137, offering incense

Xu Shu entered the palace to present the newly made Buddhist incense. The Empress Dowager liked it as usual, and remembered the grievances that Xu Shu had suffered in the palace last time, so she took this opportunity to reward her with many things. As soon as Xu Shu thanked her for her kindness, the little eunuch under her sternly said, "The eldest prince is here!"

Xu Shu showed panic on her face, and she grabbed the corner of her clothes and said, "Last time the Empress saved her daughter, she should thank the Queen!" Her fear of the eldest prince was fully visible.

"Go! I'll let someone take you closer from the back door!" The Empress Dowager nodded, just in time for Xu Shu to avoid the eldest prince.

Immediately, a palace maid came forward to lead the way, and Xu Shu walked towards the back door. The eldest prince rushed into the hall excitedly, but Xu Shu was gone. The eldest prince looked around but didn't see Xu Shu. He was immediately unhappy. He bowed to the Empress Dowager and sat aside.

The Empress Dowager knew the eldest prince’s thoughts, but she didn’t see it. She only asked some homework according to the example. The Prince answered absent-mindedly and did not catch Xu Shu. The Prince had no intention of staying anymore. She found an excuse and ran away. The Empress Dowager watched it and sighed.

Recently, the eldest prince's behavior has become more and more absurd and moody. The impeachment of the eldest prince has become more and more troubles. The Empress Dowager has gradually realized many bad things about the eldest prince, but the emperor is the only prince. He will only inherit the throne in the future, so he is unwilling to spoil him anymore, and he does not want to see the destruction of Dayin's country in his hands.

After leaving the back door, the palace maid led the Kunning Palace all the way. Xu Shu's panic disappeared. The palace maid felt very distressed. The eldest prince's nature was known to everyone in the palace. The palace maids saw that the eldest prince was bypassed and were afraid of being avoided, for fear of falling into the hands of the eldest prince. However, there were still people who could not escape the eldest prince's claws. No one who was missed by the eldest prince could escape. Miss Xu Jiu didn't know when she could hide...

Xu Shu entered Kunning Palace and the queen was already waiting. "I heard yesterday that you handed in the palace and I guessed that you should come today!"

"My daughter has seen the Empress for thousands of years!"

"Get up! Give me a seat!" The queen looked at Xu Shu with a smile, with a different light flashing in her eyes, which was expectation and excitement.

Xu Shu sat down obediently and took out something, "Last time the Empress saved her daughter's life, but she couldn't repay her. She thought that the Empress was the mother of a country and had nothing to do with her good things. She took some ordinary things and defiled her identity. She made some incense and offered it to the Empress, and hoped that the Empress would not dislike her!"

The box containing the incense was carved with a few branches, which were not the commonly used passionflower pattern. The queen looked closely and recognized it as a pomegranate flower. The pomegranate meant many children, and the fragrance was famous! The queen felt aroused and took it with her own hands, "The mother queen you made incense is like, so why would I dislike it? It's too late to like it!"

A palace maid came forward to take the incense box, but the queen stopped her and grabbed the incense box tightly in her hand, as if she was holding a life-saving straw.

Xu Shu said again, "The Empress Dowager uses Buddha incense. For your servants, you call it 'yelaixiang'. It is used before going to bed at night. Light a piece of it and inserted it into the incense burner. The next morning I got up and felt refreshed and full of energy!"

"It's such an effect? ​​I can't help but want to borrow flowers to offer Buddha to the emperor. I've been talking about sleepiness recently!" The queen smiled, but grabbed the incense box even tighter.

Xu Shu laughed without saying a word, but the curve of the corners of her mouth became deeper. The queen understood what Xu Shu meant, and the fragrance was not for her, but for the emperor!

"But this incense must be burned with a stone furnace to have this effect. You cannot use the silver incense burner in the Empress Palace!"

"I will change it after turning back!" The smile on the Empress's face couldn't be suppressed, and her mood was light and brisk that she hadn't experienced in years!

"It's still early, please accompany me to the Imperial Garden!" The queen had something to say to Xu Shu, but because of the crowds and eyes in Kunning Palace, she had to change places.

The queen took Xu Shu to the Imperial Garden, and used Yuko, who served tea, snacks, incense, to send all the people around her to serve her. Then she couldn't wait to ask, "Can this incense really make me pregnant with a dragon fetus?"

Xu Shu nodded, "If what I expected was not bad, this fragrance would definitely work!"

The queen glanced at Xu Shu and smiled, "You and I are now considered people on the same boat. They even kept their words from me. If you don't say it, I will just say it!"

"The emperor is in his prime, and there are countless concubines in the palace, but only Concubine Shu has the only prince. The people in the palace have already started to discuss it privately. It is said that Concubine Shu has done tricks on the emperor, which has made other concubines unable to get pregnant. Even the emperor privately hired an imperial physician to take the pulse, but did not find out what was going on. Now it seems that the rumors in the palace are not completely unreasonable!"

Xu Shu lowered her head and neither agreed nor denied the queen's guess. However, the queen thought that her guess was correct. She touched the incense box in her sleeve and asked, "How did you guess this?"

Xu Shu replied, "After inquiring from many sources, I found out that more than ten years ago, the eldest prince was born the next year! Based on those medicinal materials, the old man developed this box of Yelai Xiang!"

"You can also find out more than ten years ago?" The queen couldn't help but be surprised.

Xu Shu smiled and said, "My daughter makes incense. There are always some long-term drug dealers. Yongle Hou Mansion is generous and they buy unusual medicinal materials. Naturally, the drug dealers will not forget them easily. Even after more than ten years, they still remember them. So, I found out when I inquired!"

"This Shufei is really doing everything!" The queen sneered, "I will settle the score with her when I give birth to a safe prince!"

Xu Shu was entangled for a moment and couldn't help but say, "If the emperor sets up the Kunning Palace, the empress might as well make some venison deer marrow soup to replenish the emperor's body!"

Venison Deer Marrow Soup? That is a erotic substance. What does Xu Shu mean? The Queen looked at Xu Shu in surprise.

Xu Shu explained, "The emperor is no longer young after all, and it is not as good as more than ten years ago. Besides, he has been infected with drugs for many years..."

The queen smiled knowingly, "I understand, just do what you say, nothing is more important than the prince!"

"My daughter wishes the Empress to fulfill her wish as soon as possible!"

"I am looking forward to that day too!" The queen gently stroked her lower abdomen. At that moment, the tenderness in her eyes was even gentler than the moonlight. It was a woman's desire for being a mother.

"I will thank you very much in such a day!" the queen promised, "Speak, what do you want?"

Xu Shu shook her head, "The Empress saved the life of the minister. This is the repayment of the minister to the empress. I dare not take credit for it anymore!"

"Although I saved you, I have made a lot of profits. Now that you help me give birth to the emperor, I should reward you according to my merits!" The queen was full of confidence, as if she had really given birth to a prince.

"As long as the Empress gets what she wants, the daughter will be satisfied!"
