Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

There is a garden in Fengyi Palace.

Today, it's a bit lively here.

Empress Changsun invited all the dukes and wives to come here for a visit.

Empress Changsun and the wives of the dukes were actually very familiar with each other.

When Li Shimin had not yet entered the hall, they usually played together.

Having said that, we have been through a lot of ups and downs together.

Li Shimin and other dukes were fighting outside, and almost all of their wives and children were left in Chang'an.

Whenever there was news of war from the front, they would gather together, burn incense and pray, and worry about Li Shimin and others.

Therefore, after Empress Changsun moved into the imperial city, she would still hang out with them from time to time.
"My lady, the peonies have been failing for quite some time, but the chrysanthemums are blooming beautifully."

"However, no matter how you look at it, the chrysanthemum is still not as beautiful as the peony, especially the fragrance. The peony is the real deal!!"

Mrs. Cheng felt a little emotional.

The status of peony is unshakable in the hearts of every citizen in the Tang Dynasty.

Not only is it grand and bright, but its taste is also deeply loved by the people.

There is absolutely no comparison, it can be said to be unique! !
Mrs. Wei also nodded.

"Who says it's not true? These autumn flowers are all a little less interesting."

"These crabapples are a bit boring. Your Majesty, I wonder if there are any good bouquets in the palace recently."

Mrs. Wei asked with a smile.

Empress Changsun prepared tea for them personally.

Listening to a few people sighing, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile.

"There are no new bouquets in the palace. All of these flowers are gifts from God. It's not easy to have so many of them."

Empress Changsun said.

Madam Wei, Madam Cheng, Madam Du and the others thought about it and nodded repeatedly.

It does!

Whether there will be new flowers or not really depends on God’s will.

If they don't give it to them, there is nothing they can do.

"Why……."

"In the past, I could smell the fragrance of ripening crops in the fall, but this year, unfortunately, I can't smell any fragrance at all."

"On weekdays, I really can only survive on sachets."

Mrs. Du gently shook the sachet on her body.

"This sachet...is it from the spice shop at the top of the city?" Mrs. Wei's eyes tightened, she looked over, and even sniffed greedily with her nose.

"I've heard that the spice shop is very popular in the city. Those sachets are really good. No wonder all the girls in the city are attracted to it."

"This spice shop has become very wealthy."

Mrs. Cheng smiled and said, "I also bought a few a few days ago. Look, this sachet of mine is scented with peony."

Mrs. Cheng also took off the sachet from her waist and placed it on the table.

"Peony scent? Wow, Sister Cheng, how did you buy it? When I went to buy it, the peony scented sachets were all sold out."

Mrs. Qin held the sachet in her hand in surprise and said with great joy,

"Who said it wasn't? The peony scent is the most popular among sachets." Mrs. Cheng nodded.

Empress Changsun looked at the people gathered together discussing the sachet, reached out her hand, and gently took the peony sachet.

"Your Majesty, do you know any sachets made in the palace?" Madam Wei asked hurriedly.

Every year, there are people in the palace who specialize in making sachets.

The craftsmanship and technology are much better than those outside.

Every year Empress Changsun would give them some.

Empress Changsun smiled.

"This year, I threw away all those sachets." Empress Chang Sun said with a smile.

"Ah? Lost? Madam, why?"

"My queen, even if this year's sachet has some flaws, it can't be wasted like this."

"That's right, Madam, we are all family, please don't be so formal. I don't know where you are."

"My lady, is it really lost? This..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Wei and the others all gathered around, their faces filled with pity and regret.

To be honest, the craftsmanship in the palace, such as sachets, is much better than those outside.

Even if there are some flaws, it is definitely far superior to the spice shops outside.

What a pity.

Empress Changsun looked at their distressed expressions and shook her head.

"No, those sachets are a thing of the past. This year, we have better replacements in the palace."

Empress Chang Sun said with a smile.

Substitute?!

The ladies were bewildered.

A replacement for the sachet? How could this sachet be replaced?!
Empress Changsun looked at their unfortunate appearances, waved her hand, and ordered the palace maids to come up.

Porcelain bottles were placed on the table.

Mrs. Wei and the others were all at a loss.

what is this?
bottle?

Do I have to carry the bottle with me when I go out in the future?

hiss…….
They were really confused. What is this? How can it be replaced? No matter how you look at it, the sachet is better than these bottles.

"What is this?" Mrs. Cheng asked puzzledly.

Empress Changsun fiddled with the porcelain bottles gently, put them all away, and said with a smile, "Perfume."

perfume.

What is this? .
Mrs. Cheng and the others were even more confused.

"Perfume? This... Madam, how do you use this? Oh, please show us how to use it, Madam. I'm itching to do it."

Mrs. Cheng was anxious.

Empress Changsun smiled gently.

She didn't keep anyone in suspense and opened a bottle directly.

Then, in an instant, a fragrance filled the surrounding area.
And what a coincidence, the fragrance in the bottle is that of peony.

In an instant, everyone's eyes seemed to pop out of their heads.

this…….
They were completely confused.

Just smelling the fragrance lingering around, I felt a little overwhelmed.

what happened?

Why does it suddenly smell so good?
It feels like being in a sea of ​​peony flowers, making people linger.

And this smell... is too pure and too authentic. They feel their whole bodies are numb and they are intoxicated by it and don’t want to wake up.

Empress Changsun looked at them and smiled.

"How does it taste?"

she said softly.

"Oh My God!!!"

"It's amazing, huh... Madam, this smell... is it coming from this bottle? Unbelievable!!"

Mrs. Du stared at the small porcelain bottle with a horrified look on her face.

When had she ever seen anything like this?

When had she ever smelled such a pure fragrance?

To put it bluntly, this smell can completely crush all other sachets.

No matter what kind of sachet it was, it had no power to fight back in front of this porcelain bottle. Moreover, Mrs. Du suddenly felt that as long as there was perfume, a spice shop could be completely suppressed.

That's right!

The scent of the entire spice shop is not as overbearing as this perfume! !

Not only her, but other dukes' wives were also stunned.

The sachet in my hand instantly lost its flavor, and the only thing in my eyes was the perfume.

"Yes, Madam, how is this perfume made? Do you have any more? I am willing to sell it to you, tell me how much?"

"My lady, my dear sisters, please give us some, otherwise how can we live in the future?" "Oh my god, this taste, I swear, nothing can compare to it, not even a blooming peony!!"

"No, no, I can't even walk anymore. This smell... My body is numb. Madam, if you don't give me some, I won't be able to move."

"......."

The eyes of these dukes' wives turned red at the scene.

As long as you are a woman, you will have no resistance to perfume.

Staring at these perfumes intently.

His eyes were blank.

It means something is cracked.

“Hehehe…”

Empress Changsun gently closed the porcelain bottle and opened another one.

Suddenly, the fragrance of osmanthus rose to the sky.

Not inferior to peony at all.

It is also fresh and sweet, which makes people extremely intoxicated, and is completely different from the scent of peony.

"I want to buy this perfume, but there is nowhere to buy it. I got all of this from Prince Chu's Palace."

"It was all invented by the great talent Mr. Qin himself. It is unique in the world."

Empress Chang Sun said with a smile.

Master Qin?
"Qin Wenyuan"?
unique?

hiss…….
When the dukes and wives heard this, they became angry again.

What woman doesn’t like unique things?

"My lady, Master Qin is not young anymore, right? My daughter from the Du family, Du Ruyan, is about the same age as Princess Changle, and only one or two years older than Master Qin."

"How about...betrothing Ruyan to Master Qin, what do you think?"

Immediately, Mrs. Du said directly.

"My lady, my girl is not very old. If you calculate carefully, she is actually the same age as Mr. Qin, but a little older in age."

Hong Fu, who was usually taciturn, could no longer sit still and said, "Master Qin and Wan'er are a perfect match."

Madam Qin swallowed her saliva, her voice trembling as she hurriedly said, "Madam, the one in my family is one year younger than Young Master Qin. Although she is still a little young now, she can marry Young Master Qin in two or three years. After all, Young Master Qin is not too old either, so when the time comes for them to get married, it will be just right. There will be no delay, no delay..."

"......."

When these dukes' wives heard Qin Changye's name, they could no longer sit still.

The name of Qin Changye!
In the entire Chang'an City, who hasn't heard of it now?

Even Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Changsun, who didn't have daughters, started to introduce their nieces and nephews.

Extremely enthusiastic.

Even Empress Changsun was overwhelmed.

She had never expected this and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"This young master Qin's marriage....Your Majesty and I have discussed it before, but I don't know where he has gone now."

"To be honest, I don't dare to agree to it casually."

"Young Master Qin is different from other great talents. You all know this."

There was also a hint of helplessness in Empress Changsun's voice.

To be honest, these marriages are not bad.

She really wanted to agree.
However, she could no longer control "Qin Wenyuan".

She was sure that Master Qin's thoughts were definitely not on this.

Of course, the most important thing is that Qin Changye is not that great.

Let him choose for himself.

Qin Changye...
call…….
Empress Changsun really could not grasp his wisdom, his talent, and his ideas, and even no one in the world could grasp them.

When Empress Changsun finished speaking, Madam Du and the others were all stunned and nodded.

It is indeed like this.

"Yes, Mr. Qin...ah..."

"If I were a few decades younger, I would definitely be obsessed with Master Qin."

Mrs. Du sighed.

Empress Changsun: ...

"Mr. Qin, where have you been? Madam, when Mr. Qin comes back, I will definitely arrange for us to have a meal together."

Mrs. Du said quickly.

"That's for sure, but... I don't know when Master Qin will come. I really can't figure him out."

Empress Changsun nodded and said.

"Who said that Master Qin is too outstanding? I really don't know how His Highness researched these... treasures!"

“Huh….That’s great.”

Mrs. Du looked at the perfume, took a deep breath, and didn't know how to praise it.

For a moment, the garden was lost in thought.

The dukes and their wives were thinking in their minds.

But in the end, they all gave up hope.

I guess there is no other way.
.
…….………….
And just when everyone in the imperial city was feeling relaxed.

Northern Xinjiang.

On the vast grassland.

The cold wind was howling.

A pair of men and horses came against the wind and headed straight for the Turkic royal court.

Jie Li Lang Ya’s face was as cold as ice.

His hair and eyebrows were covered with dew.

It ran all the way, like a sharp arrow, without taking any detours, and headed straight for the Turkic steppe.

They really don't stop!
The horse under his crotch was already exhausted.

But fortunately, after thousands of miles of rushing, the Turkic steppe is right in front of us.

Turkic royal court.

Jie Li Khan and other tribal leaders.

All are in the king's court.

Drinking!

Have fun!

Then wait for the tribute from the Tang Dynasty to the Turks so that they can share it together.

The Turkic Empire was a tribal alliance, with Jie Li Khan as the common leader of the tribes, but the leaders of these tribes still had considerable power.

Jie Li Khan also tried his best to win over these tribes.

"Khan, come on, drink, drink, keep drinking!"

"Haha, hahahaha... Prince Langya is going to Chang'an in person this time. I guess he will bring a lot more stuff than before."

Tuli Khan shouted.

"Who said it wasn't true? Three years ago, we Turks were unstoppable. It was really exciting!!"

"Jie Li Khan, when will you lead your people to charge again?"

"It's a pity that we didn't capture Chang'an three years ago. Your loyal subjects are looking forward to it."

The leader of the Tiele tribe shouted.

He was like a hairy bear, sitting in the royal court, holding a leg of lamb in his hand, and roaring loudly.

“Hahaha… Yes, yes, three years ago, the heroic figure of Jie Li Khan is still fresh in our memory.

"Force the Tang King to bow his head, cut off his most beloved white horse, and then surrender to us."

"This is really... the power of the Turks!"

The leader of the Shiwei tribe held a skull and a wine glass in his hands, his eyes were like wolves, and he roared excitedly.

"Yes, yes, Khan, we are willing to fight. When the tribute arrives, we will rush straight to Chang'an. Hahahaha... I heard that the Tang King's concubines are really good, especially the Empress Zhangsun. I heard that she is quite famous. If she can be brought to my grassland and become my concubine, such a beautiful thing will be remembered forever. That's right, that's right!!"

"Hahaha……."

The other tribal leaders also echoed loudly.
