Chapter 16 Fragrance
However, her cousin is eating fish in the corner now.
"Is the fish made in the kitchen delicious?" Chen Yan, who was eating, swallowed the shrimp in her mouth. Seeing that he was not raising his head, he said in a good mood.
"It's delicious. This is the golden-scaled fish that is paid for tribute. It's worth hundreds of taels of silver. Where can it not be delicious?" Zhao Yan raised his face and said to her.
"It seems like he is a sensible person." Chen Yan smiled.
Zhao Yan wanted to smile evilly at his queen, but now he is a cat, so he can't make this expression, so he can only regret bowing his head and continue eating fish.
The golden-scale fish has no mixed thorns. The fish meat tastes not only not fishy, but also has a faint fragrance and a superb cooking skill of the chef, so it can really make people eat it voraciously.
After all, Zhao Yan was in a depressed mood for several days and didn't have much food. Now she is really hungry.
But after eating it, Chen Yan said, "Take it down, you can't eat it anymore."
"I'm not full yet!" Zhao Yan quickly said to the queen.
"You haven't eaten much these days. You have to accumulate food if you eat too much. Then you will feel uncomfortable. You will gradually get better. Just eat 50% or 60% full first. I won't stop you later." Chen Yan said.
"Xiaobai is still the first person who can let the empress speak out." Xuexiang smiled and asked Xueju to take down the remaining golden-scale fish.
Zhao Yan couldn't help but say to him, "I'm not that delicate, I'm just a fish, and I can't finish it? Queen, you're too underestimating me."
"Empress, look at Xiaobai, is he telling the Empress that he can finish eating and will not be able to eat?" Xuexiang said in surprise.
I had known Xiaobai's spiritual energy, but I didn't want it to be so spiritual energy.
"Don't look at him as young, but he knows everything." Chen Yan smiled, and she also put down her chopsticks and said, "Prepare hot water, I will wash Xiaobai's face and paws."
"Just let me come these things, right?" Xue Xiang said hurriedly.
"Come on this palace." Chen Yan said.
So Zhao Yan was served by his queen. The queen not only wiped his mouth with Xiangxiang's veil, but also wiped his claws and cleaned him up.
"Empress, I have never seen you like this before." Zhao Yan was happy and a little aggrieved.
It turned out that the queen was so gentle in private, but every time she saw him again, the queen was cold in her eyebrows and eyes, and she didn't even have a redundant expression.
It is in a very sharp contrast with his cousin, Concubine Ming.
He used to not like the queen like this. He was always lukewarm and had nothing to say to him. He was not speculative and said more about him and the queen.
He always feels so wronged, why did his father choose such a queen for him?
He used to think that the queen was just a piece of wood, but now it seems obviously not. The queen also has a gentle side, and this gentle side is not to him. Wouldn't he deserve gentleness?
"Why are you still wronged? I haven't even served the emperor before, but I'm just serving you little thing." Chen Yan pointed at his nose and chuckled.
"Queen, you are better to a cat than to me." Zhao Yan became even more jealous.
"Okay, I've asked someone to prepare milk for you as snacks. Go back and rest." Chen Yan said.
"It's still early now, and I don't want to sleep." Zhao Yan held her ankle on the ground and said.
"Don't you want to go back?" Chen Yan smiled and said, "Then let's play here, but I'm going to make incense, so I don't have time to accompany you."
As she said that, she came to the side room.
This side of the side room is her incense room and the forbidden area of her Xianyang Palace. No one can step into this place without permission.
However, Zhao Yan followed her and came towards her.
"Empress, do you want to take Xiaobai back?" Xuexiang asked.
"Let him go and have a meal first, and come here after you finish." Chen Yan said.
"Yes." Xuexiang then stepped down.
Chen Yan picked up Zhao Xiaobai and entered the incense room. As soon as he came in, Zhao Yan almost fainted by the fragrance here because he was a cat, but his sense of smell was much sharper than that of humans.
"You told you not to come in, you still want to come in." Chen Yan raised his eyebrows when he saw him like this.
"I don't want to go back." Zhao Yan said while pulling her arm.
"Okay, then you can stay here." Chen Yan said, then put him on the cushion. She went to open the cabinet and took out the spices, and lit them on Zhao Yan's side.
Zhao Yan felt more comfortable when it smelled a little.
Seeing that he was like this, Chen Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "Stay here well, I'm going to be busy."
Zhao Yan watched her start to be busy.
The queen was making incense. When making incense, the queen was dignified and serious, and Zhao Yan became obsessed with it before he knew it.
In his previous life, the queen sometimes saw that the fragrance on his body was very strong, but he didn't like that rich fragrance. He thought that the queen was deliberately seducing him, learning from the imperial concubine, but she imitated her.
The fragrance on Concubine Ming was something he had been used to since childhood, and even if it was a little richer, it was nothing.
But the queen couldn't learn from Concubine Ming, and he was even more displeased.
But this time, Zhao Yan's face turned a little red because he was afraid that he had misunderstood that the queen actually had an incense room here. When she went to see him, she had a strong fragrance. Maybe she had just left the incense room and had not had time to change her clothes.
That's all.
But he thought the queen was learning from the imperial concubine and wanted to seduce him?
Zhao Yan's face looked embarrassed.
Chen Yan didn't know that her pet thoughts were pianized. Once she started making incense, she would no longer pay attention to anything else.
She has loved perfume since she was a child. Her grandmother said that she inherited her mother's talent for making incense and was better than her.
If she hadn't been the eldest daughter of General Shen's mansion, her grandmother would have even wanted her to go back and inherit the Xie family.
Outsiders don’t know that the most popular spices that Xie’s family sells now are made by Chen Yan.
In recent years, Xie's family has had several popular incense products every year. Not only are they all from Shen Yan, but half of them are indeed the case.
However, for Chen Yan, making incense is her interest and her hobby. Moreover, after entering this side room, she is Chen Yan, not the queen, and this is where she relieves the pressure.
After a while, Xuexiang came over.
Xuexiang came over to help her empress, obviously she was very familiar with the incense. When Zhao Yan saw that there, she stared at this place and smiled and said, "I thought Xiaobai had a keen sense of smell and could not stand the fragrance of the incense room. I didn't expect to be so obedient."
"I'm not good at it. I almost fainted when I came in. I lit a clear god incense for him." Chen Yan also glanced at Zhao Xiaobai.
"Meow~" Seeing the queen look over, Zhao Yan meowed at her.
Chen Yan smiled and said, "I don't know where my father got the variety. It's so close to becoming a spirit."
"I have seen it for a while. I really don't know that there is a cat that can be so smart." Xuexiang smiled.
Seeing that Zhao Xiaobai was not running around, the master and servant lay there and watched them busy, they ignored them and turned around and began to make a fry carefully.
