The people present here are all wealthy ladies of the wealthy family, and they are naturally no strangers to various spices and powders. Just hearing what Yun Shang said, they became somewhat interested.
Yun Shang smiled lightly and clapped her hands, and a woman wearing a crescent white robe slowly walked in carrying a plate. The woman's face was covered by a gauze veil, so her appearance could not be seen clearly. She could only look at her figure and her slender and soft waist.
The woman's eyes were somewhat cold, she walked into the pavilion and bowed, then sat down behind the table made of large tree roots in the pavilion, and placed the plate on the table.
, there are a few ice cubes, a few glasses, a few spices, and a candle on the plate.
The woman took an ice cube with her hand, put it in the palm of her hand and melted the ice cube into water. The melted water was collected in a cup, then she took a piece of spice, gently broke off a small piece and put it on the ice cube to melt.
into the water.
After finishing this, the woman took another candle, lit it with a fire stick, took the cup over, and placed it on the candle to bake.
Not long after, an elegant fragrance came out. It was like the fragrance of lotus, but it was a bit cooler than lotus. It was like an elegant beauty, but it was a bit cold from the bottom of her bones. But it was just this bit.
Not only can the coldness not repel people thousands of miles away, but it can also make people want to get closer and take a closer look.
"It is said that women are like flowers. When men have not yet obtained them, women are like snowdrops on the iceberg. They look at the beauty, smell the fragrance, and have some grooming, which makes people want to pick them."
The woman opened her lips and her voice was as melodious as the oriole in March.
The candle light became brighter, and the woman threw another small piece of spice into it. "After getting it, the woman will be like the graceful and luxurious peonies raised in the backyard, dignified and blooming, gentle and generous, and the fragrance will gradually become richer."
…”
The fragrance in the pavilion became a bit stronger, giving off a bit of luxury.
"If at this time, such a cold and proud plum appears, or the enchanting tuberose, or the elegant and charming lotus, then peonies will gradually make people feel vulgar."
Then, the water in the cup suddenly burst into flames, and all the fragrance gradually dimmed in an instant, leaving only the slightest lingering fragrance.
"From now on, maybe it will be like this incense, burned away by a fire, leaving only a faint aftertaste."
The woman bowed to everyone again and then stepped aside.
No one spoke for a long time, Yun Shang smiled softly, and then said: "I ordered this incense tasting event, and I also arranged this incense tasting performance. The reason for arranging such an event is because of the previous paragraph.
For some time now, Your Majesty has always wanted to send a woman to the prince's palace. They say that women need to be virtuous and virtuous, and they must be tolerant. What's more, I am still the prince's concubine."
Yun Shang's laughter turned cold, "I don't want to do this. No woman would want to share her husband with another woman. Even if she is said to be jealous, so what? A woman's happiness can only be grasped.
In your own hands, if you have to compromise even if you have to compromise, then why should others value you? Will they value your feelings? I have always believed that in this world, only the strong have the words.
Damn it, and I am not a very good person. If anyone wants to get someone close to the prince, it will never be possible."
Everyone present was a married woman, but how many of them had husbands who had concubines with each other? Yun Shang's words certainly touched their hearts.
"What the Crown Princess said is true, but how can I have the courage of the Crown Princess? Moreover, there is no army of 500,000 people relying on me behind me?" Someone sighed softly and said quietly.
Yun Shang laughed when she heard this: "Your natal family is not an ordinary generation. The most important thing for a woman is not to rely on the strength of her natal family. If a man has the idea of playing tricks on women, no matter how strong his natal family is, it will not have much effect.
Now that you are married, you can only rely on yourself to hold your husband's heart firmly in your hands."
"When men look for novelties and take concubines outside, they are just looking for freshness. They think the flowers outside are more fragrant. But if you are always tens of millions of times better than the women outside, and men are not stupid, why would they go outside?
Looking for fun?" Yun Shang raised her lips with a smile that was a bit evil, "As for women, they should be as graceful and noble as peonies, as pure as snow lotus, and at night, the fragrance should be as strong as tuberose."
"It seems that I haven't introduced the girl who showed us the fragrance just now. Qinghan, please say hello to everyone." Yun Shang said with a smile.
The woman in white clothes then stood up, took off the gauze on her face, revealing an elegant and unparalleled face, and said, "Madams, please greet me, I am Qinghan, from Mingfeng Pavilion."
As soon as the woman finished speaking, whispers could be heard in the pavilion. Yun Shang smiled and said, "Everyone guessed it right. The Mingfeng Pavilion is indeed a brothel. I have seen many noble families.
Madam, every time I hear about brothels, I feel very disgusted. I always feel that even a word spoken by people in the brothels is dirty. However, maybe the girl Qinghan in front of you is exactly the person your husband wants.
Woolen cloth?"
Yun Shang laughed loudly as she spoke. She knew that her words would offend the ladies present, but she still had no scruples, "My words may not sound nice, but sometimes, we also have to live happily.
Come to think of it, why can someone whom we despise be able to snatch our husbands away from us?"
The whispers became much quieter, and Yun Shang smiled again and said: "Although we claim to be ladies from a famous family, we are good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting, but I dare to make this bet with you, no matter what it is, no matter what you think
No matter how much he has to offer, he may not be able to compare with this girl from Qinghan."
"Could it be that the person playing the piano just now is this girl from Qinghan?" Mrs. Wang, who had been attracted by the beautiful music from a distance before, heard Yunshang say this, her face was also very surprised, and she quickly asked.
Yun Shang smiled slightly and nodded gently, "Exactly."
After that, no one spoke again. Yun Shang didn't know whether they felt inferior to Qinghan or didn't bother to compete with Qinghan. She just smiled and said: "Many times, we all hate the woman next to us for taking away our husband's favor, but we always behave politely.
To save face and refuse to try every means to please her husband, the result will be that there are more and more people in the house, and she can only stay lonely. But don't look down on the people in the brothel, their ways of pleasing people,
But it is worth learning."
Yun Shang smiled and said: "Qinghan, let's dance for everyone."
Qinghan responded softly, then raised her hand and took off the moon-white robe on her body, revealing the waist-length skirt underneath, which made her waist more and more unbearable.
Qinghan lowered her head and slowly raised her eyes, with a faint hint of charm in her eyes. The music sounded, but it was a tune that could not wait for the elegant hall. Qinghan gently raised her hand, showing a natural charm in every move, which made people's eyes gleam.
Can't move even an inch.
At the end of the song, Yun Shang looked at the ladies who were hiding behind the bead curtain and smiled and said: "Speaking of incense, the brothel is also the place where incense is best used. Different guests burn it.
Different incense and different powders are used. Good prostitutes know how to use incense to arouse the interest of their guests. However, the knowledge involved in this cannot be explained for a while. If you are interested, you can explain it together.
Let’s have a chat with Han Haosheng.”
After Yun Shang finished speaking, he changed the topic and called a real expert to make incense for everyone. However, Yun Shang clearly saw that their thoughts were no longer on this.
After the small banquet, Yun Shang ordered people to send the ladies out, and then slowly walked towards Nanyuan with Qinghan.
"Ning Qian strongly recommended you to me. When I met you today, you turned out to be a wonderful person. Mingfeng Pavilion has been open for a few days. How is the business? Who have become your guests?" Yun Shang
He asked with a smile, as casually as if he were chatting with close friends.
Qinghan lowered his head slightly, revealing his snow-white neck, and responded softly: "There are a lot of people every day, and there are also many officials in the court. It's just that Aunt Qianqian will help Qinghan select people, so Qinghan will serve him.
Not many, so far, there is only one academician in the Hanlin Academy, and one Master Yushi from the Yushitai, and they are just playing the piano and playing chess."
Yun Shang nodded lightly. Ning Qian's arrangement must have her own reasons, so she stopped asking and said with a smile: "That's fine. A true beauty should remain mysterious. After today, there will always be some people
I will come to you privately. You try to get along well with these women. Whatever they want to learn, just leave it to them."
Qinghan responded softly, and Yun Shang chatted with Qinghan for a few more words before letting her go find Ning Qian. When Yun Shang returned to Nanyuan, she felt a little tired. She lay on the soft couch and rubbed her forehead, saying softly.
: "Such a small banquet is really something I can't handle. Those housewives are all human beings, so it's really hard to deal with them."
Qin Yi smiled, walked over to Yun Shang, stretched out her hand to rub her temples, and then moved it down a little, pinched her shoulders, "But slaves look at it, I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep after they return home today."
It's just that they are usually too self-righteous, and when they suddenly heard the Crown Princess say this, they couldn't accept it for a moment. But looking at the beauties in the palace who competed with them for favors, they probably couldn't sit still.
.”
Yun Shang raised the corners of her lips and smiled: "It's better if you can't sit still. The water in the back house of Jincheng should also be stirred up. Don't look at these women who only care about dressing up.
, but if used properly, it is better than anything else. This is what the Duke’s wife taught me."
Qin Yi laughed when she heard this: "The Duke's wife is the real wise person. Although the Duke is impatient and powerful, he always looks like he dislikes the Duke's wife and always says
The Duke's wife is not good in one way or another, but she only has one wife in her whole life, so you know how powerful the Duke's wife is."
Yun Shang nodded slightly and smiled, "Yes." (To be continued)
