Chapter 57: First meeting with the prince
After thinking about it, he told the maid, "You go to Song Mansion and bring a letter to Song Zilan, saying that her father has now detained Huaer in Song Mansion and let her do it by herself!" Also, if my Huaer loses a hair in her Song Mansion, I will never end with her!"
Early that morning, Zichu dressed up as a purple cuckoo and followed Empress Nalan to the emperor's bedroom. When I arrived at the door, I happened to see Prince Jun Yusulum coming out of it and the arrival of Queen Nalan and her party. Prince Junyu I saluted her strangely and said, "It turned out that my mother came after. It's so early that my father hasn't had breakfast yet!"
"That's just right. I serve the emperor for breakfast. If the prince is busy with the government, just go ahead!"
After saying that, Queen Nalan took the people around her into it, but the prince said lukewarmly behind her: "I heard that my mother held a banquet in Fengyi Palace yesterday, but attracted a large number of wasps to besiege guests. Fortunately, I saw that my mother was safe and sound today. It seems that my mother is really Hong Fuqitian, but in contrast, Miss Shangguan is not so lucky.
Queen Nalan held her breath and knew in her heart that this matter had nothing to do with the prince. However, she suffered from the lack of evidence, so she had to reply stiffly, "Thank you for your concern. I'm sitting well in the palace, and naturally I'm not afraid of these young people coming to harass me. Even Miss Shangguan was out of danger last night. In a moment, the old lady Shangguan will come to the palace to pick up people, and I will explain it to her in person.
"Oh? So, Miss Shangguan is also very lucky. However, I heard that the reason why Miss Shangguan was able to get out of danger was thanks to Miss Song's advice. Didn't the mother leave Miss Song in her palace? Why don't you bring her here today so that you can see the elegant demeanor of this talented and beautiful Miss Song?
Queen Nalan replied with a guilty smile when she heard the words: "Miss Song is from a girl's house. I also feel that she is talented and beautiful when I stay in the palace for a few more days. However, I heard that she has decided to get married, so it is not convenient to bring it here to see His Royal Highness.
Prince Junyu seemed to have a deep smile and answered, "Oh? Is that so? The son heard that his mother held the banquet just to select the choice of side concubines for the son. In this way, it turned out that the minister misunderstood the mother's intention, right?
Queen Nalan replied, "There is no misunderstanding. I do intend to find a side concubine for you. It's just that it's not easy to be blatant about such a thing, otherwise you won't see the true nature of these young ladies.
"That's true. The mother's queen is far-sighted, and the minister really admires it."
Zichu listened to the nominal mother and son fighting there, and secretly pinched the sweat for Queen Nalan in his heart. Looking at the appearance of this prince, there is not only a good skin. How can a person with such a sharp look have no complete plan in his heart?
Just as the queen finished talking with the prince and continued to walk forward, she also quickly lowered her head and followed quickly. But unexpectedly, Prince Jun Yusulon had turned around and walked out for two steps. Although he turned back and came forward to stop Zichu's way, his eyes were a little deep and he said, "Is this the purple cuckoo girl beside the mother? Forgive me, my eyes are clumsy. I didn't see that the purple cuckoo was so beautiful before. And... It's still fragrant and touching."
Hearing the prince's words and blocking his way, Zichu suddenly shouted in his heart. She often serves flowers these two days, and naturally there is some fragrance on her body. Coupled with the girl's natural body fragrance, it is summer at this time, and the wind in the hall is flowing, and it is easy to smell the fragrance on his body.
Moreover, if the prince is born with a keen sense of smell, then he may have noticed that his body fragrance is different from that of the purple cuckoo. Therefore, he blocked his way, which was obviously suspicious.
Queen Nalan was also a little surprised and came over and said, "Your Highness is joking. Purple cuckoo has been serving in this palace for many years, and I often meet Your Highness. Although she is also beautiful, it is impossible to compare with the beauty around Her Royal Highness.
Prince Junyu listened to the queen's words, but the doubts in his eyes did not dissipate. But after staring at Zichu, he suddenly came closer, sniffed around Zichu's neck, and then praised, "It's so fragrant, Miss Purple Cuckoo. If I had known that your fragrance was touching, I would have added to your blue eyes."
Zichu was made uncomfortable by his action. After all, the person in front of him is the prince of the prison who has controlled the real power of the country. He is not the fake emperors who wore a dragon robe when she used to act. If she was recognized by him, he would not be scolded.
Fortunately, after looking around Zichu for a while, the prince Jun Yunsul finally said, "I'm rude, but the more I look at the purple cuckoo girl beside my mother, the more beautiful I feel. Miss Zijuan, if you get a chance in the future, I will definitely ask your mother to come over. I don't know what you think?"
Although Zichu has imitated the sound of the purple cuckoo, there is still some inevitable tension at this time. Then he bowed his head and pretended to be shy and said, "Your Highness is really funny. I dare not bear such a compliment from you."
"It's nothing. I'm also telling the truth."
After saying this, His Royal Highness finally left with his people. Seeing that there was no one around, Zichu patted his chest and exhaled and said, "I'm really scared to death, Queen, did you have any important information that you didn't tell me?"
Queen Nalan was also a little embarrassed and said in a low voice, "Yes, I just forgot to tell you that the prince is naturally sensitive to smell, and he is very alert to any smell."
Zichu remembered that when he approached him before, there was no fragrance on his body. For a powerful man from a noble background, it is strange for people in this era not to smoke incense. So she then boldly speculated, "So, is he obsessed with cleanliness?"
"Yes, I have heard people around him complain before that everything he has used must be wiped clean. All furniture is not allowed to be used by others. As for clothes, they are usually only worn three times. After three times, it was discarded.
It turned out that he was a person with a serious cleanliness fetish, and according to his own analysis, this person is still very narcisistic. That kind of look, in modern times, is definitely the material for idol stars. It seems that women in the world will be dizzy when they see him, otherwise they will be blind. It's really... It turns out that the ancients also had narcisism... There was a weak twitch in the original intention.
Then he thought of a more realistic question, so he touched his head and stroked his forehead and said, "How can you not tell me such an important thing in advance? I tell you that once this thing is sprinkled in the temple, with the prince's sensitive sense of smell, he will definitely find the clue!"
"What should I do? Think of something quickly!"
Zichu sighed helplessly and knew that almost all the prince's eyes and ears were in the Zichen Hall at this time, so he said, "Forget it, let's go back and make plans."
After the party came back from Zichen Hall, Jun Yuchen had already stretched out his neck and waited in Fengyi Palace. Seeing Zichu and his mother, they came back with a solemn face and knew that things were not going well, so they quickly asked, "How's it going? Is it not going well?"
"Yes, I forgot that the prince has a good sense of smell. This one alone is not suitable for using the previous method."
"What should I do? If it doesn't work, we..."
Zichu interrupted him and shook his head and said, "In this case, we have to start from the prince."
Queen Nalan was shocked by this sentence and asked, "Do you want to start from the prince? What does this mean?
At the beginning, Zi didn't have time to explain more, so he had to hurriedly explain his plan to the queen and others, and then began to ask someone to arrange it.
"This is good, but you can eat it. As long as you make an appointment with him, he will come to the appointment?"
Seeing that Queen Nalan was still a little confused, Zichu nodded and said, "I'm sure that as long as he comes to the appointment, I will have a way to let him be tricked."
"I don't agree! You can't go to battle in person, or let the purple cuckoo go by himself?
As soon as Jun Yuchen heard that Zichu actually wanted to meet the prince alone, he immediately shook his head and expressed his opposition loudly. But his objection was soon ignored by both women.
"Okay, just arrange it as Miss Song said. Purple warbler, send someone to send a letter to the prince.
After receiving the secret letter from Zichu, Prince Junyu showed a cunning smile on the corners of his mouth. Although the servant beside him reminded, "Your Highness, this purple cuckoo is the queen's confidant. Is there any conspiracy that she invited you out to meet alone?"
Jun Yusul's face was disapproving: "It's just a maid of honor. Now the queen has lost her power in the palace, and her father has been ill for so long. As long as the prince ascends the throne, which woman in the world doesn't want to be the prince** Chenghuan? She is a smart person and knows how to choose trees. However, the prince also felt a little strange. Why didn't this purple cuckoo pay attention to it before?
The attendant dared not say much, so he had to complain in his heart that your eyes have always been higher than the top. If it weren't for a chance, how could you notice a little maid?
But when Prince Junyu thought of the faint fragrance on Zichu's body, he couldn't help closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. No one knows that although he likes women's spices the most and never uses them, he has an irresistible love for some fresh and natural smells.
After waiting for a long time by the appointed Jiuzhou Qing banquet pool, Zichu saw the prince in a light apricot costume and slowly walked towards him.
After the salute, she kept the right distance, stood about a foot away from the prince and said to him, "Your Highness, I have some selfish words and want to tell you alone."
