Gu Shu's princess' words had offended everyone present. Aside from the officials in the South who were close to Gu Shu, everyone else looked at her with dissatisfaction. Even the Empress furrowed her brow.
Xuan Tiange snorted coldly, saying: "A lowly princess of a vassal country, and not a princess of the first wife, actually dares to openly come to Dashun to provoke us? Hmph! You really do not know the immensity of Heaven and Earth! "
The princess of Gu Shu looked in Xuan Tiange's direction, completely indifferent to Xuan Tiange's words. She just continued to hold the glass bottle carefully, and the gaze with which she looked at Xuan Tiange was filled with disdain. "How could this be a provocation. Gu Shu is a vassal country of Dashun. We have produced this sort of treasure. Naturally, we need to bring it over to have His Majesty look at it." After saying this, she bowed to Emperor Tianwu, "Your Majesty, please forgive us. Because this is the first time Gu Shu has produced this thousand-fragrance perfume, other than this bottle, we do not have any more. That's why this bottle will need to be brought back to have the person who made it compare and mix it."
What she had said was reasonable, and the people of Da Shun could not say anything else. Although the words that this princess had said earlier were very unpleasant, she was currently speaking to the Emperor. It was not good for them to speak up. What kind of attitude did the Emperor have?
But as the people waited, they did not see any reaction from the Emperor. After waiting a little longer, they saw Emperor Tianwu sniff hard a few times, then ponder for a while before sniffing again … …
The officials were a little conflicted. Could it be that the Emperor had been attracted by the scent of Gu Shu's thousand-fragrance perfume? This was not a good thing. Even if this thousand-fragrance perfume was good, it had been clearly said that it was being used for the people of Dashun to broaden their horizons. It was not being given to Dashun. No matter how much the Emperor liked it, it would not be good to openly snatch it?
Gu Shu's seventh princess also noticed Tianwu's actions and could not help but smile. Looking at the glass bottle in her hand, she said very confidently: "Dashun is rich in resources, but it does not have many unique recipes, especially the method of making incense. It's still stuck in the era of using incense. You have to know, our Gu Shu stopped using incense over 200 years ago. "She covered her mouth and giggled for a while, then said:" It's truly too backward. "
These words caused everyone's faces to turn red, but they had no way of shutting her up. Because what she had said was correct. In this aspect, Da Shun was truly too lacking.
At this time, from the group of princes, Xuan Tianming, suddenly said: "It 'is is just a trick trick. My Dashun has a large family and a large family family. where would I have the time to research Research such useless things? Also, if Da Shun knew how to do everything, what use would there be for a vassal country like you? If you like to research, then go ahead and research to your heart's content. Either way, there's nothing else to do. Just guard your small family and small country to pass your days. Once the research is done, it will be offered to Dashun sooner or later. We just need to wait and use it. Dashun's energy should be used to stabilize the country. While you are researching the thousand-fragrance perfume, we are researching the production of steel. Princess of Gu Shu, if you don't understand, go back and ask the ruler of Gu Shu whether the thousand-fragrance perfume is more useful or Dashun's steel is more practical. "
Although the seventh princess was a woman, she was still a member of Gu Shu's imperial family. She naturally understood the significance of steel. Her arrogance from relying on the thousand-fragrance perfume for a while had finally been suppressed.
Dashun's officials all nodded and looked emotionally at the Ninth Prince. Everyone was thinking: No wonder the Emperor likes this son so much! Look at what he said. With just a few words, he destroyed the princess. The others are still sulking over there. It really is not known until you compete. Once you encounter a situation, you see who is better and who is worse!
"Achoo!"
Just as everyone was feeling emotional, Emperor Tianwu suddenly sneezed. This sneeze was so loud that it echoed throughout the entire Heavenly Hall. Afterwards, some people estimated that this voice was even louder than Emperor Tianwu's voice in his prime!
This sneeze caused everyone to look over. They saw Emperor Tianwu repeatedly use his hand to fan his nose. As he fanned, he tightly furrowed his brows. He even turned his head to ask Eunuch Zhang Yuan: "Where are the palace maids holding the fan? Quickly have someone go find them! The more, the better! " After saying this, he looked at the princess of Gu Shu and asked in confusion: "You said that this thousand-fragrance perfume was something you spent many years to develop? Is it the pride of Gu Shu? Everyone likes it? "
The princess of Gu Shu was startled then nodded, "That's right." Thinking a bit more, "Could it be that Your Majesty doesn't like it?"
"Aiya!" Emperor Tianwu suddenly slapped his thigh, "It's Our fault. It's all Our fault." Tianwu blamed himself, "Dashun is a large country, yet you have neglected the feelings of the vassal country's citizens and beloved officials. You were actually faced with such a pungent and broken perfume, yet you said it was something good. It can be seen that the imperial family of a small country like Gu Shu has never seen a truly good perfume. This is all Our fault."
Everyone was confused upon hearing this. The princess of Gu Shu was also confused and asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, what are you saying?"
Tianwu waved his hand, "Wait a moment." Then he stretched his neck and shouted at the group of palace maids with fans who had come in from outside the hall, "You guys, walk faster. Two of you come here and fan Zhen here. The rest of you, fan in the hall. Hurry up and fan away this choking smell. Everyone here is Dashun's trusted officials. If you get hurt from this, it will be a serious matter. "As he spoke, he covered his nose and repeatedly sighed:" Princess of Gu Shu! It's not that We are scolding you, but it smells so bad, yet you treat it as something good? Heavens, We are about to become muddle-headed from the smell. "
Zhang Yuan, who was standing next to Tianwu, also had an unbearable expression. With a bitter expression, he said: "Exactly. What kind of smell is this? It's too disgusting. "
The two of them sang the same tune, causing the officials, madams, and young misses below to feel very confused. Even the concubines of the officials were confused. The all-purpose perfume smelled bad? Pungent? Oh, it was a bit pungent. After all, it smelled so good just by opening the lid. If it was used on the body, wouldn't it be pungent? But now that it smelled like it, it was not as exaggerated as Tianwu had said! In fact … it smelled very good.
For a moment, no one knew what Emperor Tianwu meant, but since the Emperor had spoken, they could not say that the all-purpose perfume smelled good. They all covered their noses.
Following Tianwu and Zhang Yuan's words, the next person to agree was the seventh prince, Xuan Tianhua. He simply stood up and bowed to Emperor Tianwu, saying: "Father Emperor, please forgive me. Please allow this son to leave for now. Once the smell in the hall has dissipated, I will enter the banquet."
Tianwu fiercely nodded, "Right, right, right. You should quickly leave. This place really does not suit you."
Xuan Tianhua turned and left. When he finally exited the hall, he exaggeratedly inhaled. Everyone saw this. Although they did not feel that it smelled bad, Xuan Tianhua's action of inhaling made them want to imitate him. However, they were in the hall, and the only thing that entered was the fragrance. With such a forceful inhalation, some madams and young misses really did start coughing.
Thus some young misses followed suit and left the banquet. For the sake of keeping up with the deity-like seventh prince, they could not continue sitting!
Feng Zhaolian naturally also ran out. He was even the first to get up and leave. He did not even have the time to greet Tianwu. Lifting his skirt, he quickly ran out. While running, he shouted: "Heavens! If I continue to stay in this hall, this great one's throat will be damaged! "
Thus, another group of people chased after Feng Zhaolian … …
However, the majority of them still remained. After all, the Emperor was still present. At this moment, the seventh princess of Gu Shu was extremely embarrassed. She could not help but frown, as she began to have doubts about the all-purpose perfume in her hand.
Emperor Tianwu continued: "Seventh princess! We do not blame you. After all, a small foreign country does not have much knowledge. If you think that this thing is fragrant, then there's nothing that can be done about it. It's just that you have never seen a true perfume. "
The princess of Gu Shu finally understood the meaning behind Emperor Tianwu's words and could not help but ask: "Your Majesty means … … you have seen something even more fragrant than this all-purpose perfume?"
Tianwu waved his hand, "What's more fragrant? This one of yours is already so fragrant. If it's even more fragrant, wouldn't it kill me! The little princess of Gu Shu! Come, come, come, come forward a bit … … hah! It's fine if you just come over, but take that bottle a bit further away. We really can't smell it. Right, put it a bit further away. Listen to Us, whether this perfume is good or bad is not something that can be determined just by how fragrant it is. Whether it's good or bad depends on the quality. Just the fragrance alone is not enough. It needs to be pure and not have that strange pungent smell. It needs to make people feel good when they smell it. They can't all be frowning. Look, you scared Our seventh son so much that he ran out of the hall to get some fresh air. Also, not only does the fragrance have to be good, but it also needs to linger for a long time. Also, the color of the perfume is very particular. " As the Emperor spoke, he pointed at the glass bottle that the palace servant behind him was holding for the princess of Gu Shu, "Take a look at that. We can see it from so far away. The water in that glass is red, right? If this kind of colored water is used on clothes, wouldn't it dye the clothes red? What, is it that your Gu Shu is so rich that you don't need to wear clothes anymore after wearing them once? "
No one could have thought that Tianwu, the ruler of a country, would be able to speak so clearly about a perfume that only women used. What's more, he had even convinced the seventh princess of Gu Shu. The little girl stood in the hall with a look of shock and confusion. She then turned to look at her thousand-fragrance perfume and began to doubt her life once more.
On the other side, Feng Yu Heng also bitterly smiled. She knew that Emperor Tianwu was talking about the same things she had said to Consort Yun when she had given Consort Yun the perfume. That was an international brand of high-grade perfume that she had taken out from her space. How could the crude craftsmanship of the ancient people compare to it? Recently, Winter Moon Palace had been burned down, so Consort Yun and Tianwu had interacted a bit more. Tianwu must have smelled Consort Yun's perfume and heard Consort Yun talk about this before. Only today did he speak so clearly.
Moreover, it was not just Emperor Tianwu who said this. Even Xuan Tianming could not help but say: "Princess of Gu Shu, don't blame Imperial Father and I for scolding you. Really, that thousand-fragrance perfume of yours is too disgusting. Quickly throw it away! However, you must not find a place to dump it in Da Shun's territory! Bring it back to Nanjiang and throw it away. The further, the better! "
