Fragrance Returned

Xunxiang and Dongyang talked about how the sky was getting dark and they lit the lamps. Xunxiang hadn't come over to eat yet, and Xun Yibo hadn't come back either.

A woman came to report, "The fourth master was invited to the outer study room by the prince-in-law as soon as he came to the office. The prince-in-law said that they wanted to read a book, and invited the princess and the princess to eat by themselves."

Dongyang's face was full of disappointment, "What book is so good?"

Xun Xiang smiled and said, "I wrote "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Tomorrow I will go to the palace to give a set to the emperor's grandfather."

I heard that my daughter had written a new book, and both her husband and son liked it. Dongyang was also happy and asked someone to send some dishes over.

"Tell the Prince Consort and Fourth Master that no matter how good the book is, you should take a break and don't read it too late."

Xunxiang was happy for Dongyang's progress. She finally considered others and spoke nicely.

The next day Xunxiang entered the palace and asked people to send the book to Taiji Hall. She and the queen whispered in Kunning Palace.

The prince has been living in the East Palace for a few days, but Queen Ye has not seen him yet.

"A child lives in such a big palace. Although there are many people in the palace, none of them are close to him. I miss him..."

Xunxiang thought too. But Gao Guang is the prince. While getting the best benefits, he will also lose something. This is what he should pay for.

The emperor did not come to Kunning Palace in the evening, so he sent Eunuch Qin to deliver his reward.

Eunuch Qin said with a smile, "The emperor was so fascinated by "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that he didn't put it down all day long. He even read it while eating. He didn't see any courtiers. He asked Xiao Shanzi to write the unimportant things. He said he would deal with it after reading the book...

"The emperor repeatedly praised the princess for her talent. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is magnificent and soul-stirring. It is much more interesting than the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The princess could have imagined those non-existent plots. There are also punctuation marks, which are indeed useful for reading. Useful…”

Xun Xiang first thought that it would take Xun's consort's efforts to popularize punctuation marks, but he didn't expect that the emperor also had this understanding.

It's easier now.

The emperor rewarded him with two amber ornaments and a set of the Four Treasures of the Study.

Queen Ye smiled so brightly that she rewarded Xunxiang with several good things.

The next day when Xun Xiang left the palace, Silk'er was waiting outside the palace gate with Jiang Xi and other guards, holding three sets of books.

Xunxiang had two sets of books sent to Zhenhaihou Mansion and Tao Mansion respectively, and she took one set to Chengyi Bo Mansion.

She made an agreement with Dongyang the day before yesterday that she would stay in Ding Mansion for one day today and return to Princess Mansion tomorrow.

On the way, Qinglang caught up with him.

He whispered outside the car, "My son-in-law was on duty last night and just left office this morning..."

He didn't say anything else, and Xun Xiang understood.

Sun Yumu went to the office and asked her to meet at Zuixian Pavilion.

They were about to get married. They were both busy with their own affairs and hadn't seen each other for nearly a month. Their love for each other can only be conveyed through letters sent by Feifei and Shuangshuang.

Xunxiang also missed Sun Yumu and said with a smile, "Okay."

Her words were also heard by Jiang Xi who was outside the car. Jiang Xi asked the driver to drive to Zuixian Pavilion.

Sun Yumu hadn't changed yet, and couldn't hide his excitement as he paced back and forth in the room.

As soon as Xunxiang entered, he pulled her and said, "The emperor was watching "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" last night when he saw Chou. Yinshi got up to watch it again. He also said that he was sick today and would not go to the morning court. Xiangxiang, give me a set. I will Also eager to watch.”

Xunxiang smiled and said, "I have already sent a set to your house, and also sent a set to my master."

Sun Yumu said, "I don't like it even if it's sent to my house. First it was my grandfather, then my father and third uncle, and finally it was me. What's the relationship between us, why don't we give it to me again."

Then he fired at Xunxiang with his beautiful peach blossom eyes.

Xun Xiang laughed out loud, "Is the book really that good?"

"Of course it's true. I've never seen the emperor so fascinated by a book. He even temporarily put aside the matter of the one in the south."

"The one in the south" refers to Li Song, the current king of Nanlin.

King Nanlin is the only king of the opposite sex left in the Dali Dynasty.

Previously, there were three heterosexual kings in the Dali Dynasty, all of whom conquered the world side by side with Emperor Gaozu and were crowned kings. The other two were beheaded one after another for "rebellion", and only King Nanlin has inherited it to this day.

Nanlin Prince's Mansion is located in Dongtuo Mansion in Central South Province. For several generations, the princes only cared about enjoying themselves, did not raise soldiers, and did not talk about political affairs. Only the emperors of the past dynasties allowed them to continue to this day.

The emperor received a tip-off that Li Song, the king of this generation in the South, was different from the previous generations of princes. He secretly raised a lot of private soldiers, secretly colluded with the barbarians in the mountains and the small southern barbarian countries, and also won over some officials from the Central and South Provinces.

His purpose is self-evident.

But Li Song was cunning, and no one could find any clear evidence.

The emperor is waiting for an opportunity to send troops to deal with him.

At that time, Emperor Dali killed two other kings of the opposite sex, which made many courtiers feel chilled and felt that "the birds are gone, but the good bows are hidden".

To deal with King Nan Lin, we must seize the exact evidence of his crime, or find a way to force him to rebel...

Xun Xiang also vaguely heard about this matter. The two looked at each other and did not continue the topic.

Sun Demu added, "The emperor glared at me several times while he was reading. He also felt that I took advantage of the royal family by marrying his granddaughter home."

Xun Xiang was happy, unable to withstand Sun Yumu's sugar-coated bullets and electric eyes, so she asked the girl to get the set of books given to Ding Zhao's father, and then go to the printing workshop to pick up a set.

Sun Yumu was holding "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his arms before he could think of anything else to say.

"Zixiayuan has been sorted out, just waiting for me to take the bride home... Not only am I looking forward to it, but my mother is also looking forward to it. She personally went to the embroidery workshop to select some soft cloth suitable for children to make clothes..."

These words made the old-skinned Xun Xiang feel a little shy.

The two spent most of the sweet time chatting and laughing quietly, and they broke up at the end of the afternoon and went back to their respective homes.

When we arrived at Ding Mansion, it was already the time when the lanterns were on, and Ding Zhao had already gone home.

Ding Zhao was overjoyed when he saw the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" presented by Xun Xiang.

He said proudly, "I started telling Xiangxiang about the Three Kingdoms before she could speak. She must have been influenced by me when she wrote about the Three Kingdoms."

Ding Zhuang said, "Bullshit. My granddaughter wrote the Three Kingdoms because she is smart enough. She wants to take all the credit. Why don't you go to heaven?"

Ding Zhao was choked and speechless.

Xun Xiang hurriedly said, "I like the Three Kingdoms, and it is indeed influenced by my grandfather and father."

Ding Zhuang also wanted to hear it. After the meal, several men went to Ding Zhuang's courtyard outside, where Ding Liren read, while the other men listened until it was late before going to rest.

Ding Lichun wanted to ask his sister for two more sets, but Ding Zhuang scolded him, "Don't embarrass your sister, one set is enough."

A few days later, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" spread inside and outside the court. The emperor kept saying the following words when he went to court: "My granddaughter wrote the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The elders in the "Three Kingdoms" can't think of anything in it..."

The emperor also specially announced Xunxiang's entry into the palace, and the two talked about the Three Kingdoms for a long time.

Many people flocked to Sipin Study Room to buy books.

Shopkeeper Tang regretfully told them, "The book hasn't arrived yet. The princess said it will be on the market in the middle of the first month of next year. Come and buy it then."

People who were familiar with Xun Xiang and felt they had a certain status came to ask Xun Xiang for help, including the prince, King Qing, King Ji, King Jing, Xie Shoufu, Zhang Shangshu, Lord Mi, Governor Ren, Dong Ping, Qiu Wangzhi, Xun Yiqing......
