people, this is soaking agarwood in musk water! If you say she has no malicious intentions, Aijia will definitely not believe it!"
With just one glance, the Empress Dowager wanted to understand the cause and effect. This position was much higher than Ma Guan's.
Ma Guan looked at the Empress Dowager admiringly, and she could only fight with the women in the harem. This old lady was a ruthless character who could fight with all the civil and military officials of the court.
"Concubine Chuan, come here! Invite some young elder brothers, and Concubine Hui." The Empress Dowager was really angry. She looked at Ma Guan, and said with a serious expression: "This harem is up to you and Concubine Hui." The concubine is in charge, even if the status of the noble concubine is higher than yours, you don't have to worry about it. The Ai family will support you today, and you can handle this matter yourself."
"Yes, Grandmother." Ma Guan suppressed her smile, exuding a fierce aura from her whole body.
Although this is a bit different from what she imagined, but the same goal by different routes, the imperial concubine is going to be in trouble!
She originally thought that after the empress dowager saw through the trick, she would personally clean up the imperial concubine, but she did not expect that the empress dowager would give her and Concubine Hui the power.
In the past, when the imperial concubine made mistakes, the emperor personally dealt with them, and she and Concubine Hui were only responsible for investigating and collecting evidence.
This time, he can finally handle it by himself, so that he has the appearance of being in charge of the harem.
The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction when she saw that she had no fear or excuses.This appearance is somewhat of her demeanor back then.
The summoned people arrived one after another, the fifth elder brother arrived first, with a confused look on his face; the fourth and sixth elder brothers were brought by Yuan He; the seventh elder brother was sent by Xi Concubine, and Dai Jia did not show up.
Then there was Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui was suddenly summoned, her heart tightened, she thought she had done something to dissatisfy the Empress Dowager.After entering the door and seeing so many people coming, he became more and more puzzled and winked at Ma Guan from time to time.
Ma Guan cast a reassuring look, and it wasn't until the imperial concubine also came that Concubine Hui felt relieved.
"It's all here. Concubine De, Concubine Hui, I'll leave this matter to you." The Empress Dowager glanced coldly at the concubine, who had just greeted the concubine obediently and warmly. cold.
"Sister Defei, what's going on?" Concubine Hui was sure she didn't do anything wrong, so she didn't feel so nervous.
"Sister Huifei, it's because of this." Ma Guan picked up the cut sachet and put it in Huifei's hand.
The noble concubine's eyelids twitched suddenly, sachet!Was it discovered?Impossible, this sachet is only filled with agarwood, but there is no shadow of musk at all.
Thinking of the empress dowager's cold look again, a chill suddenly shot up her spine.
Could it be that the Empress Dowager discovered it?The empress dowager has used agarwood for so many years, maybe she really smelled something wrong.
Thinking of this, she was nervous and regretted, how could she miss this one?
In fact, it's not her fault, who can distinguish such a subtle breath?What's more, it can be seen accurately that it is Musk.
"Sachet? What's wrong with this?" Concubine Hui didn't know what the concubine was thinking. She took the sachet and looked left and right, but she didn't see anything wrong.
Heartbroken, Xi Concubine also took the sachet from Brother Seven's neck, but she didn't see any problem.
"Although this sachet is filled with agarwood, the smell of agarwood is not pure, it smells like musk. The imperial grandmother guessed that the agarwood has been soaked in musk water." Ma Guan didn't make any secrets, and said straight to the point.
"Ah! Musk?" Concubine Hui's expression changed drastically, and Concubine Xi was also shocked, and almost threw the sachet on the ground.
The imperial concubine's heart sank to the bottom, and the empress dowager really saw it!
"We don't have much contact with agarwood, so we can't tell the difference, but the Empress Dowager uses it all year round, but she can smell any impurity. There is indeed a musky smell in this agarwood." Ma Guan stared at the imperial concubine with burning eyes, and asked Said: "Imperial concubine, don't you want to explain?"
"Concubine De, what do you mean? Do you think I have tampered with it?" Being scolded by Ma Yuan like this, the imperial concubine was so angry that she was a noble concubine!
Back then, when this Wu Yashi was still a palace maid, she knelt down without daring to say a word, but now she dares to talk to her like this.
Ma Guan raised his chin slightly, and said with a sneer, "This sachet was sent by the imperial concubine, not by the imperial concubine, could it be the eighth elder brother? Or are you questioning the judgment of the imperial grandmother?"
"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" The imperial concubine was anxious and angry, seeing that the empress dowager was glaring at her again.
"Then I would like to ask the imperial concubine to explain why this agarwood was soaked in musk perfume? Doesn't the imperial concubine know the dangers of musk?" Ma Guan pressed on step by step, and his expression became colder and colder.
Concubine Hui also came back to her senses at this time, and couldn't help but burn with anger.But because this is the Palace of Compassion and Peace, the Empress Dowager was still staring at her, so she didn't dare to show off like Ma Yuan.
"Young concubine, please explain carefully."
"Explain what? I don't even know what kind of musk is in this agarwood. I made a sachet with good intentions and gave it to a few young brothers to wear. You don't appreciate it, but think that I am doing harm. Concubine De, I know that you have been dissatisfied with me for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be so insidious that you would use the sachet to talk about it."
The imperial concubine sneered, as if she really didn't know, but there was a trace of cold sweat on her forehead.
"Your imperial concubine, don't be angry, my sister is just making a routine inquiry. Since the empress said she didn't know, there must be something wrong with the person who gave the agarwood to the empress. Empress, why not tell me the name of this person?" Ma Guan raised the corners of her lips playfully. Said: "To be able to send such a precious thing to the empress, I must have an unusual relationship with the empress, not an ordinary person?"
The imperial concubine's eyes changed slightly, she didn't expect that she dug a hole for herself.
Both the agarwood and musk were sent by the family, once she told about this, the family would definitely suffer.But if she doesn't say it, she can only bear it by herself.
Such a valuable thing cannot be casually pointed at an individual, and at that time it will be crowned with the crime of adultery with foreign ministers.
She gritted her teeth secretly, but she didn't think of a reasonable explanation for a long time. In the eyes of everyone, how could she not understand?
"Concubine, do you still want to deliberately fabricate lies? Now that there are all witnesses and evidences, you still don't tell the truth!" Ma Guan suddenly yelled loudly, and everyone was shocked, as if they had never seen such a majestic side of her.
The noble concubine was also shaken, almost exclaimed, and stared at Ma Guan in disbelief.
"How dare you talk to me like this..."
"The emperor asked me to take care of the harem with my concubine Hui. I can naturally handle what happened in the harem." Ma Guan and Concubine Hui looked at each other and said solemnly: "Concubine Hui, if you don't tell the truth, I can only use it against you." Punishment!"
The author has something to say: I haven’t seen the imperial concubine being beaten, right? →_→
Thanks to the pro who cast the rocket: you moved one of my milk teas.
