Li Yuan carefully inquired about the situation of the people on the mountain.
Even the matter of Gao Kan and Li Chengqian getting drunk on cigarettes, as well as the blunder caused by Zhang Feng smoking for the first time, entered Li Yuan's ears.
Li Yuan looked at the wisp of smoke rising in spirals from his hand, his eyes shining.
Good stuff, simply good stuff.
"We ask you, where does Your Majesty have it?"
"Yes, the various Dukes sent it to the Imperial Palace yesterday. However, the strength of yesterday's cigarette was too great. The Crown Prince felt that Your Majesty would not be able to bear it. As a result, when Prince Zhang's improved cigarette was produced today, the Crown Prince hurriedly ordered this lowly subordinate to deliver it to Retired Emperor immediately."
At the beginning, Li Yuan was still somewhat annoyed.
However, after hearing the imperial bodyguard commander say that the improved cigarette was delivered, his anger turned to joy.
"Not bad, at least this fellow has a bit of conscience."
"Come, come, come. Eunuch Ling, distribute the cigarettes, one for each person. Accompany Us to have a taste. This is the treasure of Mount Yi!"
Hearing this, the eyes of Li Yuan's concubines instantly brightened. Chattering, they surrounded Li Yuan. However, there were only twenty or so cigarettes in a box. Li Yuan personally lit a few cigarettes for the concubines, having them take turns smoking. Afterwards, the people at his side did the same. Soon, only three cigarettes remained in the box.
However, Li Yuan was not afraid.
Right now, he was the vice-principal of Mount Yi. Anyone could have less of these cigarettes, but could he?
The crowd held this novel toy, looking left and right. Immediately, amidst Li Yuan's loud laughter, the crowd coughed one after another.
Just as the harem was in a state of chaos,
The matter of Zhang Feng's cigarettes slowly spread throughout the Imperial Palace.
Although these things were rare, there were always people who could obtain some from Mount Yi.
Especially Niu Jinda and company. … …
At this moment, in Taiji Palace.
Zhangsun Wu Gou was in the middle of discussing something with Princess Changle. However, at this moment, a series of rustling sounds and strange smells came from outside the door, causing this dignified Empress to instantly become angry.
"Who is outside?"
The noise outside immediately stopped. Afterwards, a series of kneeling sounds could be heard. Flustered eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly said, "Empress, no … nothing was done."
Zhangsun Wugou frowned: "Come in and talk to me."
As he spoke, he hugged Princess Changping, who was only a few years old, and looked coldly at the people who had just opened the door.
As soon as everyone entered, they saw Zhangsun and Wu Gou's gloomy and cold expression. They couldn't help but feel apprehensive in their hearts as they knelt on the ground before the two women.
"Why were you waiting outside just now? What is this smell … Little Hua, what is that in your hand? "
Zhangsun and Wu Gou instantly saw the burning white thing that Xiao Hua hid behind him. It seemed to be very similar to the white paper that the Emperor brought back.
When Little Hua heard this, his face turned pale.
"In, in reply to the Empress, this, this is … this is a cigarette …"
"Cigarettes?"
Empress Zhangsun was a little puzzled. "Bring it up for me to take a look."
Wasn't this something similar to incense?
Where did this incense come from?
Why use such expensive white paper?
Little Hua didn't dare to delay in the slightest. Although Empress Zhangsun was an easy-going person, once she got angry, it wasn't something that ordinary people could endure.
Little Guizi hurriedly handed the cigarette in his trembling hand to Zhangsun and Wu Gou.
After observing it closely, Empress Zhangsun still couldn't understand the use of this thing. Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but ask curiously: "Where did this thing come from?"
"It's from the Emperor …"
Xiao Huazi was so excited that he opened his mouth and gave Empress Zhangsun a big fright.
"What?"
"It was given to this servant by the Emperor's eunuch, Little Guizi."
Hearing this, Zhangsun and Wu Gou let out a deep sigh of relief: "Tell me, where did this thing come from, and why would such expensive white paper be used for this thing?"
"Tell me in detail, this empress naturally won't delve into it. If you dare to lie, this empress will make your skin split open!"
How could Little Hua endure this?
In a panic, he spilled out everything.
So this thing came from Mount Yi.
The first person Zhangsun and Wu Gou thought of was the guy she saw in the small tavern last time.
Zhang Feng!
Other than him, no one dared to waste white paper like this.
And most importantly, this white paper was made by him. What else wouldn't he do?
Little Hua confessed in full detail.
Zhangsun and Wu Gou couldn't help but frown.
"Nonsense!"
"This is simply nonsense. Since when did the palace become so chaotic because of one thing?"
"Empress, please forgive me! This humble one … this humble one … "
Little Hua and the others turned pale with fright and repeatedly begged for mercy.
Zhangsun and Wu Gou smelled the smoke and threw the burning cigarette to Little Hua in disgust: "From now on, in this empress' bedroom, you're not allowed to smell this thing. Otherwise, this empress will hold you accountable!"
"You can all leave. Leave. "
As if thinking of something, Zhangsun and Wu Gou asked when they were about to be released: "Where is the Emperor now?"
Little Hua trembled when he heard this.
"In … in the imperial study …"
"Prepare the imperial study!"
"…"
