Chapter Nineteen: Ghosts and Secrets

Aunt Ping is an old nanny arranged by E Niang Shu Shujueluo personally. She is much older than Wu Lu and Malang A. She has no merits except a pair of sensitive noses.

You can tell the formula of the spices just by smelling it. A lot of sweat accumulated on Aunt Ping's forehead, and she was gasping for air.

"It's hot, don't be anxious, mama. If you have anything to say, let's talk slowly." Wen Xi was always very polite to the mamas around her. Most of them were helpless people and they had to stay with her in the palace.

She has been here all her life, so she treats the nuns with much more respect than a few maids.

"Master, I have checked carefully. The plum blossom incense is made of seven taels of agarwood, five taels of stacked incense, four taels of chicken tongue incense, two taels each of sandalwood and musk, six taels of patchouli and four taels of tong incense.

, two coins of armor incense and a little bit of dipterocarp." said Aunt Ping.

"Musk...?" Wenxi heard the key.

Aunt Ping said: "Yes, this is forbidden in the palace. However, musk will have the effect of abortion if you use it too much. If you are infertile, there is no harm in using less musk."

Wen Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Even if you eat arsenic, it would take enough to kill someone, and the same goes for musk. The smell of musk is strong and long-lasting, and one or two are added to many folk spices, but pregnant women generally avoid it.

, "Since it is banned in the palace, I wonder who has such good means to get it into Chengqian Palace?"

Aunt Ping continued: "The spices are secondary. The enamel incense burner is really extraordinary! The servant saw that the glaze color of the incense burner was much brighter than the ordinary enamel color. After looking carefully, he suddenly thought of the front facing the inside.

There is a secret medicine in the palace, which is usually applied on the incense burners to make gold and porcelain extra bright. However, it is okay to apply this medicine on ordinary objects, but the medicinal properties will only be released when exposed to heat!"

Wen Xi couldn't help but be wary, "What will happen if it spreads?"

Aunt Ping took a deep breath and said: "The fragrance will be emitted with a very light fragrance, which is difficult to detect. If you smell it for a long time, it will damage a woman's vagina and make her infertile. And the poisonous gas will slowly accumulate in the

In the body, long-term use will shorten your lifespan!”

Wen Xi couldn't help but take a breath of air, "Who thinks so highly of me? And actually uses such clever methods?!"

Wu Lu said: "Master, please calm down, there is never a shortage of means of abuse in the palace."

Wen Xi took a deep breath and said, "Mommy, do you think it's Concubine Tong..."

Wu Lushi shook her head, "Concubine Tong has only been in the palace for four or five years. How could she know the secret medicine of the previous dynasty? Sister Ping is an old person in the palace of the previous dynasty, and she only discovered it by chance. This matter is not easy to expose.

If you go out, you will only scare the grass and scare the snake."

Wen Xi was still frightened. Fortunately, she didn't like strong spices. Fortunately, Ma Lang's family was careful. Fortunately, Aunt Ping was once a palace maid in the previous dynasty and was proficient in spices. "Fortunately, I have Aunt Ping, otherwise I wouldn't even know how I died."

Yes!" Eniang strongly recommended Aunt Ping, and she was indeed very foresighted!

Aunt Ping said: "The slave is just fulfilling his duties. However, what is the master going to do with these things?"

Wen Xi sneered, "Such a good thing, please put it away first! If you are able, mama, please do a good job and take a good look at the palace to see if there are any things that shouldn't be there!"

"嗻!"

Fortunately, except for the smoker, everything else was clean, and Wen Xi breathed a sigh of relief. The people from the imperial court came to report that Kangxi's dinner was served in Chengqian Palace. Wen Xi had to put down what he was doing and ordered the small kitchen to prepare something refreshing and light.

's dinner.

When Kangxi came over, the sky had just darkened. Wen Xi, wearing a blue flag dress with gold embroidery and lotus flowers wrapped around it, greeted him outside the palace. "You are not afraid of suffocating yourself if you stay in your palace all day?"

"The sun is poisonous during the day, and I am afraid that I will get tanned if I go out." Wen Xi smiled delicately.

"My little daughter's temper is still the same as before. I don't even know what to say to you."

Wen Xi is a bit charming and naive, she is also young, and her cute appearance is also very pleasant, "I am much better now than when I was in my parents' house!"

Kangxi smiled and said: "That's the truth! At least now you don't ask me for food or drink money!"

Wen Xi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "There is no such thing as a free dinner in this world. Doesn't the emperor still have to pay his concubine a salary?" However, the imperial concubine's salary for a year is only a mere six hundred taels of silver, not even a jar of glass wine.

If you can't afford it, it won't be enough to reward your slaves!

"You have been like this since you were a child, and you are not willing to suffer any losses!"

Wen Xi was slightly confused: "How did the emperor know that I was a child...?"

Kangxi clapped his gentle little hands, half thinking about the past, "At that time, when you were still young and your sister was still a noble concubine, you somehow ran into the imperial palace and grabbed a plate of cakes from Chenghu.

Two years older and a bit taller, Chenghu was bullied to tears!"

Um... Wen's face is covered with black lines. Has she really done this kind of thing? Or has Galo done this kind of thing? Why can't Mao remember it at all? It seems, it seems, indeed...

··There is a very arrogant little kid in my memory, but the specific plot is very vague.

"At that time, Chenghu had no playmates, but he gradually became familiar with you. He originally begged me to let you come to the palace more often, but unfortunately... Chenghu disappeared the next year." Kangxi's voice was filled with sadness and nostalgia.

Chenghu, the first son of Hesheli and Kangxi, died in the eleventh year of Kangxi. The current prince Yinreng was on December 13th, Chenghu’s birthday, and was canonized three years after Chenghu’s death.

Prince, this shows how much Kangxi loves this child. Hu means father, and Chenghu means inheriting his father's inheritance. This shows that Kangxi has high hopes for this child.

Wen Xi was silent for a long time, and suddenly felt that she should say something to break the atmosphere, "I remember it! That was the cake that Queen Renxiao entertained me to eat, and it was Brother Chenghu who snatched my concubine's cake, so arrogant

This is the first time I have seen this child!"

Kangxi couldn't help but laugh, and said in an ambiguous tone: "How about you give me an arrogant little brother?"

Wen Xi blushed immediately, why did it come to her head again? Hesheli died because she gave birth to a child too early! Then she said: "Your Majesty, children are debts, and you already have enough debts."

Now they are all small, white, tender and lovely. When you grow up, you will be worried! You deserve to have a lot of sons, and you will not be allowed to live in peace when you are old!

Kangxi smiled and said: "Have you not heard, my beloved, that if you have too many lice, you won't be itchy; if you have too many debts, you won't have to worry!"

This era is completely different from the idea of ​​a couple having only one child in later generations. The Manchus are originally a minority compared to the Han people. They are afraid that it will not be conducive to rule. From the emperor to the ordinary bannermen, they all work hard to create children. Anyway, there are all bannermen.

The state distributes regular money, so you don't have to worry about food, so you naturally have more time to create the next generation. Kangxi himself was a very good role model. He had many sons born until his later years, and he gave birth to a total of twenty-four sons. It can be seen that*
